FORMER ROCHESTER MAN SAVED
WHEN TORPEDOED LINER GOES TO BOTTOM

(photo of Charles H. Grant)
Charles H. GRANT, son of the late J. Herbert GRANT, former
assistant city
engineer of Rochester, was a passenger on the Oriental liner Persia,
which was
torpedoed last Thursday with heavy loss of life off the island of
Crete, in
the Mediterranean. __ he and Robert N. McNEELY, American consul at
Aden; it was
said in the dispatches probably were victims of the catastrophe, but
W. F.
PRIZOR, a brother-in-law, who resides at Medford, Mass., received from
Mr. GRANT
morning a cable message saying that he was safe at Alexandria, Egypt.
Mr. GRANT was educated in the Rochester public schools and worked
for
several years for Charles BRADY in the leather business. When Mr.
BRADY went to
Boston, Mr. GRANT went with him. That was six years ago. Two years
later Mr.
GRANT took employment in the Boston offices of the Vacuum Oil Company,
of which
Mr. PRIZER, his brother-in-law, is assistant New England manager.
That Mr. GRANT made good in his work appears from the fact that the
oil
company asked him to take charge of its Indian business, with offices
in
Calcutta. He sailed from New York on December 4th to begin his new
work. After having
spent a week in the London offices, he left Southampton on the Persia
on
December 18th for Bombay.
Mr. GRANT is about 34 years old. He has many friends in Rochester
and
close relatives in this city are Mrs. Louis CHAPIN, an aunt, and Mrs.
Esther C.
MARSH, of No. 137 Plymouth avenue south, Mrs. CHAPIN was advised by
telegraph
yesterday noon that her nephew was safe. His mother, Mrs. J. Herbert
GRANT, Mrs.
CHAPIN'S sister, now lives at Medford, Mass.
Mr. GRANT and Mr. McNEELY are supposed to have been the only
Americans on
the Persia. The death of either because of the submarine attack was
expected
to result again in strained relations between this country and the
Central
Powers.

ROCHESTER MAN UNDER ARREST AT JAMESTOWN

Jamestown, Jan. 2 - Three men accused of having passed counterfeit
$20
bills were arrested in this city. They are Nat__ LITTARI, of
Rochester; Frank
LENORT, of Glen Rock, and Jacob CARLERI, of Glen Rock.
CARLERI is said to have been caught attempting to pass one of the
bad
bills on George HOLLINGER, a bartender, about 10 o'clock last night.
He was
detained, until Patrolman George HARRISON arrived. By means of an
interpreter,
CARLERI was led to tell where the other two men were likely to be.
About 4 o'clock
this morning the police went to the home of Luciana TEDESCO, No. 292
Harrison
street, and there found them. All now are charged with passing
counterfeit
money, and will be held to await the action of the Federal
authorities.
CARLERI when arrested had three of the counterfeit bills, and he is
said
to have confessed that he had passed seventeen in the city during the
day. The
men came from Rochester Saturday morning. The other two had twenty of
the
bills in their possession. TEDESCO was arrested with the others,
charged with
carrying a loaded revolver. All were provided with these weapons.
The bills were all of the Benjamin HARRISON issue. LITTARI, said to
be the
principal bad actor, had brushes, pencils and a wax preparation with
which he
had attempted to make the bills passable. Over the $5 sign a wax "20"
had
been stamped. The word "Five" in the center of the bills had not been
touched,
and, provided the storekeepers were not busy, would easily have been
detected.
LITTARI, carrying his clothing in his arms, attempted to escape by
a rear
door of the house, but was confronted by a policeman armed with a
revolver.
More than $400 in good money was found on him.
