Shanghaingo offs
BySpanish Ship
the Associated Press.


ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, Sep
tember 4.-The mysterious flight of
the Spanish freighter Aizkari Mendi
with three shanghaied Dutchmen, was
investigated by police today.
No explanation had been advanced
for the, strange incident in which the
captain of the steamer participated.
1t was first thought the crew had
mutinied, but this was discounted by
the three Dutchmen who were put
off in rowboat after the vessel was
chased outside territorial waters by
police boat and mine-layer Of the
Royal Dutch fleet.
One of the three, a harbor pilot.
went aboard the Aizkari Mend last
night in response to request to
move the ship to another wharf. Two
dock officials accompanied him.
Once the ship was in motion, the
captain ordered the pilot to take the
ship to sea under threat of physical
violence. The ship halted outside the
territorial limit, after eluding the
police boat and the minelayer, and
the three Dutchmen and three mem
bers OF the Spanish crew were per-
mitted to escape in a small boat.
The three crew men were dropped
because they were unwilling to make
the voyage. 1t was believed the 3,509-
ton freighter was headed for Bilbao,
the insurgent-held port of Northern
Spain, from which 1t is registered. Il

Prices of Meats
TOCOnle DOlU1,.
Economists Say
Declare Larger Crops
and Protests Viii
Bring Drop.
BY the Associated Press.

Housewives who have been bowling
about the high cost of meat had the
word of Government experts today
that prices had reached a peak and
declines woul dfollow shortly.
Charts on retail meat prices at the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
showed they had touched seven-year
highs recently-especially for tender,
juicy steaks and savory pork chops.
The economists said high prices
were caused by droughts and business
recovery.
The decline will come, the econ
omists predicted, as result of larger
crops and protests by the public over
high costs.
They said meat prices usually are
highest about this time Of year, and
gradually taper of until early Spring,
when they turn upward.
The American Federation of Labor,
stating living costs in July were 4.3
per cent higher than during the same
month last year, declared workers will
be forced to lower living standard
this Fall unless their pay checks are
at least per cent larger than in 1886.
Present buying power" the fed
Grafton said, "is not enough to give
industry the impetus 1t needs for a
steady upward pull In the next IL
months. This Fall is the logical time
for . further incraase in wages.

POPPENBERG SEEN
DRIVING TO DEATH
Two Witnesses Sighted Real
Estate Dealer Alone in
Army Truck.

Police said today they had located
two witnesses who saw Gustav Herman
Poppenberg, 3l-year-old Capital real
estate dealer. driving toward Berwyn
Heights in a stolen Army truck in
which his body was found early Thurs
day with bullet through the temple
Patrolman r. A. Pearson of the
Prince Georges County force declared
fellow officer, A. j. Carrigan, and
Clarence Gessner. driver of a milk
truck, both saw Poppenberg proceed
ing toward the point where his body
was discovered several hours later. He
was alone, they said.
Pearson asserted the disclosure bears
out a coroner's finding last night that
Poppenberg committed suicide. Rela-
tives and friends of the dead man, who
was found with a .32-caliber revolver
clutched in his hand, had expressed
the belief that Poppenberg met with
foul play.
The policeman said Gessner saw
Poppenberg driving toward Edmons-
ton road about o'clock Thursday
morning, while Carrigan saw him a
few moments later proceeding along
Edmonston road short distance from
Berwyn Heights. Poppenberg's death
was placed by physicians at 4 am.
Earlier today officials said that while
the certificate of suicide was issued
last night, the case was still open for
investigation"
simultaneously with the announce
ment The Star learned Poppenberg, a
Capital real estate dealer, conferred
with a business associate for some
time Wednesday night, few hours
before he was last seen alive, and
discussed plans for entering the realty
business on a partnership basis next
week.
The new disclosure was made by
Walter S. Cantrell of 184l Irving
street, who declared that he, too, be-
lieves Poppenbere met with foul play,
a theory advanced yesterday by the
dead mans brother-in James D.
Redding of 80 Hamilton street.

Cantrell told The Star that Poppen-

O'Clock Wednesday night and talked
for some time about several deals ne
had recently put through for Cantrell
and the two had conferred further
upon plans for becoming business
partners and opening a downtown

Poppenberg left after making an ap-
pointment to meet Cantrell at the
latter's home the following morning
and 90 with him to call upon several
clients.
Il can hardy conceive that Poppen-
berg would have come here and talked
with me about such matters if he was
contemplating suicide" Cantrell said

BERLIN, September 4.-Months
and even years of inspired reports
that Premier Benito Mussolini was
about to visit Reichsfuehrer Adolf
Hitler finally came true today with
the publication here of an official
announcement that the chief of the
Italian government would come to
Germany some time during the latter

Japan, third member of the triple

Hirohito, it is also announced today.
No date has been set for Prince
Chichibus arrival.
Premier Mussolini's visit probably
will take place between September %

Final plans for the visit depend
partly on developments in the Medi-
terranean and the Far East, one
official spokesman said today. Also,
the exact details will not be given
out in. advance because that would
be regarded as tempting fate. A host
of leading Italian police officials have
been here almost two weeks consider
ing with the Nazi authorities measures
best suited to protect the lives of the
two Fascist leaders, and one of these
measures is to withhold advance in
formation as to just where and when
the two will appear
II Duce'S sojourn in Germany is
intended to provide both a striking
demonstration of the solidarity be-
tween Italy and the Reich and the
opportunity for the two chiefs of
government to discuss personally the
key problems which face them and
the world as a whole. Three subjects
almost certain to be discussed are
Spain and the Mediterranean and the
whole Central European situation and
the Catholic Church question in the
Reich.

had been occupied by problems in
volved in the maintenance of peace.
the stabilization of Eastern Asia and
the mutual prosperity of China and
Japan
But China, he argued, had failed to
understand the true Japanese inten-
tions, and had aggravated the present
situation by indulgence in wanton
provocations.
The Emperor paid a tribute to the
japanese expeditionary forces for
whose financial support the Parlia-
ment had gathered in extraordinary
session. The cabinet yesterday ap-
proved an increase in the war fund
for the Chinese campaigns to about
s737 100000.
The current japanese campaign. the
Emperor said was intended solely to
urge China to reconsider and to es-
tablish peace in East Asia as soon as
possible.
Hopes Empire Is Unitel.
He expressed hope all subjects of the
Japanese empire were solidly united
in devotion to public service so as to
attain the expected objectives.
The Emperor said ka had ordered
the ministers of state to submit sup
Elementary budget bills and other
urgently needed legislation to the
Parliament.
The cabinet yesterday approved a
third supplementary budget for about
S5s2 900, ,oO0-more than half the
total the empire spent on its wars
with China in 1894 and 1895, and with
Russia in 1904 and 1905.
The English translation of the En-
perors address, furnished by the
Domei News Agency, was in indirect
quotation.

Premier Prince Fumimaro Konove

The fact that throne addresses
