R0CKNER DEFIES
POLICE: ORDERS
Peddler Makes Charges
Against P~atrolman-.
Case is in Court.

AS a result of violating the traffic
regulations last night, Harry Rock
ner. a peddler, was arrested by
Patrolman Frank Donahey and says
that he got a thrashing for good
measure. The patrolman says he
didn't. L.. -. @
It. appears that Rockner was COM
Ing down Third street with his cart
and when he reached the intersection
at DeMers avenue he, found passage
stopped for that thoroughfare. Rock
ner failed to heed the signal to stop
and waded right into the traffic with
the result that an automobile coming
from h opposite direction nearly
ran him down.
The patrolman then ordered Rock
ner to drive to the curb and stop, but
Rockner merely laughed, and drove
on in the direction of the Alpha ave-
nue. intersection.
Eventually Rockner landed at the
police station with a traffic rule yio-
lation charged against him. This
morning he appeared before Police
Magistrate r. j. Purcell, with Attor-
ney j. B. Wineman as his counsel.
Mr.. Wineman asked for a continu-
ance of the case until August IA.
While in court this morning Rock
ner showed what he claimed to be
Dlue n black marks received from
rough handling by the policeman.
On the other hand, it was said that
Rockner had resisted arrest on the
ground that he did not want Donahey
to run him in," but that If Officer
Bliven would call for him. he would
go quietly to the police station. When
Mr.. Bliven arrived on the scene,
Rockner still resisted arrest and it
was necessary to use force in making
him obey. This is the version of the
police.
Rockner's counsel claims that
Patrolman Donahey took the law in
to his own hands and said he would
investigate the matter, which has al-
so been brought to the attention Of
Mayor H. M. Wheeler.

JOUR- SUBMARINES
CROSS ATLANTIC
Fleet Of American PIungers
Braves Bitter Gales, But
Arrives Safely.
MANY DRIVEN FROM COURSE
But Later Reach Destination and Join
in Fight Against the German
U-Boats.

Washington, April 10.-lR the face
OF bitter winter gales, American sub
marines, primarily designed for oper-
ations off the home coasts, have cross
ed the Atlantic Ocean to fight against
German U-boats. They are now aid.
ing allied naval forces, as are Ameri-
a destroyers and American naval
airmen, and they have been in the
wal zone for some months.
Secretary Daniels revealed that the
submarines had gone over there" in
his address at Cleveland last Satur-
day at a Liberty Loan celebration, but
gave no details. 1t is now possible to
tell for the first time of the midwin-
ter passage of the boast across the
seas in the face OF the most seyere
weather known in years. In the peril
u passages, the best traditions of
the service were maintained.
No Hint Of Departure.
The first submarines to leave got
under way in early winter. Arrange
ments for the trip were made without
a hint appearing in the papers, and,
in fact, until Secretary Daniels spoke,
no word had been published of the
participation of the under water boats
in the war against Germany.
The navy had some experience with
long distance work with submarines
on which to draw, Boats have been
sent to the Philippines, to Hawaii and
10 Panama, but always in mild sea
sons of the year and with plenty of
time for precautionary steps.
Crossed Without Disaster.
This time, however, they were to
80 in winter, and a terrible winter at
that, with the Atlantic in its ugliest
mood. The steps taken to get them
across cannot be disclosed, but the
fact the department had no disaster
to record is pointed to as proof OF
their efficiency
Officers and men of the submarines
faced hard days as they put out
Cramped in narrow quarters and witt
storms in prospect, they steered tC
sea with complete confidence in them
selves and their boats. A laconic re
port OF uneyentful voyages bore on
that confidence.
