g. . Mr. Anderson was arrested yesterday at the Prosecutor's office where he went to surrender when his attorney learned a bench warrant had been issued.

Claims Submitted to Trustee

All claims first are submitted to the trustee’s office for checking before they are certified to the County Auditor for payment. Developments during the first week of the Grand Jury investigation of the Center Township relief situation include: 1. Announcement that County Attorney John Linder will file suit to recover sums paid on false claims. 2. Orders by Mr. Linder that October relief claims not be paid until after the present investigation is completed. 3. Announcement by Mr. Quinn that he would call the township Advisory Board into session next week to consider appointment of a committee of “hard boiled,” disinterested businessmen to revamp the method of handling relief into a graft-proof, business-like system. Freed on $1000 Bond Shortly after his arrest yesterday, Mr." Anderson was freed under $1000 bond signed by John M. Hare, head of a wholesale grocery firm. Mr. Anderson operates two groceries, the Martindale Market at 22d St. and Martindale Ave., and Anderson’s Market, 2805 E. 10th St. Claims filed by the two groceries for September totaled $12,962, or more-than 17 per cent of the total grocery claims filed by more than 50 grocers. The Martindale Market was opened by Mr. Anderson last January a few days after Mr. Quinn took office, and immediately began receiving large numbers of orders diverted from other groceries. A study of claims filed in the Auditor's office reveals the Martindale Market delivers relief orders to persons living as far away from the store as the 300 block, W. Ohio St., a distance of more than three miles. Many persons assigned to the market complained they were forced to walk more than a mile, passing several other stores en route, to reach the Martindale Market.

while before he was swept over the side, when the wave tore away a lifeboat and a stretch of railing, he told a passenger: “I'm through. This is my last trip.” Bones snapped and passengers lay stunned in lounges, on companionways, and even on the waterswept decks. Twenty-five of those aboard had no chance to tell their stories, for they were carried off ship on stretchers to the waiting ambulances. Water Tears Away Clothing

Thirty-six men had two stories to relate, for they were crew members of the British ship Heronspool, rescued at sea by the United States liner. Capt. Sidney Batson of the Heronspool praised the seamanship of those handling the President Harding while his own men told of the running fight with the German Uboat that sank them. All passengers agreed that in the moments that followed the passing of the great wave there was indescribable confusion. Men and women alike had their clothing torn away by the water. Chairs and other furniture were smashed. Those who escaped injury—and these included all children aboard—said that “arms and legs seemed to be sticking up everywhere.” First reaction to the wall of water, all reported, was to grab the nearest support and hold on. There was little screaming; everyone was SO taken by surprise. Passengers and crew hung onto stanchions and other supports for dear life, for the heavy liner rocked back and forth in the sea like a canoe in a rapids. Louis Kartinski, mathematics professor at the University of Michigan, one of the passengers, said that by official recording, the ship had careened 39.7 degrees. Dr. Hugh S. Bonner, Boston, one of the seven doctors among the passengers, said there was utmost confusion and that it was impossible for some time to mobilize the doctors for any efficient care of the injured.

and I suppose other doctors did the same. The corridors were in indescribable confusion. It seemed as if arms and legs were sticking up everywhere.” Several passengers said George Schwerdtfger, 54, a bedroom steward, had saved seven passengers from certain death. They were sitting on the port side of the promenade deck, the backs of their chairs against the wall. The wave struck the port side, but it was dark and the passengers did not see it coming. It swept them through a double doorway onto the starboard side, where they piled up under a lifeboat, precariously close to the edge of the ship. Mr. Schwerdtfger ran out, seized 70-year-old Mrs. William Buckner, by the heels just as she was going over and hauled her back. Then he dragged the other six to safety, one at a time, Mr. Schwerdtfger said: “I was kicked seven times in the head and body while I rolled around the floor. Women’s dresses were torn completely off. Muddy water sloshed onto everything. I saw a man whirled from one end of the room to the other and fall on an old woman and hurt her badly.” People were limping along the decks, many with black eyes or bandaged heads.

ing that the submarine had been sunk in the Mediterranean.

The Germans countered with a claim that “numerous” German warships had escaped the British blockade and had inflicted far greater casualties than the British have admitted. The only loss the British have admitted to such raiders is the steamer Clement, supposedly sunk in the South Atlantic by the German pocket battleship Admiral Scheer. Hostilities on the Western Front were at a standstill because of heavy rains. In Paris military experts asserted that the French early this week had withdrawn voluntarily from lines on German soil because they knew it would not be possible to stage a major offensive at this time of year. The French contended that their present lines, on or close to their own frontier, are stronger than the lines from which they withdrew. The French war office communique described a quiet night on the Western Front with artillery fire and patrol activity in the sector between the Moselle and Saar Rivers. The French Cabinet met for two hours and discussed the economic and mil.ary situations but decisions were reserved for a later meeting. The Army High Command in Berlin announced further French withdrawals from German soil, especially from portions of the Warndt Forest. The German come mand noted increased artillery and patrol activity between the Moselle River and Saarbruecken. : In London the British continued preparations for a war to the finish. Routine regulations brought an additional 250,000 youthful conscripts to the colors. After six months of training they will be con-

Andrews Calls for Repeal; - Barkley to Seek Debate Limit Monday.

