(irniiiUon'n lndl lilunllt)',
Washington, Jan. 20. Announcement
was made at the Whlto Hoixe to-day that
President Wilson's grandson will b
named Francis Sayre. Ho will have his
father's first name, but will go through
life ps his distinguished grandfather has
elected to do, without a middle name.
In official circles to-night the opinion
was expressed that the President himself
has had something to say about the nam
ing of his grandson. In the first place It
was recalled that the President told the
newspaper men It might be better If little
Mr. Sayre were left free to develop hla
own Individuality instead of riariitm out
witn tlie name or a President of the
United States.
Furthermore, the name of baby Sayre
measures up well to ono of the require
ments which Mr. Wilson believes In for a
successful name. It lends Itself readily to
abbreviation.

LOVING FINERY,
CARE OF BABIES
COST TOO MUCH
Mrs.Ifaef fner, Mother of Four
Ahaiidoned Children. Ad
mits Motive.
UNMOVED IN COURT
WHEN HELD ON RAIL
The story behind the abandonment of
Richard nnd Jlinmle Haeffner the "down
to their last cent babies," as they have
been called and the earlier desertion of
their younger brothers, Karl, IS months,
and George, 8 months. Is that of a
woman's love for tawdry finery nnd ease
that she could not have with four little
ohlldren to eaic for and clothe on her
husband's wages, Intermittent and small.
Magistrate Frcschl In the Yorkvllle
Count, who held the children's parents,
George Frederick and Jeannette Hniffner,
In J5.000 each on a chargv of abandon
ment nnd sent them to the Tombs at the
suggestion of District Attorney Irkins,
said one might read the tale in fiction,
but scarcely believe It. The wretched father
was standing before him taking the full
responsibility, and his wife was seated
close by, her head bowed. An hour before
both had heard In the Children's society
rooms that little Karl had died of bron
chial pneumonia tn December 10, Induced
probibly by the exposure In "he rain on
the night of his abandonment Nolther
had known his rato unt.l then.
Karl has been burled In potter's field.
This babe and George, the Infant, were
abandoned by th Haeffners on November
15 last year. George was found In the
hallway of 504 Kast Fifty-third street alTd
Is now In the care of the New Vork
Foundling Asylum. The biby was picked
up by a pollecinan In somebody else's per
ambulator In front of 208 Kast Fifty-seventh
street.
H.ierfner had appeared at the Children's
society yesteiday as he agreed tosdo til
night before Ills thin wife had stayed
there all night with Richard and Jlmmle.
Meanwhile, however, a reporter learned of
the death of Karl ami told the father In
Krnest.K. Coulter's presence It did not
visibly affect the parents, whatever Im
pression It produced on others, but Sunt.
Coulter Immediately called up Mr. Perkins
nnd the pair were ordered nrrested and
arraigned on n charge of ab.mdonment.
".My God," exclaimed Haeffner, "they're
not going to put us In Jail are they?"
.Slip In Sin nil nnd Thin.
Mrs. Haeffner, who is 26 years old, thin,
small and unimpressive, was dressed In
startling contrast to the good hut flashy
clothes ths.t w-r found In hr rtoin up
town. A worn broun veil completely cov
ered her hevid and face until Magistrate
Freschl ordered It t.ilnil. Hi-r three
quarter lenKth 1lue coat was older than
the black anil white plaid skirt she wore.
She wore a plain antique wedding ring
and blue silk glovis on remarkably soft
white hands.
Jeannette Halby wns the wife's maiden
name, said Haeffner. Her mother con
ducts a boarding house at Atlantic city,
where they used to go In the winter and
re;urn to the city In the summer, follow
ing the drift of trade. Haeffner hung his
head when he said he had abandoned the
first two children because his wife's health
was breaking He had reud of a child's
being picked up, he said, and suggested
that to savo her health the .two babies be
deserted.
Before the nrralgnmervt Mrs. HaclTner,
win said Vlttl declared that four
children wero too much for nny woman.
Her attitude was one of absolute In
difference. They were boyii and could
shift for themselves . It was not the
kind of a life she wanted ; they had
worn her to a shadow. That Is how
she explained It. Sho refused to speak In
court, Haeffner pleading guilty for both.
Deputy Assistant District Attorney
Spleji demanded $5,000 ball for each.
The cases will come up In General Ses
sions, hut It Is likely that the Grand
Jury will Investigate the death of tho
baby. Under section. 40-1 of the
Penal Code desertion of rhlldrcn under
14 years of age Is penal offence pun
Ishable by seven years In State, prison
Cnnie I'rora Atlantic City.
The ilai'ffnei'H came here lat July
frtvn Atlantic City nnd lived at 4.11
West Thirty-fourth strwt, paying J6 30
a week for fhieo rooms.
They moved to 63 West 100th street,
from which they departed on the nhan
donment of Karl nnd George, nnd moved
to 2138 Fifth avenue. They hail th parlor
which lioth admitted was "dandy for
dancing," n "swell placo to live." Haeff
ner worked while there too untlH on De
cember 10, ho could not pay the J3.25 n
week rent and wns threatened with evic
tion by Charles Fiedler, an auctioneer and
landlord. Then Haeffner pawned one of
his wife's J8 willow plumes for $2, asked
for another Jl to pay rent on another
room, got It and then offered all S3 for his
own back rent.
