DEATH STILL
MYSTERY
BY international News service

LONDON. July 7.-Theories as
to the fate of Capt. Alfred Loewen-
stein, the Belgian "Croesus" OF the
financial world. still abounded to-
day, but his mysterious disappear.
ance remained unexplained.
The original theory that the finan-
cial wizard accidentally pushed open
an outer door of his plane and fell
from the plane to his death received
a severe setback yesterday. Tests
were made In similar Fokker
plane which showed that the air
pressure would have made 1t almost
impossible for one man. no matter
how strong, to unwittingly open
the door he is supposed to have
fallen through.
Suicide, the second hypothesis,
was generally ridiculed by Eoewen-
STEMS friends. His financial af.
fairs were in good order there
were no known personal troubles.
and, it was pointed out. Loewenstein
was not the type of man to run
away from any kind of trouble.

etreacherous rock until they reached
the island between their objective
and Snake Island.
Suddenly a man in a canoe ap-
peared on the otht side OF Snake
Island. This proved to be Angel.
After conference with Norfold they
secured the rope to tree on Snake
Island, and, using it as breeches
buoy. skidded along to where the
others were. The little canoe Whirled
around and around, and more than
once threatened to capsize.
The same process was repeated
to the far island. Lugenbeel leader
OF the expedition and an expert
canoeist and swimmer, changed
places with NorfoId. They had no
mooring on the advance end Of
their breches buoy, but they took
a chance anyhow. The bateau in
which the other three were couldn't
quite reach the overturned canoe.
When the little craft with Angel
and Lugenbeel aboard was caught
in the swirling waters it banged
against their objective and capsized.
Lugenbeel grabbed nearby rock,
but Angel was carried downstream
at terrific rate, the canoe follow
ing after him after it had righted
itself.
Showing rare GOODNESS he grabbed
the canoe and chung to it until it
struck a rock and wedged itself intn
crevice. From there he waved
for help. He was about $50 yards
from the Virginia shore, but in
an extremely perilous position.
The Five nAnaVfrannA y.n.SS,,o
squad, which had been standing by
on Conduit Road all day, imme-
diately started a mad rush for che
Virginia shore. via the Key Bridge.
They arrived and set up their rope
gun. Three times they shot before
the precious strands landed near
enough for Angel to grab them.
Then he pulled the heavier rope
to him and the problem. was to get
him ashore without having all of
his bones broken against the rocks
over which the river .swirled at a
terrific rate.
Rescued But Battered
The experienced life savers of
the rescue squad solved this when
one of their number removed his
clothes and. tying the rope around
ms waist worked his way up the
stream by clinging- to trees and
underground until he was suffici-
emily far so that the angle Of down
stream dropping for the rescued
man was reduced to a minimum.
Angel was then pulled in but
badly battered, bruised and cut IN
the process. He wanted to stay
and help rescue Lugenbeel, but was

ASK IMPROVEMENT
0F D. 6. WRARVES
Report Says Work Would
Increase Shipping
Here.

Early improvement and Identification
of the north side of the Washington
Channel and the Virginia approach to
Key Bridge is recommended in the an
nual report of the District wharf COM
mittee, made public yesterday by Engi-
neer Commissioner William B. Ladue.
Existing structures along the Wash
ington Channel, the committee pointed
out. have reached such stage of de-
terioration that shipping interests are
not attracted to this port.
Several of the wharves have been
condemned as unsafe" said the report,
land further delay in beginning the
work OF improvement will unqueStion-
ably result in further condemnations
and add to the existing dilapidated and
unsightly conditions"
Consumers Would Save.
The committee expressed the opinion
that If the frontage along the Wash
ington Channel is improved with new
and more commodious docks in accord
ance with the waterfront improvement
project of the United States engineers
office, lumber and other cargoeS from
the West, now shipped to Baltimore by
water and transported to Washington
by rail, would be delivered direct to
Washington by water with an attendant
saving to consumers.
THE item for the improvement and
Identification of the north side of the
Washington Channel heads the list of
desirable improvements in the District
OF Columbia" the report said When
one considers the very attractive water
front developments of European capi-
tails as compared with the water front
on the Washington Channel, the fact
that such condition exists in the Ma
tional Capital is difficult to understand
With the exception of a few structures
this water front presents a forlorn pic
ture of sad neglect"
Bridge Approaches.
The committee called attention to
the fact that the reservation on the
Virginia approach to Key Bridge is oc-
cupied by two railway terminals which
pay combined annual rental of ST.
010, and said: "The future improve
ment Of the approaches to the Key
Bridge in manner in keeping with the
dignity and grandeur of this bridge is
a matter worthy of careful study by
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. The reservation on
the Virginia end of the bridge is adapt
ed to a more attractive development
than now exists The roadway pave
ment is in such condition as to warrant
its early replacement
Roland NJ Brennan, chief clerk of
the engineering department of the Dis
trict, is chairman of the committee.
