New Submarine boat Goes IL Knots an
Hour Under Water.

NEW SUFFOLK, L. l.. Nov. 1.-The sub
marine boat Adder, the latest of the Holland
type. was put through her PAGES under water
this afternoon. The tests to-day were
largely concerned with stendardizing the
vessel. Capt Frank 7. Cable was in COM
mand. The Others In her were Lawrence
Y. Spear. formerly Naval Constructor and
now chief engineer for the Holland Com
pany, and the members of the board of
inspection, consisting Of Capt. Charles

Ter, Joseph Woodward W. c. Cowles ald
Lieuts. Caldwell, Herbert, Smith and White
The board spent the morning inspecting
the Adder, the Porpoise and the Mocassin,
which are nearly ready for their tests
The Adder left the Holland pier at /
o'clock and steamed out on the surface 20
the measured course in the bay After
some preliminary work she Owed and while
submerged made eight round trips over
a quarter of mile course. While on those
trips she was subjected to the various
movements she must made, such as rising
toward the surface, dropping deeper, di-
verging in both directions and turning in
the shortest space.
The speed test showed submerged

POXHALL KEENE ARRESTED.

While Going TO Meadow Brook Hunt
Prisoner VIII Contest and SHOW That

OYSTER BAY. l.. l., Nov. 1.-Foxhall
keene was caught on the road near Norwich
this afternoon speeding his automobile
faster than the law allows. according to the
statements OF tho deputy sheriffs stationed
here to enforce the Cocks law. Deputy
Sheriff John Garvin, who made the arrest,
says that he signallci to Mr.. Keene to stop
and had to chase him on a bicycle Mr..
keene says that he did not see any signal.
In the automobile at the time were Mrs.
kcene and chauffeur. but Mr.. Keene was
personally handling il, 30 he instead Of the
chauffeur was arrested. The party was on
its way to tie Meadow Brook Hunt. Deputy
Sheriff Edward Meehan, who IL the personal
representative Of District Attorney Me
mann here in enforcing the speed law 4,
offered TO accept Mr.. Keene's promise to
return so as not to delay him. but this Mr..
Keene refused. He then brought the
deputies to the village in his machine and
was arraigned before Justice Franklin
The formal charge was made and Mr. Keene
entered plea Of not guilty. He said that
he would fight and the case was set down
for Tuesday next.
Mr.. Keene said he would bring experts
to support his contention that his machine
could not make twenty miles an hour as
it is at present geared. He maintains
tlat the machine had been purposely geared
to keep not only himself but any one el e
from exceeding the legal maximum
speed. Ee ssys that he did not decrease
speed between the point where the deputy
sheriff says that he signalled to him. and
the point where the machine was over
hauled by the deputy on a bicycle, and
points to this TO prove that his machine
was either not moving so fast as l. urged
or that the deputy sheriff. having a stern
chase to make, is very speedy rider.
The distance from the point Of alleged
signalling to where the machine was over
hauled Is to be measured, and taking into
consideration the time lost in mounting it
is to be figured out, il possible, that the
deputy sheriff rode at an impossible speed.

II was reported in Wall Street yesterday
that the Erie Railroad has been acquiring
property near Fourteenth street and the
North River front for use a. a terminus
in connection with tunnel which the road,
according to the story, intends to dig under
the river. This report was brought TO the
attention Of President Underwood of the
Erie, and he would neither confirm nor
deny il.
1t was learned in other quarters that as
late as five months ago the Erie was con-
sderng the advisabity Of securing traffic
rights through the tunnel under construc-
ton by the New York and New Jersey
Railroad Company. What the result of
this con sideration was could not be learned
definitely. but Wall Street believes that
negotiations were begun and terminated
satisfactorily
The New York and New Jersey company

Railroad Company. which undertook TO
construct a tunnel from a point midway
between the Erie and the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western terminuses in Jersey
City to Morton and West streets in Man

through and in May last the new company
took title from the Farmers Loan and Trust
Company and Henry j. b. Kendall of Eng
land TO all the old franchises, the tunnel
and terminal facilities, not exceeding
$50 900 square feet in this city.
The new company then bought the block

director of the company that work would

company admitted that urgo, lat ions with
the Erie were also under way.
This statement was made by prominent
Wall Street interest yesterday.

BosroN, Nov. ii.-Alan q. Mason, who
has been In the Cambridge jail for week
upon suspicion that he was the notorious
"slugger," was released from Gust ody to- day
and George Perry, the young negrs who
said Mason gave him Miss Morton's watch
to sell, Is now charged with her death
Mason was released by Judge Amy of
the Cambridge district court, on motion of
District Attorney Sanderson, on the ground
that there was not evidence enough to
warrant his being further held on the murder
charge.
Before Mason was released he had TO
spend over an hour In the private Office
Of police captain, where he was constant ~
In conference with relatives, friends, police
officers and his counsel Richard ID. Ware
When he was finally brought into court ii
was with the knowledge that n request

him.
While the District Attorney was address,

court had ordered his discharge, Mason
seemed inclined to say something, but
just at the moment MIR: Ware stepped over
to where he was standiig ana told him to
leave the court house. Mason was put
In a hack, and with his mother was driven
to his home on Newbury street, Boston.
As soon as Mason had left the courtroom
the warrant charging Perry with the MUIR
der of Miss Morton was prepared. The
negro pleaded not guilty and was held
without bail until Nov 10. According to
the Massachusetts laws, the possession by
Perry of the watches IN ken from the bodies

on that charge.
