been lost nor had any great damage

MUTINY ABOARD STEAMER

Desperate Fight Between Lascar Fac
tons Forced Vessel to Re-
turn to Port.

The story of the mutiny on board the
steamed out of Philadelphia Christmas
day for England. but which turned back
when the lights of Cape Henlopen were
still in sight, came out today at the
Treasury Department in a report from
Capt. Johnston of the revenue cutter
Seneca, which went to the rescue of the
Da meny's officers and put Quietus to
the revolt.
Capt. Johnston reported that the trou-
BILE started among East Indians in the
crew, probably caused by some violation
of the rule Of caste which binds MEM
bers of that race more strongly than any
law. The crew of the Dalmeny was made
up of Iascars: the firemen We're big men
from the Punjab district of India, while
the deck crew were smaller men from the
plains. They began fighting among them
selves about the time the steamer passed
out Of the mouth of the Delaware, and it
took the combined efforts of the master.
Eben Gordon and the flourish of revolv-
ers to bring order At that there were
plenty of wounds distributed among the
Lascars. and everybody in the riot was
badly beaten.
While the third officer conned the ship
and turned her back into the Delaware
the captain and the two other mates kept
the sections of the crew apart The Sem
eca came to the rescue Off Lewes Dell
and after an investigation by the British
vice consul from Philadelphia turned
over to him two of the crew, who prob
ably will be sent to England for trial.
The Dalmeny turned out again and start
ed on her voyage to Avonmouth.

PLAN FIGHT FOR ESTATE
Will of Philadelphia, Probated,
Leaves Half Million to Maid
and Friends.

PHILADELPHIA, January 3.-The will
of the late John G. Watmough, which
left 100000 to a maid and 100000 to a
man and wife who We're his friends,
ignoring all heirs at law, was admitted
to probate today by the register of wills
Of Philadelphia, after determined fight
had been made by relatives against such
action. 1t is expected the contest will
now be carried into the courts.
Mr.. Wstmough was seventy-six years
old when he died, and had been an in
valid for several years. His wife, who
was Caroline Drexel, an aunt of the pres
ent head of the Drexel family, died sew
eral years ago
The maid to whom Mr.. Watmough
left 100000 is Sallie FACET. who was a
nurse to both Mr.. and Mrs. Watmough.
The 100000 was left to Ferdinand Kel-
lar and his wife, dealer in antiques,
who became a warm friend Of Mr.. Wat
mough through business dealings. Mr..
Watmough ignored a half brother, the
children of a deceased half sister and the
son of q deceased sister.
The ground against admitting the will
to probate was that Mr.. Watmough was
of unsound mind when the will was
drawn. The register of wills today de-
cided that no testimony was presented at
the hearing to prove the allegations of
the contestants

SECRETARY LANE LAUDS
LAND OFFICE SURVEYS
Better Work Done Than Ever Be
fore, He Says, at Less
Cost.

THE best work ever accomplished is
the way Secretary Lane sizes up the sur
veying work performed by the general
land office In 1918. He made this brief
Mandatory remark after receiving the re-
port today of Commissioner Tallman of
the land Office on the survey operations of
the bureau during the past year.
Secretary Lane declares that the sea-
sons work demonstrates conclusively the
success of the direct system of surveys
by the government rather than by COM
petitive contract Not only Is the actual
work itself materially less expensive
the Secretary says, 'but the results are
far more satisfactory.
During the year about 14.2500 900 acres
of the public domain were surveyed. at a
cost of approximately B $40 cents an
acre for field work. Most of this sur
veyed area lies west of the 10Jth meridian
of west longitude and includes Alaska.
but surveys and resurveys have also been
made in Nebraska. South Dakota, Arkan-
sas, Louisiana and Florida.

he so desired. without interference. 1t
is said that the count met his death by a

He proposed to fit UP his suicide hotel

be suitable for his purpose.
Planned Educational Campaign.
When he left the city he announced
that his idea was to conduct an educa-

from their squeamish ideas as to suicide,
recognizing that the laws of the country
would hamper him in his pet plan.
In regard to the eternal rest room in
his proposed establishment, he was

the most convenient and merciful means
to relieve those who wished from this
