The central board consists mainly of ministers, and Mr, Mortenson says that he pre- fers business men to clergymen on the directorate, claiming that much of the success of the orphanage has heen due to the pFesence of business men on the board. ‘The resignations were tendered luring Morday's sesslon of tite con- erence, but news of the action wad ‘ot made public until yesterday, tev, G, E.

GERMAN SPY TALE Washington Man Adumits Having Dug Strange Tannels Washington, Sept, 27.—The “baf- fling mystery” of the labyrinth of underground passageways discover- ed last Wednesday in an exclusive residential section of the capital, a rison G. Dyar, a quiet and unassum- ing individual employgd as an en- tomologist in the Smithsonian insti- tution, put an end to feverish gpecu- lations that ran the gamut {from German spies to hootleggers, con- spirators and what not, when he told a newspaper reporter he dug the passageways for recréation after office hours. “Digging tunnels after work is my hobby; there's really no mystery about it,” Mr. Dyar was quoted as saying when he rather reluctantly told the story to quiet the agitations of the imaginative which have been filling the local press ever since the wheelers of a motor truck sank through a crust of éarth and re- vealed the tunnels. The scientist explained that he found cave digging a helpful form of exercise as well as an entertainment for his young son, The passageways, on Which he worked for a period of 10 years, were now nearly 10 years old, he said, having been constructed on property he owned in the rear of a house from which he has since moved. Mr. Dyar had no explanation for the presence in the tunnels of Ger- man newspapers which bore dates in 1917, after his disposal of the prop- erty and which gave the chief im- petus to the German spy theory.
