report yesterday to Justice CaIlaghan

mending that a contr>ct for the sale OF

that a purchaser named Grace T..
O'Brien had agreed to take the property
for $20,50o. and had made a deposit of
$4,000 to bind the sale. MIR. Clark asked
that the $4,000 be put in custody of the
court until the matter has been adjudi-
Gated.

Z. O'Brien was stenographer in the
office of Henry G. Martin, and that a
letter agreeing to buy the property was
written by her at Martins dictation.
He ascertained further, he said, that a
contract had been drawn for the resale
of the property by Miss O'Brien to an
other purchaser for the sum of $4,000.
The contract by which Martin was
employed as broker to arrange for the
sale was made December 90, 1920. ac-

all in Supreme Court at about that time.
Later a request was made to have the

"What I did say was that persons

HAMBURG AMERICAN
DIRECTOR ARRIVES.
Comes to Perfect Agreement
for Taking Over the
German Lines.

DR.. William Cuno. director-general OF
tine Hamburg American Line. arrived
here yesterday on the Holland-America
liner Rotterdam to confer with W. Aver
ell Hartman and his associates con-
corning the agreement entered into for
the taking over Of the German lines.
Il have come TO America in order TO
discuss with Mr.. Hartman and his asso-
ciates. with whom we have been work
ing hand in hand for nearly twelve
months on terms OF the utmost cor
diality, questions touching the practical
details of our agreement" DR.. Cuno said.
Il contracted this agreement last year
because of my settled conviction that the
United States and Germany, for the sake
of their mutual interest. were bound TO
cooperate with each other. and this is
also at the bottom of my conviction re-
garding the assistance which the UnNed
States might give in the reparations
questions still at issue"
DR.. Cuno would not amplify his state
ment.
The man who came nearest OF all to
that ambition OF all allied and American
soldiers, to shoot the Kaiser, was also
on board the Rotterdam. He is Conrad
van Pelt, q Dutch soldier, on duty at the
German frontier when Wilhelm and his
retinue arrived hastily from Germany.
Van Pelt fred several shots at one OF the
motor cars. punctlring its tires, when
the procession failed to halt at his chai-
lenge. This stopped them, and Van Pelt
held up the German Emperc- and En-
press and their friends until the officer
of the guard and higher officials ap-
peared. questioned the German exiles
and gave them permission TO enter Hol-
land. Van Pelt did not see the Kaiser
personally.
Also on board the Rotterdam was MIS-.
c. Haddon Chambers. wife of the Eng
lish author. who died recently In Eng

First Time in Five Years

TOR the first time in five years
: a period of twenty-four hours
passed yesterday without the
registration of single death in
Bellevue Hospital. A total of
1,400 patients were receiving
treatment in the hospital during
the period. The twenty-four
hours ended at 10 o'clock last

the seriousness of most of the
cases brought to Bellevue for
treatment. The patients include
persons suffering from gunshot
wounds and emergency cases re-
Isulting from automobile and
other accidents.
