RICH JAPANESE DISAPPEARS ON OCEAN CRUISE Murder or Suicide Believed Fate: Police Question Showgirl Governess. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Murder on the high seas or suicide are believed responsible for disappearance of a wealthy Japanese silk Importer and business man while on a “show boat” cruise with his young daughter and her pretty show girl governess. . His body is sought by coast guard patrols and police. It Is believed to -be near Ambrose channel, about thirty miles at sea. Business associates of Hisashi Fujimura, whose Japanese wife and boy live at Norwalk, Conn., asked the search b e made after failure of the merchant to check in on return of the Red Star liner Belgenland to port Friday. Attorney Harry C. Melick, member of the firm which represents the Ashahi Corporation and the H. Fujimura Company asked that the search b e made after a private investigation revealed reports of an early morning struggle on the high seas near the cabin of the governess, Miss Mary Reisner. Evidence of Struggle Melick reported his wealthy client sent his daughter Kashira to bed about 10 p. m. Thursday. He was seen at 1 a. m. by fellow passengers, and by officers of the ship, according to the official ship report. Fujimura did not appear in the lounge to be checked off by immigration officials later that morning, the ship report said. Attendants said a checkup of the cabirk showing evidence of a struggle, continued on deck. Passengers told of screams from the vicinity of the girl’s cabin, and said four men and a girl were seen to appear on deck about 2 a. m. Friday. Miss Reisner, on arrival here, called Norwalk to check on the condition of the importer’s 3-year-old daughter suffering heart disease. The girl died that morning. Governess Questioned ..Miss Reisner reported absence of the girl’s father, but indicated, according to Norwalk inquiries, that he probably was among the passengers on the pier. She was quoted as saying Fujimura had said he was “Sorry I ever came aboard.” She refused comment today at her rooms in Hotel Maurice. Police reported she had been unable to give them much information of value. ‘Show Boat” cruises such as the Importer took were inaugurated by shipping lines to offset the loss of foreign travel business due to the business depression. They are from ten to twelve day tours which include all the attractions of a night club or cabaret aboard ship. TAMMANY HITS BACK AT REPUBLICAN PROBE Cites G. O. P.

BLOND HELD WITHOUT BAIL FORSHOOTING Arraignment Postponed With Senator Still in Serious Condition. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—The “still critical” condition of State Senator Roy T. Yates of New Jersey, victim of a mystery shooting in a New York apartment, forced postponement today of the arraignment of Ruth Jane Cranmer, former cloak model, who is charged with felonious assault. Cool and self-possessed, and presenting a beautiful contrast to the drabness of the west side court, where she appeared, Miss Cranmer was dressed in a vivid red ensemble, with an Empress Eugenie hat. A dozen photographers within the lawyers’ inclosure delayed proceedings while they snapped her in various poses. With Yates’ condition described as still dangerous, Martin Binder, assistant district attorney, asked for a week’s postponement of the arraignment. “Is that agreeable to you?” asked Judge Michael Ford. “It is not," said Miss Cranmer forcefully, “but I have no alternative.” She asked what would happen to her. ‘I shall have to hold you without bail, under the circumstances,” said the judge. The session was brief, and Miss Cranmer was removed to the woman’s prison in Harlem. “I don’t remember,” she answered repeatedly to questions concerning the night of Yates’ shooting. She said she had met the New Jersey senator three years ago, when they lived in the same apartment house. From casual meetings in the corridors to rides along the Central park bridle paths their friendship developed quickly, she said—“until this thing happened.” LABOR FOR ROOT PLAN American Federation’s Council Urges U.
