EARS ON SHIPS
 WILL REDUCE
 DANGER AT SEA

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 (by Associated Press) ).-In olden times when Chinese Shipbuilders designed and constructed their lateen sailed craft for war or commercial purposes, prominent and ofttimes ferocious "eyes" were located on either side of the bow.
 Today modern America. now the leading nation in ship construction, is proposing to equip her merchant ves- sels with "ears," the location of which, like the eyes on the Chinese junk, are on the ships bows, but under instead of over the water While superstition induced the Chinaman to equip his .- ship so it could "see" it's enemies and 9work its way into a safe port through shoal water, hidden rocks and through crowded waterways, science has de- signed the "ears'' for the same pur- pose.
 With the destroyer Breckenridge equipped as a demonstrating ship, 40 or more representatives of leading steamship lines had an opportunity to see and test the efficacy of the listen ing device. It is now a, government controlled invention, used on fighting ships during the war as protection against submarines and officially des- ignated by the navy as "the M. V. type, hydrophone." Its object is to disclose in surrounding waters the presence of other craft, to foretell the approach to shoal waters, apprise the navigator of the vicinity of lightships equipped with submarine bell signal ing devices It is expected also to dis close with a remarkable degree of ac- curacy, the depth of water wherein the ship so equipped is floating.
 The appartus includes 48 hydro phone receivers located in a tank of water in the bow of the vessel so that an equal number is on either side. In the test the sound of the propellers of a steamer five miles distant was heard. The depth of water is ascer- tained by listening to the noise made by the propellers of the vessel carry ing the hyrophone as it is echoed back from the bottom of the sea. In depth hydrophone refuses to record, it was explained, but as a majority of colli- congested harbor entrances, the in- ventors and officers of the navy pre- dict that it's adoption will remove many of the hazards of navigation now induced by fog.
 Dr. H. c. Hayes, formerly of Swarth- more college, said the device had been installed on the transport Von Steuben and one one occasion probably saved the ship from running aground on the Long Island shore during a heavy fog. Dr. Hayes also claims that the inven- tion will enable mariner to locate icebergs, through the refiecting back to the operator from the submerged portion of a dangerous berg the sound of the operating ships own propellers.

Falling Receipts

COX WITH QUESTIONS

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Oct. 20.-Prob-
ably the liveliest bombardment of
questions during his campaign was
that experienced by Governor Cox, Of
Ohio, here today.
During an address to several thous-
and persons in the public square,
holding what he called town meet
ing" the Democratic presidential can.
didate was piled with questions about
the league, the liquor question and the
Irish question.
A woman asked the governor his
views regarding the Volstead law. He
asked whether she had put the ques-
ton to Senator Harding, his Republi-
can opponent, and then reiterated
that the senator had voted "32 times
wet and two times dry" and owned
brewery stock, declaring again that
he opposed any prohibition legislation
"in conflict with the constitution as
interpreted by the supreme court OF
the United States and that he had
closed Ohio saloons on Sunday. The
governor said he had been elected
governor three times, adding: land
the liquor interests never contributed
nickel to my campaign then or
now"
ASSailS senator IooSe.
Following up his attack upon Sen
ator Lodge in Boston last night, the
Democratic presidential candidate was
prepared today to cudgel the league
opponents and Republican supporters
of Senator Harding. Here, where
there is a large population Of Irish
blood, and in other places today the
Irish question was predominant among
| the governors subjects.
In Connecticut, where he made his
first visit August 81 last, Governor
| Cox planned to urge defeat of Senator
| Brandegee, the Republican candidate
who signed the "round-robin" and has
since been persistent in the anti
league fight.
Following his address here, Govern

