The first three innings saw the Ath ‘ens outfit collect 7 runs to 4 for the losers, and it looked :as: gough the contest would be a | B ug-fest. However, Davis replaced Ram ~sey on the mound for Union Point | at that stage of the contest andl _proceeded to set the visitors down | v:?yith only two hits and one nmi ,Iguring the remaining six innings. ! : ~‘j:sv‘"W‘hitehead also tightened up at| ?ﬁle end of the third and allo\vedl ‘the ultimate losers only two hits | ‘and norunsup until the nintp in-| ning. Then the Union Pointers | _started one of those rallies that| _you read about, but it fell’ uneg run ‘short when Jim Beusse made a spectacular throw from center fleld to catch Newsom at home for the final out. Beli€se, Cauthen, J. Tucker :mdl Rhodes led the batting for the‘ winners with two hits each, one of Rhodes' being a triple, tho! _longest hit of the game. Pullins, local first baseman, led the losers’i itting,, with two for three. > : ';r.m:%ox score: HLeftovers”"— AB RHPO AEI W Tucker, ss. . 5 0,0 4 3 0] Gt 1. .. .. .. 6 1 113 0 n} (Henese, of. .. .. 65 2 2 1 1 0} Gauthen 2b. ... 4 IN\2 2 3 0] Whitenbad, v. .. 4 1 1 1 4 0 ,Anderson, 3b. .. 3 0 0 1 3 3| SN, £oo .4 11 10 1 i{, Bekar o ... % I°2 8.1 Q& e X, ... 41 2 300 @ wi-,f : B N S E Metals .. .... 38 8112115 3 _Union Point— AB R H PO A E :gmmﬁ, 4 s . 5 0.0 2 5.0 Newsom, Bb. ... 6 0 1 2.1 1 ta&mderson, c. ... 5 0 1 8 1 0 t,{g B ¢ 20 10 “Barpheart, 2b. . 4 1 1 2 1 ¢ *Ramsey, p-rs. .. 4 01 110 (Sehgeon, 1. .... 4 2 2 I°o 0 Sillias, of. .. .. 2 2 0 3 0 1 Sline, Ib. .. .. 3 13801 3}2‘;.'\' > —— e —— %s'wm a 8 .

Additional statements Saturday ;by the committeemen showed the group generally agreed not only ‘tha.t similar foreign investigations ‘should follow, but also that war 'should be stripped of its profits through government monopoly in ‘munitions manufacture. The consensus of committeemen ‘was that facts devetoped in the first week of hearings exceeded even their own expectations, and should stir other nations to check up the situation in their oWwn provinces. Reports from England, which country hag figured extensively in disclosures made here, indicate ¢ movement already is under way there to launch an investigation into munitions making. Meanwhile, the committee held an executive session today and ap proved a new list of witnesses to ’be- called’ when the hearings are resumed next week. Subjects - for inquiry will be American-made poison gas, machine guns, air ‘planes and other war equipment. The protest Saturday by the Ar lgentina government concerned a remark hy Senator Bone Ilast Tuesday during testimony about ’Admiral Ismael Galindez, chief of ‘the Argentine naval commission in Europe in 1927. ’ Bone Saturday declined to re ‘tract what the Argentine govern ‘ment said reflected on the .nte grity of Galindez. “Let the record speak for itself,” said Bone. “I never heard of this gentleman hefore. All I know is evidence was laid before the com mittee that somebody was ‘doing the needful’ and names were men tioned.

Some said lightning struck the liner. Reports from Havana that it might have been sabotage by striking dock workers were quickly denied, botn by Havana officials and officials i"f the line. . Leaving Havana Wednesday eve ' ning, all was gaiety . aboard the ’Morro Castle until news of the [('aptain's death spread over the decks Friday night. By midnight, }all was quiet. Most of the passen ' gers were asleep in thelr cabins. It was the last night out. To morrow they’'d be home—but the morrow birought only disaster and terror, ? This section ol the Atlantic has known many disasters. Only a fiw miles to the south, gown by Barnegat Lighthouse, the Akron had gone down a year ago. Far ther down, in 1928, the Vestris had sunk in a gale, S L e Firs¢ Reports At 2:23 a. m., the wireless crack led through the storm the news of the latest tragedy of the seas: *5.0.8! 8.0.5! Morro Castle — afire 20 miles south of Scotland lightship.” Scotland light is the welcoming beacon for ships plying north In New York on the coastal routes. But Saturday morning, it served only to mark the spot of death. ‘ Wireless stations notified coast guards, At once the seaboard was awakenedq for the rescue. A few seconds later came word of tpe seriousness of the fire — only a few words, but ominous: “ . . . Fire jusg ouside radio raom, .. " : The message ended, the radio was gone, the outside world was cut off. Confusing were the accounts on board the flaming ship. Some sur vivors said there was no disorder, others said the decks were fillea with milling, screaming throngs of men, women and children. Members of the crew in their quarters forward of the library— some of them saying the fire spread first to a fuel tank nearby— scram bled to the decks, smashed in win dows of the cabins, hurried to the lifeboats. 4 Seek to Gain 'Deck Passengers, clag in nightclothes, some wearing bathrobes, opened their doors, seeking to gain the decks. To reach the upper deck and the lifeboats meant braving the flames and the dense smoke, made all the more suffocating by the drizzle and fog that held it down low—like a shroud over a lifeless form. Some passengers paid no heed, members of th 2 crew said, to their orders to break.through and head for the upper deck. They stayed on the lower deck. The deck was one of the most crowded. Orly eight boats put away from the ship—each capable of carry in,; upward of 50 persons. But some had only a handful aboara. Scores of persons jumped or slid down ropes to the sea — startea swimming for the shore eigh; iniles away. ¥ The fire raged at its worst, ap parently, on the port side. Here. cnly twe boats were lowered from the davits. Six put off from the starboard side. % Most of those who made the Jer sey shore in the lifeboats were members of the crew. Some survivors picked up from the dark and churning waters sev erely criticized the manners of the 2rew. I''n‘amin Hirsch, Phaldelphma haberdasher, declared members of tke crew “never turned a hand to help us.” Tales of Tragedy There were many tales of tra gedy. Mothers were torn from children; wives and husbands were seiarated. 