Effect attractive beyond I description. a BABY AND NURSE i MISSING 15 HOURS Police of Borough Searched Wildly for Williamsburg Child and Servant. PARENTS NEARLY FRANTIC- Enfant and Nurse Found at 4 A.M.

Asleep Under Stairway in Myrtle Avenue. The mysterious disappearance yesterday afternoon of a 6-months-old Infant and her nurse from the "Williamsburg section kept the police and detectives of the entire district busy trying to local their whereabouts. The strange similarity of the case to one that happened in Manhattan several weeks ago sug-gpated the possibility that the nurse girl was demented, nnd that the life of the hild was In danger. Fears for the infant's safety exerted tho police to their utmost efforts, and after a detailed anarch of the district the nurse and child were finally located at 4 o'clock this morning in the shadow of an elevated station at Myrtle avenue-and Broadway. The child was returned to Its frantic mother and the nurse was held at the Hamburg avenue police station for an examination as to her sanity.

It was shortly after noon yesterday that Bessie Rosenblatt, 28 years old, em ployed for two months as a nurse for the family of Harry Wortis. a prominent Jeweler of the Eastern district, with a store at 24 Grand street, asked Mrs. Wortis if she could take the 6-months-old daughter Bess out for a walk. As the day vas an ldpal oue Mrs. Wortis did not demur.

Some hours passed by, and nelthef child nor nurse returned. At first Mrs. Wortis thought they were In the immediate neighborhood, but when the chii4 was not brought in for its afternoon bail the mother became alarmed and went out to make a personal search. But her efforts were nut rewarded. Frightened, she told her husband of the non-appearance of the two.

The husband decided to make a search hfmaeir. Hy this rime neighbors had learned of tho disappearance mid they became, nearly as excited as the father and mother, Kvery possible clue or piece of Informal Ion was followed up, but their whereabouts could not be ascertained. Tiie father, nww.h alarmed, hurried to the Bedford avenue police station to report the case aud have a general alarm gent out. The police lieutenant sent tho word throughout the whole of Brooklyn and soon the en ire police force was on the lookout for a pair that would tally with the piven description. Night, fell, but still no word about the two.

The mothpr became hysterical nnd the services of a doctor were required. The father had become frantic stricken a ci the neighbors were much worried. Nurse and Baby Found Alsleep Under Stairs. It was about 3:30 o'clock 1his morning that, the two were finally located by tho police. Policeman Connolly of the ifam-bui avenue station was making his louuds near the junction of Myrtle avenue and Broadway when his attention was attracted to what seemed a woman sleeping in the shadow of the elevated flairs.

He went over to arouse the woman and found to his Kur prise that she had a child In her arms which she held tightly to her breast. The policeman aroused her, and hla questionings re caled the fact that the two were tho ones for whom the general rail had been pent out. The nurse, however, could giv mi satisfactory explanation of her absence. He took them to the police station and placed them tn the hands of the matron. Mr.

Wortis was reached on the telephone rr.d the finding of the lor ones communicated to hlrn. The father nrrlvpd post haste and with great Joy returned home with hla child. y. con vr, 1 AugUFt PJoso, f'lunt'fi'. Joseph Pu lad Inn, and oiht s.

April pilWhP B. SMITIt, Ppfer. Kfnngham L. H-dywrit. Attorney, OF HARVESTER CASE Preparing Answer to Attack i That He Held Up Suit I Mgainst tne i rusi.

i WILL HAVE GOOD DEAL TO SAY Bonaparte Says Matter Was Submitted to Cabinet Delay Due to Knox Inquiry. "I haven't begun to light," seid Colonel Roosevelt. When the colonel read the morning papery he decided to begin to fight. He telegraphed to New York for his secretary, and for his records dealing with the International Harvester Company. He said that he would give out tonight a statement of his position In relation to the Harvester company, taking up In detail the matter referred to in the letters published this morning.

Colonel Roosevelt In the meantime would make no comment and said that he regarded the matters as one which he should give his most careful attention and lhat he could say nothing until he hud the case thoroughly in hand. He added that there was a good deal to be said. George W. Perkins Issued the following statement today: "Mr. Perkins said that the letters of President Roosevelt and Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith stated the facta as he recollects them, and he is very glad.

Indeed, that they were given out. He expressed great regret, however, that the present administration has not seen fit to give out alrto all the other correspondence and iniervlews from 1HD4 down to date, especially those covering the past year, as the public Is entitled to know all the facts." Bonaparte's Explanation. Baltimore, April 25 Respecting President Roosevelt's letter to Attorney General Bonaparte directing the latter to withhold the anti-trust suit against the International Harvester Company, contained in the correspondence sent to the Senate yesterday by Ihe Department of JuBtics, Mr. Bonaparte said the action was withheld pending the result of an investigation ot the harvester company by the Bureau ot Corporations, being made at the instance of the Senate. Former Attorney General Bonaparte said: "The letter In question was written while 1 was absent from Washington and while an Investigation by the Department of Justice was in progress In regard to the affairs of the harvester trust, but before any report had been made to the department or auy decision reached by It.

