John D., Jr., Makes Princely Gift to New York
tJEW YORK. When John D. Rockefeller, Jr, was a
horseback riding and cnrrlage
liioturcura up around the northern end
from that knoll one may see far up the Hudson even to the crest of Storm
King mountain on a clear day and nway southward to the bay, and far eusl
srd to Long Island, and even to tho Atlantic sweeping beyond that.
And now he lias made good his boyhood resolve, for he bus made a
formal offer to New York city of fiO-odd acres of ground In the Dyckman
region for use as a public purk, provided the city will do certain things about
connecting It with a certain other public open space, that of Fort Washington
p. irk, which lies to the southward along the river front
Mr. Rockefeller purchased three large parcels of property last full on the
f'nr upper west side. The southernmost, nnd most valuable, was the estate
f C. K. G. Billings, the noted horseman. This contains a magnificent resli
donee as well as large str.bles, garages and a swimming pool. Nest was whut
s known as the Huys property, and above that the Shaefer land. This latter
property touches Dyckman street, at Its northeast boundary.
The whole tract Is about two-thirds of a mile long. At the time of the
sale It was estimated that the purchaser must have paid about $5,000,000, but
Sir. Rockefeller suld: "The total price I paid was nothing like thut It was
within a few thousund dollurs of $2,000,000."
Merry Youths "Planted" Bones to Make a Story
ST PAUL. Whose skull? That Is the question. John neller, chief of
police of Shakopee, Minn., would like to know this, for Heller Is perplexed,
perhaps even a trifle flabbergasted, by recent developments. In this town,
where Heller has been exercising
"watchful waiting" for many moous,
there was found a few days ago a
leering skull and bones, all pointing to
death and constituting basis for an In
vestigation. From then on, according
to the best Information available, the
disciple of Sherlock Holmes hus fol
lowed his pursuit, stulking ancient
clues to fruitless end.
One day found him so busily en
paged thot an energetic telephone
rentral was unable to announce any
irreater success than "we are trying to find him." Buck of Charley Hart
Diann's butcher shop the find was made by pedestrians.
Heller began work on the case immediately.
About the first thing he did was to take charge of the skull and bones,
and citizens suld he turned them over to the coroner. Dr. H. W. Better.
Doctor Belter declared: "I haven't got them," which lends ground to the
belief that the skeleton, equipped with as ninny leg, arm, wrist nnd finger
bones as it could pick up, has reassembled Itself and Is waiting for a night
propitious for a gambol on some tin roof.
Meantime, to keep history straight and to prevent even the shadow of a
Mot from falling on the police chief's record, It Is declared thut the skull was
a human skull, but it came from a college cadaver.
As for the bones, they Included five ribs of a cat, the thigh of a Plymouth
Rock pullet the left foreleg of a dog and two vertebrae from a cow.
All were placed in the ground back of the butcher shop by Jolly youths
vho wanted to make a story.
And they made It.
Hasty Action Costs Hotel Management $2,500
PAWLING, N. Y. Mrs. Saidoe Dlsbrow nurd, wife of Robert C. Hurd,
engaged in the real estate business, recently won a verdict of $2,500 in the
supreme court at Poughkeepsie in her action for $20,000 damages against the
Astor Hotel company. New York. The
her room she threw her arms about his
neck and kissed him. He stepped Inside the room for a minute and later
emerged, going by way of the elevator to the first floor, but returned again.
When they came out and walked down the corridor they were approached
by David Mitchell Pepper, assistant manager of the hotel. Mrs. Hurd and
lier husband both testified that Mr. Pepper spoke scandalously to them
and suggested that they depart before they could further compromise the
staid "rep" of his hostelry by their bold acts.
When Mr. Hurd expostulated, according to the wife's testimony, Mr.
Pepper said:
"Well, If you are Mrs. Hurd and If he Is Mr. nurd, that puts a different
face on the matter."
Mr. Pepper and the other witnesses for the hotel maintained that the in
vestigation was conducted in a courteous manner and denied that anything
was said that could be construed as a direct accusation of unbecoming
frivolities or that any reflection wos cast upon either Mr. Hurd or Mrs. Hurd.
"Poison" Warning Effective as the Real Thing
KANSAS CITY. It was a nice garden Ernest A. Fuller had in the rear of
his home so nice, the pedigreed dogs and cats of the neighborhood made
tt a dally rendezvous, to the detriment and dilapidation of the sprouts therein,
and the impairment of Mr. Fuller's
amiability. So one day a week ago
he spent some ostentatious nioment3
In the garden and then went to the
front yard and put up n sign with big
red letters:
"Poison in this back yard. Look
out for your dogs and cats."
And the garden flourished and Mr.
Fuller beamed, but the Persians and
the Spitzes languished indoors, and
such outdoor exercises as they got was
at the end of stout, short tethers.
A delegation of neighbors waited on Mr. Fuller. In substance, he is said
to have commended them to the fact that in these crucial times of food
scarcity it behooves each and all to conserve the food supply.
Capt. John Casey of the Flora avenue police station, being consulted, sent
a patrolman to the Fuller home, in Mr. Fuller's absence.
Mrs. Fuller took down the sign. Then Mr. Fuller came home and put It
u; again and betook himself to police headquarters, which referred him to
John T. Mathls, assistant city counselor.
"Tnere is a statute which prohibits putting poison around thus," quoth
Mathls.
"Any statute against the sign?" Mr. Fuller demanded.
"I can't recollect any," Mr. Mathls conceded.
"Then that's all right," said Mr. Fuller. "There never was any poison."'

