Tips Of Authorities to Gigantic
 Bond SWindle

New York, Sept. 27.-Samuol Scilken, Brooklyn glove manufac- ,turer, was responsible for the ar rest yesterday of three men Tn con nection with the wholesale disposal of spurious bonds of the Steel and Tube company of America, 1t was disclosed today.
 It was through Scilken that As sistant District Attorney Gibbs first learned of the bonds, after between $250.OUo and s5O0,O0O worth had been disposed of in this country and South America. Scilken, former owner of a Manhattan glove manu- factury, disposed of the concern to Le Bon Ray corporation last May, receiving in payment the spurious bonds.
 Although the bonds resembled those of the Steel and Tube Co. of America, the word North" had been inserted, in small letters, before America" Scilken obtained a loan on the bonds from the Pacific bank, whose officials later learned that the paper was spurious, whereupon the glove manufacturer reported the af- fair to the authorities.
 Thomas c, Thompson, of Hemp stead, L, l., president of Le Bon Ray. Frank Alden Miller, Mont clair, N. J., treasurer of the com pany, and Edward Feist. Atlantic Highlands, N. J., were arrested in connection with the circulation of the bonds yesterday. Mir. Gibbs said that Miller had made a partial con- fession. The three today were held in s5,OO0 bail each on charges of grand larceny.
 Miller, Mr. Gibbs said, told him that he first had obtained the bonds when he was in the army. stationed at Port Newark, N. J., from a man named Murray. He received them in payment of debt, the assistant district attorney asserted. later ob- taining loan on them from bank.
 Some of the bonds, Mir. Gibbs learned, later were sold to the brok- craze house of |, F. Hutton & O., for s5,200. Harry E. Wesson of Montclair, Mir. Gibbs said, had loan ed Miller money on the forged paper and had also purchased two of the bonds from Feist, who was introduc- cd to him by Miller under the name of Captain Summers,

WANTS ID SINK
 F MILE SHAFT
Scientist Believes Earth'S Center
 Interesting

New York, Sept. 27.-Explorers of the future will turn their eyes to. ward the center of the earth instead of its polar regions if they follow the suggestion of Sir Charles AIger- non Parsons, British scientist, who advocates the formation of scien- tific corporation to sink shaft 2 miles into the earth's interior, Sir Charles believes that such a project would be more profitable scientific ally and economically than any polar expedition of the past.
 Sketching a picture of hitherto unimagined wealth, drawn toward the center of the earth by the force of gravity. and suggesting the rossi- hility of the discovery of unknown chemical clements capable of chang ing the course of mans development Sir Charles yesterday told more than 100 engineers that his experiments had convinced him that a granite lined shaft could be sunk 12 miles into the interior of the earth. He said it might go deeper than 1? miles bul probably could not pene- trate beyond a depth of 20 miles,
 Fifty years and about sos, ,oo0, ,0o0 would be required 10 sink shoft 20 feet in diameter, he estimated, The shaft would be lined with zinc tc withstand the terrific heat which would have to be pumped out like water, he continued. It would have levels at desired depths as mine' have, according to the British scien' lists tentative plans. The surface point at which the shaft would en' ter the esrth's crust would have tt be determined by geologists, he said Prszil has about 50.O0h. 0n0 in

GERMAN SPY TALE
 PROVED ONLY MYTH
Washington Man Admits Having
 Dug Strange Tunnels

Washington, Sept. 27.-The "baf- fling mystery" of the labyrinth of underground passageways discover ed last Wednesday in an exclusive residential section of the capital, a neighborhood of embassies and cost Iy mansions, has been solved. Har- rison G. Dyar, quiet and unassum- ing individual employed as an en- tomologist in the Smithsonian insti- tuition, put an end to feverish specu- lations that ran the gamut from German spies to bootleggers, con- spirators and what not, when he told a newspaper reporter he dug the passageways for recreation after office hours.
 Digging tunnels after work is my hobby; there's really no mystery about it," Mr. Dyar was quoted as saying when he rather reluctantly told the story to quiet the agitations of the imaginative which have been filling the local press ever since the wheelers of motor truck sank through crust of earth and re- vealed the tunnels.
 The scientist explained that he found cave digging helpful form of exercise as well as an entertainment for his young son. The passageways on which he worked for a period ot 10 years, were now nearly 10 years old. he said, having been constructed on property he owned in the rear of a house from which he has since moved.
 MT. Dyar had no explanation for the presence in the tunnels of Ger man newspapers which bore dates in 1917, after his disposal of the prop erty and which gave the chief i'm petus to the German spy theory.
