Joseph Gleason, of Boston, survivor made deposition to the American consul at Queenstown to the effect that he and 21 other members of the crew were set adrift in a waterlOgged life boat and drifted for several hours in heavy seas that threatened to send their boat to the bottom at any moment. Furthermore, the ev
 idence indicates that at the time the persons aboard the ship were forced to abandon the ship she was more than a hundred miles from shore.
 Germany agreed with the United States in correspondence relating to the sinking of the American William P. Frye, that opportunity reach a place of safety should be given the members of crew and passengers l that the distance from land and the i condition of the weather were to be taken into consideration.

MAKE BOMBS TO DESTROY SHIPS

I Crosse The containers made by him, he is reported to have asserted, were delivered to von Kleist at the chemical plant to be distributed to men who placed them aboard ships. It is be- lieved the bombs also were shipped to various parts of the United States, ire quently in suit cases as ordinary baggage.
 Captain Tunney declared funds for the manufacture of the bombs were supplied by a wealthy man whose identity he refused to divul2e. He said he was told details of the plot last Oc tober by ''Lieutenant' Robert Ray, al ready under indictment in connection with alleged plots against steamships. The failure of many of the bombs to explode greatly chagrinned the persons responsible for their manufacture and distribution, Tunney said Fay told him. This resulted in dissension, which aided the police in obtaining information, th< officer asserted.
 The bombs were composed of two shells, the outer of aluminium and the inner of zinc. The inner shell was filled with a strong acid, the police say which after seventy-two hours, would eat it's way through the zinc and ignite the powder or other ex plosives in the outer shell The re- sulting explosion, according to fire de partment experts, would have been of tremendous force and if two or more occurred simultaneously in vulnera- i ble part Of the steamship they would have blown out the side plates and caused the vessel to sink if at sea
 Since January, 1915, fires and eXplo- sions have occurred on more than a score of ships at this port under sus picious circumstances. Many of them were attributed to spontaneous icom bustion. The only explanation given by the police for the failure of the ex- plosives to cause greater destruction was that the chemicals used in loading the bombs were of an inferior quality.
 Because of the nature of the case l against them the specific charge against the four men under arrest is attempted arson.
 ''Non Kleist," said Captain Tunney tonight, told us that the New Jersey Agricultural and Chemical company was a German concern engaged in the manufacture of fertilizer. He said that fertilizer reached Germany indirectly through shipments to neutral countries, such as Holland, Norway and Sweden. He said the German government was able to separate the oil from the fer tliZer and use it, and that the British authorities had not detected the sub teTfuge"
 After the men arrested tonight had been under surveillance several hours the bureau of fire investigation was called into the case yesterday and Chief Thomas Brophy co-operated with the police and secret service operators in an investigation which lasted until tonight. Upon orders from Fire Com missioner Adamson, a mass of testi- mony which has been obtained will he delivered as soon as it is transcribed to District Attorney Swann and Police Commissioner Woods.

AMERICANS HAVE

Whitaker says the desert stretches
for 400 miles below the border, with
the desolate Sierra Madres running
through the middle of it.
Villa knows every spring and cave.
He could easily, Whitaker says, order
his men to scatter if hard pressed and
meet him again at soma rendezvous
miles away.
From the border to Villas home in
Guerrero is 1900 miles, and the bandit
chief could follow the mountains all
the way, in Whitaker's belief
