Washington, 13 (®—The government reached into the sen- ate today for testimony in its efforts to prove that Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the board of the Stand- ard Oil company of Indlana, per- Jured himself during the long-drawn out investigation of the oil scandals. It placed on the stand as its first major witness Senator Walsh, cf Mantana, who pounded for months at those who appeared before the senate investigating committee, and the Montanan sworc that the oil man last February had testified be- forc the committee that he knew nothing about bonds of the Conti- nental Trading company which fig- ured largely in the casc. Knew Nothing Senator Walsh said he had asked Stewart whether he knew anything about the bonds, and that Stewart replied he had nothing to do with the distribution of any bonds. “The question was asked ‘again” Walsh added, “and he replied tha he knew nothing about the bonds.” "Testimony has shown that a largs Latch of these bonds found thelr way to Albert B. Fall, who leased Teapot Dome to Hurry I, Sinclair. Leo A. Rover, district attorney, inquired whether Stewart had been asked about his knowledge of any recipients of the bonds. Saying that Senator Nye, of North Dakota, had asked such a questior., Walsh added that Stewart had said ‘he had nothing to do with any dis- tribution of the bonds and had not “made a dollar out of them.” Upon repetition of original question, Walsh said -that Stewart had denied any knowledge of how the bonds were distgibuted. Cross-Examined On cross-examination by Frank J. Hogan, defense counsel, Walsh could not recall testimony in the trial of Stewart last spring on contempt charges for refusing to answer ques- tions by the senate committee. When his memory was refreshed by ex- cerpts from his testimony, however, the Montanan sald he was willing to accept the transcript as valid. Rover sought to bring up Stew- art's testimony before the committee in April, when he acknowledged having received $759,000 in bonds from profits made by the Continental Trading company in an oil deal, which he turned over to a trustee. Hogan objected, and this phase was passed over after a conference at the bench. ‘Wants Quick Verdict After Frank J. Hogan, Stewart's attorney had asked for a quick *“not guilty” verdict, District Attorney Rover said his office was endeavor- ing to ascertain tho identity of the Nov.

The Hsin Chi went aground off the island and was surrounded by small pirate cratt. The Hsin Chi carried 900 Chinese and a small number of foreigners, including soveral Anglo-Americans. All foreigners arrived safely at | Bhanghai today. Part of the pas- sengers and crew had been landed by Capt. Tollefsen and were report- ed to have been menaced ashore by hostile islanders, while the pirates attacked the ship from the sea. A Chinese gunboat arrived in time to save the remaining passengers, but the pirates looted the ship be- fore the gunhoat arrived. The pi- rates escaped. When the Chinesc gunboat arriv- ed, she was helpless to save the Hsin Chi *because of a gale and a heavy sea. The Pirates set fire to the looted ship while the gunboat stood by, then made off in their boats. The Hsin Chi was a total Joss. Capt. Tollefsen remained by the wreck. Hong Kong, Nov. 13 (UP)—The British gunboat Serapis reported to- day that she had arrived at Tae Is- land to rescue he stranded steamer Hsin Chi. but found the steamer looted and burned. The pirates who attacked the Hsin Chi escaped in two junks, the Serapis reported. —Mother and Daugher, ¢ Pedestrian Four persons were injured, one critically, in automobile accident in this city last night and today. There were five accidents reported to the police, three of them being caused by the slippery condition of the roadway, Henry T. Stultz, aged 28, colored, of 1 Middlesex avenue, Portland, is in a critical condition at New Brit- ain General hospital, having a prob- able fracture of the skull'and frac- ture of the jaw in addition to other injuries sustained when a coupe which he was driving skidded at the corner of Park and CIliff streets about 1 o'clock this morning, turn- ing around three or four times be- fore going up onto the sidewalk and overturning on its left side. Styltz’s wife, who wvas in the coupe, had a fortunate escape from injury and ran to a nearby house where she telephoned the police. Meanwhile, two men whose identity was not learned, righted the car and the injured man was rescued. Ser- geant T. J. Feeney learned that Mr. and Mrs. Stultz were at a dance in I. 0. O. F. hall, having borrowed |the coupe of their employer, Mrs. William Andres of 1 Chelsea Lane, West Hartford, for the trip. They were driving cast on Park street at the approximate rate of 25 miles an hour and it is believed Stultz, being unfamiliar with the dangerous curve, applied the brakes too forcefully, causing the car te skid. The ‘“‘danger” reflector on curve was smashed by the car as it went onto the sidewalk and the car itself was damaged.

This and the optimistic view ex- pressed by Prof. G. Ponte, director of the Vulcanological institute, that the cruption was entering itd final phase brought joy to the populace of the stricken region. While awaiting the disposition of the relief fund of 1,000,000 lire )about $50,000) voted by the coun- cil of ministers, Signor Fronteri, prefect of the department, and Mon- signor Coli, Bishop of Acirale, to- day consigned a sum of money to Vincenzo Patane, fascist secretary of Nunziata, for the immediate re- lief of the neediest refugees, All Ald Stricken People of all the towns in the neighborhood were vying with one another to bring aid and com- fort to the homeless, Dr. Borgo, provincial secretary of the fascist syndicates, was running a 24-hour service at the headquar- ters in Giarre. There not only food and shelter were available but also a flying squadron of blackshirts was always on duty walting to be sent to any portion of the stricken area to rescue the aged and infirm. The fascists recruited many volunteer workers among the younger refu- gees themselves. The people of the threatened commune of Nunziata were still dis- consolate over the burying by the lava of their cemetery which they shared with the destroyed town of Mascall. They regarded as horrible and profane the flow of lava over the ground where their dead rested. Carry Dead -Baby One pathetic sight was a poor family carrying a baby, who had just died, to Giarre for interment. All were weeping because they were unable to lay the little body in their family plot which was covered by the fiery torrent.

Pleading guilty to the charge of reckless driving on Washington street the night of November 3, Lawrence Unwin, aged 33, of 39 Whiting _strect, was sentenced to sail for 30 days and had the sus. | pension of a previous sentence of 10 days revoked by Judge M. D. Saxe in police court today, on rec- ommendation of Prosccuting Attor- ney J. G. Woods. On the night in question, Unwin was driving a car on Washington street and figured in an accident with a car owned by a New' Haven resident, Mr. Woods eaid. He was arrested on the charge of driving while under the influence of liquor, but there was reason to believe that the shock of the crash affected him in such a way as to give the police the impression that,he was unfit to drive. “It is a border line case,” Mr. Woods sald. and for that rea- son he changed the charge to reck- less driving. for if he had proven the charge of driving while under the infiuence of liquor. a jall sen- tence of six months would have been imposed because Unwin was convicted once before on that charge. Attorney David L. Nalr. repre- senting Unwin, said the recommen- dation was acceptable. As in most cases of this kind, the attorney sald. the innocent wife and children of the offenders will be the sufferers. Unwin s an automobile salesman and is said to have admitted that he had been drinking the night of the accident. | Welbron, Queen I_Vlarie Sees Juliu Maniu, stalled premier, and his cabinet of BATTLESHIP SAVES FIGHT FROM OCEAN Wyoming Radios Rescue Re- port; French Tanker Gets 63 123 ON AMERICAN SHIPPER Additional Reports By Wireless BN P8 Wiivors—Noted Asto { Racerd' A1so Listed on Vestris, Washington, Nov. 13 (CP)—The battleship Wyoming reported to the navy department today that she had picked up eight survivors of the disabled steamer Vestris.