808 ABRM Vi ao las o waimaieaasnes The sea was littered with those who jumped from the ,decks of death. Living up to the best trdition of the sea, the liners in the immed iate vicinity raced toward the Morro Castle when the 8.0.8. was sounded. Three of them stood by for hours, searcheg the waters for the scores of passengers who Jjumped, then steamed on to New York with those rescued. The boats were: The Monarch of Bermuda, with 72 rescued. One of those picked up from the waters by the famous cruise ship’s lifeboats died. Oth ers were in dying condition ana rushed to hospitals upon arrival in New York. The City of Savannah brought 60 survivors. The freighter Andrea F. Lucken bach had 22 of the rescued. Throughout thie day, fishing boats, pleasure craft and tugboats put out from the-Jersey shore, wal lowing through the heavy seas to join the rescue. Many were forc ed back, unable to stand the buf feting, 5 The fishing schooner Paramount withstood the waves, bobbed about the seas close to the liner ana rescued 70 persons. Its decks and small cabin were filled to capacity‘ when it returned to shore. To guide the rescuers, airplanes mobilizeq by the New Jersey na tional guard flew over the waters, clipping when a swimmer or a body was sighted. Governor Responds In one of these planes was Gov ernor A, Harry Mooze, of New Jer sey. He rushed from his summer home at Sea Girt to lend a hand in mobilizing the forces of the rescue. . “T'll never forget the face of one man peering at me from the sea as he struggled for his lifs,” he said. “I could see many of those in the water had life belts impro perly adjusted.” As bodies floated to the shore or were picksd up, a morgue _Wwas opened by the national guard-Tn Sea Girt. PBodies were brought in two and three at a time. Coffiqs were rushed from New York ana other towns. Several persons swam through the battering swells to. the shore. Among these were Mr. and Mrs Abraham Cohen, of Hartforad, Conn, - : As she lay on a hospital cot in, ironically enough, Pt. Pleasant, Mrs. Cohen—her husband resting by her side—told of their escape, graphically picturing the scene aboard the ship. The Cohens jumped into the sea. Side by side they swam. But others were not so fortunate. One man neared the surr. Watch ers on shore plunged into aid him. He was dragging the lifeless form of a woman. Saturday night, the search con tinued. The nor-easter still pound ed the shore. Rain fell in sheets through the fog. KEstates along the swanky stretch of Jersey shore were thrown open to survivors. A trainload of the rescued, ad ministratered aid. by hastily-sum moned physicians, sped towara hospitals in New York, Thousands of persons crowdea the shoreline during the dgay. They followed the tedious work of beach ing the liner. When the coast guard cutter had towed her into 35 feet of water near Asbury Park, the flames still flared aft. All else was a twisted mass of wreckage above the hull line. The flames spurted through the port holes, adding to the weird ness of the night. Firemen Summoned Fire fighting equipment from meighboring Jersey towns was sum moned to lend aid. What was once the pride of the Ward line—launched In 1930 at a cost of s4,Boo,ooo—was but a hunk of desolation. As the survivors, many of them treated by hostily-summon¢d phy sicians, were warmeq up to talk ing, they gave hasty accounts of the night of fear and tragedy. The story of one: who swam ashore was told by Martha Brad bury, a nurse in the Presbyterian hospital in New York. She ana her shipmate, Lillian Davison — both bound home from a vacation cruise—jumped and started swim ming, i 2 Soon, Lillian tired, . | “About two hours later,” Miss Bradbury said, ‘I heard Lillian ery out that she couldn’t keep up much longer. Then, I looked for her ana she was gone.” Miss Bradbury swam for ten hours before a rescue tug *picked her up. Against Tide The tide in the early morning hours was racing out from the Jer sey shore—buffeting all the way those that tried to swim to safety. At the Ward line’s offices ‘during the day, crowds of relatives gath ered. There was tne agony of the long hours of waiting—waiting to see if a relative had survived- When word of a rescued one was received there was joy. But for many there was sadness. There were 318 passengers and 240 members of the crew on the trim, rakish Morro Castle. . The ship, launched in 1930 anq built at a cost of $4,800,000 by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydocks company, left Havana Wednesday evening. o One of the clearest accounts of the tragedy was given by Captain ‘Albert Francis of the Monarch of Bermuda, who described the scene for the Associated Press. “We approached the liner, we could see the pood devils, hear them screaming and shouting for assist ance. By the time we got there, thefine had pretty well engulfed the entire hboat.
