NEW EXPLOSION ROCKS RUINS OF MORRO CASTLE Blast Hurls Debris High Into Air; May Finish Off Fire Destruction. BY SANFORD KLEIN l att.d Fr.* Mf! (•rrexp-ndrnt ASBURY PARK. If. J.. Rent by anew explosion, the charred hulk of the S. S. Morro Castle today dcfld efforts of investigators to penetrate within her twisted frame, and threatened to crack up within a few hundred feet of shore. the explosion sent debris high in the air. and may have completed the work of destruction. It was certain that not a living being remained on shipboard. At noon the estimated death toll stood at 1 *7. The Morro Castle's timbers had crumbled away. Its plates and beams were buckled and warped. It was still a smoldering, seething mass of unmanageable metal, having burned continuously since it caught fire Saturday morning with 558 persons aboard. Continues to Blaze Coast guardsmen and rescue workers watched for more bodies, flung up by the unfriendly breakers all along the north shore. Two more bodies floated in at dawn. Coast guardsmen recovered one of them. The other was wedged in rocks and could not be reached at once. Throughout the night, like a fitful beacon, the Morro Castle continued to blaze. Thick smoke *at times obscured her bulk. But at dawn she loomed up. dramatically near the thousands of curiosity seekers who lined the beach and the pier. Not a square foot of her was left untouched by the flames. The heaviest explosion, which occurred at 6:45 a. m., appeared to be directly amidships. It was accompanied by a great cloud of smoke from the blackened funnel.

Smaller Blasts Reported Several smaller explosions had been reported at intervals during the night, and were believed to be from pent-up gases in the watertight compartments. Several times the crash of metal beams, giving way and thundering through the torn decks, could be heard. Firemen, almost exhausted from their battle, continued their attempts to cool the smoking structure. but the ship was still dangerously hot and extended surveys of her interior were impossible. A dispute over the jurisdiction of the Morro Castles hull between insurance underwriters and the Ward Line, was settled after a morning conference between the officials. The underwriters withdrew their claims to the wreckage, and the line took full charge of further salvage operations. City firemen planned to go aboard the hulk this afternoon in an attempt to extinguish the blaze, still burning over the forward part of the ship. 3U Bodies Still on Board A coast guard officer w'ho refused to let his name be known said he believed as many as thirty bodes still were on board the vessel. Rescue workers were planning to make another attempt to board the ship this afternoon, but unless the wreckage - cools, it was considered unlikely they could get below decks. Questions as to why the passengers might not have remained aboard the Morro Castle, since Chief Officer William F. Warms and several of his men stayed aboard and were rescued, were answered by one look at the blazing hulk. Warms and his men were cut off by flames from the remainder of the ship and huddled on deck above the forecastle. the metal plates warping and buckling beneath them.

Sept. 10.—Frederick Roadhouse was fined $25 for using the automatic telephone as an inexpensive alarm clock. One of Frederick s duties was to wake his employer every morning.

Frederick let it ring for a few minutes and then he pressed button "B,” which returned him his pennies.

Richbcrg in his seventh and final survey on what the New Deal has done to date balanced today benefits and costs and reported to President Roosevelt that the price had been small “for such a gain.’’ At the same time he expressed disappointment that the number of unemployed continued as high and the relief burden so heavy. Despite all unfavorable factors, he said, the nation is making headway in its fight against depression. Here are the credits and debits presented in the seven reports: Credits More than four million re-cm-ployed by private industry. More than four million given temporary j^bs. More than 657.000 given public works jobs. Farm income increased by one billion dollars. Farm prices of seven basic commodities raised to 95 per cent of pre-war parity. partly due to drought. Loans and grants to relieve financial distress total $5,000,000,000, and $2,000,000,000 already repaid. Banking system rehabilitated. A million farm and city homes saved from foreclosure. Debits Five mi,lion families expected to need relief this winter. Relief costs reach high of $128,000.000 monthly. Unemployed totals unknown, but 15.000.000 work applications to federal and state agencies in last year. International trade demoralization handicapping agricultural recovery. Russian trade negotiations suspended. Purchasing power still subnormal. One urgent need cited was adequate machinery for dealing with labor disputes.

