I INCORPORATING THE ROYAL GAZETTE (EstsbHshed 1«28) and THE BERMUDA COLONIST (Established 1866) VOL. 13—NO. 212 HAMILTON, BERMUDA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1930 3d PER COPY—40/- PER ANNUM SANTO DOMINGO DEAD TOTAL FOUR THOUSAND CANADIAN TRAIN PASSENGER TALKS TO 1 LONDON Jack Diamond, New York Gangster, Damns Germany -$~ British Cruiser to Relieve at Santo Domingo- HeirPresumptive for Belgian Throne—Anti- German Demonstrations in Poland— More Moscow Death Sentences— World Control of Raw Steel CANADIAN TRAIN PASSENGER SPEAKS WITH LONDON, ENGLAND OTTAWA, Sept. 6—At Montreal trans-Atlantic telephone conversation from a moving train was again successfully demonstrated when a passenger on a Canadian National Hallways train trevelling at a high rate of speed between Montreal and Toronto spoke with the chairman of the Railway Research Service of tbe British Railways la London, England. The reception was perfect. * # * HEIR-PRESUMPTIVE TO BELGIAN THRONE BORN BRUSSELS, Spet. 7—The Duchess of Brabant, the Crown Princess, gave birth to a son today. The child is heir-presumptive to the throne. The whole country is delighted with the birth of the baby prince, whose arrival was announced by a salute of a hundred and one guns. He will be baptised Bandouin Albert'Axel Marie Qustave. * * * JACK DIAMOND DAMNS GERMANY HAMBURG, Sept. 7—"How do you like Germany?" shouted a reporter as Jack Diamond, the notorious New York gangster, embarked on the freighter Hannover en route for America.- "Germany be damned," exploded the gangster. "I don't like it." He cursed the newspapermen, whom he blamed for his expulsion from Europe. Two detectives quietly followed Diamond aboard, and they intend accompanying him as far as Cuxhaven, to ensure that he really does leave German soil. * * * BERLIN, Sept. 8—Through a Berlin solicitor, Jack Diamond is bringing an action against the Prussian police for damages for the time of his detention, and also the costs of the journey from and to the United States. He is also claiming damages for loss of credit caused by the subsequent publication of the affair in the Press. * * * ANTI-GERMAN DEMONSTRATIONS IN POLAND WARSAW, Sept. 8—Fifty thousand Poles, including representatives of all political parties, demonstrated at Posen, the birthplace of Hindenburg, against Germany's attempts to have the Polish-German frontier revised. A protest was also recorded against the recent speeches of the German Cabinet Ministers, and an effigy of Treviranus was carried swinging to the gallows. A resolution was passed demanding the inter alia fortification of Poland's western frontier, and the boycotting of German good.. Similar demonstrations took place else- <*.heis in Poland. * • • ' WORLD CONTROL OF RAW STEEL COLOGNE, Sept. 7—An attempt to keep the International (Continental) raw steel cartel alive is to be made with the formation of separate cartels for the release of products within the framework of the existing organisation. It is acknowledged that the cartel cannot maintain world control while important groups like Britain and Poland stand outside. It is almost certain therefore that manufacturers of certain products will be given a free hand in the whole question, which will be settled at a meeting at Liege on October 12. mmm ENGUSH SUBJECTS DROWNED IN BELGIUM BRUSSELS, Sept. 8—A motorcar with two English lady occupants, and driven by an English chauffeur, plunged into the Scheldt as it was about to enter the ferry between St. Anne and Antwerp. Both ladies, one of whom has not been identified, were drowned. One of them was Lady Auriol Home, wife of Sir James Allan Home. The chaffeur was rescued. Lady Auriol Home had travelled extensively, and had a reputation for being a writer and alert journalists under the name of Auriol Barr an. She wrote two French novels at the age of ten, but her governess burnt them. At twelve she won a French prize in an essay competition and three years after wrote a dramatic sketch for the League of Mercy, of which she was chairman of the Exexcutive. * * * SALVAGE WORK OH "EGYPT" ABANDONED BREST, Sept. 7—The Artiglio, which was engaged on salvage work on the wreck of the liner Egypt, has abandoned the salvaging owing to the weather -conditions, which prevent diving operations. The Artiglio is returning to Brest, but hopes to resume as soon as the weather permits. * * » Sept. 8—The safe recovered from the captain's cabin has been opened, and in it was the key of the strongroom, in which the gold ingots are stored. The key is useless, however, as the decks must be cut through before the