Carolina Had a 100000 Cargo.

New York, June 7.-Ofhcials Of the
New York and Porto Rico Line were
in communication with the Offices in
San Juan, Porto Rico yesterday in
the endeavor to check all lists and
find exactly what had been the loss
of life on the steamship Carolina,
sunk on Sunday night by a German
raider. There were discrepancies in
the lists. According to the latest in
formation eight passengers and four
of the crew are unaccounted for.
There Is much uncertainty on the
part of officials of the steamship COM
pany as to the exact number of the
crew.
According to officials Of the line
the record now stands
Passengers landed from the Doug
lass, 1872: at Atlantic City, IS; at
LeWes, Del Ten; missing, eight: total
21S.
Crew: From the Douglass "a; at
Lewes, Del. 9; at Atlantic City, s;
missing, 4; total, lis The missing
members of the crew are G w. Mus
sender, purser; C. Johansen. first
assistant engineer; Miss Ethel McHar-
ney, stewardness and A. Cadero, a
waiter.
When the U-boat sank the Carolina
1t sent to the bottom a cargo valued
at 100000. The chief losers will be
Porto Rican merchants. The Caro-
lima had on board when she left San
Juan, according, to the dispatch es
that announced her sailing, 5000 bags
of sugar. ITO cases OF general mer-
chandise 220 BOXES Of oranges, $500
boxes OF grape fruit. 10000 crates OF
pineapples and 1850 bags Of cocoa
nuts. Cneasiness over the steamship
Brazos which sailed for San Juan
with 200 passengers, was allayed late
yesterday afternoon when a cable dis
patch announced her safe arrival at
her destination.

BAR TO HEAR CONT.
Hartford Lawyer Called 20 Answer
Complaint in Auto Case.

Hartford, June 7.--Francis j. Con-
IT, a lawyer of this city, on complaint
OF the grievance committee Of the
bar, has been cited to appear nefore
the superior court to show cause why
he should not be disbarred.
The complaint is based on police
court prosecution on December IL,
1917, when Mr.. Cont appeared as
counsel for Peter Meol, who was
charged with stealing an automobile
from a man named De Marco. Prior
to the hearing the matter Of the
stealing had been adjusted and X Is
recited in the complaint of the griev-
ance committee, that on the way to
the police court, De Marco asked Con-
ii what he should say and that Cont
replied that he could say he found
the automobile. or didn't find 1t; say
anything he pleased, and adding, he
was not De Marcos counsel
The automobile had not been found
as Meoli and De Marco knew and for
them to testify under oath it had
been found was false testimony as
Cont knew, and he gave no hint to
the court that 1t was being deceived
by The false testimony.

CHIEF GRASS PASSES
Captain WEIGH Is Now Head of
Standing Rock Agency and Only
White Man to Hold Honor.

Mandan, N. D.. June with the
passing of Chief John Grass. of the
Sioux tribe of Indians, who recently
died at Fort Yates. the headquarters
of the Standing Rock agency, his
mantle falls upon the shoulders of
the only white man ever adopted into
the tribe. Thus Captain A. B. WEIGH.
Of Mandan, adopted son Of the old
chieftain, becomes, according to an
Gent customs of the Sioux the chief
OF the tribe.
The new Sioux chief, whose Indian
name is Mato -Watakpe, is with the
United States Infantry in France and
Is the aide of Major General Hunter
Liggett.
A grandson of John Grass. Albert
Grass. is serving with the same divi
sion.
Although there were formerly four
chieftains of the Sioux. only one line
remains. and, the old chiefs sons all
being dead, Captain WEIGH, by rea-
son of being an adopted son takes
precedence over a grandson in the
direct line.
The name Mato- Watakpe Is the
Sioux war name Of the old chief and
means Charging Bear" When he
was adopted Captain WEIGH chose
this name as the one by which he
would be known among the Indians
Although the chief Of today has
no. the same powers Of the chief of
years gone by, the title still gives him
the respect OF the Indians and they
recognize him as their leader. A
chief still represents his tribe in all
the disputes or conferences with the
