Eden Island Puzzle
 Is Still Unsolued
tContinued from Page D

It seemed impossible that the mystery would be solved for sev- eral weeks until the Ecuadorean government was able to send a ship with police to the islands, hundreds of miles out in the Pacific on the equator.
 Cast of Characters
 But information so far available indicated the following cast Of characters:
 LOrenZ.
 Nuggerud.
 A negro deck hand aboard Mug gerud's yacht Dinamita.
 Baroness Eloisa Bosquet De Wagner Wehrborn, of Austria and France.
 Robert Philippson. a German business man.
 Artur and Margaret Wittmer, German resident on Flereana ls- land.
 Of these, the first five are miss ing.
 Two years ago the Baroness, Lo- renz and Philippson went to the Galapagos Islands to augment the little colony of nature lovers. the Barones and LorenZ went as sweethearts, apparently; Philipp- son as a mutual friend. Last week Rolf Blomberg, Nor wegian newspaper man, and Pro- lessor Martin Voegel, a German scientists, arrived from the Gala pagos and reported the disappear ance of the Baroness and Philipp- son.
 The Story They Told
 They told the following story to authorities, based on information given them while they were in the Galapagos: The Baroness, LorenZ and Phil ippson lived in house they built on Floreana Island. Apparently, as time passed. the Baroness and Philippson found their liking for each other inereas- ing. Lorenz was placed in charge of the cooking and menial tasks There was a fight one day and he | fled to the home of Mir and Mrs Wittmer for refuge. He lived there ! for several months, melancholy | and restless. The Baroness per. | suaded him to return. On March 23 last, the Wittmeps heard loud voices from the vicinity of the LorenZ-P Philippsor

HOUSE PAINTER
 ] TO BE DEPORTED

New York, Nov 20-UP)-John 1smiukse, the chivalrous house painter who destroyed a canvas |caricaturing President and Mrs Roosevelt and the new deal at a |Westchester art exhibit, faces de- portation as an undesirable alien Eet was learned today.
 Smiukse has been directed to appear for a hearing at Ellis Island
 tomorrow. Although he won a commutation of a six months sen- tence for burning the painting s.Nishtmare of 1884" after many persons rallied to his defense, he was less optimistic concerning his schances of escaping deportation.

abode. They ran to investigate. Lorenz approached them. He said that the Baroness and Philippson had gone away in an American yacht. Lorenz and Wittmer went to the Baroness house, to find 1t in great disorder. A few days later Lorenz dismantied the house, built like others on the tropical island of corrugated zinc, and sold the zinc, wood and utensils of the group.
 Barrel For Post Office
 LorenZ seemed more distraught the barrel which serves as post office for the island, asking for the first passing ship to take him away.
 The Yacht Dinamita. with Cap tain Nuggerud and negro deck hand, called and responded to Lo- renz's plea to take him away.
 That ends the Blomberg- -Voegel story.
 Last week end the Tuna fishing clipper Santo Amaro, commanded by Captain Manuel Rodrigues, found two bodies, decomposed, on the barren MaicKena Island, a vol canic unit of the "Enchanted Is- lands.
 One of the bodies was under the boat on which they had reached the island-deliberat or blown | there by a storm. The other was ! farther up the beach. In a group of islands named Gal | apagos for the great tortoises which provide an unlimited means I of subsistence; where sea lions may be had for food by anyone who will | walk up and knock them over the | head-the two who died were | washed on an island where there was no water. They had killed a seal and cut a piece of flesh from it.
 Try to Identify Bodies l At first the two bodies were be- lieved to be those of a man and a woman, and it was feared that Dr | and Mrs Wittmer had left their | own island and died, because let l ters from Mrs Wittmer to friends | in civilization were found on one of the bodies.
 | Then it, was established that the bodies were those of men. and the theory was advanced that the vic | tims were Lorenz and Dr Wittmer. But Philipps Lord, an American radio entertainer en route to the South Seas in his yacht, wirelessed 1 last night that he had dined with | the Wittmers on Floreana Island only a wek ago. They were elimin- ated.
 One of the bodies seemed defin- itely that of LorenZ, who was re- ported as leaving the island with Nuggerud and the deck hand. It appeared that the other, described as of blonde type, was Nuggerud. What happened to the negro in that event, was uncertain.
 There remained the mystery of the fate of the Austrian Baroness and Philippson. the German bus mess man. Nothing has been heard of them since March 23. last.
 Baroness Is Traced Paris, Nov PD-Police, l inquiring into the Galapagos Is- lands mystery of the finding of two bodies and the disappearance of two former Parisians, to-day traced the Austrian Baroness De Wagner and Alfredo Rudolph Lorenze back to Paris. They said that the Bar oness owned toy shop here, and that Lorenz was butler in her household. They described the Bar oness as romantic and eccentric She was quoted as announcing that she was going to the South Seas to
 make motion picture films and in
 1880 she left with Lorenz and l PhilipDsOn.

