SAYS CHARTING
OF SEASONE BIG
NEED FOR NAVY
Chief photographer Cites De-
pendence on Great Britain
for Shipping Data.
POINTS OUT DANGER

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE United
states Navy Is absolutely dependent upon
the British admiralty for nearly 80 per
cent Of her sailing charts, and entrancc
Of American warships into European wa
ters is practically under the control Of
the British government, Chief Hydro
grapher L. H. Chandler asserted today
I'm his annual report to the Secretary IF
the Navy.
OF the 4,542 charts used in navigating
American war vessels and merchant ships
in 1920 the Navy Department furnished
only 2,T2O, being compelled 70 look 70
British naval authorities for 1.17S. thu
report said. Seventy-fve per cent Of the
sea maps used in navigating northern
European waters came from British
sources.
During the last war" Read Admiral
Chandler continued. I'VE were fortunately
associated with Great Britain and were
therefore able to get the necessary charts
from the British admiralty. In any fu-
ture war in which Great Britain were
either neutral or hostile, we would be
fatally restricted by lack Of charts
The admiral declared this condition
should be remedied at the earliest pos
sible date, but warned that at the pres
ent rate Of progress it would be forty
years before the United States is indie
pendent Of Great Britain.
Admiral Chandler recommended the en-
Iargement Of the photographic bureau to
meet these needs and the amendment Of
existing laws prohibiting the bureau from
supplying merchant ships with all neces-
sary sailing data. An appropriation OF
SEQ. 600 year for i've years, the admiral
said, would be sufficient TO cover all
needs and would place the American Navy
and merchant marine In an independent
position go far as charts are concerned.

AFFECTIONS ARE ALL
WITH sTEPMOTHER.
These boys present one OF the strange
anomalies OF the case. Their affections
are all with the little woman held for
the murder Of their actual father, and
they make no pretense Of concealing their
grief over her Incarceration.
The worry Of all our thoughts are
with mother" they said repeatedly yes

one topic OF conversation Of the boys is
"hOw happy we viii be when we are

In the big three story frame residence
and studio at 1906 North Alabama street.
known as Myers Photo Shop, the very
walls had ears for Myers had the en-
tire house wired and dictaphones were
hidden in the most unexpected places, ac-
cording TO secrets discovered by the
police.
For a time his knowledge OF even I'M
important conversations which occurred
between members Of his family and EN-
plOyes seemed almost supernatural. For
example, when Mrs. Clara Creech, the
hOusekeeper. would meet Mrs. Myers in
the kitchen in the morning and ask
How did Mr.. Myers sleep last night 2"
and Mrs. Myers would answer, Not
very WELL" a little later Myers would
tell them OF that conversation and is
said to have remarked. You seem d
concerned about how I sleep"
1t was during his visit TO Palm Beach,
Fla, that the dictaphoues were dis
covered and a net work Of wires in the
walls and between the floors leading to
the phones were removed.
In the Myers photo shop is a crystal
which causes no end Of mirth among the
young women employed there but which
Myers regarded in a serious light.
This crystal. he often told the young
women, would reveal wonderful things
under certain conditions.
MOONLIGHT EXPOSURE
REVEALS WONDERS.
You must place it on a piece Of black
posure, and look at it in the moonlight,
then and only then viii you see what 1t
can reveal" was what Myers is reported
to have often told his employees.
Myers was a student Of a book written
by Charles G. Leland, entitled The
Mystic Will" That book and other
similar publications are in the studio.
1t was this book that he is said to have
read to a woman the night the morals
squad raided a house at 437 North Ala
bama street after Myers had been fol-
lowed there by private detectives en-
ployed by his wife. The woman was Eva
Hubner, the police say.
The Mystic VIII" is described as
book setting out "A method Of develop
ing and Strengthening the faculties OF
the mind, through the awakened will,
by a simple, scientific process possible
to the person Of ordinary intelligence
The treatise was first published in
England several years ago under the
title Of Have You a Strong Will?"
