W ith two o th e r s they w e re row ing for t h e i r schooner. R y a n and Pow e rs sank, but the o th e r s swam ashore. The United States Shipbuilding Company, it was announced yesterday afternoon, has acquired the business and plant of the B e th lehem Steel Company, th e largest establish ment of its kind outside the U n ited States Steel Corporation. The announcem e n t of the purchase was made by Lew is Nixon and by Daniel Le Roy D resser, president of the T rust Company of the Republic, through which the details of the purchase were con ducted. Lewis Nixon had th is to say of the purchase; \The acquisition of the Bethlehem Steel Company by the U n ited States Shipbuilding Company is the m o st Im p o rtant in d u s tr ial step taken In this country since the form ation of the U n ited S tates Steel C o rporation. It gives to the U n ited S tates Shipbuilding Company a p lant capable of building a b a t tleship com p lete w ith arm a m e n t, arm o r and all equipm e n t. No such com p any exists elsew h ere in the world. \A rrangem e n ts have been made with the United S tates Steel Corporation by which prompt deliveries of the hull steel on favor able term s will enable us to prom ise ves sels ab.solutely on tim e. More im p o rtant, however.

This p lan t will be put in w ith th e others th a t have been consolidated and whose bonds will be offered to the public on W ednesday, June 18. “W ith this acquisition, the U n ited S tates Shipbuilding Company -will be by far the m o st com p letely equipped and self-contained shipbuilding plant In the world, m a n u f a c tu r ing everything Itself, including its arm o r plate and guns. “ F rom the financial aspect thla acquisi tion w ill m ake the securities of the shipbuilding com p a n y ' very desirable.

Three weeks ago Dlmp disappeared, it was not her first disappearance. She had been away several tim e s. W h a t added p a r ticu lar excitem ent to this disappearance -ft-as the fact th a t Dlsbrow disappeared a t the sam e time. They were gone a week and r e turned about the sam e tim e . Dlm p said she had been staying w ith her au n t in Brooklyn. Once before she had been away and on her re tu r n said she had been w ith a M iss Flan- nagan of Jam a ica. Both tim e s h e r m o ther ■was nearly frantic, but her fa th e r said she w tuld retu r n all right, as she had alw ays done. A fter her retu r n two weeks ago she m e t Dlsbrow frequently, bu t C lareuce F o s ter also shared the g irl's society. Last Monday F o s ter took Dlsbrow Into the butcher store of Ellsw o rth G rundy and In troduced him. Grundy, according to his statem e n t, cashed a check for tw e n ty dollars. T h a t check Is now said to have been re turned as not good. Foster and Dlsbrow called at the Ocean View Hotel. Dlmp -was playing on the piano for her m other. \W h y are you so down on m e ? \ asked Dlsbrow of Mrs. Lawrence. \Because you are a divorced m an, and I don't want you going w ith my daughter.” was the reply. Dlsbrow is not divorced, b u t Is living apart from his wife. \Oh Louis can go with me when he pleases,\ broke in Dlmp. ,-^fter considerable discussion Dlsbrow per suaded Mrs. Lawrence to allow Dlmp to go driving with him th a t evening on condition that Anna Pearsall and h e r father, who lived at Ternell's -with Dlsbrow. should go with them. T h e E v e n ts of t h e F a t a l N ig h t. A fter supper Dlsbrow drove up -with a one- seated road cart. He told Miss Law rence he would pick up the P e a r s a lls down the road. The m o ther made Dlmp prom ise to retu r n a t once If they did not pick up the P e a rsalls. She did not seem to notice th a t the vehicle was not large enough for four persons. An hour later, about 7 o'clock, Dlmp, D ls brow and F o s ter drove up to th e H am p ton Pines Club house, which is open for public entertainm e n t. They had supper and sat around until 11 o'clock. Stew a rd Rogers says they were not served with Intoxicating drinks, and t h a t they behaved w e ll up to the time of their departure a t 11 o'clock, when they drove away tow a rd the Ocean Vle-w House. W here they were for the n e x t two hours is one of the m y serles of the case. The next known of them was about 1:15 In the m o rn- lug, -ft-ben they drove by the Ocean View- House. lashing the horse. M rs. Law rence ran out to m eet Dlmp. She heard loud t a l k ing and sounds of a struggle in the buggy. \Dlmp! Oh, my girl, Dlmp'. Come in ! \ she cried. She heard the muffled tones of h e r daugh te r 's voice and then the horse was driven by her a t a furious speed, w ith tw o m en lash ing It on while Mrs. Law rence crouched by the roadside, a ghostly figure In w h ite. T e r rified by the scene, she ran to her room , dressed and then wandered down into the dense -s-oods on Pine Neck P o int, searching for Dlmp. A fter w a n d ering for a long tim e she w e n t back to her room. T h e Q u a rrel i n D isbrotv’s B o o m . It was 2:15 when Miss Anna P e a r s a ll, who occupied a room directly across the hall from D lsbrow 's at T e rrell's, -was awakened by the sound of voices In D lsbrow 's room. At the Inquest she swore th a t th e follow ing Incidents occurred: She recognized the voices of Dlsbrow and Foster. They talked for a w h ile, then F e s ter started, saying; \W ell, good bye. Louis: I don’t suppose 1 will see you again.” Dlsbrow had announced th a t he was going to Europe. \No I guess you w o n 't.\ w a s the reply. \So. good bye; rem e m b e r me to the kid.\ The kid w as his pet nam e for Dlmp. A few m inutes la t e r F o s ter returned to Dlsbrow 's room and then there was the noise of an ex cited quarrel. \I m ight as well settle th is no-w and bo dene w ith It,\ she heard. There w e re oaths and then a fight. She heard the scuffling and the b r e a k ing of som e thing In the room. She was so frightened th a t she closed her own door. Soon the scuffling was over and she heard them talking of a boat. The two men w e n t dow n -stairs. She heards a w o m e n ’s voice or. the lawn. It was Dlmp saying: \ I f we get a boat will Louis come to o l ” M iss P e a rsall knew the voice, because a few days before Dlmp had been w e t by spray while sailing and Dlsbrow had taken h e r to Miss P e a r s a ll’s, who loaned h e r dry clothes and talked w ith her. The voices of the tw o men and Dlmp died away as th e y w a lked to ward the boat landing. Miss P e a r s a ll w as excited and slep t no more th a t night. She is sure D lsbrow did not retu r n to his room . A t 5 o ’clock, w h en Mr. T e rnell got up, be found in h is carriag e shed a horse and buggy th a t D lsbrow had used the nig h t before. At 8 o'clock Dlsbrow appeared a t break f a s t in dry clothes, saying nothing of the n ig h t’s adventures. 'When asked about the buggy he said he would drive It back to W e lls' livery stable.

Mr. W ells says he seem ed w ildly excited and offered a $20 check in paym e n t for his bill, which was accepted. B u t Mr. W e lls would not give any change until he found the check to be good. By th a t tim e the alarm had gone out th a t Dlmp Law rence and C larence F o s t e r iwere m issing. D lsbrow staiyedl around for an hour or so. He said he had left them a t the Ocean View H o u se, a f t e r having supper a t the club house. He walked to Quogue and took a tra i n ju s t as the excitem e n t vv-as beginning to run high. D lsbrow ’s cap and the lap robe w e re found betw een T e rnell's and th e Ocean View and Dlmp's h a t w a s found a t T e r n e ll’s. The boat m issing from th e landing created the belief t h a t Dlmp and F o s ter had sta r te d to row from T e r n e ll’s to the Ocean View and had been drowned or had gone aw ay to gether.
