Eugene Walters Wife. the
Actress, Charlotte Walker,
Hopes for Reconciliation.

New York, Oct. 1l.-Miss Char
lotte Walker, the actress, wife of
Eugene Walter, intimated in an in
terview that the difficulty in which
her husband has become involved
in Los Angeles may result in re-
uniting him to her after a separa-
ton Of nearly three years.
I'm a crisis like this my place is
by my husband" she said, with
spirit. mo matter what my plans
may have been, certainly will not
seek a divorce now. No true wife
would desert her husband in an hour
of trial and | shall not leave Mr..
Walter. Nothing, is so impor-
tant in my life as a bad woman.
Although my husband has caused
me untold anguish and suffering, l
love him. L have loved him from
the very first and always shall. He
is wonderful man. am too happy
for words now that he has seen the
light. I knew he would, sooner or
later"
Gets word FROM HUSBAND.
The following telegram was re-
ceived by Miss Walker from her
husband:
II want to be the first to tell you
that l am involved in disagree
able scandal which will inevitably
result in a certain amount of pub
licity. The difficulty has resolved
itself into an attempt to obtain
money from me, but l think / shall
defeat it. Ny chief regret is the
annoyance and just indignation it
will cause you. Love"
Miss Walker Immediately wired
back that she would stick to her
husband.

and 1t Is absolutely certain that she
could have been recovered promptly
had appropriate equipment been avail
able at that station. AS it was, months
went by before the F-4 was raised to
the surface, and to achieve this she
was so roughly handled in getting her
into shallow water that it was out of
the question to establish the primary
cause of her fatal plunge.
A surface boat must be locked at
reasonably frequent intervals for the
purpose Of examining her bottom and
to discover the condition of the out
board ends Of all sea connections. Any
sign Of deterioration or weakness must
be dealt with at once in order that the
vessel may ride the waves with rea-
sonable security. All the more, then,
should a submarine be examined
oftener because of the hazards of her
service, and her tests should be of a
nature that will simulate deep water
work and the physical forces that
come into play when either by acct
dent or purpose she is submerged to
a depth OF quite 200 feet.
Simply because of the expense in

source Of inspiration to Students who
come to familiarize themselves with
its rare workmanship.
At the time of the proposal of the
building Of the present Arsenal much
competition arose as to which great

lege of drawing the plans. After many
suggestions by Van der Null. Siccards-

made grievous mistake in assuming
that a submarine once tested, would
not require retesting for from three
to five years. There are many things

quent intervals. And yet provision
should be made by which these insid-
ious and developing weaknesses could
be discovered without hazardlng the
lives OF all on board.
1t was just this state OF affairs,
brought home to the Germans by war
time stress. that impelled them TO do
that very thing which Mr.. Daniels
failed to do when funds were at his
disposal. What is more, the navy's
lack of a salvage craft of this charac-
ter was painfully emphasized in March
of 1918, when the F-4 went to the
bottom outside of the harbor OF Homo
lulu. 1t is probably no exaggeration
to say that that boat might never have
been lost had she been tested for hull
weaknesses Of one sort or another.

How War Jolted the Sullivan Law

against whom somebody with influence

trumped up charges and when
searched in the police station were
found to have one or more revolvers
in their possession. 1t made no diff
ference whether the revolvers were
in those pockets when the man was
arrested. The fact remained that
they were there when he was searched
He was guilty of a violation of the
Sullivan law. The police said so and
he might squat himself into apo
plexy for all the good protest was 60
ing to do him. In brief. the gentle
man had been framed and the guns
planted and he went to Jail and his
enemies made merry.
But, largely considered, the Sulli-
van law was an excellent bit OF leg
islation. If 1t did nothing else 1t
made the acquisition OF a revolver
rather harder OF accomplishment and

their artillery about the streets.

cident, its original first cost, its in
adequacy for tests OF the larger sub
marines Of the future, and the fact
that We have only one bidder for a
device OF special type and one little

rected that contract be not awarded

jected and that the requisition be can

strongly Of the opinion that this ap-
preparation could be much better used
In new submarine construction than in
the construction Of the testing pom

