fdr Quick Diving Is Made
by Submarine Boat.
IN FOUR MINUTES
The Octopus Sank 20 feet "A Series
of Remarkable Tests in aNasty
u Sea and a Thick fog.

Newport, X. l., May 11.--All Amer
ican records for quick diving by a
submarine boat were broken Friday
when the submarine Octopus went
through series of extraordinary
tests in Coddington Cove, in nasty
sea. with thick fog that cleared at
times and q southwest wind that blew
at a rate of 40 miles an hour.
The principal test was for the pur-
pose of determining whether the Oc-
topus while af1oat would be able to
get submerged quickly II an enemy
should be sighted. Running at full
gasoline engines, the Octopus receiv-
ed signal from the members Of the
trial board on board the tender Nina.
Immediately the engines were
stopped and power was furnished by
storage batteries. Diving rudders
were adjusted. the submarine took 81
tons of water into her tanks and sank
to a depth of 20 feet This was ac.
complished within four and half
minutes after receiving the signal A
second fest reduced the time by about
half minute.
A test was also made to determine
the ability of the Octopus to come to
full stop while running at full speed
ahead under water.
When coming TO the surface from
one of her dives the Octopus sighted
In the lifting fog tug and tow Of
barges. The submarine Immediately
dived and escaped the danger OF col
lislon by going down so deep In the
water that the tow could pass above
In safety. At another time- when the
Octopus was running awash at a
speed OF ten knots AN hour, she diyed
and was completely submerged within
20 seconds

Tie DENIES II.
Meyer Says he Never

STARTLING STORY
Printed by a Chicago Newspaper Is
Declared false by President Of
the Miners federation.

Boise, Idaho, May ll--There was
noticeable evidence Friday OF relaxa.
ton in the atmosphere of Boise Not
withstanding an outward appearance
of lack of interest In the case there
has existed for some time In Boise an
extremely tense condition.
Proceedings in the court room
| Thursday did much TO dissipate this.
There was spirit of give and take.
A joke from one or another OF coun-
sci, or laugh caused by the answer
of a talesman acted as safety valves,
and when the day was over the strain
was relieved.
A story printed Friday by the Chi
cago Journal, charging that one
Charles Meyer was in 1886 sentenced
to one year in Joliet penitentiary for
burglary In Chicago, was printed here
and created much discussion. That
G. II. Meyer, the prisoner now in jail
here, charged with the murder OF ex-
Gov. Steunenberg. is one and the
same man is denied by the prisoner
and his counsel
Meyer, when seen on the subject,
said he was working in the mines in
The Black Hills country OF South Da.
kota at the time OF incarceration.
which is given as between February
4. 1856, and January A, 1887. He states
that 1t would be easy to verify this
by the records of the Castle Creek
Gold Mining Co. at Rockford, s. d.,
where, he says, he was working AT the
time
While the number OF Witnesses to
be called on both sides looks formid-
able, there Is good reason TO believe
That a large number OF those Wit
nesses will not be in attendance. A
considerable portion OF the Witnesses
for the prosecution live in Colorado or
In other neighboring states. This Is
also true OF the defense, as The home
Of the prisoners Is in Colorado and it
Is not possible to bring them to Idaho
against their VIII.
Lawyers of Boise not connected in
any way with the case, but who know
as much as is known or what both
sides expect to do, say that after the
| Jury Is procured the trial of the case
ought 10 be over In two weeks. Judge
Wood expects to waste no time and
another adjournment Is not looked
for after Monday The court will sit
| from 10 q. m. to noon and from p.
m to . p. IN. and sometimes until 6.
Several members of the Western
| Federation OF Miners, now In Boise
watching the case, do not join In the

Orchard will refuse to testify. They

ment on the stand. On all sides there

Managers Of Steamship Lines Issue
an Ultimstum to Strikers, Who
Show No Sign 81 Welding.

New York, May 11.--The resident
heads of the steamship companies in
cluded in the International Mercantile
Marine Co. assumed the aggressive
Friday when, following a conferences,
they served notice upon the striking
longshoremen that unless the latter
returned to work within week their
places would be permanently filled by
other men. At the meeting the steam
ship officials reafiirmed their determi'
nation not to yield to the demand for
higher wages.
Gustav II. Schwab, general man
ager of the North German Lloyd Co..
took occasion to again deny that there
was possibility that the trans-Atlan'
tic lines would compromise with the
strikers.
In the face OF these statements Pat.
rick Connor, president OF the Long.
shoremen's Union Protective associa.
tion, predicted full victory for the
lstrikers within "a hours. The long.
shoremen met at their Manhattan
Headquarters last night and later Mr..
Connor said that the strikers were OF
one mind to stay out. until their de-
mands were conceded
| Twelve big liners are due here with
lin the next 4S hours. and seven ocean
going steamships are scheduled to de-
part in the same period Connor de-
clared the lines would be powerless to
cope with such congestion and must
meet the stevedores demands.
| To put on further pressure Con-
NOR, who says that there are 10000
men idle, asserted that he would
bring out the market truck drivers,
most of whom are said to be willing
to go on sympathetic strike. He will
strike, so that vessels In this port
may be in serious need of coal.
| The strikers were somewhat en-
couraged Friday when 200 employees
Of the Fall River line went out. The
company claimed that IL would not be
Inconvenienced. One thousand lum,
ber handlers, employees OF ia lumber
companies, also struck, demanding an
Increase from $3.50 to 81 for day OF
Item hours While their work is dis.
tinct from that OF the striking long
shoremen. the lumber, handlers or,
ganization is branch OF the 1nterna.
tional Longshoremen's union. and the
attitude of the members is construed
as in sympathy with the stevedores
and promises to still further compli.
cate a serious situation.
The coastwlse shipping companies
have shown disposition to compro.
mise and the strike so far as they are
concerned is practically ended. The
transatlantic lines, however, are
hopelessly behind in the matter OF
their freight and arrangements are
being made to divert freight to other
ports. Boston, Philadelphia and Bal.
timore Will be chiefly benefited.

Business.
New York, May 11.-R. q. Dun 4
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Weather conditions unreasonable
almost beyond precedent have re-
tarded retail trade and agriculture to
an extent that cannot yet be meas
nred, but the loss will be consider
able. Spring opened with the bright
est prospects for business and crops,
but record breaking results can no
longer be attained. May thus far has
brought complaints of excessive cold
from almost every section OF the coun-
try, and in many cases mercantile
collections have been slow on that ac.
count.
Freight congestion is relieved, how.
ever, and traffic is very heavy, partly
In preparation for fall and winter
business, which Is viewed with conf
dence, while last years pressure
causes a big movement OF coal and at.
tractive prices bring a vast tonnage
OF wheat to primary markets. The
outlook In the iron and steel industry
was never brighter. Steel rails are
constantly ordered, much new busi-
ness being in light rails for trolley
lines. and makers OF agricultural i'm
piements are purchasing bars freely.
