THE MUXNISG UKEUOtflA, SATUKTJAY, AUGUST 26, 1905. PRESIDENT GOES 8 Spends Three Hours on Board Submarine Torpedo Boat Plunger: LONG TIME UNDER WATER With Great Secrecy He Arranges Trip and Makes Little Boat Show Her Tricks Descends to Ocean's Bed. OYSTER BAY, Aug. 25. President Roosevelt late this afternoon made a de scent In Long Island Sound on board the submarine torpedoboat Plunger. He was on board the vessel about three hours. At one fcime the little boat was sub merged for 50 minutes, and In that time was put through all of the submarlno feats of which she Is capable. The President expressed tonight his de light at the novel experience and said ho was Immensely Impressed with the boat and with the manner In which she was handled. In thus braving the dangers o submarine maneuvering, the President has endeared himself to naval officers and men the world over, and made Lieutenant Charles H. Nelson, commander of the Plunger, the proudest and happiest man in the United States Navy. The President's Intention not only to make a personal Inspection of the tiny vessel, likely to prove so deadly in naval warfare, but to make a submarine de scent In It, was reached after a confer ence with Lieutenant Nelson. The Plun ger's commander explained to the Presi dent the operations of the boat, and as sured him that a trip on her and a de scent Into the depths of Long Island Sound would be as devoid of danger as "would be a trip on a New York subway express train. The President long has desired to watch the operations of a submarine torpedo boat, and before this would have made a trip in one had he not been deterred from taking the risk by the advice of his friends and official associates. Convinced, by the logic of Lieutenant Nelson, he ar ranged to take a trip In the Plunger and to have the little vessel perform all ner wonaertui teats wnue ne was on board. Three Hours on Board. The special trial of the boat with the President on board took place between 3 and 6 o'clock this evening In Long Island Sound, Just off the entrance to Oyster Bay. Shortly after 3 o'clock the Presi dent went aboard in one of the launches of the naval yacht Sylph. As soon as he had descended into the boat, the man holes were closed and, convoyed by the naval tender Apache, the Plunger .started lor the Sound. No maneuvers were attempted until the vessel was well beyond the entrance to the bay. A stiff northeast breeze, which had been bjowlng since last night, kicked up a heavy . sea In the Sound, but the Plunger behaved beautifully. The water "where the trial took place Is about 40 feet deep, too shallow In the opinion of .uieutenant Nelson and his experts .to en able the vessel to do her best work. Soon after the vessel reached the neces sary depth, she was directed downward until she rested on the bottom of the Sound. . Then the mechanism of the craft was explained minutely -to the President by Lieutenant Nelson, so that afterward ne experienced no difficulty In under standing the maneuvers which were per- lormca. While the President thus was resting on the bottom of the Sound In a subma rine boat, a storm 40 feet above him was raging unnoticed. Plunger Put Through Paces. Explanations of the working of the ves scl having been completed. Lieutenant Nelson began to put her through her paces. 'rom the bottom porooise-divln was tried, that Is, the boat would ascend to the surface of the Sonnd far several seconds, long enough to enable her com mander to sight any warship that might do m view, and thon dive again Imme dlately. After this maneuver had been repeated a few times, the Plunger was sent down a distance of 20 feet below the surface and her engines stopped. Then the engines were roversed and the boat ascended to the surface backward. Lieu tenant Nelson made his boat perform the remarkable feat of diving to a depth of 20 feet, and while going at full speed at that depth, reversed her course. The complete turn occupied only one minute. Subsequently the engines were stopped and the vessel was submerged to a depth of 20 feet. There she was kept motion less, a demonstration of her ability to remain in that position for hours while awaiting an opportunity to launch one of her torpedoes at a vessel of a blockading squadron which might be passing or re passing a given point. After many maneuvers had been per formed, Lieutenant Nelson ordered all lights on board to be extinguished to dem onstrate how thoroughly the members of the crew knew their business. They worked perfectly in the darkness, evi dently with as much skill and ease as if they performed their duties in the glare of the electric light. During the operations of the Plunger, the tender Apache remained within short distance, prepared to render any assistance that might be necessary. She was not needed, however. The President shook hands with all the crew, as he left the vessel to return to Sagamore Hill. Delighted With Experience. In describing his experience tonight .President Roosevelt expressed great sat isfactlon with the manner in which the tiny vessel was managed. He remarked particularly on the possibility of the sub marine torpedo-boat in actual warfare. Ke related the details of his experience with evident pleasure. Nobody, not even the members of his family, was aware of the President's desire to make the trip on the Plunger, except of course Lleuten ant Nelson. One result of the secrecy maintained was that the Plunger had almost the entire Long Island Sound to herself. There was scarcely a vessel in sight, all pleasure craft having been driven to shelter by the heavy storm. Tomorrow at 9:30 o'clock In the morning the Plunger will go out to the Sound for another test trip. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt, with a party of friends. will attend the maneuvers from the deck of the Sylph.

OYSTER BAY. Aug. 25. President Roosevelt has accopted the office of hon orary vice-president of the Schools Athletic League, the headquarters or which is In New York City. In his letter to Gen. George Wlngate, president of the league, he expresses his cordial approval of the objects of the league, which are the promotion of athletics along healthy lines among school children. President Roosevelt's letter says: I most heartily believe in your league and I feel that in promoting athletics among the rschool children of New York City along t sane and healthy lines It ha followed it Is performing a- isorvlce which Is of the utmost Importance, not merely from the standpoint of the physical, but also from the standpoint of the ethical needs of these school children I am glad that you have Installed In each of your high schools a sub-target rifle prac tice and are teaching the boys to shoot with the Krag, and I am pleased with the great success you have met In this effort. The great congestion In population, which means crowded stseots as well as the crowded honses. has resulted In depriving the chil dren or New York of opportunity of exercise, especially In tenement-house districts, so that their physical development tends to drop below the normal.

