SHONTS HAZY ABOUT
yellow DOG FUND"
Interborough President Shows
Defective Memory as to I'M
portant Details

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Theodore T.
Shonts, president of the InterborOugh,
who got s29OOOO in one year from various
sources, when he resumed the witness
stand this afternoon before the Thomp-
son Legislative Committee, showed a
lack Of memory on some important de-
tails,
The investigators, leading up to the
alleged S2,0OO0OO yellow dog fund, asked
Shonts If he knew the terms of the dual
subway contracts,
"Only in a vague way" was the an
swer, II was for engineering these con-
tracts that Shonts said the Interborough
directors voted him a bonus OF $50, ,OOO
Asked about "slush" funds, Shonts
said he thought such a fund would he one
for improper purposes. He was asked
to define his idea of an improper fund.
'If you paid an official to change his
views that would be improper" Shonts
said.

DANIELS ROOKIE PLAN
FOR NAVY HITS A SNAG
If Civilians Are Trained, Where
Will the Officers Come From?
the Experts Ask
Whore will the officers come from2

Where Will the officers come from?
This query is the answer of navy men
to Secretary Daniels plan for training
civilians for the navy by giving them a
months cruise on battleshlps,
The news of the latest creative effort
of the Secretary of the Navy was not
taken seriously at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard. Officers there had no trouble in
finding many flaws in the whole plan,
which Mr., Daniels expects will turn 2500
citizens into as many navy men.
While the shortage of enlisted men in
the navy is acute, the deficiency in the
ranks of the officers is even more so,
the officers say, And what they want to
know is: How can a man learn even the
elementary rudiments of naval strategy
if there are no officers to teach him? The
reserve fleet at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard, which would be available for such
a purpose Is now short 100 officers and
5000 men.
Wherein lies the trouble? The present
policy of MIR. Daniels is material first,
then enlisted men and then officers, which
Is entirely wrong, according to the navy
men, and should be reversed.
The civilian training school plan was
described as a "cheap yachting cruise
and other uncomplimentary remarks We're
made, and the officers at the yard also
pointed out that although the men may
be taught how to shoot a gun in four
weeks they will never learn in that time
what is more important, and that is, what
the gun can do in relation to those on
other ships, especially those of the foe.
One officer, who preferred that his name
be not quoted, has a plan which would
provide for the deficiency of officers in
the navy.
"Why not take a thousand men from
the colleges and technical schools of the
country and put them on the payroll of
the navy as ensigns?" he asked. "If they
were kept In the navy for four years they
would be efficient officers, especially as
they would have at the start a thorough
knowledge of those sciences that are use.
full in the service At the end of that
time, If they didn't want TO continue in
the ranks. they could leave. But, at any
rate, we would have a splendid reserve 10
fall back on-a reserve of officers which
is what we now need"

SALOONMAN'S SLAYER
QUEER COPS ADMIT
Anderson Uncertain in Speech
and Actions, They Testify at
Trial for Murder

Action in the trial of John f. Anderson,
accused of the murder of James +. Camp
bell "A saloonkeeper at 2lst and Market
streets, progressed slowly, when counsel
for both the State and the defense oCCu-
pied most of the session this morning with
pleas to Judge Henry to exclude or in

Assistant District Attorney Taulane.
who is prosecuting the case, asked that
the actions of young Anderson, on the
night of the shooting, be taken into con-
slderation. IT Is said that he entered the
saloon at 3Oth and Market streets earlier
in the evening and attempted to hold up
the place. Mr. Taulane attempted to show
that the prisoner was In the mood for
breaking the law. On the objection of
former Assistant District Attorney Gray,
counsel for the defense, judge Henry con-
sidered the matter, 1t gave no decision.
Detectives, lwho had talked with the
prisoner a short time after he was ar
rested, were placed on the witness stand,
and agreed that the young man had been
rather strange and uncertain in his speech
and actions. This was taken as further
indication that the defense is going to
base it's case on the plea that the alleged
murderer is feeble,minded.
This, it is said, will be used in con-
junction with the fact that the prisoner
is deaf, and had been drinking on the
night of the shooting.
Former Detective Isaacs testified that
the prisoner when brought before Robert
Cameron, then captain of detectives. de-
MED all knowledge of the shooting, and
then. with no reason at all, said:

And then:

Young Anderson then made a clucking
sound, according to Isaacs, and drew his
finger across his throat little byplay on
hanging
Some of the spectators smiled when
Isaacs told the court that he had reas-
sured Anderson with the remark that
hanging is no longer permitted in this
State.
The court will be in session all day to-
morrow, and 1t is expected the case will
be completed Monday.

Surab dashed across the ice. As he
neared the now larger hole, he felt the
ice that had been able to hold up the
boys lighter weight cracking and bend

hole he had gone through himself.
The creek varies between five and
seven feet in depth at this point. Surab

he was able to keep his Chin above water

son and slung him across the ice behind

yards and found himself sitting on the

sign of his father or Johnny Carpenter.
Then he began TO yell People We're hur-
rylng toward him; they had been skating
in a safer place up the creek.
Surab in cropping for the other boy,
had sunk knee-deep in the mud. His
heavy rubber boots had dragged him
down. His wildly waving arms disturbed
the water as II some great fish were
struggling just under the surface to get
off a hook Surabs boy ran toward the
hole. He did not know what to do to
help his father.
Without a plan he dived In after him
and sank Considering the size of the
opening the boy must have landed on his
father and the man probably spent his
last efforts i'm trying once more to throw
TO safety a boy, thinking, no doubt, that
he was trying, this time, to save the
Carpenter boy, and not knowing that it
was his son who was dying in his arms.
BY this time the skaters had arrived.
They had yelled 10 the boy not to go back
10 the hole in the ice. He probably did
not hear them. They formed line of
men and boys, all holding hands, and let
ting down the man on the end of the
line into the water. For half an hour
they continued vain efforts. Later the
three bodies were recovered.

BOMBS FOUND ON SHIP
WHICH LEFT THIS PORT
British Vessel Narrowly Es-
capes Destruction on Ar
rival at Valencia

Two dynamite bombs, filled with enough
explosive to have blown the ship to atoms
were found in the hold of the British
steamship Rosebank, at Valencia, Spain,
according to Il dispatch received from that
port today The bombs were found
hidden under the bunkers by a sailor. The
size of the caps led Captain Woodrow to
believe that the bombs were intended TO
explode by conclusion during the loading
of the ship the greater part of the cargo
being coal.
The ship cleared from Philadelphia on
January - with cargo of 5i9I tons of
Westmorcland coal. The total value of the
cargo was $l7Ol7. The crew was COM
posed of British sailors under Captain
Woodrow.
Whether the bombs were placed in the
hold of the ship while she was being load
cd in Philadelphia, or whether they were
hidden there when she docked at Valen-
cia is still a matter of conjecture. The
ship arrived at the latter port on Fcbru-
13. She will eventually unload her cargo
at English ports.

Report submitted by Secretary
Lansing in response to the Fall
resolution shows that total of
129 Americans lost their lives as
a result of the revolt in Mexico,

interest.
Official information of new re-
volts planned in Mexico submitted
to State Department. Felix Diaz
and Sonora Huerta, wife of the
late dictator, said to be behind the
latest movement.
