MYSTERY SHIP 5 0 S APPEALS HINT TRAGEDY Vessel Believed Down in Atlantic After Crew Takes to Boats. HOAX IS SUSPECTED Confusing Radio Messages Lead to Belief of Rum Runner Plot. By United Pres: NEW YORK, March 28.—Naval communications operators who listened to an SOS early today from a ship oil Barnegat light v hich refused to reveal its identity, told the United Press they believed the ship's operator “deliberately was sending poorly.” This opinion lent strength to an opinion expressed by commercial operators that the distess signals were a well-arranged hoax to deceive the coast guard. It was suggested that the signals might have been transmitted by rttm runners attempting to drawcoast guard vessels to a certain point while they were landing contraband liquor on the coast. Liner’s Search Futile By United Prt /, < NEW YORK, March 28 The Munson line steamer Pan-America notified the Radio Marine Corporation early today that it had arrived at the spot off Barnegat lightship where an unknown vessel was reported sinking, "rite Pan-America was searching the vicinity for traces of the ship or lifeboats Ship’s Name Untold By United I’r . sa ASBUEY PARK, N. J., March 28. ■—An unidentified ship carrying fifteen passengers in addition to her crew was believed to have gone down in a choppy sea off the lower New Jersey coast today. An operator who had sent out distress signals for two hours summoning Bid for the sinking vessel reported just before signing off at 2:05 a. m. today that the passengers and crew had lowered lifeboats in the darkness and were deserting the ship. The coast guard vessels which sp-:i to the scene on receipts of the SOS, reported at <3;20 a. m. that they were searching for the lifeboats, No Trace of Boats No trace of the passengers, crew or ship was immediately apparent, thr coast guc’-d officers said. Persistent appeals were made to the operator of the ship to report Its name, but to no avail among the SOS calls. Although he was in communication with land stations along the coast and in New York for almost two hours and was asked repeatedly what ship needed aid, he would reveal only the location of the vessel, frequently adding the plea to ‘'hurry aid.” As he signed off he reported that water had crept up into his cabin, and it was believed the ship had gone down after his radio transmitter became silent. Shortly before sending his last message at 2:05 a. m., the radio operator aboard the mystery ship said water was rising in his cabin. His final words were: “leaving now; goodby.” Perplexed by Messages Commercial operators in land stations were perplexed by the strange nature of the messages, and the apparent unwillingness of the operator to send the name of 'he sinking vessel. The first S. O. S. came from the ship at 12:25 a. m., followed by a steady succession of distress signals “We are off Barnegat light,” the operator messaged. At 12:26 the naval station in New York asked. “What ship is off Barnegat?'’ There was no reply. After several minutes the distress signals were resumed, slowly and falteringly, as though the operator was confused and very nervous. Water in Radio Room In his next message the operator said his ship was thirty miles off Barnegat. Again the naval station inquired the name, and no desponse came. At 12:56 the operator wirelessed: “Water in radio room. We have fifteen pasesreers aboard. We are thirty miles off Barnegat.” Further inquiries about the ship's name brought only the reply: “Hurry! Water rising.” The land operators persisted in their effort to learn the ship’s name, but the distressed ship was silent. Finally it was asked, “Are you still with us?” The reply was: "Taking to boats.” Steamship to Rescue The New York naval station wneiessed a request to “send dashes if possible,” but there was no reply. To send dashes means for the operator to hold the key down for long periods, so compass bearings can be taken. At this time the steamship Lion came in and informed the naval station it was sixty miles from Barnegat and headed for Rio De Janeiro. Asked if it was going to the aid of the unknown ship, the Lion's operator replied in the affirmative. “Are you still with us?” the distressed ship again was asked. "Yes, old man,” replied the operator. "Radio room is filling with water, but set clear." The ship was advised that aid was being rushed to the scene.

