GUN RUNNING.
A DRAMATIC STORY. ARMS FOR RUSSIA. *Y CABL1 —P It MSB ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT i LONDON, July 4. The Daily Express says that Captain Degoede, of the steamer Helder, tells a dramatic story of how he was out of a job at Rotterdam, when he was asked to run a cargo of machine-guns from England to Petrograd. He assented, and found a motor boat in the North Sea, from which were transhipped 14 heavy cases to the Helder, which carried them to the Winter Palace of the Czars, near Petrograd. Scores of detectives continue to search the Thames. Yesterday they discovered that another consignment of guns was sent to Petrograd a few; days after the Helder sailed.
