Dr. T. Tileston Wells, Rumanian consul at New York, said last night that he knew nothing of the affair.

Cohonel Mitelescu, former head of the mission, returned'to Eu ' rope in September and was succeeded by Constantino Orghidan, who is at present in Washington, Dr. Wells said. Dr. Weils said some of the contracts were cancelled by the Rumanian gov? ernment because certain products were not up to specification, and that the i account of the Rumanian war ma ; terials commission in a loca! bank was attached by the Connecticut manufact? urers. Government to Use j\ews papers to Get Recruits for Army Advertising Appropriation Made by War Department To Be Spent With Dailies During 2 Weeks of June New Torh Tribun* FVoaJi ington Bureau WASHINGTON, June 6.- The War Department to-day authorized publica? tion of the following information: The .Secretary of War tins morning approved the. completed plan for ex? penditure by the War Department of $185,000 for newspaper advertising to secure recruits for the army. This money will be spent, during the month of June, the advert >s; ng beginning on or about June 16 and continuing until about the end of June. Advertisements will appeal- in all daily papers printed in English in all of the 55 large cities in which are the principal recruiting offices of the army. The inadequate size of recruit? ing offices in other cities makes it in? advisable, as a business matter, to place newspaper advertising in those cities, since the staff is not available n do the preliminary and follow-up work which every advertiser on a busi? ness basis recognizes as an essential part of a properly conducted adver? tising campaign. "It is also impossible, in the time available, within the limits of the money to he expended, and without cre? ating additional facilities, to extend the campaign to include other period? icals than dailies printed in English, although it is recognized that to do so would be advisable from the point of ? iew or results if it were otherwise ex? pedient . "In connection with this campaign. th? publicity bureau of the army re? cruiting service will send to recruiting officers a letter in which il will say: "'Upon the success of this campaign will, to a large extent, depend the fate of similar propositions in the future, und if it proves effectual, you can see thai il opens up very large possibilities foi government advertising in publica ? onE whose columns lend themselves to its i - ? "?I:. ? - paid advertising. During the war and since the armistice, great amount- ??!" space have been solicited, and freely, generously given by pub? lishers or paid for out of private funds, to advance various worthy causes. For this arms- advertising, however, a defi? nite appropriation has been set aside, and the problem of the bureau is how ?o expend this money in such a way as to obtain the maximum result-.'" > l)l\ 1\ i: "( IE> < !.

I. looked' around and took in the situation. Then I shouted 'What's the matter'.' Where is he'." L looked over the stern. In the water I saw some spray. I saw it. fcr about a second and a half, and then it disappeared. Just once H? heard a cry. It was'Help!' The voice vas Hansen's, but I did not see him." Speaking slowly and in low tones. Captain Adolph C. Pedersen, master of the American barkentine Puako, thus described yesterday the last moment of Axel Hansen, the seaman, who waa drowned on the high seas August 6 last. Gesticulating dramatically, he re? lated his story to Judge Hough and the jury in the Federal Court trying him and his son on the charge of murdering Hansen. "It was blowing a gale," he said, "and was very squally. The ship was in great danger, so I ordered the second mate to put her back on her course. 1 said, 'Poor fellow, we can't do anything for him.' Xo boat could have lived in that sea." Captain Pedersen followed his eigh? teen year old son Adolph, second mate of the ship, on the stand. Defence Alleges Mutiny During the cross examination of both defendants the two prosecutors Obtained important admissions. Part of the defence is based on a statement signed by !.. A, Smithson, a cabin boy, who alleges the crey were BoJsheviki and had planned to min? der the captain and officers and then scuttle the ship. Under close cross examination by Assistant District Attorney Benjamin Matthews, Captain Pedersen described Smithson as "tricky, lazy, untruth? ful and neglectful," and finally ad? mitted he placed no faith in the boy's veracity. '? lie testified that he did not throw a life buoy overboard to the drown? ing man, "because of the danger to the ship." The younger Pederson, who had tes? tified during direct examination under Dudley Field Malone, his counsel, that the ship was making nine knots at the time of the drowning of Hansen, was confront eil with the ship's log hook which showed that during the four fateful hours of August 6 the ship av? eraged only sis knots. S. Lawrence .Miller, who cross exam? ined him also, elicited the fact thai ?lack .loe. who has injured hands and was the weakest member of the crew, was handling the ?heel of the ship at tiie time Pedersen declared a gale was blowing. He had stated shortly before two men were necessary to handle the wheel under more moderate wcathci condit ions.

