CHICAGO. June 16.-Bearish views on

Tells Commissioners
 How to Build G. Family
 House on 35-Foot Lot

How to build a six family house on a 35 foot lot was explained this morn ing by Jacob Levy, who told three commissioners in the superior court how the tenement problem is handled in the West End. Levy. who is a West End real estate dealer and owns considerable property himself, said 1t was the custom to arrange three room flats. The houses were extend- ed far enough in the rear to allow for three flats on each side of the building. Levy said he owned two such buildings in Bestwick avenue from which he derived rent of $1 800 a year. v
 He was called as a witness in the condemnation proceedings brought by the city of Bridgeport against Edwin Langdon, administrator on the Ma thaniel Worden estate. The city wants the Worden property on Cedar creek for pumping station but could not come to an agreement with the Wor- den estate regarding the purchase price. The administrator asks $9S,- 900, while the city thinks the proper ty is worth only aboAt one third as much. Levy said lots in Morris street in the vicinity of the Worden proper ty sold for $500 and s1 060 each
 The commissioners are Fred A. Taff of Stamford, Attorneys J. Birney Tut tie and John N. Wheeler of New Ha- ven The hearing was continued this afternoon.

 IN CELEBRATION
Michael Strizzi Urges Hear CTS to Strive For Good
 Citizenship.

Urging that every citizen of foreign birth or nativity show his patriotism by being loyal to this country and its constitution, Michael Strizzi of Phila- delphia addressed a large audience at Columbus school today. Italian citi- zens held their observance of Column bus day at the Columbus statue which they presented to the school several years ago.
 MT. Strizzi briefly sketched the life and times of Columbus, his aims and ambitions and his dream of finding what might be in the mystic realms into which no European navigator had sailed and returned to tell about.
 MT. Strizzi said the world owed a great debt to Columbus and urged Italian citizens and their descendants to pay tribute to his memory by be- coming useful and law abiding citizens of the Republic.
 Other speakers were Frank Frassa, who was marshal of the parade,

STRIKERS BEGIN
 SIEGE AGAINST
 BAY0NNE POLICE

Bayonne, N. J., Oct. 12-The, streets approaching the Constable Hook sec ton of this city resembled today an armed camp. Thousands of strikers from the plants of the Standard Oil Co.,, Tidewater Oil Co.,, Vacuum Oil Co.,, Pacific Coast Borax Co. and the General Chemical had established a "dead line" across the approaches to those plants.
 Inside this line between the strikers and the oil plants, nearly 100 police men were stationed in a fire engine house guarding the plants from at- tack while a few other policemen and 75 deputy sheriffs held possession of headquarters.
 There were no signs of cessation of the labor war which caused the clash yesterday of police and strikers in which one woman spectator was kill ed and IS or 20 strikers were wound ed. This fight took place, according to the police, when the strikers inter fered with the firemen attempting to fight blaze and cut the hose.
 About 12.600 men have quit work in various plants at Constable Hook and virtually have besieged the police headquarters and fire station. The police were able to move about the city only in groups, generally making sallies in automobiles and returning to suppress minor outbreaks,

SUBMARINE RAIDr OFFERS PROBLEM
 FOR STATE DEPT

Washington. Oct. 12.-State depart Dlent officials today were pbndering the question of whether the United States shall acknowledge the raid of the German war submarine U-3o on allied shipping off Nantucket last Sun day, as legal. The problem was con- sidered of gYeat importance not only in it's relation to that particular raid. but because of the probability that 1t will . establish a precedent affecting possible future submarine forays of similar nature.
 Much forethought was being given to potential developments, such as that German unde1sea boats might be able to extend their operations to- such an extent as to effect practically block ade of American ports or that the al- lied powers might decide to Ipress harder their demand that entry into American ports be denied adl under water craft of belligerents. Resting on determination of this nations atti- tude toward the work of the U-53 Is the matter of soliciting indemnity for American cargoes lost with the sunken ships Only if the ships were sunk il- legally may claims be entered.
 The navy department today received a report from Rear Admiral Knight at Newport, giving detailed accounts from the commanders of four of the steam CTS sunk by a German submarine off the New England coast. Naval of- ficials refused to- comment upon its contents and it will be transmitted to Secretary Lansing for cr'study in conneo- if ha ino of policy of the United States. The re- port was written by Admiral Knights aide, who took statements from the commanders of the sunken vessels.
 Rear Admiral Gleaves, commanding the Atlantic destroyer fiotilla, repoft- ed today his personal belief that no steamer Kingston or Kingstonian was seen by the German submarine during it's operations off Nantucket light ship, After several days of search. the destroyer force has found no. evi- dence that a ship of that name was in the vicinity and if Admiral Gleaves' theory Is correct, only five ships were sunk. Admiral Gleaves' report fol- lows!
 .'Destroyers continued the search until midnight, Tuesday. from Mon- tauk Point to the Nantucket light ship. It is my personal belief that all survivors have been accounted for and that there was no steamer Kings ton or Kingstonian, the name Knud- sen having been understood by hail to be Kingston. Destroyers have return ed and search discontinued.
 The captain of one of the sunken ships said he had hailed a passing vessel which, later destroyed, and un- derstood her name to have been given as Kingstoon. The Knudsep was de- stroyed by the submarine i'm the same vicinity.

 Finally another titney man saw my car and upon making inquiry imme- diately arranged my bond.

 against me and as at that time could get no witnesses to the trouble the officers word was taken by the court and a fine of $ was given me- This I appealed and by hard search found

NAVY DEPT. READY, TO KEEP NEUTRAL
 WATERS GUARDED

WashinFton,, Oct. 12.-While no im- mediate steps are in contemplation for the actual establishment of a naval neutrality patrol along the Atlantic coast as result of the German sub- marine raid, the navy department nas completed definite plan to put into operation if the campaign continues.
 The entire destroyer force, active and reserve, assisted by light cruisers, navy tugs and other auxiliary craft, would be employed to protect American ter ritorial waters and prevent establish ment of any secret bases ashore or communication between shore radio station and befliger4nt craft.
 The possibility of mobilizing the force of privately owned motor boats along the coast, which have been en- rolled with their crews as a part of the naval reserve, was first considered, but various obstacles were encoun- tered. Naval militia officers and men already have been assigned to reserve ships for service if necessary.
