Portland Man May Obtain Big Fortune
Attempt Being Made to Raise
i Frigate; To Try to Prove
! Claim.
Alblna Improvement association a strong
resolution was adopted urging the grant.
Herman Jtletveld of East Four
teenth etreet, . of f ice manager of the
Garden City Feeder company, may come
lnt possession f several Hundred
thousand dollar in gold bullion, if he
can 'prove his claims to it. The Na
tional Salvage association is now at-
tempting to raise the treasure from the
' aunken British frigate Lutine. which
sank a score of fathoms deep In the
Zuyder Zee, in the Netherlands more
than a century ago, with $6,035,000 in
bullion and money aboard.
. Mr. Rietveld says the only other
heirs to this Immense fortune are his
brother, Ilenry W. Van Dam, and his
aister, Cora Van Dam, of St. Louis.
This vast sum of coin and gold In bars
was owned by his great-grandfather,
Antony Van Dam, a wealthy stock and
bond broker of Amsterdam, Holland, in
the eighteenth century. The frigate
""'was on the Way to Amsterdam with this
' gold consignment on board when she
went down in a storm off the main
coast of the Netherlands, in the his-
, torlo Zuyder Zee.
, : Many Difficulties Expected.
Many difficulties are expected to be
'encountered in proving ownership, due
? to the great number of years that have
elapsed, but Mr. Rietveld says that he
and his brother and sister can prove
' their claims, by the old Dutch records,
which have been In the family ever
" since the death of the great-grandfather.-
- -
. Several times in the latter part of the
eighteenth century and the early part
of the nineteenth century, attempts
were made to raise the vessel and re
cover the coin and gold bullion aboard.
Few were successful, however. Al
' though aatvage seekers and treasure.
hunUrg managed to recover about $499,
46S at various times, there reilUlned in
the old hulk about $5,875,000. During
the lapse In salvage operations the site
was obscured by silt. In the past 50
years numerous attempts were made to
. locate the wreck, Dut only recently nas
this been successfully accomplished.
; For two years the National Salvage
association, at the head of a band of
gold aeekers, tising the salvage ship
Lyons, fought the fierce currents that
' run between the islands of Vieland and
Terschelling. Recently one of the
divers from the salvage ship reached the
bottom of the Zuyder Zee and amidst
the wreckage of the old warship Lutine
: felt with his heavy rubber covered
Hands countless bars of gold.
J eeU Story la Journal.
' Last Sunday The Journal carried a
liews dispatch from London telling of
the exploits of this fearless diver and
his wonderful find. 1tfr. Rietveld while
seated In the parlor of his home Sunday
morning looking through the paper, read
the story of the fortune that had come
Into possession of Mr. and Mrs. George
, Fanning of this city. At the time he
. remarked half to himself, "what funny
things occur in this world." He had
' hardly read through a dozen more pages
i.when Jiauotlced Jhe headlines. "Million
founds In Sunken Frigate Within Reach
' of Treasure Seekers." Mr. Rietveld had
read only a dozen lines when he read
the name "Lutine." He then immedi
- aiely recalled the old story that he had
heard hundreds of times from his
father, of how his great grandfather
lost a iargfl consignment or coin ana
gold bullion, when an old frigate went
. dbwn in the Zuyder Zee.
I Early yesterday morning Mr. Rietveld
tVnt messages to his brother and sister
Along with copies of The Journal, tell
Big of the uncovering of the treasure.
Be is now anxiously awaiting word
' trom them, as to what they are to do.
In regard to getting the fortune, or part

opened up a large merchandise store and
became Very well known among the im
migrants who were traveling westward.
He married and had two sons, Herman
and Antony Van Darn. Upon the death
of Herman Van Dam. senior, the boys
were left With about $60,000 which they
squandered In only a short time.
"Herman married and I was bom, but
as my father was in destitute circum
stances I was adopted by a family
named Rietveld. Several years later
my brother and sister were bom, but
as my father was making a little money
they were kept in the. family.
"At "the present time my brother Is
a telegraph operator in St. Louis and
my sister is holding a clerical position
in the am city. I up to this time,
always thought the atory 'about the
sunken treasure was a huge Joke, but
now as they are about to recover It, I
am going to see that my brother and
sister get it or at least part of the vast
fortune."
Mr. Rietveld Is married and haa seven
children, all 6f whom are living at Pella,
Iowa, where they are running a larga
dairy farm.
