the submarine torpedo boat Moccasin,
with the boat running submerged and
diving, but later the facts in the case
we're learned, Miss Roosevelt went aboard
the boat, which was thm submerged. There
was no run, the boat not leaving her
berth at the torpedo station.
Shortly after noon Miss Roosevelt. ac-
compapied by Philip Livermare, drove
to the launch landing, where the Captains
launch was in waiting to take her to the
torpedo station. She was received by
Lieutenant Commander Fletcher and taken
to the Moccasin. It is not usual for
women to 60 into submarine boats, but
Miss Roosevelt had the consent Of her
father and Lieutenant Commander FLEET cher
was instructed to show her every courtesy.
At first It was thought that the Moccasin
would 60 out In the bay under the con-
voy Of torpedo boats, but Mr.. Fletcher
thought that II would be a. we'll to show
the workings Of the boat to Miss Roose-
welt at the dock. He did not wish to
run the risk Of an accident, although the
boat is perfectly safe.
Miss Roosevelt climbed through the
little hatch OF the submarine fighter
Then Lieut.. Pinney, the boats COM
mander, ordered the hatch closed and
sealed. and the process Of sinking the
boat was then gone through with. Tied
to her dock, the Moccasin was sunk to the
bottom Of her slip until six feet Of water
covered her. As soon a. the boat had
settled on the bottom the machinery was
set in motion and worked as il the boat
was under way. Miss Roosevelt watched
the working Of everything with great in
terest, and anything that che did not under
stand she asked about. After being down
about ten minutes, the engines were stopped.
the water was pumped out and the Moe
casin rose 10 the surface.
The hatch was opened and Miss Roose-
welt was assisted to the wharf. She was
very much pleased with the experience,
and at no time had she the least appre-
hension for her safety.

and Takes q Little Political Notice.

tention Of accepting. Until he does. it
hardly seems time for any sincere friend
OF reform in the city Of New York to say
anything. ! may have something to say
az soon as the fusion conferees reach
definite decision.
Those who have been in touch with Mr..
Jerome for tho last two or three weeks
say that he is by no means satisfied that
in city OF 3,500OOO people the number
Of possible candidates for the fusion nom
ination is limited to either Mayor Low or
himself he does not feel that all he ma
terial has been threshed out.
Mr.. Jerome said last night that until
the possibilities Of nominations had been
exhausted he would have nothing what
ever to say on the situation.
The report which brought him to town
was the discovery that County Detective
Wievrovtz had opened the desk Of Assistant
District Attorney Cans, who is away on
vacation. and extracted from it q blank
check on the Manhattan Trust Company
and had made out this check for SsS, signing

hind the truck.
A trolley inspector got fifty or sixty
motormen and conductors from the cars
that were soon stalled by the accident
and they began throwing the bricks to one
side. 1t took them half an hour to finish
the job.
Then car lat went on up Third avenue
at high speed to make up some Of the lost

The waiter grinned and said that had been

He placed himself between the Senator

indicated that the bill must be paid. Man
aSer Hubbard was called, but when the
Senator explained who he was the manager
looked at his guest with the SLOUGH hat

convincing the restaurant man that he
was really Indianas Senator. He said
that he left home with $50 in his pocket,

COAL MINERS MAY SULK.
tmpsre WPight's Decision May Cause
Many 10 Remain Idle-They Have Money.


MAHANoY CITY, Pa. Sept. 1O.-Mine
officials who are in close touch with condi-
tions In the anthracite region say that
little coal will be mined this winter. They
say that the adverse decision OF Carroll
ID. Wright. the Cancellation board umpire,
will eventually result in diesensons.
According to their views tho majority
OF the miners are in position to remain idle
the greater part Of the winter. The books
Of the various companies show that during
the last eight months the earnings Of the
miners have been greater than they have
ever been before. Many Of the miners
have earned AZ high as $500 month, and
the majority Of them have drawn not less
than $l00 month. A review Of the his
tory OF anthracite mining shows that when
the miners are enabled to earn what they
term big money" they are not at all averse
to laying down their tools upon slight
provocation.
"The men say they have many griev-
ances, an operator said to-day, and when
the cold season comes, and the demand for
coal ID strong. they will try to apply the
screws to the operators. However, the coal
companies have profited by the Lesson they
learned during the strike, and they have
enough coal stored now to supply the mar
kets all winter. They are intrenched and
prepared to oppose the demands of the
men, which a. whole they consider to be
unjust and unreasonable"

