[« | NEW BRITAIN HERALD NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1929, Stubborn Captain Aboard Wreck | Finally Hoists White Flag Waves Batter Hull Over On Side When JM Climbs Through Spray With Tattered Signal ; for Help, After Clinging to Wreckage Since Sunday—Wind Dropping Cape Yookout, Ore., June 19 UP —Captain Louis Johnson, skipper of the wrecked freighter Laurel, was rescued by a coast guard pow- erboat today. Raises White Flag Astoria, Ore., June 19 (P—A tat- tered square of dirty white cloth fluttering above the wreck of * the freighter Laurel on Peacock 8pit near the mouth of the Columvia river, today convinced rescue work- ers that Capt. Louis Johnson, mas- ter of the ill-fated ship, at last had decided to abandon his broken craft. Captain Johnson has been aboard the after portion of the ship since early Sunday, when it was driven ashore by ‘resistless breakers and broken in two. One member of the crew lost his life and 30 others were taken off :n groups but Captain Johnson sternly refused to leave. Ordered Off Wreck The gritty skipper stuck to hig wreck even after agents of the States Line, owners of the Laurel, had issued orders for him to aban- don ship. Several efforts were made by coast guardsmen and others along the shore to coax Johnson off, but he remained, presumably to prevent anyone clse laying claim to salvage. Shore watchers at dusk last night saw Johnson wearing a life belt, emerged from the wireless shuck above the bridge and work his way through the flying spray to the top of the superstructure, Then a long pole was raised and the breeze un- furled the bit of significant cloth. But this sign of surrender brought the skipper no nearer the shore. Coast guardsmen were powerless to combat the heavy swells which fol- lowed the two day blow—swells that crashed over the rocking portion of the vessel upon which Johnson stood his ground. Efforts to take him oft were abandoned until this mornirg. Convinced Plan Hopeless Coast guardsmen believe that Johnson's experience during the 6¢ mile an h.ur gale Monday night coast, sent the Lgurel on a sharp list to port, but the craft righted and with a moderation of the wind yes- terday it went back on an even keel. The wind late yesterday dropped to 16 miles an hour from the west but the seas remaiued heavy. o LONE EAGLE SENDS CABLE TO AVIATORS (Continued from First Page) salutations.” Another cablegram was received, from Mr. and Mrs. Schreiber, par- ents of the stowaway, Arthur Schrei- ber, the message tending further to mitigate the bad impression whicnh he has created. Thank French For Kindness ‘The cablegram said: “Accept our thapks for kindness and tolerance shown our son by France's three heroes of the air. Extend our ap- preciation to Mr. Lotti, Sr., and Madame Lotti for their parental guidance toward Arthur.” The governmental receptions to- day were for the three aviators alone, the stowaway not ‘heing in- cluded. He was entirely out of the picture. pending his return Thursday to the United States, probably aboard the Leviathan. The aviators were taken by M. Laurent-Eynac, Premier Poincare, who lauded their courage and praised their exploit. Later they went to the senate where they were received and praised. They were to visit President Dou- mergue later this afternoon.

New London May Have Colony of Musicians New London, June 19.—(P—An experiment that may lead to the es- tablishment of a music colony of world famous artists here is to be made this summer according to a article by Julia Rubenstein published in The Day today. At the suggestion of Josef Hof- mann, celebrated pianist and direct- or of the Curtis Institute of Phila- delphia, three members of the facul- ty of that music center, Efrem Zim- balist of the violin department; Har- ry Kaufman, head of the accom- panying department; Harrlet Vanemden, teacher of voice, together with 13 students, will spend this summer as a group in New London, and a continuation of the practical training of the students will be made possible. YOUNGEST CONFEDERATE DIES Atlanta, Ga., June 19 (#—The youngest of the Confederate armies, General David B. Freeman, 77, com- mander of the Georgla division of the United Confederate veteraus, is dead from a heart attack. General Freeman recently had re- turned from the Confederate re- union at Chariotte, N. C., and had been ill for the last three days. He enlisted at the age of 11, Anti-Smith Democrats Nominate College Professor for Governor As Virginia Ticket Is Selected Dr. William Moseley Brown May Run as In- dependent— Resignation of Raskob Is Demanded. Roanoke, Va., June 18 (M—With | nominees in the field for governor and attorney general, and provision made to cooperate with other statcs where similar groups might desire to make the 1928 break with the democratic party permanent, Vir- ginia anti-Smith democrats today looked to the republican convention in Richmond, June 26, for support of their effort to wrest control of the state government from the dem- ocrats, Supported By Republicans Dr. Willlam Moseley Brown, the Washington and Lee professor nom- inated for governor by the anti- 8Smith democrats in state convention here yesterday, was known to have the