subsequent self-exile from the
United States, had told Interna-
tional News Service that she knew
nothing about when her husband
left his apartment here, or where
he had gone.
Nine. Comyomdjoglous is the
wife of a Greek fruit merchant.
She became acquainted with
insult soon after his arrival in
Greece and became his steadfast
friend and ardent champion.
Police were engaged in a fran
tic search for the aged ex-million-
aire, who is under indictment in
Illinois in connection with the
collapse Of his 100000 900
utilities empire.
Yesterday a plain clothes de-
tective was stationed at the In
Sull apartment to guard against
his leaving. How insult eluded
the guard has not been learned.
Two maid-ServantS in Insults
apartment were taken into
custody for interrogation. A man
servant also was taken to the
police station and held incom.
municado, as were the maids.
The police refused all informa-
tion beyond admission a minute
search of the apartment had re-
vealed no clue to his whereabouts
or the direction of his departure.
Throughout yesterday a fruit
less effort was made to get visa
for insults travel permit. No
country, apparently, would receive
the former millionaire.
Insults disappearance was par
ticularly surprising to the au-
thorities because of his repeat
edly emphasized physical condi-
ton. He had declared at every
turn that he was too i'll to leave
his bed. His fight against leav-
ing Greece had been based upon
his assertion that to travel would
endanger his life.
For this reason, authorities had
taken no special precautions to
guard him, other than to station
a detective at his door. Despite
all his infirmities, however, insult
apparently arose from his bed and
walked out and a wide search
was launched for him.

made against Mrs. Marie de
Beauvis Richards, socially promi-
nent matron and wife of Ralph
Richards, geologist of the Depart
ment of the Interior, by Mrs.
Nancye M. Lorleberg, went on
trial before Justice F. Dickinson
Let's today in District Supreme
Court.
Mrs. Lorleberg, through At
torney Jean M. Boardman, asked
5000, 900 for the alleged actions of
Mrs. Richards in enticing away
the affections of her husband,
Richard Lorleberg, former cellist
with the washington Symphony
Orchestra.
She charges that Mrs. Richards,
taking music lessons from the eel
list, lavished gifts and money
upon him and offered to purchase
a home for him. The upshot of
the affair, the suit related, was
that he left his wife on December
9, 1882.
Mrs. Richards, represented by
Attorney William C. Sullivan,
denied the charges. The first
session before Justice Let's was
taken up with the selection of a
Jury.

$6 for Inquest
Too High Says
Coroner

CHICAGO, March Is G.N.S).
Because it would have cost $6 to
continue the inquest into the
'ride" Staying of Charles ('Ice
Wagon'') Connors, asSertedly
more than the Touhy gangSter
was worth, a routine verdict was
returned today.
A coroner'S jury returned a
verdict Of murder by persons
unknown" after a short and
Snappy inquest.
Said Deputy Coroner Jacob
Schewel:
81 don't care much who killed
COnnorB. This inquest is going
to be closed. I will not be a
party to spending $6 more of
taxpayers money"
No motive for the Staying Of
Connors was brought out, but
police still say he was slain be-
cause he walked off with a
$25,000 share of the Charlotte
IN. c. mail robbery, refusing to
contribute to a defense fund for
companions.

FAULT
CAUSE Of FIRE
ON GUNBOAT
FuIton'S Commander Praises
Heroic Rescue Work of
British Destroyer

HONG KONG, March Is
UN.S0.-An ordinarily minor
fault in one Of the American gun
boat Fulton's Diesel engines,
causing a small explosion but
igniting a supply Of highly in
flammable oil, was blamed by
Commander Harry McHenry to-
day for the rapidly spreading fire
which destroyed the ship on pa
troll duty yesterday.
Commander McHenry accorded
the highest praise to Commander
Todd and the crew Of the British
destroyer Wishart who, in 95-
minute struggle with the burning
ship and a rough sea, rescued all
1877 of the Fulton'S officers and
men.
Eight Injured
Although only three men were
at first believed to have been hurt
as the Fulton burned, five more
today were revealed to have
sustained injuries. The eight were
rushed to a Hong Kong hospital
where the condition Of one Of the
men, having an injured spine,
was declared serious.
The rescue of his men by the
Wishart, Commander McHenry
said, was one Of the finest bits Of
seamanship he had ever seen. He
added:
81 cannot speak too highly Of
the courageous action of the
officers and crew of the Wis
hart. Their display Of courage
will go down in naval annals.
without the brave assistance
Of the Wishart's crew, many Of
our men undoubtedly would
have been crushed in passing
from the Fulton to the Wis
hart"
Another British destroyer, the
Whitshed, was towing the Fulton
to Hong Kong, where it was ex-
pected to arrive about II p. m.
The fire broke out about so miles
north of Hong Kong in the pirate
infested waters Of Bias Bay.
Bows Touch
The bow Of the Wishart was
brought alongside Of the Fulton's
bow in the high seas, and the
Americans, one by one, jumped
across to the WiShart. The
rough seas necessitated the
Wishart's pulling away several
times, but she came back re-
peatedly, Drawing the leaping
flames, until every man had been
taken aboard.
Some Of the rescued men were
transferred to the British freight
er Tsinan.
The fire spread so rapidly that
the Fulton's Hfeboats could not
be used.
The fire broke out at 6:35 p.
M, while the officers were at
mess. The ship was abandoned
by 10 p. m, apparently a total
loss.

principal factors in the Treasury'S
borrowing April IS.
The middle of next month
$1,000, 100000 in Az per cent
Fourth Liberty bonds mature, hav-
ing been called by the Treasury.
Officials explained today that if
weather conditions were favorable
for outdoor work and an opening
up Of the Governments recovery
activities it would be likely that
probably a billion dollars in addi-
ton to the Liberty bond maturitieS
would be authorized.
It had been anticipated that the
March Is, refinancing would
amount to about $1,000, 100000 in
the face Of a maturity Of $780,
100000. However, officials ex-
planned that owing to unfavorable
weather conditions outdoor work
had been delayed. AS a result the
new issues of four-year three per
cent notes were confined to the
maturity Of $460,000,000 in GER
tificates.
The Government at the present
time is about a billion dollars
behind in its recovery spending
program. Officials expressed the
belief that this amount could be
made up before the end Of the
fiscal year.
In order to keep up with the
budget estimates the Government
must spend more than six billion
dollars in the next three and a
half months.

National Recovery Act for

Striking back at charges of

today charged that Interpretation
of Section IA of the National Re
covery Act had been responsible
for grave controversies" It was
announced also that General
Motors Corporation would slash
hours Of labor from 40 to 36 hours
weekly, with corresponding in
crease in wages.
KnudSen Makes Charge
The charge was made by Will

president of General Motors, who
is appearing before the National
Labor Board with other General
Motors officials and those of the
Hudson Motor Car Company in
an effort to ward off postponed
strike Of approximately 10000 au-
tomobile workers.
Mr.. KnudSen said that wages
could not be raised at this time
without q coincidental increase
in prices with the probable re-
suit Of curtailing production and
reducing employment" in the
automobile industry, parts and
accessory factories and allied
manufacturing and distributing
business. However, he added:

Nevertheless, General Motors
Corporation has decided to act
upon the recommendation of
