22 FEARED LOST ON MISSING SHIP Hopes Fade as Traces of Cargo Are Discovered. Blast Held Likely. By the Associated Press. TAMPA, Fla., July 22—Hope of finding alive the 22 persons aboard the British motorship Nunoca faded today at the discovery of traces of a ship's cargo nearly 100 miles from the miss- ing vessel's course. Coast Guardsmen found a charred piece of timber fastened to an oil drum which, they said, strengthened the belief the Nunoca was shattered by an explosion. The ship has not been heard from since she set out July 4 from Grand Cayman Island for Tampa under com- mand of Capt. Moses I. Kirkconnell. Capt. Cecil M. Gabbett, divisional Coast Guard commander directing an extensive hunt for the 110-foot craft, said he was attempting to learn whether the drum was one of 10 or 12 sighted by a schooner, Angregra, near ! the Dry Tortugas July 13. The drum was marked “Texas Com- pany.” Capt. Gabbett said he was informed by the American consul at Georgetown, Grand Cayman, the Nunoca loaded 60 Texas Oil Co. con- tainers in its hold before leaving. The passengers aboard were: Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Warren c:ll ‘Tampa. Lee and John Borden, jr., of Tampa. | Harold Eden of Tampa. | Mrs. Lee Hunter and her infant| daughter, Katherine, of Mobile, Ala. Mr. and Mrs. Durbin Tibbetts of Jacksonville. Mrs. Lorraine Henning and her 6- year-old son, Loxley, of Miami. Ray Foster of Georgetown, Grand Cayman Island. Byron Bush of Georgetown.

Ry the Associated Press. SAN DIEGO, Calif,, July 22.—Rear Admiral Albert Mertz, 75, U. 8, N, retired, leading figure in American naval history for half a century, died here last night after a week’s illness. He received his early sea training on the frigate Constitution. Under his command six vessels of the Departments of Commerce and Labor sailed from New York City to San Francisco via the Stralts of Magellan in 124 days, September 21, 1908, to January 24, 1909. Rear Admiral Mertz was retired in 1913, after 41 years of service, which included campaigning in Cuba and the Philippine Islands during the Spanish American War. He was born in Dodge County, is., March 26, 1861, and was grad- uated from the Naval Academy in 1872. He was promoted through the various grades to captain in 1906, and was made a rear admiral October 20, 1910. During the Cuban campaign Admiral Mertz served on the monitor CHARLES GUYON, Fifty-four-year-old Eastern High School foot ball coach, photographed this morning at his home, 1434 Pennsyl- vania avenue southeast, where he was recuperating from an attack of acute indigestion that virtually stopped all Glacier in the Philippines. Before his retirement Admiral | Mertz saw a naval service again in | the Philippines and was governor of | | the Naval Home at Philadelphia when | | he was retired May 16, 1913. For many years he made his home at Beaver Dam, Wis.

Although the Soli succeeded in ex- tinguishing the flames yesterday, re- ports reaching here today indicated all but the hull of the distressed craft was destroyed. Second Officer Arne Uglaberg, the only one aboard who was injured, was reported recovering satisfactorily. All other members of the crew and all! passengers escaped unhurt. Passengers and crew members planned to take the first available boat from Zamboanga to Manila.

I. O. unions now numbers about 1,250,000, or more bership of about 3,100,000. In the event the Federation Council decides to hold the suspension decision in abeyance until the November conven- tion in Tampa, it undoubtly would prevent the actual split since a two- thirds vote of the convention is necessary for expulsion of a union. If the council this Summer success- fully exercises what it considers to be its powers of suspension, however, it might mean that the C. 1. O. dele- gates would be unable to enter the convention, thereby leaving the meet- ing in full control of the craft unionists. Letter Is Cited.
