' Four Pennsvlvanians were taken

thirty-five to fortv Delaware residents.
Two of the Pennsvlvanians were fined

Henle was shot when he attempted tn
make a "get-awav" while being taken
to the home of Justice of the Peace
Sutton for a healing
"He was an escaping priboner and
I had a right to shoot." said C'on
stahle Gam. "However, I did not shoot
at him. Four of the shots were fired into
the air to halt him and the fifth hit
the cement road. It glanced and hit
the prisoner."
Officials of the Delaware Automobile
Association said they believe Gam could
be convicted of malfeasance on several
counts. They contend that even if
Henle was speeding above the limit he
was guilty of onlv a misdemeanor and
not a felony, and that therefore the
constable had no right to shoot him.
Henle is said to have accused the
constable of attempting to hold "road
side court" before he asked for a hear
ing. This was denied by Gam.
The two motorists', organizations,
which have waged war against "speed

the result of the advertisement. If
Henle's statement is supported by other
evidence it was said that a determined
effort would be mede to have (be con

BOY SEALS LIPS
IN MURDER CASE
Refuses to Make Further State
ment Concerning Murder of
Gardiner C. Hull
Silence is being maintained by Ed
ward Earl Paige as he sits in his cell
at Mojamensing Trison awaiting ex
tradition to New- York on the charge of
being an accomplice in Hie murder of
Gardluer C. Hull, a business man, of
that city. '
The nineteen-year-old boy, who con
fessed his part in the crime when he
was arrested here at a Market street
hotel several days ago. has made no
statement since that time.
When questioned by detectives at
City Hall after his arrest, Paige said
that his only share in the crime was
that he nnd Edward O'Brien, another
youth, who is the alleged murderer,
split the money stolen from Hull. This is
borne out by O'Brien, who is now in
detention at Freehold. N. J., and in
his confession lie snys that the only
part in the murder taken by Paige was
to stand in the corner and look on.
Paige and O'Brien are supposed to
have met for the first time in Provi
dence when they were confined there In
an institution for bovs Paige was com
mitted there when he was three years
old nnd O'Brien wns sent there after
being convicted of having swindled u
man out of a sum of money They made
their escape fiom there together and
went to the home of O'Brien's sister at
Montclnir, N. J., nnd later went to
New- Yoik, where they finally entered
the emplov of Hull, It is said that
the robbery was planned as far back as
October.
O'Brien, who is only seventeen ears
old. has lost the bravado that chainc
terized the first dajs of his confine
ment, and seems to be beginning to
realize his serious position. Ife ex
presses regret that he should have
caused his mother this great worry.

DOG HAS NARROW F5PAOJT
Patrolman's Poor Aim Helps Animal
to New Lease on Life
A crowd of sympathetic men and
women gathered around the still foim
of a dog on the pavement nt Maikle
and Terrace streets, 'it had been stmck
by nn automobile.
The dog hovjled. but was unable ft
move its body. Xhe crowd decided hi
back was broken, and tlicie weie calls
for a patiolmnn. A rope was tied
around the dog for some unexplaiued
reason.
"Danny" Ferguson, once a pugilist
of this city and now a Mnnajunk pa
trolman, arrived with Pntinimuu Mmncs
Ennis. It was decided that the clog
should die suddenly lather than suffer
n lingering death. Ennis Kept the crowd
back and "Dann.v" drew n new tevol
ver fiom his pocket. He hnd purchased
it when he returned to the fence uftei
serving in the navy during the war The
patrolman grabbed the rope in one hand
and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The dog howled louder.
"Bang!"
The second shot went through the
lOpe. The dog was free and knew it.
It started off. "Danny," in pursuit,
shouted: "I'll get hlni yet!"
But "Danny" didn't. Tlio dog was
apparently only stunned vvhen str.uck
by the auto.

AIRPLANE SPRUCE
Captain McGrath Refutes
Charge U. S. Paid Exorbitant
Prices for Lumber
ONLY BEST USED, HE SAY9
Denial of charges that exorbitant
prices were paid by the government
f- ,....., . ....
-". riuui-e iiimner nnci mat only a
small percentage uas available for alt
plane use, is made today by Captain
E. J McGrath, Oak Lane, n certified
public nccountant. with offices in the
Colonial Trust Building
Captain MeOrath, in his connection
with the I'nited StateR air service,
spent several months in the lumber
camps of the Northwest Investigating'1"'!
xuiimi unci was in position to know
enctly what prices were paid as well
as the quality of the w-ood furnished
and the conditions attending its cutting
nnd pieparntion for use.
"It is untrue." snld Captain Mc
Grath, "that the government paid .$030
a thousand feet for spruce lumber, only
.) per cent of which was available for
ah plane use, when private lumber men
weie selling the same grade for 5175
a thousand feet.
Accounts Complied
"t'nder my direction the cost ac
counts of the spruce production divi
sion of the signal corps, which later
became the 1'nited States Spiuce Pro
duction Corporation, were compiled.
"Instead of S0."0 a thousand feet be
ing the nclage cost of airplane lum
ber to June ;i0. mis. from the be
ginning of opciations the cost approxi
mated S.130. Afterward It grow less.
This S330 includes $1L0 for amortiza
tion of-special facilities, which had to
be constiucted and which, it was tiro
posed by amortization, to repay in ten
or eleven months.
"In nddition must be deducted the
side cut lumber iinulted for airplane
pin poses, which we estimated at $1S a
thousand feet.
"The Sfi."i0 criticized cost was an al
located billing price for the very best
lumber, nnd wns so fixed to reflect the
value of that giade over lumber that
could be used for airplane purposes
but did not have to be such perfect ma
terial. "It cost as much as to get out Grade
A, commeicial lumber, because the gov
ernment demanded straight grain, free
of all impel fections, for this work.
As to the nllegntion that only i" per
t(M,t of the lumber purchased was avail-
able for government work, this must
apply to spruce production purchased
tiom private couccrns before the gov
crnment began producing the lumber it
self. Economy in Long Run
"The lumbernt the Vancouver cut
ting plant lan '40 to 0(1 p-r cent ac
ceptable This was real economy in,
the lon run. The irnvoi nmnut ,. f i

touch nuicli. of the business. They
li ..
coiiki not suppij tne demand, and the
diOle ult conditions attending the work
of felling and tinnspoi ting the stock
were too much for them. The country
fiom which the spruce is gathered H
wild, the loads nie bad and rains are
fiequent. 'I have seen horses laboring
in mud up to their bellies hauling the
timber to the mills.
"The government did selective log
ging. It went into a tract, spotted
the tiees that looked likely and left
the others standing.
"Consequent! it got the pick of the
mate iali wheic comnieiclnl concerns in
the same business would clear an entire
tinct.
"Criticism that is being mnele that
concerns oiit-ide of lumbermen were en
gaged b.v the gocinmeiit appear to
me to be ill-founded. It might apply
iin well to Mr. Schwab, who had never
built a ship, or Mr. I.von, who had
never built an airplane. In the press of
war neces-itv such meu as were avail
able weie selected.
"Changes in polio were due to
change of necessities. The Allies de
manded more ail plane lumber. When
conditions were explained to the al
lied governments as to costs they were
satisfied.
"M. ntatemonts to the War Depart
ment showing costs up to June DO, Tuly
1, and August .11. 101S. with average
osts thereafter will verify these State
ments, nnd 1 think, will answer all
'liticism."