CLOSED BANK HEAD KILLED BY GAS OF MOTOR CAR ENGINE

Coroner to Determine If Edward Morris Died by Accident. Coroner's investigation was under way today to determine whether death of J. Edward Morris, 52, president of the defunct Washington Bank Company, was accidental. Mr. Morrii’ body was found in his garage at his home, near Eighteenth street and College avenue, late Friday. Corbon monoxide from the exhaust of an automobile, motor of which was running, caused death. He died only a day after Herbert E. Wilson, Marion county prosecutor, announced he would begin grand jury investigation of the bank’s failure Oct. 28, 1930. Brandt C. Downey, receiver, recently had declared that affairs of the bank would permit no payments to depositors for some time. “I do not know whether the probe of the bank's failure will be continued.” Wilson said today. “However, I believe that it probably will be carried on.” Insurance Receipts Found Reposing on a blanket on the garage floor, the head pillowed on a door mat, the body was found by Mrs. Helen Johnson, sister of Mr. Morris. She called Dr. D. R. Lee, of Broad Ripple, who notified police. Mr. Morris apparently was dead when his sister entered the garage, according to Coroner Fred Vehling. Vehling and Drs. Emil Winters and Henry Allburger, deputy coroners, performed an autopsy at city hospitl, but beyond stating that carbon monoxide gas caused death, reported nothing from the postmortem. In Mr. Morris’ pockets were found several insurance receipts, all of which had been paid during the past month, according to the coroner. There was also a small amount of money in the pockets. The corner said he probably would return a verdict Tuesday after a formal inquest Was Real Estate Dealer Mr. Morris was born on a farm near Broad Ripple, and at one time taught public schools in this county. For a number of years he was connected with several telephone companies, and in 1910 formed a real estate business. In 1914 he was chairman of a committee of realtors that organized the Indianapolis Real Estate Board, and was president of that organization. Later he was named president of the Washington bank, which had numerous real estate holdings. Mr. Morris belonged to Broadway M. E. church, Chamber of Commerce, Indianapolis Athletic Club, Murat Temple of the Shrine, Scottish Rite, Kiwanis Club and the Columbia Club. Survivors are: The widow, Mrs. Ida Morris; two daughters, Miss Isabelle Morris and Miss Asberene Morris; two brothers, Irvin and Oscar Morris, and the sister, Mrs. Johnson.

Three Fraternity Houses May Lose Social Privileges for Year. B;/ Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. March 28. —Betty Co-ed was in rather a stew about things on Indiana universitycampus today. Sixteep of her boy and girl friends were sorting their socks, shirts, and other clothing from roommates’ trunks, ready to depart, because deans learned too much about recent social functions in fraternity houses. The fraternity houses were penalized and probably will lose their social privileges for the remainder of the year. Whether any further action will be taken against miscreant students is problematical, since it was known Friday that the committee on stuednt affairs had touched other alleged wild parties tnan those because of whicn the sixteen were expelled. Names of the ex-students, and of the three Greek letter organizations found guilty by the committee of having sponsored dances at which co-eds drank and indr’- in other indiscretions were withheld by the committee, which, in the past two weeks, has expelled two co-eds who attended the parties.

HUGE LOTTERY PRIZE WON BY EX-PEDDLER Former Ice Cream Vender Gets $1,900,000 for Race Ticket. FORTUNE FOR AMERICAN Buffalo Worker’s Share Is $886,300 as Runner-Up in Irish Pool. By United Press j Work-a-day folk in scattered seci tions of the earth—London, Buffalo, j N. Y., and Capetown, South Africa —were rich beyond their fondest j dreams because they held winning | tickets in the Irish Hospital sweep- | stakes on the grand national j steeplechase run at the Aintree j court outside of Liverpool Friday. They included: (I)—Emilio Scala, Italian coffee I shop owner, prize $1,900,000. j (2)—Clayton C. Woods, factory : worker, Buffalo, N. Y., prize j $886,300. (3)—George P. Dyarnond, hotel I proprietor, Capetown, prize, $574,359. Sold Three-Fourths Scala, Italian, ex-pushcart ice cream peddler, now proprietor of a London coffee shop and holder of the first prize ticket on Grakle in the Grand National sweepstakes, revealed today that before the race he had sold three-quarters of his ticket to a bookmaker’s syndicate for about $50,000. The ticket was worth around $1,900,000 when Grakle galloped home ahead of the field in the Aintree race. The next big one, the ticket on Gregalach, was held by Clayton C. Wood, a 39-year-old wood inspector in a Buffalo automobile manufacturing plant. “I’m going to buy that horse Gregalach, if he's for sale,” he said, when the news reached him. “I know where my luck lies from now on. I’m going in for horse racing.” Wood had only 50 cents invested in his ticket. Other members of the family made up the other $2. He told reporters that he had been without a job since it became known that he had drawn Gregalach, winner of two Grand National sweepstakes, ■ - Boss Fired Him “My co-employes showered me with so much attention that the boss got sore and fired me,” he said. “Well, that’s o. k. by me now. I guess I can get along on what I’ve got the rest of my life.” His wife did not concur in his horse-racing ideas. “We’ll get Easter outfits first thing,” she said, “and then I'd like to have anew home and invest the rest safely.” Scala hid himself away Friday night in London in an effort to escape the attention of thousands of persons who showered him with congratulations, but he was found later by newspaper ment. “I am still drinking lemonade, despite my luck,” he said. “I’m not letting this turn my head. You can’t go through life working hard j and then suddenly have this thrust ! on you without feeling a tremendI ous change. j “Now I shall be able to do all I wanted to do for my invalid mother and also for my youngest boy, who is ill. They will be first in my thoughts.” Cables Mussolini of Luck He said he had cabled Premier , Mussolini of his luck. Meanwhile, Scala’s wife continued | washing dishes and doing the usual housework at their home. The family expect-s to return to their native province in Italy and establish their home there. It was said that no tax would be deducted from the prize of about $88,300 won by Woods. It also was said that Wood’s prize probably would be more than that due to the fact that he is entitled to a certain rate of interest on the amount until it is actually paid in April. Officials at Dublin said more than $1,000,000 in prize money, including consolation prizes, would be sent to the United States.

