declared Mr.. Gillen with great en-

enough TO handle the finances and lay
a proper foundation for the financial

"YOu took Charles NJ. Schwab TO

contracts and pushed them, leaving
the accounting TO the proper division.

shipping board funds was described
by Mr.. Gillen as the basic trouble.
There was a complete breakdown, he
said, OF the accounting system. Among
the first acts Of Judge Payne, when
he became chairman, Mr.. Gillen said,
was 10 obtain from the secretary OF
the treasury the services Of AlOnzo
Tveedsle. whom he made treasurer
OF the Shipping Board. This was in
August, 1919.
Before Tweedale's time. Mr.. Gillen
said, the treasurer had been the only
issuer Of checks. often without sup
porting claim vouchers. lie testified
that among the conditions disclosed
by the new treasurer were the fol-
lowing:
There was no balance sheet showing
what funds the board possessed or in
what banks its funds were deposited.
There was no record in the hands
OF the board OF securities valued at
more than S240,000.OO0 which the
board held. These securities were
later found IN the vaults Of a trust
company in Philadelphia, where they
had been placed for safekeeping.
There was no record showing I'm de-
tail how S2OOO,0OO.OOO had been ex-
pended up TO that time
There was no record OF accounting

SHIPPING BOARD
LOSES BILLIONS
Nothing to Show How Sum
of 81, ,5O0,OOO,O 900 Was
Spent
SAY GAMBLERS
GOT CONTRACTS

NEW YORK, Nov. is.-The United
States shipping board in its program
has thrown away forever beyond re-
covery s2.OO0,OO0,0OO OF the s3,s5O,0OO.-
600 which has passed through its
hands. according TO testimony given
yesterday before the Walsh committee
by Martin j. Gillen. who was special
executive assistant to the chairman
or the shipping board under the ad-
ministration Of John Barton Payne and
for a time after Admiral William 5.
Benson became chairman.
The estimate OF S200O00OOO which
Mr.. Ginen placed upon the cost OF
amortization represents money that is
gone not only as a result OF the natu-
raj depreciation OF tonnage values but
because OF losses in settlements with
Norwegian and Japanese ship gamb-
lers and in material, estimated at $780,
100000 worth. which is lost without
a trace somewhere in the hands Of
contractors.
Mr.. Gillen told the committee that
the shipping board vessels not only
are not making a profit for the govern
ment today, but that on account OF the
drOp in freight rates they are not
even making depreciation and interest
upon the ships themselves. The ship
ping board is operating between 1900
and 400 ships. and in Mr.. Gillen's
opinion other losses are bound 10
come even now In addition TO the
s2.000.O00 600 which already has been
wiped out
The three members OF the commit
tee who were present-Representative
Walsh, OF Massachusetts, Henry j.
Steele OF Pennsylvania, and Patrick
S. Kelly. OF Michigan-sat astounded
as Mr.. Gillen told them the facts for
which they have been cropping for the
last week. They heard OF losses not
OF few thousand or even millions
but OF hundreds Of millions and of
billions OF dollars. Mr.. Gillen, who
was accompanied by his secretary
supported his testimony with an enor-
nous mass Of figures taken from Re
ports. accounts and other documents

CITY OFFICES
FOR Z WOMEN
Mayor Dorsey win Name
Them to Park Board and
Playground Commission.

That women will play an important
part in the future government of this
city was manifested today. whom
Mayor Frank Dorsey made 1t known
that he will appoint women to fill
vacancies on the Play Ground Com
mission and Park Board. The
vacancies on these two boards ,oc-
CURED some months ago and Mayor
Dorsey said today the reason the ap-
pointments had not been made before
was that he felt that in the near
future women would be given the
right of suffrage and this would make
1t possible to appoint women to these
boards. The vacancy on the Park
Board occurred in April. when the
term of DIR. John v. Smith expired.
In relating to the filling of these
vacancies Mayor Dorsey said:
81 am going to appoint women
as soon as I can secure the names
and consent of capable women to fill
the vacancies.
"The woman who fills the vacancy
on the park board must reside in
the northern section of the city for
the reason that the city has a large
investment in park property. located
in this section and which Is now un-
developed. She will be in position to
see that this particular property re-
ceives its just share of considera-
tion."
1t is likely that the appointments
will be made In the immediate
future.

EXAMINES OIL
FOUND IN CITY
Expert Says That There is a
Rich Vein of Oil in New
Jersey.

