LINER GOES TO BOTTOM OF ATLANTIC AFTER CRASH WITH FREIGHTER; 47 BELIEVED LOST Ward Ship Mohawk Sinks Within 40 Minutes of Crash 4 Miles Off Sea Girt, N. J.; One Man Is Known Dead. (Continued From Page One)

•were suffering from injuries, exposure and fro6t bite, coast Guardsmen who transferred 22 from the Limon to the Champlain said ail were so nearly frozen that they could hardly move their arms or legs. Passengers praised the calmness of the officers and crew for the most part. There appeared to be no hysterics and the launching of the lifeboats apparently was smooth, as was the rescue work by other ships. Only One Woman Excited “I saw several men smashed in forecastle.” said Frank Britt, a seaman of Newton Grove, N. C. "I had to swim for a lifeboat.” "Capt. Wood directed the work on board until the last,” Malcolm Luckett. cruise director, of Jackson, Miss., said. “The ship was listing badly but I saw only one woman who was badly excited.” Most of the boats got away in a running sea, but this morning only 39 passengers and 78 of the crew had been accounted for. Coast Guards found two empty lifeboats tossing in the ea, causing fears that those who are missing may have lost their lives. Among the missing passengers were five women and Prof. H. F. Cleland of williams College. Four children, all under 5, were among the Mohawk’s passengers when she sailed yesterday for Havana and Vera Cruz, but they, fortunately, had been placed in lifeboats picked by the Algonquin. Third Ward Ship in Disaster The Mohawk was the third Ward liner to meet disaster within five months. The luxury liner Morro Cattle burned Sept. 6 off Asbury Park, N. J, with a loss of 124 lives. The liner Havana piled up on a coral reef off the Florida coast last month. Information from the scene of tne disaster was fragmentary. Capt. I. A. McKnzie. master of the Algonquin, wirelessed the United Press that he had picked up five lifeboats containing 38 passengers ana 58 of the crew. He gave no details. The Coast Guard cutters reported cryptically that the search continued. Freighter’s Bow Smashed While the Mohawk received such a fatal wound that she was or. the bottom within two hours after the crash, the Tailsman suffered only a badly smashed bow. She hove to at the scene of the wreck, communicating by wireless sketchily. The Aigonquin after searching the vicinity until 5 a. m., turned L?ck to land her survivors in New York She was outbound from Miami. The Champlain said she would land her survivors at her base, Stapleton. S. I. Further mystery was added by the fact that the Mohawk and the Talisman had no business being within 25 miles of one another. The Mohawk, much faster, sailed more than an hour before the freighter, commanded by Capt. Edmund Wang, put out for Bahia, Brazil, by, wa> of Claymont, Del. She is owned by tiie Wilhemsen Line. Calculating comparative speeds, the Mohawk should have been more than 25 miles ahead of the Talisman as they passed Sea Girt. Nevertheless at 9:30 p. m. this radio message electrified New York harbor. “SOS—Mohawk in collision—SOS —lmmediate assistance.” A minute or two later another SOS shot out over the busy coastal waters and the sea lanes leading into and out of one of the busiest harbors in the world. It was from the Talisman. Algonquin First at Scene The Algonquin, nearby, was the first to reach the scene. Meanwhile, aboard the Mohawk. Captain Wood, a veteran in the service of rot the Ward Line, but the Clyde-Mallory line, from which the Ward line had chartered his vessel to replace the Havana, was master of his ship in every way. In orderly fashion, passengers were directed to tneir previously assigned lifeboats. The crew rolled the boats overside, preparatory’ to immediate launching. Captain Wood threw his helm over, telegraphed his engine room for full steam, and raced toward the shore four miles distant, to beach his boat. This was impossible. The Talisman’s bow had given the Mohawk her death wound. She was shifting water, settling, taking a list. ‘Lower No. 1 Boat’ "Lower No. 1 boat." ordered Capt Wood through his megaphone. It dropped into the water, drifted out into the black waters and disappeared. A minute later a bright full moon came up, illuminating the scene. “Lower No. 2 boat.” came the next order from the bridge. Then, one by one. the boats dropped into the sea. loaded with men. women and children, including two babies in mothers* arms. The Coast Guard believed all persons aboard the Mohawk, with the possible exception of her master, was safely afloat in lifeboats when she heeled over and plunged to the bottom. In New York frantic relatives of passengers stormed the offices of the Ward Line, the same offices that in September were besieged by relatives of the passengers of the Morro Castle. Conflicting, and. in many cases, inaccurate reoprts. tortured these hapless ones. Scores were relieved when the United Press received the first authentic list of susvivors picked up by the Algonquin. List of Missing The Ward Line and the Clydf Mallory Line are subsidiaries of the Atlantic. Gulf, and West Indies Seamship Lines. When the Havana piled up on the reef, the Mohawk was chartered to the Ward Line to maintain Havana schedules. She was making her second voyage under that charter. Capt. Wood was her only Clyde Mallory officer. The other* were Ward Line employes. The missing passengers were: E K. Barr, Philadelphia: Mrs. David F. Brucker and Miss Alice Williams, Mansfield, G., Prof. Cleland; F. L.

