investigation OF reports that many blue
Jackets from the Philadelphia Navy Yard
are constant users Of drugs in Philadel-
phla's Tenderloin.
Lillian Rose, 3O67 North Lee street. and
Blanche Malchiere and her husband, John
Malchiere, s07 Buttonwood street, were
arrested early today by District De-
tectives weckesser and Mcfarland and

W. Glover. The Rose girl and Mrs.
Malchiere were with Burns, the dead
sailor, and Isaac Hicks another blue
Jacket on Monday night, when they took

CARBERRY, MURDER SUSPECT,
HAS POLICE RECORD IN CITY
Has Served Five Terms Here-Held
Following Mt. Holly Strangling.

Daniel Carberry. under arrest on sus-
piclon of having strangled Mrs. Celestine
u. .Dornau, of Palmyra, N. j., has long
police record in this city, It was learned
today. He has been identified as having
served twice in the Eastern Penitentlary
and three times in the Philadelphia

U. S. TO QUIZ MAN
WHO OUTWITS CENSOR
DR.. Kitsee, of Philadelphia,
Who Sold Device to Ger
many, Told Not to Talk.

Investigation by the Department Of Jus.
tice of reports that the Sayvllle station
of the Telefunken Wireless Company is
using secret device to send military in
formation to Germany without the knowl-
edge of the United States censor prob
ably will lead to the little alley court,
known as Walnut place. opening off Wal
nut street below 4th, in which the ap-
pliance was invented and where an agent
of the German Government inspected 1t
with DR.. Isadore Kitsee. the inventor.
Doctor Kitsee was cautioned by tele-
phone from New York this, morning
against further discussion of the situa-
tion that grew out of the disappearance
of his appliance until Government agents
have had talk with him. Doctor Kitsee
said today he will tell the whole story
to the official Investigators when they
call on him.
1t developed today that preliminaries
for the transfer of the invention to the
German Government were worked out
between Doctor Kltsee and an agent of
tho Kaiser in the rear room of the doc
tors office at 200 Walnut place. Later
Doctor Kitsee turned over the invention
to friend whom he empowered to COM
plete the transfer. and from him, ac-
cording to reports in Washington, the
German Government agents obtained the
appliance without paying for 1t. Doctor
Kitsee was to have had $4,000 as his
share In the invention.
He explained further today the manner
in which Government censors could be
trlcked and military information smug-
gled out OF the country on wireless out
fits equipped with his invention.
II developed that not only is 1t impos-
sible for outside stations to tune in"
and pick up the message when the de-
vice is used, but even the censor. sta
toned at the elbow of the operator send
ing at Sayville, could not learn the true
meaning of apparently innocent CONNER
cial messages.
Suppose I am the CENSOR" said Doc
tor Kitsee, land Mr. Rittenhouse, my as
slstant, is the operator He may say, I
want to send a message to Berlin ask
ing a physician there to come to this
country He may even ask me to write
the message in my own way, and 1,
as censor. having framed what I believe
is a message saying only one thing, turn
II over to him and watch beside him
while he sends 1t. AS censor know the
wireless alphabet, and hear that mes
sage go out into space, exactly as I
wrote II. Very good, think; but with
my invention that apparently innocent
message may mean that British ship
laden with arms has sailed from New
York and will reach the war zone on
certain day"