Dishonesty Against Him in Connec-

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Sept. IO-Ths
Methodist conference at Pacific Grove
has been enlivened by a spirited debate
over the case of DR.. j. d. Hammond, man.
ager Of the Book Concern in San Fran
cisco for many years.
Hammonds friends tried yesterday to
have a resolution passed. censuring seven
clsrgymen who recently made public
Hammonds alleged shortage and mal-ad-
ministraton OF the Chinese mission Of this
city.
Opposition to ths resolution was 40 strong
that censurs Of the preachers was cut out.
Then DR.. George P. Mains Of the New York
Book Concern made a statement showing
that big deficit of 100000 was really
depreciation OF stock and losses incurred
for many years.
He said that during its eleven years the
Book Concern had accumulated vast
stock Of old plates, books and accounts
beyond their market value. The five de-
positorieS had also accumulated much old
stock.
We took the view" said he, 1that tho
only thing to do was to put the knife re-
lentlessly into the inventory. This was
dane at the beginning Of 1900. Some Of
the reductions were losses. it Ia true, but
they were not recent losses The old
books were sold at great loss The old
plates are still worth just az much as be-
fore we cut down their inventoried value.
The losses in San Francisco we're included
IN the amount marked of, but only por-
ton OF this amount was actual loss. The
rest was depreciation The Book Concern
now rests on a solid foundation
DR.. Hammond asked to make O state
ment Of his own case, and this request
was granted, but 1t was stipulated that
the statement should be read In secret
session.
To-day DR.. Hammond made long state
ment, and was forced to admit by DR..
Briggs and others that he had destroyed
books which were vital in order to enable
any expert to say whether he had carried
on business properly.
Then Briggs made formal charge Of
dishonesty in business transactions against
Hammond with six specifications
A strong effort was made by Hammond
to get off without trial, but this was de-
feated, as was also a resolution that would
have been virtual whtewash.
1t was finally decided to try Hammond
before a committee OF fifteen, representing
both sides OF the controversy.
Laymsn are protesting because they were
excluded from to-days secret session.
They say they contribute money, but are
not allowed to find out how 1t is spent.

VANDERBILT RECONCILIATION
Story Revived in Newport That Cornelius
and His Mother Arc Friends.

NEWPORT, r.. l., Sept l0.-There Ia a
story going the rounds Of society tonight
to the effect that reconciliation has been
effected between Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt
and her son Cornelius Vanderbilt
Although there are those who are inclined
to believe that there Is some truth to the
story, the general impression is that 1t is
merely a repetition OF tho report that went
out from Newport early in the summer,
to the effect that Mr.. Vanderbilt would
be received by his mother on his return
to this country.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has been at Newport
for about three weeks now, and during
that time he has not been seen to speak
to his brothers Alfred and Reginald. al
though the report has It that he and Mrs.
Vanderbilt were guests at the luncheon
given by Mrs. Alfred g. Vanderbilt At
Oakland Farm few days ago.
It's also mid that Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt
have been guests at dinner given by Mrs.
Vanderbilt at Tho Breakers, and that the
children Of Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt have
visited Mr., Vanderbilt's mother and have
played with the children Of Mr.. and Mrs
Harry Payne Whitney.
From outward appearances there has been
no reconciliation, in spite Of the assurances
that such thing has taken place. Mr..
and Mrs Vanderbilt have appeared at
several large functions since their return
to Newport, but as far as known Mrs.
Vanderbilt, Alfred and Reginald Wander
bilt have not been at the same affairs.
Mr. Vanderbilt has given several en-
tertainments on board his yacht since his
arrival here. but his brothers and his mother
have not been included among his guests.
The story is nf taken seriously. although
there are several Of the cottsgers who In
sist that the report is correct. None Of the
parties interested will be interviewed on
the subject