gold can be | reached. The presence of the key j proves that th? liner is certainly the Egyp . The safe also contained a mailbag, much damaged by sea- water, in which are British diplomatic documents dated 1922, the year when the Egypt foundered. Tonight as the weather improved the Artiglio was preparing to return to the scene of the wrock. * * * ARCTIC TRAGEDY REVELATIONS STOCKHOLM, Sept. 7—The whaler Isjobern, which has been dispatched to White Island with journalists'aboard, reports that it has located the remains of the camp of Andree and his two companions, who perished in an Antarctic baloon flight thirty years ago. They found parts of a human skeleton, which are presumably the remains of Fraenkel, the third member of the expedition. A number of scientific instruments, weapons, and Fraenkel's note-book were also found. The camp was in excellent order. The death of the (CmUmkJ m Page S) "TERRIBLE SUFFERING IN [ REPUBLIC" Relief Work Very Difficult SANTO DOMINGO, Dominca Republic, Sept. 7:—With the dead totalling around 4,000, many of them burned or buried without the benefit of clergy, and with the sick and injured not counted, four needs were paramount tonight. Last Wednesday's fearful hurricane has created havoc impossible to describe, and the four urgent needs of the RepubUc at the moment include the repair of the acqueduct so that the city's water supply and sanitary services may be fully operative, as the city has been virtually without water since the hurricane. The rapi ddischarge of relief supplies is another urgent necessity. There are many ships now in the Harbour, but they have been unable to approach closely because of the after-effects of the hurricane. SuppUes therefore are being laboriously discharged in small launches from the ships, and on land there is the greatest difficulty in traveUing, as the debris-filled and almost obliterated roads are all but impassable. The cleaning of the streets is another necessity. At present the streets are filled with hurricane debris, and present a most confused scene. Another urgent need is the removing of aU injured people to hospitals, as they require adequate medical attention. The hospitals are full, and great difficulty is being experienced. Definite progress in all these things however has been made today, the various agencies C-king in. coordination. Much yet remains to be accompUshed. oo BERMUDA YACHTS ff TRIUMPH Americans Beaten in Six Metre Races LARCHMONT, Sept. 7—The Bermuda Yacht Olub won a special two-race six metre yacht team contest here today with the United States. The Bermuda team by consistent racing outscored the Americans by 61 points to 4 in the morning, and in the afternoon race they trailed after the Americans by 5i points to 5. The Bermuda Club therefore won the event by two points. 00—— TRAIN DERAILED IN INDIA BRITAIN'S PALESTINE MANDATE League Council Adopts Commission Report GENEVA, Sept. 8:—The CouncU of the League of Nations at their first meeting here received the report of the Permanent Mandates Commission on the disorders in Palestine, which it was expected would give rise to much discussion. Messieur Procope, of Finland, presenting the report, emphasised that the report must not be regarded as an attempt to supplant the Mandatory Power in the exercise of its duties. Evon a power so experienced as Britain in governing peoples diverse in characteristics was bound to be embarrassed by the special difficulties connected with the Palestine mandate. Britain could only be reproached if she did not attempt to promote a Jewish national home, or develop existing institutions in Palestine. It was clear from past results that Britain's policy did not deserve of such reproach. Mr. Arthur Henderson, Secretary for the Dominions and Colonies, in replying said the British Government noted with appreciation the passages indicating the difficulties in governing Palestine. The British Government was glad that Messieur Procope shared the Mandates Commissions's view that the British statement with regard to the suspension of Jewish immigration permits should allay ttjeanxiety of Jewish communities. T_r _Wtish Government would shortly issue a statement regarding the fuigtre poUcy to be followed in Palestine. The 'Government *e-i cognised that the promotion of goodwill between the Arabs and the Jews was indispensable to the peace and prosperity of the country. The Council unanimously adopted Messieur Procope's report after several members had expressed general confidence in the Mandatory Power. BERMUDA RAILWAY | ARGENTINE GOVERNMENT -oo- THE AMERICA'S CUP CONTEST