DENNIS CI“lAELOTI`E'l‘0WN ;iiuis. irucnsar. ni-:Nruassi-:Y Mrs, Michael Hennessey, born in suirrrrrcrvilie ninety years ago and for oier seventy years a resident of climloircioivn, is being mourned by r large and sympathetic circle of lriciius. Having received every spir- ,wrl aid and surroimded by her family and her pastor, reciting the pmyei~s for the dying, she calmly ,nd peacefully passed away at her ironic, 97 Kent St., on Monday, Sept- enibvr' 3. Her husband, outstanding as a pioneer in the Undertaking business in Charlottetown, predeceased her eighteen years ago, leaving five sons and four daughters. Seven of them survive their parents: Mrs. (Dr.) J. T, collins and Miss Anastasia, Ver- iion River, Mrs. J. B. Connolly, Mrs. puter Doyle, James, Andrew, and Frank, of this City. Although hav- ing passed the allotted span of life, sire was wonderfully smart for her 5-mg, until about two years ago nriturc gave signs of a general breas don-rr, no doubt hastened by the sad intelligence of the sudden death of lrer son, sir George C. 1-Ieunessey of Portland, Oregon. The late Mrs. Hennessey leaves as ¢ ircriiagc to her host of friends, the grrnrrri of ri simple life richly endow- cd ri-irii christian virtues. She will be E,-,.,,¢,1y missed and long remem- bered for~ the estlmable qualities that a.~rrdcarcd her to the many who knew her ur the social and business life. Her rrrntcinnl affection, charity, hon- esty and appreciation of her holy faith will always stand out as bea- cons in the memory of those associ- rircd with her. The poor also and those in trouble will not soon forget hor iirrlniling generosity and ready svnipailry. The large number of lirss cards received, and the many beautiful floral tributes that covered her casket spoke a silent message of ve. lol-ier funeral, which was one of the largest seen in the city for some func, was licld on September 5th, to 5:, Diirrstarfs Basilica, where a.

Captain Os- car Hermandez, chief of the port police, made a, flat charge that the fire was set by Communists. In Balboa, canal zone authorities investigating a. fire on the Grace liner Santa. Rita, blamed "the fire here and on the Morro Castle" on an organization of intemationai radicals. As flames still seared through the hold of the luxurious cruise ship, beached a few hundred feet from Asbury Park's boardwalk, the latest Associated .Press count of the dead and missing was 132. One hundred and sixteen bodies have been re- ; covered. v Scarcely had the federal inquiry i, got underway when U. S. Attomey Martin Conboy issued subpoenas for appearances before the federal grand jury tomorrow of Warms and other ship’s officers and sur- vivors. The testimony at the hearing, conducted by Dickerson N. Hoover, head of the Steamboat Inspection Service of the U. S. Department of Commerce, also brought out that the body of Captain Robert Will- mott, master of the liner, was cre- mated in his cabin, Captain Testifies Warms, his broken left hand -bandaged and his face weather- beaten and deeply furrowed, broke down as he told of the Morro Castle tragedy. Willmott died sud- denly Friday night-but a few hours before the last night out of a. Havana to New York cruise was turned into horror and panic. Warms said the master was laid out in his cabin, the door locked, ‘I tried to get out, the body of " . . ." Then, Worms broke. He sob- bed for a minute, added: “He was my pal." “I went down the ladder to get out the body of the Captain," he continued. “I guess that's how I broke my hand.

On the decks after passengers were aroused, the acting Captain said he saw much panicky confu- sion. After the alarm wu sounded, The said, the amidships seemed to go up in a puff. Some passengers, he said, didn’t seem to want to come out of their cabins. "I understood there had been several drinking parties that night and also that they carried six or seven girls to their rooms who were very drunk." After he had expressed every confidence in the crew of the liner. Warms was asked: “What about reports that 'I0 or 80 of the 85 or so that landed in one lifeboat were members of tho crew?" "I don't know anything about that." "Did the crew leave without help- ing passengers?" “The boats were not lowered un- til I gave thc orders,” Worms re- plied. “Where were you?" "I never left the bridge." "Was there any trouble?" “I saw some panic among the ‘passengers I saw a steward force a woman into a lifeboat." Then. Chief Officer Warns said, some of the passengers didn’t seem `to want to enter the boats. Warms in his testimony said, a-I he walked around the bridge, he saw no one at the automatic fire control board, Neither, he said, did the emergency electric light system Work. The questioning revolved for a large part around the failure of power. "About 20 minutes after the fire was discovered," Warm.; said, “the chief engineer said the engine crew could not go on and all power had failed. - Driven Back By Smoke "nc soid it was so rnicir _with smoke the crew could not remain.

"When the ship engineer came up to the bridge, I told him 'for Gods sake go forward and drop the anchor?" _Worms said the first wireless signal, asking ships to stand by, went out nt 3,15 :i.m_, and ihnt about a minute inter- thc SOS. call was sci-rf;_ When asked by the investigators about the difference in time be- twoen the discovery of firc and the S.O.S. signal, Wnrms snid: “I thought the crew could con. trol the fire."