Kvlcted from there Haeffner carried his
trunk to 110 Kast 127th street. According
to F. MrCulloush, a painter, of 234 West
Twenty-third street, nt that time, Decem
ber 11, Haeffner had been getting S3 ft
day up to about tho middle of November
and then work grew slack,
The other case of abandonment of chil
dren which came to the attention of the
Children's society on Tuesday night, when
two children, Joe and John Petrowlt;!,
7 and 3 years old respectively, were found
deserted In a room in 315 Kist Houston
street, also went to court yesterday. The
father, who appeared nt tne society's
rooms yesterday, wns held for abandon
ment. EYE AND EAR WITNESS HEARD.

BRYAN'S NAME
DOffllNGO GRAFT
LURE, HE SAYS
Contractor Testifies lleor
Hinted at Sharing With
High Official.
HE NOW HKLIKVES IT
WAS ALL "BUNCOMBE"
Secretary Bryan's name was dragged
Into the Santo Domingo Inquiry yesterday,
and Its mention unnerved for 'the moment
Commissioner Phelan and his counsel,
Charles H. Strong. A witness had merely
said that William C. Beer, an attorney at
71 Broadway, had told him that "no less
a person than the Secretary of State" was
to h.ivo a share In the profit from Do.
mlnlcan contracts.
Under close examination by Mr. Strong
he said that, 'nltliouuli he believed Mr.
Beer was telling the truth at the time and
he acted on that belief, he now belleod It
to be "buncombe,'' glien out by Beer for
effect.
The witness was M K. Davis of 50
Church s.reet. a dealer In contractors'
supplies, and the conversations he de
scribed took plaea when William C. Beer
was trying to Interest him And tho Walsh
Call Company In Dominican contracts.
"Secretary Bryan's name was men
tioned In almost these words," said Mr.
Davis. "Beer said, 'My associates who
will hae a sharo In my profits out of any
work that Is done In Santo Domingo are
Mr. Glynn. Mr. Hamlll and no leSB a per
sonage In Washington than the Secretary
of State.' Whether he meant the Secre
tary of Slate himself or whether he meant
somebody of equal standing I am not sure,
but 1 took It to mean Secretary Bryan."
Mr. Glynn, tho witness said, was then
Lieutenant-Governor and Mr Hamlll wns
Congressman Hamlll-
Hegnrtled It ns Serloun.
"Did ou give that construction to his
rcu.arks, that tho money was Intended
for the Secretary cf Stato?" Inquired
Commissioner Phelan. "Remember, you
are making a very serious statement, and
you aro the first witness who has made
a reflection upon Mr. Bryan."
Mr. Davis said he regarded the Infor
mation as serious. "I do not think 1
would have gone to Banto Domlwto If I
had not thought that way," he said.
What would be tho object of reveal
ing to you tne names of the men with
whom he was associated?" Commissioner
Phelan wanted to know.
"Probably to create) a prestige In my
mind of his standing with the Admlnls
iirtllo,,," i..!d Mr. Davie. "He indicated
But these people were Interested down
thcro privately In very large tracts of
cedar and other land and that If file Gov
ernment would build state roads nnd rail
roads It would make the value of their
land higher, and he was colng to attempt
to colonize these private lands from some
foreUn country "
Finally Mr Strong said to the witness.
"As It strikes you now you think It Is
Just silly rof"
"Yes, sir,'' replied Mr. Davli, "bun
combe." He said th Walsh-Call company did
not go In on this deal becAUse. they would
have nothing to do with the graft fea
ture of It.
Mitchell' GnldlliK Hand.
The story of how Minister Sullivan was
guided In his olllcial acts In Santo Do
mingo by F. J. It. Mitchell, president of
tho Banco Naclonal, which Institution, It
has been said, was organized as part of a
si-hemo to exploit the country, came to
the Commissioner yesterday In tho affi
davit of F. Jean H. Hestres.
Hestres was Mr. .Mitchell's Interpreter
and stenographer and prepared for Min
ister Sullivan his otllclal report to Secre
tary Bryan, he said.
"Mitchell was present during the prep
aration of this report," according to the
ntlldavlt, "and was asked by Sullivan If
rach point was properly covered, as the
report was being dictated.
"Mitchell practically dictated and domi
nated everything that was done hy the
American Minister, giving mo and other
employees of the bank, and In fact every
one with whom I ever talked, that was
cognizant of tho facts, tho Impression
ami It so bi-c.ime generally undirstood and
believed ill Santo Domingo that there
existed between Sullivan and tlie Banco
Narlonal crowd some private business r-
i rangemctit or qopartnershlp.
i "Sullivan's account In 'the bank was
' frequently overdrawn anil his overdrafts
I wore referred to Mitchell, who ordered
I them paid.
