WASHINGTON, Nov 16.-Peniten-
tlary sentences for Annapolis cadets
who persist in hazing junior students
at the Naval Academy were suggested
to-day by Secretary of the Navy Dan
1els as an effective means of restoring
order among the upper classmen.

that he would authorize the dismissal

Secretary Daniels declared that he

Gets in Touch With Dean
Father Tells of Mysterious
Stranger and Phone Talk
With Son After His Visit

Morris Frankel, president of the Uni
versai transportation Company and the
United States Mercantile Marine Com
pany, at 26 Beaver Street, was in
formed by the dean of Brown Uni
versity at Providence, r. l., last night
that his son. Robert II. Frankel, six
teen years old, who had been missing
from the university since November l..
Rad been found and would be home
to-day
Young Frankel got in touch with the
dean it was said, when he read in the
papers that it was feared he had been
a victim of foul play. He said he had
been living at a Turkish bath, passing
his days attending motion picture
shows and had not been outside of
Providence The only reason he gave
for his absence was that he did not
like life at the college.
The father had an explanation Of his
own of the case. lie said he talked
with his son over the telephone at l
o'clock yesterday morning after the
mysterious visit of strange man to
his home, at 410 Riverside Drive, on
Monday night. His son told him then
that he was we'll and safe and would
return home yesterday.
Affair Mysterious, Father Says
'It was a mysterious affair, and is
not plain yet" said Mr.. Frankel last
night "a man called who said at first
that he was a railroad brakeman, and
then said he was an investigator. He
told me he had just come from Need
ham, Mass, and for 500, the expenses
of the trip, would put me in touch
with my son at l O'Clock yesterday
morning"
Mr.. Frankel said he had no faith in
the caller, who was shabbily dressed
and somewhat shifty of manner, but he
gave the $50 OF & chance Of finding his
son. The man left with the money and
the father said nothing to the police
At 1875 o'clock, he said, the phone
rang. A gruff voice asked il he wanted
to talk with his son. He said he did
and heard his son being called to ths
phone. When voice said, Hello, pop,
Mr.. Frankel declared he recognized his
sons voice.
81 can't tell you where I am" the
boy continued, in response to a ques.
ton from his father. But what dc
you want me to do? Do you want me
to go back to coilege?"
NO" the father said. "Come home.
His son then told him that he coulC
not start at once, but would take {
train at II o'clock this morning.

Deadliest of Battle Gases
Developed by U. S. Experts

week, except at meal times, without
any discomfort. Breathing was nor
NAL, speaking was simple and it turned
away absolutely all of the gases so far
known.
The principal developments thus far
are the mobile cloud-poson-gas and a
new form of sneezing gas which forced
the United States experts to strengthen
their own masks.
The new cloud gas is so arranged
that the units required for generating
food of destructive vapors are con-
fined in q solid state in small canisters
that can be carried by each soldier
without adding more than pound or
two to his load. During the war the
only method of setting loose a gas cloud
was to connect up a series of tanks.
each weighing in the neigh borhood of
200 pounds.
The operation now is for each man
to take from his pack at the propitious
meteorological moment his package of
gas, apply heat, and the poisonous va
pors roll away on the breezes into en-
envy territory. No other agent except
intense heat can release the gases, and
instead of a host of experts and days
of planning to make a gas attack a
success mere handful of officers
trained for the work can pick the time
| in miles of front line trenches to belch
forth the destruction.
Work at Edgewood Arsenal at the
present time, with two battalions OF
chemical warfare service troops sta
tened at the post. is being confined to
some extent to the arsenic gases in ar
effort to develop their penetration and
irritation. Experiments have indicated
even more startling discoveries. anC
there are tests being made at the Mary.
land camp and at Lakehurst, N. j., that
are preserved as national secrets.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-17

From The Tribunes Washington Burcou
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The devel-
cpment Of more powerful poisonous
gases than we're used in the late war,
with gas masks that will withstand the
fumes, is one Of the after the-armi-
stice accomplishments of the United
States chemical warfare service, CO.
operating with scientists of the Amer
lean Chemical Society.
Fool-proof and mobile cloud gas that
can be concentrated in units small
enough to be carried By every soldier
is the new discovery that has followed
the experimental work Of chemical ex-
perts.
An explanation Of the work being
done was obtained from Brigadier Gem
eral A. A. Fries, head of the chemical
warfare service, to-day following the
announcement from Premier Lloyd
George that England was continuing
poison gas research.
On the theory that the next war, il
there is one, will be characterized by
the use Of gas, the United States gov.
ernment is pursuing two studies-de.

