Debris Found,
Ship With 81
Feared Lost
Sea Searched for
Lifeboots by
Rescue Vessels
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated tTeSS.
CHATHAM, Mass, Feb. 9.-Ap-
parently convinced the British
freighter Maria de Larrinaga had
foundered, rescue vessels today
searched the stormy North Atlantic
for lifeboats in the hope Of finding
her crew of 81 alive.
Late messages received by the
radiomarine station here advised
that two of the rescue ships were
steaming through wreckage-streWn
waters, about 1000 miles east Of New
York, from which position the De
Larrinaga yesterday reported she
was sinking
The Cunard- White Star liner
Aurania, after describing wreckage
added she still had hope we will
sight lifeboats"
The Holland American liner Veen-
dam reported that she had come
upon floating ladders and table
top, but had seen no boats.
Scanmail Aids Search.
Both messages were relayed to
the radio-marine station by the
American steamer Scanmail, which
was participating in the search.
The master of the steamship Clin-
tonia next reported she had reached
the spot, but had caught no sign
of steamer or wreckage."
A previous message from the Au-
rania read:
Sighted wreckage, hatch covers
and oars Now steering course 100;
speed, 9 knots"
The vessel gave the position as
latitude 1927 north and longitude
45.49 west In sending her distress
call the freighter yesterday gave
her position as 42.l5 north, 1850
west, about 1900 miles east of New
York
officials at the station here said
That seems to indicate the freighter
has gone down.
Meanwhile, in midforenoon a
telegraph company advised persons
attempting to reach the De Lar
rinaga ship unanswers calls. Will
continue calling and deliver soon
as possible"
Radio Silent Is Hours.
Previously the Holland American
vessel Veendam reported it had
reached the scene but could find
no trace of the freighter or its
crew of 81. The De Larrinaga S
radio has been silent almost Is
hours since reporting its No. l bulk
head which had been stove in, was
holding and the sea decreasing.
1t appeared from the Aurania S
message that it had begun cruising
the vicinity, possibly accounting for
the difference of approximately 70
miles between the position reported
in its message and that given in
distress calls from the freighter
Mariners ashore also pointed out
that thick weather might have made
observations inaccurate.
Also at the scene was the Ameri-
can Scantic liner Scanmail, which
reported northwest gale and
mountainous seas in the vicinity
That vessel said it was showing and
visibility was cut to half mile.

Deputy United States Marshal
John P. Upperman, implicated with
Emmett Warning in an alleged plot
to fix jurors in both the number
magnates' fraud trials, was reported
today to have signed a complete
confession
United States Attorney David A.
Pine would not confirm this report.
He would say only that Upperman
and several key Government wit
nesses in the ury-tampering con-
tempt case were held in secret
custody "at their own requests" and
for their protection.
From another source in close
touch with the investigation, how
ever. it was learned that Upperman
had talked plenty" and that GER
tain of the charges in the informa-
tions filed yesterday were based on
statements by the suspended court
officer who had charge of the juries
at both the income tax trials.
Upperman is expected to be a
Government witness when the con-
tempt citations against him and
Emmitt Warning are heard by
Justice Bolitha j. Laws in District
Court Monday
Confers With Attorneys.
The head man of the Warning
clan and executive director of the
numbers business, which admitted
ly had a gross play of 100000 in
year, is out on $50,000 bond and
was reported in conference with his
attorneys today.
Apparent confirmation of the re-
ports that Upperman had confessed
and was ready to testify for the
Government was found in the fact
that he was willing to be hidden
out and had made no effort to pro-
duce bond. He had not employed
counsel or made any effort to pre-
pare a defense, it was reported.
The district attorneys Office still
hummed with excitement. A whole
section of the Office, Immediately
off Mr.. Pines Office was guarded
by attendants with no one admitted
without appointment.
The investigation into all phases
of the alleged jury fixing plot was
being pressed by Mr.. Pine and his
staff and by detectives from the
Police Department.
Mr.. Pine denied that Upperman
or any of the witnesses were being
deprived of their constitutional
rights. When questioned concerning
reports that they were hidden out, +"
the prosecutor said:
These men are under guard at
their own request. While we are
not disclosing where they are stay
ing, they are not held incommuni-
cado. They have seen members of

Plans for development of third
site for public low-rent housing in
the District were expedited today
by the announcement that options
had been obtained on large pro-
portion of a square containing Navy
place Sc, one of the largest in
habited alleys in the city.
The Alley Dwelling Authority
which paid $l9l $3.50 for the area un-
der option, is instituting condemna-
tion proceedings to acquire the re-
mainder of the square, between G.
and I streets, Sixth and Seventh
streets. Navy place is designed for
white occupancy and plans call for
the construction of approximately
246 dwelling units for families whose
incomes are below 81 100 annually.
Executive Officer John Ihlder of
the A. D. A., who is in charge of the
low-rent housing projects, said the
options obtained so far in connection
with this third site are far below the
130 per cent of assessed value per-
mitted by the Alley Dwelling Act. 1t

Practically All of Square.
The site will include practica1lv all
the square except the G street
frontage. The frontage is not ac-
tually required under plans drawn
up for the project.