‘A High Clear Flame — Only a Charred ShelV The most celebrated description in literature of a burning ship at sea is contained in Joseph Conrad’s "Youth.' His word picture might equally well apply to the destruction of the Morro Castle. Here it is: "Between the darkness of earth and heaven she was burning fiercely upon a disc of purple sea shot by the blood-red play of gleams; upon a disc of water glittering and sinister. A high, clear flame, an immense and lonely flame, ascended from the ocean, and from its summit the black smoke poured continuously at the sky. She burned furiously; mournful and imposing like a funeral pile kindled in the night, surrounded by the sea, watched over by the stars. A magnificent death had come like a grace, like a gift, like a reward to that old ship at the end of her laborious days. The surrender of her weary ghost to the keeping of stars and sea was stirring like the sight of a glorious triumph. The masts fell just before daybreak and for a moment there was a burst and turmoil of sparks that seemed to fill with flying fire the night patient and watchful, the vast night lying silent upon the sea. At daylight she was only a charred shell, floating still under a cloud of smoke and bearing a glowipg mass of coal within.”

BLAMES TUBA PLAYING FOR CAREER OF CRIME Military Band Started Trouble, Soldier Tells Judge. By United Press SEATTLE, Sept. 10.—On the tuba of a military band Perley Wasson, 22, musician, soldier and auto thief, laid the blame for his going wrong before Superior Judge Robert M. Jones. Wasson entered the United States army at Fort Vancouver, Wash., as a tuba player, he told the judge. The regiment’s regular tuba player, a corporal, took a furlough; “They liked my playing and made me first tuba player,” said Wasson. But the corporal, on his return, was disgruntled to find that his substitute had performed so well. ‘‘He always was riding me, your honor, and I went over the hill from the army and did time at Fort Leavenworth prison.” Army desertion led to au'o stealing, he said. Wasson will do from one to three years in the Washington reformatory. BUTTONS GIVEN SOCIETY Collection of 3,000 Compiled by Invalid of Beloit, Wis.

TIMES STAFF MAN BOARDS I SMOKING HULK Sees Craft of Disaster First Hand; 177 Dead or Missing. BY BASIL GALLAGHER Times Stsff Writer ASBURY PARK. N. J., Sept. 10. —Just a few hours before a terrific blast rocked the ruin of what was the Morro Castle today, I left the deck of the disaster ship as smoke billowed out of the hold. I went aboard the smoking ruin as dawn broke over a calm Atlantic and after surveying the scene of tragedy left the boat via the breeches buoy route. Just a few hours later, a shattering detonation shook the burning hulk, but the inferno which cost the lives of almost 200 men, women and children still rages in her hold. During the early morning hours today flames rose menacingly from her bow and smoke billowed across the boardwalk where thousands kept an all-night vigil to watch the fire raging in the huge vessel. Authorities labored to care for the living and dead among the 558 aboard when swet anddeadly flames raked the holiday cruise ship from stem to stein in one of the most ghastly sea disasters of modern times. Like a crippled sea monster the Morro Castle lay helpless wallowing in the trough of the waves. Her keel was buried in eleven feet of sand. • 156 Listed As Dead It was impossible to count casualties exactly, because of the scattered points at which survivors reached shore or bodies were washed up. An unofficial compilation by the United Press indicated the following: Dead or missing 177 Survivors 381 Bodies recovered 127 Listing badly to port while stout guy hopes held her fast to Asbury Park's three-story convention hall, where she beached yesterday, the former “queen of the sea” lay completely out of her element like some impossible, prehistoric whale. In the half light of early morning the raging fire could be seen glittering through port holes on the starboard side of the vessel. The blistered plates on the ship—still red hot—bore mute evidence to the fire which ravaged her hold. And piled in that hold which still is too hot to penetrate even with modern fire-fighting apparatus are the bodies of more victims to one of the sea’s greatest tragedies. Body Lifted from Ship While I watched from the pier the body of a woman was lifted from one of the port ho’es in which she had perished and was carried to an ambulance on the pier—too badly burned for identification. During the long watches of the night while a gentle swell swept against the side of the stricken vessel in marked contrast to the giant rollers which had tossed her helplessly about in the hours of her tragedy, a few newspaper men were permitted to board the vessel—for a price.

