ON LONELY
ISLAND IDENTIFIED
Thirst and Starvation May
Have Killed Adventurer
and Companion.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, November 1.-TWO
bodies, one a mans the other a
woman's, lie today on the sun-burned
beach Of Marchena Island, in the CAL
apagos group, just as a fishing boat
captain found them Saturday.
The couple, tentatively identified as
Arthur Whitman, a German, and his
wife, presumably died of starvation
and thirst when they were marooned
after venturing from their home on
Charles Island in the same island
group.
Manuel Rodriguez, skipper Of the
tuna clipper Santa Amaro, and his
radio operator, James Ellis, prowling
the beach on the barren island, found
the bodies, which were in such condi-
ton that Identification was difficult.
Friend Aids Identity.
However, furnished with descrip-
tionS of the German couple by Capt.
G. Allan Hancock, a Los Angeles ex-
plorer who knew them, Capt. Rodri-
d0FAoCo AdShdy SIdLlOtl
here he had definitely identified one
of the bodies as Whitman, and said the
second body was probably that of a
woman, the wife of the adventurer
There was also a possibility the
second body might be that of Alfred
Rudolph LorenZ of Paris, France, who
was one of a group of adventures
who sought solitude on Charles Island
A passport bearing Lorenz's name
was found on the body of the man
identified as Whitman. A packet Of
letters was found near the body ct
the woman.
Quotes From Letter.
From a letter addressed by Mrs.
Wittmer to Capt. Hancock at his home
in Los Angeles, was this excerpt:
Must hurry now and complete this,
because Arthur is waiting to take it
to Lorenz, who is waiting in his slocp
off Santa Maria Island to take the
mail to San Cristobal."
1T seems to me Mr. and Mrs Witt
man started out from Charles Island
to contact Lorenz on one of the other
islands," said Capt. Hancock They
apparently were swept northward
across the Equator by sudden storm
At any rate, the meager description Of
the bodies received here indicate to
me the victims are Mr.. and Mrs.
Whitman.
Had Two Children.
The Wittmans were the parents Of
2-year-old child and 14-year old boy
They lived on the lonely equatorial
island with DR.. Frederick Ritter and
Dora Karwin, German nudistS.
Near the smaller body was a bundle
of infants clothing, but there was no
trace of child's body. Capt. Hancock
said he had presented Mrs. Whitman
with supply OF clothing for her baby
when he was at Charles Island last
February.
There was also possibility, provid-
ing the skipper Of the tuna boat had
erred in making his Identification of
Whitman, that the two bodies might
be those Of Baroness Won Wagner and
man named Phillipson. who lived on
Charles Island until two months ago
Their present whereabouts is un-
known.
Capt Rodriguez, after taking all the
evidence that might point to identifi-
cation of the pair found on the beach,
left the bodies where he found them,

charges with the Senate which
brought a prolonged Senate investi-
CATION into the Overton election.
He charged corruption at the bal
lot boxes by the forces of Senator
Huey Long in the electino of his sue
cessor, Overton, and these charges
led to exhaustive Senate Committee
Investigations, in which enemies OF
the Long organization sought to oust
both Long and Overton from the

Senator Broussard was decisively
defeated by Overton in the 1882 cam
paign and did not file a formal contest

in the Senate, claimed that Overton
was elected by fraud of the Long
machine and that Senator Long was
unfit to occupy a seat in the United
States Senate.

FOUR POWERS GET
PEACE PACT OFFER.
Schuschnigg SoIicits Their
Participation in Present
Tripartite Accord.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, November 1e.-Chancellor
Kurt Schuschnigg of Austria, here for
conferences with Italian leaders, told
the Associated Press today he had is
sued an invitation to Germany, Yugo-
slavia, Czechoslovakia and Rumania
to join in the Italo- -Austro- Hungarian
pact in an effort to bring economic
and political peace to Central Europe
He said Italy is not interfering
in the internal affairs of Austria and
has never interpreted her relations
with Austria in the sense of a protec-
torate."
Can't Change Foreign Policy.
He declared that what he called an
anti-Austrian campaign in some quar-
ters cannot induce a change in the
direction Of our foreign policy, since
we are persuaded it responds to the
general European need"
Hungary and Austria in the field of
economic and cultural policy" said
Chancellor Schuschnigg, demon
strates that a rapprochement and
collaboration in this sense is pos
sible without any injury to the
sovereignty Of the participants. The
pact has no tendency to keep at a
distance those outside it or to exclude
any state.
"On the other hand, it ought to
be the basis for an enlargement of an
economic agreement with the other
states which would be disposed to
enter 1t. The pact creates a form
which. without modifying the condi-
tions of international law and with
out injurtng the autonomy and in
dependence Of the participants, per-
mits not only effort in common for
overcoming the economic crisis. but
also permits cultural work in COM
mon."

Also, he added sentence suggesting

Talking in Whispers.
OF course, there has been no talk
ing, except by a few hundred people,
and then only in stage whispers,
which will be heard around the world.
Also, the commission has decided to
stand pat on its demands. which
leaves matters just where they were
before Mr.. Richberg started.
That will give you a slight idea of
what this co-ordinating job is like
and how much fun it is going to be
when Mr.. Richberg gets around to
some Of the hard cases. Before it is
over, Mr. Richberg will use his pen
for jabbing instead of writing, and
then the campaign to mold the far
flung New Deal into a harmonious
unit undoubtedly will become a ques-
ton of the survival OF the fittest.

Such adroit dispositions of difficult
cases haUe been accomplished be-
fore in the NeW Deal.
Having tried everything else on the
japanese, without success, the United
States diplomats are now turning
Navy Secretary Swanson loose on
them.
The program started when an an
onymous American voice was heard
in the press dispatches from London
recently, shouting that we would out
build the Japanese if they ditched
existing naval treaties The cloak of
anonymity was rather thin, as nearly
every one recognized Admiral William
Standley. At least the Japanese did.
Mr.. Swanson almost Immediately
suggested that the Navy might send
the Macon out to Hawaii to determine
its war qualities" Then Swanson
made announcements indicating we
could outbuild Japan's Navy by so
per cent; contemplating improvements
at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, permitting
easy "ingress and egress of warships";
contracts for three new aircraft hang
ars at Hawaii and threatening con-
struction Of new 2,5O0, ,0O0- -cubic-foo
dirigible.
There Is nothing subtle about Mr..
Swanson.
The politicians around here have
heard some wild tales about the ambi-
tions of Upton Sinclair. They wish
they knew whether the reports were
true.
Their dope is that Sinclair has
dropped the California gubernatorial
plaything and is planning presiden-
tial campaign for 1896. They say he
did not care to be Governor of Cali
fornia and was only writing another
book when he published "I, Governor
of California" For that reason they
believe he will not push his promised
recall campaign against Gov. Merriam
but will devote himself to more serious
business

Mr. Richberg took his sharpest pen
in hand and wrote to the F. T. C. He
said, in effect, he thought the COM
mission should desist, that the steel
people would use the case to worm
out of its N. r. A. code, and implied
that the F. T. C. was going outside its