Comparison of Competing Craft Motilal Nehru Released From Gaol POONA, Sept. 8:—In the course of the peace negotiations, it is now stated, Lord Irwin, the Viceroy, intimated that if the question of the secession of India was raised, the Indian Government would be unable to treat it as an open question. » * » CALCUTTA, Sept. 7:—A maU train from Calcutta to Daeca was deraUed between Banpur and Dar- sana, seventy miles from Calcutta. Four were kUled and 42 injured. The disaster was due to tho removal of fish-plate bolts connecting the ends of the rails. * * * BOMBAY, Sept. 7:—Twenty persons were injured in Hindu-Moslem rioting in the Dharavi suburb. The trouble arose from a Hindu procession playing music in the vicinity of the Moslem mosque. * * * ALLEHABAD, Sept. 8:—Motilal Nehru has been released from gaol on account of the' state of his health. * * * SIMLA, India, Sept. 7:—While India digested the demands of Mahatma Gandhi for peace and the probable consequences of their rejection by the Viceroy Lord Irwin, serious menace was renewed again yesterday on the northwest front- trull—I M fag* 2) NEW YORK, Sept. 7:—It has been ten years since Sir Thomas Lipton has entered a yacht in competition for The America's Cup and now at 80 the wealthy sportsman is preparing for what he has said wiU be his last attempt. The races scheduled to begin on Saturday between the Shamrock V and the Enterprise will be saUed under differ ent conditions than ever before in international competition. The match will be for four out of seven races instead of three out of five, and thus should provide a longer series and a fairer test. The course is to be laid off Newport, R.I., where a good breeze can be expectedi Instead of off Sandy Hood, where matches previously Haw been held. Comparatively tew persona win be able to watoh tbe rates at Newport but tha very absence of excursion boats wlD be of benefit to the competition. Host important of the new conditions are the rules under which tite boats have been built. Lipton's Boyal Ulster Yacht Club and the New York Yacht Club agreed to feuUd according to the maximum specifications of the class J universal rule. This means that neither boat wiU be granted any time handicap, and will make for more exciting races. Sir Thomas has intimated that his Shamrock will be most efficient in Ught weather. She is shorter overall than any ef the American | candidates, though slightly longer on the waterline than the Enterprise, smallest of the craft built for the defense. She is heavier than tho Enterprise too, weighing 135 tons to the others 128. On the other hand Shamrock has a sharp prow to cut the ocean swells off Newport and a hull that is rounded enough to indicate that she can ride on a stiff breeze. Her draft is about the equal of the American boats. COMPANY English Comment on Finances The fate of the Bermuda Railway has been a topic for many discussions, and an EngUsh comment on the financial aspect of the question is therefore interesting. The article bears out fears expressed many times in Bermuda that the Oompany was over-capitalised,|and comments that "under the circumstances it is difficult to see how this raUway project can possibly succeed in fulfilling its earUer expectations." The article, which is taken from "Truth," contains one comment which is worth noting. The comment is "I recorded some time ago information given to me by a correspondent resident in the Island that the Act (prohibiting motors) for all practical purposes was a dead letter, and that motoring had become very popular." The last few words are the significant ones. The article in "Truth" is an follows:— BERMUDA TRACTION EXCESS OUTLAY In July, 1928, when Bermuda Traction, Ltd., made a pubUc issue of £380,000 of 7 per cent, participating debenture stock at par, the prospectus stated that the estimated cost of the raUway would not exceed £259,523. Unfortunately for the company, the Bermuda landowners, when they became aware that a railway was going to be built, put up the prices of their land. The result has been that the company has been obliged to increase its borrowing powers. It is now proposed to extend the borrowing powers lon this issue of debenture stock Arom £700,000 to £850,000, and on the 7 per cent. prior lien debentures from £100,000 to £420,000. The prospectus gave a net revenue estimate of £66,702, which, it is stated, would provide ample margin for the 7 per cent, interest on the participating debenture stock and 2 per cent, additional rights. The price of this stock has gone down in proportion to the rise in cost of the railway