SABOTAGE AT U.S. PORTS
PROTEST BY ITALIAN CAPTAIN (Received April 11, 8 p.m.) PHILADELPHIA, April 10. The Federal indictments charging Italian sailors with sabotage of their ships in United States ports brought a dramatic moment when the master of the Italian freighter Belvedere uttered a fiery protest, exclaiming; “I will make them remember me for this. You tell the Consul and the Embassy that I did what they told me to do. Now they are abandoning me and my men." Captain Romano Tomicich made this protest when no Iggal assistance was forthcoming. He shouted: "They had better not let me and my men stay two months in gaol.” At Newark (New Jersey), the Federal Grand Jury i indicted 97 members of crews and officers of eight Italian freighters docked at New Jersey ports, on sabotage charges. The indictments also named Rinaldo Negri, identified by tbe Attorney’s office as Marine Superintendent of the Italian Line.
