to Hanson.
The operator did so. AT the rate
the Esthonia had been travelling. it
should reach the vicinity of the Gron-
toft about p. M, but four miles was
all the staggering steamship could
make in the first hour on the new
course. The engines were driving
ahead under forced draft, but the wind
and waves cxcrted tremendous pressure
and at intervals the screw was hoisted
clear OF the water while the vessel
tremblcd and lost headway.
Another S. O. S was received from
the Grontoft at II o'clock. When he
had sent it, the freghter's wireless
operator remarked to the universe:
Sandwiches for Lifehoats
well, the steward is making sand
wiches for the lifeboats. Looks like we
were going on picnic
This in the face OF q storm in which
no small boat could survive five min
utes, even If it reached the water
right side up
The Esthonia drove on at better
pace now and Hanson sent an en-
couraging message to the operator of
the Grontoft. At 1880 the skipper of
that doomed vessel having other things
than the wireless to occupy his mind,
his operator took up the conversation
on his own hook.
THE old wagon has list like run
down heel" he confided to Hanson with
the utmost cheerfulness "This is no
weather to be out without an UNI
brella."
Hold on; we'll be alongside soon"
was the rejoinder of Hanson. who was
unable to view the situation with the
equanimity Of his conferec
Silence settled down in the ether ex-
cept for occasional mutterings from
far off operators, who gave astounding
statistics as to the height and breadth
of waves they had observed and wanted
Hanson to tell them what his square
headed skipper thought he could do in
such a sea if he did find the Grontoft.
Hanson was in no mooo FOR such
comments, and made no answer. He
was waiting for the next message from
the blithe lad on the upper deck of the

by the captain of the freighter.
1--WE are sinking stern first" it ran.
"The decks are awash. The boats are
smashed. Can't hold out any longer"
The man who sent it seemed to feel
that it was slightly out of tune He
wished to make it clear that it was the
shippers message, not his.
THE skipper dictated that" said he
TO Hanson. He ought to know.
"Where did | put my hat? Sorry we
couldn't wait for you. Pressing bust
ness elsewhere. Skoal!"
That was the end, The operator,
alone in his deckhouse, and his fellows,
clinging to the rails or the derrick
mast at the wheel or fleeing from the
flooded depths of the engine room, went
to the pressing business-elsewhere

The White Star liner Olympic, which
has boon turned over to the command
of Captain A. +. S. Hamblcton, camc to
port yesterday after an unusually
rough passage, and landed her psssen-
gers shortly after dark Despite the
heavy gale that blew from the West,
Captain Hambclton handled the big
liner with exceptional skill. When re-
leased from Quarantine at $40 p. N.
he headed scaward and made perfect
turn off Gravosend Bay. The gale had
not abated when she came abcam the
pier. but with the aid Of few tugs
and the vessels four screws the skip
per warped her into dock within a half
hour after her arrival at tho picrhead.
AS she lay at Quarantine the Olym-
pic was surrounded by seven tugs char
tered by photographers and motion pic
turc representatives who were desirous
of getting films and pictures of the
wedding of Princess Mary.
The ships officers. to avoid customs
regularities, announced that no pic
lures would be given over TO claim
ants until the liner docked, but after a
consultation with the customs officials.
including Deputy Collector Stuart and
Elmer Dover, Assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury, it was decided to have
the films examined and passed down
the Bay and turned over to the owners
after the duties on them had been
paid
In the second cabin of the Olympic
were Samuel and William Cation, turf
mon, of Cleveland, who were made pris-
oners by the Soviet government of Rus

before Justice Tsidorc Wasscrvogel.
Justice WasscrvogeI fixed the date yes
tcrday on motion of Assistant District
Attorney Ferdinand Pecora, following
sel for Rickard, TO dismiss the indict-
ment Justice WasservoVel took the
notion, made by Mr.. Stcucr, under ad-
visemont.
Mr.. Stcuer based his motion on the
ground that illegal evidence was pro-
duced before the grand jury which in
dictcd Richard and that the legal evil
dence produced was insufficient to war
rant the Indictment
A motion made by Mr.. Pccora called
for special panel Of 200 talcsmen
from which the Jurors will be drawn.
Mr.. Steuer told the court that
through an error of clerk employed
in his office the subpoena served on
District Attorney Banton on Wcdnes-
day to produce the minutes of the
grand jury tomorrow had been made
rcturnable in Part I, Special Term, Su-
prcmc Court, instead of in the crimi-
nal branch before Justice WasservoRel.
There was no intention of obtaining
the grand jury minutes by II rusc. he
said
Regarding the motion made for dis
missal of the Indictment Mr. Stcucr
said: III desire to make this motion
because | am convinced that illegal owl
dcncc was presented to the grand jury
and that such legal evidence rs was
produced before that body was INSULT
cicnt on which to predicate an lndict-
mcnt. want to make this motion be-
cause ! want to conserve all Of the de-
fcndant's rights. This defendant il not
going to be put in any position either
by the court or by anybody else, where
by he can later say that l neglected to
do every lawful thing in his defense.
If your honor denies this motion. 7
want you to sign an order to the
effect that you have denied it after an
exam mnation of the grand jury min
utes."
Mr.. Stcuer said later that he had
asked the court to do this 50 that in
the event Of Richards conviction the
Court would have before it
the minutes Of the grand jury and
could decide if the evidence was sufil-
cicnt to indct
Justice Wasservogel told Steuer that
there was q question in his mind as
to whether Stcuer, not having seen the
minutes. could make motion of this
kind.
Assistant District Attorney Pccora
opposed the Application and said it was
only a subterfugc for delay and was
contrary to all leal procedure.
Permission was granted the District
Attorney to file papers in the case.
This permis ssion was granted with the
that Steuer be furnished
with copies of the briefs.

Two armed wstchmen were patroling
the building. Between 7 o'clock in the
evening and O'Clock in the morning
no one can enter or leave the building
without writing in a book stating who

the time he comes and goes.
1t is believed, however. by agencies
investigating the crime that the cracks

the building before o'clock and
loitered about the halls until they were
sure the office of the Riskin concern
was deserted. After the robbery tney

Mr.. Riskin $ private Office. The safe, a
small affair, had been rolled out from
its place against the wall. The door
hung open. The lining had been ripped
away and the concrete filling lay scat
tered over the carpet. Friedman ran
up stairs and notified Topls & Harding,
investigating agents for Lloyd's Insur-
ancc Company.
The thieves did tncir work, accord
ing to Friedman. with the aid of a
goose-necked desk lamp which was on
the floor. They opened the strong box
inside the safe without injuring it..
Friedman said that the robbers opened

they found in drawer in the office.
Beside the refuse lay the tools.
There were drills, "can opener" a
pair of cotton gloves, and an oil can.
Mr.. Rskin, who lives at 942 Eastern
Parkway, Brooklyn, said he did not
know exactly how mucn the loss would
