British Public Wants More Details O
Naval Fight.

LONDON. Jan. dissatisfaction
was expressed here today over the
news that Captain Erdmann of the
German cruiser Bluecher had been
among the survivors of that vessel
and that he had been landed at Leith.
Captain Erdman is regarded as one
OF the ablest officers in the German
navy.
The reiterated assertions in Berlin
that one or more of the British ships
engaged in tn, North Sea battle had
been sund are beginning to wear on
the patience of the Britons.
That German mine layers have set
traps off the north coast of Ireland
for British waships is indicated by an
announcement that the armored mer-
chant vessel Kiknor had been lost off
the Irish coast and that bodies and
other wreckage have been washed
ashore.
The Viknor carried a crew of 125
men and all are believed to have per
ished. This vessel was chartered at
the outset of the war to carry stand
ed Americans from England but never
sailed.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-When John

second time as a witness before the
federal commission on industrial rela-

showed that the police department was
taking elaborate precautions to guard
him. The presence of a number of
radical leaders of the Industrial Work
ers of the World at the hearings, and
the present agitation over the unem-
ployed question led the police depart
ment to suspect that an attempt to
harm the son of the multi-millionaire
oil king might be made

The city hall, where the commission
is conducting its inquiry, was crowd
