House Appropriation Also Cats
Personnel to 11,000 Officers
and 115,000 Men.
500 IN WATCH ON RHINE
Troops in Panama and Hawaii
Cost More Than Whole
Army After Spanish War.
Wash ixoton, March 18.?With pro
visions which would necessitate reduc
tion of the slee of the Regular Army to
115,000 enlisted men and 11,000 officers,
the army appropriation hill, carrying
J270.363.030.67 was reported to-day by
the House Appropriations Committee.
The amount recommended for the
military and non-mllltary activities of
the War Department during the coming
fiscal year Is a reduction of $116,000,000
from the total appropriated for the cur
rent year and $87,996,08?.80 less than
budget estimates.
The bill requires the return to the
United States by next July 1 of all troops
stationed In China, 6,50 } men from
Hawaii, about 2,000 men from the Pan
ama Canal Zone and all but 500 officers
and men In the army of occupation on
the Rhine. There Is no limitation of the
number of men in the Philippines.
The withdrawals would leave 5,000
men In the Hawaiian Islands and 6,000
in the Canal Zone. The present actual
stTength^of the army was given by the
committee as about 13,000 officers and
132.000 men, exclusive of 7,000 Philip
pine scouts.
Cuts In Appropriation*.
An appropriation of $17,635,260 Is
recommended for continuance of work
on various river and ' arbor improve
ments, for which the chief of engineers
requested $43,000,000; $12,431,000 for
the nir service, against $15,000,000 re
quested, and $21,130,200 for the Na
tional Guard, about $9,001,000 less than
budget estimates.
The committee recommended $500,
000 for the chemical warfare service,
declaring that sum sufficient. Ar ap
propriation of $2,750,000 is recom-i
mended for supplies and equipment of
the Reserve Officers' Training Corps and
$1,800,000 for civilian military training
camps.
The bill carries $7,740,090 for tha
Ordnance Department to meet. In addi
tion to other expenses, the cost of main
taining a skeleton force a< arsenals "to
keep alive the knowledge of the method
of manufacture."
The amount carried in the bill for sea
coast fortifications goes entirely for
maintenance of exlfltlng defense* and
constructing a limited number of sea
coast gune. The total recommended for
river and harbor Improvements is about
$15,000,000 less than the amount sought
by the chief of engineers. None of it
will he expended on now projects.
For the subsistence of the army the
committee recommended $16,550,000,
$13,000,000 less than last year, the de
crease being due to a reduction to thirty
cents per ration.
RiprnnlTC Administration.
The sub-committee, which epent three
months In holding hearings and framing
the bill, reported that "the excessive cost
of maintaining the regular army over
pre-war expenditures" was found to be
largely due to the "expensive methods
of Its administration."
"It flpcrns to bo the policy of thf*
Oeneral Staff to station full divisions in
Hawaii and Panama," the report said.
"Except In times of emergency It Is not
believed su"h a policy Is justified, as II
will cost as much to maintain these two
divisions In Panama and Hawaii as our
entire regular army cost us in the years
following the Spanish war."
Commenting on the cost of maintain;
Ing troops on the Rhine, the committt*
calls attention to Germany's failure to
pay the cost. The committee also de
clared that "no adequate reason has
been shown for the maintenance of any
troops in fCTilna."
An annroprlatlon of $426,000 1s rec
ommended for the construction, repair
and maintenance cut roads, forldgcs an>i
trail* in Alaska.
The bllt also provides $6,670,000 for
prosecution of flood control work on th?
Mississippi River and $400,000 for sim
ilar activities on the Sacramento River.

NAVY OF 96,000 MEN
IS DENBY'S MINIMUM
Says That Is Lowest Figure
for Safety.
ffperlal PUpatrh to Th? N'nw York Hbkai.d.
Ynrk Herald ltnre?ti. )
Washington. D. C.. Marrli IX f
In his hearings before the House Ap
propriations Committee Secretary
Denby made nn earnest plea for a fight
ing force of 96,000 men to man the ton
nage allotted to the United States under
the treaties negotiated by the Arma
ment Conference.
It was learned to-day, however, that;
members of the committee have pre
pared a bill cutting appropriations and
personnel below the line of safety as
fixed by the Secretary.
Economies of man-power already have
been put Info effect by the Navy De
partment, Secretary Denby attempted
to show, In anticipation of the desire
of Contrress. The request for 96.000 men,
he said, represents the smallest navy
personnel that Is practicable.
Ship crews have been s'rlpp*?d to a
.skeleton, he told the committee. Every,
man left aboard now In a specialist and
practically Indlapensa/hle. Mr. Denby
admitted that the number of men al
lotted to each ship la much larger than
In 1914. but the litilp totals are smaller
than theories of naval warfare demand.
This Increase, the Secretary ex
plained. was duo to the Installation of
elirht anti-aircraft runs on each battle
ship, with their WWW* and Are control
operators: the activity of cubmarlnes
requiring full crews oa all gims and ad
ditional lookouts; the Installation of
upeeial Are control Instruments and op
erators; Installation of several types of
radio apparatus requiring experts, and
the Increased activities In gun turret*
requiring thirty-two more men each, aat
developed from experience with the
Grand Fleet.
Touching on the submarine problem.
It was said that of the 141 In the navy

