STORY OF DEPARTURE TOLD
Underwater Craft Submerged
on Way Down Bay.
TEST HELD SATISFACTORY
Captain or Xeckar Says Deutsch
iand Passed Unobserved Within
J 00 Vards of American De-
etrojer Mile at Sea.
" NORFOLK, Va.. Aug. S. The allied
cruisers patrolling the entrance to
Hampton Roads to prevent the depart
ure of the German submarine mer
chantman Deutschiand were still in
position -within sight of shore diving
today and there was nothing to indi
cate that they were aware of the pas
eagre of the Deutschiand out through
the capes last night. Marine men here
believed the submersible had entirely
eluded the war vessels and was safely
on her way across the Atlantic on her
return voyage to Germany.
Captain Hinsch, of the war-bound
German liner Neckar, who, on board
the tug Thomas F. Timmins, directed
the departure ot the Deutschiand. said
today that the underwater freighter
passed unobserved within 100 yards of
a United .States destroyer on neutral
ity duty about a mile off the capes.
He also disclosed that the submarine
submerged twice on her way down the
bay to test h'er engines.
Vessel Descends 135 Fret.
"When we came to a scop at a point
In the bay which I shall not disclose,
because we shall probably have to. use
the placa'agaln," said Captain Hinsch.
"the pilot aboard the submarine was
taken off to the Timmins. It was
then about 5 o'clock in the morning.
The submarine was submerged so that
her machinery and pumps could be
tested and the cargo trimmed, should
that be necessary. She went down in
a deep hole in the bay to a depth of
135 feet, remaining there for some
time.
"When she came to the surface again
Captain Koenig came up through the
conning tower and said that everything
was working perfectly. We started off
down the bay. and when no traffic was
in sight the Deutschiand took another
dive while running.
Craft Invhlblc at 400 lards.
"'She went down until only four
Inches of her periscope was showing
above the water. Then I dropped be
hind to see at what distance the wake
of the Deutschiand or the foam crest
of the periscope could be seen. At 400
yards with glasses I could not see a
thing.
"The tests having proved that the
Deutschiand was in perfect condition,
we went into a place to hide for a
while. We were well hidden, too. Any
one would have had great difficulty
in finding us.
"In the afternoon we started for the
capes, and you know how the better
part of the trip was made. The de
stroyers were passed in the dark. As
coon as the men on the bridges sighted
the lights of the Timmins they watched
us closely and looked all around for
the submarine, which passed them at a
distance of only 100 yards. At the time
the submarlno was submerged until
her decks were awash.
Destroyer's Officers Surprised.
"Later when I reported to the de
troyer that the Deutschiand had
cleared the capes and was on her way
to sea. the officers aboard seemed most
surprised. They had not observed her
at all. So you see that the British and
French cruisers offshore hadn't the
slightest chance of finding the Deutsch
iand." 1
Captain Hinsch added that after the
officers and members of the crew had
given three cheers for America, he
heard Captain Koenig give the order
"diving stations." At that time the
vessels were about a mile off th'e
capes. The submarine increased her
speed and the men aboard the Tim
mins. which had stopped, watched her
as she sped for the open sea. A mile
away all her lights suddenly dis
appeared. Captain Hinsch said he
knew the vessel submerged at that
time, when a mile inside the three-
mile limit
Course Is ot Disclosed.
He added it would be unwise for him
to disclose whether the vessel wen
tip or down the coast before striking
out to sea, or whether she steered an
easterly course straight out.
Captain Hinsch returned to Balti
more tonight, leaving the Timmins in
Norfolk with instructions to pick up
a tow for Baltimore if one could be
secured within a day or two. If no tow
Is available, the tug, he said, will go
back to Baltimore anyhow.
In response to questions regarding
the prospects of the Bremen, siste
ship to the Deutschiand. arriving in
American waters. Captain Hinsch said
"You can depend upon it that if the
Bremen were -coming in the near fu
ture. I would not be returning to Bal
timore and neither would the Tim
mins-"
He declined to say when the Bremen
was expected.
Construction .to Begin Immediately
and Three Ocean-Golng Ves
sels Contracted Already.
The shipbuilding plant, backed by
Louis Swift, of Chicago, vice-president
of Swift & Co. and purchasing agent
for the Union Meat Company, tenta7
tively located at Flavel, has been
brought to Portland through efforts
of Herbert Brown.
Definite news to the effect that the
new concern will be located on the
Peninsula, near the Standifer-Clarkson
lumber mill, was brought to Portland
last -night with the return of Mr.
Brown from Seattle, where he com
pleted arrangements for the building
off the plant here.
Construction on the new plant will
begin immediately, it is understood,
and already orders for three large
ocean-going vessels have been "re
ceived. The Swift company has placed
orders for two of the vessels and it
is understood that a large fruit pack
ing concern of Chicago has placed an
order for a third"
Papers closing the deal that will give
to Portland another large manufactur
ing concern employing hundreds of
skilled mechanics will be signed today.
Besides the interest the Swift people
will have in the new company, Seattle
capitalists have contributed largely.
Mr. Brown will leave in the near
future for New Ygrk to engage marine
architects to prepare plans for the ves
sels ordered.