support of several of the most active leaders in the republican state organization. No mention of expected republican support came from the convention here, but Dr. Brown, in his pre-convention state- ment, had expressed willingness to run as an independent if nominated by both conventions. Dr. Brown and Captain C. C. Berkeley, the nominee for attorney general, expect to conduct a vigor- ous campaign in every section of Virginia. It was stated that the campaign would probably not get actively under way, at least the speaking part of it, until after the August democratic primary. The anti-8mith convention failed to nominate a candidate for lieuten- ant governor, although the executive tive committee was empowered to do so later if deemed advisable. T was taken by many observers as in- dicating that a republican nominee might draw the anti-8mith support. Demand Raskob Resignation In a six thousand word platform demanding the resignation of Chair- man Raskob, of the democratic na- tional committee, and repudiation of atate leaders, the anti-Smith demo-| crats outlined their views at length on state issues. the present election machinery, the “short ballot” amendments and the state’s taxation policy being singled out for especial- ly bitter criticism. The democratic party was charged with designing CONGRESS RECESS | troversial honest elections and perpetuate the party in power, while the “short ballot” amendmepts were denounc- ed a5 a dangerous concentration of power. T0 BEGIN TONIGHT Senate Back August 19—House, Returns on September 23 Washington, June 19 (#—Con- | gress will start a summer recess .0- night preparatory to finishing up the last and perhaps the most con- of the recommendations placed before it by President Hoover —tarift revision. The senate will return August 19 by which time the finance commit- tee promises to have completed its revision of the house tariff bill. The house, with its work all over exc:yt | the negotiation of an adjustment with the senate on the tariff, will re- main in rec2ss until S8eptember 23, when it hopes the senate will be through with the bill. But senate leaders concede that is an optimistic hope. Much Work Done The extra session convened two months agn by Mr. Hoover to re- deem the republican campaign | pledge of farm relief, will take its | breathing spell with three of the| .other four proposals recommended | by relief measure and the combined census and reapportionment legisia- | tion. The other presidential pro- position—suspension of the national origins immigration quota basis— was turned down by the senate. The senate also gave the admin- | istration considerable worry in the farm relief contest, twice insisting over the president’s strong objection | on the export debenture plan as a part of that legislation. Bimitar and more extensive disagreements are expected by many to devolp dur- | ing the tariff discussion. The break between the president and two of his outstanding pre-elcc- | tion campaigners—Senators Borah of Idaho, and Drookhart of Towa—on |the debenture issue has emphasized | the division within the republican the election system to promote dis- majority in the senate. They and all | ’OPPOBr’d | debentures and by lining up with sn | ision opens in December, but. among him enacted into law—a farm | other republicans from the nom.. west agricvltural states veheme l|ll)" the president's views on almost united democratic minority | were abie to win centrol so far as the senate was concerned. Borah Plan Killed This combination held together | again when Senator Borah proposed | to restrict tariff revision in the sen- ate to agricultural and related pro- | ducts instead of permitting the gen- | eral revision of schedules voted by ! the house. That proposal was defeat- | ed by a single vote and the ballot | was taken to presage another close contest after the tariff measure reaches the senate. Efforts will be concentrated when | the senate reassembles on passage of | the tariff bill before the regular ses- | many other obstacles, the debenture dispute will have to be settled again. The plan already has been placed | hefore the senate as an amendment | to the tariff bill by Senator Norris, | republican, Nebraska, and other | ! members are planning similar pro- | posals designed to reduce the oppo- | & sition of the house. ! Wind Up Speeches The closing hours today were ded- | icated by Scnator Watson, of Indi- ana, the republican leader, chiefly to| |consideration of ~pending nomina- | [tions and wind-up speeches. The | nominations included those of Emil | Helburn as collector of customs at | Louisville, Kentucky, and Albert L. Watson, as judge of the middle dis- {trict of Pennsylvania, both of which | have faced opposition. After years of wrangling, the sen- ate finally approved a modification |of its rules yesterday to permit the | consideration of such nominations in lopen session upon a majority vote rather than by the two-thirds ma jority now required for such pro- cedure. It voted. 39 to 34, against | making public roll calls taken in executive session. | | Pacific Fleet Starts For Summer Training | San Pedro. Cal., June 19.—®— The battle fleet, led by the U. 8. 8.