Frost, New York: Miss E. N. Gentle, New York; J Howie, New York; Mrs. W. H. Kraemer, Wilmington, Del.; Miss G Oakes. New York Julius Palmer, New York, Julian Peabody, Westbury. N. Y.; William Dwight Symmes, New York. Sea Girt, where the collision took place, is just 12 miles down the New Jersey coast from Asbury Park. Last S ptember crowds stood on the beach at Asbury Park and watched the Ward liner Morro Castle turn night into day with her funeral pyre. Last night watchers stood on the shore at Sea Girt watching anew ship disaster. Decks Ablaze With Lights These watchers saw the searchnights of the rescue ships sweeping the sea like long fingers. Now and then they fell on lifeboats, visible rhrough binoculars. These lifeboats, trailed every inch of the way by the finger of light, rowed up to the side of the ship and their human cargo taken aboard. The decks of the doomed Mohawk were ablaze with light. Through binoculars, watchers could make out dimly boats inching down her sides. Then the Mohawk seemed to lunge forward. Then her lights went out. No one need have said what had happened, but an oil-skinned fisherman among the watchers did say to his companion: “Thar she went, mate. Another good ship for Davy.” The Coast Guardsmen returning from the scene of the disaster reported the two empty lifeboats were lashed together and floating near the spot where the mother ship plunged to the bottom. Fresh from a long search for missing passengers and sailors of the ill-fated liner, the Guardsmen were convinced that some of the missing were dead. The lifeboats were encountered at 3 a. m. One was so filled with water that it was kept on the surface only by the line that held it to the other. The other was half filled with water. The Coast Guard surfboat commanded by Boatswain H. B. Tuttle circled several times, without sighting swimmers or bodies.

Enough of Shipwrecks Tuttle pointed out that the fact the boats were lashed together was an ominous indication. If the boats had been launched empty as a test, or if they had broken loose from the Mohawk when she plunged, they would not be lashed together. But officers in charge of lifeboats often lash them together to prevent scattering. he said. Tuttle’s surfboat transferred 18 of the survivors picked up by the S. S Limon to the cutter Champlain. The men. all Mohawk sailors, were lowered into the surfboat by ropes and then hoisted abroad the Champlain. Two sailors suffered intensely from frozen hands. Another had three broken ribs. One Mohawk sailor told Tuttle it was his third shipwreck in five months. He was aboard the Morro Castle and the Havana. “That sailor said to me: Tm getting tired of shipwrecks,’ ” Tuttle said. Tuttle said the sea at the scene of the wreck was heavy and that a strong wind made near zero temperature almost unbearable. He did not believe that passengers and crew floating all night in life boats could survive. The Mohawk crew sai:’ the collision was unexpected. They told Tuttle the ship filled v.th extraordinary speed. The last they saw of Cant. Wood he was on his bridge, -till thinking of beaching his ship. They believed he and some members of his crew’ had gone dow’n with the ship. Federal Probe Ordered Hn l uited Press WASHINGTON. Jan 25.—A Federal inquiry into the sinking of the Ward Liner Mohawk was ordered today by Joseph B. Weaver, chief of the Commerce Department’s bureau oi navigation and steamboat inspection service.

