DUT he is no man Of mystery
- south Of Yucatan. He is one

PUT he is no man of mystery
- south of Yucatan. He is one
of the established verities.
He is self educated, and his
mind, unencumbered by scattered
reading or dependence on records,
is concentrated on the one big
interest.
His memory is prodigious.
Reading current report, he has
more than once checked discrep-
ancies Ringing on 2 parallel state
ment five years back.
Unlike many large corporation
executives, he gives his men re-
sponsibilities instead of rules and
routines. He follows the old sys-
tenn of the jungle plantations,
where men have to sink or swim
by their own initiative. What he
demands is the result.
Personally his hobby is fasting.
Twice year at least he retires to
his big farm eighty miles from
New Orleans and goes entirely
without food, taking only water.
A weeks fast is too short. in his
opinion. He has gone as long as
two weeks.
1t is his private health method,
beneficial to body and mind.
After his fast he returns to his
Office explosive with new ideas.
Within less than a month after
he took charge of United Fruit its
stock had risen from 1914 to "a
and that price held steadily
throughout the year
Thanks to a better price for
sugar. which gives the company
almost double revenue from its
Cuban plantations, and to the
general imitation rise, United Fruit
stock this year virtually has
doubled again.

him through unscathed in chose
lands of the revolver and the ma
chete. He swore f1uently in three
languages. And he knew his
bananas.
When he had finished his re-
marks at the directors meeting,
it was unnecessary to go into any
count of stock proxies. And any,
thing resembling polite commits
Grafton of one another at the
company's low estate was out.
To their surprise the directors
found themselves creating new
Office of managing director, carry
ing sweeping dictatorial powers.
To fill it they elected Samuel ze-
murray.
United Fruit stock, which had
touched 1914, has been around As
recently, and the morale of the
company has been invigorated
likewise.
Such advances as United Fruit
has been making in the depres-
sion dates from THAI meeting last
June. 1t is not for either the
company or for zemurray work
of fortune making. 1t is rather
conservation.
The tropical fever that was
wasting a strong concern has been
halted - apparently - and conva-
lescence has begun. And the Re
murray fortune has been stabil-
lied and increased in the process.

BY GEORGE BRITT
Times Special Writer

CAMUEL ZEMURRAY, retired
- from the tropics and enjoying
well-earned ease in New Orleans
and at his lodge in the pine
woods, a spacious estate formerly
owned by Louisiana lottery king,
saw himself becoming a poor man
if this depression kept up. He
was down to his last few millions.
Late in 1920 he had turned over
the Cuyamel Fruit Company,
child of his own fighting and
planning, to the United Fruit
Company for 100000 shares of
stock. 1t was a stupendous deal,
and never again, it appeared,
would he need to worry about
bananas.
More than half the Cuyamel
STOCK was his. In October, 1929,
it stood at 124, making his per-
sonal holdings worth $4,000, 900
or $20,O0O,0O0. He also had in bank
some millions in cash earnings
from Cuyamel.
Even after the market crash,
his share opened the new year,
1890, worth we'll over $4,000, 900.
But United Fruit stock in 1881
went on down to 171a. On June
2, 1882, it reached it's depression
low of 10A. The Zemurray for
tune in stock now was shrunk to
around $2,000,000. The fruit bust
ness itself was Zemurray'S love,
and when it languished he felt i'll
himself.
So Sam Zemurray packed his
bags to attend a directors meet
ing in Boston. He took along his
boundless knowledgs of the
banana business, which he always
carried in his head. And he also
was provided with some hundreds
of proxies from other worried
stockholders.
The report-which he has
denied-is that he spent his own
free cash to buy additional shares
as part of his preparations. If ne
did, it was bargain speculation,
for prices never have been so low.
He had felt very much like a
fifth wheel at these Boston meet
ings. His fellow directors courte-
ously had voted him down and put
through other mems policies that
he scorned. He was a diamond
in the rough, which Boston didn't
understand.
But he made everything clear at
directors meeting last June.
II
THE best years of his life had
Il been spent in the dank, muir
derous, mosquito bitten lowlands
of Honduras and Nicaragua. His
lean six-foot presence was packed
sufficiently with vitality to bring

Henry and Richard Harding Davis
were falling in love with their
Hurled colorings.
He knew Lee Christmas, an ac-
quaintance not hard to pick up
around the bars in New Orleans.
Through that agency he had a
hand in revolution that removed
one president of Honduras, elevat-
ed another and proved Of lasting
value to himself in the fruit bust
ness.
His business career in New Or
leans began with the sale of
''ripes," which were thrown away
at that time as the banana boats
tied up at the docks. Later he
had contract to buy them, for
they proved salable in the local
market.
Then he advanced until he and
a partner named Ashbel Hubbard
chartered a small vessel and
brought in their own bananas, Mr..
Hubbard withdrew in alarm as
Mr. zemurray kept expanding and
charging.
His business, the Cuyamel Fruit
Company, was the greatest chal-
lenge ever presented to the United
Fruit, Yankee overload Of the
tropics. 1t fought United, grabbed
off choice banana acreage ahead
of it, cut in on its best markets.
Sam zemurray gave up his
Louisiana comforts and leisure
last June when he began running
the United Fruit Company. Half
his time is spent in Boston, from
where he Supervises the produc-
ing end of the business, the rest
in New York at the sales Office
He says nothing about himself
and issues no statements thus
contributing in the most effective
way to building up the zemurray
myth.

