proving President Roosevelt's efforts TO
end the war between Russia and Japan
were adopted. The resolutions were
brought before the convention just pre-
vious to the adjournment of the business

PRESIDENT UNDER THE SEA
MIR. Roosevelt Makes short Submarine
Voyage on Torpedo Boat
PIunRer.

OYSTER BAY Aug 25.-President Roose-
welt this afternoon made a descent in
Long Island sound on board the submarine
torpedo boat Plunger. He was aboard the
vessel about three hours. At one time the
little boat was submerged for fifty minutes
and In that time put through all OF
the submarine feats of which It is capable.
The president expressed tonight his de-
light at the novel experience and said that
he was immensely impressed with the boat
and with the manner in which It was
handled. In thus Drawing the dangers of
submarine maneuvering the president has
endeared himself TO naval officers and men
the world over and made Lieutenant
Charles Nelson. commander of the
Plunger, the proudest and happiest man
in the United States navy
AS soon as the president had descended
into the boat the manhole was closed and,
conveyed by the naval tender Apache. the
Plunger started for the Sound Explana-
tions Of the working of the vessel having
been completed Lieutenant Nelson began
to put It through its performances. From
the bottom, porpoise diving was tried,
that is. the boat would ascend to the sur
face Of the sound for several seconds,
long enough to enable her commander to
sight any warship that might be within
view, and then dive again Immediately.
After this maneuveT had been repeated
few times. the Plunger was sent down a
distance of twenty feet below the surface
and her engines stopped. Then the engines
were reversed and the boat ascended to the
surface backwards. Lieutenant Nelson
made his boat perform the remarkable
feat of diving to a depth Of twenty feet,
and while going at fun speed at that
depth reversing its course. The complete
turn occupied only one minute. Subse-
quently, the engines were stopped and the
vessel was submerged to a depth OF
! twenty feet There she was kept motion

story as that constituting the plot of any
novel will be told TO Governor Higgins Of

the pardon of the prisoner whose name no
would not reveal, at the request of the
woman whose reputation the prisoner had
saved at the expense of his own liberty.
The woman Mr.. Fisher-Hansen said, had
visited his Office within a few days and
said that her husband had just died and
that she now wanted to do justice to the
prisoner. They Rad been friends, and more
than a year ago, when her husband re-
turned unexpectedly he caught the other
man running away. To save her from
scandal, the man confessed that he had
broken into her home to steal, whereupon
he was arrested and is now in Sing Sing
The prisoner, said Mr.. Fisher-Hsnsen, was
young college student who disappeared
from one of the colleges when he was ar
rested.
Il will not say whether il was Harvard.
Yale or Princeton" said the lawyer NO
one has ever known what became Of him,
as he was tried and sentenced under an
assumed name.
