By United Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The Lam
port and Holt liner, Vestris, bound
from New York for Buenos Aires
and Rio Janeiro, with 1877 passen-
gers and a crew of 210 men aboard,
was abandoned at sea today about
300 miles southeast of New York ac-
cording to word received by the
United States naval radio.
While destroyers and merchant
ships, modified almost on the in
slant that the first distress signal
went out, plunged through tossing
seas to give rescue, Captain w. j.
Carey Of the Vetris, found his ship
in such danger of sinking at any
moment that he ordered the 337
aboard into the life boats.
Ships Rush to Rescue
The Coast Guard destroyer Davis,
almost 100 miles away at p. m,
was the nearest ship to the scene.
With it's first underforced draft
the Davis could not reach the spot
earlier than 3 p. m, it estimated,
and probably not until even later.
The last message from the Vestris
was the word that the ship was be-
ing abandoned.
I'VE are now abandoning ship"
Captain Carey radioed I'VE are
taking to the life boats"
From 10:05 a. m. when the first
distress call went out until this final
message, at 1923 p. m, the radio
operator had remained at his key
keeping in constant communication
with shore station and rescue ships
despite the fact that the ship ap-
parently was in momentary danger
of sinking.
Just before the final message the
operator on the coast guard cutter
Davis notified the New London
coast guard and navy radio station
that boats were putting of from the
Vestris, according to word he had
picked out of the air.
Captain Remains Aboard
The passengers went in the first

crew remaining aboard until there
no longer seemed hope.
From messages picked up by coast
guard and other radio stations,
those ashore pictured the Vestris'
radio man as clinging to his post
while the vessel listed dangerously,
and until the radio power was wiped
out by the seas.
All information received at coast
guard headquarters indicated the
accident probably was caused by
shifting of the crafts cargo.
At p. m. a radio message was
received from Captain Carey, saying
the Vestris was listing rapidly to
port, and that the radio power was
being cut off by the waves which
were sweeping over the vessel.
The crew was attempting to pour
oil on the water to quiet the seas,
Carey said.

MoUing Day
'Chi' GangsterS Leave;
Fear Cleanup; Capone
Takes Time.

By United Press
~HICAGO, Nov. 12.--This is
~ moving season for gangland.
Apprehensive over the election of
John A. Swanson as states attor-
ney, in whose platform was the
promise to purge Chicago of its
booze and vice, gangsters are seek
ing new fields.
Their lieutenantS are searching
nearby counties where headquar-
ters may be set up and business
carried on "aS usual" in Chicago,
but with the leaders out of the
reach of the new states attorney,
who takes Office Dec. /.
Some leaders already have de-
parted, but Al Capone, chief of
gangland, hasn't made up his
mind about moving. it was re-
ported.
"Scarface" has made extensive
investments that are known to
provide him a comfortable in
come.
A cleaning and dyeing business
pays him well. 1t is known he
ships a sizeable amount of cou-
pons from bonds and stocks.
Spike" ODonnell, frustrated in
his attempt to regain leadership
in the beer racket, is reported
seeking new fields, not in the jur-
isdiction of Judge Swanson.
Ralph Sheldon, original Capone
organizer is reported to be in
Phoenix (Ariz), because of poor
health.
Joe Salts, beer chief of the
'back of the yards" district, has
been out-of- town for ITS days,
lodging sixty-day sentence for
carrying a gun.
Because of the huge amount of
money invested, the gangsters are
not expected to move, bag and
baggage.
Liquor and vice probably will
not end suddenly on midnight of
Nov 80, but the gangster leaders
are not expected to be found in
their usual hauntS.

tracted to wreck an obsolete power
plant which included the water
tank on fifteen-foot steel platform.

to- see the steel beams Swaying. He
cried out, and Hudson, working at
his side, thought to seek safety un-

tank crashed down upon him.
Hudson is married and has one
daughter, 18, at the family home,
