London, Oct. 2O.-The profess

She has gained wide reputa.

and more recently for her efforts
IN the recovery Of treasure from
the sunken Spanish galleon lying
IN ten fathoms Of water near the
shore of Null, an island off Scot
land. There, in the coy little
harbor of Tobermory, and less
than hundred yards from the
beach, lies one of the great
treasure ships Of the Spanish
Amanda. The boat was one of
the many vessels launched by the
ambitious Phillip, in 1888. for his
attempted conquest of England.
So certain was this monarch
that he would add the British

that he actually sent on his Jew

believed today that the richly
bejewelled crown is lying some

Although the task presents
many problems which would

no fear. She had had one OF
two narrow escapes from death
IN the course Of her experience.
without being in any way deterr-
ed from tackling the risky busi-
ness again.
Miss Naylor recently made a
trip to the southern coast OF
England and obtained some ex.
cellent specimens of undersea
plant life. She nearly lost her
life when her feet become en-
tangled in a ladder which she was
using, and only her presence Of
mind enabled her to free herself

Yesterday and by last night the

.CR|PPLEs INCLINED
TO CRIME SAYS
DRESDEN JUDGE
(By Associated Press)


Dresden, Oct. 19.-Criminal in
cllnations are so highly dev eloped
IL cripples that these members of
society should be the objects of
especial alertness on the part of
the authorities, in the opinion of
DR.. Erich Wulffen, of the Saxon
ministry Of justice.
Doctor Wulffen declared in the
course Of an address before a con-
gress for the care Of cripples,
that the only favor which the
forthcoming criminal code of the
republic would show these un-
fortunates would be slight elas-
ITCHY in applying "extenuating
circumstances to them.
Because of his handicap. a
cripple easily becomes at odds
with society and drifts to crime,
the speaker said. Cripples are
wont to be the victims Of illus
ions, and to incline toward dom
ination, power, and barbarity.
Their offenses, he stated, usually
are assault, INSTRUMENTATION, bod.
lily injury, or property damage.
Doctor Wulffen urged the i'm
portance Of judges and prosecn-
ting attorneys studying the cas-
es Of cripples with particular
care, to determine their psyche
logical background.
