Dresden Off Brazil, Brought

New York.—Narratives of the sink
ing of the Houston Line steamer Hya
des (British.) outside Pernambuco on
August 16th by the German cruiser
Dresden, reached New York today
with the arrival here of the steamer
Hylas from Liverpool. Among her
crew were several sailors who had
been aboard the Hyades, they said
that while the Hyades was in port at
Pernambuco the time of her depart
ure was made known to the Dresden.
When the Hyades reached the open
sea she was stopped by the Dresden.
The Hyades’ crew was taken off and
after a prize crew had removed what
they thought most desirable the Dres
den’s guns sent the Hyades to the
bottom.
According to Chief Steward Douglas
Duncan of the Hylas, It required
forty-three shots fired at a range of
less than half a mile to send the ship
to the bottom. Ten shots were fired
by the Germans, he said, before they
succeeded in hitting the boat and the
eleventh struck an awning spar.
The crew after being taken from the
Hyades were placed aboard the Ham
burg-Ameriean Line Steamship Prus
sia and sent to Rio Janeiro. On land
ing all their personal belongings that
had been taken from them were re
stored.

Mrs. Gertrude Pike, who lured
Katon to arrest, tokl the police that
Katon had telephoned to her demand
ing SSOO for jewels stolen from her
apartment on Riverside drive a few
days before. She had met him at a
fashionable New York hotel, she said,
when a woman friend Introduced him

Death-Bed Talk.
Katon. apparently about to die, had

By day Katon was private secretary

model young man with good social
connections.