10000 HITLER 4
hackers BURN
GERMAN BOOKS
Volumes Containing Doc.
trineS Hostile to Nazi
Ideals Cast Into Flames.
BY ERIC KEYSER
United Press STAFF Correspondent

BERLIN, May 11-Ten thousand
singing, shouting students marched
around a blazing bonfire in Opera
Square until the early hours Of to-
day, jubilant at destroying books
representing ideas and doctrines con-
sidered hostile to Nazi Germany.
Some 10000 books were consigned
to the flames.
The works of some of the most
celebrated of modern German au-
thors, books of social and political
theorists inimical to Nazi nehefs,
and books detailing the horrors Of
war. such as "All Quiet on the
western Front" made tremendous
fire that blazed for hours while po-
lice and firemen stood by to prevent
it from spreading out of the street
into surrounding buildings.
German education has been
purged of smut and dishonesty
Student Leader Gutjahr said when
the fire burned itself to embers and
the students marched home.
The books destroyed were ram
dom copies of widely printed works
and represented only a slight per-
centage of the total number of each
work eXtant in Germany and the
world
While the students destroyed con-
trary thought, Nazi storm troopers
and police we're completing the total
suppression of the Marxist opposi-
ton.
A raid on the Socialist faction
rooms in the Reichstag building
definitely ended MarXiSt parlia-
mentary opposition. The rooms were
sealed and party legislative records
confiscated
Verified reports from Wittenberg
said twenty-one Socialist leaders
were arrested and their homes
searched for documents as Nazi Of

ceeded with confiscation of the
party'S funds.

Two Found Dead

The cubbyhole of an Office is forty
feet below the street level, beneath
a garage. The garage used to be a
stable and Ridley had his Office
there.
He was millionaire several times
over, but he always said he liked to
have his Office deep in the ground
beneath New York's Ghetto because
there he escaped from the noise of
the elevated railway.
= Joseph Fiduccia, who operates a
freight elevator in the garage, was
one of those who noticed the old
man had not come up to the street.
He investigated and found the
bodies.
Old Edward Ridleys clothes had
been torn to shreds. His left ear
was almost torn off, his skull had
been crushed. The office was
wrecked, indicating that there had
been terrific struggle.
Five bullet wounds were found in
the body of Lee Weinstein, the
millionaire's secretary. A rusty safe
In the office had not been touched.
Struggle Is Unheard
+. The fact that the office is far
below ground made it impossible
for any one in the garage or on
the street to hear the struggle, or
even to hear the shots.
The elevator operator said that
earlier in the day two men had
come to the garage and asked for
Ridley, saying they had real es-
tate deal to talk over.
Two years ago Herman Moench,
the old mans secretary, was muir
dered in the same office where Rid
ley and Weinstein met death. The
murder was never solved, and it
was known that Ridley spent large
sums trying to find the killers.

MILLIONAIRE IS
MURDERED IN
CELLAR OFFICE
Aged Eccentric Had Vowed

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK. May 11.-An 90
year-old eccentric millionaire, who
two years ago vowed to spend the
remainder of his life searching for
tie murderers of his secretary, was
found beaten to death today IN the
underground office he maintained
on New York's lower east side.
Beside him lay the bullet-riddled
body of the man who succeeded his
murdered secretary.
Every afternoon at l o'clock, for
many years, Edward A. Ridley had
come up from his subterranean Of
fice for a breath of fresh air. The
habit had become so traditional that
reighbors could set their clocks by
his appearance. His failure to re-
emerge led to the discovery Of the
murder.

temporary bases which may be set up
for the purpose. The third plane Is q
Pilgrim transport, taken from line duty
by American Airways.
There has been much speculation a.
to the condition in which Byrd will find
his gallant tri-motored Ford monoplane,
hero Of the first flight across the South
Pole, which was abandoned IN Little
America in the mad rush to escape be-
ing frozen in the Antarctic ice foes.
There is no expectation Of its being used
during the new expedition, however.
A novel feature Of the expedition will
be the aviation training there Of Arthur
Adele, jr., 22-year-old aviation student.
Adele will take complete course In
aviation, including flying lessons and
business training in the possibilities Of
aviation during his two-year stay in the
Antarctic, Byrd explained. His ground
work and flying instruction will be given
under the most unusual conditions, per-
haps, ever faced by rookie flyer. Adele
never has flown an airplane and has
been in the air, all told, less than 80
minutes. He hopes to be a qualified
pilot before leaving the Antarctic. AS
a prelude to the beginning of his un-
usual flying career, Adele has spent a
month in the practical study Of fuel
engineering.
Though only % year old-a graduate
of Harvard University last Spring
Adele already has crammed an unusual
amount of excitement into his life, his
activities ranging from scrubbing decks
on q West Indies tanker to surveying
forests in Michigan and from duty as
bell hop in big New York resort
hotel to majoring in college economics
and transportation.
