Jackson Denies Fruit
 Company Is Responsible

Boston, May Is GUP)-William K. Jackson, vice president and gen. eral counsel of the United Fruit Company, today denied press reports from Honduras, stating that his company was in some way respon- sible for the Guatemala boundary dispute.
 This statement is manifestly un- true and has no basis in fact" he said. AS a matter of fact, the boundary dispute between Honduras and Guatemala goes back to the earliest Spanish occupation of these countries, at which time 1t was a source of dispute between the then Spanish governors as to their respec- tive Jurisdiction"

 An official report by Gen. Mobile. the Italia's $ commander, that he had sighted unknown land would make his voyage one of the most impor- tant in Polar history. Other recent Polar explorers have reported sec ing no new land, auA all who have been in the vicinity have denied the statement of the late Robert F. leary, American discoverer. of the North Pole, that he sighted much land-particularly Crocker land. whose existence is not now generally credited.
 Italian Press Enthuses
 Rome, May IS P,-News of the return flight of the Italia 70 her Kings Bay base was received with rejoicing throughout the Italian press which cites the flight as a splendid achievement,
 The success Of the dirieible in re- slsting unfaVorable weather condi- fions was praised by the papers which said that she had gained ali her set ohjectives and from a scien- titic as well as aeronautical stand point amply justified the faith Of her supporters.
 Popolo Di Roma notes that be- tween Spitzbergen and the Franz Josef Archipelago the Italia found no trace Of land showing that the mythical Gillis land as we'll as Crocker land which Peary thought he saw, did not exist.
 However. the Italia's crew was able 10 establish the presence of a east Of the Franz Josef group at s2 degrees north longitude and another space of open water near olas II land,' says the paper, declaring that this is enough to constitute a revolution in Arctic geography.
 The newspaper says that where Mobile went beyond the Russian ex- roration Of Nicholas II land in 1918 was that he flew over the entire length of the region and should be able to determine whether it Is one great island or an archipelago. The precise determination Of this was one of the obiectives Of the Italian expedition.
 Now that Mobile has made two preliminary flights popular interest is centerng on his projected trip over the Pole itself when he plans 10 deposit q large cross blessed by Pope Plus and containing a message from the Pontiff.
 News from Kings Bay indicated hat everything was in readiness there for refueling and overhauling the Italia for her next voyage. The crew Of the Italia is due for an extensive spell Of rest and recrea- ton and just when the next flight will he made is not known.

THE other day DR.. Pierre Bougrat,
a prisoner for life in the French
penal colony of Guiana, es-
capped into the jungle in COM
pany with two other prisoners.
Posses with bloodhounds, tear bombs
and machine guns were Immediately
dispatched to hunt up the fugitives.
After a vain search of 10 days, however,
they returned empty handed.
Ninety-nine prisoners out of hun
dred who take to the jungle OF this
fearsome domain to regain their free
dom never emerge again. The forest IS
endless and swarming with danger.
DIR. Bougrat, a physician of distinc-
ton of MarSeille, belongs to the Spring
class of 1928" mock collegiate desig-
nation applied to the prisoners trans
ported to Guiana in the Spring OF 1923.
DR.. Bougrat was a knight OF the
Legion of Honor. During the war he
served as an army physician, was
wounded IL times and won the Dis
tinguished Service decoration; The SUI
prene army command cited him twice
for exceptional valor in refusing to be
taken behind the lines although
wounded.
After the armistice DR.. Bougrat eS-
tablished himself in Marseille, his ma
tive town, as a physician. He had the
reputation of being very Conscientious
practitioner, was popular in the pest
houses and great future was predlcted
for him It was therefore a great ShocK
when one day MarSeille learned that DR..
Bougrat had been arrested for passing
worthless checks. At police headquar-
ters he admitted that he had issued
three checks without sufficient funds IN
IN odG
warned the three recipients to wait a
few days before caShing the checks.
In order to verify some of his state
ments the police searched DIR. BougratS
house. An inspector called attention to
a peculiar odor. His colleagues suggest
ed that it might emanate from some
pungent medicine. But the inspector
was not satisfied. He kept on searching.
In the operating room his attention was
arrested by vertical seam in the wall
paper for which there seemed to be no
explanation. He ripped open the seam
and found door. 1t turned out to be
the opening to a closet IN which was
concealed the dead body of man. Near
the body was an empty sack, such aS
is used in Southern France to carry
large amounts of coin.
About three months before this oc-
currence the Marseille newspapers had
noted the disappearance Of jacques
Rumebe. an employe of local chemi-
cal factory. On Saturday morning
Rumebe had called as usual at the
cashiers Office for the pay roll of one
of their branches. He received about
10000 francs Rumebe was never heard
of again and warrant of arrest had
been issued against him on the theory
that he had absconded with the funds
The police identified the dead man
as Jacques Rumebe. It was UP to Dr.
Bougrat to explain how he had got
there. The physicians story was as
follows:
Jacques Rumebe was one of his pa
tients who came to see him every day.
On the fatal Saturday morning Rumebe
called at noon. He was pale and dis
heveled. wore neither vest nor coat. In
s.. tones of the greatest excitement he told

