Richardson, 91, widow of the first mate on “the phantom ship,” the| Marie Celeste, whose crew vanished on the high seas in 1873, died last | night—the mystery of her husband’s | “ate still unsolved. | As a bride, Mrs. Richardson stood down on the dock and waved good-by to her husband, Albert, and the crew &8s the Marie Celeste sailed for Genoa from New York Harbor with a cargo of alcohol in casks. She never saw her husband again. The British bark, Dei Gratia, found the Marie Celeste floating on the | ocean off the Azores on December 4, 1873, nearly a month after she sailed— no man aboard. i The cargo was undisturbed, there were no signs of disorder and food had been prepared for the next meal. The gold watch of the skipper, Capt. B. S. Briggs, hung by its chain beside | his empty berth. | The ship’s log said the vessel had passed the Island of St. Mary, in the Azores. That was the last entry. In the 63!, years that followed Mrs. Richardson lived quietly in Brooklyn, | sometimes alone, and in late years | with a niece. She steadfastly declined | to tell her “life story” for publication. A For the last few years she had | been in poor health. She was born in Eastport, Me., and came to Brooklyn as a bride. She is survived by a brother, William Bpates. Funeral services will be held at B p.m. Sunday. FOUND. ntaining_money and per- O RAC, “Cmer ot Yoty West 95 148 e LOST.

NEW YORK, April 30.—Father Di- vine, colored evangelist, spent 20 min- utes in Felony Court today, but a mild wrangle between attorneys held up for a week his arraignment on the felonious assault charge made against him after a white man was stabbed in his Harlem heaven. The delay in settling this disturbing mundane factor in his affairs appar- ently did not worry the little brown man, however. Grinning widely, wav- ing his hands to scores of his followers, he left the Criminal Courts Building | and rode back to Harlem. The dispute between the lawyers came about bscause the principal wit- | ness, Harry ( keen, Weehawken, N. J., contractor, vho was stabbed early in the morning of April 20, is still in Harlem Hospital. But the hundreds of Harlemites who believe Father Divine is God knew naught of this phase. They had gathered in Lafayette and Center streets long before the sched- uled hour of arraignment, standing at first around the entrances to the gloomy old building, and later in shift- ing, restless groups on the corners, while mounted police and half a hundred uniformed patrolmen prevent- ed them from crowding together. When at last the maroon limousine cairying Divine rolled swiftly into White street from Lafayette a shout went up. One young woman, eyes bright with frenzy, dashed through the streets, screaming: RELIABILITY in diamonds Our forty-five years of established reliability is equivalent to an insurance policy on your diamond investment, standards of Quality and Value at the highest possible level at the beginning.

Ships May Be Tied Up. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 30.—The Inter- national Mercantile Marine Co. was threatened today with a possible strike which might keep its vessels at New York City piers. A rift within the ranks of the Inter- national Seamen's Union was behind the threat. The American Merchant, scheduled to sail today for Europe, and the Pan- ama Pacific Lines Pennsylvania, due to sail tomorrow for California, were most likely to be held up. Strike Threat Follows Meetings. ‘The strike threat followed day-long meetings yesterday in the office of Mrs. Elinor M. Herrick, regional di- rector of the National Labor Relations Board, between officials of the union and a group of members headed by Joseph Curran. The Curran faction contended the officials no longer represent a ma- Jjority of the union, and they de- manded an immediate election to de- termine spokesmen for a projected conference with I. M. M. officials for a wage contract. Union officials insisted their con- tract with the I. M. M. remain effec- tive. Union Chiefs Deny Authority. Curran after the conference jssued the strike threat. Mrs. Herrick said she had no immediate solution of the problem. Union leaders said they lacked au- thority to approve an immediate elec- tion, and that they could not act until after the union’s national coun- cil next Wednesday in Chicago. velt Perry, who were arrested after the Harlem melee, and Father Divine. They stepped forward. Perry's shoulder grazed the body of his leader and he looked abashed. Father Di- vine gave him a comforting smile. Assistant District Attorney Ray- mond Leo asked at once for a post- explaining it was impos- sible to have Green in court before next Friday. Kranzler objected. He demanded that an affidavit, set- ting forth the charges be filed in | place of the police short affidavit “We are entitled to know who the complainant is and what the com- plaint is,” he said The magistrate interposed, suggest- ing the lawyers settle the question of postponement amicably. Then Kranzler asked the court to direct that a statement be procured from Green, but the magistrate said he had no power to do this. Madison then asked for permission to allow defense attorneys to get such a state- ment, but this also was denied. After further quibbling the defense agreed to wait until Priday, and | Father Divine, smiling, pleased, walked out of the room. Police and detectives squeezed out | & path for him.

By the Associated Press, SAVANNAH, Ga, April 30.—Two “level-headed citizens,” who didn't want their names known, won praise today for saying from possible mob vengeance a Negro farmhand accused of an attack on a white woman near Blythe, Ga. The Augusta Herald named the two men as Fred Pennington and Ben Pulcher, both “about 50 years olg,” of Blythe, a town of 209 population in Bast-Central Georgia. The Negro, booked as Will Hopkins, ‘was brought here for safekeeping late yesterday after his rescuers turned him over to Sheriff J. L. Herrington of Burke County. The two had out- witted a mob gathered near Midville, about 100 miles northwest of here, by riding the Negro around rural Burke | County in an automobile until they found the sheriff. In Atlanta, R. B. Eleazer, secretary | of the Interracial Commission, said | the citizens’ action was “one of the most credible things ever ‘done in such a case” “A bright spot in the lynching sit- uation: is that more and more are being prevented by intelligent citizens and conscientious officers,” he added. | The attack on the white woman oc- curred near Blythe, on Monday, but the suspected Negro eluded posses | in a nearby swamp. Hopkins was recognized while at work on a con- | struction gang near Midville yesterday. | Columbus Fete Proposed. Senator Davis, Republican, of Penn- sylvanis, proposed today that a five- man commission be appointed-to ar- Tange a celebration in 1942 of the 450th anniversary of Columbus’ voyage to America.
