(Continued From First Pape. )
moving slowly close to her starboard
side, Captain Hinsch, of the German
war-bound steamer Neckar, who had
charge of the clearing of the Deutsch
land, shouted through a megaphone:
"Who is that?"
Salutes Are Ignored.
Upon being advised that it was a
newspaper boat, he shouted this infor
mation to the Deutschland and then
both vessels put on speed, moving
ahead rapidly.
Sailors on the Deutschland paid no
attention to salutes from the news
paper boat. They gazed at her silently
for a while and then began putting on
their blue uniform coats.
The Deutschland was displaying red
and green lights set flush on two sides
of her conning tower. As she passed
the newspaper boat she put out these
lights.
The Timmins then moved over to the
port side of the channel, about 150 feet
from the Deutschland. and they con
tinued in these relative positions for
a considerable distance down the bay.
By this time the sun was setting over
the watr, in which the Deutschland
stood out clearly. Within a few min
utes after the sun had set, clouds be
gan to roll up from the horizon.
Craft Runs In Dark.
At a mile away it was difficult to
eee either the crew, in their dark cloth
ing, or the vessel, painted to match the
color of the water. The Timmins car
ried her regular running lights and for
the next ten miles the Deutschland
could be located only by her convoy.
On these ten miles, however, the ves
sels had a clear path and they might
have burned all their lights without
endangering themselves. Only one ves.
eel, a tramp steamer, passed them, and
the was far away. Her attempts to
signal the Timmins met with no re
sponse. As the Cape Henry lightshiD and the
Virginia and Maryland pilot boats came
into view of the Deutschland and her
convoy they began to exchange blinker
pignals rapidly, the submersible s white
light in the top of her periscope show
ing for the first time. When they were
within two miles of the Cape Henry
lighthouse the submarine had moved
over well toward the shore line and her
outlines seldom could be seen.
Shore HuKSed Closely.
Decreasing her speed, the Deutsch
land hugged the shore line as closejy
as was possible, while the Timmins
passed out of the capes a short dl
tance to determine whether the allied
warships were there to block the sub
marine's progress. In less than 15 min
utes, or shortly before 9 o'clock, she
signalled the Deutschland that she had
a clear path, and the under-sea
freighter quickly hastened down the
channel and to sea.
On her way the submarine signalled
briefly to the Timmins with her peri
scope light. The signalling completed,
the light disappeared, and with it the
Deutschland.
The submarine and the Timmins were
lost to the newspaper dispatch boat,
the only vessel following them, during
& storm in Lower Chesapeake Bay
shortly 'before daylight today. From
that time no vessels or lighthouses re
ported sighting them.
British Cruiser Hovers Near.
Only one allied warship was seen off
the capes today. It was a two-fun
nelled cruiser, flying the British naval
ensign. Passing vessels reported that
there were two peculiar buoys near
lier. This gave rise to some specula
tion as to the possibility that a net
had been flung- across the channel, but
Pilots familiar with the waters did not
believe such a method of preventing
the egress of the Deutschland would, be
The trip of the submarine and the
convoying tug down Chesapeake Bay
from Baltimore was started under ideal
conditions. Not a cloud was in sight as
the submersible increased her speed to
19 knots an hour soon after clearing
Jbsaiumore narDor. The tug fell behind
Immediately and by dark was 500 yards
to the stern.
Tug Works Hard to Keep Up.
The tug apparently had great diffi
culty in keeping up with the Deutsch
land. Dark flames spurted from her
funnels, showinz that the stokers were
keeping all the steam possible in her
boilers. Then the wind freshened and
dark clouds began to roll in from the
horiion. Soon the tug was pitching
ana rolling in the choppy sea, her run
ning lights dipping up and down and
the spray flying back from her bow.
The submarine ahead, & brilliant
light shining from a lamp attached to
the top of her periscope and green and
red running lights hanging below on
the conning tower, plowing steadily
tnrougn tne seas on an even keel.
Brilliant Lights Attract Xotice.
Bay steamers passing up and down
had their attention attracted to the
submarine by the brilliance of her
lights, especially that on the periscope,
They cast rays of their searchlights on
the submersible, looking her over from
wm to stern. As each of the vessel
recognized the submarine a salute of
three whistle blasts was blown. The
submarine answered each salute with
ner own whistle.
In the rays of the searchlights mem
bers of the crew could be plainly seen
wanting up and down the after deck.
In the conning tower was Captain Paul
Koenm. master of the vessel. At his
side stood the pilot.

