CHANNEL DRAGGED
IN SUICIDE SEARCH
Finding of Abandoned Auto
Followed by Arrest of Two
Alleged Joy-Riders.

The abandonment of an alleged stolen
automobile by two boys next to the sea-
wall around Hams Point early this
morning, led to supposition by police
that some one had committed suicide.
The bottom of the Georgetown Channel
near the spot was dragged for more
than an hour without results.
Later in the day. word was received
from Baltimore that the car had been
stolen. A lookout was broadcast and
the youths. who are alleged to have
admitted to Headquarters Detective
Frank Alligood that they took the ma
chine, were picked up on Florida ave-
nue. by Motorcycle Policeman J. E, Fon-
dahy of the Traffic Bureau.
They gave their names as Paul Price,
10 years old, and Charles Coburn. 16
years Old both of Baltimore. They are
quoted by Detective Alligood as saying
that they we're on their way to Viz
ginia looking for work and that one of
the tires of the car went fiat at the
point they Abandoned it. They left it
within foot of the edge of the sea-
wall
The car was found by Thomas Fogar-
ty and Walter Sconyers of the park
police. early this morning. They i'm
mediately reported the matter to head
quarters and harbor police were noti-
fed. The dragging began as soon as the
launch could reach the scene.
A fact which lent credence to the
theory of suicide was the finding of a
coat inside the machine. The garment
bore the name of S. A. Bell, who later
was ascertained to be the owner of the
machine and to live at 1914 Harlem
street, Baltimore. He has been notified
that his car has been recovered.
The two boys were chraged with joy
riding and were to appear in Police
Court today.

Fascist Court
HITS Mobile to
Shield Zabbl

ROME, March s (UP).-The COM
mittee investigating the disaster OF
the Polar dirigible Italia, which
crashed to the ice north of Spitz-
bergen last summer, placed blame
for the accident upon the shoulders
of General Umberto Mobile, com
mander of the airship in a report
made public today.
The report blames Mobile for al
lowing himself to be rescued before
his other comrades and it said that
Captains Adalberto Mariana and
Filippo Zappi, (naval) were not to
be condemned for their conduct on
their expedition with the wounded
Professor Finn Malmgren but were,
on the contrary, to be praised. Ma
riano and Zappi were rescued by the
Soviet Union iee-breaker, Krassin.
s* 49, -
This decision is in line with ru-
mors that Mobile is to be made the
scapegoat for the fascist debacle in
volved in the failure of the italia"
partly in order to save fascism from
the confession of graver crimes,
namely the eating of the Swedish
scientist Malmgren by Captain Zap
pi, and the stealing of Mariano's
clothing by Zappi, so that he died
of exposure and starvation.
