SUBMARINE INVENTOR DEAD

Newark, N. j., Aug. 13.-Fate de-
MED that John P. Holland, inventor
of the submarine boat, should live to
see the craft to which he gave up
years of his life put to its greatest
test as an implement of war. Hol-
land died yesterday.
Holland constructed his first sub
marine in 1898. He first submitted
plans to the navy department in 1875,
but they were rejected because it
was not believed men could be found
who would risk their lives in such an
experimental craft, When new plans
were submitted in 1893 an appropria-
ton of $4,000 was made. A cat and
a rooster were sent beneath the sur.
face of the sea in the first submarine
trial and a man-carrying boat was
then built.

Spira, D. l. Felsenthal and M. L. Fox

causes for the closing the LaSalle
street bank.
B. M. Levine, confessed and in
dicted 'firebug," turned states evil
dence and swore that Charles Fox,
cashier Of the defunct institution, dis
counted a 500 note which Levine
branded as worthless. He said that
Spira had obtained the note from
him and got it cashed at the bank.

who was not out on bail, to keep his
mouth shut.