boon before midnight the seas be
came still heavier. Under the glare
or searcniignts it was seen that wave:
were breaking over the bow of the
vessel and washing the entire forward
part. Occasionally the conning towe
and the light on the periscope would be
enveloped in a shower of salt sprav.
At 1:S0 this morning, while passing
Solomon's Island, the last of the vessels
with searchlights was passed. By tha
time all the members of the crew ex
cept two had disappeared from th
deck. One of them was standing well
forward, a lead-line for sounding in

was blown across the water by the
wind, and a stream of sparks spurted
from her stern with the grayish smoke
from the powerful engines. The Tim
mins fell behind more than once and
the submarine had to slow down a
trifle to wait for her.
Those aboard the submarine and the
tug apparently were worried by the
presence of a newspaper yacht, a
speedy craft, which kept up with the
vessels without difficulty. The tug
especially kept close watch on the
yacht, and was quick to take up a posi
tion between it and the submarine
whenever the opportunity presented it

capes. Instead of going to Baltimore,
toward which she headed after leaving
the Deutschland, the Timmins came in
here tonight.
"Well she's off and well on her way
back to the old country," said Captain
Hinsch.
'Just as she started out to sea," he
said, "Captain Koenig and the crew of
the Deutschland came on deck and
gave three rousing cheers for 'America
and the American people.' "
Vessel Dives Early.
'The sea was rough and the spray
was splashing high, but the hearty
cheers of the men of the Deutschland
rang clearly over the waves. Captain
Koenig yelled something to me in
farewell, but the submarine was pull
ing out rapidly and -the distance be
tween us was too great for mo to bear
what he said.
'For about a mile the Deutschland
plowed boldly through the billows of
the Atlantic When about a mile out
side the Capes we could see her lights
slowly disappear as she submerged."
The captain declared the submarine
again will go through the English
Channel.
'There is no chance that the British
cruisers will find the Deutschland," he
said.
Confidence was expressed by the cap
tain that the Bremen would soon make
an American port.
Captain Hinsch said that one United
States destroyer was the only warship
sighted by the Deutschland before she
submerged.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2. (Special.)
That an international romance which
attracted wide attention five years ago
has come to an unhappy ending Is re
vealed in the action for divorce brought
by Mrs. John L. de Saulles.
Mr. de Saulles, of Bethlehem, Pa., and
New York, was at one time a famous
Yale quarterback and was one of the
most prominent men of the gridiron
a decade or more ago. He was a warm
friend of President Wilson, and soon
after President Wilson's election Mr.
de Saulles refused an offer of a diplo
matic post, deciding to remain In the
real estate business in ivew York, .n
which vocation, he is still engaged.
Five years ago he met Blanca Er-
razuriz. daughter of a prominent and
wealthy Chilean. She was one of the
famous beauties of Valparaiso and was
an heiress to "great wealth. Several
prominent Chileans sought the hand of
the Valparaiso belle, but Mr. de Saulles
won and, following her to Paris, where
her parents were, married her there
five years ago.

