THURSDAY, JULY 19,-1923. WPADQO DETAILS FELATIONS WT SHIPPING FAM Received $50,000 Fee For Legal Services From Morse, He Says. WASHINGTON, July 19.—William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury under the Wilson administration, de talled before a jury in federal court here his relations, as counsel, with Charles W. Morse and his business associates who are on trial charged with war time shipping frauds. ‘The former treasury head said his law firm became counsel for the Morse shop bullding concern for a fixed fee for appearing for the its, and said there never for an apology. also said that he owned no stock in the Morse company and that he never had heard any of- ficial of the shipping board accuse his clients of attempting to defraud the government. McAdoo said that in addition to the payments already made, his firm held a note for legal services, which had never been paid. It also held notes for about $33,000 for brokerage fees on cargo tonnage negotiated, in addition to the $33,000 paid. District Attorney Gorton ques- tioned the witness closely about the negotiation of contracts for Italy coal shipments in the Morse fleet of mer. chant ships. “Do you know,” he asked, “whether Carlos Ruger got the 25 cents per ton deducted from the $1 per ton fee originally promised your firm?” “I have never, heard of it," Mr. McAdoo replied. The witness made the same answer when asked whether he had heard of an Italian government official being placed on the doard of directors of the United States Trans- port company at $1,000 a month. poo Londoners may soon be able to go to the Swiss Alps and back in the same day by a suggested new ‘ne of parwenger aeroplanes. eseslgtendl for heaviest duty, ; band long nt duty, hearyledings [" “Best t the Long Pom?

B. Florence, secretary of the California State Fish Exchange here. Mr. Florence says the sliced octopus ‘tentacle makes a succulent table delicacy when properly fried. While fishermen emulate Victor! Hugo and other writers of fiction by telling of terrific battles with giant devilfish, usually ending by explain- ing how the fish réached one of its eight arms above the water and wrapped {t around the boat, break- ing the craft in two, Mr. Florence and Professor Harold Heath, depart- ment of zoology, Stanford University, California, state that this is physically impossible. . Professor Heath de- scribes the octopus as being “of a shy and retiring disposition.” “The devilfish has no bones or no structure of any kind,” says Mr. Florence. “It cannot swim, but can only float on the water, or propel it- self. on the floor of the ocean by means of fastening its suckers on | a rock and pulling itself along. Each| lot the eight tentacles are covered with cup shaped suckers, and these form a vacuum when fastened on an object. Fishermen haul them out of their traps with their bare hands and throw them in boxes in a man- ner that is extremely undignified to a fish that has an age-old fictional reputation of being a man-killer and boat-smasher.”” : In the picturesque food shops that line the narrpw streets of San Fran- cisco’s colorful Chinatown, tho ten- tacles of the devilfish may be seen hanging from hooks alongside many other edibles that are strange to the native American.
