WILSON KILLERS

Two Gunmen Are Expected to
Be Arrested in Few Days
As Hunt Closes In

Search for the murderers Of
Allan Wilson, newspaper circula.
ton man who was shot to death
several weeks ago in Takoma Park,
Md, has narrowed down to two
known Washington gunmen,
Maryland authorities said today.
The killers of Mr.. Wilson are
two gambling habitueS who have
been in hiding since the crime.
Police have definitely exploded the
theory that Walter Legenza and
Robert Mais, escaped Richmond
murderers, who were Tri-State
gangsters, were connected with the
crime.
Authorities said that the killing
was the outgrowth of feud be-
tween two groups of Washington
gamblers and that the two gum
men mistook Mr.. Wilson tor
Mickey Macdonald, Washington
gambling den proprietor.
Lieut.. Joseph 1tzel, ace Of the
Baltimore detective bureau, de-
tailed by Governor Ritchie to in
vestigate the crime, said today:
"It is a tough case but we
expect to turn up the killers

BOATS STORED
FOR WINTER

Winter cast it's pail of gloom
and loneliness over the Potomac
River today as preparations went
forward for removing scores OF
boats and yachts from the stream
for the winter season.
Gone from the waterfront are
the chugging boats and palatial
yachts and the summer joys of
fishing and swimming. Boatmen
were busy today hauling their
craft ashore for the winter
months.
The larger yachts, of course,
will be moored in the water, but
the smaller boats are being
hauled ashore, where they are
wrapped in canvas to protect
them against winter blasts and
SHOWS.
There are approximately $780,.
900 worth of craft along the
Potomac waterfront. Boatmen
repeatedly have complained OF
lack of space both in and near
the water, In the matter of stor.
ing the craft for the winter, for
instance, there will not be Suffi
cient space for all the boats
ashore, with the result that many
of them remain In the water
all winter.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10 G.N.S) .
A mystery of the sea was slowly
unfolding today as meager radio
reports trickled in from the
Pacific.
The bodies of two persons were
found on lonely Marchena Island
in the Galapagos group by the
San Diego tuna fishing boat Santo
Armand.
Whether they were those of an
Adam and Eve" remained in
doubt. First reports from the
vessel said the bodies were those
of a man and a woman. Later
radio advices from Capt. Manuel
Rodrigues, master of the Santo
Amaro, said the bodies were those
of two men-probably Alfred
Lorenz and Frank Wittmer, hus-
band of Mrs. Margaret Wittmer.
Hancock to Investigate
Definite information as to the
identity of the two may not be
forthcoming until the yacht OF
Capt. Allan Hancock of Los
Angeles visits the islands within
the next few weeks.
Radio reports indicated the two
persons had been cast upon bar
rem Marchena Island in a small
skiff, after haveing come from
Santa Maria or Charles Island in
the Galapagos group.
When Captain Hancock last
visited Santa Maria Island several
months ago there were nine per
sons there leading a primitive eX
iStence. They were the Wittmers
who had lived there several years;
Lorenz, DR.. Frederick Ritter and
Dora Karwin, the German nudists
and Baroness Won Wagner and a
man named Phillipson.
Letter A Mystery
Recently Captain Hancock, who
has made several scientific expedi
tions to the islands, received a
letter from DR.. Ritter saying that
Baroness Won Wagner and Phillip.
son had vanished to the South
Seas and that Lorenz was leaving
for Germany.

South Sea Death Mystery

, DR.. Ritter limited there was
something he could not tell in his
letter and expressed hope Captain
would return.
Captain Hancock, in an attempt
to reconstruct the tragedy, ad-
vanced the theory that Lorenz had
left Charles Island to carry mail
out to where a fishing boat or a
tramp steamer might pick it up
and had been shipwrecked on
Marchena Island by a tropical
storm.
Letters Found
Mr.. Hancock voiced this opin-
ion because of the radio infornla-
ton that in a bundle of letters
found near the bodies was one
which said:
"LOrenz is waiting in his slOOp
off the island and he is going
to sail this mail to San Chris
tObal Island"
This letter was signed Mar
garet Wittmer."
When Capt. Hancock learned
today that a German passport
found in a coat of one of the
victims, together with a French
Identification card, bore the name
of Alfred Rudolph Lorenz, of I'll
Avenne Daunieniel, Paris, France,
he was more convinced that
Lorenz was one of the tragedy
victims.
Believed in Nature
Captain Hancock said today
the Wittmers went to Charles
Island from Germany to prove
that man and woman could sub
sist on nature alone. He added:

