In Addition to Increase in Guard, Street is Being
 Tarred.

New York, June 3.-Sheriff Doyle
 of Westchester county, in which is
 situated the country home of Jno. D.
 Rockefeller, was last night authorized
 by the village trustees of TarrytOwn to appoint fifty special policemen to
 serve for 30 days or until the situation created by the advent of many mem-
 bers of the Industrial Workers of the
 World has cleared.
 In refusing several applications for
 permits for open-air meetings, the
 trustees issued statement saying they considered such gatherings inad- visable at this time. What action will
 be taken if the announcement of the Rev. J. E. Gates, pastor of the St.. Paul's M. E. church of North larry town, that next Saturday he will de- bate with Alexander Beekman, Leon- ard Abbott and others in the. half-acre of graveyard in front of his church, is carried out, could not be learned today

you performed an act unparalleled in
the history Of the fleet, but you afford

With your permission, sir, I will

Nikolai, turning to me. But already
the whole affair had become clear to
me. 1t was an English battleship, and,

He spoke In English, which, like all
German Iavat officers, the lieutenant
understood perfectly. Won Beeman
stared at him wildly; then suddenly
he burst into sobs.
Come, man," said Nikolai, with
some sympathy, things are not as
bad as they might be. At least you
can have your life. And, II you

The sailors were muttering behind

now. BY ones and twos they left their
work and mustered at his side.

lai A sailor had sprung to the
wheel. He steadied the swinging
craft, and there, on the camera OBJ
scura, but filing 1t completely, was
a scouting boat; 1t must have been
almost upon us. Then, as l watch
ed, saw flag float into the picture,
and on 1t were the stars of the Ger
man flag.
1t was a German warship, and not
an English one, that had discovered
US!
More and more clearly came the
picture of the scouting boat. There
could be no mistake. Our ruse had
failed-and, when we thought that we
had snatched victory out Of defeat,
once more the cup Of hope had been
dashed from our lips. All chances
was gone; probably death, at best, i'm
prisonment for life, awaited us.
The picture blurred the submarine
tilted and rose to the surface of the
sea, Through the thick glass of the
window we saw the scout-boat lay-to
a cables length distant. She was
manned by a crew of lusty sailors, and
In the stern sat an officer in the uni

drew alongside and opened our deck.

1t was man Of war. And the blur
at the side was q scout motor boat.
We were discovered--I realized that
in an instant. Heavens be praised,
the English battleship had not been
searching the seas for us in vain!
II only Nikolai had waited few
brief minutes longer, until they
were alongside! Now we must stand
Off our enemies until the rescue came.
All these thoughts flashed through my
brain instantaneously. My glance had
hardly faltered, but that moment of
indecision was enough. With a con.
certed movement the sailors had hurl-
ed themselves on US. The rush was
80 swift, 80 simultaneous, that the
bark Of my pistol was mufiled in the
cloth of the lieutenant's uniform, and
the bullet turned aside. Then, wrap
ping me in his embrace, he slipped to
the floor, and we tumbled and sprawl
ed over the slippery keel-plates The
rest bore Nikolai to the ground with
me, and again the stars whirled
upon the silver plate as the subma-
rine, unguided, plunged here and there
under the seas.
Two minutes later we were trussed
and bound and helpless. The lieuten-
ant called off his men and stood
over US, watching Nikolai with sour
smile.
