FIND BECKER WITNESS
Long Sought Jake the Brick
Turns Up in Cleveland.

Cleveland, March 6.-Jacob D. Gold
man, alias Jake the Brick" long
sought as witness in the Becker muir
der trial in New York, has been found
in Cleveland.
Martin Manton, chief counsel for the
ex-police lieutenant in his fight for
third trial, said in New York to-day an
attempt would be made to get Goldman
TO return to New York 20 testify.
Two weeks ago Goldman walked into
the Office of Attorney David h. Roth
kopf ard told Rothkopf who he was.
After hearing Goldman's story Roth
kopf got in touch with New York at
torneys for Becker at Goldman's re-
quest.
Amnog the things which it is said
Goldman stated he could explain was
the reason why the negro, James Mar
shall, first repudiated his testimony
against Becker, substantiating the so
called murder conference between
Becker and Rose, and then later re-
pudiated his reputation.
Rothkopf says Goldman Is still in
town.

SINK NEAR DOVER
Victim of Mine or Torpedo, but
Crew Was Saved by Warship,
RYndam PASSENGERS Saw.

Passengers and the officers of the
steamship Ryndam, which docked in
Hoboken yesterday morning, told a
vivid story of the blowing up OF a
freighter February "a thirty miles off
Dover No one could say if the vessel
struck a mine or was tOrpedoed.
The freighter, which, il was said,
looked to be about 5000 tons, was pro-
ceeding with no flag flying and not
signalling. II was just getting dusk,
was very clear and there was no sea
About mile away the snip was clearly
visible
Suddenly there was a burst Of steam,
fame and smoke, and the big freighter
swung out of her course. Her crew
Immediately lowered their boats and
stood by.
Fear that the surrounding waters
concealed floating mines, and the $50
passengers they carried kept the of
ficers OF the Ryndam from going TO
her assistance. The men in the boats
could have easily reached the Ryndam,
but they waited. Just as the Ryndam
signalled that il would pick them up
torpedo destroyer hove in sight and
signalied the steamship TO keep off and
ran alongside and picked up the crew.
In the North Sea, the Ryndam re-
ports, they saw number of floating
mines about half mile from the ship.
The liner brought 10000 canary birds
from Germanye three lions, number
of monkeys auu . polar bear.

SEIZED AMERICAN
VESSEL RELEASED
The Pacific Resumes VOy-
age to Rotterdam Inter
rupted by British.

Boston, March 6.-The cotton laden
steamer Pacific, bound from Galveston
for Rotterdam, which was detained at
Deal, England, yesterday, has been re-
leased, according to q cablegram from
Captain Mundy, her commander, to-
day.
"Am sailing tonight for Rotter-
DAM" Captain Mundy reported to the
owners Of the vessel. John 5. Emery &
Co. The officials of the company now
believe that the steamer was held up
only to take on pilot. Her cargo was
officially passed by the British authori-
ties at Falmouth last Monday.
No question Of change Of registry
was involved. The Pacific was an
American built and American-owned
vessel, and she left port after having
been inspected and passed according
to regulations Of British authorities.
The possibility is recognized, however,
that some suspicion might have at
tached to her cargo after she left the
United States, but officials look for her
prompt release after inspection.
The Pacific carries S9G9,990 insur-
ance, Of which S350,000 is on her hull,
all written by the government War
Risk Bureau.

LA TOURAINE ONCE
LINES CRACK BOAT
Built 25 Years Ago, but
Recently Put in the One
Cabin Class.

La Touraine, which was la nched IN
the shipyards at ST. Nazaire, France,
twenty-five years ago, is known as
second class ship, carrying only sec
ond class and steerage passengers.
When she was sent out from Havre
on her maiden passage to New YORK,
in 1890, she was considered splendid
model and was one OF the Trench
Lines express steamships. For many
wears she maintained good service,
averaging eighteen knots, and IN ordl-
nary weather would be sure to make
port on Saturdays.
When the company's latest expires
steamship, the France, came out, IN
1912. La TOuraine was taken out OF
service. Overhauled and put into
class known as ore-cabin ship. Her
speed was reduced, and with it the
price of passage, and although she
took longer 10 make the run between
New York and Havre, she served as a
convenient means Of transportation
for persons who were not particular
about getting to Europe in hurry.
She is a vessel of 9.O47 tons gross,
is 500 feet long and has a beam of 90
feet. Her chief claim to dlstlhcuoh
was her participation in the rescuing
of forty-two persons who were on the
Uranium Line steamship Nolturno,
which caught fire in mid-Atlanuc ana
was abandoned IN October, 1913.
At the time of the rescue La Iou-
raine was in command Of Captain Caus-

