Prendergast Traces
Riverside Fight
Controller Testifies Plan Sug-
gested in 1916 Best Solu-
ton Yet Offered

At the second public hearing Of the
West Side Improvement Committee in
the library of the Chamber Of Com
merce Controller William A. Prender-
CAST traced the history of what the city
had done since 1911 in the matter OF
improvements in the controversy with
the New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad.
The Controller said the first impor-
tant step taken after the enactment OF
the law of 1911 was the fling by the
railroad of plans and profles Of the
proposed improvements, which were re-
ferred to a committee. The legislative
act of 1911, Mr.. Prenaergast said, linn
tied too much the powers OF the city
For this reason both lie end Mayor
Mitchell signed protest against 1t.
Mr.. Prendergast said he favored the
form of contract drawn up IN 1910
which he characterized as a "give-and-
take plan Of bargaining
All attempts to induce other rail
roads TO join in building or maintaining
2 Joint traffic way along the West Side
have been futile, Mr.. Prendergast said
He testified that the value OF the
rights accrung to the New York Cen
trial under the proposed 1915 plan had
been estimated at S12,000,00O, exclud
ing real estate, and S25,000,0OO, includ-
ing the real estate involved.
At the hearing at o'clock this after
noon Ira A. Place, vice president m
charge of the law department OF the
New York Central, will be the principal
witness.

F Class of Submarines
Has Met With Disaster

Disaster and death have pursued the
F class of submarines in the American
navy ever since the four vessels, which
It comprises, were completed in 1872
and 1918. Only the history of the ill
fated A class Of British submarines af'
fords a comparison, and even here the
loss to the American group stands out
as far more serious.
Only one of the four + class sub
marines in the United States service
has escaped serious accident. and that
is the F-2. Mondays disaster to the
FL first Of all recalls the loss of the
F-4. with her crew Of twenty-one men,
off Honolulu harbor, on March 25, 1915.
Early that day. Lieutenant Eide, COM
mander of the F-4, took the submersi-
bic out of the hsrbor for short cruise.
She never came back, and it was thirty
six hours before J. hulk was located
on the bottom some distance from
shore. Battery trouble was believed
to have caused the disaster, though the
exact cause was never established. The
government spent $4,000 to raise the
F-4. an operation which required four
weeks.
Mondays fatality also recalls the fact
that in April, 1912, shortly after she
had been put into commission, the FL
was imprisoned on the bottom CT San
Francisco Bay for an hour, when an
anchor cable jammed in a hawse pipe.
Her crew had almost despaired of being
saved, when the boat shot upward and
reared out Of the water fifty feet, her
bow upright.
In the history of the submarine
Navy Department records show there
have been twenty fatal disasters, cost
ing about 100 lives. Half of these have
resulted from the failure Of submarines
to emerge from the bottom. United
States submarines have sustained many
accidents, but few have been serious.
Both the E-2. in April, 1915, and the
H.3, In December, 1916, narrowly es-
capped disaster when the crews were
trapped on the bottom and forced to
tight against the fumes of chlorine gas
for their lives.
In July, 1916, an explosion on the AT
off Manila Bay resulted in the death OF
the commander and four men. In
March. 1912, the CO. victim of three
accidents in its career, went ashore off
Longport. n. j., and was badly crippled
by the time it was raised. During the
fleets war maneuvres in May,
1915, three of the submarines engaged
were disabled and forced TO be towed 20
port.

Hylan Conferred
With Glynn on New
Machine for State
Politicians See New Coali-

of New York City
Especial Correspondence

ALBANY, Dec. 1S.-Whilc Mayor
elect John F. Hyan was in Albany to
see Governor Whitman yesterday and
secure his pledge Of cooperation in any
legislation the Hyan administration
attempts for the betterment Of the New
York City government, the Mayor-elect
called upon former Governor Martin
II. Glynn, and in the eyes of the politi-
cal observers this conference was fully
as important as his talk with the Gov
ernor.
The planning Of a HylanHearst-
Glynn combination to unseat Charles
f. Murphy as far as state politics Is
concerned and build up the Democratic
machine throughout New York State IS
thought by many TO have been the nam
object of the new Mayors visit to eN-
Governor Glynn. IL was Mr.. Glynn
who. when he was Governor IN 1914,
named Judge Hylan county judge, and
the incoming Mayor IS said. to feel
deeply indebted TO Mr.. Glynn i2r tins
service.
In Albany it is generally thought
that William Randolph Hearst wants
TO run for Governor next year on the
Democratic ticket. and they believe has
recent spill. with Governor Whitman
WAS caused more than anything else by
this desire and the consequent neces-
sity of seeing nothing good In what
the Governor is doing.
During the recent campaign, Charles
+. Murphy was bitterly attacked By
Patrick +. McCabe, Of Alabny, former
clerk of the Senate, and politicians who
knew both men realized there was no
"camouhage" in this fight. Mr.. Nc
Cabc said uncomplimentary things
about the Tammany leader that he
really meant. lie and Ex-Governor
Glynn arc very close. politically and
otherwise. so the natural inference is
that, in the mathematician order
of things. Mr.. McCabc and Mr.. Glynn
will get their heads together in run
ming upstate affai s, perhaps picking
some good Democrat to conduct af-
fairs of the recognized Democratic
party in the western part of the state
II an effort really is made by Judge
Hylan and his friends to get out from
under the influence and leadership Of
Mr. Murphy in state politics. the first
reflection of it probably would come in
the selection Of a chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, to sue
coed Edward 5. Harris, who has an
nounced that he will not again be q
candidate for that Office.