126 retained. These ve*?els, It was ex
plained. operate?even the largest "8"

templates keeping all In commission with
a two-thirds crew.
A request for authority to construct
two C3.000 ton airplane carriers to
round out the United States naval al
lotment of 18R.OOO tons was made. Pres
ent plans contemplate the construction
of three such ships, one to be completed

VICTIMS OF SWINDLE
COULD SEE REAL GOLD
IN SEA WATER BUCKET
Deposed New England Minister Deluded Thousands of
Small and Large Investors Before 'New York
Herald' Punctured His Bubble of Extracting
Metal From Ocean by Secret Process.
This Is the second article of a series supplementary to the
revelations of the general crookedness of the bucket shops which
The New Yobk Herald has recently published. These articles will
set forth the operations of some of the famous swindlers and give
detail's of swindling schemes in the past. How these men preyed
upon the public should not be forgotten. Another article in this
'series will be published at an early date.
In the minds of how many New Englanders of the older generation
did The New York Herald's exposure of the present day bucket shop
and confidence man awaken memories of the Rev. Prescott F. Jernegan.
the genius who extracted gold from sea water?
What a sensation he was! And what a raw fake was his! How the
unthinking youth of today will scoff when It hears the Jernegan story.
It is quite true that It does not soand reasonable that this eccentric clergy
man (he was all but a lone worker) should have coaxed more than
$900,000 out of the pockets of poor investors by the most glaring of
frauds. Yet, the get-rich-quick prestidigitators of the hour are little If
any more subtle.
Besides, Jernegan's scheme had the virtue of the open air and the
glamour of the romantic sea> You saw the machinery operating. You
saw mercury lowered in a bucket lnto'^
the surf and you saw It hauled up
with the mercury laden with gold.
That is more than you get in a bucket
sh?P
The Rev. P. F. Jernegan occupied
the pulpit of a Baptist Church In Mld
dletown, Conn. He wbb regarded as
somewhat eccentric. His sermons
were sensational In a day when to de
part from the literal word of the
gospels was heresy not to be condoned
nor even tolerated. Eventually he
preached a sermon wherein he took
exception to the New Testament ver
sion of the resurrection and his con
gregation expelled him. Then followed
several years In which the activities
and trace of him is lost.
Forma Marine Salt" Company.
But in September, 1896, Presoott F.
Jernegan appeared in the small towns
of New England hawking the stock
of whaj became the Electrolytic Ma
rine Salts Company. His headquar
ters consisted of a hemlock shack at
Nlantlc and his song was simple- He
had, he assured the lambs, discovered
a simple process whereby an electric
current properly applied to meretiry
submerged In the salt water of the
open sea would produce gold or, to be
more accurate, would attract the free
gold that every one believed to abound
in the ocean's water. Of course, the
process was a secret. Jt was Jerne
Kan's own brain child and. naturally
enough, it must be preserved to its
discoverer. Nothing could be fairer
than that, surely.
Subsequently The New York (Heralp
unmasked Jernegan and his scheme,
thereby saving thousands and may e
millions of dollars for credulous sal
aried folk and small business men who
were clamoring for an opportunity to
got rich quickly with Jernegan. Herein
the facts given to the public by The j
New YoffcK Herald (facta adequately
proved and which caused Jernegan to
sneak off to Europe) will be ad
hered to.
It seems that William Phelan. a de
tective. was approached by one Charles
R Fisher, by profession a deep sen
diver, who, at the time was engaged
as a floor walker in a Brooklyn depart
ment store. Phelan. a big. sturdy fel
low. was desired for his strength of
arm and his keenness of eye and mind.
With him safely within the poheme
physical safety would be assured- But
Fisher did not say this to Phelan. He
told the detective that this man Jerne
gan had perfected a scheme whereby
the free gold in the water of the oceans
might be collected by electrolysla
Would Phelan care to be made rich?
Phelan, being quite human, agreed
to give the scheme the benefit of his
personal observation and Fisher took
him to Jernegan in Nlanttc. Two Mid
dletown. Conn., business men. one a
florist and the other a jeweler, had
acreed to give Jernegan the necessary
financial start provided a demonstra
tion indicated the venture to be worth
while. But Jemegan's name in Con
necticut was somewhat below par and
he decided to move to Rhole Tsland.
Later on it found what was to be its
permanent plant in Lubec, Me.
Glib Tongrne Win* Victims.
It must be explained flrst. however,
that long before Jernegan staged Ms
demonstration for the Middletown
business men In Narragansett Bay he
had canvassed New England and bv
the mere lightness of his tongue, had
taken the pledges and money of sev- |
oral hundred clergymen, school teach
ers. women with small annuities and
even supposedly shrewd business men. I
Apparently he applied such moneys
immediately to his personal wants, for
when Phelan was Introduced to him
he was quite penniless. Moreover, he
was worrvlng lest the two Middletown
prospects should not be satisfied with
the coming demonstration. It is more
or less difficult to gauge the precise
amount Jernegan extracted from the
gullible public, Inasmuch as he kept
no hooks.
However, the demonstration was
quite a success. At the end of a wharf
extending from a small rocky Island
near the shores of Narragansett Bay
a rough, three sided shack had been
erected. In the floor of the pier a trap
door had been cut permitting anything
lowered therefrom to sink Into nine
feet of water. Within the shark was i
a windlass to be used to lower and
hoist the bucket. Furthermore, there j
was a home made electric battery and
a good sized box Inclosing the mys
tery. The mystery, of course, was
Jemegan's. Later on it developed
that the box contained nothing but
metal Junk, but It looked Impressive
from the 'butslde.
From the home made battery ex
tended several platinum wlr^s which
ran mysteriously through the plnnk
it-tr of the nler* nf course. th< y were
n erely a part of the general ^n^_"rn'
but they, too, seemed impressive.
From a wharf on the mainland, and
> ?
not far from the island, ran a cable
which extended to one of the pilings
of the island pier. The trap door in
the pier floor was so located that a
bucket or other container lowered into
the water therefrom would descend
into the arms of any person at the
end of the submarine cable.
A few hours before the demonstra
tion was to be made for the benefit of
the capitalists Jernegan, Fisher, Phe
lan and the two Mlddletown business
mon met in a Providence hotel. They
would wait until dark. It might take
all night to effect the miracle. Secrecy
wits desirable. Phelan, somewhat con
vinced that there was a measure of
bunoombe in the whole scheme, but
desiring to see It through before de
ciding what to do, had been over the