During that time he was put in the* mate's storeroom every night. He described this as a room four feet eight inches high without windows. At the end of rive weeks the seaman could not stand up. During his direct examination by Mr. Malone. Captain Pedersen tic-scribed the incident in his cabin on July 30 when Hansen signed a statement which the crew alleged was signed at the point of a revolver after the captain had severely beaten Hansen. "When Hansen came into my cabin," said the captain, "his face was badly bruised. His eyes were almost closed and his face was bleeding. He had been fighting with the cabin boy Smith son. 1 had to keep his eye open while he signed the statement." Told of Hot to Murder The statement signed by Hansen was produced and rend: "1, Axel Hansen, state that we plan? ned from the beginning of the voyage to kill the captain and the officers and to take the vessel into some island or somewhere off the coa^t of Chile, i implicate myself, Frank Grielcn, Lester Jensen and B. Olsen. We first planned to throw the master and the ma!e overboard. Wc ?.'.ere to sail the ship into some place and turn the vessel over to the authorities and tell lows of lies. "We never spoke about getting ran? som for the ship from the Germans. Lots of times we did not answer the officers when orders were given so that w e might cause trouble and be able to shove the master overboard. "July 7, at 1 o'clock, the captain was on deck tucking (he shin and walking around the deck straightening out things and helping the crew. 1 tried to shove the captain overboard but failed. I was treated alright on this ship and 1 am signing this statement willingly. I am not forced to sign this state? ment." The trial will be continued to-day.

Oppos ?ti? by Xew York State officials a id b; business ftnii labor organizations to the repeal of ih<> daylight saving act has insured the continuation of the day? light saving system throughout the present summer. All danger that the clocks would be ordered turned forward by Congres: before the first Sunday in Octobei wa removed to-day when the House Inter? state and Foreign Commerce Commit? tee agreed thai the repealer should noi become effective before the summer of 19 HO. Realizing that advocates of daylight saving had it in their power to delay enactment of a repealer designed to be? come effective this summer, and fear? ing that the increasing opposition I the repeal mighl prow i ?> such propoi lions that ii could noi later be over come, ihe House Committee voted ti report a resolution repealing dayligh saving for the summer of 1920. By reporting the resolution immedi ately th? committee will force actioi before the opposition has reached higl tide. 1' is expected that the resolutioi will be adopted by the House by n two thirds majority and by a fair majoritj in the Senate.

McDoiiough Is Ousted for Being Careless and Negligent; Painter's Bill Estimated as Excessive ALBANY. Juno 6.?Thomas II. Mc Donough, of Troy, who was suspended April 21 a? Suoenntcndent of Public Buildings, was removed from office to? day by the trustees of public buildings, and John J. McGrath, of l'h?necia, was appointed his successor. The action of the board of trustees, which is composed of Governor Smith, Lieutenant Governor Harry W. Walker and Thaddeus C. Sweet, Speaker of the Assembly, followed a hearitur several days as'o into the conduct of the al? fa:!? of the superintendent'* office. I; was alleged that a Troy painter had rendered a bill foe $434.95 for work which had been ordered by the super? intendent, while the State Architect estimated that the cost should have been considerably less. It was also brought out at the hearing that there had existed, and was continued by Superintendent McDonough, a revolv? ing fund derived from the .-ale of waste paper and discarded furniture, from which loans were made to employes and emergency expenses paid. "The office of the Superintendent of Buildings for some years past has been conducted in a careless, loose and in? efficient manner." said ft statement is? sued by the trustees. "Superintendent McDonough has been careless and , negligent in the conduct of ms de? partment. The general spirit of laxity and indifference to the needs of the requirements of the department, as well as the good of the service, demand the removal of the superintendent."

With a genius i for bizarre effects, he devised "A Trip to i lie Moon." the onlv amusement leature at the Buffalo Exposition of ?901 which showed a profit. I The next year he came to New York. Llmer Dundy, a keen showman of the Barnum type, a5 conservative as Thomp? son was extravagant, became his partner. They borrowed $500.000 in Wall Street, and built Luna Park. Then Thompson conceived the idea of the Hippodrome, combining the? atre and citciis. The two were planning a great permanent expo? sition on the heights of the Fort George section when financial reverses came Then Dundy died, and Thompson, with? out the guidance of his shrewd, cau? tious partner, lost Luna. He went bank? rupt, with liabilities amounting tc $600,000. Failed Also on Coast He sank a million dollars in "Toy land" at the Panama-Pacific Exposi? tion in San Francisco during 1915. An? other amusement park venture in Lus Angeles about the same time siso was unsuccessful. His last notable work was the election at an Atlantic City park of an aerial device for viewing a sea battle. In addition to hu? amusement park p.ctivities Mr, Thompson was a theatri? cal producer, jiving his genius for un? usual mechanical effects full play in "Polly of the Circus."

In sev? eral of these he featured his first wife, Mabel Talhaferro, whom he mar? ried in 1908, and who obtained a di? vorce six years later. Mr. Thompson's health began to break about ten years ;.go, and latter? ly interfered with his I umerous plans to rehabilitate his fortunes. Among his other accomplishments he was a designer and maker of art furniture. Just before his death he was eagerly at work on the idea of establishing a great toy factory ana permanent exposition of mechanical novelties, which should furnish em? ployment to thousands of former sol? diers whose pay should come from g3te receipts. Mr. Thompson was a yachting enthu? siast and established the Atlantic Yacht Club $5,000 prize for the race to Bermuda. JOSEPH A.