Former American League Chief Loses Mis Long Fight for Life, By United Press ST. LOUIS, March 28.—Byron Bancroft Johnson, 65, former president of the American League, died here today after a long illnes. Death came at 8:10 a. m. at St. John's hospital. Johnson was one of the most colorful and best liked characters in organized baseball. He helped organize the American League and served as its president until 1927. His dee.th followed closely that of his successor to the American League presidency, Ernest S. Barnard, who died in Rochster, Minn., late rFiday. *fn St. Louis Several Weeks Johnson had been in ill health since his retirement, four years ago. His diabetic condition failed to respond to constant treatment. He had been confined to a hospital here for several weeks. His futile fight for life was similar in many respects to fights he participated in during his active career as a baseball executive. His retirement from baseball came after he had lost a long fight against the administration of baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis. “Ban” Johnson, as he was known to the mililons of baseball fans of America, made organized baseball his business in the late ’Bo’s after a brief career as a newspaper sports writer. He was elected head of the old Western League and later transformed it into a major circuit. Bowed to Comiskey’s Will Charles Comiskey and Johnson worked together to build up the younger major league circuit to a parity with the older National League. Their friendship was one of the closest in baseball for many years. Later Comiskey and Johnson disagreed as Cos the administration by affairs of the American League. After a prolonged embitterment Johnson finally was forced to bow to the will of his one-time friend and retire.

Besides the barn, a woodshed, chicken coop and garage were destroyed. W. E. Finnegan, deputy state firemarshal, announced today that Lutze had confessed he started the fire “for the excitement of putting it out.”

SPRING BLIZZARD RAGES IN WEST, AND TEMPERATURES PLUNGE BELOW ZERO MARK Snow, Sleet and Rain Rake Area From Canada to Texas Panhandle. Idaho to Illinois. LAST WINTER RALLY, SAY EXPERTS * Crops Are Damaged, Rail and Motor Traffic Crippled, Planes Grounded, and Many Suffer From Cold. By United Press CHICAGO, March 28.—Snow, sleet and rain were carried on raging winds across the country today and temperatures fell to zero in many places as winter staged a vicious rally which weather experts predicted would be its last this year. From Canada to the Texas Panhandle, and from Idaho to Chicago, the countryside was lashed by snow and sleetladen gales. The belated blizzard reached its greatest intensity in states between the Rocky mountains and the Mississippi river, extending southward into Texas and northward far into Canada,

