Hsnry Reuterdahl, who made the eaarges against the navy that have stirred the country, arrived here af ter making the trip with the battle ship fleet. - la an Interview with the Hearst Naws Service correspondent he de clared that President " Roosevelt himself was the navy's original ac cuser. He said: ' "Regarding my reply to the asser tions made by the chief of the bu reau of construction that my article in the January McClure's was in all instances Incorrect, and as to the statement, made by the president in his letter to Admiral Brownson, la belling it as 'maliciously untruthful,' I can only say that when the proper time comes I will make the proper answer. Having been at sea with the fleet for three months, I am naturally out of touch with what has occurred in Washington. "I have learned, however, that the president has ordered Admiral Capps and Admiral Converse to officially refute my statements. These criti cisms, all and every one, have previ ously been made by various naval offlers and to the navy are as old as the hills. The president has for many years been aware of the actual condition in our naval construction and to quote the Army and Navy Register of January 11, 'Mr. Roose velt himself not long ago was found beating the air around naval bureau cracy and asserting the need of naval reforms.'. "My article has had its effect. I have been abused, called names and officially elected to the Ananias Club, but I think that the future will find our new ships with armor belt In its proper place. "As a marine artist, it makes no difference to me where our armor belts are. I am entirely disinterest ed. This cannot be said about the constructors."

AGA FAITHLESS MAN I BURIED ALIVE DY GIRL & LOVER How Some Rooting Pigs LIter- ally "Unearthed" A Horrible Crime in South Italy VAIN EFFDRTB:OF ,fiDEAD" I'niiiistakable Signs That Occupant of Grave Awoke and Vainly Strug gled to Resurrect Himself Rival Suitor Confesses That He and the Girl Lured Him to Her Home Where He Was Drugged and Then Huried Alive by Them, After the Old Father Hud Died of the Shock Which the Daughter's Story Caused Particulars of the Terri ble Fate of Young Italian Who Won the Love of a Girl and Then llctrayed Her. ( By Cable to The Times.) Rome, March 14 Pigs rooting in a grave in Calabria, Southern Italy, have brought, to light a remarkable story of love and tragedy which cost four lives. A farmer, whose swine had been in the cemetery was driv ing them out when he observed that they had been digging about a new made grave and he was surprised to see the two arms of a man protrud ing from the earth. In this grave, a short time before, had been burled the body of Giovanni Avellone, a rich old landowner. His death was caused bv the .storj .told TilmTiy his beautiful daughter, Lucy. She had related, only when the birth of a baby made further concealment . impossible, that Andrew Campanl, whom she had loved, had promised to marry her, betrayed her and then re fused to marry her. The shock had caused her aged father's death from heart failure, Startling Discovery. So, when the authorities came to dig up the body, which they believed had been uncovered by the pigs, they assumed that it was that of Avel lone. To their surprise it proved to be the body of young Campanl and there were unmistakable proofs that he had been burled alive, that when : under the ground he awoke from a drugged stupor and fought violently' to free himself, pushing his arms up through the earth. Then he could do no more and was quickly smoth ered. . . This accounts for the mysterious disappearance of the young rival suit or about a week ago. No one could account for his absence. Yesterday he was discovered and confessed. Remarkable Story of Love and Revenge. His confession bared a most re markable story of tragic revenge. Af ter the burial of her father Lucy Av ellone called this young man to her and together they lured Campanl to her home. There his wine was heav-, ily drugged and after midnight, while he lay in a stupor, the girl and the young man carried him to the cemetery. Her. father's casket was dug up and buried again under the door stops of his home and into the grave the living body of Campanl was dumped and the couple covered il with earth. Lucy Avellone told the young man t0 g0 to nla "me and return in ten da3'"' whon Bnoaid,.if she was alive, wuld marry him. The ten days had not expired when, the tragedy was discovered. There followed a search for Lucy Avellone and her baby. They had 'not been seen for two days about the handsome 'Avellone estate. Had they left the province it would have been noted. A searching party came upon the dead bodies of the girl-mother and her baby in a well in the garden of the Avellone estate. A note under a stone in the wall of the well told the story. Ordinary Death Too" Good For Her Iletrayer. She related how she had drugged Campanl, not to kill him by such an easy and merciful method, but to render him temporary senseless so that Bhe could place him alive into the grave to which he had sent ber father.
