NEW TRAILS STRUCK
IN Us. PLOT INQUIRY
-Rumor Has It Important Pa
pers in Rintelen-B Buchanan
Case Are Missing.
HINT MANN ACT, CHARGE
Officials Refuse to Say II Lost
Documents Are Grand
Jury Minutes.
HINT MANN ACT, CHARGE

In their continued inquiry into the ac-
tivities Of Franz Rintelcn. Congressman
Frank Buchanan and the other defend
ants indicted with them for pro-German
plotting. the Federal authorities. It ID
understood, have struck two new trails.
One Of these. II wa persistently rumorcd
yesterday, led back to the Federal Build
ing and concerned the alleged disappear.
ance of important paper.
The nature Of the papers said to be
missing Is something OF . mystery. al
though ono report had It that they were
the minutes OF the Federal Grand Jury
in the Buchanan case. Neither United
States Attorney II. Snowden Marshall
nor his assistant. Raymond H. Sarfaty.
could be induced to discuss this phase
Of tho case. even to the extent Of AZ
frmins or denying the story that the
papers were gone.
An Official OF the Department Of Jus
tlce was under the impression that the
documents had tt do with an old pass
port case and tn It they had been recov-
cred. This official. however. admitted
that he had not been following the case
closely. although he had supervised the
gathering OF evidence In the original
Rintelen investigation. On the other
hand. II was learned that q man for
merly connected with the Grand Jury's
stenographic bureau came to the Federal
Building last Saturday and was ex-
amined by tho Federal authorities.
Whether he papers were stolen OF
merely mislaid Is another matter Of con.
lecture. Mr.. Sarfaty said any state
ments made by him Mt his time might
result In a miscarriage OF Justice.
The Grand Jury's minutes in the Blu
chanan case figured conspicuousiy In the
Impeachment proceedings begun against
Mr.. Marshall by Congressman Buchanan
Mr.. Marshall refused to turn over the
minutes to the Congressional sub-com-
mittee which came here TO investigate the
impeachment charges. n the tense sit.
uation which resulted caused Mr.. Mar.
shall to write the letter to the sub-com.
mittee for which he was adjudged In
contempt.
In their renewed investigation into the
Rintelen-Buchanan case the Federal Al.
thorities are said to have uncovered sen.
satlonal evidence which has no bearing
on the neutrality case. II this evidence
Is pursued far enough. according to one
rumor. It may result in the preferment OF
a white slave charge against one Of the
defendants whose name has figured
prominently In connection with he az
fairs OF Labor's National Peace Council.
Before proceeding with such a prose
cution. however. 1t Is said the Govern
ment may have to walt for an affirma-
tive decision from the United States SUI
preme Court In the D!ges-Caminetti case,
which will determine whether the "com-
mercial element" plays any part In a
prosecution under the Mann act.

u. S. SHIPBUILDING
SETS NEW RECORD
Yards Have Capacity Orders
for Two Years, Naval Archi-
tects Are Told.

The shipbuilding boom IN this country
has never before been equalled, members
OF the Society OF Naval Architects and
Marine Engineers were told yesterday
by their new president. Stevenson Taylor,
at their annual meeting. All the ship
yards nave orders to capacity for the
next two years, he said. and Il will not
be until that time that tho worlds
shipping will have reached the tonnage
OF before tho war.
These years OF prosperity for the
American shipbuilder will remove all
doubt Of his ability to meet foreign
competition. Mr., Taylor said. provided
the new shipping board adopts the policy Of
creating an American merchant marine.
Before the war many OF the big ship
yards were In the hands of receivers or
undergoing reorganization. he pointed
out, but the war proved their opportunity
and they grasped II,
The average production Of the worlds
Shipyards from 1910 to 1914 was 2.74O,-
600 tons gross n year, OF which Great
Britain launched 1.65O,000 tons. Ger
many 100000. the United States ESQ, 900
and France $1,000 tons, said Mr.. Taylor.
In the year ended June 80. 1915, the
entire tonnage OF merchant vessels Of the
world amounted to 9,262. 900 tons. OF
this 5000. 900 have been destroyed, a.
900 900 commandeered and 4.t00.O 900 in
termed. leaving only b7.2 per cent. of the
normal tonnage. which he said readily
accounted for the present high freights
and the high values placed on old ves-
sells.
American shipyards now have under
contract 100000 OF steel and 10000
tons ~ wooden vessels to be completed
within two years, he said. O%ne-third OF
this tonnage. however. will fly foreign
flags. most Of 1t going to Norway.
Ny, Taylor closed by saying that II
the United states wishes to regain Its
once formidable place on the seas Il
must do II now.

