WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. (UP).
Reactions of the pound sterling in
foreign exchange dealings yester-
dav led some Washington observ-
ers to believe that the first skirm-
ish in a long threatened currency
"war" between England and the
United States was being fought in
the worlds gold and exchange
markets.
The treasury clamped down on
all official opinions or speculation
in accord with the policy Of abso-

$2,0O0,000,000 sterilization fund
created yesterday through devalu-
alton of the dollar.
But unofficial observers, watch
ing the progress of the London
and New York exchange markets,
interpreted the days activities as
indicating that the Bank Of Eng
land was struggling to keep the
pound from gaining strength and
the dollar from dropping.
Secretary of the Treasury Mo-
genthau, beyond issuing a few
new regulations for gold purchase
and saying that he regarded the
nation as being on 1884 model
of the gold bullion Standard" had
nothing to say about the new
money program. He announced
that he would refuse to answer
any question at any time relating
to operations of the sterilization
fund of which he Is technically
the director. The president and a
corps of experts are working with
him in handling the operations.
Soon after the London market
opened. the pound started drop
ping and the dollar rising Thurs
day. At the official close of the
London market the pound was at
S4.97 1-2. a quarter Of cent be-
low yesterdays close. The sharp
drop in the pound and rise in thes
dollar could only be explained,
many observers felt. by the as

The Interstate Commerce Commis-

of fresh tomatoes from Texas
must load the boxes crosswise Of
railroad cars when shipped that
way.
Railroads serving the tomato
growing section OF Texas had put
rules into effect requiring cross
wise loading and the shippers pro-
tested OH the ground that this a.
lowed insufficient ventilation and
promoted decay. The railroads
presented evidence TO show that
crosswise loading resulted In much
lower claims for damage than
when boxes were loaded endwise
and refuted other claims Of toe
growers as to generation Of gases

two waited certain death from

Just off the point where the

Captain OStrem said. The Falcon
must have piled up on these
rocks, and Lorenz and EStampa es-
capped In the small skiff found near
the bodies.
Il knew Estampa well. He was a
Norwegian. Lorenz was the deserted
companion Of the Baroness Eloise
Bonsquet de Wagner. They became
friends when Lorenz released Es-
tampa after he had been held prfs-
oner for three days by the baroness.
She had objected to his shooting
fresh meat on the island"
Ostrem said the pair had evident
ly gone In the power boat from
Indefatigable or Santa Cruz island
FOR meat to Charles Island. the only
place it could be obtained, and on
the way back were wrecked on the
reef OF Marchena Island.
He suggested Estampa obtained
the baby clothes found near the
bodies from Mrs. Albert Whitman
for his wife. This also would ex-
plain the letters written by Mar
garet Whitman found near the
bodies.