As it swirled across the continent, some of its force was lost, but even in Illinois several inches of snow fell. Predictions were some snow might be swept as far east as the coast by Sunday Cripples Rail Traffic In Nebraska, Kansas Missouri, Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle, the blizzard crippled rail and highway traffic, grounded airplanes, damaged crops and caused much suffering. Two boys, Boyd Evans, 7, of Max, Neb., and Ray Rountaine, 13, of Redcloud wandered into the storm and were lost. Posses searched for them for hours but it was feared they would not be found alive. The temperature fell to 2 below zero at Denver, to zero in Oklahoma and western Kansas, and to 8 below at Cheyenne, Wyo. In Chicago, the mercury stood well above freezing and a rainstorm continued, but the forecast was the temperature would drop to 15 above before the day ended. Snow Over Illinois Much snow and rain fell here Friday. Snow fell throughout Southern Illinois. It rained in Ohio. Other north central states had snow and rain. Rural schools throughout the Dakotas were closed, most highways were blocked completely and many telegraph and telephone Jines were blown down. Although Amarillo, Tex., fruit growers reported budding fruit trees seriously damaged by the cold, the wheat growers of the northwest were jubilant over the several inches of snow, which protected tender grain shoots from the cold and assured the crop an abundance of badly needed moisture. Below Zero in West By United Press DENVER, March 28.—Road crews plowed through huge snow drifts last night to open the Denver-Omaha link of the Transcontinental highway, blocked by the heaviest storm of the winter. The road was impassable between Ft. Morgan and Julesburg, Colo. The smaller roads in the vicinity probably will be blocked several /lays.

nected with the trustee’s office, was present in the session, supposedly as arbiter, to straighten out the fight that flared last week between Mrs. Noone and advisory board members when Mrs. Noone was forced to pare the per-ton price of coal, sl. A lower grade of coal will be supplied at the $4.50 a ton price. Plans for forcing Mrs. Noone to award grocery contracts to lowest bidders grew out of the budget session, according to Holtman. Holtman declared that investigation is under way to fix “reasonable” prices for groceries. Anew list of prices will be submitted to Mrs. Noone, and she will be asked to award contracts on the basis of those prices, Holtman said. With the feeding of more than 8,000 Center township families at stake in the secret session, Mrs. Noone forbade reporters over the protest of Holtman and Charles Reasoner, another advisory board member. Wanted It Open “If Mrs. Noone has anything to hide, it's alll right, but we think the meeting should be open to any one who wants to listen,” Holtman stated before the session. Under an emergency act passed by the 1931 general assembly, advisory board members were authorized to fix the poor relief budget. Holtman pointed out, however, that if Mrs. Noone exceeds the April budget, she can call advisory board members into session and force appropriation of additional funds. Holtman said that Walter Clarke, fttomey for Mrs. Noone, and one of the conferes, estimated that $75,000 would be sufficient for April relief. “We gave him a $15.00 leeway so he couldn’t criticise us,2 Holtman stated.

TWO CENTS

The gale-like winds which drove the blizzard across the Rockv mountain section had diminished considerably Friday night. The sun broke through the clouds early today. but with the clearing of the skies the region suffered a near-rec-ord cold wave. Denver recorded 2 below zero, the coldest March temperature since 1922 The coldest in the territory was at Cheyenne. Wyo.. where the thermometer read 8 below zero The storm touched the southern tip of the Texas Panhandle. El Paso residents shivered in sub-freezing weather. The early fruit crop in that region also was injured. Southeastern New Mexico was un - der a snow blanket. The cold and snow seriously harmed sheepmen, whose flocks were in the midst of lambing. The worst blizzard of the winter struck Roswell, N. M. Other points reported several inches of snow. The weather bureau issued a fan* and warmer forecast throughout most of the section for tonight and Sunday. Mercury Falls Here Temperature drop of seven degrees in three hours this morning heralded the cold wave which is expected to force the mercury to 20 or 25 tonight. Furry of the storm that has swept the western plains during the last two days will be abated and Indiana has better than a fifty-fifty chance to escape severe snow and temperatures below 20, J. H. Armington, weather bureau head, said. At 6 a. m., the mercury stood at 47, but by 9 it had slipped to 40 Armington said the descent will con tinue all day. According to “the bureau, the storm swerved from its path Friday and headed directly north instead of northwest, as expected. However, southwest winds of 22 miles an hour are driving it eastwart and the mercury at Terre Haute dropped to 38 at 7 and was continuing downward. Winds that whistled around houses early today will roar at times, but will die out by tonight, Armington said. Armington said temperatures will rise in the western plains today and it is probable that Sunday will be fair, with sunshine prevailing during the day. This factor will tend to break the cold snap, probabiv Monday, he said.