I "I furlher know that Sullivan, In his
endeavor to make It appear that the
, Bordas Government was aotlng rightly.
1 made arrangements for myself and rtve
I other members of the force of the Banco
Nackinal to be election observers and to
report In favor of tho Bordas Govern
ment "
llnlr llrynii's lnqnlrr.
In regard to Henry S. Dickey, the
Bryan envoy, who was sont to Investigate
the Public Works Department, Hestres
pnld that to his knowledge Dickey had
"never Investigated anything personally
except In the manner outlined by Sullivan
and Mitchell."
Additional evidence that Minister Sulli
van was In part at least responsible for
the 1913 Dominican revolution wag fur
nished yesterday by O, C Baker, un engi
neer, 570 West 183d street.
"The leasing of the railroad was laid to
Sullivan's doors," he said, "and that
started the revolution."
"The revolution that he was later sent
down to Santo Domingo to quoll?" asked
Mr. Strong.
"Yes, sir."
The hearing will be continued In room
615, Waldorf-Astoria, nt 2:15 P. M to.
day, and It U expected that Kx-Oov. J.
Franklin Fort of New Jersey will testify.

Special Cabie Deipalch to Tn Scn.
London, Jan. 20. Daylight nnd calmer
Judgment minimized the consequences of
tho nlr raid modn last night against the
Norfolk coast by tho Germans. The fright
and panic caueed hy the air craft from
oversea have settled Into anger and an
Immediate result is apt to bo a quicken

It appears that four persons were slain
by the bombs rained upon the coast towns
two In Yarmouth and two In King's
Lynn and that the Injured number lesj
than ten. Tho property loss is Insignifi
cant and amounts to little more than 3,000
015,000), due Inrecly to broken glass and
the wrecking of three or four houses In
Yarmouth am King's Lynn. From a mili
tary standpoint the raid was utterly
profitless to the Germans.
The lapse of twnty-four hours has not
cleared the real mystery of the oerlal nt
tack. It cannot be stated positively
whether Zeppelins or Tauhen made the
attack , whether the Germans sent over
their dirigible dieadnoughts or relied upon
their speedy air scouts, the aeropUnee.
The evidence points strongly to Zeppelins,
however. The suddennews of the attack,
tho frightening clreumstnm es under which
It wns delivered, the stunning novelty of
the peril, all served to Inflame the Imagi
nation of observers and to color their
accounts of the visitation
7.epprllna Seen on Dntch Const,
Most persons Insist that Zeppelins
pased over the eight towns which suf
fered from or were endangered by bombs
Not u few say that they caught a glimpse
of a long, idea i shaped body winch
floated leisurely at a grout height and
which picked Its course surely and cer
tainly by means of a powerful search
light. This view Is supported by reports which
have come fiom tlie Dutch coast, where
observers, early In the evening, sighted
several Zeppelins flying over the North
Bea In a westerly and northwesterly di
rection, and where, early this morning,
Zeppelins were glimpsed ns they passed
eastward. Thero Is further support for
tho Zeppelin theory In the time table of
tho attack Yarmouth wiia visited at
S :2 0 P. M., Cromer nt S :30 P. M
rihcrlimham at S .40 P. M., Hunstanton at
10 P. M Heacham nt 10:30 P. M., Dors
Ingham at 10 :40 P M nnd King's Lynn
at 11 P. M. Deralnghani Is on the royal
estate of Bandrlngham -and within a
thort distance of Bandrlngham Hall, the
country home of Queen Mother Alex
andra. The King and Queen had been
visiting the Queen Mother but left Sand
rtngham Hall for London at 10 A. M.,
nearly twelve hours before the German
air craft passed over.
Among other vlllnges near by which
were Imperilled hy the bombardment were
Rnettlsham, Grlmston and peeston, so
that It may be said that ten' towns and
villages had an experience of the German
attempt to terrorise Kngland,
In spite of the evidences that Zeppelins
were employed thero is a widespread be
lief In this city that only aeroplanes took
part In the attack, The police at Yar
mouth are positive that the raiders were
aeroplanes. The small slzn of the bombs
dropped and the few explosives used tend
to support the notion. It Is argued that
Zeppelins would have carried much larger
bombs and would have thrown a far
greater number.
None of Italders Bronulit Pntrn,
Tha rumor whloh spread last night and
early this morning that a Zeppelin had been
brought to earth near Hunstanton by the
guns of a warship appears to have been
baseless. A despatch received this morn
ing from Hunstanton denies that a Ger
mun airship of nny sort had been captured
there, The denial was a keen disappoint
ment to the poople who thronged tho
streets to-day eager for news, us they
had hoped that at least one of the raldera
hail been taken In a manner most pleas
ing to the public, by the guna of the navy.
A rumor whtoh will not down, however,
Is concerned with the possible activities
of German spies or of traitors. More than
one person who watched the coast before
the German alrcfaft made their presence
felt Insists that there were light signals
flashed teawnrd from near 8hrlnghani.
Flashes of greenish blue light were ob
served and these, It was conjectured, wera
meant to inform the Germans that them
