SAY GERMAN STOLE
GUN DESIGN HERE
Prints for Busy Berthas' Filed
by Baltimore Man Taken
from Patent Office.

Baltimore, July 5.-The big guns
known as busy Berthas," the concep-
ton Of a Baltimorean and which were
first made in Germany, are now being
used by the British in the western
theatre Of war.
When the blueprints showing the de-
sign of the huge gun were fled in the
Potent Office IN Washington they were,
it is alleged, confscated by a German
SPY employed in the office lie resigned
and fastened TO the Krupp works in
Germany where the guns were manu-
featured before the European war be-
Fearing that other governments
would spy out the guns, the hrupps
laid them aside in their yards and
marked them as failures. Hence they
attracted no attention. Their long
range was not discovered until they
were put into service.
The Dawson Chemical Company, of
Baltimore. had fled the patent. When
Colonel C.. Wilbur Miller. president OF
the company. read of the havoc wrought
by the Busy Bcrthas" his suspicious
were aroused At the Patent Office he
learned that the blueprints were pre-
abstracted. Duplicate prints were pre-
pared and, armed with these, he went
TO England, where ne handed the dupu-
Gates to the British military authorl-
ties. Il IS stated here that guns have
been built in England on the designs
furnished by Colonel Miller and are
now at the front.

NOT IN MORGAN
PLOT, SAY REDS
Crime Due to Pro-German IN
fluences, Say Anarchist
Leaders Here.

Anarchist leaders believe the at
tempted assassination of j. 7. Morgan
was inspired purely by pro-German in
Aueuces.
Leonard D. Abbott, Of the Fcrrer
school of anarchists, last night made
the following statement expressing
their viewpoint;
"The attempt to kill Morgan was
wholly inspired by pro-Gcrmans IN this
country. by people who are In sympa-
thy with the German cause, who want
10 prevent the Allies from getting war
munitions.
The neutral attitude Of the anar-
chist forces of the world with relation
90 the war is due TO the fact that the
anarchists of the world are divided in
their sympathes While there are
Russian and Jewish anarchists who
take sides with Germany because OF
their hatred Of the Russian govern
ment, there is strong sentiment
among the anarchists In favor OF the
Allies because Of their desire 10 see
Germany crushed, since they believe
tho German military power dangerous
10 international democracy and the lib
critics Of the worlds peoples.
81, myself, am q sympathizer OF the
Allies because of my recognition OF the
danger of German mIlitarism.
"Eecogn.zing that it would be use
less for them TO mix in the present
war when they are divided in their
sympathies, the anarchist groups
throughout the world have come 90 the
conclusion that their best policy would
be to let the war alone. Pro-German
influences and interests wholly and
solely were behind the effort to assas-
sinate Mr.. MorRan"

Annapolis, July Sin the Court OF
Inquiry. which has been in session here
for four weeks, conducting an investi-
CATION into the examination scandal at
the Academy, a question has arisen Us
20 whether those defendants who re-
ceiycd their diplomas Of graduation
from the Academy in June, but who
have not received their commissions,
can be punished by the Secretary OF the
Navy, should the findings of the court
indicate that the facts warrant II. It
is the general belief that these young
men are actually ensigns in the navy,
az the act of Congress approved July
9. 1913, provides that "midshipmcn on
graduation shall be commissioned en-
signs in the navy" However, Judge
Advocate Watt has been careful 20
bring out the fact in connection with
each OF these defendants that none has
actually received his commission.
This question does not arise in the
case Of Midshipman K. Mex. Nel9on

On the American liner ST. Louis,
which arrived here yesterday from Liv-
erpool. came D. A. Thomas, VI. F., the
Welsh coal mine operator, who was Sc
lected recently by the British govern
ment TO act as its business agent IN
this country and Canada. Mr.. Thomas,
who has been here many times, ex-
pressed much concern over the attack
on d. p. Morgan, the news OF winch
reached the ST. Louis by wireless on
Saturday soon after the shooting.
In expressing his sympathy for Mr.
Morgan Mr. Thomas said that he IN
tended 90 cooperate with Mr.. Morgan
i'm purchasing munitions, and added
there had been no occasion for criticism
of the Morgan interests IN ITS DISPOSE
tion Of contracts for war supplies on
this side of the water
Mr.. Thomas said he was going TO
Canada within a day to begin an IN
vestIEation of the reports and com
plants chat Canada had not been fairly
treated in the awarding Of war con-
tracts.
The coal mans attitude was exceed
ing,v friendly toward the NOrgans. lie
reiterated the sentiments expressed a
few days ago on that subject by Sir
Thomas ShaUghuessy, president Of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, who is asso-
ciatcd with him in the purchase Of sup
plies. mr. Thomas said he would make
an effort to see J. p. Morgan if the
luttcr's condition permitted meeting.
The Welsh fnancier is a survivor
Of the Lusitania, and he expressed
thankfu,ness yesterday over his escape
from death on the lost Cunardcr At
that time he had not been considered
for the post he now holds.
Soon after his appointment IT was
heralded throughout England that he
had been saved by divine interference
that be might fulfil the important
duties he is now about TO enter upon.

day, Of had a close call. Divine inter

Mr.. Thomas said his stay here would
be indefinite. lie thought his work
would require his presence in this
country and Canada until the end OF
the war, which he thought would last a
long time. No matter how long II lasts,
he said, there can be only one ending,
