PIRATES STEAL TWO YACHTS AT SOUTHPORT Enter Harbor in Sail- boat— Abandon One Vessel Because It Has No Rudder VALUABLE CRAFT Search Being M a d e Along Coast for “Lit- tle Hope,” W h i c h Holds Stamford Championship SOlI’l‘lll‘Oil'l‘. June 13.——Sound pirates. sometime yesterday morning at hlgli tide, invaded the. Souihport harbor and stole two boats valued at several thousand dollars. The thieves are believed to have towed the crafts with a larger sail boat. as no sound of a motor boat. was heard by a crew sleeping on tho "Kainma" moored nearby. One of. the beats. the "Bugherera" a sloop owned by Dr. Dougal Bis- sell. of the Pequot yacht club. was abandoned off Sunken island when the thieves found that it. had no rudder. 'l‘lit-y succccdcd in making off with the “Little liopc." ‘K" class. owned by liclcn B. Van Scliaick. and valued at 32.000. The "Baghcrcra" was noticed drifting on the sound by tho liar- bor master who immediately noti- fied George Sherwood who with oth- ers sailed out to recover it. noticing on the way that the "Little Hope" ~was missing from her moorings in the outer harbor. The alarm was spread all along the coast and dur- ing the day boats searched every inlet along the nearby shore without success. The "Little" Hope." which is fully insured has won many races and at present holds the Stamford championship. Several boats were also anchored in the harbor. but all were under- going various repairs. the "Little liope" being the only boat in con- diiion. Last fall thieves entered the '.'an Srhaik home and stole all the tro- phies won by their boats. STURGEON, 7 FT. LONG CAUGHT " IN CONN. RIVER Found in Shad Net—é Weighs 250 Pounds ——Valued at $250 MIDDLETOWN. June 13.—.A 250 pound sturgeon, seven feet long. was caught in the (‘onnccticut River near here Thursday night by Joseph Wel- shock and Joseph Ziobron, Moodus fishermen. It is the largest of its species to be taken in the river in several years and is valued at from $250 to $300. The catch is believed to have solved a mystery as to what has been playing havoc with shad nets in this vicinity for several nights. The pre- vious night. William Clark, an East liaddam fisherman, found a great rent in his not which evidently had been caused by a large fish's suc- cessful struggle to get free. and Dan~ iel Lane of East lladdam found sev- eral small sturgeon in his net. The giant sturgeon was found wound up in the Moodus men‘s net and there were evidences of a fierce struggle to liberate itself. It was ex- amined by William Bauer of the United States Bureau of Fisheries and Edward Connery of Leesville. ah agent of the state board of fisheries and game. The fact that it is a fe- male increases its value. as the fish- ermen secured a large quantity of roe from it. this roe being used for caviar dishes. It was sent to New York last night on the night boat. BILLIARD PLAYER DIES CHICAGO. June 13.——(AP). Cal- vin Demercst. former world's cham- pion 18.2 balkllne billiard player. died here yesterday.

Whether he sacrific- edn distinguished career in law or surgery will remain unanswered. but the work he chose eventually made him internationally known and a leader in two widely diversified fields—sis head of an internationa‘ labor organization and president of labor's first national bank in Amer- icu. One of the characteristics of Mr. Stone in doi g a thing was a. deter- mination to t o it.as well as anyone could.

He worked five years and nine months at the firing job before he was promoted to engineer.
