boy in irons because the milk he
served for breakfast one morning was
sour.
Coming to the death Of Hansen on
the morning of August 6, the witness
said:
"When I took command Hansen, who
had been at the wheel, was told to go
aloft and take in the royal sail. He
went to the rigging, and when he came
down I called to him and asked him
a question. He made no reply, but
saw he had a funny look in his face.
He turned and started to walk away.
when he got short distance he
started to run, and I shouted Where
are you going' He reached the star
board rail and ducked under the life
line and leaped into the sea. Reilly
ran after Hansen with me. / saw Han
sen float or swim by the ship. l ran
aft and ordered Jack Joe, the helms
man, to put the wheel hard over.
then ran into the cabin and called the
master.
He put on a pair of slippers and
pants and came on deck. Hansen had
disappointed by this time, and the mas
ter sent Campbell, a sailor. aloft to
see if he could see Hansen in the
water, and ordered the ship back on
it's course, as squal was sweeping
down and the vessel was threatened
Campbell reported that he could not
see Hansen"

by the action now taken, however,
the wire companies resume actual con-
property and are free to formulate and
put into effect their own policies un-
restricted by government control,
which is to continue in any case but
a few weeks, and thus will be able to
prepare themselves for complete re-
sumption of the management of their
property. 1t will be necessary for each
company to so keep its accounts dur

Huge Deficit Revealed
A few hours before the wires were
returned by the Postmaster General,
j. c. Koons, chairman Of the Wire
Control Board, revealed to the House
Interstate and Foreign Commerce Com
mittee that there would be a huge de-
flcit as a result of government opera
tion of the communication systems.
Apparently he was unaware of the
Postmaster Generals intention, for
he said he believed the best time for
the return of the wires would be June
80.
Mr.. Koons took up in some detail
the dispute between the Postal Tee-
graph Company and the government. He
read a number of letters he said had
been sent by Edward Reynolds, former
general manager Of the Postal, to the
Washington manager of the service
urging that so far as possible he
avoid taking government business.
Says Business Is Avoided
Facts that have come to us in con
nection with the action of the Postal
Telegraph Company in lodging govern
ment business at this crucial period
justified our taking over these proper
ties Mr.. Koons added
Had other companies assumed the
same attitude the government woulC
have been strangled in the conduct
of the war. Government business is
handled at Al per cent of the CONNER
clal rate. In peace times it is not
large in volume, but in war times
this business is tremendous. The rates
are low because Of concessions granted
the companies by the government. Ii
has been the same for years. The pol
icy of the government is to divide the
business between the two companies
But the Postal did everything posi-
bic to shunt their share over to the
Western Union. Investigation show:
that the Western Union carried twelve

of Washington than the Postal"

Judge Hough Declares He
Will Not Let First Degree
Conviction Stand Against
Accused Ship Officers
Pedersen Begins Defence
Young Mate Says Grew Was
Mutinous From Start of
Voyage; Gave Water Cure

The prosecution in the trial for al
legged murder on the high seas of Cap
tain Adolph C. Pedersen and his son,
Adolph Eric Pedersen, charged with
causing the death of Axel Hansen, a
seaman, rested yesterday. Dudley
Field Malone, counsel for the accused
indictments on the ground that the
court had not established Jurisdiction
In refusing this request Judge Hough
added that if the jury brought in YER
dict of guilty of murder in the first
degree against either of the defend
ants he would set that verdict aside on
the ground that no premeditation had
been established by the government
witnesses.
Then followed the most dramatic mo-
ment in the remarkable trial. which is
being watched by nautical and mari
time bodies from all parts of the world.
Adoph Eric Pedersen, the eighteen
year-old second mate of the America n
barkentine Puaka. was called to the
witness stand in his own defence.
Young Sailor Breaks Down
At the very outset the pallid smooth
faced youth broke down. For three
full minutes tears ran unchecked down
his face, while his shoulders shook
with emotion. This paroxysm was
started when Mr.. Malone asked him
if his mother was still living
Recovering from this outburst the
youthful second officer started his mar
rative of the Puaka' s voyage from Vic
toria, B. c., to Cape Town, South Afri-
ca, during which two men jumped over
board and were drowned. The remain
der of his testimony was delivered in
clear and incisive tones
The unfolding Of his story under the
questioning of Mr. Malone developed
the argument on which the defence will
build its case. His evidence showed that
Hansen was left to drown in the sea
because weather conditions were such
that in attempting a rescue the ship
would have been placed in danger. anc
that it was impossible TO launch a boat
