ATTRACTED ATTENTION
BY LIGHTING MATCHES
.libmarine Crew Had Perched for
Hours on Upturned End of
Submarine.

: New York, Dec. (By the Associated
Press ).-Fifty-on members of the
crew of the submarine S-4S, who es-
capped through torpedo tubes after the
craft had made nose dive off Bridge
port harbor yesterday and stuck TO
the bottom, told remarkable story of
rescue on their arrival to-day at the
New York navy yard.
According to a report made to the
commandant, they lightened one end Of
the submarine untl it appeared above
the surface and then sat perched on
this pinnacle more than ten hours,
until after darkness had fallen. Then
by lighting matches, they attracted the
attention of a passing tanker which
picked them up and brought them here.
!. Several of the men, as well as Lieu
Tenant Francis Adams Smith, were
found to be suffering from the effects
OF chlorine gas created by salt wa
ter, flooding storage batteries. After
examination, however, only these were
detained at the hospital
The submarine left Bridgeport at
1923 a. m, on one of her daily trial
trips. About one mile of the entrance
TO the harbor, after making a nose
dive, she failed to come up and her
commander reported that the presump-
ton was one of her hatch covers had
not been properly fastened, allowing
water to seep in
When night came on some of the 81
officers, sailors and mechanics went
down into the sunken craft and hauled
ont mattresses to burn in order to get
brighter signalling flare that the
tiny matches could give.
One by one the mattresses were
,burned at the tip Of the outstanding
how. the 81 sitfingaround their fam
ing signal There was a stiff wind and
the waters OF the sound were becom-
ing more rough. just a. the last mat
tress was burning. about 1880 O'Clock.
the Standard oil Tug No. y. sighted
the submarine and came alongside.
A small boat was lowered from the
tug to gather in the men huddled to-
eether on the tip Of the submarine.
Lieutenant Smith. in the hospital hcre,
praised Captain Olsen Of the reseuine
tug for ~spendid seamanship" in get
ting the stranded mer OF the undersca
craft and aboard his own vessel with

MISS BUTLER'S STORY
CALLED INCREDIBLE
Attorney for Three Men Pointed Out
Alleged Discrepancies in Stor-
les She Told.

New Bedford, Mass, Dec s.-That
Gertrude Butler, the alleged victim Of
the assault for which Benjamin Comes,
John Dies and Joseph Andrews are on
trial, was either lying in her testi-
mony, or in no condition to remember
what had happened, was the declara-
ton Of William H. Lewis, counsel for
Dies, in his argument to the jury this
morning.
Mr.. Lewis spoke of the difficulty
which any man is under in defending
himself against charge of assault, and
said that while the chastity Of women
must be protected, the jury must te
careful not do an injustice to the de-
PENDANTS. He said Miss Buffers entire
story was incredible, pointed out dis
crepancies between her evidence at
Barnstable and that given in the pres
ent trial, and stressed her physical
condition as shown in her frequent
fainting spells. As to Eldredge, her es-
cort, the night of the assault, he asked
scornfully, "Where in the animal king
dom is there male who will not night
TO the death for his mater
Massachusetts,, God bless her." Mr..
Lewis declared, f'who 'gave me such an
opportunity as ] never dreamed OF in
old Virginia days; Massachusetts, is
not seeking vengeance on these three
boys"
Mr. Lewis argued that either Ell
dredge was coward without an equal
or the case was frame-up for the
three defendants. Even il assault were
committed. there was no convincing
proof that Dies, Comes and Andrews
had anything to do with it. He at
tackled the method employed by the
police when Miss Butler made her iden-
tifieation Of the three men.
District Attorney Kenney opened his
argument when Mr.. Lewis had con-
cluded. saying that when the jurors
had carefully considered the evidence
they could not doubt that Miss But
Ter had been assaulted and that the
three defendants were the guilty men.
The argument OF the defense, he said,
was based on the assumption that the
three men were not armed, but the
evidence showed that they were, and
sit Is no joke to be confronted with
three desperadocs masked at mid
night.
He stressed the point that almost
up to the moment Of the assault there
was no intimation that any crime but
robbery was contemplated and suggest
ed that men more acute than Eldredgc
might have decided that to try TO es-
cape would be dangerous and that il
would be wiser TO wait for something
to turn up

President Harding's Message

1t is provided in the constitution Of the United
States that the president shall from time to time, give
to the information of the state of the unlon
and recommend to their consideration such as
he shall Judge necessary and expedent Out of this
provision there grew the custom of annual message
presented to congress at the beginning of its session,
made up in large part of summary of the reports
of the cabinet officers the head of the various de-
parments, and also containing administrative pro-
gram of desirable legislation.
The tremendous expansion of governmental affairs
and increasing compexy of the matters with which
government has deal resulted in such enlargement
of the message that it finally became too long to be
printed in any but few daily newspapers, and too
long to be read by any but very few citizens
President Wilson not only broke the precedent of
written message carried to congress by his secretary but
he also abandoned the idea of repeating the depart
mental reports and confined himself to statement of
facts and expression of opinion upon few of the
important matters to be presented to congress.
That President Harding will follow the custom
rather than the old is evident Instead of sending out
rrintct message several days in advance, to be held
in confidence while the printers getting ready for
publication President Harding will CO. like President
Wilson, to congress in person, and it said he is
writing his message with pencil it is evident that it
will not be of great length.
