Return Home of Municipal Execu-
tive ReviveS Trouble Involving
Famous uniform Order

When Mayor Lame returned from his
inter island trip Saturday morning he
found the police military fracas staring
him in the face.
communications, reporters and pri'
vate citizens on foot and in carriages
descended Oh him at one fell swoop.
After wading through the letters,
official and unofficial, he announced t0
all and sundrv that he would have to
become better acquainted with the
facts of the incident before vouehsaf-
ing any explanation.
81 have not had time to go through
the communications have received on
the subject, said the mayor, "and
therefore am not in position to say
very much in the matter. e.
"This much can state now, however:
there is not man in the United States
more proud of his country, more proud
of the Stars and Stripes, more proud Of
the uniform of the men who are to be
called upon to defend the honor Of this
country in Zines of stress than myself.
! ! would be the last man in the world
to discriminate against the United
States service uniform. Whatever &C.
ton was taken on my orders on the
night in question at the luau, was
done to protect the city's guests and
citizeEs. I had no other motive.
merely wanted the police to preserve
order.
Sheriff Rose said Yesterday that he
still had his famous afRdavits in his
desk, and that I've intended to hold on
TO them until NaNor Lane had made
his statement. II urnied that he had
communicated 81 the mayor in tb-

WORK WITH LINES
ON 4CONT|NUES
Two Cables About Bow of Sunk
en- Submarine Have Been
Shifted Att

Transferring two lines about the bow
of the submarine "a to seow was
completed yesterday. The line aft of
the coming tower will be moved today.
When this has been accomplished,
the engines of the scows will lift the
submarine and the Navajo will try to
get another line under the stern by
working aft from the bow. IL was by
this means that the single aft line was
put in position Friday, and it offers the
best prospects of success, as the stern
of the lost submarine is embedded more
deeply in the sand than is the bow.
Due to the position of the aft line
only about fifteen feet aft of the con,
ming tower and near the center Of gray
ity of the boat, the two forward lines
will be relied upon to lift the submar.
inc so another line may be wSrked un.
der the bow and then aft.
The single line aft will not be able
to lift the submarine as much as the
forward lines, it is expected, but 1t will
lit as much as possible, so the fourth
line may be placed further toward the
stern. The third line win have to be
moved before lifting operations are
hr I'm again.
