KINGSTON, Jamaica. october l.
The $50 passengers and about $50 OF
the crew of the marooned liner Rot
terdam came ashore today to the
peace and hospitality Of Jamaica.
They landed from the rescue ship
Ariguani shortly before Z am. in
happy frame Of mind, apparently I'M
perturbed by the interruption of their
pleasure cruise on a coral reef at
Morant Gays, so miles southeast OF
Kingston, early yesterday.
Most of the passengers were asleep
when the vessel went aground, and
they remained aboard ship until 4:30
pm. yesterday, when their transfer to
the Ariguani began.
The Holland America liner was said
by the passengers to be high on a
rock and battered by heavy seas.
Mrs. Otto Schumacher of New York
said she felt the ship bump and that
then, after a brief interval, there were
two other small bumps in quick sue
cession. She realized then that the
Rotterdam was aground.
Crew Cheered Passengers.
Other passengers told how Capt. j.
van Dulken, who is remaining aboard
the Rotterdam with about $50 of the
crew, and his officers comforted the
passengers and inspired confidence in
them. 1t was said the vessel had
drifted from her course.
The S. S. Midas is among a group
of ships which are standing by the
Rotterdam today as she tries to back
down off the reef.
The passengers are staying in the
Myrtle Bank and Constant Spring
Hotels. the latter reopened to care
for hem.
They will return to New York Sun
day on the S. S. Volendam.
The skeleton crew was in no imme-
date danger, and the salvage ship
Killerig, out of Kingston, strained to
set the big liner free.
| Four hundred and fifty passengers
and about $50 of the crew of 526 OF
the Rotterdam came to Kingston.
Scheduled originally to leave for
England today, the Ariguani was
loading here yesterday when the Rot
terdam wirelessed for assistance. She
put out to sea quickly and arrived
alongside the liner yesterday after
noon.
Woman Sprains Ankle.
A heavy swell was sending breakers
over the reef but the task Of trans
ferring hundreds of people with theil
baggage was completed by the Rot
terdam's crew without injury, except
| for a sprained ankle suffered by one
of the women.
Cause of the Rotterdam's grounding
was not explained. She struck the
coral reef about 1870 Monday morn
ing. Some passengers were still up
celebrating a Spanish fiesta. Others
in night clothes, cried out as they
rushed on deck.
Order was soon restored. Corrint
Buckheart and Anthony Costello, New
York professionals, helped by dancing
the Carioca on the deck. The pasSen'
gers, many still in pajamas. paced
the decks quietly for hours later await
ing developments.

beach less than 200 yards away pu

ITALY CLOSES

France Asks Aid of
British Against
Reich.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
France issued unexpected orders
for military maneuvers and strength
ened her defenses along the German
border as the date drew near for
Germany's official retirement from
the League of Nations.
At the same time the French were
reported as anxious for British avia-
ton support against any threat from
Germany in return for French REIN
forcements, of the British feet in the
Mediterrean in case of trouble with
Italy.
These negotiations, revolving in
diplomatic and military channels
around the Italo-E Ethiopian crisis CEN
tering in East Africa, appeared to be
solidifled by actions in the two most
interested countries-Italy and Ethi-
opia.
Selassie Ready to Mobilize.
Emperor Halle Selassie informed
the League that he was prepared to
Mobilize his fighting men, and there
were indications that this mobilization
might be undertaken yet this week.
Luigi Vinci-Gigliucci, the Italian
Minister in Adds Ababa, ordered the
five Italian consulates in Aduwa and
Harar Provinces to evacuate as quickly
as possible.
Informed sources in Rome described
Ethiopia's impending mobilization as
a "menacing threat" of imminent war.
Officials said the Italian Army in East
Africa had not crossed the Ethiopian
border. but they they were braced
against an Ethiopian attack.
The italian press resumed its criti-
cal, and at times hostile, attitude
toward Great Britain, whose fleet is
on guard in the Mediterranean against
possible difficulties along the Suez
Canal route.
Departure Effective October FL.
Since Germany's resignation from
the League becomes effective October
81, part Of the interest at Geneva
centered on the Reich. German dip
lomats indicated that their country
would remain neutral in the event
of war between Italy and Ethiopia. -
Nevertheless, France, as usual, was
regarded as nervous over the border
situation.
A responsible German source In
Geneva disclosed that the Third Reich
would allow the historic date when its
resignation notice becomes effective
to pass in cold silence.
He said Germany believed the
League of Nations was in stage
of such great evolution at present that
there was no reason for the Reich to
think of canceling its two-year notice.
German officials had set this to ex-
pire october 81.