construction, ; the last dealings being recorded around 25, as compared with an issue price of 100. The prospectus gave prominence to the prohibition of motoring in the Bermudas by an Act passed in 1908, but I recorded some time ago information given to me by a correspondent resident in the Island that the Act for aU practical purposes was treated as a dead letter, and that motoring had become very popular. In the circumstances it is difficult to see how this railway project can possibly succeed in fulfilling its earlier expectations. -00—— AIRSHIPS OF THE FUTURE UNSEATED Army and Navy Rebel Under Uribnru BUBAOS AIRES, Sept. 7:—With the HipoUto-Irigoyen Government unseated by an army and navy rebelUon last night, and the former President held a prisoner, the movement spread today to a number of other provinces in the RepubUc, Troops of the revolutionary Junta took contro, of Santa Fe and Rosario, the two principal cities of Santa Fe Province, the 12th. Infantry holding Santa Fe and the llth occupying Rosario. Reports from the city of Santiago in the province of Del Estero say that when news of the revolution in Buenos Aires was received 2,000 persons paraded the streets and shouted for the new government. Police attempted to disperse them but afterwards joined the manifestation. Other demonstrations which brought the Communities over to the side of the Junta were held in the cities of La Plata where Iri- goyen is held a prisoner in the barracks of the 7th Infantry. The Irigoyen poUcy of Federal intervention in Provincial affairs is considered one of the things that brought about his downfall. Meanwhile the capital is under a strict martial regime with the leadet of the revolt, General Jose Evaristo Urtburu as Provisional President with a civUian Cabinet. The ex- President is both a patient and a prisoner at La Plata. He is suffering from pneumonia aggravated by the excitement and discouragement which have come to him in the last few days and has a high temperature. Two physicians were at his bedside all last night under orders from the new Government to give aU possible medical care. He was assured by Colonel Glorddano, in charge of of the Provincial troops, that he would be weU cared for and guarded against violence. The Provincial Cabinet was organised last nighft and one of its first acts was dissolution of the Congress and proclamation of martial law. Today it appointed army and navy officers to govern the various provinces pending eventual return of the country to civilian government. Total casualties during the disorders accompanying the overthrow of the Irigoyen Government are placed by hosiptal authorities as 15 dead 106 wounded. EarUer reports of 1,000 dead and wounded were said to be exaggeration. It is now generaUy stated in aU quarters that the total Ust of those killed will number less than a score. Designer of R101 Makes Prophecy LONDON, Sept. 8:—CoL V. C. Richmond, the designer of the airship R101, in an address to the engineering section of the British Association, which is meeting at Bristol, said that before the shape of the R101 was decided special studies of fast-swimming fishes were made. As a result there was now a possibility that airships of the future would not merely copy the shape of fish, but their skins would bear something in the nature of scales, or feathers, thus providing special ducts through which air entering the nose of the ship might escape. The trend of development at present indicated that the size of airships would increase to twice the present capacity, within a generation, but a larger number of smaller ones as distinct from a smaUer number of large ones might be more beneficial from the economic standpoint. s Col. Richmond concluded that there was no reason why airships, filled with helium, driven by heavy oil engines, and shatted with metal, should not become the safest form of transport yet devised. PEtRSONAL The Bermuda brought in 589 passengers yesterday morning, and it was a pleasure to see Captain H. Jeffries-Davis back from his vacation in England and in command of the ship. * * * Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Blackiston and Mrs. H. O. Blackiston, Jr. were among yesterday's passongars arriving by the Bermuda. They will spend the w.ek in HamUton and Tucker's Town. * * • Mrs. Otis and h« two children returned yesterday after a vacation spent in the States. « * * Mr. R. J. WUliams of th- Furness-Bermuda local offlce, returned yesterday from a vacation spent in northern Pennsylvania. * * * Miss RosaUe and Miss Barbara HolUs axe returning to Bethlehem, Pa. for the winter term of music after spending most of the summer at home. Miss Mary HoUis is accompanying her sister and will also enter school. * * « Miss Anne McArdle, Phila., Pa., who has been visiting her sister Mrs Edwin Tudwick of Paget, leaves this morning on the M.s. Bermuda. * * * Miss Mary Earp is returning to her home in Pennsylvania this morning. She has been spending a part of the summer in Bermuda following her recent trip to England. 0 Jj (€m_m_ m Hf* S) Atwater Kent Tone Control %Uf_*i EHfr Tn W\D_QNKL ____>:___£ ^_______*______i*__ _S_l_:__-___i._»_6_sf:„ :" •'____*_■ ■ -i . t, __£ i__.___l?*__2!S-___

