 Was False Friend.

NOW NO TRACE OF WALKER
NEW BRITAIN POLICE CHIEF RETURNS FROM NEW FORK,

All the Machinery of the Metropolitan
 Department in M0tl0n-If Bank De-
 faulter is in That City 1t is Believed
 He Will be Found ShOrtIy-Wife
 Says He Did Not Have Much Money
 When He Left Home.
 New Britain, Feb. 15.--Chief of Police Rawlings who went to New York with a warrant for Defaulter Walkers ar rest, returned to this city tonight. He claimed that he had secured no trace whatever of the missing bank treasur- CT, but said that he had been assured by the New York police authorities that all the machinery of the depart ment in that city had been in motion and that if Walker was still in New York he would be found shortly
 Detectives came here to-day and made search of Walkers house They also had long interview wito c. B. oldershaw, acting treasurer, and Clerk H. L. Curtis. The general line of the detectives inquiry was as to how it had been possible for Walker to carry eul all the securities, in view of the facts stated by them that the time lock on tho vault goes on at o'clock in the afternoon and until o'clock the next morning, and tha tduring the day Walker was never alone in the room, one or the other of the two men being present.
 Neither could the men recall any time for month past when Walker could have gone to the vault and carried out the securities without being noticed.
 Mrs Walker insists that Walker did not have much money when he left.
 Rev. Raymond Maplesden, field sec retary of the Connecticut Literary in- stitute at Suflield, who preached in Trinity Methodist church. New York on Sunday and who was we'll acquainted with Walker came here this afternoon and had an interview with Senator A J. sloper Mir Maplesden's story was to the effect that he had seen a man injured whom he thought was Walker in New York Sunday It developed to- day in the course of long interview that at the time MT. Maplesden noticed the injured man he did not then recog- nize him as Walker, and he said 1t was not until after that he had heard that Walker was missing that the resem- blance between the injured man and Walker occurred to him.

BUT SEVENTEEN SURVIVE
ANOTHER LARCHNoNT VICTIM
 DIES IN THE HOSPITAL,

Only Eight Bodies of seventy-six Re-
 covered Remained Unidentified Late
 Last Night-Captain Mcyey's State-
 ment May be Taken in Providence by
 United States Inspectors owing to
 His COndition-Acquitted of Cow-
 ardice by Joy Line Officials.
 Providence, Feb 15.--Another name was added to the list of victims of the wreck of the Joy line steamer Larch- mont in Block Island sound last Mon- day night, when James yann, colored waiter, who was one of those saved, died at the East Side hospital in this city to-day. His death reduced the number of survivors of the 160 persons known to have been on the Larchmont to seventeen. The other survivors are believed to be in fair way to recov- cry
 The Identification of the seventy-six bodies that have been recovered has so far progressed that at 10;45 o'clock to- night only eight remained unclaimed at the morgue in this city. A few days more will be allowed for Identification, and then the unknown dead will be buried by the city.
 The United States authorities at New London, Conn, have partially finished their Investigations of the accident by taking the testimony of the captain and crew of the schooner Harry Knowlton, which rammed the ill-fated steamer and sent her to destruction. These men have been released and are now on their way to their homes. The in- speetors have yet to hear Captain Me- Vey's account of the disaster, and it is expected that that officers deposition, as well as that of hls quartermaster, James Stables, will be taken in this city, as neither is as yet able to travel to New London.
 Those on the schooner claimed that they held their course straight down the sound from Race Rock light toward Point Judith, and that the steamer tried to cut across the bow of their boat It is understood that Captain MoVey and his quartermaster declare that the schooner altered her course and luffed into their vessel. The con- troversy is likely to continue for some time.
 A stiff northwestern to-day drove the Block Island searching fleet back into the harbor, and for the first day since the wreck no bodies were recovered. It is now believed that should others be found they will be discovered we'll to the eastward of Block Island, perhaps as far as Martha's Vineyard, near which portion of the wreck was seen floating this morning.
 The names of Mir. and Mrs. A. A. Potter, of Andover, N. r., were added to the list of the missing late this aft ernoon.
 A meeting of the officials of the Joy line was held to-day, and at its conclu- sion the company gave out statement denying the charges of cowardice made against Captain McVey and the crew of the Larchmont, in reference to their behavior, by some of the survivors. Luther Dow, of New York, general counsel for the American Association of Master Mates and Pilots. attended the meeting.
