We don't get our moneys worth
now said the admiral. He added that
his much discussed resignation as chief
aide to Secretary Daniels was brought
about because he thought some othe-
officer might have more influence with
the secretary in effecting recognition Of
the needs Of getting the navy in a state
Of preparedness.
Turning to the condition Of the navy
during his service as aide for opera

Analysis of Ashes of Mrs. Peck

New York. March E.-Virulent disease
germs were purchased by DR.. Arthur
Warren Waite. under arrest here on the
charge Of poisoning his millionaire father

,rict Attorney Edward Swami said he OBJ
tanned today.

c!aring he was physician and was ex-
perimenting on cats. Peck died March l.
and his wife six weeks earlier. both at
Waite's home here.

chased arsenic. he told the district attor-

shared studio with Waite at a hotel
here, gave further evidence regarding the
dentists interest in germs. Mrs Horton

Der as the clerk who sold them.
Mr.. Waite told her. she informed Mr..
Swami. that he was much interested in
