Columbus Crew Fails
To Sail Because of
British Warships
3 Vessels Reported
Outside Golden Gate
Ready to Seize Nazis
By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 18.—Re
ports that three British Warships
were lurking outside the Golden
Gate apparently caused cancella
tion of plans for 513 Nazi sailors
to sail from San Francisco today
for Germany via the Orient.
Taken to Immigration Station.
The Germans, greater portion of
the crew of the Nazi , liner Colum
bus, which was scuttled in the At
lantic last month to avoid capture,
arrived in two special trains at
transbay Oakland early today.
Heavily guarded by Federal officers
and police, they were taken to the
Government immigration station on
Angel Island on San Francisco Bay.
It was arranged originally that
the Nazis should leave at noon to
day on the N. Y. K. liner Tatuta
Maru for Japan, from where they
would go to Siberia and eventually
to Germany. N. Y. K. officials,
however, said the ship would sail
without the Germans.
Immigration Commissioner J« J.
McGrath, meantime, disclosed that
Angel Island quarters have been
prepared for the men.'
• The change in plan was attributed
to water front reports that two Aus
tralian cruisers and a Canadian
gunboat were cruising 100 miles
outside San Francisco, ready to re
move the Nazis from any ship on
which they might sail.
Capt. Fritz Wiedemann, Nazi
consul general here and commander
of the company in which Adolf Hit
ler fought in the World War, joined
his countrymen yesterday at Sparks,
Nev., a railroad center adjacent to
Reno.
Jealousy Over Son Blamed
For Slaying by Father*
By the AuocUted Preu.
LANSDALE, Pa.. Jan. 18.—Police
Chief Samuel Wofflndin said today
that jealousy over his wife's devo
tion to their infant son apparently
was responsible for Benjamin Mc
Cabe's admitted slaying of the child
on New Year Day.
McCabe, lodged in jail after
pleading guilty to a murder charge,
retained the composure he displayed
as he told police he smothered the
51-day-old boy. “I was jealous of
my wife and the affection she
showed the baby,” he was quoted.
The baldish young W. P. A.
worker told guards at the Norris
town County prison he was "glad
that’s off my mind.”
"I murdered the baby by putting
a pillow over his mouth,” Wifllndin
quoted McCabe as saying.

Dr. Carrel's Chicken Heart
Still Alive After 28 Years
By the Auoclsted Pres*.
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—A segment
of chicken heart which Dr. A. Alexis
Carrel hopes to make immortal ob
served its 28th birthday yesterday
in a test tube in the Rockefeller In
stitute of Medical Research.
The “perpetual” heart, a scientific
achievement because it has almost
tripled the life expectancy of the
average chicken’s ticker, has been
kept alive by Dr. Carrel at the in
stitute since January 17, 1912.
A report that the piece of heart
had “died” brought an indignant
denial from Waldo Flinn, associate
business manager of the institute.
“It’s doing as well as ever,” he
said, adding that the experiment was
being continued by associates of Dr.
Carrel, now in France.
Physiologists believe the heart
fragment, which doubles in size
every 48 hours, may live forever if
adequately nourished.
Dr. Carrel began the experiment
to demonstrate that body tissue can
be insured against the ravages of
time by proper circulation. Because
of its swift growth the heart frag
ment must be trimmed every few
days to keep from outgrowing its
glass house.
