who particularly noticed Frederick Kent Loo
mis- brother of Assistant Secretary of State
LOOMS to-day furnished the American officials
with formal statement, which will be forward
ed to the State Department at Washington, CIV
ing precise details regarding Mr.. LOOMS up to
the moment Mr.. Flamm went ashore. The state
ment says in part:

Wilhelm II TO the tugboat at Plymouth. man

ton. | am positive Frederick Kent LOOMS.

tug probably five feet away from LOOMS. He
wore a light overcoat, eyeglasses and travelling
can He had a seat at the table next to mine.
also saw him much on deck ana around the snip,
and knew him sutticiercly to identify him posi-
lively. LOOMS being a small man in long,
light overcoat, his figure became more conspicu-
ous and therefore / am perfectly satisfied this
was LOOMS l further state that / am positive
I saw Frederick Kent Loomis and gentleman
and lady between and o'clock In the morning
of Monday June 20 walking on deck. CThis Is
the morning that the steamer reached Plym-
outh) LOOMS assisted or sustained in his
walk by the gentleman and lady. 1 further state
that the gentleman and lady were the same
who occupied the table with him and who were
in company with him a great deal during the
trip
The statement adds certain details OF rather
personal nature which II is desirable to with
hold for the present Mr.. Looms's trunks ana
valises which the steamship company held sub
tect to Consul General Gowdys orders. were
turned over to-day to the consulate. They were
all locked and there were no keys A curious
fact is that the trunks bear Identification
mark the letter FL instead of IL" The tags
show that the first name had been erased.
The Cherbourg report that Mr.. Loomis's body
had been washed up near there although de-
nied tended TO heighten the tragic possibilities
Of the case. The officials here have not aban-
doned hope, but they admit that each day adds
10 the increasing gravity of the mystery.
Cherbourg, June 2S.-The report. circulated by
a London news agency yesterday, that the body
of Frederick Kent LOOMS had been washed
ashore near here is false The Investigations
made do not disclose any warrant for the circu-
lation of the rumor.
