NEW YORK, March 14.-At hear
ing in the private chambers of Magis-
trate Wahl in the Tombs police court
today, Mrs. G.. B. Williams, an Eng
lish woman who resides at the Hoffman
house, was committed to Bellevue
hospital to be examined as to her
sanity.
Mrs. Williams was arrested this af-
ternoon in front of the offices of j. P,
Morgan e. Co. on a warrant sworn
out by Former Assistant District At
torney Lord. The charge was disor-
derly conduct.
Mrs. Williams protested when or
dered to the hospital and said she was
the victim of a plot planned by ]. P.
Morgan. When removed from the
magistrates chamber she struggled
desperately and gave the five police
men who had her in charge all they
could do to get her into a carriage.
1t is said that the name Williams is
probably a fictitious one. She is about
forty or fifty years of age and is re-
puted to have been at one time very
wealthy woman, but is said to have
lost considerable money by bad in
vestments. Since March 9 she has
been daily to the offices of Morgan &
Co. demanding to see Mr. Morgan,
who is in Europe, or his son, j. P.
Morgan, jr.
On the occasion of each of her visits
it is alleged she has threatened to
shoot and kill the financier or his son.

WRECK OF ENGLISH STEAMER
CREATES HEROES
British King Founders In Raging At
Iantic Storm and Twenty-seven
Members of the Crew Perish.
Awful Experiences
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BOSTON, March 14-Suffering mem
tally and physically and numerous acts
of heroism in saving life, rarely
equalled in the records of tragedies
of the sea, attended the loss of the
Phoenix line steamer British King,
which on Sunday last, in a raging At
lantic storm, foundered about $50 miles
south of Sable island and carried
death to twenty-seven members of the
crew. Thirteen members were rescued
from the sinking vessel by the Leyland
liner Bostonian bound from Manches-
ter to Boston, and eleven by the tank
steamer Mannheim, Rotterdam for
New York. Five others who had been
drawn in the vortex into which the
British King was engulfed were picked
up by the Bostonian from a frail bit
of wreckage which they had grasped
after desperate struggle for life in
the whirlpool. The Bostonian arrived
here this afternoon and the details OF
the disaster became known.
Captain James OHagen of the Brit
ish King died on board the Bostonian
from the effects of terrible injuries
sustained in trying to save the ship.
The rescued who were brought here
today Include James Flanagan, the
second officer; ]. d. Crawford, the chief
engineer; Adolphus Brew, the fourth
engineer, anu w WllldIl u. SulIys IiiS
steward.
The others were coal passers and
sailors, mostly Belgians, and one stow
away from New York.
Two lifeboats from the Bostonian
were crushed to fragments and the
volunteer crews which manned them
were thrown into the high running
seas while engaged in the work of res
cue, but all were safely landed on
board the steamer.
Lifeboat Swamped
When the first life boat was lowered
from the Bostonian the small craft was
swept against the stern of the big ship
and destroyed and several seamen
were bruised and manned. Yet
despite the boisterous conditions
of the sea, the volunteers were
rescued by lines which were
thrown out from their own steamer.
second attempt to reach the sink
ing ship was successful, and thirteen
men, including Captain O'Hagen, We're
taken from the British King to the
Bostonian. Then again a powerful bill
low carried the life boat against the
side of the ship and destroyed it and
the lifesavers were thrown into the
sea. Volunteers from the Mannheim
after heroic battle with the waves
had taken off eleven from the British
King, but after this neither of the
steamers, in consequence of the in
creasing gale and oncoming darkness,
could make an attempt to reach the
laundering freighter. Soon afterward
the British King, which was then
water-logged and helpless, plunged
to the bottom.
The British King sailed from New
York last Wednesday, bound for Ant
werp with a miscellaneous cargo and
150 cattle. Previous to the appearance
of the rescuing steamers every small
boat of the King had been demolished
and there was no way in which the
crew could leave the ship.

VINETA, 1. T., March 14.-Marshal
Darraugh reached Vineta this after
noon from Spavinaw and said that the
reports of the trouble with the Cher
okee Indians had been exaggerated.
Darraugh arrested fifteen fullblood In
dams on the charge of harboring and
assisting the Wickliffe boys The
Wickliffes had not been to Spavinaw
when Darraugh left. A battle is eX-
pected before the desperadoes are cap
tured.
While at Spavinaw Darraugh and his
men ascertained the general direction
taken by the Wickliffes, and the Off
GERS will take the trail and stay on 1t
until the men are arrested.
1t is believed that the cold weather
will operate more to the disadvantage
OF the outlaws than the officers, for
the latter are warmly clad, while many
of the Indians are practically destitute.
Chief Deputy Marshal Depue, who is
in command at Vineta, early today
started a wagonload of supplies to the
officers. Another posse went along
with the wagon.
1t is believed the Wickliffes, aside
from their attempt to escape from the
officers for the numerous crimes
charged to them, are taking advantage
of the situation to arouse the Cher
okee Indians to hold out against the
allotment of their lands. 1t develops
that the Indians have been holding
dances regularly for the last three Fri
days.
At one of these James Wickliffe, an
uncle of the outlaws, is credited with
having counseled the Night Hawks to
continue their resistance to allotment,
promising that in twenty days, if they
held out, the tribal laws of the Cher
okee nation would be restored. They
would never, he said, submit to the
allotment.

WASHINGTON, March IA. - John
Focrd, secretary of the American

cities of the United States, appeared
before the house committee on foreign
affairs today, supporting the Foster
bill to amend the Chinese exclusion act
in such manner that high class Chi

Mr.. Foord discussed the section of
the presidents message recommending
modification of the Chinese exclusion
act
There is nothing radical about the
changes the president proposes" said
Mr.. Foord. THE presidents simple
remedy is to define the excluded class
of Cinnamon and let all others enter
after due consideration by the consular
officers of the United States at the
port of departure in China and bearing
certificates duly vised by the officers" "

D. A. Tompkins of Charlotte, N. c.,

He said class distinctions were made
in China and must be recognized by

easily recognized that it was desirable
for this country to say that all Chinese
but the coolies may enter our ports.
He urged that there was no desire