New York. Contrast of the ocean
travel of a few years ago when It was
but a pleasant and luxurious Junket,
and practically the only danger was
the remote one of Icebergs during a
certain Reason of the year, with the
thrills and perils, very real and In
tensely dramatic, that the ocean voy
ager now undergoes Is afforded In an
Interview given the New York World
by George Dwyer of this city.
In this regurd It Is one of the most
vivid first-person stories of passen
gers that have yet been recorded. Its
principal event is an actual battle
with a submarine, with the strong
possibility that the passenger steam
er sank it after firing 13 shots, to say
nothing of the revelation that It wns
the merest chance tlie slipping of a
pair of murine glasses In the hands of
the ship's lookout that revealed the
presence of the submarine and pre
vented the accurate firing by her of
a torpedo.
The publication of the nnme of the
steamship on which Mr. Dwyer un
derwent his experience Is withheld,
for on account of her many success
ful evasions of the submarines she
has been marked by the Germans as
an especial object of attack.
Mr. Dwyer has made many trips
abroad since the war began. He Is

U-Boat Two Hours Out.
"The boat on which we sailed from
Kurope." said Mr. Dwyer, "un ordi
nary six-day ship, took eleven duys to
bring us over, this being caused by
our having to lay at anchor at dif
ferent places for periods of from
twelve hours to two days, after leav
ing our dock, under admiralty orders,
while the path which hud been
mapped out for us was being cleared
of enemy undersea craft, which had
been sighted by the patrol boats

"We made our departure on a warn
spring morning, sunny but misty
Our course lay down a certain river
through which we sailed slowly
on account of the fog. In a few
hours we were over the bar and out
Into the waters of the lurking subma
rine. The vessel we were on was
armed heavily, both fore and aft, and
while everybody aboard felt a tight
ening of the nerves, there was nn at
mosphere of confidence that, if at
tacked, we would give a good account
of ourselves or our naval gun crews
would. On the bridge, at the gun
stations, everywhere, officers nnd
men kept a sharp lookout for perl
scopes. "We were only two hours out when
our first thrill was experienced. We
were feeling our wuy slowly when
suddenly the naval lieutenant on the
bridge called to the starboard crew:
'Put the gun on that!' pointing to
where a little Norwegian steamer lay
about a half a mile ahead on our
right. The gun was swung around,
but I noticed that K was not trained
on the steamer, and I asked one of the
crew what he was covering. He
pointed to a spot, and there I saw a
little ripple which moved on the water
close by the steamer. It was a sub
marine Just under the surface.
"We expected to hear the com
mand to 'fire,' but the Norwegian
steamer suddenly got In front of the
ripple, creening It from our view.
We ordered her out of the way, and
the promptly moved, but by that time
the ripple had disappeared. The spot
was watched carefully for some 'time,
but nothing more was seen.
"In the meantime, the actions of the
Norwegian ship were so suspicious
that our captain promptly sent a wire

"The rest of the day passed without
Incident, but at eight o'clock at night
while under full heavy headway, we
descried a dim light some distance In
front of us. As it got nearer we could
see that It was a destroyer. She
hailed us and asked who we were. Our
bridge answered, and she then said:
"Turn around and go back to Blank
bay. You can't go out tonight."
We Immediately turned around,
and, when within talking distance of
her, were told the reasons for our be
ing detained. A ship two hours ahead
of us had been sunk, and during that
day six submarines had been charted
in the waters for which we were
headed !
"The destroyer said she would lead
us to our anchor for the night. She
warned us to follow her wuke exact
ly, as we were In waters profusely
sown with mines. Needless to sny,
we went slowly, and straight, and an

sailor was not reassuring: 'Put two
men out Instead of one. It Is more
dangerous here than out to seu.'

