Dn5lin. Sunday even5TE. ApRiI630-- via London, May 1-Rebals Of the rank and file followed the example of their leaders this morning and req Azed the cause of the Irish republic was lost by laying down their arms at the foot of the Parne1 Monument in SackvilIe street and surrendering to British troops
 About 45O of them. who had fought since Monday in this central area, marched out from their strongholds under the white flag and gave them selves up A few irreconcilable con- itinued sniping from lairs difficult to locate, on roofs or among erafters of buildings nearby.
 swearing heather green uniform and carrying a white flag, came in with a Eguard of 10 men from the adjoining county Of Meath to learn the truth about rumors of a general surrender. The party marched off to the castle and learned from J. H. Pearce, who was named provisional president of the Irish republic, that the move ment had collapsed and was advised to resist no longer. The lieutenant and his escort then started out to par ley with the rebels in the country dis ftrtcts in an effort to induce them to lay down their arms.
 James Connolly, one of the leaders of the uprising, is said by govern ment officials to be 8 prisoner, wounded, in the castle.
 A correspondent of the Associated Press visited the entire area of the disturbance today. The desoIation and destruction showed how severe the fighting was while it lasted. On the road leading to the four courts building, one found that all the win dows had been shattered The rebels had held the building in force for a week Valuable law reference books and furniture were utilized to parri- cade windows and through inter eytices between the bulky volumes the rebels sniped without cessation, day and night and were fired on in turn until they were com pelled to evacu- ate the premises.
 Houses all around were hit by bull let's Some of them were barricaded with thick oaken blanks. Over Wine Tavern bridge there were similar scenes.
 This morning the streets were full of curious persons who were glad to have the opportunity to be about af- ter their long confinement during which they were deprived of food un-

Creditors Who Press Burr 6 Knapp Get Cash Back Funds of Depositors Help ed Pay Household FIX penses = Knapp Defends Action.
Hearing of Bankrupt Is Re opened Before Commis-
 sioner Today Comley Challenges Bowers Mo tive in Investigation Find Ridiculous Sales on Books.

Herbert M. Knapp, head of the former banking firm of Burr & Knapp, was called upon the witness stand be- fore Referee in Bankruptcy John w. Banks today to be examined by Spots wood D. Bowers, counsel for several creditors, as to his acts for the de- funct company and many entries that appear on the books.
 Among the facts disclosed at this mornings session, a continuanc9 of which is on this afternoon are these:
 Mrs. H. M. Knapp drew $1,SOO
 for her household expenses in ad-
 dition to her regular division of
 profits from the business and
 moneys. paid to her by her hus-
 band.
 Knapp, though many times
 worried about the finances of the
 company, believed up to the day
 of the receiversnip, that some
 thing would come up which
 would permit the concern to go
 on.'' A court award of $187,OOO
 to the Watervlfet Hydraulic Co.
 came too late to prevent catastro-
 phe.
 That the Fairview Lawn prop
 erty, recently sold for less than $1,0O0 was, as previously testified
 by Hervie Burr, worth between
 
 other securities of the company appraised at ridicu1ous1y low esti-'
 mates have since been sold for < large. sums of money.
 The Burr & Knapp Go. was ac-
 customed to kite checks upon the Georgia Loan & Trust Co. through the F'irst-Bridgeport Ma tiona1 Bank and that shortly be- fore the failure the practice was called irregular and Burr & Knapp were called upon to de- posit $125, 900 worth of securities with the local bank. The special $ account with the Georgia Loan & Trust Go. under which these check operations were, held, was disclosed to show totals of $392.- 900 worth of such transactions during May and June, 1914.
 An effort to disclose whether these check transactions had had the coun- tenance of the directors of the Geor- gia Loan & Trust Co. or had been done by Knapp personally was abor- tive and Knapp declared that he is not now a director of the company and if he were he would not disclose a list of the stockholders to the inves- tigators.
 Although $1so,ooO in drafts were re- turned to Bridgeport in 1914 with checks aggregating $1e9,500 the inves- t1gaf1on showed rhaq no recoruS were kept of the securities turned over to the Bridgeport bank.
 An attempt to show that a divided not was kept at one of the local banks for the express purpose of covering overdrafts was not clearly accounted for in the investigation today.
 Efforts to show that Mrs. Mary H. Burr was aware of transactions being made by the Burr & Knapp firm brought forth the assertion from the witness that if any criminal transac- tions should be uncovered in the i'm vestigation he was alone responsible and would accept the blame. It was disclosed, however, that in the sum- mer of 1913 the concern was much worried by financial conditions and that Mrs. Burr saved the day by hay ing a Mrs. Penf1e1d journey to Boston

WHISTLES FOOT AND
 SPECTATORS CHEER
Col. Roosevelt's Brother-in- Law Among Guests at
 Lake Go. Shipyards.

Amid the footing of whistles from many sea craft and factories, and a chorus of cheers from thousands of spectators, the L-5, tie first of eight submarine boats which the Lake Tor pedo Boat Go. is building for the United States government was launch ed today at the yards of the company at the foot of Seaview avenue. The launching went off without a hitch ex- cept for the fact that it took place 16 minutes ahead of the schedule time. It had been planned for 10:30 but the tide rose earlyIand Commander Rich ard H. M. Robinson, general manager of the company, rather than take a chance later gave the word to send the boat into the water.
 The boat was sent, stern first, into the channel on the south side between the Lake yards and Steep1echase Is- land. A stand about 25 feet high and built to accommodate about hum e--= persons had been erected at the bow of the boat which was well in shore. The boat rested on the usual cradle fixed to the underways which were covered thick1y with grease. The fore-end of this cradle is known as the nose" All that was necessary to effect the launching was the saving of the extended fore-ends of the bottom timber of this cradle known technf- cally as the, nose" This huge tim Der, bolted to the underways, held the boat in place.
 As the workInen, at a signal from Commander Robinson, began saving this timber his little daughter, Rosa lind Robinson, appeared at the center of the stand Long thin streamers of silk bunting extended down the bow of the boat and were Joined to a net work ofssiIk bunting yarn in which was eneased a bottle of c11ampa gne. Miss Robinson held this bottle up even with her shoulder and as the big tim Der was sawed through and the boat began slowly to slip along the ways she flung the bottle against the bow
 The bottle broke and the wine splashed over the sharp brow As 1t did Miss Robinson said f'I chrfsten L-5 for national defense"
 More than 5000 invitations had been issued by the Lake Torpedo Boat Go. and it Is estimated that fully that number were swarming in the Lake yards when the L-5 went off the ways Hundreds of others were perched on the bridge to Steep1echase Island, on the shores of the creeks in the vicin- ity on the roofs of nearby houses and on other vantage points.
 As the new submarine slid grace fully into the water the cheers from this multitude almost drowned the
