Base Ball Players who Were Ar.
rested at Cleveland Out on Bail.

Base Ball Players who Were Ar
rested at Cleveland Out on Bail.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 17.-Eighteen
base ball players, an umpire and a base
ball masnate were the magnets which drew
a crowd numbering several hundred
people TO the police court in this city this
morning. Owing to the fact that several
cases had to be disposed of before their
cases could be heard the case did not come
up for trial until shortly before noon.
When they were finally arraigned it took
just five minutes by the clock to dispose
of the case.
The law specifies that a defendant can
demand three days time from the time of
arrest before pleading to the charge against
him. The attorneys for the base ball play
ers took advantage of this and the cases
were continued until Wednesday noon.
Judge Fielder, the presiding judge, then
fixed the amount of bail, allowing the play
ers their freedom on the same bail which
was furnished yesterday by President
Robson.
II is the general concensIs of opinion
that they will be found guilty on the count
against them when the case comes up
again and that it will be carried up to a
higher court. In the meantime Mr.. Robi-
son, through his attorneys, will endeavor
to secure an injunction against the city,
so that base ball can be played at League
Park next Sunday.

HOLLANDS BOAT LAUNCHED
New War Vessel Has Attracted Much At
tention From Experts.
Great Secrecy Has Been Maintained
by the InventOr-Descripti
of the Craft.

ELIZABETH N. j., May 1.-THE Hol-
lard submarine torpedo boat was launched
at the Crescent shipyards in this city
today. The inventor of the boat, John p.
Holland. has closely watched the constrUc
ton of the vessel The vessel was christen-
eo The Holland by Mrs. Nixon, wife of
Lieut.. Lewis Nixon, the constructor. There
were few present at the launching. Inven-
tor Holland says there will not be any at
tempt at submarine evolutious for several
weeks.
The boat is cylindrical in shape, is fifty
feet three inches long, with four-foot
screw protecting extension. The diameter
is ten feet three inches arlidships, and the
nodded diameter is the same. The boat
can travel under water eight knots an
hour for eight hours and ten knots an hour
On the surface. The power comes from
gasoline engine and dynamo, the former
to be used when the boat is sailing along
the surface and the latter when she is sub
merged. 1t will take less than a minute
to submcrse the boat and about the same
length of time for her to rise to the sur
face The armament consists of three tor
pedo tubes, one at the upper bow of the
beat being aerial torpedo thrower, with
a range of one mile. Six projectiles, weigh
ing $50 pounds each, with charges of 100
poCrds of explosives. are to be stored for
this gun. There is an expulsion tube for
w HlttHedu tuIpeuoeS dlHioSt uiieStiy ue-
meath the torpedo thrower. There is
submarine gun at the stern of the boat,
which, with a 103-pound charge of explo-
sive. can hurl a 40O-pound projectile one
hundred yards through the water. Five of
these will be carried. Six men will con-
stitute the crew.
Mr.. Holland was asked by the United
States. British and Spanish governmeL ts
to allow a representative on board during
the trial trip of the boat but he refused
the request. After trial trip he says he
will allow an engineer from each govern
meDt to see the workings of the boat,
which it is believed will revblutionize war
fare. Several foreign nations have bid for
the vessel. but 1t is likely that Mr.. Hol-
land will sell her to the United States.

ed the Senate when the session opened to-

What the Law Provides.

What the LAW Provides.
The penalty provided is fine of not less
than 500 nor more than $1,000, and i'm
prisonment in jail for not less than one nor
more than twelve months. Hence, should
Mr.. Havemeyer and Mr.. Searles be con-
vtcted. it would be in Judge Bradleys
power to impose a much more severe sem
tence than was given Mr.. Chapman by
Judge Cole. Judge Bradley has the repu-
tation of being severe in the imposition of
sentences, and there are not few, there
fore, who would expect him to impose a
rather heavy penalty upon Messrs Have
meyer and Searles, should they be con-
victed. But the prevailing opinion of those
who have followed the cases Is that, if any
of the untried witnesses are convicted
they will receive the minimum penalty,
that imposed upon Mr.. Chapman.