effect, in my Judgment, in bringing
these contending factions together.
Finally, arbitration may be discussed.
and the break will come when the
roads absolutely refuse to arbitrate the
demands of the men and the men re
fuse with equal force to admit into
the arbitrations the contingent pro
posals of the roads.
No Ray of Light Seen.
'I must confess in this situation.
after talking most earnestly with both
parties to the controversy, that I see
no ray of light nor any possibility of
averting a serious catastrophe."
In a message to the heads of the
railroad brotherhoods,. Mr. Wheeler
said he hoped he was wrong in his
view of the gravity of the situation,
but that "the public Interest Is a defi
nite and tangible third Interest in the
controversy and the public has a right
to know whether any increase in cost
of operation arising from an adjust
ment of the differences between the
brotherhoods and the railroatis is to
be passed on for final payment by an
increase in rates for transportation."
In anticipation of a general con
ference here on the question, the
chamber has sent to all commercial
bodies in the country copies of the
letter to the President, with a request
that each send a representative to
such a meeting.
CHAMBER ASKS ARBITRATION
Reconsideration Is TJrged on Em
ployes of Railways.
In the adoption of a resolution last
night bearing on the threatened strike
of railroad employes throughout the
united States, directors of the Cham
ber of Commerce urged that the organi
zations reconsider their stand in refuS'
ing to submit their proposals of wages
and working conditions to arbitration.
The directors did not indicate a
leaning toward either side in the con
troversy, the main concern expressed
being that a walkout of railroad work
ers at this time would be productive of
grave losses to persons not directly con'
cerned in the situation, resulting in
distress among countless residents of
the country through the handicaps that
must follow a tie up of transportation
facilities.
The resolution is as follows:
. Whereas, Employes in train, engine and
yard service on the railroads of the United
States have made demands on the man
agements for changres In their working
cbedulea. which demands hav been de
clined, but witli an offer by the manage
ments to arbitrate, the employes have re
fused to arbitrate and are now voting to
determine whether or not to authorize the
calling of a general strike. The railroads
are public servants and their operation is
essential to the public welfare. A general
strike, with all the harshlpa, waste, suffer
ing; and loss that would follow from de
moralization of the service, is at once se
rious to contemplate and Is intolerable.
The principles of arbitration are recognized
and approved by ail civilized nations and
peoples and arbitration is regarded the
moat effective method for securing fair,
peaceful and equitable, adjustments to all
concerned. ith no attempt to express
judgment on the merits of the controversy
and for the single purpose or sate guarding
the general public, the employes and the
railroads from the widespread, and intense
distress inevitably attending a general sus
pension of transportation service, we do
hereby
Resolve, That it Is our earnest request
and sollci'.-jUe that the refusal of the em
ployes to ajc- le to th offer of the man
agements .o aro,t!e be reconiddered and
that. In reread for the public welfare.
they submit to arbitration. Such a cenrse
will preserve to the general public unin
terrupted transpo'ta'-iou service; to the em
ployes and menager.'ents tranquil and mu
tual! v benexicitl relations, and will accom
plish the desired remits without the many
hardships an! eavrif'ce a general strike
would, entail.

Koberts says he went to hw mother's
house without her knowledge and put

until they had passed Portland and
reached The Dalles. Roberts denies ac
quaintance with Bateman, but says the
latter and his wife had talked with
Gillies through the jail window prior
to the escape.
. According to Roberta, the saws with
which jail bolts were cut had been
secreted in the Jail by a prisoner named
Miller, who was dismissed and released
prior to the Gillies escape. The where
abouts of Miller are now unknown, but
the officers do not put a great deal of
credence in the story.

of Bateman as to the drive from Olvm-

some time in Olympia getting ready.

He maintains that Gillies tried to
abandon him from tha first, and finally
left him on the train when Roberts

Dan JC O'Connell was released from
jail last night after a Coroner's Jury
exonerated him from blame in the
death of Adheld E. Otto. Mr. Otto
was burned to death last Monday night
by falling in a tank of boiling water
after Air. O'Connell had slapped him
during a quarrel in the Union Meat
Company's glue plant in North Portland.
The jury pronounced his death accl- j
dental, due to the lack of safety appli
ances in the plant.
Mr. O Connell, who is 22 years old.
took the stand In his own defense, and
wept as he described Mr. Otto's fall
to death. The boy and his sister fell In
each other's arms and sobbed again
after the jury returned Its verdict.
u Connell testified that the Quarrel
was due to the loss of some by-prod
ucts of the glua manufacture through
an open valve in one of the tanks. The
boy said Mr.' Otto blamed him for leav
ing the valve open. After a dispute
the boy struck Mr. Otto,, and he turned
away, he said, and did not see
Mr. Otto until the latter was plunging
head foremost from a stairway to the
tank below, which was surrounded by
a railing IS inches high.
Mr. O Connell said he did not know
that the water in the tank was hot,
and burned his own hand trying to
pull Mr. Otto out.
