Manila May 2 Capt Michael Spellman Lieut Delbert R Jones and Surgeon Dudley T Welch of Company G Forty third Infantry stationed at Massin Southern Leyte have been arrested on charges of trading in permits to ship hemp from closed ports. They will be tried by court martial. Prosecution against D M Carman Senator Carranza and others for trading with insurgents has been abandoned.

Sound detector of sea wrecks by Dr Joseph Schmitt
Dr Joseph Schmitt of Anticosti island devised a sound indicator to detect distant noises at sea during five ice bound months. The hooded listening device uses a funnel diaphragm and ear tubes, plus a mariner’s compass, enabling direction and location of sounds unseen by the naked ear. It began with a dry goods box hood and simple tubes and proved effective at locating hidden sounds, with strong potential for ships and lighthouses.
