STRIKERS ARE QUIETER TODAY
 IN WATERBURY

:Continued from Page One.l Scovill Co.'S force, was much inn proved. Both men are expected to recover. They were shot in the riot. Half a dozen other persons were treated at the hospital for injuries caused by flying missiles, and it is thought that large number of strikers were attended by their fel- lows for minor hurts.
 Liberto Liso, the man alleged to have shot both Lieutenant of Police Richard LeRoy and Lieutenant John J. Bergin, denied having shot either of the police officers, in an ante mortem statement made to Coroner John T. Monzani, at St. Mary's hos pital yesterday. He did admit. how evr, that he had a gun and that he fired some shots in the air. When brought to the hospital Liso wore a holster attached to his belt. He stated to the coroner that his gun was shot out of his hand. This statement was corroborated by the fact that a bull let had shattered the little finger of his right hand, and the handle of his gun-~was broken the result of a bullet having hit t.
 Lso told Coroner Manzani that when the police started to move the crowd yesterday one of the policemen pushed him and that he took out his gun and shot into the air.
 The police place little credence in the ante-mortem statement, saying they have positive proof that Liso cut LeRoy and fired at Bergin.
 Seven men alleged to have taken part in yesterdays rioting were be- fore the police court today, charged with assault with intent to murder. Bonds were fixed at $1O,000 in each case and all cases were continued un- til Friday.

Philadelphia Sept. 6-Radio mes
sages flashed from the army transport
General Cocktails TO the Philadelphia
navy yard via Cape Cod told of the
rescue of the officers and crew of the
submarine SIS after they had passed
nearly two days locked in the disabled
vessel beneath the Atlantic ocean, 90
miles south of Cape Henlopen.
The submarine, S-5. which was par
TALLY flooded. is being tOwed to the
Delaware Breakwater by the steamer
Alanthus. The crew and officers of
the submarine are safe aboard the
steamer.
II was 3 O'Clock a. N. when Lieuten-
ant Commander c. NJ. Cook, who exer-
clsed his prerOgative of being the last
man to leave his vessel, was taken
aboard the steamer Alanthus.
Nine hours had elapsed since the
plight of the undersea boat had been
made public through a wireless call,
picked up by an amateur operator in
Pennington, Conn.
IT was small buoy, a development
of the world war, together with the
vigilant eye of lookout on the bridge
Of the transport General GOethals. that
gave the 80 men on the submerged
submarine So their chace for life.
The small buoy, with bell and buzz
ger device that can be operated when
the boat is submerged, is part of the
equipment of the latest type subma-
rines. 1t was cast loose when the So
went down. The lookout on the Cen
eral GOethalS saw it, being attracted
by its bell, as well as the fact that it
was not noted on the chart.
A small boat, with an officer In
command, was lowered from the trans
port to investigate. When the buoy
was reached the buzzer device could
be heard.
The officer cut into the connection.
and quickly there came this mes
sage:
1.-The submarine So has been sub
merged for thirty-five hours. Air is
running short. Machinery is damaged.
Send for help"
This plea was sent broadcast by the
wireless of the General Goethals.
Among those who responded was the
steamer Alanthus which with the army
transport stood by the submerged YES
sci and managed to attach graphing
hooks to its stern. Holding the sub
marine in a vertical position, hole
was bored through its plates and air
pumped through to the suffering crew,
who had almost given up all hope of
rescue
In the meantime the call for help
had been picked up by the navy wire
less station and by command of Sec
rotary Daniels destroyers were rushed
to the rescue from Philadelphia, New
port News and New York.
Before all these vessels had had time
to reach the spot word was flashed
that all the crew had been taken
aboard the steamer Alanthus. The
wireless did not tell how the rescue
had been effected or what vessels be-
sides the Atlanthus and General Goe-
thals, if any, had assisted. 1t merely
told that all were safe aboard the
Alanthus.
None had been injured, although all
mad suffered for lack of air. 1t was
l o'clock when the first man was TAX
en- off the submarine and more than
two hours later before Lieut.. Com
mander Cook left his vessel.
