OFFICER MAY BE
SHORT IN Cash
Captain A. ]. Matthews Has
Not Been at Mare Island
Since February 3.

That Captain Arthur j. Matthews, u
>. M. G., may be a defaulter, is the
story which appears in the Coast pa
pers of March 6.
The Chronicle has the following to
say of the officer:
Captain Arthur j Matthews, United
States Marine Corps who disappeared
mysteriously from Mare Island on Feb
ruary 3, is believed to have fed from
his post, where he was warden of the
naval prisoners, because of financial
dfficultieS. A board of survey, con-
sisting of Captain j. NJ. Salladay, Cap
tain Charles T. Wescott and Lieuten-
ant Louis Hoyt, which was appointed
TO examine his accounts, is said to
have discovered shortage approx
mating $4,000.
1t is reported that Matthews was
short $500 in his mess accounts and
5000 belonging to the prisoners, which
was left in his charge. 1t is said that
relatives of the missing officer are en-
deavoring to effect compromise with
the Navy Department.

Mrs. Helen Mari Prochdokisky. the
Hawaiian woman who has attracted
attention in San Francisco by decIar-

OF Charles r. Bishop, formerly of Ho-

statement made by Bishop when he
was called to testify in police court
Where the woman was on trial charg-
ed with obtaining money under false
pretenses. A Coast paper gives the
following account:

upon her any money or property.
Inc woman entered the limeligbt

lalleged that she had represented ia

She was charged with having PASSED
TWO checks for $4,000 and $500, re-

OF having obtained the check for 5000
was filed against her.

The Man Who Got Even
BY CARL JENKINS

John Singleton had owned and run
factory for 40 years. Those who
dealt with him In a business way
called him an eccentric; his employees
denounced him as a skinflint and a
robber. No one could say that he
had ever given q cent to charity.
When sickness came to one OF his
men that man was bounced right out
without q word OF sympathy. Appeals
didn't go with him. He had started
In life with the feeling that the whole
world was down on him, and in being
what he was he felt that he was
lighting the world and holding his
own.
At the age OF seventy Mr.. Single
When he left the factory for the last
time the workmen appeared at the
ioors and windows and sent a chorus
of groans after him. and the street
oeggars took 1t up and passed II along.
He reached home-a home presided
over by an aged sister-to find that a
woman who had walked the streets
Tor two days without food had sat
Down on his steps to weep and rest.
He called the police and had her re-
moved. A one-eyed man loaflng on

II was natural to believe that after

On a competence and had nothing to

have come a change In him for the
better. Nothing Of the kind hap
pened! He was still scrapping with

instead Of sympathetic.
One day he halted on corner,

Engineer Tells Naval Architects and
Engineers How Il Stops Rolling
Motion Of Boats and How Ap-
piled to Compass.

New York.-The wonders Of the gy-
roscope were limited at by Elmer A.
Sperry at the meeting of the naval
rchitects and marine engineers at the
Engineering Societies building. He
told how ships could be made to keep
IN even keel In a heavy sea. and how
the gyroscopic force was applied to
the compass.
The meeting was the second day SEES
sion Of the annual gathering Of the
naval men for the presentation OF
their scientific papers on q wide range
of subjects. Besides the gyroscope.
such subjects were discussed as the
reduction Of loss by fire aboard ship.
the use Of producer 60" "s motive pow
er, and coaling warsl
When the motive l~.9er Of vessels
changed from an upsetting force (the
saiD to one almost exclusively Of for
ward thrust" said Mr.. Sperry. "the de-
sign of ships underwent quite radical
changes in connection with lines az
fecting the stability, decreasing this
factor and favoring decreased resist
ance. aiding the attainment Of higher
speeds. Now that stability may be
impaired to a structure Of naturally
small righting movement. We are on
the eve Of even more radical changes
In design.
The problem Is to hold the ship
from rolling by neutralizing with the
gyroscope each disturbing influence as
1t reaches the ship while availing our
selves of all the aid possible through
the design of the hull and the dispo-
sition Of the masses. A great
many ships as they now stand could
with profit utilize the gyroscope
steadying gear. which is at present
available, and some important installa-
lions are now being contemplated"
Mr.. Sperry told us seeing Russian
warships constructed in Hamburg
which were furnished with $50 to 400
tons of water slushing back and forth
periodically In huge tanks to counter
act the roll Of the ship so as to make
It possible to operate the guns on a
level. The movement of the water has
to be timed to the roll of the sea. and
when 1t gets out of time 1t turns into
q menace.
THE gyroscope, on the other hand,
is not limited to any particular Pc
Rod of the boat: 1t simply responds
to whatever motion the ship has,
synchronous or non-synchronous,"
said Mr.. Sperry. the question Is often
asked: Why is a gyroscope better
than a moving weight In a ship for

rotating mass of the gyro can be
made to do the work OF from $50 to
200 pounds. and directed in any de-

Mr.. Sperry gave a very interesting.

ton Of the peculiar faculty possessed
by the gyroscope which made 1t pos
sible to transfer energy around a
