LARGE REWARD FOR

Offer Of $4,000 Posted in
Queenstown While Boats
Are Chartered to Search.

NEW YORK. May 1l.-Through wal
ter Webb-Ward. London solicitor for
Alfred G. Vanderbilt, there is posted in
Queenstown an offer OF a reward OF
5000 for the recovery OF Mr.. Wander
bits BODY.
Mr.. Webb-Ward also has chartered
boats to search the waters covering a
wide radius OF the spot where the Lusi-
tania went down. Many Of the boats
carry divers. The shores are closely
patroled.
While this search Is in progress MEM
bers of the family here have not given
up hope. Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt and
his brothers. Cornelius and Reginald c..
believe there Ia chance that he may
have been landed on a lonely coast or
island. Expressing this hope yesterday,
Cornelius Vanderbilt said:
I'VE have not yet given up hope of
finding my brother alive. You see we
have no definite word that he was lost.
We know nothing more than what was
printed. that no trace OF him has been
found. Therefore this failure to trace
him cannot in itself be accepted as
conclusive proof that he was lost. He
may have been picked up and taken
to some remote point on the coast"
