Hongkong, Oct. 22.
The Dollar liner President Coolidge was held up until 1 p.m. Thursday after sailing from Hongkong at 9 a.m. that day for Shanghai because it was forced to wait and take on board a Spanish-American parole breaker.
Frank Lopez, a Spanish-American prisoner being sent to the United States, escaped from the Coolidge on Tuesday evening, Lopez, who broke parole, remained in hiding in Hongkong for almost two days, but the local police instituted a city-wide search and arrested him late Thursday.
The. local police force acted under instructions of the American Consular authorities who applied to the Hongkong Government for ce-operation in finding the missing prisoner.
Although arrested by the local police authorities, Lopez was not held in custody but sent under armed guard by launch to the Coolidge which was forced to wait in Kowloon Bay.
Lopez was handed over to the liner's officials and placed safely under guard.
The Coolidge then continued to Shanghai, where she is due to dock on Sunday shortly after noon.—United Press.