JAPAN SPEEDS

TOKYO, Nov. 10. 0.N.S0.
Having notified the world of her
intention to abrogate the Wash
ington Naval treaty, Japan plans
to 60 beyond the limitation of
the pact in naval construction
for 1885, it was reported here
today.
The reports stated construction
of a new aircraft carrier not
provided for in the Washington
treaty already has commenced at
the Kure Navy Yard.
Air Force to Expand
In addition to this latest formi-
dable addition to the fleet, the
navy ministry intends to
strengthen the various squadrons.
An additional air corps will be
assigned to the second squadron,
it was learned, and new flo
tilla Of torpedo boats to the
third.
Emperor Hirohito tomorrow will
preside at the launching of the
new cruiser Suzuya at the Yoko-
suka naval base. Elaborate cere-
monies will mark. the launching.
Ship Heavily Armed
The cruiser is of latest design
and heavily armed. It will be
capable of a speed of 33 knots and
will carry IA six-inch guns, eight
anti-aircraft guns, and twelve tor
pedo tubes.
The Suzuya is believed to repre-
sent Japan's adaptation of the
"pocket-type" battleship perfected
in Germany owing to the limita-
tions placed upon her by the treaty
Of Versailles. The new vessel,
while conforming to treaty speci-
fications, has the offensive abili-
ties of much larger vessel.

Substitution for the 5-5-3 naval
ratio of a plan under which the
United States, Great Britain and
japan would publicly declare their
naval building programs for five
or 10 years in advance has been
proposed to Japan by Great Bri-
tain, it was learned today.
The suggestion of formal
declaration of future building in
tentions was one of the principal
points of the British compromise
naval proposal aimed at appeas.
ing Japan in her demand for
abolition of the naval ratio system
and yet not incur American
opposition.

open boat a newly-wedded couple
who had been shipWrecked on
their honeymoon and washed
ashore on the rocky coast OF Flo
reana Island.
Baroness Armed
The captain of the fishing boat
which had carried the young
couple on their ill1starred honey
moon told the story of the adven-
ture after his return to Ecuador.
He told how several of his crew
had been lost, but said he. a
number of sailors and the newly
weds reached Floreana Island
safely.
Several men belonging to the
baroness colony greeted them at
the shore and brought them to
the self-styled empress" All were
heavily armed and the baroness
herself, attired in her traditional
costume of silk shorts and a
flimsy blouse, sported a revolver
held about her waist with a silk
cord.
After hearing their story, the
baroness Immediately ordered the
shipwrecked castaways to leave.
She had the newly-weds placed in
an open boat, without food or
oars, the captain said, and set
them adrift, remarking they
would have more time for love-
making if unburdened by the
necessity of rowing or eating or
talking to unsympathetic COM
panionS.
Numerous other stories Of the
baroness fierce temper were re-
ceived here. A Norwegian sailor
told of being kidnapped and held
prisoner, while another story said
one of her male companions had
been shot tc death in a mysteri-
GUS incident.

Upon landing we found the skiff

No Trace of Woman
Both were signed by Mrs. Mar

There was nothing to indicate
what had brought the men to the
island. Possibly a sudden storm
drove them from their course and
they were so weakened when cast
up there they were unable to
launch their boat again.

Crillon Expedition.


JUNEAU. Alaska, June 25 (N.A.
N.A). Hopes of the expedition were
realized today when l 200 pounds of
supplies were dropped from an air
plane to a camp base at an altitude OF
5000 feet on Mount Crillon. Thirty
one specially constructed boxes were
thrown from the plane. travelling at
100 miles an hour 1000 feet above
the snowfields of the mountain, and
not single box broke.
The success of this aerial dumping
will speed ascent of the peak by at
least 10 days.
Aviation made another contribution
to the expeditions efforts in enabling
the party to reach the base camp at
Crillon Lake. $50 miles west Of Ju-
neau, after two weeks delay caused
by the Pacific longshoremen's strike.
One group flew from Juneau above
sea of clouds. meeting an advance
group at Lituya Bay.

Our supplies were hurriedly relayed
bv plane from Lituya Bay to Crillon
Lake over the intervening peaks of
the coast range Pilot Gene Meyrlng
of, the Alaska Southern Airways, per-
formed remarkably with eight loads
averaging we'll over l 900 pounds each
The work accomplished by plane IN
a single morning was the equivalent
of six weeks terrific labor on foot.
The mountains appear more mag
nifcent than I ever had seen them
on two previous attacks on Mount
Crillon Rising thousands of feet
above a low sea of clouds, the vast
expanSe of peaks of the Alaska coast
range rises into the cloudless upper
sky.
More snow than I ever had see be-
fore on the lower glaciers promises
excellent climbing conditions. The
vast amount of fresh snow makes
possible use of skis and sledges even
at low attitudes. Magnificent weather,
following a week of storms appears
likely to last and. within the next
few days, we hope to push the re-
naming supplies up to the 6,oo0-foot
camp.
Observations on Glacier.
The base camp scientific party is
beginning observations Immediately
on the Crillon Glacier to determine
the depth of the ice and the speed
of the glacier The measurements
are made by dynamite blasts and
electric timing of the vibratory i'm
pulses that are reflected from the
rock floor beneath the ice of Crillon
Lake
The base camp has been perma-
nently established and the expedi-
tion's radio station is being hooked
up. All the men are in perfect shape
and confident of success However,
myriad unpredictable difficulties make
impossible anything more than high
hopes.