 the kingpin of the racketeers went to California before the plan could be carried out. Police Know Nothing At police headquarters it was stated that police had heard of" the case but that nothing was be- ing done officia;Iy as yet. Detec-

 owned palatial gambling houses and was involved in pre-repeal alcohol racket that may tie up with the case. Weiss was described as about 40 years old, lean and cadaverous in appearance. He was said to
 be the "brains' behind a number of businesses and part owner of
 several night clubs.
 Justice Department at Work Washington, Nov 20.e(UP)-
 Full resources of the justice de- partment' were drawn upon today in an effort to solve the reported abduction of William Weiss, Phila- delphia night club figure.
 J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the
 federal investigators, personally directed the search for Weiss and the gangsters who reportedly kid | naped him for 100000 ransom. The Weiss abduction appeared to
 be the first Kidnapping carried out
 by gangsters in ;. many months.
 Other recent cases have been es-
 sentially amateur jobs". Fear thai
 he had been slain was expressed in | Philadelphia.
 Hoover said the federal authori- ties were not notified of the dis appearance of Weiss until last night, although he reportedly was
 seized October 26.
 Hoover said investigation of the
 case was being directed from the headquarters here, rather from the
 departments field office in Phila-
 delphia.
 Hoover declined to comment on

 Great Catholic Service
 The celebration of the '25th an- niversary of Cardinal Mundelein's elevation to the rank of bishop provided the greatest Catholic serv- ice in Chicago since the Eucharist ic congress in 1926.
 Heading the long list of church dignitaries were Cardinal Hayes Of New York and the Most Rev Am leto Giovanni Cicognami, papal delegate to the United States. Sev- enteen archbishops, eighty-seven bishops, ten abbots and 800 priests joined in the tribute.
 The procession to the cathedral was headed by churchmen in flow ing purple robes. One carried a big gold crucifix and on either side were others with gold candelabra.
 AS the procession moved slowly toward the entrance, over which hung the cardinals shield, the bell in the big Gothic structure tolled. A light shower was falling.
 Thousands On Outside
 Thousands, unable to get into the church, listened to the services through loud speakers.
 The procession filed into the cathedral with altar boys in black and white leading. Brown-robed Franciscans, white-robed Domini- cans and purple-robed papal cham berlains and domestic prelates fol- lowed just preceding the bishops and cardinals.
 Police had difficulty keeping the line of march open. Spectators found vantage points from every housetop. Groups of nuns were seated atop a nearby convent.
 Inside the cathedral where a solemn pontifical mass of thanks giving was sung, elaborate decora- tions had been arranged.
 The altar and special throne on the gospel side of the sanctuary were covered with red roses. Law ish floral pieces were arranged throughout the cathedral.
 Attire of Cardinal
 Cardinal Mundelein was attired in flowing red and gold robe with a long train carried by an altar boy.
 Escorting him were the priests and four guards of honor.
 A choir of 225 sang the mass of Montani "Missa Festiva." and then Cardinal Mundeicin said the poni- fical votive mass of thanksgiving.
