Several other members examined the
document and expressed opinion that the
letter had been added after the original
document was written. Morris stated fur
Their that he had other facts In his pos
session that he did not care 10 make pub

His speech created great sensation. II
was stated that the document in question

Lost His Life on the EIbc.

A Newport News special OF Monday
says: Mr. Adoph ROsenbaum' or the
firm Of Reisheld e. Rosenbaum, Of this
city. who has been visiting relatives in
Germany for several months, was ex-
pectei to sail from Bremen about the
time the Inflated steamship Elbe left that
port When the news of the disaster
was published here his family and friends
scanned the list Of passengers with feel
'ngs Of dread While the name of Adolph
Rosenbaum was not mentioned, the list
did contain the name Of Julius Rosen-
baum Strange 20 say. the next name
TO follow was that Of "Adolph' Islaub,
MIR. Rosenbaum's friends that the
first names Of the two men
had been transposed. and that he
went down with the Elbe. This concu-
sion was adhered to until Saturday. when
a postal-card from Mr.. Rosenbaum. dated
Berlin, January 20lh. was received
10y his partner, Mr.. Abram Relsfeld. The
card stated that the writer expected 10
leave that day for Paris. thence for
Southampton. from which place he would
sail on January 18th Via the steamship
Paris. for New York The relief caused
by this reassuring news was Of short du-
ration, however. for late Saturday after
noon Mr. Rcisneld received "A telegram
from the International Navigation Com
pany stating that the Paris had arrived
at New York. and that Adolph Rosen-
baum was not a passenger on the vessel
This information confirms the fears that
Mr.. Rosenhaum went down with the
