MRS. CLARENCE HANDYSIDE.
Mrs. Clarence Handyside, of New York, who is a survivor of the Sussex,
has arrived home. ' Mrs. Handyside was one of the few women on the Sussex.
Her story is one of the most graphic accounts of the torpedoing of the Sussex
that has vet reached this country. Mrs. Handyside said that she was seated
on the deck of the Sussex between Mr., and Mrs. Granados when the crash
came. She said that the Granados leaped overboard and were lost. A rope
was tied around her waist and she was lowered over the side but a big wave
washed the small boat away and she was dangling in the air until a coal
passer hauled her through-a port hole. She said that she had saved the life
of 'a 16-year-old Belgian soldier after the crash.

Martin Egan Relates of Detective's
Work Whereby Alleged Ship
ment of Ammunition to
Mexico Was Revealed.
NEW YORK, May 26. Martin Egan,
of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., testifying-
today at a John Doe inquiry
into police wire tapping, said that De
tective "William J. Burns had reported
to him that he had found the name of
a former agent of Captain Boy-ed in
Information the detective uncovered
as to the affairs of the firm of Sey
mour & Seymour. lie also testified
that Burns had learned from the same
cource of an alleged shipment of am
munition to Mexico.
Mr. Egan said that this information
nas reported by the detective during
the effort made by Burns In behalf or
the Morgan firm to locate an alleged
leakage of information as to munition
contracts from the Morgan firm to the
Seymour firm.
Mr. Kgan said he assumed Burns had
reported the matter to the Federal
authorities.
No Tapping; Orders Given.
Mr. Egan denied that his firm, or
any persons connected with It, had re
quested that the telephone wire of the
office of Seymour & Seymour be
tapped.
"Was there any foreign government
Interested in any way so far as you
know?" asked the District Attorney.
" No," replied the witness, who added
that no one beside his firm was in
terested in the matter and denied that
Mexican affairs had anything to do
with the case.
Mexican Shipment Related.
Burns, however, told me one day
that he had information, I think, as
result of dettaphone, as to a ship
ment of cartridges to Mexico.
Referring again to Burns activities
in behalf of the Morgan firm and the
tapping of the Seymour wire by the
police, Mr. Kgan said he thought the
police and Burns co-operated.
"Deputy Police Commissioner Lord
knew that Mr. Burns was in the case.'
continued the witness. "Mr. Burns had
produced a great deal of evidence and
is now working on some other evi
dence. 1 should be glad to deliver it
to the District Attorney or to the po
lice department, but I think It would
defeat the ends of Justice."

GROWING CROPS NO ASSETS
Bankruptcy Ruling in Case
Farmers Is Given Out.
of
BUTTE. Mont., May' 28 Growing
crops cannot be considered as assets of
bankrupt farmers, according to a de
cision of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, affirming a recent
ruling by Judge George M, Bourquln In
the federal District Court here.
The original decision was made in
the case of R. S. Miller and S. A. Lartg
dorf. farmers, who In filing petitions
in bankruptcy failed to list growing
crops. The referee held that the crops
were assets. Judge Bourquln ruled
that the bankrupts had assumed all the
risk of failure and the trustee in the
case none, so that in justice the farm
ers were entitled to whatever success
they achieved.
