ANOTHER MYSTERY
 FOR MANHATTAN
"Mugiord" in Same Glass With
 "Man from Egypt"

New York, June 29.-"Mugford" was added to the list of myths along with The Man from Egypt" and the Little Black Man" yesZerday by O. B. Phillips of the Seymour law office in the John Doe hearing before Chief Magistrate McAdoo, the purpose of which is to discover the identity of the person in the bank of J. P. Mor- gan & Co.,, who gave out for sale se- crets of munition contracts with the Allies.
 MT. Phillips was as indefinite in his identification of "Mugford" as was Dr. Waite in his personification of his Egyptian shade. He had never seen Mug" didn't know his given name, had never heard him described, knew nothing about him except that he was in for a split of the war contract profits and bonuses. But "Mugford' is no more elusive than the man through whom Morgan condolences leaked and the financial district now has two mysteries instead of one on which to speculate.
 Most of the testimony at the hear ing centered around the activities of the occupants of the office of Seymour & Seymour of 120 Broadway. Two of these men, Phillips and Gahier De

Witt, took the stand, but failed to re- veal the source of the information which enabled them to keep muni- ton manufacturers posted as to the exact state of affairs in the Morgan office. Under cross examination by Francis L. Wellman, who appeared for the Morgan office, Phillips admit ted that an agreement existed where by Frederick Seymour was to have one-fifth of the commission on nuni- tion contract put through by his as- sociates.
 Wellman examined Phillips rigidly as to the grapevine letter" of Feb. 4 last, which he was alleged to have sent to the Humboldt Fibre company, offering to get 1t a contract for cot ton linters with the Morgan firm on the payment of a total commission of about $25,000. Phillips admitted that the signature on the letter looked like his, but he denied that he die tated the letter to De Witt, as the latter testified before the Thompson Investigating Committee. De Witt, In fact repeated this tatement on the stand yesterday.
 Before Phillips testified a bit of mystery was introduced into the pro- ceeding by G. s. Sofio, who said he was a commission agent for the Hum bOldt concern, and in such a capacity had made an arrangement with Mor- ton B. Sutzer, one of the Seymour associates, to divide the commission on the Morgan contract equally. Cn- der the original agreement the com mission was to be one-eighth of one cent on each pound of cotton linters. Subsequently, according to his testi- mony, Sultzer asked him to reduce the commission to one-siXteenth of a cent on the pound, because he, Suit zer had to take into consideration another man who was also entitled 70 a rake off Sofio said he under

VETERANS OF CO.,.
 TO HELP SOLDIERS
Committees Are Named to Start
 Relief Work Immediately

Members of the Veteran corps of Company I, First regiment, c. N. G., upwards of fifty strong, held an en- thusiastic meeting at the Arch street armory last evening at which they made plans for raising money for the members of both Companies E and 1, now at the front, and also for assist ing their families at home. They likewise passed a resolution rendering their hearty cooperation to the mayor, the common council and other organization which are planning to do anything for the local soldiers. Be- fore the meeting adjourned a sum was donated and a quantity of tobacco purchased which was sent to Mantle today for the use of the local soldiers who have been left there.
 Committee Is Named.
 Captain Samuel Magson presided at last nights meeting and Erastus F. Schmidt, former captain of Company I. was secretary. It was voted to ap- point a committee of seven to raise money for the soldiers and to help the families of the absent men where needed. The committee was named as follows: Frank H. Johnston, pres ident; John Recor, clerk; A. c. Ander- son, L. D. Butler H. J. Bowen, c. E. Carlson and Captain Magson.
 To Get New Members.
 There are about 300 veterans of Company I in this city, and member ship campaign will be instituted at once At present there are sixty mem- bers enrolled and fifteen applications have been received. The committee to secure the membership of all the vet erans before the mastering roll is closed on August IS, consists of HOr- ace w. Eddy, w. B. Montague, F. H. Johnston and Samuel Magson. Mem bers of this veteran corps feel that they are really the official representa- tives of the soldiers inasmuch as they were formerly members of the com pany and are familiar with their mili- tary duties. It was distinctly stated last evening that the action taken to help the soldiers and their dependents was not to be confined to Company I. As Company E has no veteran corps, the members of this company will share any benefits.
 To Meet With General Cole.
 Captains GriswOld, Dyson and Schmidt were appointed a committee to interview Adjutant General Cole in reference to securing the use of the local armory for military drilling, for social, dances or other entertainments by which money may be raised to help the soldiers. CaDtain GrisWOld, who was called to Mantle today to assist in drilling the ''rookies,' will take the matter up personally with General Cole and will report back at his earliest convenience. He will also consult General Cole in reference to the organization of a citizens rifle club in this city, and will see what the government can do regarding the loan ing of rifles for their use.
 H. w. Eddy is treasurer of the corps.

WOULD BUILD WATER FRONT.
Engineer Has Plan to Fill Up East
 River at New York;

One of the most startling projects ever conceived for the relief of the harbor congestion in New York has been proposed by one of New York's most prominent consulting engineers, Dr. T. Kennard Thomson In the Jan uary Popular Science Monthly appears d vivid description by Dr. Thomson of the steps he hopes to take in order to make his plan d reality.
 in brief. he plans to reclaim fifty square miles of land from New York bay. to add hundred miles of new water front for docks, to fill in the East river and 10 prepare New York for a population of 20,O000O0. This work iS to be done by building colfer- dams, and after pumping out the wa ter, laying the subway tubes, gas, eec- tric and telephone conduits he will fill in the inclosed space. This, he claims, will be a very inexpensive method of construction since it would not entail the costly tunneling to build the sub way after the construction had been completed. Dr. Thomson believes that through taxes and additional business which would come to New York this project, while it's original cost would be greater than that of the Panama canal. would surely and quickly pay for itself.
