LINER CREEPS IN FOG
Minnetonka More Careful After
Mishap to Sister Ship.

The Atlantic Transport liner Minnetonka,
a sister ship of the Minnehaha. which is
now q wreck on the shoals of the Scilly ISL
ands, arrived here yesterday from London
with a cabin full of passengers, all anxious
for news of the stranded vessel.
The mishap to the Minnehaha was not
made public on board the NinnetOnka until
Thursday, although the Minnetonka's wire
less operator was In connection with the
operator of the stranded liner a week ago
Sunday. News of the plight of the big
freight and passenger carrier was sent to
the Minnetonka as private matter between
sister ships, and IL was not until Thursday
that the news was received through the
regular channels Of the Marconi news SER
vice. Practically every one aboard the
Minnetonka was an old patron Of the line
and had crossed the Atlantic on the
Minnehaha. and there was much sympathy
for Captain Layland. commander OF the
wrecked steamer.
IL became known that the Mnnehaha had
gone aground In the fog, and when the
Minnetonka struck thick fog during two
days of the passage the majority of the
passengers didn't feel especially easy. One
of the passengers said:
We all knew how the Minnehaha was
wrecked, and when the fog came UP around
us you can bet Captain Cannons didn't
take any chances with II. There were
times at night when the fog was so thick
that the Minnetonka stopped. There was a
good man In command and we felt safe.
but we were glad. nevertheless, to have
him go slow In picking his way through
the thick weather"

District Attorney Whitman later in dis

He said he had been before the grand

nected with the Windsor Trust scandal.
The indictment of at least one other per-

SUES MAN UNKNOWN TO HIM
Consul General Diederich in
Court to Recover Loan.

When Henry Tarleton Wills went to Ant
werp in 1908 and presented general letter
Of introduction from Robert Bacon. then
Secretary Of State. to Henry W. Diederich.
American Consul General at the Belgian
port, the latter offered his private and off1-
cial services to his visiting compatriot. So
II comes that Diederich is now the plaintin
in a suit in the Supreme Court against one
H Newell Reynolds TO recover N.4D
Strangely enough. the consul general has
never seen the men he Is suing. and does
not know him.
According TO Diederich. Wills represented
that he was about to buy an English news
paper at Brussels He found that he was
short 1000 francs OF the amount necessary
to consummate the purchase, and this
amount the consul general lent him on a
note. Before the paper became due wills
had gone to New York. He said that ne
did not have the money at the time, and
asked thirty days time to pay.
Later. Wills drew on Reynolds, the de-
fendant in the suit. for 1900 francs. telling
Diederich 10 take out the amount that Wills
owed him. He said that the draft on Reyn-
olds was on the latters agreement TO buy
twenty shares in the newspaper enterprise.
Wills Is said TO have told Diederich that
there was no risk in accepting his pay
ment In this manner. Reynolds said that
he made an agreement with Wills on his
representation that the Brussels concern
said. was not the case. He therefore can
celled the draft and abrogated the agree
ment. The Brussels newspaper Is now
bankrupt.

that she had not even been allowed TO
speak TO her daughter when she found her
In the rooms of the society.
The parents of the child are out in the

Washington Market. and it has been the
custom 10 send Viola and Irving. her
seven-year-old brother, TO their grand
mother. Mrs Mary Barrett. at No. 32s West

Saturday morning, and the last time the
little girl was seen was about noon. when
in answer 20 pleadings and coaxings. her
grandmother allowed her to go down 10
the sidewalk TO play.
Mrs. Miller said last night that she was
told Sunday afternoon the child had
not been taken TO the Children's Society.
This morning" she added, II received a
communication from the society stating
that the child was there and asking me 10
come down there. When an attendant
brought out Viola / asked il l could carry
her home but lie refused this. and told
me the only way / could get her was to
go to the Children's Court tomorrow morn

dren, said last night:
The police turned the child over TO the
society Sunday night, after the mother
had called. Where II had been in the
mean time no one knows. When the books
were checked up this morning, the mother
was told, and came down. But In the

bathed. she complained that her arm was
sore from a whipping she had received
There were no marks on the arms. but the
child said she did not want to go home to
her parents, ard when her mother arrived
she turned away from her.
The mother was not prevented from
talking TO the girl. Instead she turned
away and ran 90 the elevator. We then
decided that the case needed further in
vestigation. and that is why IL will come