The price of this stock has gone down in proportion to the rise in cost of the railway construction, ; the last dealings being recorded around 25, as compared with an issue price of 100. The prospectus gave prominence to the prohibition of motoring in the Bermudas by an Act passed in 1908, but I recorded some time ago information given to me by a correspondent resident in the Island that the Act for aU practical purposes was treated as a dead letter, and that motoring had become very popular. In the circumstances it is difficult to see how this railway project can possibly succeed in fulfilling its earlier expectations. -00—— AIRSHIPS OF THE FUTURE UNSEATED Army and Navy Rebel Under Uribnru BUBAOS AIRES, Sept. 7:—With the HipoUto-Irigoyen Government unseated by an army and navy rebelUon last night, and the former President held a prisoner, the movement spread today to a number of other provinces in the RepubUc, Troops of the revolutionary Junta took contro, of Santa Fe and Rosario, the two principal cities of Santa Fe Province, the 12th. Infantry holding Santa Fe and the llth occupying Rosario. Reports from the city of Santiago in the province of Del Estero say that when news of the revolution in Buenos Aires was received 2,000 persons paraded the streets and shouted for the new government. Police attempted to disperse them but afterwards joined the manifestation. Other demonstrations which brought the Communities over to the side of the Junta were held in the cities of La Plata where Iri- goyen is held a prisoner in the barracks of the 7th Infantry. The Irigoyen poUcy of Federal intervention in Provincial affairs is considered one of the things that brought about his downfall. Meanwhile the capital is under a strict martial regime with the leadet of the revolt, General Jose Evaristo Urtburu as Provisional President with a civUian Cabinet. The ex- President is both a patient and a prisoner at La Plata. He is suffering from pneumonia aggravated by the excitement and discouragement which have come to him in the last few days and has a high temperature. Two physicians were at his bedside all last night under orders from the new Government to give aU possible medical care. He was assured by Colonel Glorddano, in charge of of the Provincial troops, that he would be weU cared for and guarded against violence. The Provincial Cabinet was organised last nighft and one of its first acts was dissolution of the Congress and proclamation of martial law. Today it appointed army and navy officers to govern the various provinces pending eventual return of the country to civilian government. Total casualties during the disorders accompanying the overthrow of the Irigoyen Government are placed by hosiptal authorities as 15 dead 106 wounded. EarUer reports of 1,000 dead and wounded were said to be exaggeration. It is now generaUy stated in aU quarters that the total Ust of those killed will number less than a score. Designer of R101 Makes Prophecy LONDON, Sept. 8:—CoL V. C. Richmond, the designer of the airship R101, in an address to the engineering section of the British Association, which is meeting at Bristol, said that before the shape of the R101 was decided special studies of fast-swimming fishes were made. As a result there was now a possibility that airships of the future would not merely copy the shape of fish, but their skins would bear something in the nature of scales, or feathers, thus providing special ducts through which air entering the nose of the ship might escape. The trend of development at present indicated that the size of airships would increase to twice the present capacity, within a generation, but a larger number of smaller ones as distinct from a smaUer number of large ones might be more beneficial from the economic standpoint. s Col. Richmond concluded that there was no reason why airships, filled with helium, driven by heavy oil engines, and shatted with metal, should not become the safest form of transport yet devised.