"Several months later, after the de-pariment had received a full report from Its representative, a Mr. Townsend, I announced to the President that I was ready to institute a suit for the dissolution of lie harvester trust. It was then a3cer-latued that the Bureau of Corporations had not yet completed Its Investigation of the same Harvester trust (wnieh it was conducting by direction of a resolution of the Senate), and the matter being submitted to the Cabinet, It was decided that the suit should await the conclusion of Mr. Herbert Knox Smith's lnciulry. "ll was supposed then that this would cause but a short delay.

The inquiry lasted, however, not only during the remaining year ot Mr. Roosevelt's adminis tration, but during some three years of Mr. Tatt's. and, so far as-1 know, not finished yet. "The President's letter of August.

did- not in any wise delay or affect tho action of the Department of Justice, ami when I told I thought the suit should be undertaken, vhlch was probably Ave or six months later, he Immediately acquiesced. The only Impediment was the discovery that. Mr. Smith's inquiry was still unfinished and his (Mr. Smith') statement that he could not complete It It the suit should be brought." Washington, April 25 Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations, to-ihiy would discuss the correspondence made public yesterday, In which he vrots President Moosevelt In 1907, concerning the prosecution of the International Company.

"The ielters speak for themselves." declared Mr. Smith. "I have nothing to say." ALMOST BLOWN FROM TRAIN. Bellmore, L. April "3 Harry Weeks, a news agent connected with the Long Island News Company, had a narrow escape from Injury Tuesday afternoon, when he, with papers and boxes he had In his arms, was nearly blown from the car of Long Island train at Bellmore.

The papers were blown about 60 feet off Into Ihe oradway. Weeks managed to hop from the train, gather the papers together and finally catch-the car as It was pulling out of the station. He jumped to the rear of the last car and resumed his place on the train. LEGAL NOTICES. mrNTY i -or nr.

GIVEN A BRAND NEW "BABY." Kind Flatbuah Family Cares for Mother and Child Who Survived Wreck. This 1b the story of the TltUnlc disaster as seen through the eyes of a little Blrl Margaret Collyer, of Bishops Stoke, England, 8 years old, who was saved with her mother and has now found refuge In the home of Dr. J. A. De Tlenne, 1475 Glenwood road, Flatbush.

Margaret's father, Harvey, Is one of the 1,600 miss ing, but she has beeu kept in ignorance of his fate. The Collyers were on their way to the West to rear their home anew and win their way In the land of great opportunities. The father and hUBband had sold his store In England, and had all his Bar ings with him in a belt when he was lost. Margaret Is living In dally expectation that she will see "papa's" face again, and her one poignant grief is that her doll a great big dollle, with eyes that could open and tint perished with tne Bteam snip. She has a new doll now.

Its name I is Eleanor, and It 1b Just about as large as the waxen baby of which little Mar garet was bereft, but vf course it never could be quite the same as the old love Margaret is a soft-bpoken, soft-voiced with brown hair and a sweet face She Is too young to appreciate the full horror of what she has been through, and tier voice reflected nono of the terrors of that awful night as she told what she re membered frankly and simply. "My father had a store at Bishops Stoke up on the hill," she said. "He sold it to get money to go to America. and one day he took me on his knee and said: 'Margaret, how should you like to go to I said 1 should like it very much. I dltln know much about Amer ica and I was very much excited.

"It was on a Wednesday we took the train to Southampton. Some of our friends were at the station to flee us go, and some of them saw us off on the boat, I didn't think there was any boat In the world as bit? as the Titanic. "There was a little girl on the ship I used to play with. We skipped rope together and threw a rubber ball up and down the stalr3. Her name was Bertha Watt.

I don't know where Bertha is now. "The night the Titanic hit the iceberg I was asleep. It was about 11 o'clock I didn't feel the bump, but the ship started bank like a train and I heard my mother say to my father that she guessed the works had stopped. He dressed himself and went on deck. Cried for Dollie Left Behind.

"I could hear feet on the decks. The boat sepmod to have stopped. Then mother dressed me. took me by the hand and led me upstairs. She was In her nightdress and I didn't have all my clothes on.

