Navy Officials Scout Theory of

Navy officers here frankly doubt
the theory that radio operators on
the destroyers were thrown off their
reckonings by confusion of signals in
connection with calls for assistance
for the wrecked liner Cuba. Position
signals they said. invariably are
addressed specifically to the ship that
has requested them. Furthermore the
difference in the location of the
stranded mail steamer and the de-
stroyers was too great, it was stated.
That tidal disturbance of far moro

off their course and hurled them.

Washington, March 22.-How half

Joying the wealth of inherited Oklaho-

the dying wife of the man for whose
alleged murder Tidewell served a

committed the murder was laid to have
been former lover of Mrs. Brown