BULLETIN WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (U. P.). —Senator Robert R. Reynolds: (D. N. C.), a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, told - the Senate today that there is “strong circumstantial evidence” that Russia sank th: British passenger vessel Athenia.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (U. PJ). —Retention of the existing arms embargo may cause the defeat of England and France in the European war and deprive this country of “buffer states against Fascism and Communism,” Senator Charles O. Andrews (D. Fla.) told the Senate today at the conclusion of three weeks’ debates on the Administration’s neutrality program. When the Senate encountered some difficulty in obtaining a

‘quorum for today’s- debate, Demo-

cratic Leader Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky announced that he would attempt to enforce a limitation on debate beginning Monday. Senator Andrews, an ardent New Dealer and advocate of repeal of the ban on arms shipments to belligerents, said that “the opinion prevails” that Herr Hitler and Dictator: Stalin, if victorious in Europe, “would not be satisfied until they force the United States to war in self-defense and in defense of the Monroe Doctrine.” |

Downey Offers Amendment

The first amendment to the Neutrality Bill to retain the arms embargo was offered by Senator Sheridan Downey (D. Cal). His proposa? would make it unlawful to export arms, ammunition or jmplements of war “from any place in the United States, except to nations on the American continents engaged in war against a non-American state or states.” ' Senator Arthur Capper (R. Kas), in a radio address on the American

Grange hour, urged the farmers “not

to let go of the fact” that the European war “is not our war.” “This war is another of that long succession of European wars over boundaries, over spoils, for power.”

Door Shut to Further Changes

Chairman Key Pittman (D. Nev.) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said the Administration had ‘reached its limit” in agreeing to strengthen cash-and-

carry provisions of the present bill

and to liberalize restrictions on American shipping. “We have gone as far as it is

safe to go,” Mr. Pittman said in

an interview. ’ “I therefore will oppose any fur-

ther liberalization.

“The issue now is brought down

to the question of retention or repeal of the existing embargo law.”

Hoover Amplifies Views

General debate probably will end and consideration of amendments will start then. Leaders

on both sides believe a final vote late next week is probable.

Former President Herbert Hoover,

an advocate of an embargo on “offensive arms,” amplified his views in

a speech in ‘New York which was

transmitted from. coast to coast by the National Broadcasting Co. last night.

He asserted that failure by the

United States to remain at peace will mean a prolonged dictatorship

in this country, loss of millions of

lives, and economic disaster.

Mr, Hoover, whose neutrality program is supported by Col. Charles . Lindbergh, insisted that the United ;, States should embargo “bombing planes, their ammunition,

poison gas and submarines” as “of-

fensive weapons.” Borah Causes Flurry

Meanwhile, a flurry of controversy developed over a suggestion by Senator William E. Borah (R. Ida.), isolationist leader, that. the White House make public a transcript of what transpired at a neutrality conference of House and Senate leaders with President Roosevelt last summer. : Asked if he would bring the subject up during Senate debate on the neutrality issue, Mr. Borah replied: “I don’t feel that I can open up

part of the conversation without

divulging the whole conversation.” Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. (R. Mass.) said that he planned to press for an amendment to modify resizicuons on shipping to Canadian ports.

Lindbergh Criticized

“Senator Guy M. Gillette (D. Ia.) and Senator Edward R. Burke (D. Neb.), planned to_offer an amendment to exempt Canadian trade from the bill's provisions requiring transfer of title before goods could be shipped. * In the debate yesterday Senator Prentiss M. Brown (D. Mich.), as a supporter of the arms embargo repeal, charged that Col. Lindbergh had delivered a “gratuitious insult” to Canada and has made statements that “lend encouragement to the spirit of nationalistic imperialism.”

There were 227 from the Yorkshire —men, women and children. There were 57 from the Mandalay. The Yorkshire’s owners had announced in England that she carried 278 persons, ingluding her crew. If the Independence Hall's figures are correct, the loss of 51 lives in the Yorkshire torpedoing is indi-

Among the survivors, were a number who had been hurt, more or less seriously. In addition, there were two orphans—Hazel Armstrong, 6, and her brother, Kenneth, 7, of Wickham, England, whose father and mother had gone down in the Yorkshire. There was a fourmonths old baby, Margaret Cole, whose mother had been lost and there was Mrs. J. A. Harris of Plymouth, England, who had lost her foyr children.

MacKenzie sent everyone ashore—including his American passengers and his crew— so his ship could be fumigated. He was reticent about the tragedy and his part in it. He displayed a letter the masters of the Mandalay and the Yorkshire—both were res|eued—had given him thanking him for his work. .
