Cancellation. That the plaintiff has

was damaged considerably by fire
in the engraving department about
noon today.
The injured man. Fred Burrhus,

to Emergency Hospital, where it
was said his condition is serious.
The fire followed an explosion
that sent employees on the second
floor of the building rushing to
the street. Firemen had to don
gas masks to go through clouds
of smoke that rolled out of the
third floor windows. BurrhuS, an
engraver, was believed the only

explosion took place. The damage
was not estimated.

BOSTON, Sept. 10 U.N.SO.
Two divers were sent to the bot
tom of Boston harbor today to
examine the split hull of the ex-
cursion steamer Romance. whose
passengers and crew were saved
last night when it sank after be-
ing hit by the coastwiSe steamship
New York.
The inspection being made by
the divers was part Of an inveS-
tigation launched by the Federal
Steamboat Inspection Service.
Crews of both ships saved the
romance's 153 passengers before
it sank Is minutes after the crash.
The Romance's crew of SO also es-
capped.
None Seriously Hurt
Although several persons SUI
fered superficial injuries, only
three were sent to hospitals. None
of these was seriously injured.
The ships collided off Graves
Light, five miles out, in dense
fog, the bow of the New York knit
ing almost completely through the
smaller steamer. Both steamers
were playing searchlightS on the
water and sounding foghorns.
Radio operators of the two
steamers were in contact with
each other, but were unaware Of
their proximity.
Ladders Used in Rescue
Capt. Roland F. Litchfield, Of
the steamship New York. saved the
Romance from sinking almost i'm
mediately by keeping his ships
bow in the rent torn in the side
of the smaller vessel while pas
sengerS clambered to the decks Of
the New York on ladders.
A CHASTITY whistle, screaming Of
it's own accord, sounded requiem
over the 38-year-old excursion
steamer, as she listed before
sinking. The whistle was set off
mysteriously in the damaged
vessel.
Eighty Romance passengers and
crew members were saved in life
boats lowered from the two ships.
Some passengers landed in the
water but were picked up by boats.

ABDUCT0R
TO RETURN
INFANT
Man Who Knows Him
Contacts Kidnaper
In Detroit Case

DETROIT, Sept. 10 Q.N.S).
The kidnaper of 20-month-old
Harry Browe will be contacted in
directly by police this afternoon
and reveal the whereabouts Of the
baby, Deputy Chief of Detectives
William ]. Collins announced
today.
His announcement presaged a
"break" in the strange case Of the
infant reported stolen from his
perambulator in Clark Park here
last Saturday afternoon.
Chief Collins said the kidnaper
Is known, and that he was ex-
pected to keep the appointment
in car at a certain spot, known
to police, this afternoon.
Three See KidnapeP
Collins said first information
came to him early today after
three residents reported sighting
the kidnaper driving over coun-
try roads near Milan and Dundee,
Mich, presumably headed for
Ohio. An informant called him,
Collins declared, and told him:
Someone will call and tell
you where the baby and the
man that is with him are later
today"
The promised information ar
rived as predicted, Collins said
and added:
"The kidnaper and child
stayed at o room in q cheap
hotel outside the State. He
went to bed at l p. M, yeSter-
day and got up shortly before.
midnight last night. He got
some food for the child. But
he had the misfortune to meet
a man who knows him and
knows he has no child of his
own"
Collins declined to give further
details, but it was presumed this
man would serve to contact" the
kidnaper.
All roads in Southern Michigan
and Northern Ohio were being
guarded, and a systematic check
was made of all tourist camps and
rooming houses in Milan and To
ledo. Inspector Joseph Fruchey

Of Bride

The sum of 100000 is asked
in a suit filed today in United
States District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia by Ruth Ann
Campbell, 20, of Is U st. N. E.,
against William Webb Shives,

Sixteenth st. NJ. W., who, she al

ing divorce from his first wife

divided into two sections and
$50, 900 is asked on each count.
Through her attorneys, Robert

Miss Campbell alleges that Shives
induced her to go through a mar
riage ceremony with him in
Marlboro, Md, last st. Valen-
tines Day and that she lived
with him as his wife until April
when, she says, she learned she
was not his legal wife.
At that time, the suit declares,
ShiveS promised to remarry her

from his first wife and his al
legged failure to do so forms the
basis of the second count.

Lisbon Attempt Cited
AS Lesson to Every
Nation in Europe

LISBON, Sept. 10 U.N.sJ.
Warning the Communist Interna-
tional is attempting to create a
Red fleet" throughout the world
by boring into the crews of war
ships Of all nations, Premier
Oscar Carmona of Portugal today
called for united action to coun-
teract the menace.
In an official statement, the
president advised all governments
to follow the example of Portugal
and open fire without hesitation
upon all mutineering vessels, de-
stroying them and their crews if
necessary.
Cites Example
President Carmona referred to
the drastic action recently under-
taken by Lisbon shore batteries
in bonbarding two Portuguese
warShipS whose crews, allegedly
influenced by Communists, had
mutinied in an attempt to seize
the warshipS and use them to
side with Spanish governmental
vessels in the civil war.
Thorough investigation under
taken by the Portuguese govern
ment after this incident, Car
mona said, showed definitely
there is danger of a Red fleet"
being established through agents
working upon the crews of all
navies.
In view of this revelation, he
added, the Portuguese govern
nent is redoubling its efforts to
wipe out the last vestiges Of Com
munism in Portugal. A decree
has been published compelling
all public officials to repudiate
Communism or risk dismissal
and Punishment.
Advises Powers
President Carmona's statement
said:
1.-THE fact some foolish Portu.
guese sailors had the criminal
intention Of taking their ships
to join the red fleet should be
food for thought for the powers
which stand for law and order.
'It shows the danger of an
international red fleet being
established without response
bility to the nations which fur
nish the warShips.
"Whatever may happen, POr-
tugal will answer for its fleet
and will not hesitate to order
the destruction of any POrtu-
guese ships which attempt to
fly other than the Portuguese
flag.
1--WE hope our action will be
an example for others to follow.
Although stringent economies
are i'm effect, it is with joy and
. clear conscience Of duty that
/ have ordered construction of
new warshipS to replace those
irreparably damaged.
"We are tired Of telling
Europe that the Spanish civil
war, although it started of its
own Independent voIitiOn, is
evidently becoming an interna-
tiOnal battle on a national field.
"Only countries which have
already suffered from encrOach-
ment of Communism or have a
clear reason to understand its
dangers fully realize the situa-
ton as we do"
