SLEUTHS ON THE JOB

Attracted by the $5,00O reward of fered, mystery of the case or retained by manufacturing interests and indi- vidual property owners, many anna teur and professional detectives from throughout the East are f1ocking to the city in an attempt to round up the ''irebug," or bugs" responsible for recent reign of incendiarism Representatives of some of the best known agencies in the country, ex- perts in this line of work are at work on the case, it became known today. That one person, maniac with all the cunning of the mentally unbalanced. is responsible is the theory of one of the experts. As far as can be learned, the authorities are as far from soly- ing the mystery and making an arrest as they were Saturday. It is acknow- leged that there. are a number of clues but all have, apparently, run up against a stone wall.
 Wild rumors and indications that many have ragged" nerves still are prominent in police circles. Three men, seen acting suspiciously about the Smalley school this noon, were sought by the police but had disap- peared when the patrol arrived on the scene. Miss Grace M. Coholan, prin- cipal of the school, telephoned to headquarters relative to the men.
 Police vigilance has been relaxed in no way and Chief William J. Rawl- ings will have an extra force on in- definitely. Supernumeraries will be used freely.
 Today there was we'll developed rumor afloat that an attempt had been made to blow up the gas plant and that three men of foreign birth had been caught near the scene. The police report that they know nothing of it and officials at the gas plant make like report.

you will authorize me to supply our merchant ships with defensive arms should that become necessary, and with the means of using them and to employ any other instrumental alities or methods that may be necessary and adequate to protect our ships and our people in their legitimate and general pusuits on the seas. I re- quest also that you will grant me at the same time, along with the powers I ask, a sufficient credit to enable me to provide adequate means of protec- tion where they are lacking, includ- ing adequate insurance against the present war risks.
 "I have spoken of our commerce and of the legitimate errands of our people on the seas, but you will not be misled as to my main thought the thought that lies beneath these phrases and gives them dignity and weight. It is not of material inter- est merely that we are thinking. It Is rather, of fundamental human nights, chief of all, the right of life Itself. l am thinking not only of the rights of Americans to go and come about their proper business by way of the sea, but also of something else deeper, much more fundamental than that.
 am thinking of those rights of Humanity without which there is no Civilization. My theme is of those great principles of compassion and of protection which mankind has sought to throw about human lives the lives of non-c n-combatants, the lives of the men who are peacefully at work com peting in the industrial processes of the world. the lives of women and children and of those who supply the labor which ministers to their sus- tenance

A sensation was caused in Washing ton by the revelation of Rear Admiral Robert s. Griffin, engineer in chief of the navy, that the plans for the new battle cruisers have reached foreign governments.
 Rear Admiral Griffin in making his charges sets the responsibility directly at the door of some of the engineers and shipbuilders who were prospec- tive bidders on the battle craft and who received the navy departments plans under the seal of confidence.
 Hardly had the plans been out, be- fore the department learned certain foreign governments were in posses sion of them, it is alleged.
