HETTY GREEN LENT
MILLIONS TO N. Y.
Loaned Money to the City When War.
Time Conditions Made Interest
Rate High.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Mrs. Hetty
Green, at the time of her death, was a
creditor of the city of New York to the
extent of several millions of dollars, it
was disclosed yesterday in brief of the
state comptroller attached to an order af-
iirming the transfer on Mrs. Green's es-
tate as nonresident of New York state,
which was filed yesterday in the Surro.
gates court This was in pursuance OF a
decision recently handed down by Surro-
gate Fowler, in which the status of Mrs.
Green as resident of Vermont was es-
tablshed
The state comptroller says that the busi-
ness activity of Mrs Green was based
upon the principle that her loans should
be absolutely safe and that she should
be in position to take advantage of con.
ditions which arise in the New York mon.
ey market when large profits may be
made due to enhanced rates of interest i'll
time of great money stress.
For this purpose she held large amounts
of liquid capital When the European
war broke out, the brief continues, the
city of New York was obliged to pay
6 per cent for its loans and Mrs. Green
was able to loan to the city from mel
own bank deposits and those of the West
minister company, which she controlled
several millions at this interest, "a mos'
unusual rate for the city of New York II
pay" being the appended comment. Mrs
Green also held a note of the Trinity
| church corporation for 100000, the brie
| adds. The specific amount Mrs. Greer
I loaned the city was not mentioned.

Caught In Raging Storm
and Captain Could Not
Control Her
TWELVE PERSONS
WERE DROWNED
Most of the 25 Passengers on Board
Were Able to Escape-Seven Mem
bers of Crew Lost - Steamer Had
Been Riding Storm Well.


MUSHROOM, Mich, Oct. 2s.-Ten
persons lost their lives this morning
when the Crosby liner City of Muske-
gon, formerly the City of Holland,
while trying to make the harbor here
struck the south pier at Muskegon
channel and was smashed to pieces in
four minutes Three of the victims were
passengers, the remaining being men,
bers of the crew. There were about 25
passengers aboard but the vessel lay
against the pier SO that most of them
were able to make their way to safety.
The City of Muskegon left Milwau-
kee in clear weather last evening but
was caught in a raging northwester
that struck Lake Michigan early th.o
morning. Riding the storm well Cap
tain Edward Miller decided it was SAT-
er to attempt to make the harbor than
to turn about. Just as the bow of the
vessel came into the channel big wave
caught it and smashed the craft against
the end of the pier.
Later reports indicated that the death
list had reached IL persons and might
reach 20. The bodies of four men and
three women have been washed ashore
and the beach for miles is being pa.
troled for additional victims.
Most of the passengers were caught
in their state rooms when the crash
came. The lights went out and the
screams of women passengers added te
the confusion. The majority of tn,
passengers escaped by jumping from
the deck to the pier.

PART OF MINERS
WOULD NOT STRIKE
C Confidential Reports from
Coal Fields Indicate This
Officials of United Mine
Workers Seize Upon the
Presidents Veto of Pro-
hibition to Support Their
Contention That War
Emergency Has Passed

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Hope was
expressed in official quarters today that
the soft coal strike set for Saturday
would be postponed, if not called off.
Announcement that John l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, had summoned the men,
bers of the full scale committee to meet
the international executive board at
Indianapolis tomorrow was accepted as
an indication that President Wilson s
command to the miners organization
not to plunge the country into indus
trial chaos might be needed.
In full belief that officers of the in
ternational body who ordered the strike
have the power to stop it government
officials awaited the next step which
must come from the miners.
Confidential reports from the central
coal field territory indicated, it was
said, that not all of the mining army
of more than half million men would
quit work. Steps to be taken by the
government to deal with the strike il
it takes place will be considered finally
today at meeting of the cabinet.

Seize on Presidents Veto.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 2s.-Presi-
dent Wilson's veto of the prohibition
enforcement bill yesterday was ad-
vanced today by officials of the United
Mine Workers of America here as an
argument in favor of their contention
that the war emergency was passed and
that the miners, therefore, are no long
er bound by wage agreement entered
into for the continuation of the war.
1t is hoped, they said, that the ac-
tion will swing public opinion their way
and aid in securing their demands for
a 3O-hour week and so per cent in
crease IN pay, failure of which has re.
suited in an order for a strike of all
soft coal miners on Nov. l.

