AMBASSADOR WOODS GIVES
REASONS FOR PLEA TO RETIRE

WASHINGTON, May 19:-The
desire of Ambassador Woods at
Toxic to relinquish his post is be-
lieved by officials here to be based
wholly upon personal considerations
and to have no connection with
pending immigration legislation in
this country.
Mr.. Woods first expressed his wish
to be relieved when he was in the
United States some months ago, be-
fore the Japanese exclusion question
came up in congress. His resigna-
ton has not yet been formally sub
mitted but he expects to return to
the United States when he can De
spared for the purpose of rendering
it.
Recent dispatches from Toxic
have indicated that the health OF the
ambassadors mother-in-law, Mrs. j.
A. Marchand. who was injured our
ing the Toxic earthquake, has not
improved and that her condition has
become increasingly precarious. Mr.
Woods desires to bring her back to
the United States at the earliest pos
sible moment,
Until the immigration issue de-
veloped it was the purpose of the
Washington administration to re-
lieve the ambassador in accordance
with his request, at an early date. Ii
was felt. however, that the dellcacy
OF the new situation made it unwise
TO make an immediate change. In
consequence Mr.. Woods return has
been delayed beyond the time orig
inally fixed,

Men Taken to New York
While cruising dark" on a hum

While cruising dark" on hunt
for rum runners, flve miles south
west of Ambrose Light ship before
daylight Saturday morning, the coast
guard cutter Manhattan rescued
four New Jersey men who said they
had jumped into the sea from a
upeed boat from which they had been
I fishing, when the boat struck some
driftwood. The men claimed the
impact tore the bottom out of the
vessel, and it sank within a minute
after the accident. There was no
evidence that the men were rum
runners.
The men who were rescued and
taken to New York City gave the
following addresses: Captain John
w. Grant, twenty-five, of Carr ave-
nue., Keansburg: James Granato,
twenty, Keyport: H. A.. Cocker,
twenty-eight. of West Keansburg,
and Joseph Reynolds, thirty-two, of
New Brunswick.
information obtained from Key
mort today was to the effect that
arant and Granato are brothers and
that Granato resides about three
miles from that borough on what is
known as the Middletown road. The
police of Keyport are reported to
haye no knowledge of the incident.
According to the stories told when
the men reached New York. they
had been fishing from the speed
boat, the name of which they said
+ they did not know, and were return
ing to Keyport when the boat struck
the driftwood while making thirty
five miles an hour. The boat sank
shortly after the impact. The four
occupants of the boat said they had
just time enough to get off their oil
skins and boots and don life pre-
servers before the boat disappeared
| beneath the waters.
Grant, Granato and Goeken. man
aged to keep together Grant said,
but Reynolds floated away. All man.
aged to free themselves from their
outer clothing while in the water.
The craft sank at 1897 A. NJ, and the
four could not see q light or a vessel
at that time.
Grant said he saw the silhouette
of the Manhattan not far away,
after they had been in the water for
nsome time, and the men then re-
hewed their yelling. Because of the
cold water Granato became uncon-
scious and for fifteen minutes be-
fore the Manhattan come to their
rescue, Grant said he and Goeken
had to hold Granatos head above
the water. Although they could
hear Reynolds voice nearby, they
could not reach him.
Hearing the voices of the men,
Captain Oscar Vinje of the Man
haitian, covered them with his
searchlight while they were rescued.
Members of the crew supplied
clothing and enough money to take
the men to their homes. They were
landed at the barge office Saturday
afternoon. The men said the speed
boat was owned by Michael Lane,
of Newark, and was valued at $10.-
900. 1t could do better than forty
miles an hour, they said.

The largest shoplifting haul ever

Captain of Detectives Lawrence A.
Long in the local police department
followed the arrest of Mrs. Giovanni
Anciana, forty-nine years old, of
2S5 washington street, on Saturday
night.
Early Saturday night floorwalk-
er in McCrory's five and ten cent
store noticed the woman pick up a
silk shirt and when he brought her
to the cellar of the building for
questioning, she tried to dispose OF
silk dresses, slippers, scarfs and no.
tions bearing the stamr of the Ross
stores. On complaint of the man
ayers of the Ross and McCrory
stores the woman was apprehended
ON a shoplifting charge->---s
1t is understood that the woman
has exhibited her taking ways in
Reynolds store, Sharp & Hanson's,
McCrory's and the Ross stores. The
managers of the Ross and McCrory
establishments appeared at head
quarters yesterday to press the COM
plaint and yesterday morning a
search warrant was obtained for the
woman nome.
The contents of a large, well pack
ed trunk in the Washington street
home, goods taken from the four
Smith street stores. made the detec-
tives room at police headquarters
look the part of department store.
There were silks for men, women
and children. and department store
goods of almost every description.
Fined $500
Detective John Murray and Mo-
torcycle Officer Paul Layden were
detailed on the case by Lieutenant
Andrew Jensen, Saturday night, and
Detective Murray arraigned the
woman. David T. Wilentz repre-
sented the woman and the court
asked whether the defense wanted
the case to go to New Brunswick or
to be settled here. Local settlement
was decided on and the court i'm
posed a fine of $500.
While the search of the trunk was
being made a Reynolds store tie was
found, one which has not been in
stock for two or three years. This
would lead one to believe that the
woman has been shoplifting for that
period.
The police believe she had man
ways of carrying away her loot, a
canvas bag containing the goods in
her possession at the time of her
arrest. When the defendants pedi-
gree was taken by the lieutenant fol-
lowing her arrest, she gave her
home address as New Brunswick.
Later Saturday night she was re-
leased in $1,000 bail for a hearing
