SOMEBODY STOLE ! REAL D|NOSAURUS
Walked Away With Bones
 While the Professor !. Wasn't Looking
By Associated Press

Buenos Aires, April S.-"Who stole the great Patagonian dinosaurus?" This is question the newspapers are asking. and it is also a question which Dr. Carlos Ameghino, director of the Buenos Aires Museum of Natural History, would like to have answered.
 The dinosaurus, or rather it's skeleton, was not stolen from the museum, it should be explained but from the soil of Patagonia, near Neuquen, where, in a remarkable state of preservation, it was discovered by some English engineers g. year ago, during the excavation of an irrigation ditch. They notified Arthur Smith Woodward, naturalist of the Brit ish museum, of the ind who in turn communicated with Dr. Amehhino.
 From the description of the engineers, it appeared the diuosaurus was monster, even for dnosauri, and of a new species The museum lacking funds, Dr, Ameg- hino at his own expense sent an eXpedl- ton in charge of a young naturalist, Au- gusto Tapia, to bring the skeleton to Buenos Aires.
 'The English engineers" says Dr. Ameghino, Informed Tapa on his ar rival that while they were away on trip of exploration an unknown person had come to the place, collected all the fos- sils that had been unearthed, taken away those which interested him, including the found only simple pile Of bones belong ing to animals of various well known species The great skeleton of a new species was not there"
 The expedition cost Dr. Ameghino 1000 pesos.

of Money, Capt. Garden Claims

has been a saving of as much as
fifty per cent. on many items. Con-
ditions formerly were so bad that /
have even heard that in some Eases
food was thrown overheard in order
to create a shortage 50 that pur-
.chases could be made"
During the first four weeks of the
supervision provided by the new ar
.rangement 1t was officially estimated
that a saving for the shipping board,
which mean for the United States
government, of $4,000 for food
alone and $4,000 for repairs was
made. AS a result of this campaign
at least one arrest Is expected when
a certain ship arrives In New York.
There are twenty-three lines UNI
der the shipping board which have
vessels calling at ports in this Juris-
diction.
There are on an average twenty
two vessels on hand at all times.
The average cost for maintaining
these is from $500 to $4,000 each
per day. Before the war an Amerf-
can vessel on the River Plate was a
curiosity.
"Since the Shipping Board had no
Offices of its own to take charge OF
its vessels in ports throughout the

the care of its ships to established
agencies. Many OF these steamship
agents had already for years been

possibly competing lines. The result
has been that In many cases Amert-
can vessels have been held back
while other ships were given the
preference, causing the expenses of
American ships to mount up through
port charges and lost time.
I'm all River Plate ports. losses
from this source have been very great
as well as those through over
charges for supplies. repairs and so
forth. There is one case on record
where an American ship was held
up for months for repairs and
charges totaling about S300,000 were
piled up against her. But We are see
ing to it now that Shipping Board
vessels get into port and get away
again without unnecessary delay. The
saving to the Shipping Board from
this attention undoubtedly will be
several hundred thousand dollars
annually.
Agents who have the interest of
other nationalities mor at heart
than American are coming to learn
that they are not entitled to more
than a legitimate profit from Ameri-
can vessels and must handle them
efficiently IL they want American