An oil expert has been brought to
this city to investigate the finding
of crude oil in the cellar of the
Hartmann Hotel in Front street yes
terday by laborers who were en-
ployed to do some digging. The
expert after an examination of the
spot from which the oil oozed up
out of the ground gave his opinion
that under New Jersey there is a
rich vein OF oil, but at the several
places where it has made known its
presence by ooZing up to the SUR
face it is not in large enough guam
titles to warrant extensive opera
tions. However, he claims that
sometime someone will find the real
vein. at which time this state will
establish a new industry.
1t has been learned that a pipe
will be sunk into the spot in the
Hartmann Hotel cellar from which
the oil is oozing and a pump at
tached TO it in order to ascertain
just what conditions as far as the
oil flow is concerned exist.

FLYNN SURE Of
GETTING REDS
With Many Clues to Work on,
Chief is Sure He viii Make
Arrests Soon.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s-Confident
that the American anarchist fight
ers," who are believed now to have
caused the bomb explosion in Wall
street Thursday. would be brought
to justice. was claimed today by VIII
liam ]. Flynn. Chief Flynn. who
has charge of the federal investiga-
ton under the personal supervision
of Attorney General Palmer said
he was certain from the similarity
of circulars found in a ilail nox near
Wall street at the time of the explo-
sion to those found at the Gene Of
TIE bomb explosions in June. 1919,
that the same crowd of terroris.s
was responsible for both outrages.
I'VE had solved the mystery of
last years bombs, but were frus-
trated in bringing the criminals 10
justice when Alfredo Falesedo.
whom we were holding IN the New
York office of the bureau jumped
from fourteenth story window and
committed suicide said Flynn.
That tipped our hand and the
crowd got safely cut OF the country
before we could nab them
Now in this case We have much
more TO work upon at the start. The
similarity of the circulars makes
available all our knowledge of the
gang who committed the outrages
last year. Most of this Information
has never been made public aud It
would not he wise to reveal Il now.
We even established the indeatIty Of
ore anarchist who was killed b. his
own bomb in last years explosion
with much less evidence than we
have q >sOe present case.
Torn bits Of pink paper were the
cnly evidence We had last year. Now
we have whole circulars dropped in
to a mail box presumably by the
man who set of the bomb. half an
hour after a letter carrier had
emptied the box. In addition there
are the horse and broken bits of the
wagon on which the bomb was plac-
ed"
Capt. John Coughl;n acting in
spector in charge of the bureau OF
detectives said the horse which drew
the death wagon" had been newly
shod on his hind feet. The shoes
bore a union mark of the Horse
shoers Internal tional Union. The 500
members of the New York local are
being examined.
Captain Coughlin said. he had net
established the identity of the wagon
or its owner.
Police officials also declined to
make known their plans concerning
Fischer. l. is believed however that
he will be extradited and brought
here.
Flynn, who yesterday declined to
expand his cryptic announcement;
that the driver of the death wagon
was four blocks away AZ the time
of the explosion, today shed more
light on this mystery when he said
he was convinced the driver was the
same man who deposited the
anarchist circulars in the mailbox
which was located four blocks from
Wall and Broad streets.

PROBE STRANGE
ACCIDENT HERE
Charles vastan Found Under
Hall Avenue Bridge, Badly
Injured; Foul Play, Claim

The local police and Central Rail-
road investigators are today round
ing up information in an effort to
learn how Charles vastan, twenty
six years old of 331 Chapman ave-
nue. received his injuries on the Cen
trail Railroad under the Hall ave-
nue. bridge last night. Vastan was
found under the bridge between the
tracks at 11:40 o'clock last night,
when taken to the city hospital his
right arm had to be amputated.
Two fingers on his left hand were
cut off. and lacerations about the
head were his other injuries. At the
city hospital this morning II was
stated that the man reported being
thrown off a train.
Patrolman Steve Grega was noti-
fed by a passerby who seen the
body and he Immediately called for
the ambulance to have the body
taken to the hospital.
Boy Shaken Up
Tony Weekly. ten years old, OF
313 Clifford street. was badly shaken
up when struck by the automobile
of w. E. Hill, of New York, on
Smith street, near Goodwin street.
late yesterday afternoon. The boy
was taken to DIR. Lund's ONCE and
then to his home.
Police Ambulance Not Working
The police department was forced
to secure the services of the City
Hospital ambulance last night to
take Charles Vastan TO that institu-
ton because of the fact that the
police patrol and ambulance is not
in running order. 1t is likely that
Chief Burke will secure the loan of
the Red Cross ambulance until
their own patrol is repaired. be-
cause the Red Cross machine is not
being used very often at present.
