BEGINS ROW IN
NAVAL SERVICE
Secretary Meyer Accused of Fa-
voritism-Selects Friend AS
Chief of Navigation.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Special
Friction and fractional disruption of
the naval service were predicted to-
day following the announcement by
Secretary Meyer of his appointment
OF his personal aide Commander
Philip Andrews to be chief of the
Bureau of Navigation.
Commander Andrews will be the
youngest officer in rank to have ever
held that post. which heretofore has
been given to a captain or rear adj
miral. Officers senior to Andrews to-
day made little effort to conceal their
displeasure.
1t is charged that Secretary Meyer.
through personal liking for Com
mander Andrews, asked Rear Admiral
Nicholson to resign two years before
his term expired in order to make
room for his side.
Commander Andrews has for two
years been Mr.. Meyers first lieutenant
in carrying out his changes in policy,
organization and personnel.
The older Officers keenly resent the
appointment of so young a man, who,
they say, mover had a command at
sea, to be chief Of such an important
bureau.

Strange Bearded Eskimos.

Whatever may be said against II,
there is certainly something very fas-
cinating about the theory advanced
by Mr.. Stefansson, arctic explorer for
the American Museum Of Natural
History, that the fair-haired, beard
wearing Eskimos he recently saw in
Victoria Land are descendants of the
survivors of Sir John Franklin's lost
party.
FrankIYn's two ships, the Erebus
and Terror, were shut in by ice in the
fall of 1916 twelve miles north of
King Williams Land. Here the party
remained all winter, and here, I'm
June, 1S47, Sir John died. Another
year passed, and Captain CroZier, now
in command, seeing no immediate
prospect of getting out with the ships,
deserted them with 105 men. They
started southwark, hoping to reach
some outpost of the Hudson Bay Com
pany or some shelter established by
Sir John on previous expeditions to
the arctic shores. Not one of these
men IS known to have escaped, and,
though 80 rescue parties in all were
sent out to find them, not nearly
enough evidence were found to ac-
count for the deaths of all OF them
1t is very pleasant to think that all
OF these gallant men did not perish
miserably OF starvation and cold, bur
found friendly Eslximos. and, despair
ing OF rescue, settled down to live our
their lives among the kindly natives.

esting myst3ries Of history e sup

GUARDIAN STINGY;

NEW YORK, Specialists Car
lotta Heath insists that a young So
ciety woman worth s145,000 at least
should have much more money in her
purse than her guardian, Frederick
r. Maddox, allows her. On the
enough to be her grandfather. talks
severely Of Miss Heath's "eXtrava-
CANT expenditures"
So Miss Heath has petitioned the
Orphans Court of Essex county, n. J.,
to remove Mr.. Maddox as her guar
dian and the administrator of her es-
tate and to order him to make an ac-
counting of his stewardship. Judge
Martin Will act on the petition in
Newark. Mr.. Maddox states in his
answer he is entirely ready to make
an accounting If the court so directs.
Miss Carlotta has been residing
with Mr.. and Mrs. Maddox in their
fine home, 500 Roseville Avenue,
Newark. The papers in the case
make ii plain that her life there was
not all roses and caramels.
Mr.. Maddox was the business part
ner OF her late grandfather, Edward
+. Heath, in the manufacture of OIL
cloth and linoleum. Mr.. Heath left
Miss Carlotta $4,000; her grand
mother, dying, bequeathed her $125,-
600. Both wills made Mr.. Maddox
executor and Miss Carlotta's guardian.
MISS Aealn does not state now much
money she thinks she should have to
spend. But in her petition she charges
that her guardian has invested some
of the funds from her estate for his
personal advantage rather than in her
interest; she mentions certain mort
cages specifically. She declares, too,
that Mr.. end Mrs. Maddox have ig-
nored her presence in their home;
have even refused to speak to her.
Mr.. Maddox retOrts that these
strained relations were caused by
Miss Carlotta's "unkind and impu-
dent manner and her insubordina-
ton" He says, too, she has not rem
dered him the respect which his rela-
tions to her and his years entitled him
to receive from her"

SOUL HYPNOTIZED;
SOLES ELECTRIFIED

NEW YORK, Special.-Seemingly
John Lazara's consciousness was in
his mental subcellar Tuesday. He
appeared to be hypnotized. He lay
on the pavement OF Flatbush Avenue,
near Albemarle Road. The trolley
cars were running, the rubber plants
were growing, the oybs were calling
the Manhattan newspapers, Brooklyn
was at its liveliest, but Lazara rocked
not OF IL all.
His fixed eyes stared at the dull
sky; his muscles were taut. Nearby,
on the side OF a a wall, was a basel ball
score; but Lazara did not care wheth-
er Baker made a home run or not.

from Philadelphia.

and the bankers. The princess mod

The Princess Zulieka made strange
and fearsome motions with her hands
and slender fingers over Lazara's
head; the crowd which circled around
them grew so large that il halted
trolley car and shut off the air from
n rubber plant on a nearby window
sill.
Il have him in my power" ex-
claimed the princess and she kicked
Lazara on the ear. He never moved;
the crowd gaped wider-such an act
is resented in Flatbush, usually.
Il have hypnotized him, his soul is
now communing with the wisest of the
wise. who dwells in cave of the Him

jumped on Lazara's breast bone.
He did not stir.
