FIRST SUBMARINE
Rescue the Holland from
Scrap Heap for Preser-
walton in Museum.

The first submarine, the Holland, has
been saved from the scrap heap by Dr.
Peter j. Gibbons and his son. Austin
Flint Gibbons, of 269 Madison Avenue.
"We bought the boat to save 1t from
being converted into scrap metal, just
as we would step in and buy some
noted trotter destined for the bone
yard, or give a decent burial to one
who had died penniless but who in
life amounted to something said Dr.
Gibbons yesterday.
The physician said he would keep the
boat until some city or university Of

came an offer to place the boat on a

and launched, and where John b. Hol-
land, son of the inventor, and Walter
A. Hall, member of its crew, now
live.
Walter A. Hall, of Philip Road,
Elizabeth, N. j., was sailor and me-
ohanic on the Holland. Crews of later
submarines and Annapolis midshipmen
were trained in her, Scanlon said yes
terday.
THE Holland was like a blind man
fighting in a trench" ScanlOn added.
"She had no periscope, and We had to
do our best to see through the green
water. Once we got lost off Sandy
Hook, and for four hours the boats that
were standing by thought that we were
lost.
"Just for an experiment, once, we
shot big dog out Of torpedo tube.
The dog came to the surface all o. X,

"But with the submarine, like many
other things, we allowed Europe to
make the best use of it after we had
invented it,"

RICHMOND MOVES
TOQUIT NEW YORK
Committees Are Appointed
to Consider Plans for
Proposed Separation.

The Separation Committee of Staten
Island, an organization of various civic
bodies, met last night in the Borough
Hall, in St. George, to discuss the ad-
visibility of the separation of the
Borough Of Richmond from the City of
New York.
Although the secession sentiment
among the residents of the island has
been heightened by the proposed cree
tion of a garbage reduction plant in
the borough, il was said last night
many other matters concerning the
borough's relations with the city gov
eminent were behind the movement.
While no definite plan of action was
adopted, it was suggested by Francis
f. Leman, chairman of the Vigilance
Committee of 100, that a bill. similar
in form to the bill framed by Far Rock
away, be presented 10 the Legislature
January l.
William Writ Mills, president of the
separation committee, appointed COM
mittees TO investigate the questions of
Staten Islands Indebtedness to the city
its budget, charter and resources and
the questions of municipal regulations
transportation and relations with New
Jersey.
Mr.. Leman visited Judge Crane, of
the Brooklyn Supreme Court, yesterday
to apply for a new hearing or to delay
enforcement of the writ commanding
Borough President Calvin d. Van Name
and Acting Superintendent of Build
ings Langere to issue a permit for the
erection of the much discussed garbage
plant at Lake Island. Failing in his
attempts, Mr.. Leman announced last
night the permit would probably be is

Arbitration Binding;
Mediation Is Not

The Newlands act, under which the
present negotiations between the rail
ways and their men are being con-
Quoted, provides two distinct methods
for bringing labor diputes to settle
ment. The first method is through
mediation and Cancellation; the second
is through arbitration. It is the first
method that is being tried now. Ne
gotiations toward mediation and con-
Citation are held in secret, and
neither side is bound to abide by pro-
posed agreements that arise under
them.
Arbitration, on the other hand, is
conducted in public, hearing OF both
sides of the questions specified is
held. and the decision made by the
board of arbitration is binding upon
both parties, just as much as the
verdict of a court of original jursdic-
ton. There is an appeal possible from
arbitration awards upon errors Of law
apparent in the record, just as from
a court record.
The process Of mediation and con-
citation cannot be forced upon either
party TO a dispute by the government
action leading to it usually arising
from one of the parties to the con-
al with the other party; the utmost
the government can do in bringing on
mediation and Cancellation is for the
Board of Mediation and Cancellation TO
proffer its services in case an inter
ruption of traffic is imminent and liable
to cause great public inconvenience.
Neither can arbitration be forced by
the government. 1t can be instituted
only by the consent of both parties;
but once started they are under COM
pulsion to see it through.
The process of arbitration is pro-
vided for in the next section as fol-
lows: whenever a controversy shall
arise which cannot be settled
through mediation and Cancellation
such controversy may be sub
mitted to the arbitration of board
of six, or if the parties to the eontro-
versy prefer so to stipulate, to board
of three persons.
Each side chooses third of the
board and these two thirds choose the
rest; or, if they fail the membership
of the board is completed by the Board
of Mediation and Cancellation.

The mediation board. consisting OF
Judge Knapp, chairman, Judge W. L.

meets TO hold several more meetings.
The conference with the four Brother
hood presidents and 600 adjustment
chairmen, at Webster Hall, was con-
fined TO a statement of the trainmen's
case and their determination to get
what they ask. by strike if necessary.
When the mediators left the hall, Mr..
Hanger said something definite might
be given the public in twenty-four
hours. but the fact that after the board
met the railroad managers a second
time in the afternoon the mediators
were uncertain which side TO meet
next. cast doubt upon this,
The nineteen members of the rail-
road managers conference committee
requested the mediators TO change the
afternoon meeting place and keep it
secret so that they might not be inter-
rupted by reporters. SO the Federal
board and the managers went to Room
1l9 in the BiltmOre at o'clock and
stationed two guards at the entrance
10 the suite.
The board had expected to finish
its work in forty-eight hours from the
time il started, but it was asserted by
railroad men yesterday that it would
be impossible 10 get sufficient grasp OF
the situation in that time to arrive at
basis of possible agreement.
Railroad men expect the medlators
will find themselves up against a hope

Fitzgerald Tells Employees How
TO Organize Locals-Massa'
chusetts Lawyer Here.

