"sr THE WVSHIXGTOX TDFES. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 24. 1D18. 9 11 BON E DRY 11 MAY BECOME RIDER TO POSTOFFICE BILL The Sheppard bllK to make the Dis trict or Columbia "bone dry." will probably be offered as an amend ment to the postoffice bill when that measure is taken up by the Senate. While a point of order miRht be held against the resolution, the offer ing of. the amendment would lead to sharp and probably lengthy contro ersy Should a point of order be raised. It would be possible to over ride It on appeal "from the chair by a majority vote or to suspend the rules. The Senate Tostofflre Committee still has the Sheppard bill bottled up and the opponents of the measure are trying- to keep it there as Ions as possible. If Senator Sheppard cannot get tho "bone dry" provision adopted as an amendment to the postoffice bill and the Postofflces Committee does not act on his bill in a short time, he will endeavor to get the District Commit tee to act. Ho has two "bone dry"' bills and one of them Is in the hands of the District Committee. Not long: ngo a subcommittee of the Postofflces Committee reported out the Sheppard bill under the mis apprehension that it had authority to act for the entire Postofflces Com mittee. Later, the report was with drawn, and the bill went back to the Postofflces Committee. PIRATES GAPTUR E L m TIE ENGINEER EN T PIERS XEW TOItK. April 21 Port au thorittlea having- barred small craft, such as Junk boats, from operations in an effort to prevent extensive stealing-, a band of bold harbor pirates Belied a big- tugboat, with steam up. ftt night, overpowered the only man on board and until daylight pillaged piers at distant points. All the crew of the tug Jlcta. ex cepting Michael O'Donnell, the en gineer, had gone ashore after the tug tied ud at Ensex street. Jersey Clt and he wan seated In his cabin read ing at 10 o'clock, when sir men, with caps down over their eyes, boarded the craft ' O'Donnell was overpowered, and. after being bound, was locked in a email bunk room. The captors knew all about running a tug, and soon O'Donnell knew that the Mela was leaving the pier and mining out into the stream For more than six Imurs the Meta moved about, making four stops be fore being returned to her plcf at Jer ey Citv "Donnell said that while he could not see what was being done, he heard enough to convince him that the tug waa run In alongside or sev eral piers, large quantities of goods thrown aboard and that then the Meta was taken to some place where the Broods were unloaded. After the tug had been tied up safe ly at the pier from which she had been stolen the harbor pirates went ashore, leaving the engineer still bound In the Jsunk room. Capt. Daniel McCarren. of 31 South street, Manhattan, later found his engineer a prisoner CREE SAYS HE DIDN'T 0. K.