continually playing, nnd out of the
darkness Morse signals occasionally

"is est mornin-g tne weather was
warm nnd clear, and the sea perfectly
calm. All around us we saw the va
rlous agencies at work to combat the
submarine, but It would not be proper
for me to mention here the methods
nnd devices that are being used.
"Along about noon we noticed some
thing of a commotion on the water
about a mile away, ships hurrying
and scurrying, and the boom of sev
eral guns being heard. Whut it was
all about we (the passengers) could
not tell, but some time later It leaked
out that it was a submarine trying to
get Into position to launch a torpedo
at us. In this "aim she was frus
trated by the vigilance of the patrol
and aircraft, which forced her away
from the locality.
'Periscope I'
"At five that evening we got word
to sail. We had no escort, being left
entirely to the protection of our own
guns. As we passed out to sea we
were surprised to note un utter ab'
sence of war or aircraft of any de
scription. It assuredly did not con
duce to our peace of mind. Our ship
was all eyes. Wherever you looked
there were lookouts, nnd passengers
vied with ship officers and men in
scanning the waters.
"At seven o'clock the lookout on the
port gun startled us all with the cry
of 'Periscope!' It was on the star
board side at the time, and we rushed
ncross the deck tn time to hear the
lieutenant from the bridge call:

WAR FACTORY OF 13,000
ARISES IN 18 MONTHS
London. Leading Germans
admit that England's industrial
mobilization for war was quick
er and more efficient than Ger
many's. What draws this aston
ishing statement from England's
enemies may be Judged from the
following description of a single
munitions factory, a plant in
Scotland, recently inspected by
King George:
"Eighteen months ago the fac
tory did not exist; today It em
ploys more than 3,000 men and
0,000 women operatives and a
staff of 700 men and nearly 500
women, while 10.Q00 men are
still engaged in completing its
construction.
"It comprises an area of 12
square miles and has an internal
light railway system of nearly
100 miles. Two townships have
been built up by the munitions
department for the workpeople.

The eggs cost at least one-third less

less than ten seconds we had fired our
first shell at her.
"Passengers hurried for their life
preservers, but no one wns unduly ex
cited. Rome say the first Nhell we
fired hit her, but that was something
no one could tell. At any rat our
guns continued to flre for sev or
'eight minutes, letting go thirteen
shells In all, and after that, there be
ing no further sign or sight of the U-
boat, we continued on our way.
The captain of our ship, at the first
warning, started to hit a tlgzag
course, and all the other measures
now used on liners to circumvent the
undersea boats were brought Into
play while the danger threatened.
Some of these measures are very
novel and ingenious and have helped
other ships as well as ours In warding
off attneks. It was the opinion on
board that to escape as we did, with
the periscope so near us was miracu
lous.
The man who sighted the pert-
scope was tne iookoui on xne pm
gun. He had been scanning the
waters some time with his glasses
and was about to lay them down for
a minute's rest. However, a whim
struck him to first count some ships
which lay together at anchor close to
the shore. He called to his mates as
he did so, beginning: 'One two'
then his glasses accidentally slipped In
his grip and fell on the precise spot
where the periscope was Just poking
up Its nose. He was so surprised
and taken aback that It was some sec
onds before he could blurt out 'Pert
scope I' No one else saw it, and
It Is certain that If he did not spot tt
at the moment he did tt would have
gained the necessary time to swing
Into position to launch Its torpedo.
Ruses to Lure Victims.
"The reninlnder of our trip passed
without exciting incident, although
we received the usual scares that are
passing up and down the ocean these
days.
"One of the ruses of submarines to
lure ships to destruction is to fit a
false exterior to the submarine and
equip her with a sail to iresent the
appearance of a small fishing bont.
Another Is to put a collapsible lifeboat
in the water filled with dummy fig
ures to look like the survivors of a
torpedoed ship and hide the periscope
behind her. Another Is to enpture a
small vessel, put an officer nboard and
maneuver her to conceal from an ap
proaching ship the half-submerged
submarine which lies alongside.
There are others which tt would not
be proper to disclose. A favorite
strategy of the submarine, which,
however, can only be worked at cer
tain hours of the day, Is to lay well
off In the path of the sea and when
a ship Is seen and her course and
speed noted, to submerge and come up
suddenly at a convenient angle and
torpedo her."