Briefly. TO carry out the same rea-
soning, Mr.. Daniels would not favor the
building of a drydock for battle craft
because the money available would not
cover the cost Of dock large enough
to take care of ships about to be con-
structed, quite regardless OF the needs
of those already in service. All he
had to do was to ask for more money
so that the contemplated salvage and
testing craft for submarines could
have been made Of ample size to &C

law, order and such, such rules as
the Sullivan law were more or less
ignored in Europe, where there never
was anything approximating such a
law anyway. Every officer and al
most every non-c commissioned officer
packed a gat whether he saw ac-
ton or not. The new Infantry Drill
Regulations specify that all officers
but only certain N. C. O.s shall carry
pistols or revolvers. But before the
armistice went into effect virtually
every N. c. o. and about fifty per
cent of all prlvates owned either an
automatic or a revolver-neat Ass
with a tremendous amount OF persua-
sion about them.
And when they returned to the
United States great majority OF them
fetched the gats along. 1t wasn't Diff
ficult for the officer. He had his bed
ding roll or locker trunk or both and
therein he carried his artillery. The
embarkation and rehabilitation in

veals how dangerously and unwitt-
ingly the margin of safety may be
reduced.
In ordinary operations the sub
marine commander is not called upon
to go deeper than a hundred feet, and

suffices for most military purposes.
But even so the officer In charge
should have some way Of making GER
tain just once so often that his boat
is in prime condition and that she
could be carried down 200 feet with
out fear OF structural ruptures that
would entail a disaster.
1t is not an easy thing along wide
stretches OF the Atlantic seaboard. for
instance, to find sheltered water 200
feet deep for the testing OF our sub
marines. In Long Island Sound there
are some spots where this is avail
able. but this is not convenient to the

play them. But one is not a soldier
very long before one becomes AN adept
at the business of getting away with
things and putting things over.
Any N. c. o. knew some officer
who would carry home the coveted
weapon in his personal baggage. The
same went for the privates. Then
there are other ways OF cheating the
inspecting officers. But such evasion
of military law is neither here nor
there. Other States beside New York
have anti-firearm laws, and the point
Of this story touches these communi-
ties as well as New York.
AS a result of the importation OF
these small arms there exist in New
York to-day about 5000 violations Of
the Sullivan law. 1t Is estimated that
scattered throughout New York city
alone there are 5000 pistols, revolv-
ers and rifles. all OF them in excellent
working condition and not one Of them
registered or covered by permit.
Reference is made only to those
brought over by troops. How many
there are outside this category is not
considered here.
Many Kinds Represented.
These firearms are to be classified
variously.
There are the automatics and six
shooters that are the personal prop
erty Of the officers who possess them.
Then there are the salvaged CATS
smuggled in by officers and men alike.
Then the souvenir Luegers and Maui
sers and the Austrian, Italian and
British pistols that could be picked up
in France and Belgium any day by
anybody on the front.
Next come the short cavalry car
bines OF the French and Belgian
armies and the neat Ehrfurt rifles of
the German troops. These rifles were
not so long as the Springfield or the
Enfield and could be and were SNUG
gled across the ocean In considerable
numbers and sundry ways.
Just what the police are going to do
about all this Is up to the police. Re-
cent reports OF small robberies have
shown that burglars do not fail to take
revolvers and pistols as we'll as silver
and money. And while there is no
indication that crime wave or a
revival of the old gangster days win
come to pass as a result OF this sudden
importation of service weapons, the
fact remains that the Sullivan law has

The Sullivan Law.
But the Sullivan law was adopted.
The Sullivan law not only made the
possessor of firearms amenable to
its punishment clause. but designated
a stiff fine and a jail sentence for
any person who sold such weapons to
any one not possessed Of a proper
permit. Those citizens who possessed
firearms were cautioned to report
such ownership to Police Headquarters
and, II Police Headquarters deemed It
wisdom to allow the registrant to re-

ever It CHANGED to be, the citizen was
given a permit for which he paid a

A Close Call.

Something like a year or SO ago one
OF the ranking officers of the navy died
OF pneumonia because of an unex.
pected spill into the cold sea The
small craft in which he was travelling
at the surface was Unexpectedly and
disastrously bumped into by an
emerging submarine. The latter vessel
had been carried deeper than was tho
intention of her commander. something
failed to work properly and her water
ballast was blown in desperate haste
to keep her from going down for good.
This was during the submarines test
ing. How many similar close calls
other American under water boats
have had has not been disclosed BY the
authorities, but the real story back OF
one record breaking exploit will suffice
to make 1t plain how grave are the
risks run at times.
The big submarine In question was
making preliminary trials In Long ISL
and Sound preparatory TO her deep
water test. For the tryout her nayi-
gator chose an area where the chart
indicated depth OF not more than
200 feet. Every well informed layman
now knows that subaqueous craft are
mechanically very complex and things
can go wrong II not carefully watched
especially is this SO when the boats
are new. Such was the case in the
instance under consideration; the pro-
posed schedule was upset. the hour set
for the submergence came and went
and time was lost before she was
ready for her dive. During the inter-
val her engines had been running.
