Theory Is That Skipper Worked Ruse That He
 Might Get Pay for Time.

Washington, March 26.--The theory that the captain Of the Hamburg American liner OdenWahl worked a smooth scheme to compel the United States government to pay him dam ages was expressed at the treasury department s #
 The fort fired across the bows of the vessel and compelled it to return. The Odenwahl was lying in the har- bor, earning no money. The captain applied for clearance, which was Withhald.
 When the ship vas brought back and detained, search disclosed no arms, ammunition food or coal which could be regarded as intended for a Wal ship. To all appearances the vessel was not violating neutrality.
 The theory is that the captain started to leave, knowing he would be brought back, and believed he could prove the United States had no right to seize the vessel and intended to make a de- mand for damages. No demand of the kind has been received yet.