OF the coal bin a concrete sand bin
is fixed, holding 100000 pounds of sand.
The sand buckets or cups, rather, are
attached to a rubber betting and hold
one quart of sand each; there are 65
of them. The belt Is 100 feet long
and cost $500.
This unique edifice was erected and
sold for $4,000. The machinery is
patented. owned and installed by an
American firm Of manufacturers. It

with the style Of wharveS mostly in use
now. Only about one other of its kind

BIG COALING STATION.

IN Virginia. on the line of a great
railway system. there may be seen
what Is probably the largest and most
complete coal wharf in the world for
coaling railway engines
This giant structure is built of con-

stairways and windows. which are of
wood. 1t takes rs steps to reach the
top floor and the structure is 70 feet
high from track to the roof. The floors
roof, shed, pillars. walls and the bin
for storing the coal are all made of
concrete. The walls are from to 8
inches thick. and all the concrete work
is built over a network texture of
notched steel square rods-one quarter
to inches square. according to the
pressure and weight. The rods are
placed and fastened together with
to IL inch mesh and the notches make
the concrete more durable and impoS-
Sible to crack.
The bin in which the coal is stored
has a capacity Of $4,000 poundS-that
Is, about 5l2 times that of the largest
coal cars. Three tracks and three chutes
are accessible for coaling engines, Six
teen thousand pounds of coal can be
put on an engine in IS seconds; there
fore, engines can be coaled at the
same time, taking In all 5000 pounds
of coal in is seconds. This record for
coaling engines quickly is not, 1t is
supposed, surpassed by any other coal
ing station in the world.
The services of but two men are re-
quired to coal up an engine: one low

that is situated directly over the tracks

II did not kill Jacques Rumebe"
People who wanted to lynch him
when Rumebe's body was found now
showed sympathy in his favor. The
verdict was booed and several windows

In the penal colony DR.. Bougrat was
very popular He had one obsession-
to escape. Most prisoners in Guiana
want to escape, but they do not
confide their plans to everybody.
Few of them have the energy ac-
tually to undertake the getaway.
The sun is sultry, and they are
demoralized. Being treated as Gagged
animals, they soon come to consider
themselves as such. The guards smiled
at the idea of DR.. Bougrat breaking
out of prison. How could timid city
man, who had left all his courage on
the battlefield, brave the thousand
dangers of the jungle? Bougrat was
not the man to hazard an escape.
Yet DR.. Bougrat had fulfilled his
threat, the first of the Spring class of

ready answered, and in the fugitive's
favor, in recent news dispatches from
Cayenne, which report that Dr. Bou-
graf has succeeded in evading his pur-
suers and is finding refuge in the ad-
joining territory of Dutch Guiana.