VAN SWER|NGENS
BEGIN COMEBACK
Purchase of Securities of

NEW YORK, October with con-
trolling securities of their gigantic
railroad network in their pockets. the
Van Sweringen brothers of Cleveland
steamed of on another phase of their
rail career today.
On the way back to complete mas
terry of their railway system the
brothers will have to pass a number
of danger signals, Wall Street banking
circles said.
In these quarters it is believed that
the actual bidding-in of the key Sc
curities by the Van Sweringens yes
terday was merely a point of de-
parture.
With the aid of George A. Tomlin-
son. Cleveland steamship operator,
and George A. Ball. Indiana glass jar
manufacturer, the Van Sweringens
bought at open auction stocks and
bonds which they had put up as COL
lateral for loans which, with back in
terest, totaled about $4,000, 900.
The collateral was placed on the
block by a banking group headed by
J. P. Morgan g. Co. The bankers
realized about $4,703, 900 and suffered
loss of approximately Sac, 297, 900.
The brunt of the loss, it was said in
Wall Street, was borne by the Morgan
firm.
Now that the Van Sweringens have
bought back the collateral. they must
surmount four obstacles, rail men de-
clared.
First: They are confronted with
pending receiverships Of two Of the
units of their rail domain, the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois To this burden is
added the weight of financial prob
lens surrounding the Denver and Rio
Grande Western and the Nickel Plate.

captain of the East Chicago, Ind,
Police Department.
ONeil and Detective Martin zarko-
vich, who took Mrs Anna Sage to
Melvin Purvis with information that
enabled the &c" men to trap Dillin-
ger, told their story in an interview.
The American said zarkovich. often
mentioned as the officer who shot Dill

deed. Zarkovich was quoted as saying:
1T wasn't I. I'm sorry it wasn't.
Tim ONeil shot Dillinger."
ONeil, the newspaper said, ad-
mitted firing the shot that dropped
the gangster to the pavement, where
he died.

ONeil and Zarkovich agreed to dis
close their story, the American said,
in order to aid Mrs. Sage, "the woman
in red" in her fight to avoid deporta-
ton to Rumania. The officers, the
newspaper said, supported Mrs. Sage's
claim that Purvis, former head of the
"G-men" in Chicago, had promised
her immunity from deportation In re-
turn for the information which led
to Dillinger's entrapment.
Zarkovich said:
IF it had not been for Mrs. Sage

ment is not being fair with Mrs. Sage
and I am going to tell just what I

me she could turn up Dillinger. She
said she was in trouble with the Gov
eminent, and would do it if she was
promised she would not be deported.

II told her I would see what could
be done. I arranged a meeting at an
east Chicago hotel. Purvis and a
special agent named Winstead were
there. They promised to do what
they could, and were very assuring to
her. Later there was another meet
ing at a street intersection in Chi
cago and the promises were repeated.
Mrs. Sage provided the informa-
ton that Dillinger would go to a
theater Sunday night, either to the
Blograph or to a West Side theater
Purvis and O'Neil went to the Bio
graph. Winstead and I were with
others on the West Side.
Later we received word to hurry to
the Biograph. got there a few min
utes before Dillinger came out. Dill

also fired. After the killing heard

In a sharp attack on administration
spending and mounting taxation,
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, a
member of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, last night called for vigorous
retrenchment in line with campaign
promises of 1882 and a balanced
budget by 1898.
Speaking in the National Radio
Forum, arranged by The Star and
broadcast over Nationwide network
of the National Broadcasting Co..
King, who was an outspoken OPP
ponent of N. r. A.. pointed out that
the public debt approximates $780,
600 ,000,0 900 and cannot be expanded
further indefinitely.
Unfortunately" he added, there
are those who exhibit no concern in
fiscal policies and in the adoption of
measures which will maintain the
credit of the Government. The de-
mands are made for larger appropria-
lions and the entrance of Govern
ment into fields of activity which be-
long exclusively, under our theory of
government, to individuals and pri-
vate endeavor.
Time to Take Stock.
"It is time that we should take
stock Of the financial condition of the
Government and determine to sup
port only sound fiscal policies and
enforce rigid economy in all branches
Of Government"
1t is only by this that recovery will
come, he emphasized.
Assailing schemes for socialization
of industry" King amplified: "Un-
doubtedly there are in public positions
and in some Of our colleges individuals
who are dissatisfied with our form Of
Government, and by usurpation, If they
could, and if not, by change in the
Constitution, would embark this Re-
public upon the sea Of socialism or
upon a road that leads to totalitarian
state. They are enamoured with the
spirit of RECOMMENDATION and discipline
that will only end by destroying the
sovereignty of the States and bringing
all the people within the control OF
bureaus and Federal agencies"
