CLAIMS "PENC|lER" WEIGHED
THOMAS SAYS he WON BET,
BUT FAILED TO GET MONEY.
Dennis Sullivan, Charged With
Making a Handbook, Demands
Jury Trial.

Betting $65 on 80 to I shot, winning
and not getting the money, it is said, will
make any patron of handbook feel as il
he had been "done," and cause him to
complain. Such is the claim Of Benja-
min Thomas, and he followed up his
charge by procuring warrant for the
arrest Of Dennis Sullivan on the charge
OF making q handbook on the races.
Its all q mistake" says Sullivan, but
Thomas is willing to have Judge Kimball
act as referee and decide the question.
Sullivan was not willing that the judge
peared in the Police Court this morning,
and he asked for q jury trial. His re-
quest was granted, although he had to
give bond in the sum of 81 600 for his
appearance when the case is called for
trial.
!. Thomas alleges that he and two friends
had a "sure thing" on Purcell at Fort
Hamilton several days ago, and SO GER
tain were they that the horse would
win that they wagered $65 on it. The
handbook man, he alleges, was glad
enough to receive the bet, but when the
horse won at 80 to he was not willing
to pay. Thomas complained to the police,
and later he went to court and swore out
a warrant
Detectives Weldon and Burlingame in
vestigated the charge and were given the
warrant to serve. Last night they had
Policeman Lester get Sullivan and hold
him for court. The case will probably
not be tried until fall. Sullivan gave his
address as 1876 M street southwest.

NERvY ENSIGN RISKS LIFE.
Is Shot From Torpedo Tube Of Sub

An official report has reached the Navy
Department narrating the remarkable
feat performed by Ensign Kenneth Whit
marine Porpoise at Cavite. Manila bay
In order to demonstrate a means of es-
cape from a submarine that becomes dis
abled and sinks to the bottom of the sea.
Ensign Whiting tried the experiment of
having himself shut in one of the tor
pedo tubes Of the Porpoise while the little
submarine lay at the bottom of Manila
bay. and then by his orders the port at
the outer end of the tube was opened and
he swan to the surface and returned on
board

would have been impossible Of success
full performance. Ensign Whiting. even
at the slight depth at which he perform
ed his experiment, would not have been
able, with his own strength, to have
made his way out against the pressure Of
the water. He chung to the port, and
when it was opened by the power Of the
vessel under the control Of the second
officer within. he was pulled out of the
tube. and when clear Of the tube he was
able to swim upward TO the surface. That.
in his case, being a fine swimmer, was
a comparatively easy feat.
The trial is of value to show how in
certain cases escape from a disabled
submarine Is possible. 1t is obvious, how
ever. that q man could get out that way
only in case the port could be operated
by some one remaining behind. and the
last man inside would have small chance
for his life.
