today.
This is the second stowaway
tragedy aboard Baltibore bound
chips in the last three days. On
Friday, seven stoWaways from Bra
Ill were killed when they were
trapped in the hold of the ship
when it was fumigated in quaran-
tine. Nine others were rescued.
Captain Math knudsen of the
Munisla told immigration authori-
ties that the first knowledge of the
presence of the stowaways aboard
ship was learned when the matches
were opened three days out of
Havana. The presence OF the men
vas discovered when seaman
heard one OF the stoways tapping
on a hatch cover. The covers were
thrown open and four men, almost
unconscious. We're carried from the
hold by members of the crew, The
men told the ships officers that two
others we're still below. Search of
the Hold revealed the bodies of the
two men who had been smothered
to death by the gases arising from
the raw sugar. The six had crept
aboard the boat at Havana, the
captain said. The bodies were bur-
led at sea.
An Investigation was Immediately
started by customs officials to de-
termine whether any of the ships
crew had previous knowledge OF the
presence of the stowaways aboard
ship.
The surviving aliens gave their
names as Lima Martinez, Jose Mar
tinez Juan Piencez and Louis
Rodrinqua. The names of the dead
men were not learned.

German foreign minister's coming

The meeting had been looked

stated that there would be no such
discussion at this time.
First Since 1870
Today's interview was the first
official reception to a German for
elgn minister since the war of 1870
and therefore it took on unusual
significance. Consequently there was
feeling by some political observ-

was not entirely devoted to polite

questions regarding the stateman's
health.
