Mysterious Magnate

The mysterious millionaire Dan O'Neil has been talking about has not yet appeared to put his bankroll at the service of the Lynn club of the Eastern league. It is called the Lynn club, although the franchise probably won't be operated there. There must be something in the story for Dan O'Neil has engaged Jack Flynn te manage the new club.
 The Massachusetts writers appear to think the franchise will be changed to Lawrence. Flynn will have the Lynn players not already sold and as he is capable manager it is certain he will gather a strong club. The reason why Flynn quit Springfield is not yet clear, but it is probable he had some trouble with Owner Carey about the amour. of salary to be given him if he kept the club in the race last season. It is said Lawrence fans will turn out in good numbers for a win- ner and perhaps Flynn will arouse the enthusiasm that others failed to pro- duce last year.

Bond Buying will
not Retard Business

All financial observers are a.
greed that the people are saving
money to invest in the new bonds
when they are issued, and that
this accounts in "A large measure
for the economies which are beink
dcrled III some quarters. There
is no doubt that this boarded
money, when it has once beer
put into bonds, will be as bread
cast upon the waters. For tht,
money which these bonds will
produce will at once go into in
dustry and into agriculture IN
search of supplies for our oa.>'
armies and those OF our allies.
In these channels there will be a
wide stimulation Of production,
with consequent distribution OF
money in wages and profits, SO
that in the end there will be the
enhanced business in all quarters
which is demanded.

REBELS IN RAID
USE THE TORCH
CUBAN REBEL BANDS WHO
THREATEN MASSACRE.
Refugees from Oriente Province Tell
Terrible Stories of Devastation
Wreaked by Negro Bandits
in Reign of Terror.

New York.-Charges that Cuban
rebels are burning and pillaging the
homes and properties of Americans
nnd other foreigners in the districts
of Palmarito, Bayate and Miranda,
Oriente province, were made by twen-
ty-four American and British refugees
who arrived here May 6. They pre-
dicted that there will be a massacre
of the white residents remaining unless
the United States intervenes, and as
serted that the Cuban government is
powerless to cope with the situation.
Most of the refugees escaped with only
the clothes they wore.
The accusations were substantiated
by an appeal for aid signed by 116
Americans remaining in the territory
occupied by the rebels. The appeal,
the refugees said will be forwarded
to the state department at Washington.
The threat of a massacre is con-
tanned in Il statement included in the
appeal, alleged to have been written
by Gen. Bias Maso The statement
Maso is reputed to have made said:
"You will holler loudest and we will
destroy until your hollering will be
heard in Washington and force Amer
lean Intervention. For the time being
we will not fight the government troops
and we will not kill you unless you
oppose us. We are only fighting now
with the torch, terrorizing and organiz-
ing.

A measure that will go far to-
ward discouraging the food spec

venting the boarding of many

Rep. c. William Ramseyer Of
Iowa. Thy bill prohibits the
storing of any articles "pertain,

pose OF affecting the market price

public. Instead of providing the
usual fine for a violation, which
ordinarily has no terrors for the
rich offender, Congressman Ram

TO ANNlHlLATE SUBMARINES
AND FREE THE SEAS.
Discovery Meets All Navy Tests and
is Practical Solution of Problem,
According to- Chairman OF
Naval Advisory Board.

New York-American inventors
ing announced that, after months of
study and practical work, plans have
been perfected that will lead to the
humiliation of German submarines
and the freeing of the seas of the u
boat terror.
program to stop the ravages OF
German submarines on maritime COM
merce has been submitted to the gov
ernment by the naval advisory board.
This was announced on May $ by w.
l.. Saunders, chairman of the board.
He said the plan, in his opinion, was
a practical solution of the U-boat prob
EN-. He said it was not purely theoret-
ical, but that it had been proved by
actual tests along the Atlantic coast.
The scheme is not merely defen-
sive measure against the submarine.
Mr.. Saunders said ut called for of
fensiye operations on an extensive
scale"
Thomas A. Edison, who is president
of the board, did not originate the
scheme, Mr. Saunders said. But the
inventive wizard, he said, had been
working tirelessly to perfect its many
phases. Since declaration of wal
against Germany Mr.. Edison and his
assistants have been trying thousands
of schemes suggested to block Ger
many's undersea warfare, now admit
tedly the greatest menace to the Euro
pean allies and their new American
partner. the United States.
Behind the program submitted t.
the navy department is all of the Edl
sonian practicability and all of Edi
sons definite skill in accomplishin;
the seemingly impossible. Announce
ment of the scheme by the Chairman
of the board dlspelled doubts that
might be merely another academic 1de
devoid of practical use. And that IN
board made experiments before max
ing their find public, left little doub
in the minds of the navy officials tha
ut last the wars greatest problem ha
been unraveled.
If the plan works, as few doubt /
will, American brains will have dom
what European cannons and bullet
have failed to do in three years o
warfare.
No announcement was made OF tn
details of the scheme.
Mr. Saunders explained that an
nouncement of 1t had been made a
this time to allay the fears of Ameri
cans aroused by recent expressions b.
American and British officials that tn
U-boat snake was beginning to crus
the limbs of traffic between the Unite
States and its European allies.
Fifteen subcommittees of the boar
have been concentrating their effort
On the U-boat problem, which now ha
been solved to the satisfaction of tn
boards head.
Mr.. Saunders took pains to dispe
any suggestions that he was theoretica
in his findings.
"One part of the scheme involve
destruction of submarines the othe
involves destruction on land, he ea
planned.