One was slung across the 100 feet which separated the liner from the pier on a breeches buoy to touch foot to a deck hot enough to be felt through the soles of stout shoes. There on B deck, where the breeches buoy trip ended, a scene of tragic devastation met the eyes. I almost was suffocated by the acrid clouds of smoke which were carried upward from the burning inners of the ship. Trip Costs $lO Each All about the upper decks were strewn reminders of the terrible night of disaster. Women’s purses abandoned in wild leaps overboard into an inky sea; gloves, vanity cases, earingg, cigaret cases and children's toys lay on the charred deck amid unused life preservers. Hanging to their davits on the sun deck three life boats which for some reason were unlaunched swung in the off-shore breeze. As the chosen few permitted to visit the boat stepped carefully along the roasting deck a local underwriters’ correspondent met the visiting group and demanded $5 for the visit and another $5 for a gas mask which he insisted was necessary aboard. Those who demurred were curtly told to go back on the breeches bouy if they didn’t like it. The toll paid, one proceeded cautiously along decks that sloped perilously or dipped gently, depending on the extent of the fire. The black paint along the sides of the vessel was peeling off in great patches, leaving only the red undercoat to view. Rails Are Twisted Rails along C and B deck from which most of the passengers plunged to death or an uncertain fate, were bent and buckled in fantastic patterns. Here it was that the fire was worst. Altnough it was impossible to go below C deck where rescuers are waiting to penetrate to recover the bodies of more victims, the upper decks told enough of the pathetic story. Cocktail glasses held in the hands of shocked merrymakers still were standing on charred tables in some parts of the ship, although the intense heat of the fire had melted thick port hole glass in other parts of the vessel. Here a fragile pink evening slipper lost by some frantic woman passenger told of the mad flight for life. There a doll clutched by a child, but lost in the rush to the upper deck bore evidence of the night of terror. Thousands Kept Up Men’s dress shirtstuds, bits of broken pipes, shreds of once gorgeous evening dresses, rings, brooches and other pieces of jewelry all lay amid burnt hosing, twisted •steel and other reminders of the blaze which destroyed the $5,000,000 pride of the Ward Line. All along the New Jersey coast bodies of victims constantly are floating shoreward to be picked up and taken to the morgue at Camp Moore. And authorities, fearing more tragedy should the boat suddenly list too sharply and tear down part of the pier to which she now is moored; keep thousands of curious persons back 500 feet from the vessel.

DEAN.ALLEGED JONES SLAYER. 60ES0N TRIAL Defense Request for Delay Denied: Jury Selection Is Started. In a courtroom carefully guarded by armed detectives, the state of Indiana today began its attempt to send Edward (Foggy) Dean to the electric chair on charges of having been one of the mob of gangsters which murdered police Sergeant Lester Jones in the People's Motor Coach Company barns holdup last year. Defense attorneys lost their first move in the fight for his life when Clyde H. Jones, criminal judge pro tern., refused their request for a continuance on the ground that stories in today's newspapers of an attempted delivery of prisoners in the Marion county jail would prejudice the jury against Dean. The prisoner was brought into the courtroom by guards at 10. Dressed in a salt-and-pepper suit and wearing anew, fall fedora, the brim snapped down in front. Dean looked like a substantial young business man. Fifty prospective jurors had been called, but twenty-three of these were excused before defense and prosecution attorneys began their questioning in an effort to obtain the twelve who finally will decide Dean’s fate. The questioning gave little indication of what line prosecution and defense w’ill follow in conducting their cases.

SLEEPING SICKNESS GAINS. REPORTS SHOW New Cases Are Discovered in Various Parts of State The sleeping sickness epidemic apparently is gaining in Indiana, it was disclosed today as the state health board compiled reports made to it over the week-end and attempted to arrive at an estimate of the disease's spread. Dr. Thurman B. Rice, acting head of the state health department in the absence of Dr. Verne K. Harvey, said new cases have been reported from Muncie, Evansville, Shelbyville and Petersburg.
