HURRICANES ARE
SWEEPING OCEAN
VESSELS REPORT
For the Third Successive
Day Shippers of Ships
Arriving at New York Tell
of Terrific Storms

New York, Dec. 27.--More
stories of terror at sea were
brought into New York today when
the steamship La Savoie steamed
into quarantine forty hours late.
1t was the third successive day
that shippers of incoming ships
had reported terrific hurricanes
sweeping the Atlantic.
La Savoie reported picking up
a series of S o S calls from the
steamer Tudor Star and then hear
ing no more from her. This led
the French liners officers to be-
lieve that the Tudor Star might
have gone down, but the freight
ers agents later heard later re-
ports that the ship, rudderless and
pounded by the waves had been
taken in tow by rescue ship.
Shortly after the La Savoie came
in, the Cunard line steamer Caro-
MIA arrived and once more the
stories of hurricanes and heavy
waves were told. At one time dur
ing the storm, Captain Doggle, her
skipper, said, the Caronia careened
at an angle Of "a IL degrees. Port
holes on both sides of the ship
were shattered,
The Caronia put into Halifax
Christmas morning to escape the
battering of the waves and was de-
layed As hours in making New
York.
Masters OF outgoing ships
scanned the heavens anXiously to-
day, for a warning was issued by
the weather bureau predicting
gales from Delaware Breakwater

her she said that she didn't. She
said he had done it for a reason.
She said, in answer to question,
that the rest or her family had
appreciated what he had done.
Said Guest Slapped Her
She said that she had not wanted
TO be with Guest but was afraid
not to be. In this connection she
said that Guest had slapped her
and also that she did 50 because
she was afraid If she didn't she
would be put in Jail. Wood then
said he did not see why she should
have had such fear at Roswell
when Guest was only a capain in
the Salvation Army and no other
officer. At this point also the girl
interrupted, eXclairing:
He was. roo, an officer. He
was juvenile officer and probation
airy officer and every other kind of
officer"
Conrad Gallegos was called to
the stand after the girl had fin
ished. His testimony was offered
but there was no cross cNlmlla-
ton. His testimony was largely
corroborative of that of the girl
as far as her testimony had refer
red to him.
He said that Guest had told him
that Ethel Patterson's father had
told Guest that if the Gallegos boy
did not stop going with Ethel he,
Patterson, would shoot the boy
brains out. He also stated that he
had asked the girl why she went
with Guest so much and why she
went in the Salvation Army so
much in the afternoon. He said
that it was after this she had told
him everything about it" and had
asked him about the book which
would stop her trouble.
Judge Holloman ordered recess
at $50 p. IN. He ordered court to
reconvene at 900 this morning.
Those who attended the hearing

1t will be possible to finish the

POLICE WITHOUT
SLIGHTEST CLUE
IN GIRL 8 DEATH
Body Is Found With a .22
CaIiher Bullet Through
the Heart in Toy-Littered
Room of Her Home

New York, Dec. 27.--More than
thlrty-six hours after thew began
their investigation. the police to-
night confessed themselves baffled
in their search for a solution of
circumstances surrounding the
death of Theresa Mccarthy, 10
year-old school girl. whose body
with a .22 caliber bullet through
the heart, was found in a toy-llt-
tered room of her Brooklyn home
yesterday.
The Investigation, after the po-
lice had laboriousiy dissipated a
half dozen nebulous clues, sifted
down to two theories.
The first, the one considered
most credible by the police, was
that the child was accidentally shot
by a playmate who had been given
u gun of small caliber as a Christ
mas present.
The second theory. which the
police say they had little faith in,
was that the child was shot down
by sailor. Of whom Theresa and
several of her girl friends had COM
planned several weeks ago, declar-
ing that he had annoyed them.
Was Not Assaulted
An autopsy today by Medical Ex-
aminer Norris provided the princi-
pal grounds for the theory Of ac-
cidenta1 death. The medical ex-
aminer said the girl had not been
assaulted.
The 20 ca1iber soft-nosed bullet
that passed through the heart. he
found, went straight through the
body. indicating that the gun muz-
zle was on a level with the child's
breast at the time of the explosion.
Powder marks on the clothes indt-
Gated that the shot had been fired
at close range.
More than 100 boys living in the
neighborhood Of the Mccarthy
home were questioned by the de-
tectives in a search for one who
might have received a .22 caliber
pistol or rifle as a Christmas gift.
The police also re-examined the
girls father. Edward Mccarthy. a
painter and war veteran, who has
been separated from the girls

The senate debate today was in
flowing galleries. opened by Sem

fairs in the senate for many
months, recalling the old Versailles
treaty fight, some aspects of which
entered into today's discussion.
Declarations against cancellation
of European debts to America and
for withdrawal OF American troops
from the Rhine We're prominent in
the discussion. Senators Lodge and
Lenroot contended that the allied
debts should not be cancelled and
that they should not be brought
before a conference on European
affairs. Return of the American
troops on the Rhine was urged by
Senators Lodge, Borah and Reed,
democrat, of Missouri, the latter
introducing an amendment to the
Borah rider providing for their
withdrawal. a....
Senator Lodge based his oppo.
sition to the Borah economic con-
ference proposal on the ground
that it was too broad in terms. He
also contended with reference to.
the Borah provision for a confer
ence to secure land and further
naval armament limitation agree
ments, that it would be futile" in
view of the failure on these sub
