ADVENTURER TO VISIT 'EDEN' TO PROBE MYSTERY Fate of ’Blond Empress,’ Two Lovers Sought by American. By T nitrd Pr< LOS ANGELES. Nov. 21—An American yacht leaving here Friday for the equatorial pacific may learn the fate of Baroness Eloisa Bosquet de Wagner Wehrborn. 'blond empress of the Enchanted Isles,” and Robert Philippson, her German sweetheart, it was indicated today. Dispatches from Guayaquil. Ecuador. nearest land point to the Enchanted isles—Galapagos, or Turtle islands, on the map—hinted that the bodies of the baroness and Philippson might be found on Floreana island, whence they disappeared without trace March 23. Discovery on the nearby barren volcanic island of Maichena of two bodies only began to obscure the mystery of the baroness’ fate and that of the handsome, carefree German who cast his lot with her, content to serve her and call her queen. The bodies were found by Captain Manuel Rodrigues, in his San Diego tuna fisher Santa Amaro. They seemed to be those of Alfredo Rudolph Lorenz, muscular German business man whom Philippson had replaced in the baroness’ affections, and Captain Nuggerud, a Norwegion yachtsman. Baroness, Lover Disappear Lorenz was the last man to see the baroness and Philippson. Before the baroness and her sweetheart disappeared there had been trouble in the little home she and the two men maintained, she as the “empress.” After their disappearance, Lorenz left the island with Nuggerud and a Negro deck hand of Nuggerud’s yach Dinamita. The deck hand’s fate seems impossible to determine. Captain G. Allen Hancock, Los Angeles oil man and science enthusiast, will sail with ten Smithsonian Institute scientists for the Enchanted islands Friday. Captain Hancock has announced they will try to solve the mystery that has risen regarding the disappearance of the baroness and Philippson as well as the death of Lorenz and Nuggerud. The few facts in the latest of the Galapagos’ many mysteries have come from Los Angeles, Paris, Guayaquil, a radio entertainer's yacht in the South Seas, and from fragmentary wireless messages and old letters from the islands. Planned Dream Resort Rolph Blomberg, Norwegian newspaper man, and Professor Martin Voegel. German scientist, the travelers who reported the disappearances, filled in some blanks of the story of the romantic minded trio who went to the islands—the baroness, former proprietor of a Paris curio shop, a woman familiar with the gay life of European capitals, and Philippson and Lorenz, German business men, who had fallen in love with her, and who with her were willing to abandon the world they knew for life on a tropical island. They left Paris several years ago for the South Seas to seek a life of beauty and serenity on some island untouched by civilization. The baroness had conceived a plan of setting up a little empire there, with herself, young and beautiful, and ready for any adventure, as empress, and the two men as her courtiers. In her madcap brain she planned with her ample supply of money to establish a dream resort. The three arrived on Floreana. They built a hut against the rocks, laid out a garden, and called it •paradise.” For a time the three lived in happiness. Lorenz was the head man in the baroness’ affections, reports said, her favorite and prime minister. Philippson New Favorite As time passed slowly in the lazy islands, Philippson, jovial, of the good fellow type, flourished in the

HOPKINS ACTS TO HEAD OFF RELIEF WASTE Tightening Up of Supervision Started: Work Program Is Studied. (Copyright. 1934 bv United Press! WASHINGTON, Nov 21 —Federal relief ‘administration officials tod#y prepared a model cost accounting system for state administrators in an effort to reduce administrative expenses before congress can begin an investigation. The United Press was informed FERA is spending just more than II per cent to distribute its relief millions to the nation's destitute. Officials consider that average figure satisfactory and said they considered under 14 per cent for overhead efficient management of so large an enterprise. Officials of the FERA. it was learned, have been instructed to use extra care in dispensing funds so that there shall be no fresh cause for denunciations such as those of Senator William E. Borah (Rep., Ida*. . While it has been the contention of the FERA that the funds have been administered consistent with utmost regard fc prevention of waste, the instances cited by Senator Borah have resulted in renewed pressure upon this phase of relief activity. Senator Borah has made it clear that he does not charge the FERA with graft or corruption. He nas demanded more attention to efficiency. however, and pay rolls more in keeping with the relief work actually done. Combined with this economy drive, officials are working on plans to head off a tendency, apparent in many sections, to refuse gainful employment so long as relief funds may be obtained. Hundreds of incidents have been reported where persons have turned down jobs paying as high as $5 a day, saying they were quite content with relief. The plans, such as a program of work relief, are being studied by Administrator Harry L. Hopkins and his aids in anticipation of sharp revision of relief policies. It congressional critics are not convinced by the time congress meets, Jan. 3. that FERA officials have used every effort to weed out waste and inefficiency, a relief investigation seems assured.
