Seventeen million dollars In

today.
Pierre S. Du Pont, board chair

BODY
EXAMINED

ASBURY PARK, N. j., Sept. 10
GN.SO.-Virtually cremated, the
body of Capt. Robert r. Willmott,
master of the Inflated luxury
liner Moro Castle, today was ex
amined by chemists here in an ef-
fort to determine whether Captain
Willmott died from poison.
The Skipper of the MORO
Castle died suddenly a short time
before fire destroyed his ship.
Cause of death, according to the
ships doctor, who also persisted in
the fire, was acute indigestion.
Since the sea tragedy, however,
various rumors have arisen that
Captain Willmott's death was at
tributable to other causes, and on
orders of U. S. District Attorney
Martin Conboy, of New York, a
thorough examination was to be
made.
Captain Willmott'S remains were
found by firemen and brought
ashore yesterday in small metal
box. Only the hip bones were IN
tact. The remainder Of the Skele,
ton had been reduced to charred
fragments and the skull crumbled
when firemen attempted to remove
the body.
The examination, under direc
ton of Federal Government chem
lists, was expected to be completed
this afternoon.

DC, TAXI DRIVER
MEETS Mr.. FOX

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 G.N.S0'
Left holding large bag and an
unpaid taxi bill for $42.75, Julius
Olkowitz, 31-year-old Washington
cab driver. was stranded here to-
day, hurting bitter imprecations
at the nonpaying passenger who
lured him from the Capital to
wicked New York.
Mr.. Olkowitz told police a we'll
dressed man had engaged him
outside the Mayflower Hotel In
Washington early yesterday for a
trip to Baltimore. Having had no
previous trouble with chiselers in
the Capital, Mr.. Olkowitz did not
doubt his fares integrity.
After stopping for an hour at
a hotel in Baltimore, the pasSen'
ger reappeared and, displaying a
sheaf of checks, wanted to go on
to New York. The trusting driver,
already hooked for a Sizeable fare,
consented, and they arrived at the
Aston here yesterday afternoon.
The passenger said he would GO
inside and cash a check. The
driver waited and waited. Finally,
he reached the belated conclusion
that he, and not the passenger,
had been taken for a ride. He
walled to police:
"He told me his name was
William Fox. He was dumb,
just like q fox, all right"
Mr.. Olkowitz will return to the
Capital later today, a sadder ano
wiser taxi driver.

Results of the Maine election

once was the great majority party.
Fears of the party leaders cen

result of enthusiasm engen-

would be victory in Maine.
Best Efforts Failed
The party sent its powerful
speakers into Maine. 1t sent all
the money it could spare.
And it ran into stone wall.
That sort of thing discourages

HALF HOUR,
|SCLA|N
President Cleveland Skipper
Accused of Holding Liner
Idle in Fire Tragedy
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN

BY JAMES II. h41GALLEN
NEW YORK, Sept. 10
(I.N.S.).-After a veteran sea-
man, Capt. Robert E. Carey. Of
the Dollar Line ship President
Cleveland, testified today at
the Federal inquiry into the
Moro Castle disaster that he
"did everything humanity pos
sible" to save victims of the
flame-doomed ship, two of his
officers took the stand and ex-
pressed the opinion their life
boats could have been lowered
half an hour sooner.
Because of this delay these
officers-James A. Henderson,
of Mill Valley, CAL, and Harold
Peterson, of San Francisco
said they-didn1t wasn't "a serve
under Captain Carey any
longer.
Not a single survivor was
picked up by the President
Cleveland, which moved in to
less than one-half mile from the
burning Moro Castle during
that tragic period last Satur-
day.
Boats Delayed
A gasp of establishment
swept spectators when Captain
Carey testified that, although
his vessel got within a half mile
Of the Moro Castle at $50
am, 1ifeboats were not lowered
until 48 minutes later = :O6
a. m. In addition, he said, his
boats reported back without
picking up a single survivor.
Captain Carey, a heavy7set, red
faced man of about 60 whose
home is in San Mateo, Cal, spent
an uncomfortable hour on the
stand. He explained that as soon
as he learned of the Moro Castles
plight he went to the rescue, or
dered his crew to "Stand n.y." low
cred two lifeboats and held an
other in readiness.
Boats Returned Empty
His men went out in the two
lifeboats but came back with the
report there was nothing they
could do"
The board of inquiry wanted to
know why the Captain didn't get
his lifeboatS out sooner. His reply
was he was maneuvering his ship,
trying to back it up closer to the
Moro Castle.
Chief Officer Henderson imme'
diately followed Captain Carey to
the stand with frank expression of
his opinion on the manner in
which his ships rescue operations
were directed. He was asked:
''DO you think the lifebOatS
should have been lowered
sooner"
He snapped:
eyes. There was need for it.
I saw people jumping off the
stern"
"Have you done anything
about thiS?"
"NOt yet-but I intend to
ask to be taken off this ship
If the captain is not removed.
81 do not think he did his
duty in this case"
