Washington, March 29.-The last

abandoned by the Navy Department

Honolulu, March 29.-Hope of rails
ing the United States submarine F-4
submerged outside the harbor since
Thursday morning, was again revived
last night when vessels engaged in the
rescue work reported they had finally
located the missing craft in which
twenty-one persons are believed to have
persisted.
Divers Go Down 215 Feet
Heroic attempts of the last forty.
eight hours to bring to the surface from
a great depth an object that appeared
to be the submarine, resulted in the
discovery by two divers Sunday that
it was only an old anchor, probably los,
by the battleship Oregon. The diver.
went to a depth of 215 feet but failed
to find any trace of the F-4.
Refusing to be disheartened by this
discovery, hundreds of rescue workers
although tired by their long work and
without sleep for many hours, re
doubled their efforts when another body
believed to be the F4 was located.
Portions of a vessels upper struc
ture have been brought TO the surface
by the grappling apparstus of the var,
Gus boats and it is this which make,
the rescuers confident they are from
the F-4.
Big Naval Crane Being Used
The dredge California, whose chain.
are thought to have been securely fixed
on the body, will be moored in a DO
sition directly above it and tug boats
will criss-cross it in all directions with
their drag chains in an effort to wind
them into a net around the hulk.
A big naval crane having a lifting
capacity of $50 tons dead wei ight will
then attempt a direct lift on the sub
marine if the chains are made last tc
the craft. The dredge will assist.
W. c. Parks, civil engineer, has
started construction of an immense div
ing bell fitted with heavy plate glass
ports which is expected to be ready fol
use by noon tomorrow. A hydro aero
plane is being held in readiness for i'm
mediate fight, if required.

Effortto Escape From
Headquarters
JAIL MAY PROVE
TO BE AS EASY
Coppers Find Him in Cell With Locks
Picked and Fasten Him Again
Pleads Guilty to Larceny Of Bicy-
cles and Is Sent to Glen Mills

The hardest person to keep in cap
tivity the police of this city nave ever
had to deal with is Clarence Ross, IL
years old, colored, who twice escaped
from detention cells at police headquar-
ters and who picked two pairs of hand
cuffs and was luckily captured before
he got out of his cell for the third
time.
A much relieved bunch of policemen
took Clarence before Judge McCarrell
in chambers this morning, and had the
satisfaction of seeing him turned over
TO Sheriff Wells, to be ultimately sent
to Glen Mills. The Sheriff put the boy
TO Jail and the police are none too GER
tain that he will not escape there.
Writes Note to Policeman
After his fourth arrest and second
escape the boy was manacled to a
bench in detention cell at headquar-
ters. Methodicaily working on the
cuffs that held his legs to park bencn
in the cell, he picked the lock with a
wire cork puller and was loose yester-
day afternoon when found by Detective
1bach and Policeman Shoemaker Hav-
ing been offered S. If he would escape
from. his shackles by Policeman Schel-
has, he set about earning that $5, and,
TO make sure of it, he wrote Policeman
Schelhas note on a cardboard, which
was found in the cell yesterday after
noon. The note reads:
''To Mr. Paul, night man. I told
You fellows I could get out. In keep
the Others for myself (referring to the
handouts and chain which were still
on his legs, having gotten the cuff loose
from the bench) got them off at that.

Picks Cuffs on His Ankles
The chain was then put through the
cast iron fixture of the bench and a
handcuff fastened to both legs This
morning he was loose again having
picked the lock on a set of handouts
on which the makers guarantee against
that to the extent of 500. That money
cannot be collected, however, because
the boy had them on his ankle instead
of his hands and had both hands to
work with. This remains a mystery as
nothing was found in the cell by which
he could work them. This particular
pair of cuffs belong to Detective White
and he still refuses to believe that the
boy got them Off
The boy pleaded guilty to two counts
of larceny in Juvenile court this morn

The Plaintiff Says She Alone Was Rs

Received Three Letters
By associated Press.

New York, March 29.-Miss Rae
Tanzei, who is suing James w. Osborne,
former Assistant District ATTORNEY of
New York, for $4,000 for alleged
breach of promise, was mistaken in her
identification of Mr.. Osborne as the
man who wooed her under the name of
Oliver Osborne. according to Harold A.
Speilberg, who announced to-day that
ne had been retained by Miss Tanzer
as her counsel Speilberg conferred
with United States District Attorney
Marshall to-day, and later said Miss
Tanner would be produced at Mr.. Mar.
shall IS Office and announce that she was
mistaken.
Her Lawyers Not Responsible
The mistake, Mr. Speilberg said, was
wholly due to Miss Tanner, and Slade 6
Slade, her former lawyers, were in no
way connected with the erroneous
Identification further than conducting
the case.
Assistant District Attorney Wood
corroborated Mr.. Speilberg. Mr.! Wood
admitted that the woman witness upon
whom the government relied to shatter
Miss Tanzer's charges was none other
than Miss Tanner herself.
1t was understood that Miss Tanzer
was prepared to tell the District Attor-
ney that she alone was responsible for
identifying James w. Osborne as Oil
yer Osborne, author of the three letters
which she charges she received
Whether the government s investiga-
tion of the charges against Miss Tanner
would stop there was unknown. Miss
Tanzer is at liberty under So, ,000 bond
on charge of using the mails to de-
fraud. This is an outgrowth of her suit
against James w. Osborne for $4,000
damages.
Mr.. Speilberg reappeared with Miss
Tanner at the District Attorneys office
shortly before noon. Before going with
his client into Mr.. Marshall S Office Mr..
Speilberg said that cit was not a ques-
tion of a confession and that Miss
Tanner would merely make statement.
Miss Tanzer's Statement
Before United States District Az
torney Marshall would take Miss Tan
zer's statement, he prepared a waiver
of immunity for her to sign. She af
fixed her name and her signature was
witnessed by her new counsel, Harold
A. Speilberg. Then she sat down in the
Office of Assistant District Attorney
Wood and began to tell her story. 1t
was said she would be at it all after
noon.
