Great Britain Will Get
Wheat from Argentina
Embargo Modified to Permit
100000 Tons To Be
Exported

According to advices received by The
Northwestern Miller" from Buenos
Ayres, special arrangements have been
concluded between the British and Ar
gentine governments whereby Great
Britain will be allowed to import wheat
from the South American republic de-
spite the embargo placed on the ex-
port of grain from Argentina.
II is stated that an agreement has
been entered into under which 100000
tons of wheat and 10000 tons of -four
may be shipped to Europe for British
account. In case the Argentine gov
eminent should require IT, the British
representatives have guaranteed 10 re.
place in the port of Buenos Ayres, dur
ing the months of July TO September
POO 600 tons of wheat of quality
equal to that exported, from Canada,
Australia, or any other foreign coun-
try should the harvest be failure IN
the two colonies referred 20.
At the time the Argentine govern
ment embargo came into force Great
Britain's unshipped wheat purchases IN
Argentina amounted to more than
100000 tons. About 10000 tons left
under the concession which permitted
steamers loading wheat or flour TO
complete loading.

Survivor Captured on Dock
After Escape from
Ellis Island
Ebb Tide Baked Plan
Sailors Could Not Endure
Companions Who Were
Not Gentlemen

Two German sailors made dash for
liberty yesterday b. swimming
through the choppy waters Of the Lower
Bay from Ellis Island 10 the Jersey
shore, GLIDING more than a score OF
neutrality guards.
They were William Schultz and
Gustave Steinhardt, who arrived IN
New York as members Of the crew Of
the Norwegian freighter Nordstjernen
on May 70, and were Immediately sent
20 Ellis Island for internment.
Schultz was captured more than an
hour and half after his escape as he
was crawling up to safety on a coal
dock. His companion a poor swimmer
was drowned. it is believed. Schultz
after he had been taken back TO Ellis
Island. said that he and Steinhard;
had planned the escape for more than
a week. but until yesterday no favor
able opportunity had presented itself
Shortly after lunch hour, Steinhardt
broke WlNlOW pane, Dutu Sl''4DNN NN'
to a wide balcony, and scaling high
wall, gained direct access to the bay
They spent few moments IN search
of a rowboat or a piece of timber
which might serve TO keep them afloat
Fearing capture if they waited longer,
both plunged in the bay with their
clothes on and struck out for the
opposite shore, about three hundred
yards away.
They had not reckoned with the
strong outgoing tide, which bore them
fast out to sea. Struggle as they would
they seemed TO make little progress
against il. Schultz said that in trying
to save his own life he had lost sight
of Steinhardt.
Schultz said that they could stand
their confinement on Ellis Island no
longer because Of their uncongeniaI
companions. none of whom were gen
tlemen, and appeared never to have
been in a house before" Another rea-
son for their escape was because they
had insufficient covering at night, their
two blankets being insufficient, accord
ing TO Schultz.

Convict Says Society Woman
Has $4,000 That He Stole
Mrs Elizabeth Briggs Brooklyn Lawyers Wife Arrested
When James E. Foye Swears She Had Money He
Obtained in Wall Street Swindle

The 10000 secret which James f.
Foye took to prison with him four years
ago. when he was sentenced to serve
an indeterminate term for frauds which
were a Wall Street sensation, was re-
vealed yesterday with the arrangement
of Mrs. Elizabeth Briggs, lawyers wife
and Brooklyn society woman, on Foye's
charge that $4,000 Of the money he
stole went TO her.
Mrs. Briggs, who has handsome
and heavily mortgaged- residence at
97S Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, was ar
rested Friday night on the affidavit of
Norman f. Fitzsimmons. a detective
representing the interests through
whose influence Foye was able to es-
cape paying the full penalty for his
swindles.
F. Fossett Briggs, her husband, had
her admitted to $4,000 bail by Justice
Kelby shortly after detectives took her
from her home, and in Tombs Court in
the morning the bail was continued
There will be a further hearing in the
case on Wednesday.
Mrs. Briggs Keeps Silent
Mrs. Briggs's husband, whose Office is
at 3G7 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, was IN
court with her. The fact that details
of her friendship with Foye prior to
her marriage had been included in
Fitzsimmons's affidavit seemed to have
made no deep impression on Briggs
He would not permit newspaper men
to talk TO Mrs. Briggs, nor would ne
himself provide any information.
81 won't tell you anything" he said
from his end of the Briggs residence

Briggs was asked the date OF his mar
riage. ,,,
That's an impertinent question:" he
cried. "It's none of your bushes. II
you send man to the house I'll throw
him out!"
The records to which Briggs referred
ouestioners- including the back files OF
newspapers have nothing to say oil
him. but much of Foye.
Foye Had Mother Arrested
Fove first sprang into publicity, in
1905. when he hailed his aged mother
into court for Threatening nm. She
was i'll and without money, and subse-
ouently Foye, then assistant manager
Of John W. Gates's Office in the Wal
dorf-Astoria, was forced to contribute
500 a month to her support.
In 1909 he appeared on the floor OF
the Consolidated Stock Exchange as
REPRESENTATIVE of a Boston firm soon
afterward suspended. following charges,
II had bucketed accounts. Foye found
the necessary sponsors and returned
70 the floor as broker in October. OF
the same year. His trades were few
and insignificant, and in 1912 he failed
for $4,000. ,... e,s