PARAGON OF DOGS
Steamboat Captain's Pet Was in
Class by Itself.
One Performance, However, Brought
Argument Whether He Was Wisest
of His Kind or Plain
' Canine Fool.
The bulldog of tho Esmeralda, packet
freighter for the settlements between
Portland and Murhlas, In Intelligence
and accomplishments, Is reckoned n
paragon of dogs. In Portland he walks
uptown with the captain and returns
alone with any purchases and newspa
pers which may be Intrusted to him.
He even brings bnck meat, and this
quota of self-restraint puts him In a
class by himself, Holman Day writes
In Harper's Magazine,
One day, according to legend, this
doj was actor In an affair which has
been debated warmly ever since: It
gives rise to the argument whether the
doj Is the wisest of his generation or
Jufjt a plain canine fool. There Is no
middle ground among the disputants
nlc.ng the water front. The event Itself
was sufficiently grotesque to merit
mention.
The captain decided to test the dog's
Intelligence as a shopper. Therefore
he put a coin Into a basket which he
hitched to the animal's collar, and then
rapped his knuckles on an outspread
newspaper, getting the dog's undivided
nttentlon. Lastly, he pointed up the
wharf nnd told the dog to "Git !" Fldo
obeyed with alacrity nnd went up
the wharfs roadway In a cloud of dust.
At the head of the long whnrf there
wns a bold terrace of a little park
whose Irish caretaker had turned out
to graze his pair of pet goats, hitched
together with a short leosh. The dog
dashed up the terrace nnd overtook the
frightened gonts, setting his Jaws on
the leather leash with his best grip.
The goats leaped from the embank
ment, carrying the dog with them, and
landed on a fruit peddler's dozing
horse, a gont on each side, like saddle
bags; the leash held, and so did the
hufldog. Down the wharf went tho
outfit, and the terrified horse did not
pause when he renched the end ; he
leaped over the rail of the Esmeralda
nnd went flat on deck In a tangle of
hnrness, gonts nnd dog.
After matters had been set right, In
cluding pay to the fruit merchnnt and
apologies to the gont owner, the cap
tain took Fldo to one side nnd dispar
aged his Intelligence, rapping his
knuckles once more on the newspaper
nnd Informing the canine shopper that
lie had not been sent for gonts or bn-
nnnns.
"Just a minute, sir!" brohe In the
."ook, who was listening. "Do you no
tice what you hnve heen rapping your
hand on?"
The enptoln looked at the sheet. It

"And what disposition made the

Helmets 8ave Soldiers' Lives.
A British medical correspondent
commenting upon some recent French
statistics, says: "Out of 55 cases of
head injury It was found, for exum
ple, that 42 occurred In soldiers who
wore no helmets. Among the 42 there
were 23 fractured skulls. The remain
ing 19 cases suffered from severe scalp
wounds. Among the 13 cases which
wore helmets there was not a single
fracture 'of the skull; eight showed
some concussion effects, and five hnd
slight wounds. A considerable num
ber of the unprotected cases died;
none of the protected died. The most
significant fact which has emerged
since the helmet was Introduced was
emphasized by Doctor Koussy at the
Academy of Medicine lust year. He
said that the percentage of cases show
ing wounds in the head had Increased.
The reason was, of course, that the
number of sudden deaths from the
cause had markedly decreased."
Children's Music.
We need more good music for chil
dren. We need music thnt will do
more than entertain them with Mother
Goose tales and simple incidents of
nature life. We need music which, In
the days when they are wax to receive
and marble to retain, will lift and In
spire them to the real thoughts thut
are deep In our own hearts.
The great sentiments, the great
truths are simple. They are not too
hard for children. Many of these
things can be understood by children
alone. In our educution we have
erred. We wait too long to tell our
children the big things of life. We
clutter them up with trifles. So also
In music.

How Germans Attack.
It has frequently been stated of late
that the German troops attack In mnsi
formation even In the fnce of machln
gun nnd shell Are, a policy little short
of suicidal under conditions of modern
warfare. A Dutch army officer whe
has been nn observer on the fronl
says that this Is not strictly so. H
states that the attack has the appear
ance of a mass attack because It Is
composed of successive waves of In"
fantry. The rear waves are kepf In
close formation to heighten the morale
of the troops, but the attack Is not
a mass attack, strictly speaking. The
Germans charge In close order when
they have located what they consider
the weak spot In the line of defense.
