of Merchant Marine.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune


Morristown y. J., Feb. ,22.-The great
need of a merchant marine was the chief
topic in the address of Leslie NJ. Shaw, for
mer Secretary of the Treasury. before the
Washington Association OF New Jersey at
its annual meeting held in the Lafayette
Rooms this afternoon. Mr.. Shaw was most
emphatic in his declara tons regarding the
necessity of having American built ships
we have taken care of everything but
our merchant marine, said the former
Secretary. I'VE can make the Pacific ocean
an American sea if we have the courage,
fortitude and a merchant marine to possess
it" He added that Japan proposes 10
dominate the Pacific or make 1t run red.

every particular" said Mr. Shaw our
money is the natural money of commerce;
the English language is the language OF
commerce; our mines produce gold by the
trainload; our manufactures and payrolls
are larger than other countries have, and
we cart more freight. England, Germany
and Italy meanwhile bring their subsidized
ships to our shores to carry our goods. We
have the money but no ships.

TRIED TO SAVE GIRL
So Says Seyler, Declaring She
FeU off Pier.
Try Telegram TO The Tribune. ]


Atlantic CITY Feb C2-William Seyler in
his statement to the police last night said
that Jane Adams fell over the railing OF
the Million Dollar Pier by accident, and that
he fed the city only because he was afraid
that he would be held responsible for her
death. Seyler said that the girl ran TO the
rail during a quarrel with him. but refused
TO admit that she met her death while try
ing 70 prevent him from attacking her,
I'VE had some words, and Janey backed
up against the rail and fell backward into
the ocean, said Seyler. Il tried to save
her. but she sank like a stone. and her
body must have gone under the pier be-
fore 1 could get down the ladder 10 grab
her
According to seyler's story the girl fell
over at the exact spot on the landing near
the fish net where the police said they
found blood stains. Seyler said he believed
the girls body struck those planks in its
downward course and bounded from them
into the turbulent waters beneath.
When openly charged with first killing
Che girl and throwing her body into the
ocean, Seyler made vehement denial. He
said he and the dead girl had been friends
for years and, while they had some words.
vet their quarrel was over nothing serious.
Asked why ne ran away SeS iei S~io ho
was afraid Il know l should have come
10 the chief and told him about it, but
lost my nerve" he said. 81 couldn't even
tell Mrs Adams the truth when she came
to my house that night. l told my brother
the next morning, and we concluded to go
away. It was big mistake that we made.
and we realize now that II would have been
better for US II We had stuck"
Coroner Sontheimer has drawn jury
and will hold the inquest tomorrow night.
1t is certain that Seyier Will be held for
the death OF the girl and be committed TO
the county Jail TO await the action OF the
grand jury.
William Seylers wife was again per-
rnitted to visit him to-day, and stll de-
cIares her faith in her husbands innocence