Crew of Doomed Liner ‘Perfect,’ Say Survivors of Atlantic Tragedy

Lifeboats Pushed Off With Minimum of Excitement, They Relate. (Continued From Page One) lar tune, when suddenly there was a tremendous crash. The ship shook. Several passengers were knocked? off their feet Some women shrieked. But men passengers and officers calmed them down quickly. “Members of the crew? circulated among us and told us to get life belts. They assured us there was nothing to w’orry about. "When the officers got us on the deck the Mohawk began to list sharply. We had an awful struggle, my wife and I, getting up to the lifeboats and We slipped back several times before we were able to reach the boat. In Water 20 Minutes “About 15 minutes alter the collision we lowered away in life boats. All of those lowered got away without any trouble, although one appealed to be stuck for a moment. | ’ "We rode away from the sinking j ship. I took a hand at one of the oars. It was a clear night. The I seas were fairly smooth. In the moonlight I could see the Mohawk nosing into the water, i "We had been in the water about .20 minutes w’hen the Algonquin , picked us up. We got fine treatment aboard the Alonquin. I unI derstand the captain of the Mohawk, who was with the Clyde-Mal-i lory Line, is missing. I want to salute him for the efficiency of his crew.” Dorothy Dann, Mansfield, 0., w 7 ho was in the first beat lowered, smiled | as she recalled that just before the crash the cruise director told the passengers; "And I promise you we’re all going to have a good time.” Find Water in Lifeboat She said there were about 30 in her boat, mostly women and chili dren. i "After we pulled aw’ay from the Mohawk we discovered there was water in the bottom of the boat. It kept rising until it w 7 as wash ng around our ankles. Then someone found a plug was missing. We plugged up the hole and rowed around for about two hours before we were picked up.” Kenneth Wheeler. 22. smoking , room steward whose home is in Detroit. said he "lost his voice” as a 1 result of exposure in the life boat. He told his story in a low whisper. Also On Morro Castle “There were six of us rowing in the lifeboat.” he said. “But after a while we were so numb we had to stop rowing. The Mohawk tipped to a 90-degree angle and I jumped from a davit on the low starboard side to the lifeboat. I was on the Morro Castle, too. But I took off the week of the fire and missed it. “I was in the smoking room of the Mohawk when the crash happened. There were two others with me at the time, but we remained very calm. I went up on deck and got some blankets for the children. When I jumped into the lifeboat I must have jumped eight or 10 feet. Every one I saw had life preservers.” Haggard from their experience, Mrs. E. Bates McKee and Mrs. Oswald B. Lord, daughters of Charles Pillsbury. Minnesota flour magnate, disembarked from the rescue liner Algonquin and were quickly embraced by their husbands. | Both women were bundled in blankets. "We each have a temperature,” said Mrs. Lord. "We need a doctor. I'm sorry we can not tell you what happened on the Mohawk, but we must get home.” They went to the home of Mrs. Lord. Mrs. Bates resides in Mt. Kisco. Interviewed on Algonquin Chief Officer Cort M. Pedersen was in No. 1 h*old making an inspection when the crash occurred. "I ran to the bridge,” he said. He was interviewed aboard the Algonquin as he sat between Chauncey I. Clark, counsel for the Ward line, and Capt. J. W. McKenzie, master of the Algonquin. Pedersen said he didn’t know what j happened to the other officers. The last orders from the captain

; came through Third Officer Robert S. Jackson, he said. They were, “Lower No. 2 lifeboat and shove off.” “At that time,” Pedersen said, “there were no pasengers left aboard.” Knew Ship Was “In Bad Way” Asked whether his ship whistled, as requested by marine law in time of disaster, Pedersen said “yes.” Asked whether he was ordered to the hold to inspect the rent torn by the Talisman, Pedersen said: “I can’t answer that.” “We knew we were in a bad way and didn’t have to make an inspection,” he said when pressed. Clark broke in and said, “They i (newspaper men) are trying to get a headline reading ‘Chief Officer ! Guilty of Neglect.’ ” Pedersen said the Mohawk left New York at 5 p. m. It stopped near Ambrose Lightship to calibrate the compass. He refused to say what orders i the captain gave after the crash. Taken Aboard Quickly Capt. McKenzie said his ship picked up the Mohawk's first SOS at 9:20 p. m. The Algonquin had passed the Mohawk only a half -hour earlier. He awaited further signals, he said, because his wireless operator said the distress call indicated the Mohawk had been beached. A second call was received at 9:22 and he turned and raced for the Mohawk’s side. McKenzie said he took the Algonquin to the leeward of the Mohawk and was preparing to lower lifeboats when first boats from the Mohawk were sighted. Lower cargo doors of the AlgonI quin were opened and the survivors quickly taken aboard.