School Composition - The
Story of a Pencil - By
Luella Wood

Dear Editor:-I am sending you one
of my school compositions. We were
allowed to choose our own subjects.
The story of a pencil.
Well I can remember the proudest
moment Of my life. 1t was when
was a bright new pencil. was about
six and one-half inches long, with a
tin head and rubber cap. was very
proud of my coat which was the red,
white and blue of our nations flag.
My very first home was a large fac
tory where I, with many other pencils
lived. I was a bit vain and thought
myself better than the others but then
every one has their faults.
Well, became tired of staying in
one place so long and. as I had row.
ing disposition, I longed for adven-
lures. People say wishes never come
true but, strange to say, this one did.
This is the way it came about. +
Jones and Smith owned the factory,
and one day Mr.. Smith received let
ter which seemed to please him be-
cause he read it to Mr.. Jones. 1t was
from some people in Boston, Mass,
who wanted large number of pencils.
was among the pencils which were
sent. We were packed in boxes and
rode in bunny freight train. A
green pencil was my companion and
she amused me by telling me stories
she had heard from other pencils.
At length we reached our destina-
ton. We were taken from the train
and placed upon the platform and soon
after loaded on dray. We were car
ried to store. I afterwards learned
it was a hook store, and unloaded.
That was in the morning and in the
afternoon we were unpacked. We
were then divided into sets and placed
in boxes , The box I was put in was
long and narrow with wild roses
painted on it and tied with a green
ribbon. In my box, was a penholder, a
pen point, a red rubber, a ruler, a
knife and four pencils, including my
self.
The next day a gentleman came in
to buy birthday present for his little
daughter. After looking around for
some time he decided to get the box
of school supplies I was in. l was
very glad and thus began some of the
most exciting adventures of my life.

her present and-but I'll have to tell

Leah Murphy Tells of Her
Great Grandmother's Trip
to Iowa in 1910

Dear Juniors: like to read the
stories In The Courier Junior. 7 have
never written one before, but thought
l would tell of my great grandmother S
trip to Iowa in 1910, the year she was
nineteen.
She left Halifax, Dauphin county,
Penn, May, 1910 and came across the
mountains to Harrisburg on train.
That was as far as the train went.
They had to be drawn to the top OF
the mountains, by large cable fasten-
ed to another train that was going
down and then they went down on the
other side and as they went down they
pulled the other train up.
From Harrisburg they went on a
canal boat to Pittsburg, Penn. where
they took a packet boat down the Ohio
river and up the Mississippi river to
Alexandria, Mo. ~.
There the wagon they had brought
was put together and team of oxen
was bought. She had never ridden on
an OK wagon and so said she would
walk from there to where they were
going. 1t was near Vernon, Van
Buren, county, Iowa. It was forty
miles and she walked in two days. bat
her dress was frayed out about a foot
from the bottom by the prairie grass
through which she had to walk.
The first night they stopped at d
cabin in the edge Of Missouri and she
asked the negro nanny if they could
have corn bread for supper. She
answered; "Lawd bless you honey, we
has dat all de time"
When they got to the end of theil
journey neighbor sent for them tc
come to their house to stay until Their
things could come on the canal boat
She ate her first meal in Iowa al
this house and had corn bread, fat
meat, wild onions and sage tea witt
out sugar or cream.
This shows what our ancestors hac
to do without and what hard time
they had when they first came to {
new country.
