MATOPPO'S SEIZES
HELD FOR THREAT
Young Man in Jail Who Single
Handed Captured Ship.
PLANNED TO TAKE PANNONIA
He Tall* How He Frightened the Brlt
iah Captain and Crew of Fifty-alx
Into Submiaalon—Chineae Cook Only
Peraon Aboard Who Waa Not Afraid,
He Say a.
■Romantic Clarence Reginald Hodson,
tiie poetic looking young man who
scared flfty-slx men out of possession
or the British freighter Mntoppo off
Sandy Hook, Is still In Jail in New
York.
The twenty-three-year-old son of an
English father and a German mother
relieved the federal officials of consid
erable worry by relating that he had
prepared to sink the Pauuonla.
The Panuonia was on nor way 10
Xew York from London when Hodson
and his three associates began to con
sider the project of slipping aboard the
Cvnarder Just before she left here on a
return trip. She departed from Lon
don on Feb. 27 and got Into New York
on March 12.
By this Inter date, Hodson told Cap
tain Tuiiney, be had purchased a mo
torboat, which was to be run over from
Hoboken, where the plotters had head
quarters, to the ship. She left for
London on March 18.
The four men met in a Twelfth
street room at 11 o'clock on the night
of the 17th. That was to be the Dual
meeting before going aboard and at
It was to be settled whether the four
men were to try boarding her from
the pier, bringing dynamite with them,
or -were to bring the explosive from
Hoboken iu the motorboat and board
her from the waterside.
Decision had been made on one point
That was, to steal the liner's money.
Conditions were to determine whether,
after the quartet had taken charge of
the vessel, crew and passengers and
had set the crew and passengers off In
the small boats, the vessel was to be
blown up or permitted to sink by open
ing the sea cofks.
When Hodson got to the meeting
place that night It quickly became ap
parent to him that two of his bold fel
lows had lost faith In him and In them
selves. They told him the Job was
too big for them.
ills persisteuce or purpose, bu cir»r
ly shown by his temporary seizure of
the freighter Matoppo, becomes nil the
more surprising when one has studied
the young man. Captain Tunney was
amazed when he looked at Hodson.
He expected to see a husky giant of
menacing mien. lie saw a youth not
more than five feet ten inches In
height and weighing not over 100
pounds, nis brown mustache, though
well developed, does not conceal In the
mouth an apparent indication of .inde
cision, whi"h his achievement seems
to belle.
Soon after he was brought Into Cap
tain Tunney's room he betrayed his
thirst for notoriety. By courtesy of
Police Commissioner Woods some re
porters were permitted to question
the odd prisoner, who welcomed ques
tions from the newspaper men with
high enthusiasm.
"When 1 held up the captiiln," he
said. "I was as much frightened as he
was, I guess, but he gave In first. Ycu
see, I was very weak. I hadn't had
anything to eat for several days. 1
put the gun up to him, and It wavered
In my hand, but I guess he was too
much excited to take notice of that,
and he surrendered very quickly and
quietly.
It Amuced the Chink.
"The Chinese cook mnde me laugh.
After he had learned what the situa
tion was and that only one man had
taken the ship he came to me and told
me he thought what I had done was
awfully funny.
"Another amusing thing occurred the
same day. In the captain's room I saw
a big cake. I asked the captain what
it was for.
" 'We intended to eat It In celebration
of British victories,' he said.
" 'Cut It up,' I told him. 'We'll eat It
tonight In celebration of this German
victory.' And he and some of the
others ate It X had some of It too.
"Everybody on that ship except the
Chinese cook was frightened foolish.
When the captain and I went Into the
wireless room we found the operator
asleep. I touched him on the shoulder
and shouted, 'The Germans are here!'
The operator woke up and utmost rolled
off his chair. 'I am In charge of this
vessel,' I told him. I handed blm the
emergency fire ax and told him to
Hmash the apparatus. lie took the ax,
but he was so weak from fear he
couldn't hold it firmly enough to break
an egg. So I grabbed it and smashed
everything in the room."
Parrot Crie« Out "Fire!"
Sounding the alarm by calling "Fire,
fire!" a parrot saved the home of Lu
ther L. Scherer of Richmond, Va., from
destruction. The bird was rescued
nearly suffocated by smoke by a fire
man, who climbed In the window.
How Did Prisoners Etcaps?
Departing to ring curfew, city mar
shal of Prescott, S. D., left prisoner
undressed, handcuffed and chained to
a bed. When be got back prisoner had
left, wearing all his clothes and leav
ing the handcuffs.

WHAT PROHIBITION
IS DOING FOR
TACOMA.
I'robably th« jnost significant coii-<
meutary en the results of the clos
ing ot saloons here la found la 'he
testimony of the shoo dealers who
testify that there has been an, unpre
cedented boom in, the sale of chil
diea's shoes since prohibition, came.
ICcononiically, Tacma is in be*ter
shape right now than for years.
Workingmen who last yoa.r spent
most of the *ime looking for em
ployment are now practically all
employed. Grocers report business
growing all the time and collections
much better.
C. A. Beil, one of the largest
contractors, says there ia more) work
in the building line, in sight today
than there has been for five years
in Ihis city.
One great economic advantage to i
the city from prohibition is that
the many old shacks that were occu*
pifcd by saloons on the prominent
streets are being torn down and
replaced by modern, business blocks.
Practicii.'ly every building vacated
by a saloon in Tacoma has al
ready been occupied by some other
business, especially in the bus'11^
sections.
Police Judge Evans has Issued a
statement showing a decrease of
48 per cent In drunk and druulr
and disorderly cases the first month
of prohibition, while vagrancy de
creased 63 per cent, and fighting
and disorderly cafes, 100 per cent.
There was not a case of fighting or
disturbing the peace in this city of
lOu/'OO In the entire month of
January.
Prohibition has not brought any
of the disasters predicted by its
enemies, but is daily demonstrating
that it is a good thing. — A.
V. FAWCETT, Mayor of Tacoma,