On the preceding day he had- gone
down to the shore with Fisher and
helped the latter to don a diving
armor. He knew nothing of the sub
marine cable at the time, but was
asked by Fisher to stay on the shore
holding the life line that was to haul
Fisher to safety in case of accident.
Fisher was equipped with an oxygen i
tank. He explained that he would j
need no air pump inasmuch as he |
would bo under the water but a brief
time and that the oxygen would keep
him going for that period.
"All I'm doing Is making a scientific

some places than In others. Naturally

The party gathered on the island
pier and Jernegan was demonstrating
how anxious a father of a bright idea
can be. He was tinkering with the
lotteries and Talking Incessantly. The
two Mlddletown business men wore al
most as nervous as Jernegan. They j
had fetched the necessary chemicals. |

they dumped into the bucket. Fisher j
and Phelan were missing. They were J
on the pier on the mainland.
At a stated time Fisher clad in his
diving armor lowered himself into the
water and when Phelan asked him how
he was going to make his survey in
I the night he told of the cable connect
ing the piers. He would follow this, he
said. Phelan said nothing, but took
hold of the life line and watched
F isher disappear. Fisher's Job was an
easy one. He would grope his way
along the cable until he reached the
far end. Then the bucket would be
lowered. Into the bucket he threw
gold filings and a small gold nugget
that had been used by Jernegan in a
scarfpin. The bucket, closed by a lid,
was metal lined. The mercurial solu
tion that had been placed in the bucket
before it was lowered absorbed the
gold.
As soon as Fisher had "salted the

