McAdoo had come to him on another
matter and he thought McAdoo was a
good man to employ to look after the
company's interests in Washington be-
cause of the hostile attitude of the
Government toward the company.
Carse testified that Malcolm McAdoo
went to Washington and returned after
few days. Then he testified Malcolm
McAdoo told him he had seen his
brother Carse said Malcolm told him
that Secretary McAdoo had taken up
the matter with the President and the
Cabinet, and they did not see any i'm

offer
Elihu B. Frost, the plaintiff in the
action, testified that in 1908 the Naval
Appropriation Committee of the House
of Representatives, had under consid-
Grafton an item for submarines. A
high navy official read letter received
by him from Admiral Won Tirpitz, Frost
said, in which Won Tirpitz declared
the submarine a toy. The committee
threw out the item for submarines.
Since the German submarines were
turned over to the Allies, it has be-
come evident that the Germans had
better submarines than the Allies, ac-
cording to Frost.

Chasing Man
Encounter on Stairway Is
Prelude TO Running Fight
in Six Harlem Streets:
Truckman Is Arrested

mysterious encounter on a Harlem
stairway yesterday afternoon served
as prelude to shooting affray that
ranged over half dozen blocks and
IN the end sent five mcV to the hos
pltal. Eugene Breen, a former soldier,
"a years old, who was the first man
attacked, and Nicholas O'Rourkc. a
driver, who joined the chase for a
young gunman, were wounded badly.
Girolemo Gesso, a truckman. 25. ac-
cused as Breens assailant, is in Relle-
vue, badly beaten. Only the intervcn-
ton of police reserves from the West
123d and 125th street stations. it is
said, prevented an infuriatcd crowd
from attempting to lynch the youth
after he had been captured at the cor
ner of Broadway and 732d street.
Gesso, questioned by the police last
night, refused to throw any light on
the affair.
The trouble is believed to have
started when Joseph Sweeter, Camn
Merritt cook whose seven davs' leave
was up yesterday, met Gesso on tho
stairway Of 81 West l3oth street
After an alteration Swoeter returned
to the apartment Of Mrs. Jessie Cav
nor, who says she is the Camp Merritt
boys aunt, and said he feared to go to
the subway station alone. Mrs. Cav
nor and friend, Eugene Brecn, whose
address is given as 573 West 13Oth
street, accordingly accompanied him.
AS they were returning to the 13Oth
Street house, Gesso, according to Mrs.
Gaynor, stepped out Of a doorway and
shot Brcen. Other people say Breen
and Gesso got into an argument "about
girl on a street corner. Gesso fled
up Amsterdam Avenue.

Part of q
Conversation
With Henry
Ward Beecher
A. T. STEWART 1923

~ LLH HeuFy
Ward Beecher
adding to question printed
yesterday:
QUESTION: What plan
would you recommend to
young man for preserving the
results of his reading? Have
you yourself pursued any
method to develop the power
of retaining the subject matter
YOU read-which is very i'm
portant thing? Have you any
plan for marking books, jour
nalizing, or copying the pith of
what you read?''
MIR. BEECHER'S ANSWER:
"No, but I think Common
place Book a very good thing,
indeed. | would advise every
young man to get into TIE habit
of keeping something Of that
sort. The great point is to read
nothing without reflection. DR..
Macauly, who used to preach in
New York, told me that when
he was boy at college he began
to read enthusiastically, but
that, at the foot of every page,
he stopped and obliged himself
to give an account Of what he
had read on that page. At
first, he had to read it three or
four times before he got his
mind firmly fixed. But he rig
orously compelled himself to
conform to the process. until
now, he said, after he read a
book through once, he could
almost recite it from the begin
ming to the end.
"It is a very simple habit to
form early in life and is invalu-
able in acquiring accuracy and
thorough knowledge of the ma
terial with which man has to
deal"
Success in ones life work
often turns on small and sim
pie things. Two little incidents
in the life of the writer, when
boy, created the foundations
for this business.
II Mr. Beecher'S conversation
here given is useful to any one.
we shall be glad.

BRIGHT CoLoRS GIVE RELIEF
Simple Method by Which Desk Work
ere May Avoid lncaleulable
Injury 10 the. Eyes

The constant use Of the eyes on
white paper will in time weaken them
and make 1t necessary to seek other
employment, or resort TO some remedy.
Bookkeepers. proofreaders and those
compelled to gaze for hours at q
stretch on q white surface, should
have q number Of bright colors on
their desk or near at hand upon
which the gaze should be allowed to
rest at short periods when the mind
Is busy with some mental struggle.
The bright colors will give a relief
to the long, constant strain on the
eye, and II will be astonishing to
those who have never resorted to any
such remedy to note the relief Sc
cured.
Green should predominant. Yellow
and red with shades Of pink should be
used.
Bright-colored blotters and bright
tinted notices or picture cards with
birds and flowers as well as scroll
designs will produce the most relief

prints that will not fade for a long
time.
