The Buenos Aires Office an
nounced that the steamer
Formosa had $50, the Athena
$50, the Empire Star 200, and
the Rossetti II an unknown
number.
There was little possibility of
computing an accurate list at the
moment. All announcements con-
f1icted with Brazilian government
statements, which showed smaller
number of rescued.
BIanned on Mine
Brazilian naval men say there
are no rocks in the vicinity of the
disaster. They believe, because OF
the large number of rescued aboard
some ships, that several rescuers
we're able to reach the AIafalda be-
fore she sank.
Steamship company officials to-
day declared they believed IAN ex-
ternal cause, probably floating
mine," had caused the ship to sink.
Radio messages had said she was
in trouble with a broken propeller
shaft, and that water reaching her
boilers caused the explosion.
Water forced it's way in from the
stern to the engine room.
At 9:14 the water flooded the
boilers, there was tremendous ex-
plosion. The liner sank rapidly.
Steamers Go to Aid
The Brazilian steamer Piauhy and
the British steamer Rathelona were
In the vicinity, seeking to help, and
the Brazilian scout cruiser Rlo
Grande was steaming under forced
draft from Rio de Janeiro, whence
she was dispatched early today,
when the Brazilian navy depart
ment learned of the disaster.
Among the passengers on the
Principessa Mafalada-named after
the daughter of King Victor En-
manuel of Italy-was the famous
Professor Gigli, director of the Uni
yersity of Statistics in Rome.
A full list of passengers was not
available Immediately.
The Principessa Nafalda sank
about $50 p. m. yesterday, accord
ing to reports to the steamship
company.
The position of the ship was es-
timated to be about ninety miles
off Itaquena Point, Brazil, 275 miles
south of Bahia, on the way to Rio
de Janeiro.
Fate Is PuzzIing
The Princepessa Mafalda's fate was
puzzling as well as tragic.
The 9,2O0-ton liner left Genoa, her
home port, Oct. II. She was due at
Rio de Janeiro Monday. The fact
that when she sank she had reached
only the vicinity of Bahia-a days
steaming from Rio-yesterday eve
ming was taken as certain evidence
by officials that something had hap
pened to her far out at sea and de-
Iaved her DrOgreSS.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Indi
ana political forces here are planning
introduction of a bill in Congress
next December to divide the State
into two Federal judicial districts,
it was learned today. A similar bill
two years ago was defeated, but a
compromise was adopted by which
an additional Federal judge was
granted for northern Indiana, and
Judge Slick was appointed for the
northern division. Under this law,
however, the prosecuting duties and
those of the marshal remained III
the Indianapolis office.
The bill also would create two
new ~offices to be used as Federal
patronage by sthe Indiana Senators,
those of district attorney and
marshal for the northern district.
together with the other smaller jobs
which would be necessary. The bill,
as formerly proposed, would haveNdi-
yided Indiana arbitrarily along
line running roughly northeast from
visSennes, west and north of Marion
q kty, and so including most of
northern Indiana. This would have
included the Indiana coal fields, and
it was said one factor behind the
bill was the desire of workers in the
coal districts to escape the injunc-
tons then being granted by Judge
Anderson, who since has gone to
the Circuit Court of Appeals at
Chicago.

Rare Alaskan Birds
Nest and Eggs Found

Ornithologists have just succeeded
in finding the nest and eggs of the
rare surf bird of Alaska, though the
bird itself has been known to science
for century and a half. Not only
this, but the mother of this rare
species is a feminist, according to-
Joseph Dixon of the Museum of
Vertebrate Zoology at the University
of California. Father surf bird does
almost all of the Matching of the eggs
and puts up a much more valiant
fight in their defense when the home
nest is molested than his wife, de-
clares the ornithologist.
The nest and several breeding pairs
were found on the slopes of Mount
Mckinley in Alaska during a recent
field expedition. The first nest of this
bird to be found by a white man was
discovered by George NJ. Wright,
member of the party, who almost
stepped on it.
Further observations of other shore
birds breeding in the North indicated,
said Mr.. Dixon, that the paternal care
of the eggs is a more regular practice
among birds of this type than has
previously been suspected.
AS their name implies. he explained,
the surf birds spend most OF their
existence in the rocky reefs of the
Pacific, but during the time they,
were under observation on Mount Nc
kinley they never came down below
1000 feet. 1t necessarily follows, he
continued, that there is a rather re-
markable adjustment in their food
habits during the nesting season. Why
they are willing to change from their,
customary fare of shellfish to the
small insects of high attitudes while
they raise their families is one of the
migratory mysteries of the bird
world.
