and at the pier of the United
States Gypsum Company.
More tina nthirty injured
were in Lincoln hospital, near
the scene, and at Fordham
and Harlem hospitals.
Narrowing scenes occurred at
the 135th street ferry terminal
when the bodies were recovered
from the river and laid out in rows
for identification.
Weeping wives and mothers, who
had seen their men depart a few
hours earlier, glad to have a days
work on a prison construction job
on Riker's island, FASTENED to the
pier to look for their dead.
Several collapsed as they identi-

of the bodies were mutilated almost

to their jobs on Riker's island,
city penal colony.
1t was almost at the same spot
where the steamer General Slocum
caught fire in 1904, with a loss of
1921 or more lives.
Witnesses said the boat seemed
to be lifted out of the water by the
explosion. The decks shot up in
the air, and bodies of living and
dead we're strewn over the river.
Police fire boats, ferries, coast
guard vessels and smaller craft
quickly gathered to aid in the res
cue work. The first arrivals picked
up many injured men. Later grap-
ping hooks were used to seek bodies
on the bottom, although a swift
tide was carrying them down to-
ward the sea.

The man who helped Theodore
Roosevelt lead the Bull Moosers in
their futile 1912 campaign, vanished
here Saturday after checking out of
the City Club.
He had told friends he was going
to see his old friend, President Hoo

The appointment was for Tuesday
at the White House.
The vigorous, bitter, 59-year- old
campaigner against all he believed
wrong in the nations political and
moral life, had received hundreds
of threats against his life. He re-

laughed at them.
Robins thirty-f1ve years as coal
digger, gold miner in the Klondyke,

SUSPEND COPS ON
DRY AGENTS STORY
Secret Charges Entered by
MorriSSey Revealed in
Safety Board Action.

Two police officers today are
under suspension, awaiting trial
Sept. Is by the safety board, as the
result of charges filed secretly
against them by Chief Mike Nor
risSey, on information given him by
John Morrill,, federal prohibition
administrator for Indiana.
The officers, Charles A. Schwinn
and julius Reinking, are charged
with neglect of duty and miscon-
duct, growing out of a visit to an
alleged Speakeasy in the 800 block
Madison avenue, few yards out
side the city limits.
Morrissey's charges were accom-
panied by letter of memorandum
submitted to Morrill, by Harmon E.
CroSSley, dry agent, dated Aug. 80,
although the alleged visit to the
blind tiger occurred near midnight
April l or early in the morning of
April 2.
Woman Grabs Liquor
Crossley, according to his memo
randum to Morrill,, was in the blind
tiger making a whisky buy" for
dry raid evidence when a woman
in the place grabbed his glass of
whisky moment after it was served
to him.
A few minutes later, Crossley
charged, the woman brought back
the whisky, with the assertion that
a police car had stopped in front
and "she didn't know if they (the
police of1cers) were all right" She
added after she had recognized
them, Crossley said, that every
things o. K.-they're good fellows"
The two officers, identified by him
through their badge numbers,
CroSSley asserted, came into the re-
sort, leaving their police radio car
running in front, practice against
police regulations.
Call Proprietor Good Fellow
Both officers, according to Cross
ley, thought him merely a custom
er and assured him repeatedly that
Frank is all right and a good fell
low" They referred, he said, to
Frank Pauline, operator of the
place.
Crossley said he bought the Of
icers some cigars and, as he went
out, simulated drunkenness by
stumbling on the door sill. The of
f1cers played the role of Good
Samaritans, he asserted, and helped
him into his car, repeating that
Frank is a good fellow"
Morrissey said today he did not
learn of the alleged misconduct I'M
til late in August. The charges he
made before the safety board were
accompanied by request that they
be kept secret.
Explains Bears Shift
In connection with recent de-
partmental shift which involved
the transfer of Sergeant Wayne
Bear from the booze raiding squad
to radio patrol in Brightwood,
Morrissey denied the transfer was
made by request of Morrill,.
Reason for the shift which evoked
considerable comment because of
Bears raiding record and vigor in
making cases" against liquor sus-
poets, was because the police force
was short-handed in other depart
ments, Morrissey asserted.
He said he conferred with Morrill,
on the switch because the city police
dry squads work interlocks with
federal activity.

H|TLER|TE SUCCESS
D|STURBS. CAPITAL
Effect on Disarmament and
Financial Conferences
Feared.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The Hitlerite success at the German
polls is causing serious misgivings in
Washington diplomatic circles. not be-
cause of the probability of Hitler con-
trolling the German federal states, but
on account of the reaction in France.
one OF the many reasons given by
france for maintaining her present
military forces is that German ma
tlonallsm is rampant. The Hitler sue
cess OF yesterday will only further con-
flrm this French thesis. Consequently
the American, the British and the
Italian delegates at Geneva will find
heneeforth a more adamant French
delegation than heretofore.
But, according to certain Washing
ton diplomats, the German election will
nave very serious repercussion on the
French elections. which are taking
place next Sunday.
Serious Effect Seen.
1t was believed in certain quarters
here that the French electorate would
return to the new Chamber a large
number of Socialist Deputies; Social
lists of all shades who would enable
men like Herriot Painleve and Leon
Blum to form a cabinet with more
liberal views regarding disarmament
lnan Jne present Cne.
Although Herriot and Paiuleve stand
today on the question OF Frances Sc
curity as strongly as Tardieu or Laval
they are as rule more amenable to
reason.
The result of the German election
coming right on the eve of the French
elections, is bound to have serious
effect on the mind of the French elec-
tors, and the chances of the men of a
majority of men of the right being re-
turned to Parliament are believed to
have been greatly increased. Should
this be the case, the prospects of an
agreement at Geneva will be less prob
able than ever before.
But what is more serious than the
likely situation at Geneva is the pos
sibility Of complete failu~2 to reach
an agreement at the financial confer
ence at Lausanne, which will open on
June Is.
Observers of the European situation
have always regarded Lausanne as a
mere momentous conference for Europe
than Geneva.
1t is known that Germany will an
nounee 1t cannot pay reparations for an
indefinite period.
France Holds Key.
1t is also known that the British and
the Italians desire to make Germany S
position as easy as possible. but the at
titude Of France, Germany's principal
creditor SO far is unknown. She holds
the key to the situation. If France
wants to she can make things extreme
ly unpleasant for Germany
1t was thought that if coalition gov
ernment with men like Herriot and
Blum came to power they would be
lenient toward Germany. A government
of the Right, always worried about the
German menace. would be extremely
intransigent
1t is believed in well informed quar-
ters that Adolph Hitler'S success at the
polls makes the task of the French So
cialists difficult. and the possibility of
the French parties of the Right gaining
the upper hand next Sunday is con-
sidered as greatly increased.
