FOUR ESCAPE IN
BATTLEflH SEA
Italian Steamer Aground on
Sicilian Rocks
Penzance. Eng., Oct. :S P
il.-rotc efforts by llfesavers after a
perilous all-night vigil to rescue
lven seamen left clinging to the
rigging of the Italian steamer l;-tbo
which went ashore on the Srilly Is
lands yesterday, ivere only partially
successful, four of the men being
aved at dawn.
These four had Jumped Into the
mrhulent waters just as soon as
daylight broke and were picked up
! a lifeboat which had l 'ii stand
nt by all nieht 'vaittntr for daylight
;i'id for an opportunity to approach
he vessel in a raging sea.
One man was found dead of ex-
osure when the rescue boat was
ble to reach the s:randed ship,
which still rlunsr to the jagged rocks
'ipon which she had foundered.
There was no 'race of the six other
men and It Is feared that trusting
'hemselves vainly to pieces of
wreckage during the night, they
were swallowed up by the sea.
The remainder of the crew land
ed in a lifeboat last night. There
were J7 in the boat of the total
rew of 3 8.
The Isabo sail' 1 from Montreal
for Hamburg on Oct. 14.
The ship went ashore on Scllly
lloel! off the coast here. Heavy
waves started Immediately to smash
the Isabo. Life savers during the
night saw men clinging to the rlg
sing. and went to their rescue. Their
work was hazardous and difficult
owing to fog. rain, high waves and
floating WTeckaee. that detached it
elf from the ship.
After hours of buffeting by the
sas, the Isabo broke In half this
morning, and the sea soon was cov
ered with floating grain and wreck
age. Shortly after daybreak several of
the 11 men who remained aboard
jumped into the water.
One swam ashore, three others
were rescued by a lifeboat. The
boat, after landing them, returned
to th. wreck and found one mil
dead In the crow's nest. Fin still
were missing.
CHARGES CORRUPTION
Counselor of Anti-Saloon League Says '
Secretary of "Damp'' Temperance j
Society on Payroll of Wet Boosters j
New York, Oct. 2S. Wi Nation- :
wide survey conducted by the Na-j
lional Episcopal church temperance j
society in which 1032 Episcopal i
clergymen approved modification of I
'he Volstead act was regarded todny
by Orviile S. Poland, counselor to I
the Ami-Saloon League, as the work i
ot an organization holding only "a
parasitic connection with" the Epis- :
copal church and whose secretary j
apparently was in the pay of the
wet cause. J
"If the church temperance society !
which has published a statement
purporting to show that American
elergvmen are two to one against
prohibition had any official connec
tion with the Episcopal church I
should refuse to comment, upon
their statement," Poland said.
He declared TV. James Empring
ham, who as national secretary of
the society took a prohibition poll
about two years ago, apparently was
on the payroll of the "association
against the ISth amendment."
Mr. Emprlngham said he was not I
and never had been on the payroll
of the association named but wished
he was as he could use the money."

SEE FUTURE FOR
GMYULERUBBER
May Be Reliel From Present
British Monopoly
New York, Oct. 2S (UP) American-grown
rubber has appeared as
a new industry in ths country and
a possible means of relief from the
British rubber monopoly.
Rubber experts today discussed
the report of the United States bu
reau of standards that Guayule rub
ber appeared comparable to the
plantation tree rubber in many re
spects, on the basis of tests in
Washington.
Experimentation with the so-called
"new" rubber is being made in
many centers. Thomas A. Edison
was reported to be making a study
of the Guayule rubber. The gov
ernment is gathering data on the
plant. And two experiment stations
one at Tifton. Ga.. and another
in the Salt River Valley In Arizona
are maintained by the Continental !
Rubber company, one of the pion-
eers in the exploitation of Guayule j
rubber. ' i
If these experiments are success- j
ful, the southern part of the United
States may become one of the chief '
producing areas for the world's sup- I
ply of the new rubber. j
"The Guayule plant, which is i
really a shrub, not only withstands j
frost but requires It," George H. j
Garnahan. president of the Conti-1
nental Rubber company, told the
United Press. I
Heretofore, almost all of the raw
rubber has been obtained from plan
tation trees which require tropical j
climates. I
Guayule rubber is used by several :
manufacturers today. I
"We have been using small quan- !
titles of Guayule rubber for several
months." said officials of the Nor-
walk Tire company at Norwork,
Conn.
"It actually cannot be considered
a substitute for rubber. It really is
just another kind of rubber which,
for some uses, is better than ordi
nary rubber, and for other uses, is
not so good. We use it for the
frictioning of fabric and in other
cases where a suit rubber is desir
able." Prices on the New York market
showed that the current quotations
of Guayule rubber were seven cents
cheaper than plantation tree rub
ber. Experts here speculated whether
the Edison laboratories were not
now working on some process of re
fining or perfecting the Guayule rub
ber. They expected that Henry
Ford might ohiain the latest infor
mation on Guayule rubber, in view
of recently purchased plantation in
Brazil. I
Captain Marshall Field Brazilian ex
pedition, has returned home with
further specimens of mammals,
birds and reptiles for the field mu
seum. For more than a year Mr. Sanborn
carried on the collection of South
American species, assisted only by
two native Brazilian hunters and a
camp cook. Prominent in his col
lection are specimens for four habi
tat groups to be installed in the mu
seum's hall of American mammals.
There are gtiar.aeo.a wild species of
Llama known as the "South Ameri
can camel", swamp deer, tapirs, and
giant ant-eaters. Several Brazilian
red wolves, a rare long-legged spe
i ies, also were bagged.

Two Men, Occupants of Car, nurt
Girl's Body Submersed In Water
Deatli Instantaneous
Blddeford, Me., Oct. 28 (UP) A
young woman was killed and two
men were injured early today when
I he automobile in which they were
riding ran off a bridge and landed
on four feet of water near Kennc
btink, a few miles from here.
Miss Katherine Connolly of 70
Sheridan street, Fortlid, lost her
life in the accident.
George C. Twitchell of 12 Pills
bury street. South Portland, and Le
roy W. Higgins of 10 Alfred street,
South Portland, were brought to
Webber hospital here.
Hospital authorities reported that
Higgins was not seriously hurt and
would be able to leave for home to
day. Twitchell was more severely
injured, it was said, and would re
main, under treatment at the hos
pital. '
Miss Connolly's body was found
in the water, she having been
hurled from the machine as it
plunged from the bridge. The fact
that no water was found in her
lungs convinced Medical Examiner
David Dorloff that the young wom
an had been killed instantly.
Investigation indicated that Twit
chell, driver of the car, had been
blinded by the headlights of anoth-r-
machine as he neared the bridge
in the early-morning darkness.