1 had a big dollie that I got two Chrlstmases before, and we were In such a hurry that I left that behind. I cried for my dollie, but we couldn't go back. "When we got on deck, father was there, going along the decks and trying to see the Iceberg. But it had floated away. eH said that ome men had been playing cards when the ship, hit the ice.

and that all their cards fell orr the floor, but they picked them up and went right on with their game. "The decks were full of people. Soma of them were crying. An officer said we should all put on life preservers, and my mother put one on me and then fastened one around herself. Papa put one on.

too. Iwas crying for my dolly, but nobody could go back and get her. Then some body said that we should all get In the boats and two men lifted me up and put me In a boat. My father raised me in his arms and kissed me and then he kissed my mother. She followed me Into the boat.

"The women in one of the other boats jjaid they wanted somebody to row for mem ana my iauier got in tiiHt uum. "The stars were shining and it was Just like day. Some sailor put a rug around my mother to keep her warm. There were so many In our boat that we naa to bu tin all the time. Nobody could lie down.

My mother was so close to one of the sailors with the oars that sometimes the oar caught in her hair and took big pieces of It out. Saw Officer Shoot Man Who Jumped in Lifeboat. "There was one ofllcer In our boat who had a pistol. men jumped into the boat on lop of the women and crushed them and the officer said that If they didn't stoD he would shoot. Another man Jumped and ho shot him.

My mother says I called out 'Don't mil i aon i remember It. "The sailors had to row fast to get away from the ship. We could hear the hanri nlaving. but we didn't see the mu sicians. Only when we left all the peo ple on the decks were Itnetiiing down, praying, while the band played 'Nearer, Mv God) to Thee." 'tt'hMi the band finished one of the musicians Jumped Into a boat with his instrument and I guess ho got away.

'While we were rowing away we neara a lot of people crying nnd the women In our boat, asked the omcer wnat inai noise was. He said that the people on-the decks were singing. saw the Titanic go up in me aar before she sank and she looked ever so tlfC. xl "When we got a nitie way on anouier bont came near us and an officer on our boat Baid he truesed he would go back to tho wreck In it. I don t.

Know wno ne was but he put some of the people from ti, other boat in ours and got iu that. Then he went back with some sailors and pulled six men into the boat. "We rowed around for seven hours, All the time I 'was frightened a whole lot and sometimes I cried. I cried hardest when I thought of my dollie back there in the water with nobody to mind it and keep It from getting wet. 'The women in the boat lust sat up ami didn't say anything.

We were all very tired and cold when we saw a big light. Somebody said It was a boat, but 1 thought It was Just a star. Hut It kept setting bigger ami bigger r.nd then we saw that It w-as a boat. Then all tho sailors rowed hard. Says Boat With Father Didn't Reach Carpathia.

"We had to slr-ep on the floor on the new ship and It wasn't so nice as it was on the Titanic, but everybody was very Kind to us. We thought papaould be there but the boat he was on didn't get to the ship." Child and Mother Offered a Home by Flatbush Family. The Do Tienues heard of the plight "if Margate; and her molhrr and at once offered them home. They are warmhearted Westerners, who believe thoroughly in man's duty to his neighbor, and thty were glad of the opportunity to be of assistance to someone In Collyer bus been very III since the disaster, and could not be seen today. The news that husband was among the miss'ng was first broken to her last night, nnd it prostrated her.

Since Margaret come to Glenwood road all the neighbors' children hove taken a huge interest in the tiny survivor, and when they heard she had no dullle all the little girls in the offered to provide her with a new cue. There never was fl handsomer (loll in all Klatbush Eleanor. Margaret's new care, in nlevlng with her she forgets tho terrible hours on the onen sea as a child nifKht forgot a nightmare when her mother comes into the room. Interesting Developments in Suit to Foreclose $90,000 Mortgage on Wliitestone Property. That the members of a New Haven Vindicate known as the Malba Land Company of Connecticut were mulcted to the tune ot $200,000 as the result of a "conspiracy" on the part of the officers of the Realty Trust of New York, Is the burden of the defense offered before Justice Crane, In SpecIaV Term of the Supreme Court, Queens County, In the' suit to foreclose a $30,000 mortgage, now being tried.

The mortgage is against the 107 acres at Whitestone, L. which was purchased by the New Haven speculators for purposes of development. Lawyer Samuel Evans Maires of 44 Court street, who opposed the foreclosure in behalf 'of the Malba Land Company, by the testimony of witnesses and the Introduction of documentary evidence, Beeks to establish that fraud had been perpetrated on his clients by the officers of the Realty Trust. The latter, while supposedly acting as the agents of the New Haven investors represented, it is alleged, the lowest price to be $550,000, which was paid. Mr.