MONTPELIER, Oct. %.
Evidence tending to show that there had
been trouble on Saturday night, May 3,
in Hotel Buzzell opposite to the Wheelock
garden where the body of Mrs. Broadwell
was found and that the body had been
dragged over a wire fence and across the
ground from that direction was offered
by the defense in the Long murder trial
today. This evidence was rendered to
offset the claim of the state that the
crime was committed in the Parker house
which duplicates Long.
The defense used Albert A. Sargent,
grand juror of Barre City, to show the
character ef the ground in the garden,

He also testified to seeing blood on vari-
GUS objects in the Fraser room in the

dried blood from a gravel walk and turn

The witness was examined sharply by
Attorney General Archibald, who laid
stress on whether or not he was making
the investigation in his Official capacity"
The claim of the state in the testimony
of Gabrielle Bianchi that there was no

when peace had been declared and
when the army and navy had been de-
mobilized.
Congress was Informed late yester-
day by the President in his message
vetoing the prohibition enforcement
bill that rehabilitation of the army
and navy had been completed. The
White House announcement clears up
any doubt as to whether the war would
be ended legally with the ratification
of the German treaty. Some officials
had expressed the opinion that the war
emergency would not pass until the
treaty with Austria had been acted up
on by the senate.
President Wilson vetoed late yester-
day afternoon the Volstead bill TO en-
force war time prohibition and consti-
tutional prohibition as well on the
ground that the measures should be sep
arated and that he could not approve
| the enforcement of war time prohibi-
tion now that the emergency which
brought it into being has actually
passed, if not technically.

Technical Question Causes
Temporary Suspension
of Business
WHITTEMORE CASE
OFF FOR THIS TERM
Counsel for Knapp and Taylor Raise
Law Question Over Service of Papers
and Counsel for Whittemore Decides
to Discontinue.

TO OlSCOQt1Que.
Business in Windham county court at
Newfane came to a sudden halt late
yesternoon afternoon on account of a
technical question raised, and this fore
noon the court was idle.
The halt came during the taking of
testimony in the case of Constable Bert
A. Whittemore of Guilford against Con-
stable Chauncey |. Knapp and Linn D.
Taylor of Brattleboro, counsel for the
defendants moving that the court dis
miss the case because of alleged illegal
service.
This is suit to recover some automo-
biles or their value and grows out of the
judgment against Barney E. Mead, for
merly of Brattleboro, who has been in
Florida for some time
Mrs. Eert Stone of Brattleboro vas
fatally injured while a passenger in an
| automobile driven by Mr.. Mead, which
was taken from Mr.. Mead's garage.
Frank L. Wellman, who later became
sheriff, was made administrator of the
estate.
Mr.. Wellman brought suit for damages
and Clifford E. Mann, who was then
sheriff, attached several cars which were
in Mr.. Mead's garage and placed them
| in the Mosher garage for safe keeping.
The damage case went through the
courts and resulted in heavy damages
against Mr.. Mead. Mr.. Wellman mean
while had become sheriff, SO when his
counsel issued an execution against the
cars the papers were given to Constable
Whittemore. He was unable to locate
them, as they had been taken by Consta-
BILE Knapp and sold on the foreclosure
of mortgage held by Mr.. Taylor.
| Constable Whittemore then brought an
action in trover against Knapp and Tay
lor, and the papers in this action were
given to Sheriff Wellman to serve.
| This action came up in county court
yesterday afternoon and a jury was
drawn. Much of the plaintiffs evidence
had been put in, when the deefnse moved
that the action be dismissed on the
ground that the service of the papers by
Sheriff Wellman in the action brought
by Constable Whittemore made the ac-
tion invalid.
The court made no ruling, but took a
recess that the matter might be further
considered. and today counsel for the
plaintiff, in view of the fact that the
technical question doubtless would go
to the supreme court, decided to discon-
tinue the case and re-enter it for the
next term of court.
Barber, Barber & Miller are counsel
for the plaintiff and w. r. Daley and f.
w. Gibson for the defendants.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-An effort
to have the senate act on motion to
repass the prohibition enforcement bill
over President Wilson S veto was made
soon after the senate convened today.
Several Democrats objected and long
parliamentary wrangle over the rules
ensued.
When the bill was received from the
house Senator Sterling, Republican of
North Dakota, who had charge of the
measure when it passed the senate
asked unanimous consent for its i'm
mediate consideration. Senator Robin
son, Democrat of Arkansas objected
and then Senator Sterling moved that
the senate which was in open executive
session for debate on the peace treaty
proceed to legislative business.
Objection to laying aside the treaty
was made by Senator Hitchcock OF
Nebraska, the administration leader
who has opposed prohibition measures
in the past. Although Senator Sterling
said he was sure the bills disposition
would require but a very short tim'
Senator Hitchcock urged that debat'
on the treaty continue, declaring th'
people were beginning to believe th
senate was deliberately delaying th
treaty.
