GIVES U-BoATS 8 MONTHS
Emil cathmann, Baltimore Ensl-
neer, Hopeful Of Invention.

BALTIMORE, May Emil Gath
mann, q Baltimore engineer, speaks
most hopefully today Of the outlook
for an American invention overcom-
ing the submarine. His statement
pore upon that OF Chairman william
L. Saunders, Of the Neval Consulting
Board, made Saturday in New York.
Mr.. Gathmann is an active member
OF the American Association OF Min
ing Engineers, OF which Mr.. Saunders
is president.
Seen at his home in walbrook, Mr..
Gathmann refused to discuss any in
vention Of his own. He would not
admit that he was the engineer who
discovered q part OF the invention
on which other engineers have work
ed, but he was unusually happy. and
with a very broad smile and with an
air of absolute confidence he author
lied this statement:
81 can only say this: Within three
or four months there will be no sub
marine menaces. The plan that will
mean the eradication OF the German
U-boat as q real menace will take
about that time to be worked out.
When II has been worked out and Is
in actual operation. then a statement
OF some kind may be made"
An invention, It is said by a good
authority, was completed by Mr..
Gathmann at the plant OF the Gath
mann Engineering Company at Texas,
Baltimore county, about three weeks
ago.
At that time Mr.. Gathmann went
to Washington for Sunday night
conference with a naval official and
as a result naval engineers came to
Baltimore the following day. II Is
understood that they spent the next
three days at the plant OF Mr.. Gath
mann, testing the invention which he
had perfected and working out in
theory the plan which he had sug-
gested for the use OF his invention.
The invention, It is understood, was
approved and then the naval authori-
ties got in touch with other engineers
who had submitted other plans, and
these other engineers we're told OF
the Gathmenn invention. AS q re-
suit, about twenty separate inven-
tions were submitted by as many diff
ferent engineers, all OF them based
on the Gathmann invention. The en-
tire plan was then taken under con-
sideration by Mr.. Saunders, who sub
mitted Il to Mr.. Edison. Tests OF
the whole plan on the Atlantic Coast
then followed and, according to the
statement made by Mr.. Saunders and
the hints made by Mr.. Gathmann;
they proved the invention a success.

CLOSES DOORS ON SPY BILL
Senators Consider Embargo Cues
tIon In Executive Session.

The Senate took the unusual course
today OF holding a secret legislative
session for the consideration OF the
espionage bill.
Soon after the eSnate met, Senator
Martin moved that the doors be clos
ed. No statement with respect to
the reason for It was made. II 70
understood to relate to certain phases
OF the embargo question. The Sem
ate recently amended the bill 80 that
the President can embargo products
only when they are supposed to be
going directly, or Indirectly to an
enemy country This amendment 10
not satisfactory to the White House
and the President has urged Demoe
cratic leaders to open the question
up again and adopt the original en-
barge provision. which would give
the President sweeping authority to
embargo any American product.