MARGARET M'CARTER,
REPUBLICAN ORATOR.
DRAWS LARGE CROWD

A large crowd heard Mrs. Margaret
Hill M'eCarter, leading Republic orator
and we'll known writer of historical
fiction, in the high school auditorium
yesterday afternoon, where she spoke
under the auspices of the Republican
county organization.
Mrs. M.cCarter presented the Re-
publican position on the league Of ma
lions, stating in effect that Article
Ten, which agreed to protect the ter
ritorial Integrity of all the nations
belonging ITO the league, was ceserv.
eddy the point at issue between the
two great parties, since their country
would not go back on her pledged
word and would fulfill that moral OBJ
legation which was implied in the pact
which she had signed.
The United States Is an honorable
nation, stated the speaker, and even
| If congress should refuse to send
American soldiers to Europe to pro
| tect the boundaries of the most In
significant member Of the league, the
American people would not sanction
such a procedure if it had signed a
pact containing an obligation like that
| included in Article 10.
To illustrate the contention Of the
| putty LadI IuS SoPAIoI1
| Gated European nations belonging to
the league had expected the United
States to come to the rescue in such
an eventuality, Mrs, McCarter pointed
to England and Lloyd George, who
said, when asked to send English
troops to Poland to assist them
against the Russians.
England has neither the men mol
| tho has NOT fhe
men or the money. If the United
States were a member of the league
where they have the men and the
money, we would call on her"
Mrs. McCarter stated that womeT
should join the right party organiza
lions since the latter were the best
medium for registering the voters
opinion, stating that the independent
voter had, after all, to depend upor
the parties for candidates.
She also stated that the woman WHIT
refused to vote was not the bes
citizen nor the best home-maker.
The speaker denounced war, stating
that 1t was the most insane and futile
manner settling disputes, and appealed
to her hearers to register vote tina
would help do away forever with 1T
horrors.
She flayed democratic extravaganza
and waste during the war, and denoun
ced President Wilson, for going t.
Europe in all the state and pomp o
an European Monarch, while the Amer
lean soldiers were suffering privatio1
and the American nation was sacr1
ficing everything for the successful
termination of the war.

Douid Paul Death Unsolued
Officials Work on New
Clues: Bank Funds Missing
(By Associated Press)

CAMDEN, N. J. Oct. 20-Beyond es-
tablishing to their satisfaction that
David S. Paul, the bank messenger,
whose body was found last Saturday
buried in the Jersey pines, had led
troubled life for several years, ana
was friendly with a number of women
unknown to his wife, Camden and Bur-
lington county authorities said today
they had made but little progress to-
ward a solution of the mystery sur
rounding his death, and the disappear
ance of $4,000 he was taking to a
Philadelphia bank.
Planned to Meet Woman
1t is established through Frank
James, an automobile salesman. that
when Paul boarded the ferryboat the
day of his disappearance. he planned
t. meet two women in Philadelphia.
Prosecutor Wolverton said that James
told him he had driven Paul to the
ferryboat, but had refused to accom-
pany him across the river.
Paul told him, according to the pros
ecutor, that II he went along he might
be able to frame up party"
! A number of persons, including three
women, have been questioned by pros
ecutor Wolverton in the hope they
might be able to throw some light on
the mystery, but none of them, he
said today, were able to furnish any
important clues. One Of these women
admitted she wrote the unsigned love
letter found in Paul's pocket. All the
women were absolved by the prosecu
tor of any connection with the case.
Discover New Clue
It is almost certain, the police say
that Pauls body was taken to the
place where it was found in an auto
mobile, and it is also certain that he
had been deal only about "a hours
before the body was found. Wha,
was considered an importantpiece oil
evidence was found yesterday, neal

ed 1t was a blod stained shred OF
tape torn from the upholstery of al
automobile seat. Some papers, includ
ing an naturalization card contain
ing Paul's name. also was picked w
in the vicinity Of the shallow grave.
These, the police say evidently were
jolted from his pockets as the car spec
over the rough road.
There is not a single clue, accord
ing to the authorities as to PauIE
whereabouts during the 10 days interim
between his disappearance on Oct 5
and the probable date Of his death.
