BY HAL ARMSTRONG.
n. T.. A. stan Correspondent.

SEATTLE ~ Criminologists arc
agreed today that the murder Of
Mrs. Kate Mahoney was one of the
most deliberately planned crimes Of
the decade.
The plans extended across the
continent. from here to Havana,
Cuba, and presumably were weeks in
being formed.
Yet, in an Office little more than
twelve feet square, Captain Charles
e. Tennant, police detective of mod
ern type. undid the plans in a few
hours and knew where the body OF
Mrs Mahoney was
on May % two nieces Of the my
steriously missing woman first broke
the news TO Tenant that she was
gone and that their suspicious were
aroused.
In less than three days he was
dragging Lake Union for Mrs. Ma.
honey's trunk. in which he said wal
her body. He pointed out. within a
few rods. the exact spot where the
trunk bobbed to the surface nearly
two and a half months later.
Mahoney, the husband. charged
with the murder, simulated insanity
or has actually lost his reason since
his arrest.
1T wasn't anything but hard plug
ging that solved that crime" said
Tennant today. Hard plugging and
common horse sense"
How he formulated and worked
out the theory of the Mahoney muir
der. he explained:
"She, a bride, was missing. il
didn't take long to send for her

WAS EDUCATED IN
 LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL
Chinese Vice Admiral May Have
 Gone to School Here

Tsai Ting Kan, vice admiral of China and member of the Chinese disarma- ment delegation is former student of the New Britain high school, according to records on file at the state depart ment.
 history of the distinguished China man on record in Washington says Ia Tsai Ting Kan, who is one of the lead ing spirits in the delegation, left the local high school about 1877. Shortly after he left the local high school he returned to his native country and en- tered the navy. His education, at that time making him among the few really educated Chinamen in the world, was recognized by the old Chinese dynasty to such an extent that he was made commodore of the Chinese feet.l In 1912 he became vice admiral
 When China became republic Tsai Ting Kan was made a member of the cabinet and as such handled all Chin csc foreign affairs under President Yuan Shin Kai
 A search of the records of the local high school failed to reveal any trace of Chinaman graduating in 1877. The earliest record of Chinaman which could be found here was one named Chong Ting Kon. It is thought this is the same man, although the dates given here are 1880 to 1881. The rec ord shows an attendance in the second middle or sophomore class. He was not a regular student, according to local records, and did not re-register in 1882.

FIREMEN GET LOST
Three Members of Engine Company No. Found Themselves in Predica- ment for Time Last Night.

Three members of the local fire department had bewildering experi- ence last night, that brought about discontinue for some time, but which luckily like tales in a story book, end ed happily.
 The men, Captain James Grove, John. Brophy and Patrick Kenney, of Engine Company No. 4, had respond ed to a call to extinguish a forest fire in the northwestern part of the city, at 5:55 o'clock last night. The flames were located near Loon lake In order that they might be, able to find their way back, the firemen took along two boys to act as guides.
 The fremen were confronted with a hard task in combating the flames which were extinguished by the use of brooms. The work so engaged their attention that little thought was spent on how to get out of the woods. When the flames had finally been subdued. the firemen with their aides found themselves baff1ed Their wan derings about brought them to the edge of Loon lake, where a shack oc- cupied by an Italian was located. This man directed the lost quintet out onto the Plainville road.
 On arriving at the Traut residence, the firemen then had to start back to get the apparatus which was left standing on Slater Road.

ANOTHER BOMB OUTRAGE
Havana Plot Believed To Be Move In
 Effort To Save Two Murderers in 
 Massachusetts.

Havana, Cuba, Oct. 31.-Consider- able property damage was caused by the explosion of a bomb in the home of Fernando Gonzales Verdenes, an arch itect in a fashionable resident section of this city early this morning. The police are Investigating the explosion and appeared to believe it might be con- nected with threats by radicals against Major Gen. Enoch H Crowder and the United States legation here. These threats were contained in proclama- tions distributed throughout Havana Saturday night in connection with the case of Nicolo Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, who have been convicted of murder in a Massa sachusetts court.
 Senor Vardenes told the police today he could not imagine why anyone should attempt to destroy his home, which is distant from the American legation and not in the vicinity of the home of any prominent American who might have been chosen by the radicals as the first victim of their proposed demonstration.