United States Supreme Court
Rules State Order Is
Confiscatory.
WAfliitNciTow. March 13.?The appeal
brought by the Attorney-General of New
York and the District Attorney of Kings
county to lwve reviewed the decision of
the United States District Court in the
Brooklyn Union Gas^ Company case
holding: the statutory gas rates of New
York confiscatory was dismissed to-day
by the Supremo Court
The action of the court in the Brook
lyn Union case was based on the Su
preme Court's decision on the Consoli
dated Gas Company cases. In which It
held the rates fixed by the State were
confiscatory.
The State and Brooklyn city official!
sought to cxcept the Brooklyn Union
case from that decision by contending
that the company should have usedJ In
1918 and 1919, during: the period of
high operating1 costs, a portion of Its
"contingency" fund, which, It was as
serted, had accumulated out of Its lib
eral surplus earnings during prior pros
perous years. Had this fund been re
sorted to, they Insisted, there would
have been sufficient funds available to
bridge the company over the period
when the State rates were confiscatory.
The company asserted the surplus had
been invested in extensions and im
provements and that it was not held aa
a fund.
Issne of Mandate Asked.
Brief argument was heard by the
court on the motion made by the Con
solidated to have the mandate of the
court giving effect to its decisions of
last Monday issued immediately instead
of postponed for the customary thirty
days. The attention of the court was
directed to the fact that briefs haw
been filed asking It to rehear the Con
solidated and related cases.
Counsel for the Consolidated urged
the importance of prompt action, so that
the impounded fund would be available,
whereas counsel for the District Attor
ney of Kings county, speaking for that
offlclaT In the Brooklyn Union casesi
urg-d the court to withhold the mandate
until after it decided whether it would
reopen the cases already disposed of.
Chief Justice Taft said the court would
take the motions under consideration.
State Railroad Decision.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
was held to-day by the Supreme Court
to be without authority to authorize or
compel the abandonment of a strictly
State railroad.
Tho decision, which was handed down
in a case brought by the State of Texas
against the Eastern Texas Railroad
Company to prevent that railroad from
dismantling under an order issued by
the commission, declared that where a
railroad lies entirely within a single
State. Is owned and operated by a cor
poration of that State and Is not a part
of another line, and where its continued
operation cannot be of more than loonl
concern, the commission was without
Jurisdiction.
"Interstate and foreign commerce will
not be burdened or affected by any
shortage in the earnings, nor will any
carriers In such commerce have to bear
or make good the shortage" of the
Eastern Texas Railroad, Justice Van
Devanter stated in delivering the opin
ion, to which there was no dissent.
gold from the sea, but had failed of
cooperation because of the incidental
expense. The beauty of Jernegan's
scheme had been Its lnexpensiveness.
Business languished. Wall Street
was Jernegan's objective, but Wall
Street, having troubles of Its own at
the time, was balking. Jernegnn con
fined to canvas the country districts,
getting |100 here and as much as $500
there. Ho would take anything from
a dollar to 11,000. He saw the end in
sight and was determined upon a
cleanup.
Suddenly In the summer of 1S98 he
vanished. The stock of the Electroly
tic Marine Salts Company, which had
soared to $10, fell to 50 cents, and
i then disappeared utterly. There was
the usual scramble and the regulation
lamentation. At least $1,000,000 In
cash had found Its way Into Jernegan's
pocket Probably that much more
had been expended by capitalists to
erect the plant and meet the overhead
expenses of the exploitation during
the year that It flourished.
OTrrnhflmrd by Ilia Own Plan.
Later on It wns discovered that on?
of the reasons that Jernegan couldn't
keep going was that he had made the
mistake of growing too fast. The mo
ment he entered the bigger plant In
Lubec he found that the close liaison
between himself and his diver. Fisher,
had been interfered with. There were
! too many people Involved. It would
have been better to have kept on op
erating in a small way.
Now and then the buckets had failed
I to bring up gold. That was because
Fisher couldn't get away to salt them.
Besides it required yiore than a single
cable to guide Fisher through this
deeper water to the bucket. The big
ger the plant the more embarrassing
were the difficulties. Besides Phelan
was trying to convince the authorities
that the scheme was crooked, and it
took him a whole year to move them
to official Investigation.
So Jernettnn, overwhelmed by the
monster he had reared, fled. He
turned up in Havre with his wife and
son. He remained in France under
the name of LiOUls Sinclair and was
supposed to have taken about $300,000
with him, but so chaotic were the
affairs of the Electrolytic Marine Salts
Company that this can be but a guess.
Jernegan solicited and received sub
scriptions that the company never
; heard of.
Jernegan became Involved In several
shady deals while In Kurope. and la
| supposed to have been the victim of
schemes as wild ns his own. How
much money he lost irf only a conjec
ture, but, according to his own story
' later he Invested a certain amount In
an Kngllsh company that purported to
have found a way to extract gold from
sea water. This may or may not be
the truth.
The fact is, however, that the Amer
ican authorities found It impossible to
extradite Jernegan. and about 1902 he
bobbed up in the State of Washing
ton, where, under nn assumed name,
he tried to get a position teaching
school. Somehow or other his Iden
tity became known and he fled to Man
itoba. In 1903 he went to the Philip
pines, where he managed to get a
place In the Manila Normal School at
a salary of 11.500 a year.
He left that post within a year and
there the trail ends. This much Ift
known: When Jernegan appeared?in
Manila he was penniless.