William Il. Fitzgerald, who led the
trolley men in the recent strike, gave
advice yesterday to committees repre-
senting employees of the New York Rail
ways Company and the New York 4
Queens Railway Company. lie told
them how to organize local divisions
of the Amalgamated Association OF
Street and Electric Railways Employees
of America, and how to draw up de-
mands on the companies.
"No date has been set for the con-
ference with representatives OF the
companies" he said last night, but
it will probably not be for several
days. We are hurrying and hope to be
ready to present our demands soon"
The committees of both the green
and red car companies have already
begun drawing up their complaints
While much attention is paid to higher
wages one of the principal points Will
be the Encouragement of schedules ana
working hours. The men assert they
are on duty from twelve to seventeen
hours and frequently get in only SIX
or eight hours work in that time.
Would Equalize Hours.
eve want to equalize the working
hours and give every man, II posslple,,
the same amount of work in day,
said Mr. Fitzgerald.
The carmen will contend for the
strict enforcement of the provision Oh
the state railroad law, which provides
that they may not be worked more
than ten hours out of twelve. Inc
practice in Boston, Pittsburgh and
Buffalo is considered "a model sys-
tenn" and it is likely 20 be incorpo-
rated in the demands. In Boston the
men work nine hours out of eleven
on duty, in Pittsburgh, nine and ten
hours of out of twelve, and in Buffalo,
twelve consecutive hours. The Boston
plan is considered the lest.
Preliminary meetings were held yes
terday by employees committees OF the
Second Avenue Railroad Company, the
Blue line, and the Richmond Light d.
Railroad Company, on Staten Island.
Their work of drawing up demands Is
expected to begin to-day, The commit
tee Of the blue line employees went
over the details at a special meeting
last night in Lyceum Hall.
Massachusetts, Lawyer Here.
The presence in New York yesterday OF
James H. Vahey, attorney for the twenty
Massachusetts, divisions Of the car
mems association, strengthened the be
lief that New York workers intended
to ask for the Boston system. Vahey
said he was here merely on general
business of the association, but would
not deny he had conferred with lead
ers.
Mr.. Fitzgerald also said last night
the organization of the subway ana
elevated employees was proceeding rap
idly. 1t is probable that the meeting
to perfect the organization and elect
officers will be held within week.

MYSTERY IN SINKING
OF TUG AT HOBOkEN
German Ships Guard Had NO
Explosion or Collision.

A rumblng as OF thunder aroused
the crew of the ocean-going tug Pol
lock. whose searchlight watches over
the interned North German Lloyd I'm
ers at Hoboken, early yesterday morn
ing. The watches had just changed,
and as the men below tumbled on deck
the vessel lurched, and wave swept
the length of its deck. While the
crew we're scrambling up the Jacobs
ladder of the informed Barbarossa, the
Pollock sank by the stern near Pier z.
The ten men on board got of safely.
Captain George Stenken said there was
no crash as Of n collision, but that
the boat sank as if its bottom had
dropped out. The lookout saw no
other craft.
Earlier in the night watchmen on
the pier had warned away a motor
boat that persisted in running in tow
ard the big liners.
Wreckers started to raise the tug
last night.

JAPANESE QUIT CALIFORNIA
Marquis Inouye Says More Are Leaving
Than Arriving.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 1O.-That
there are fewer japanese in California
is asserted by Marquis Katsonuske
Inouye, retiring japanese Ambassador
TO England, who is here to-day, en- route
10 Japan.
"There has been much talk Of late, "
the ambassador said. "about the in
crease of the japanese in the United
States and elsewhere, and this is par
ticularly so with reference to Cali
fornia. 1t may interest you to know
that more japanese have left San Fran
cisco recently for their native land than
have gone to California. They have
only gone there to study Western
methods, which they apply to their
business on their return. They do not
wish to stay in California and they are
not staying there"

To Entertain Crew.

A German importer of New London
offered to give 81 900 toward purse
to be divided among the crew of the
Bremen when it arrived. Already steps
are being taken toward organizing a
reception for them. Steamship and
railroad companies entering New Lon,
don deny having received any unusual
quantity of rubber, nickel or other
commodities which might be intended
for the Bremen's return cargo.
Many kept watch with field glasses
along the shore, peering out into the
mist to catch the first sight of the sea
dodger. Early yesterday morning an
oxcitable and persistent watcher caught
sight of a periscope and quickly spread
the news that the Bremen was on hand:
II proved to be the L-3l Of the United
States navy on the way to the sub
marine base at East New London.

New Warehouse Cited.

With equal gertrude the wiseacres
of New London pointed to the workmen
toiling to construct huge warehouse
beside the 81 100000 state pier as cor
roboration of their assertion that the
Bremen was expected. According to the
contract the work must be done by
next Thursday. The tour of inspection
made by the officials of the Eastern
Forwarding Company and arrangements
they made for years option on 300
feet of the pier near the warehouse
are facts that have strengthened the
conviction that the Bremen or another
undersea merchantmen IS to dock at
New London.

coast and might dash into an American
port at any moment Norfolk, Va, ex-
pected the submersible to enter Chesa-

that it would turn up there within a
few days,
Some inkling of New London's faith
reached Norfolk and Immediately the
report spread that the Bremen had
entered the three-mile limit of the
New England coast and was coming
south awash. Despite the earlier stories
that the Bremen had sunk or been
captured, Norfolk is firmly convinced
that the Eastern Forwarding Company
has had recent tidings of its vessel
and that the thick weather may shortly
bring it through the patrol OF the Al
