Ing aWakeneQ, shortly after mid night, by general fire-aIarm The lightning presumably struck an oil tank, and within few minutes the entire ship was ablaze amidships. The flames spread so rapidly that the narrow corridors became walls of fire, and passengers were unable to force their way to the decks from the interior.
 Seamen broke over stateroom windows looking out on the prom erade deck. and dragged frighten- ed women out of their berths and through the narrow ports of the life boats. Many of the survivors were in fiimy night clothes when they reached the Jersey shore.
 Shortly after a first life boat with 30 passengers aboard. had reached shore at Sea Girt, a second with an equal number, arrived at Spring Lake, N. J.
 Members of the crew. haggard and wofn from their frightful ex- periences, said they did not know whether the captain of the Morro Castle was able to leave the ship or not.

ACTION DUE SOON
ON ARMSEMBARG0
McReynoIds Says Report
Near on Measure,
o. KID by Senate.

By the Associated Press.
Congress looked today toward final
action soon on bill to prohibit arms
shipments to warning nations.
The arms embargo measure. accord
ing to Chairman McReynolds of the
Foreign Affairs Committee, is to be
reported to the House in the near fu-
ture. 1t has already passed the Sen
ate, which changed it considerably
from the form which the House ap-
proved at the last session.
Embargo Talk Stirred.
Recent reports in London that the
United States would participate in
economic embargoes against disarma-
ment treaty violations stirred new
talk in Congress about the arms en-
barge measure.
McReynolds declined, however, to
discuss developments centering around
conversations of Norman H. Davis,
United States Ambassador at Large.
AS originally introduced by McRey-
nolds and passed by the House, the
embargo bill would have authorized
declaration of an arms embargo on
any nation at war with another ma
ton. The Senate amended it, how
ever, so that if an embargo were levied
en- one warning nation it would have
to be imposed simultaneously on the
other.
This change is viewed by House
leaders as sufficient to meet the objec-
tions of such bitter opponents of the
original bill as Representatives Fish,
Republican, of New York and Tink-
ham, Republican, of Massachusetts,
and virtually to assure its passage
whenever it is called from the Speak
er's desk.
London Reports Secuted.
Objection to permitting an embargo
against one belligerent and not the
other was on the ground that the
United States would invite charges of
naming the aggressor.
Congressional leaders manifested in
terest in, but were inclined to discount
recent London reports that the United
States would cooperate in economic
and financial embargoes against ma
ton found guilty of violating a dis
armament treaty provided it could be
the sole Judge of whether such action
was justified.
>, The economic embargo idea, espe-
cially, was viewed as one at which
Congress would shy.

RECEIVES EVIDENCE
AGAINST HAUPTb|ANNl
Consider Murder indictment
Rather Than Lesser Charge
Of kidnapping

Pennington, N. j., Oct. 8.-(R)-Col
Charles A. Lindbergh came back to
Hunterdon county Monday to tell .
grand jury what he knew about the
death Of his 20 months old son, kid
mapped 81 months ago.
The famous Qier, hatless as always
was serious-faced as he walked from
his car into the l00-year-old court
house.
Col. H. Norman schwarzkopf, SUI
perintendent Of the New Jersey state
police, and Sheriff John H. Curtis
met Lindbergh as his car drew UP
and escorted him into the courthouse
The flier Immediately went to the
grand jury room.
Dr.. Charles E Mitchell, Mercer
county physician, who performed the
autopsy on the slain baby after the
finding Of the body, was the first
witness before the jury. He declined
to discuss his testimony.
Near Handwriting Experts
After DR.. Mitchell, the grand jur-
ors heard two handwriting experts
Albert r. and Albert B. Osborne
father and son, who, police say, have
identified Hauptmann's, handwriting
with the script of the ransom notes.
Colonel Lindbergh was the fourth
witness. He was in the jury room Is
minutes. He left the courthouse IN
his car Immediately.
Prosecutor Anthony M. Hauck, who
will assist States Attorney General
David +. Wilentz In presenting the
evidence Monday, made known that
the state would probably set aside
$4,000 to defray the expenses Of q
trial. should Hauptmann be indicted
and extradited.
Hauck said Governor Harry A.
Moore Informed him that he would
ask the state house commission ia
appropriate the money, in order to
relieve the small county Of Hunterdon
from an additional tax burden.
Supreme Court Justice Thomas w.
Trenchard charged the grand jury to
indict Bruno Richard Hauptmann
for murder if the state presents SUI
ficient evidence that Charles "A.
Lndberg. Jr., met his death acct
dentally or Intentionally at the hand
Of the German carpenter at the
Lindbergh Hopewell estate March !.

Meanwhile, Bronx J. County Judge
Harry Stackell denied q motion by
counsel for Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann for permission to examine the
minutes Of the grand jury that in
dicted Hauptmann on charge Of ex-
tortion In the Lindbergh kidnap case.
The court also denied q request by
the defense for q copy Of the minutes.
The denial came after IS minutes
Of debate between James NJ. Fawcett,
counsel for Hauptmann, and Dis-
trict Attorney Samuel ]. Foley.
Fawcett during his argument made
clear the fact that his motion was
preliminary to q motion to quash the
indictment on the ground that the
facts in the case did not sustain the
charges.

NEED zoo MILLION
FOR VETERAN FUND
Increase Based on Payments
Restored by congress.of
Presidents Veto

Washington, Oct. 8.-R1-The gov
eminent Is counting on congress to
appropriate at least 5000. 900 900 more
for the veterans administration next
year than It did In 1894.
Expectations Of such an increase
are based on the veterans payments
restored at the last session Of con-
g1ess over President Roosevelt's veto.
and on q supreme court decision
which overturned . section Of the
1888 economy act.
Though the budget bureau declines
to discuss the matter in advance Of
the presidents budget message to con-
gress, it Is no secret that deficiency
and regular appropriations to be
asked in 1885 will total nearer $77S,-
100000 than the $567, 500 O96 appro-
priated for this year.
This years sum includes no funds
t. meet the payments restored over
the presidents veto. although the
reservations went into effect tmmedi-
ately. Therefore the veterans ad-
ministration Is preparing to ask
$e0.000.000 to take care Of the first
year cost OF these payments.
Another increase Is predicted as q
result Of the supreme courts decision
Of May %, 1894. It attacked sec
ton Of the 1888 economy act which
sought to repeal all laws pertaining
n war risk insurance claims.
