 PROBABLY WRECKED
Wreckage Picked up in Gulf Con- sidered Part of Lost
 Vessel

New Orleans, August 30.-Wreckage picked up in the gulf and brought into port tonight by the United Fruit liner Surname is believed by marine men to be debris from the liner Marowijne, which is supposed to have been lost at sea two weeks ago. Several pieces of timber. apparently from the superstruc- ture of steamer, paint cabinet such as the Marowijne Is known to have had aboard, and an empty gasoline drum were among the objects found. The gasoline drum bears the address of a concern in Belize. British Honduras, from which port the Marowijne sailed for New Or leans. The steamer regularly brought empty drums from Central American ports to New Orleans 1t was said, and 1t is believed that when the individual number of the drum is compared with the number of drums aboard the vessel when it left Belize. it will prove to be one that was part of the Marowijne' S cargo. The drum was picked up 1855 miles north of Progreso. Mex, and at a point west of the regular course the Marowijne is supposed to have been following. Of- f1cials of the United Fruit company to- night were reticent concerning the wreck age aboard the Suriname, declaring that thorough examination of it could not be made before tomorrow

He would give no explanation as to the reason why he was registered under an as- sumed name at the Terminal hotel. He claims to have been In the city for only a few days and says he is an electrician by trade.

 The distance between the vessels was less than two miles. and between short intervals the submarine would rise to the surface. exposing it's periscope. and dive again to escape the fire from the trans- port.

 Authorities at San
 Antonio

San Antonio Tex, August 30.-With the arrest of 2s Mexicans, 23 of whom were detained late today, police and federal authorities believe plan to incite the Mexican population of San Antonio to deeds of violence has been nipped.
 According to the police, the prisoners are all adherents to the plan of San Diego, a manifesto which proclaims Texas a republic for Mexicans.
 Since the disturbance in the Browns vile territory special agents of the United States department of justice and police here have kept a watch to prevent a possible uprising in San Antonio. It was learned that members of two organi- zations of inflammatory nature are here in numbers.
 Three Mexicans, generally recognized as leaders of the colony here, were ar rested Sunday night while addressing a crowd of 1000 Mexicans in a public plaza here. The remarks of the men were of nature calculated to arouse the lower classes of their countrymen to deeds of violence.
 After one speaker declared it is no harm to kill Gringo and an Allamain''- an American and a German-police charged the meeting and after a fight arrested the three speakers.
 Following this incident a drag net was instituted by police and the 23 Mexicans taken into custody today.
 The prisoners will be turned over to the federal authorities. Charges of trea- son may lie against them if they are con- nected with any plan for an uprising, it is said here.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the QrnheIlnn

The Orpheum players opened the week s entertainment at the Orpheum theatre last night by presenting the thrilling and popular melodrama, Human Hearts," a story that has been told over and over on the stage, and of the presentation of | this heart interest play last night it may
 be said that it's production was indeed a
 success for this strong and popular com pany of people
 Miss Lottie Glenmore as Samantha Lo- | gan, or Mother Logan" whose heart was sad, was one of the best characteri-
 zations since her appearance here with
 this company and, too, W. R. Chagnon, l the attractive leading man as Tom Lo- gan, whose heart was noble surpassed l his previous endeavors.
 Ira Martin was in the part of Uncle
 Nose who stole that he might go to
 prison with Tom Logan. and Russell Hampton was in the heavy part of Fred erick Armsdale. the associate of the un- | faithful wife, handling his part in very acceptable manner.
 katheryn Welch, who appeared for the | first time last week with the Orpheum players. again attracted admiration in l her juvenile part. James Park, who has
 become popular favorite with the Or pheum patrons, was Jem Mason, the tramp, the man with faint heart, and
 in his usual excellent manner carried a very fine vein of comedy that relieved the | intensity of the play
 l The other members in their parts were all that the play required. especially with
 Miss Edith Kurtz as the unfaithful wife | The opening night in the presentation
 of Human Hearts was most satisfac-
 tory and that it was indicative of the
 best offering yet by the Orpheum play CTS Is judged by the appreciative ap- plause throughout the action of the play It promises to be a play that will test
 the capacity of this popular theatre throughout the week.
