Four Are Dead,
89 Rescued In
Steamship Fire
Sabotage Is Suspected By
Commander; 2 Inquiries
Are Under Way
Hull To Be Searched
BALTIMORE, July 30.-(P)--Quick
action by a flotilla of rescue craft
held the death list in the City of
Baltimore steamship fire to not more
than four, a check of survivors and
passengers and crew lists established
today.
Of the 93 persons aboard the Bal-
timore-Norfolk boat when the fire
broke out in the hold an hour after
she sailed, 89 were rescued alive. Two
are dead and two are missing. Six
survivors were injured, none seriously.
Shipping officials, the rescue work
completed, centered their attention
on the causes of the blaze which
flared through the wooden super-
structure of the over-night liner.
Almost at once, Capt. Charles O.
Brooks, a veteran of 35 years in the
Norfolk-Baltimore service and com-
mander of the City of Baltimore, said
that the "amazing" spread of the
fire suggested sabotage to him. He
said he had no reason for the suspic-
ion except the speed of the fire in its
spread.
One part of a two-phase inquiry
began during the day, when officials
of the Chesapeake Bay line called the
ship's officers to submit reports on the
fire which broke out Thursday night.
The Federal government will open its
inquiry tomorrow morning, when a
special investigating board, appointed
in Washington, begins a series of
hearings in Baltimore.
Federal steamboat inspectors visit-
ed the wreck today with company of-
ficials. The Federal agency ordered
more than 50 of the officers and crew
to appear at ,the hearing tomorrow.
Both men known dead as a result
of the fire were identified. They
were J. R. Polikoff, a passanger, and
a retired merchant of Aiken, S.C.;
and Charles Whealton, of Crisfield,
Md., a member of the crew. Doctors
here said they drowned when they
leaped from the burning boat.
Still missing are H. Paige, a pas-
senger whose address is not known;
and Cy Haynie, an oiler.
Of the 40 passangers aboard, 38
were saved, and 51 of the crew of 53.
Four members of the crew and two
passengers were burned or injured,
however.
Fireboats which had poured water
into the blistered steel hull all night
turned to pumping it out again. With
hull, now beached in 13 feet of water,
empty, a search will be made for
clews to the start and spread of the
fire.
"I want to tell you," said Miss Edna
Mowery of Norfolk, "the order on that
boat was remarkable. The crew was
marvelous. Twelve minutes after the
fire alarm most of the life boats were
off."

If General Franco, Spanish Insurgent chief, wins the civil war,
there is increased reason to believe he will ask Prince Don Juan, former
King Alfonso's youngest son, to reestablish the Spanish monarchy. Here
are the prince and his wife.

A rolled regimental flag leading them, Japanese troops are shown here after arrival in North China to

official" war.

Thirteen hundred Americans in Peiping found themselves in the center of renewed hostilities between
Japan and China. U.S. Marines guarded four gates of the international settlement behind sandbags, pre-
pared for "emergency" duty if the Japanese attempt to take the city. These Marines on duty in China man
a machine gun.

Chinese soldiers of the 20th Army are deployed along the Yangting
River southwest of Peiping on guard against Japanese attempts to take
over control of the river and the railway line in the distance. When
the fighting comes to close quarters, this sniper will unleash his big
sword.

Despite our in-