Saturday a week ago The skipper
stood by the burning Nolturno, sent
out a lifeboat, and succeeded in saving
forty-two persons, whom he landed In
New York October %, 1913.
CAPTAIN and crew received medals
and gifts of money in this city and IN
Havre for their rescue work IN that
disaster, which ended with a loss OF l32
lives.
CAPTAIN Caussin and Captain Knuth,
of the Hamburg America liner Amer
ika, were the first masters to discover
the drifting ice fields off Cape Race In
April. 1912, and both warned the Ii
tanic of the presence OF borgs, one OF
which sent the great White Star liner
to the bottom on her maiden passage to
New York.
The blaze reported yesterday was not
La Touraine's first encounter with fire.
Flames spread through her hold on Jan
uary 21, 1903, while she lay at the quay
in Havre.
The vessel met with a mishap to her
machinery in 1907, when she was pass
ing out the Narrows on her way to
Havre. A steam pipe burst, injuring
five men. two Of whom died after their
removal to the Smith Infirmary, Staten
Island.
She was also one Of the vesse'j to
house Americans for several days in
Havre at the outbreak of the European
war. and was one of the first steam
ships to arrive here with refugees.

the fire on La Touraine. Their personal /
opinion. without evidence TO support II, |
was that the vessel was set on fire by /
a German agent. They were unwilling
20 concede any other cause for the fire,
as the company in New York, they de-
clared, had taken extreme precautions
in protecting its vessels during their
sojourn in port and on the day of their
departure.
An undersea attack from German
submarine was considered likely among
shipping men generally, as the Admir-
atty has had knowledge for some time
that the German craft have been trav-
Cling more than eight hundred miles
from their base. La Touraine, accord
ing TO the French representatives here,
was an ideal craft for German attack.
She was laden TO capacity with most
inflammable cargo, consisting largely oil
cartridges. turpentine and blankets.
Every precaution was taken by the
French company's officials in New York
TO clear it's piers of all suspicious per
sons while La Touraine was loading

c1stom house and sworn to at the elev-
enth hour. when La Touraine sailed
from New York, on February p.
Although the agents in New York
were confident that they knew perfect

Of every person on board the stricken
liner. it is conceded here that an agent
of Germany might have sailed on her.
Several owners Of British steamships
were confident to-day that the Touraine
had been hit by q torpedo from q Ger
man submarine.

would happen" said the head of one
of the big lines. MANY persons

vigilance of British destroyers on pa

The fact that the vessel was merely
on fire and not sunk makes 1t reason
able to suppose that only one OF the
seven or eight torpedoes fired at her

GERMAN SOLDIERS
SECRETLY QUIT N. Y.
More than 100 Start for
Mexico to Guard Inter
estS of Fatherland.

Although every effort was made 10
conceal the fact, it became known that
company of more thar. a hundred
German reservists left New York yes
terday for Mexico, where they Will act
as private police and guard the large
German interests there pending the re-
adjustment of Mexico's diplomatic re-
latIOns with Germany and other Eu-
ropean powers, whose representatives
decided yesterday TO quit the country
in body.
The men left yesterday afternoon
over the Lackawanna Railroad for Chi
cago, where they will be joined by an
other contingent and proceed to Mexico
by way of Texas.
Since the beginning Of the war Ger
man reserysts from ali parts of this
country concentrated in New York,
anxious to secure passage to Germany.
Few of them succeeded, and the ma
jority, unable to get back to their
homes in this country, became stranded
here and were compelled to live on the
charity of their cOmpGtriots.
They registered at the German Con-
sulate, at IL Broadway. There they
were indeXed. and then sent to various
Concentration camps" as the lodging
houses and homes where they lived
came to be known. In this way it was
possible to select among the fifty thou
sand German reservists estimated to be
in New York the men best fitted for the
jobs in Mexico. 1t is said that all of
them are former non-commisSioned Off
GERS of the German army and navy.
The German guards" went away un-
armed. and will not be supplied with
weapons until the United States border
is crossed.
At the German Consulate it was de-
MED that the consulate had any Official
knowledge Of the transport of the re-
servists. IL was also stated that the
representatives of the German govern
ment in this country were not inter.
ested in the matter.
1t is understood that the men were
hired by private interests in Mexico
who fear that lawlessness may destroy
the extensive German interests in that
country.

which, it is reported, Great Britain is
preparing to explain in some detail
the general terms of her original decla-
ration. 1t was also considered possible
that the inquiry might be sent to-
morrow so as to indicate to the Allies
the solicitude of the United States over
the general restrictions to its COM
merce implied in recent Anglo-French
notes.
That the American inquiry will indi-
cate clearly the grounds on which sub
sequent protests will be based was
generally believed in diplomatic cir
cles 1t was expected the American
government would ask Great Britain
and France for an explanation of their
recent notes since President Wilson
has spoken of the rather general and
vague policy announced in those COM
munications and the necessity for dis
covering how the principles expressed
would actually be enforced.
