U. S. AND BRITAIN •PROBE TALE OF , SEA BRUTALITY Torturing of Tanker Steward by English Skipper to Bring Legal Suit. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 9.—A hard tale of the sea, of a drunken master torturing one of his crew, today reached Department of Justice operatives in New York, after Sir Austin Chamberlain, British minister of foreign affairs, personally had taken Interest in the case. Sir Austin, through Sir Esme Howard, British Ambassador to the United States, urged that full investigation be made of charges against Captain Crowley- of the tanker Manataumy, on behalf of Fred Thomas, a member of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers and steward on the tanker. Asa result of the captain’s brutality, Sir Austin said,.Thomas now is in England, unable to support his wife and child and forced to live on a pension of 28 shillings a month. Suit to Be Filed The British minister forwarded evidence to an international law . firm, requesting prosecution of Crowley and suit for damages against the Manataumy’s owners, athe Hadnot Corporation. '•Here is the context of the allegations made against the captain: Shipping aboard the Manataumy from Southampton, England, Thomas slipped one night while walking on deck in a rough sea and instinctively grabbed two uncovered steam pipes to prevent a fall. He was burned severely, staggered to his cabin, fainted, and did not recover consciousness for several hourg,-* Ifi the master’s quarters were four cases of whisky, one of brandy and two of rum. Crowley helped himself generously to the various potions and finally visited Thomas’ cabin. Tortured by Skipper "Quit groaning,” the captain said. “You keep the crew awake.” Thomas continued to moan in his pain. Crowley, with an oath, called the chief officer, had the steward taken to the deck, and handcuffed to a rajl. There Thomas was doused with •tcold sea water until he fainted again and was taken below. Meanwhile, his wrists swelled to such extent that the handcuffs had to be filed off. The tanker proceeded to San Pedro Macoris. but no medical attention was given Thomas in that port and bloo£ poisoning set in. At Port au Prince, Haiti, a doctor was sumomned and he advised that Thomas be removed from the vessel. Crowley refused to permit Thomas’ departure and it was not until the tanker reached San Juan, Porto Rico, that Thomas left the ship and fas given- hospital attention. Camp to Arrange for Drill Center Camp, Royal Neighbors, will meet Monday night at Woodman Hall, 322 E. Ohio St., to complete arrangements for the Fraternal day drill. All members are urged | to attend.

TRIPLE BLOC IS I PLANINSENATE Nye Has Program to Force Farm Relief. Bp Times Special WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—Possibility of a “triple bloc” in coming Senate to force over farm relief legislation and override a possible presidential veto was suggested today by Senator Nye of North Dakota. Such bloc, he said, might be made up of the supporters of public development of Muscle Shoals, proponents of Boulder Dam legislation, and the farm group. It would have strength, he believes, of more than the two-thirds of the Senate necessary to override a veto. “When I say farm relief, I mean the McNary-Haugen bill, of course," said Nye. “Our people in the northwest believe that this was the best of all the various proposals so far made, and they still are for it and willingly will not accept a suostitute. “I found no change in sentiment as a result of President Coolidge’s visit to the northwest this summer. We wej's delighted to have him as a guest, but saw no indication other than that he is an eastern man who does not understand our midwest problems, particularly that of agriculture.”