Alleged Fraud in Bids

At Hearing To-day
Counsel Assails Board for
Attacking Committee /;
Backer Must Stand Trial

Samuel Cntermyer, counsel for the
Lockwood legislative committee on
Housing, in letter to the Mayor last
night attacked the independent inquiry
Of the Board Of Estimate into the $62,-
100000 worth of outstanding city con-
tracts as "whitewashing operation"
He informed the Mayor he would
again be called to the witness stand at
this mornings session of the commit
tee and questioned as to his sincerity,
together with that of Corporation Coun-
sel O'Brien, in desiring the aid Of the
committee ain a real investigation"
He protested against the action of
the Corporation Counsel in turning 8
meeting of the board following it's con-
ference with the Lockwood body on
Monday into an attack on the commit
tee and belittling of it's work.
Urges Delay by City
In support of his stand against Il
side investigation Of city departments
by the board at this time, he said he
had explained that while the Lock
wood committee could not afford to
go into special investigation Of city
contracts, evidence developing in this
connection from time to time would
be turned over to the city authorities
for action.
This, he pointed out, would render
separate investigation of the con-
fn I>o
tie referred to the plan he had out
lined to safeguard the city and con-
tractors in the meanwhile, and added
that he left the conference with the
understanding that the board would
consider the question Of awaiting the
devel elopments Of the Lockwood COM
nittee's Investigation.
MH Untermyer's letter came on the
heels of Judge Mulqueen's decision in
suring a continuance Of the commit
tees investigation. Judge Mulqueen
denied motion to dismiss the indict-
ment charging perjury against George
S. BacAcr, millionaire builder, in con-
nection with his testimony before the
legislative body.
Edmund L. Mooney, Backer's counsel
argued that the Lockwood committee G
had no power to question witnesses un-
der oath because the committees au-
thority expired with the adjournment
Of the Legislature. Judge Mulqueen
declared that there could be no ques-
tion of the Legislature's power to APP
point a committee with full authority
to act in the housing situation.
MIR. Untermyer's Letter
Mr.. Untermyer's letter to the Mayor
reads in part as follows:

ing my protest against what has beer
reported to me as the behavior of youl

Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Inc
LONDON, Nov. 16.-Eleutherios Ven
izelos, "the father Of modern Greece"
has been swept out of office, and in de-
feat plans to leave the country which
his diplomacy made great. George
Rhallis, the eighty-year-old former
Premier, whose bitter enmity for the
Entente Allies and pro-German lean
ings made him leader among the fol-
lowers Of ex-King Constantine, will
head the new ministry.
Further returns from Sundays cleo
tions show that the royalists were over
whelmingly victorious, having amassed
majority Of 1872 in the Parliament
which Venizeos had hoped to dominate.
The coup d'etat of the pro- -Constan-
tines was sensational and complete. No
possibility Of such defeat had been fore
shadowed in any reports reaching Lon
don. All advices here told of the ex-
pected Venizclist triumph.
The vote is interpreted i'll London as
more anti-Venizelist than pro-mon-
archie. 1t is suggested that Venizelos
was an idealist who drew upon him
self the hatred of his countrymen by
dictatorial methods and by his insist
ence upon the maintenance of martial
law. The British newspapers speak of
his defeat as a measure of the graft
tude of the country which became ter
ritorially great under his guidance
Constantine's Return Questioned
The defeat Of Vcnizelos does not nee
essarily forecast the return of Con-
stantinc to the throne, it is said.
Great Britain and France, planning in
concert their opposition to the de-
posed Kings restoration, are waiting
for some indication OF the former
monarch's intentions before defining
their policy. There is strong senti-
ment here ir favor Of offering the
throne again to Prince Paul. the young
est son Of Constantine, and belief is
expressed in some quarters that this
procedure may be followed. The op-
position leaders, ST meeting to-day
discussed whether they would recog-
nize the regency of Admiral Coun-
douriotis.

have brought much unrest among the
people. The Bourse has been closed
