for this city via China, the Pacific and
San Francisco.

uniformed patrolman carries with it
pay increase of about 5000 a year.

was instructed through the District
Attorney by Judge Malone that Gaffney
must be returned te lawful custody"
summoned 800 patrolmen to the gym

day and spurred them on by offering
the successful patrolman promotion to
the rank of first grade detective. The
salary Of patrolman is 81 500 and
that of a first grade detective is S2,45O
Tie call for the patrolmen was
ostensibly for the purpose of listening
to the Police Commissioner make an
appeal for the support of the police
field days to be held on August "a and
81. In reality, however, it was to
notify the patrolmen that they must be
alert in apprehending the convicted
slayer, who since his escape from the
Tombs on June II succeeded in elud-
ing the police after they had him
"cornered"
About noon yesterday traffic patrol

said that Gaffney who escaped from
the Tombs might be riding.

Anne rcan flag, torn from the mast
head Of the little schooner Lena May,
one of the fishermen sunk by a Ger

coast Saturday, was taken aboard the
enemy craft by a German officer, who
wrapped it around his neck and gaveta
grotesque exhibition of dancing. while
his men, each armed with a revolver,
looked on and cheered
This was the story told here o-day
by survivors Of the vessel, who were
forced to witness the performance. The
fishermen had been ordered aboard the
U-boat, where ten of them stood

for the picture they we're jeered by the
Uboat crew and knocked about when
they failed to move as rapidly as the
commander ordered.
The mate of the Lena May declared
that the Germans were drunk.
AT least they were half shot" he
said. "You would have thought that,
too. had you seen the dance Of the Ger
man officer, with the Stars and Stripes
draped about his shoulders, and heard
the cheering as the flag finally was
flung down and stamped on, amid
shricks from our captors And you
whould have thought again they were
drunk when, finding n side Of fresh

Brotherhood Men

War Board Is Told
Taking of Testimony Begun
on Complaint of Locomo-

The taking of testimony in the COM
plant OF the Brotherhood of Locomo

Rapid Transit Company was begun by
Examiners Henderson and Ogburn for
the National War Labor Board in the
Federal Building here yesterday.
week ago the promise of the War
Labor Board to arbitrate in this case
came just in time to hold off a strike
OF motormen and motr switchmen,
which union men declare would have
tied up the entire elevated and sub
The brotherhood then declared it was
being Disseminated against by the
company. 1t sought recognition and
reinstatement Of employees who, it
claimed, had been dismissed for /no
reason than that they had affiliated
themselves with the union. An elabo-
rate spy system, it charged, was main
tanned by the company to ferret out
any men who interested themselves in
trade union affairs.
In reply the B. r. T. officials, after
ignoring request from Mayor Hylan
to submit to a conference with the
men, declared that the Brotherho ood
Of Locomotive Engineers was an out
side body which was trying to inter
fere in company matters; that the men
had their own union, approved by the
company, with which they were quite
content, and that there was according
ly nothing to arbitrate."
Yesterday Assistant Grand Chief l..
G. Griffing of the brotherhood appeared
before the examiners and presented
testimony by John r. Dixon, a dis
charged motorman, that he had re-
ceived warning from Vice President
J. J. Dempsey Of the B. r. T. not
to join the brotherhood. When he ig-
nored this advice, Dixon said, he was
reprimanded for making an error in
his manner Of stopping train at the
Sheepshead Bay station; whereas, ac-
cording to his own view, no error of
any sort was committed.
A little later he was dismissed out
right upon what he asserts were
"trumped up charges" The latter had
to do with circular signed by Dixon
as a union committeeman, in which it
was declared that the B. R. T. was
discharging men for joining the union.
Vice-President Dempsey and Chief
Counsel Yeomans represented the B.
R. T. The hearing will be continued
to-day.

8 Spanish Grip

Eight cases of what may be Span

Norwe egian-American lintr which ar
rived at an Atlantic port s-sday.
On the trip from Norwc two pas

were buried at sea. When the vessel
reached port she was boarded by the
staff of the Health Officer and later
was released from quarantine Immi-

passengers were permitted to go

Disease Swept Spain
Grip, while regarded as con-
taglous disease, has not been a cause
for detention at either Hoffman or
Swinburne islands,
Spanish influence is highly infec-
tous disease that broke out in the
Spanish peninsula some three or four
months ago, spreading rapidly through
out the continent and causing many
deaths. 1t found its way into Ger
many and its death toll there is said
to have been heavy.
The passenger complement of the
Norwegian steamship was made up of
travellers from Denmark, Germany
and Southern Norway and Sweden.
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Health Com
missioner, said last night that the
case had not been brought to his
notice. He refused to get alarmed over
the Spanish influenza scare. He said:
LAS soon as any such case is re.
ported we Immediately send our OK
pert inspectors that boat, and if
we find even a trace of contagious dis
ease we Immediately see that every one
is quarantined.

ways taken the greatest precautions
against an epidemic We shall con.
tinue to do SO. Our rules are rigie
in such cases, and we see that they are

Gowanus U-Boat Chasers
Land Fleet Of Boxed Autos
Brooklyn Police and United States Marshal Search in Vain
for Submarine, in Sections, Ready To Be Assembled
and Sent Forth Mission of Destruction

All "hct up" by the tales Of u
boats off Fire Island, Brooklyn went
out submarine hunting yesterday. The
scene of the doughty expedition was
the Gowanus Canal.
Out Of Washington, Sc the rumor
ran, had como tip, red hot and steam
'ng, that a zeal. honest-to- goodness u
Loaf was lying, in sections. along that
Justly celebrated waterway between
Fourth and Bond Streets.
What excited the Brooklyn authori-
ties most, however, was the informa-
tion that this Uboat was made with
malice aforethought, so that it could
be assembled for its work of deadly
destruction in the incredibly short
space of forty-eight hours.
The information also was vouchsafed
that each section was incased in an
"incredibly strong" crate, all neatly
New-York tribune., 1918-08-14

docketed and serially numbered, but
that didn't prevent the word passing
through Brooklyn that the tiendish i'm
plement was probably often fitted to-
gether during the long nights and
sent forth on its deeds of desperation.
1t was with the greatest circum-
spection that the police boat "Patrol"
slipped up the tapping waters of Co
wanus Canal while posse of deputies
under United States Marshal James
M. Power closed in from the rear.
They "bcat the neighborhood" for
several hours. They looked in all the
closets and under all the beds. Yet
nothing in the least resembling Brook
lyn's idea Of submarine could they
find. At length, though. just as they
were about to give it up and send in
an official report that the pieces were
too small to he seen. one of the eagle
eyed deputies stumbled across about
800 Grated automobiles, addressed to
foreign consignees.
Now Brooklyn is investigating the
autOmo obiles
