Attack by Pair.
NEW YORK, September IL lP.-CoAst
Guard and police were searching Long
Island Sound today for Benjamin P.
Ceilings. wealthy Stamford, Conn,
yachtsman. who, his wife says, was at
tackled and drowned by two men who
boarded their cabin cruiser OF Syosset,
Long Island, yesterday morning.
Mrs. Ceilings, who is %, 10 years
her husbands junior was under police
guard at the home Of friend in Mas
sau County. Nassau and Suffolk Coun-
ty police as well as State troopers Ques-
toned her about her husbands disap-
pearance.
Attacked by Men.
She said she was taken In q canoe
after her husband was thrown into
the water, and that she was attacked by
the two men. Her five-year-old daugh-
ter Barbara was left aboard the cruiser.
The Penguin, Ceilings cruiser. was
floating with the tide Off Lloyd's Point.
its lights out, when q boating party
from the New Rochelle Yacht Club de-
cided to board and investigate. N. L.
Noteman, one OF the party. heard q
splash as II some one was swimming, buS
the sound ceased and he climbed onto
the cruiser. Barbara. the only person
aboard, was In her nightgown.
Meanwhile at oyster Bay, Capt.
Harold Howard heard Mrs. Ceilings
cries for help and found her in an open
motor boat, the Bo Peep. which evident
ly had been stolen from its mooring
place.
Mrs. Ceilings said two men had
boarded the cruiser while she was in
the cabin. She heard voices and some
thing about a request that her husband
take an injured man to o hospital in
West Norwalk, Conn.
Her husband answered he could not
run without lights. Later she heard a
scuf1e and heard a splash. She said
she was unable to run out of her cabin,
for 1t had been locked from the outside.
Rubber Mattress Thrown Out.
Later 1t was unlocked and she ran
upstairs and threw a rubber mattress
into the sound, hoping her husband
would find 1t and keep afioat.
She said the men then put her into
the canoe and took her across the
sound to Oyster Bay, mistreating her
on the way.
Inspector Harold King Of Nassau
police said her story was incoherent
in spots, but this was mainly due to her
hysteria and fright.
The Penguin, blood-stained and show
ing signs Of a struggle, was towed to
Syosset where police carefully examined
1t and ripped out its boardwork in q
search for clues. Mrs. Ceilings diary
and broken oar were found.
Ceilings, a graduate Of Yale and
Cornell, was a retired mechanical en-
gineer. He served as q lieutenant in

Seeks to BE Third Nation In Franco
Italian Naval Chats.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.
BY Gable to The Star.
PARIS, France, September IL
formed France and Italy that 1t de-
sires to be admitted without delay as
the third party to the Italian
naval negotiations now proceeding at
Geneva.
Great Britain feels directly interested,
both as the leading Mediterranean
power and as a signatory to the London
treaty, which binds Great Britain's
hands while leaving France and Italy
free.
Following the London Conference
France and Italy tried several times
under British auspices to come to
terms without success. The French,
rightly or wrongly, attributed this fall
ure in large part to the attitude Of the
British Labor government, which, they
alleged, was supporting the Italian
viewpoint against the French in order
to keep the balance Of power for Great
Britain.
In renewing their negotiations with
Italy recently, the French, accordingly,
seem to have desired to conflne the con-
versations for the time being strictly
within Franco-Italian limits. Mean
while, however. the British Labor gov
eminent has fallen and in the new ma
tional government the first lord Of the
admiralty is Sir Austen Chamberlain,
whom the French regard as one OF their
best friends In England.
Much as they tend to distrust Great
Britain's influence in Franco-Italian
naval matters, the French probably will
be glad for this once to have Great
Britain participate, the more SO as this
participation may open the way for
fruitful Franco-British naval negotia-
lions, which the French are known also
to desire.
Reports from Geneva indicate that
the French and Italian experts there,
while still conversing, are still far from
anything like an agreement.

THE fact that Paramount should

some of its stellar players are

-FOUR Marx Brothers? Does their
negligence in not having attended

brain power that he might have