MOTHER TOILS FOR HALF HOUR AT BOAT'S OARS

Cuban Woman Is Heroine of Sea Disaster Off N. J. Coast. By United Pres* NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—Mother love made Mrs. Carolina Diaz, 40, of Cuba, the heroine of the Mohawk disaster and she was credited with saving 20 lives. With her 10-year-old son, Mrs. Diaz clambered into a lifeboat in which there were 12 women and six men. Soon the men were overcome by the cold. Realizing the next high wave would swamp the boat, Mrs. Diaz placed her sons in the arms of a woman and jumped for a wildlythrashing oar released by one of the unconscious sailors. For half an hour she fought desperately to keep the boat headed into the sea so it would not ship water. Her gloves were shredded by friction. Spray froze on her face and hair but she clung to the oar. When the men in the boat revived they took over the oars and Mrs. Diaz went back to her son. ‘‘After all,” she said, “what else could I do. There was my little Emilio.” 10 Miles From Morro Castle By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—Less than 10 miles south of Sea Girt, N. J., where the Ward Liner Mohawk went down last night, lies the hulk of the Morro Castle from the same line, which was beached on the New Jersey coast after 124 lives had been lost in a fire at sea last Sept. 8. The rescue liner Algonquin, bringing some passengers and members of the crew of the Mohawk into New York, passed almost within sight of the Morro Castle, blocking part of the Asbury Park (N. J.) waterfront. Loss of the $3,000,000 Morro Castle was a staggering blow to the Ward Line, which since that disaster has advertised under their parent company name of the ’New York and Cuba Mail Steamship Cos. In addition passengers and relatives of the dead or injured have filed suits aggregating millions against the company. In the four months since the Morro Castle tragedy the Ward Line has suffered further losses. On Dec. 8, the Cauto lost her propellor off Jacksonville, Fla., and narrowly escaped serious trouble. Then, on Jan. 6, the Havana ran aground on a shoal north of the Bahamas.

CHINESE READY TU ASK PEACE • Chahar Defender to Submit to Japanese Terms, Is Report. (Copyright. 1935. bv United Press) PIEPING, Jan. 25.—General Sung Cheh-Yuan, Chinese governor of Chahar province, was reported ready today to capitulate to the demands of a Japanese military force that he withdraw w’ithin the Great Wall of China. Fighting ceased in the area after three days of guerrilla-like warfare in which at least 50 Chinese and 19 Nippon soldiers lost their lives. The Japanese rested after taking possession of a strip of north China claimed jointly by Manchukuo and Chahar. Consolidating their position before the great wall, which for centuries has guarded China from its northern enemies, the Japanese sent word to Gen. Sung that they are ready to discuss over the conference table the dispute about the JeholChahar boundary. Japanese scouting and bombing planes flew over the area, circling the walled city of Tushihkou. Maj. Takahashi, Japanese military attache in Peiping, admitted the city had been bombed Thursday. He said there will be no further operations as long as troops of both sides maintain their present position. Tension in Peiping and Kalgan diminished. BUSINESS IMPROVING, CITY REALTORS AGREE Board Anticipates Another Rally During Year. Members of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board agree that there was a distinct improvement in local real estate conditions during the last six months of 1934 and they anticipate another rally as soon as more wage earners return to work. Their conclusions were reached at a luncheon of board members at the Washington yesterday. William F. Hurd, city building commissioner, pointed out that since 1930 more permits for the wrecking of residential buildings have been granted han for the construction of similar buildings. 25 ARE NATURALIZED IN U. S. COURT HERE Sixteen Men Employed Are Commended by Judge Baltzell. Sixteen men, all employed except one who said he was a farmer and not sure that he “really was working.” and nine women were given j their final naturalization papers today by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell. Judge Baltzell listed the farmer, Erasmus J. Harlow, R. R. 1, Indianapolis. as employed and recalled days on a farm in Illinois when he worked for “30 cents a day.” The | judge commended the men for bei ing employed instead of on relief ; rolls.
