LOCAL VESSEL LOOTED
HALIFAX, April 2—With hcr. deckhouse gone, bulle; holes in the floor
of cabin, and her crew relating another
lurid tale of hi jacking off New York,
the tern schooner "Faustina", owned by
John Penny and Sons of Ramea, Newfoundland, engaged in the rum trade,
arrived in port to-day. . Several weeks
ago the Faustina sailed from Halifax
with a cargo of liquors valued at several hundred thousands of dollars,
clearing, it was stated, for "Nassau" or
"Honduras." The story, as told today by members of hcr crew, was that
nearly two weeks ago the Faustina
while off New York "Rum Row" awaiting customers, was boarded by thc
crew of a small boat, which came alongside with such speed that no identification marks could bc secured. Thc
new comers, heavily armed, overpowered ihc rum runners' crew, drove them
below decks, sailed the craft fifty
miles souih, and disposed of thc cargo

ROME, April 2—Benito Mussolini,
Italian Premier, made a stirring
speech before the Senate to-day when
he took up the question of re-organization of the Italian army. Thc gist of
his speech was the old adage, "in time
of peace prepare for war." He expressed thc belief that there wcre more

A baffling MYSTERY
LONDON. April 2-Scotland Yard

death story that is engaging British
crime experts. Detectives, rummaging
in a gloomy old Bloomsbury mansion,
built over a graveyard, in which were
recently found the bodies of Granville
Cooke, SO, poet and inventor, and Sel-
wyn Foster, 21, son of a wealthy family, found a number of human bones.
The deaths of Cooke and Foster have
baffled the police. While it seems
Cooke died of gas poisoning, Foster apparently" died several hours esrlier.
