Surveying on Large Basis

DR. Alexander Hamilton Rice is
the instigator of the scheme and is
the director Of the school. o. M. Mil
Ter, formerly an officer in the British
Royal Field Artillery and later a stu
dent of the Royal Geographical So
ciety. and Weld Arnold, formerly a
fellow in the Harvard University
astronomical laboratory, will assist
in the instruction.
The schools main purpose is to
prepare the potential vanguards Of
modern civilization with a complete
knowledge of surveying. The So
ciety has found that college courses
in this work make a good railroad
transit man or a good county sur
veyor. bur they do not prepare the
student for making a record of the
vast spaces that are calling the
scientifically curious TO leave the
comforts Of the city for the excite
ments Of the jungles, A knowledge
Of recording the boundaries of hun
dreds of acres of land that has never
been subjected to this treatment bt-
fore is needed by the explorative par
ties that are being sent out.

By ItmeS SpeCtdt
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE good
old days when all one needed to be
an explorer were wanderlust, a
sextant and a good imagination have
passed, the American Geographical
Society has decided, and to provide
a qualified group of hardy pioneers
a school for explorers will be opened
in the fall Taking a scientific
glance over the earth's surface, the
society has discovered vast areas
that have not been done" properly,
Valiant souls have fought their way
through jungle fever and cannibal-
istic opposition, but the data they
brought back have been insufficient
to satisfy the 100 per cent scientific
mind.
The truth is, the society admits,
that even exploration has been in
fuenced by the age of specialization.
1t takes more than an Independent
income or the backing of a founda-
ton to make a pioneer suitable to
the needs of the contemporary gen.
Grafton, and so the school has been
created.

Yesterday the gossips had Il that
the tunnel was used by German
spies during the war and by daring
bootlegEers as a cache since the
arInistice.
Today there were score Of other
stories added to the two fables of

gamut of romance, adventure, in.
trigue and death.
According to one story. q trap
door, somewhere in the cavern, leads
its victims to death in pit of lime.
Known to ''Iii e Scorpions"
There arc tales Of spying during
the civil war frcm the recesses in
the tunnel, of branches of the sub.

many homes Of Importance in the
city and Of secret entrance to the

On top of these stories comes IN.
formation that in the past few
years. certain parts of the tunnel
have been used by the small bows
Of the neighborhood as the local
headquarters for the Little Scor.

There is also the statement that
some fifteen years ago the young
son Of Detective Pat O'Brien was
arrested and taken to the Juvenile
Court for breaking a lock to one Of
the doors that led to the tunnel.
1t was explained at that time that

Read, represented by Attorneys
James r. Splain and William p.
Leahy, claims that Justice Stafford
refused his motion to assign, him
counsel in the preparation Of an
appeal and that when his counsel
asked the court to be permitted to
withdraw from the case, which was
permitted, the court refused to
assign another to take his place and
that the defendant was without
funds to employ counsel. Read says
he did the best he could In drawing
up the bill of exceptions himself
which he filed In the court.
Without Counsel
The further claim il made by
Read that he was without counsel
from the trial TO the submission OF
his bill Of exceptions. even though