Maires charged tbat the Realty Trust officers, through a dummy, Charles S. Conklin, one of their bookkeepers, had purchased the property for $350,000, and that Instead of giving their alleged clients the benefit of that price, had charged $550,000 the rock-bottom figure, and had put the difference In the trust treasury. Vice President William S. Champ of the Realty Trust was called to the stand by Lawyer Maires. He identified several trustee accountings to the Surrogate as having been made by him, and gave testimony to the effect that the Realty Trust, through Bookkeeper Conklin, had taken title to the property in Whitestone for a consideration of 000, not mentioned In the deed, and that It was the same property which the New Haven men bought for $550,000.

The Connecticut financiers secured title from Conklin, raised $250,000 In cash, which was paid to the Realty Trust, and gave Conklin a mortgage of $300,000 as part of the purchase money. They also gave 1 a mortgage of $90,000 to reimburse the Realty Trust for services and other valuable aid. Conklin assigned the mortgage to William R. Crowe, a clerk in Treasurer Smith's office, and the latter figured as the plaintiff against the Malba Land Company in the action to have the mortgage foreclosed. Samuel R.

Avis of New Haven, the moving spirit In the subscription campaign among New Haven buBlneRs men, testified yesterday. He is president of the Malba Land Company, and headed several development speculation schemes In which, large tracts of Brooklyn real estate were involved. A considerable part of that business he has done through the Realty Trust, or, to be more precise, Charles S. Conklin, who usually appeared as the owner of record when big deals were put through. Former Supreme Court Justice Leventrltt, who cross-examined Mr.

Avis, In behalf of the Realty Trust, drew from him admissions that he had received some very fat "bonuses" from hte corporation for organizing syndicates and getUii- people Interested In land deals. Mr. Avis told' how he. Noble Bl Bishop George R. Lewis, Davtd A'ling1 and George Maycock.

all of New Haven, Incorporated the Malba Land Company in 3906, and paid In cash to the Realty Trust, after Anthony M. Klegg, the trust's promoter, had offered to let him and his neighbors "in on a good thing." There were meetings in the Music Hall in Now Haven, and men with money to invest got quite enthusiastic over the Idea as set forth by Mr. Klegg. Things went along nicely until the Realty Trust kept reminding the Malba Land Company at very frequent intervals that they owed money, and should pay promptly. Then a blanket mortgage for $25,000 to pay certain expenses was suggested.

Interest payments on the $90,000 mortgage ceased eventually, and the foreclosure suit followed. Avis also testified that it was not until April 2 of this year that he learned the property had been bought by the Realty Trust, and resold to the Malba Land Company, at an advance of In when, so he alleged, the Realty TruBt was supposed to have been the agent of the Malba corporation. This information, he testified, was given him by Lawyer 'Maires In his law office at Court street. It was said that several scores of witnesses had been subpenaed, and that many ot them will be called on to testify. If these witnesses are used the case will occupy several court days in Specia Term.

Numerous checks, drafts, deeds, accountings, affidavits and letters have been offered in evidence to augment the oral testimony. 0 BROOKLYN COURTS SUPREME COURT. Special term for motions, Friday, April 3912. Present: Famuel T. Maddux, Justice.

CAPTAIN STOPPED VESSEL Said Could Not Endanger Lives of Those on Board by Penetrating Ice Floes. Btrthcon. Alherta, Canada, April 25 E. W. Zurich, who cropaed from Antwerp to St.

John, on the Canadian Pacific Railway steamer Mount Temple, has made a Rtatement here concerning what was observed from the Mount Temple at sea the Sunday night the Titanic went down. According to Mr. Zurich, passengers on board the Mount Temple heard of the Titanlc's distress at 12:15 o'clock Monday morning, when a wireless call for help was eaught. Captain Moore changed his vessel's course at once and headed for the Titanic' lifeboats being swung from davits meanwhile, and other preparations being made for lending assistance. The northern course was not held long, however, says Mr.

Zurich, because a great field of Ice loomed up ahead. It was reported among crew" and passengers, according to Mr. Zurich, that Captain Moore made no further efforts to penetrate the floes, asserting that he could not atford to take tho risk of endangering the two thuusand souls aboard his ship. The statement of Dr. Quitzman to the effect thcit passengers and crew believed thfy could see the lights of the unfortu-nale Titanic is borne out by Mr.

Zurich. With two companion passengers he disobeyed the "captain's orders, which forbade passengers entrance to the upper deck at any time. He is fairly positive that they saw the masts of the Titanic, and he says he Is not ready to accept 'the assertion that their ship was at least Tony miles from the wrecked liner at the time. At any rate, he thinks the Mount might have reached the spot before the Titonlc sank, ana this supposition, he says, stems to have been entertained by others on board. Their vessel lighted the Carpathia next morning, Mr.

Zurich says, nnd, keeping in touch with wireless communications to land, they were conversant with tho lnH WI" that tha Mount Temple sighted Jmmenae fields of lee during Sunday end Monday.
