LOOMS DROPS
OUT OF SIGHT
Brother of Assistant SecPe-
tary of State Disappears
From an Atlantic Liner

WASHINGTON. June 21.-Assistant
Secretary of State Loomis has been
notified by the officials Of the steam
ship company that his brother. Kent
Loomis, who was en- route to Europe,
has disappeared from the Kaiser VIII
helm II.
Loomis, however. is confident that
his brother has rot come TO harm. His
reason for this belief is the fact that
when the boat touched at Plymouth,
which was during the night. his
brother landed, as was shown by the
dispatch by him of a cableSram which
was received in Washington. Loomis
thinks his brother was accidentally left
in Plymouth when the boat departed
for CherbOurg. He is expecting to hear
from him at any moment.
LOomis has received several dis
Patches from persons who were aboard
the Kaiser Wilhelm II, saying they
saw his brother get off the ship when
she touched AT Plymouth at o'clock
Monday morning. These dispatches
came from passengers who landed at
CherbOurg and subsequently went to
Paris The information they contain
confirms Mr.. Loomis in his opinion that
his brother simply took advantage OF
an opportunity to make a stop for a
time in England. He declares that
there is absolutely no occasion for
alarm about his brother.

INVESTIGATING ATTEMPT
TO BURN SAN QUENTIN
Prison Officials Are Probing Into the
Plot and Leaders Will Be
Punished

SAN RAFAEL, June 21.-The
prison officials have been quietly in
vestigating the recent attempts to
burn the San Quentin penitentiary. The
ringleaders of the plot have been fer
reted out and will be punished. Rich
ard Jessup has already spent a term
in the straitjacket and others will
be penalized as they deserve. All the
prisoners suspected stoutly assert
their innocence, but the evidence of
the plot is conclusive.
The desperate men had taken into
their confidence several TRUSTEES, by
whose aid it was expected pistols
would be smuggled inside the walls.
During the confusion following the
outbreak of fire the guards were to be
overpowered and a seizure made of
the arsenal. 1t was a bold scheme,
but It would have been attempted had
not the plans miscarried. The prison
officials will continue their investiga-
tions until all the guilty convicts are
rounded up.

Inspector Refuses to Testify and Such Evil
dence as Is Given Reflects
on Crew.

NEW YORK, June 21.-Evidence of
startling nature, which doubtless
will have most important bearing on
the ultimate result of the Coroner's in
quiry into the General Slocum disaster,
was forthcoming at the inquest to-day.
Perhaps the most unexpected Incl
dent was the continued refusal to
answer questions of Henry Lund-
berg. United States stea amboat
inspector who was supposed to
have inspected the life preservers and
the hull of the Slocum. His refusal
was based on the ground that an an
swer might tend to incriminate him
and he acted on the advice of his coun-
sci.
The Coroner committed Lundberg to
the House OF Detention, but later ac-
cepteds $500 bail for his appearance at
the hearing tomorrow, which was sat
isfactory to the Assistant District At
tcrney.
Second Pilot Weaver of the Slocum
testified that he had purchased the fire
hose for that boat and Garvan intro
duced evidence to show that the price
paid was 40 cents a foot. less so per
cent, or Is cents per foot net.
Don't you know that you can't buy
good fire hose for less than a dollar or
a dollar and half foot?"
II don't know anything about the
price of hose" responded Weaver.
Weaver also declared that there had
been no fire drill on the Slocum this
year.
Daniel O'Neill, who, according to his
sworn statement, had never worked on
a boat until he was hired on the Slo-
cum a short time ago, admitted that
he had jumped into a rowboat filed
with people from the Slocum, capSizing
it. Asked if he saved any one, he said
there were others doing that and he
was not an expert swimmer. He swan
ashore himself. however. O'Neill de-
clared he never saw a fire drill on the
boat.
Referring to the efforts to throw wa
ter on the fire when it was first discOv-
cred. O'Neill told of the bursting of
the hose. He ran and got the rubber
washing hose, but the coupling would
not fit the sandpipe. This was some of
the sensational testimony brought out.
BY the use of dynamite and heavy
guns fired by men from the Second
Battery scores of bodies were brought
up from the bottom around the shores