NOT RESPONSIBLE AS BODY Blame for Grafting, Excessive Sal aries, Fees and Pensions Placed on Individuals Surplus Disposal Left to Court. NEW YORK, Aug. 26. The Equitable Life Assurance Society today joined with the State of New York In asking for a full investigation in court of Its directors and officers and their alleged wrongdoings In managing the moneys of tho society. The document which announced this de termination was the answer of the 45 Equitable directors to the charges against them by the state. Admission is made that the Equitable had been guilty of Improper acts. Among these answers the directors admit the J25O.O00 Tban to the Depew Improvement Company. They admit the Smith JS6.000 loan to the Mercantile Trust Company, but waive responsibility in this loan so far as the board of directors Is concerned and Indicate Messrs. Alexander, Jordan and Demlng as the persons having the most intimate knowledge of those trans actions. The charge that excessive salaries were paid to officers of the society is not di rectly answered, but admission Is maflo that under guise of salaries excessive fees were given to certain officials who wore also directors In other companies. In defense, the answer states that these practices were net known to the whole board of directors. Blame Individuals Only. Outlining their belief as to the best pol icy to pursue In fixing the blame for the scandals, the directors say first that tho blame for alleged cases of misconduct will be found to rest on Individual officers and not upon the directors as a body. ' Hav ing made this explanation, the answer thon admits in a general way the wrong doing charged. The first charge specifically answered Is that premises on Broadway were let at Inadequate rentals to the Mercantile Safe Deposit Company. This is admitted, but It Is denied that at the time this lease was made. James H. Hyde. J. W. Alex ander. Gage E. Tarbell, V. P. Snyder, Thomas D. Jordan. Charles B. Alexan der. H. L. Wlntrop, A. W. Krolch and William H. Mclntyre were stockholders and directors in the Mercantile Trust. Confess Several Misdeeds. With certain reservations, admission is then made that the capital stock of the I Missouri Safe Deposit Company was ac quired by the Equitable, which paid 1250 per share for shares of a par value of JH. The reservations la favor .of the Equitable in connection with this charge include a claim that these allegations are true In respect to certain of 'the Equitable offi cials, but that the alleged purchases were never known to the whole board of direc tors. The directors admit that tho officers, who permitted wasteful, improvident and improper advances of money to agents, may have been guilty of grave errors of Judgment, but assert that they have no information sufficient to form a belief that these officers wore knowingly guilty of such Improper acts. The consolIdaUon of the Western Na tional Bank of New York City with the United States NaUonal Bank, by which losses resulted to the Equitable and a profit to some of its directors, Is also ad mitted. But the directors say that the responsibility for these losses must be divided among those who "dlroctly par ticipated in. or had, or by reason of their official duties and position should have had knowledge of the transactions." Xo Admission Salaries Arc High. The table of alleged Improper salaries to Equitable officers, which was embodied in the state's charges, is declared to be a true statement of the figure?. A direct admission Is then made that these sums wore paid without sufficient vouchers, but the directors say their opinion Is reserved as to whether such sums were large and in all cases unwarranted. Admissions af greater latitude are made on the subject of pensions and to the charges that money under the guise of fees was received by directors and stock holders, who were also officers' of the Equitable and other corporations. After the admission that these moneys were received as charged, the reply states: "Any of these defendants were Ignorant of said transactions, which were not of a character necessarily known to the whole board of directors." Further on the reply states: "Some of the said pensions were found to be Justifiable and some others im proper." Admit Mercantile Trust Loan. Taking up the Joan to the Mercantile Trust Company, an admission of its ex istence is made, but the directors deny that they improperly permitted this trans action. Finally, admission of tho pay ment of the CS5,000 to the Mercantile Trust Company on July 14 last is made, but it is said that this occurred only after the trust company had asserted a claim against the Equitable and after this claim had been resisted anL disal lowed by the present managing officers of the society. The $250,000 loan to the Depew Improve ment Company Is next admitted, with a proviso which states that this admission is restricted to "those of the individual defendants who were or ought to have been cognizant of these transactions." Will Sue for Depew Loan. The directors then announce that the examination of the facts In connecUon with the Depew Improveacnt Company Is now proceeding with a view to recov ering by legal action or by adjustment of the court any sums' that may be found due to the Equitable, whether the per sons now possessing this money are of ficers of the Equitable or the Depew Im provement Company. The charges of the existence of exces- G N sire deposits In the National Bank of Commerce of New York and at least 19 other banks arc admitted, but this ad mission is restricted to those directors and officers who actually had charge of or knowledge of those transactions. Precisely the same restricted admission is made concerning the officers of the American Deposit & Loan Company, a corporation which Is admitted to have been organized for lending money to policy-holders' upon policies held in the Equitable and used to the profit of di rectors and others In the Equitable. Leave Court to Allot Surplus. The $10,000,000 surplus held by the Equit able Society Is the final Item considered by the directors and in substance their reply on. this charge is that they do not know precisely what their rights are re garding, the surplus and that they are willing to leave this matter for the courts to decide. In conclusion the answer says: "Wherefore, this defendant joins In the prayer of the plaintiff of this action and thereon submits Its rights and Interests inxthe matters in question to the Judg ment of the court." Wallace McFarlane appears as attorney for the Equitable with Austin G. Fox as assistant counsel. y FLYING COLUMN MAY OCCUPY MOROCCAN TOWN.
