FIRST U-B0AT
10 Seniors at Annapolis
Engage in Undersea
Maneuvers.

Annapolis, Md, Oct. 1S.-Seventy
Midshipmen of tho first class at the
Naval Academy, today reeled off a
good bit in the way of practical sea-
manship and navigation underseas.
A division of U-boats, consisting of
seven vessels, had been in local
waters since last weekend. having
come up from their temporary base
at Hampton Roads, and authorities
of the academy hit upon the idea of
sending a number of the seniors out
into the bay. The complement of
seventy was assigned, ten to each
of the vessels and their dive into
the depths of the bay, during which
they engaged in a series of maneu-
vers, consumed about two hours.
Comdr. S. c. Rowan is the COM
manding officer of the division of
submarines.
The submarines will sail from
here tomorrow for the naval base at
New London Conn. The nineteenth
and thirty-sixth divisions of torpedo
boat destroyers, attached to the At
lanttc fleet, which had also been in
local waters, sailed today for the
drill grounds off Cape May, n. ].

Bankers, business men, statesmen

earth.

members this year, the largest in it's
history.
Yesterday was given over to eX-
ecutive meetings of the various COM
missions and committees in prepara-
tion for making the reports to the
convention.
Committee Formulates Report.
The public relations committee
at its meeting in the Willard Hotel
last night formulated a report to
be made at the general session,
which urges the association to set
up greater machinery for the dis
semination of banking information
for the general information or the
public. because much criticism of
banking methods is due to ignorance.
Speaking on this subject last night.
NJ. Z. Holderness. vice chairman of
the pubic relations cvmmfttee. said:
said:
Public opinion is courted as
siduously these days with various
forms of public relations, by people
in all walks of life, and is reckoned
in the constructive efforts of most
all organizations. Too long the
American Bankers Association has
sedately refused to pay homage to
the power of properly disseminated
public information, although the list
of those national associations de-
veloping such departments as major
activities has grown apace. We do
not seek to mold opinion by the
overworked propaganda methods,
but to enllghten and aid the proper
public opinien as concerns the i'm
portance of banking, its place in
the community and the nation, and
the work of this association"

Fake Crook Pulls
TooLong a Bow;
Lands inLock-up

New York, Oct. 1S.-Rule number
999 in the book of higher salesman
ship, according to Henry c. Toback,
requires that the salesman pose as
a crook or smuggler. This. pose,
II well protrayed, will impress the
buyer with the idea that he or she
is about to buy stolen goods, and
therefore certain to get a bargain.
Big profits and an easy sale are there
by assured.
But this morning Henry waved his
hands, said the rule was wrong,
and declared he would never obey
1t again.
Toback had a $4,000 fur coat he
wanted to sell. His plan was to rep
resent it as a $4,000 sable coat
smuggled into the country. and give
it away for q mere $4,000. He
chose as his victims the sisters,
Misses Catherine and Charlotte
Poillon.
That part of his plan was splendid
but Toback tried introducing crook
atmosphere by declaring in a whis-
per that he was the man who stole
the Carrso Jewels.
The girls called the police and his
assertion concerning the Jewels was
recorded on dictaphones. He was
arraigned in West Side court today,
charged with having received stolen
goods.
Toback proved that he is in the
fur business. being a partner of one
Julius Klein. He said he was
justice of the peace in Union Hill,
N. j., at one time.
About fifteen well dressed men.
appeared in court today to testify
to the good character of Toback.