now recorded In the annals of Great
Britain as a traitor.
"Whatever may be Casement's proper

Possession) of Body Refused.
The refusal of the prison authorities
to turn over the body of the Irish
rebsl to his relatives was bitterly de
nouneed -today as an outrage by So
licitor- Garyan Duffy, who was Case
merit's counsel.
"Representing the relatives at the in
queBt," he said, "I applied to the Home
Office- for the possession of the body
Their refusal to turn It over to me
was a monstrous act of indecency."
It. was said in support of the prison
authorities' attitude that it was the
custom for the bodies of all prisoners
I anged for crimes similar' to that of
Casement to be buried in quicklime in
t"ie prison yard.
The governor of the prison and the
chief warden testified that death had
been instantaneous, and the coroner's
Jury found the death sentence had been
carried out in a humane manner and in
accordance with law.

Last Wordsi "I Die for My Country."
"I die for my country," were the last
words uttered by Casement, excepting
the brief prayer that fell from his
lips a moment before the hangman's
noose silenced them forever.

prisoners who had refused to Join Case

Incentives for the experiment: A

Such in brief are facts connected
with the "opening" of the new house.
MUBt completed, of Mr. and Mrs. John
D. Coleman. . northeast corner of East
Sixteenth and Tillamook streets, last
night.
I Surprise Is Complete.
When Mrs. Coleman arrived at S:30
P. M. from a protracted vacation
passed In near-by Oregon mountains.
ina was escorted by her husband to a,
new house that she had never seen.
houte which she had no share in
Planning; furniture and fittings that
she had not had a chance to choose-
well, rho wa surprised. As she and
hair husband advanced Into their new-
home. Mr. Becker played on the pipe
organ. Mendelssohn's "Wedding March.'
and at Its conclusion. Mr. Coleman
said to hi wife:
'Sweeheart. this is all for you. on
the occasion cf your birthday annl
vorsaiy." I am almost overcome." replied Mrs.
I Col ?uian looking around at her J3S.001

I changed her traveling dress for an

About 100 Invited ruests were nres-

welcome home. Mr. Coleman, who Is
prominent Insurance man and who
had planned It all. was. beaming.
Luclen E. Becker, organist of Trin
ity Episcopal Church. Iraugurated the
new pipe 'organ, and played a finely
selected programme from the works of
the great masters.
Organ's Qualities Trsnonst rated.
Mr. Becker showed to perfection the
many resources of the pipe organ, es
pecially in the two extremes of deli
cate, whispering nuances, and forte or,
thunderous effects.
The pipe organ is planned skillfully.
and it Is no 'only aa artistic adorn
ment to a beautiful home, but its
deepest and strongest pedal effects ars
always agreeable and suited to the
acoustics of the place. The organ, with,
self-playing automatic attachment. Is
one oI th most -tistlo in any private
uoroe in tne -facino rtortnwest. Part
of its i charm consists of a sweetly
yoiced "mystery organ." the message
from which comes to the listener from.
some location in the organ chamber,
difficult to determine. Only a few are
In the secret connected with the loca
tion of this "mystery organ."
Ilarn Effect Admired.
The harp effects of the "mystery
organ have indescribable beauty, and
suggest a hidden choir of singing
cheiuhe from4 a far-off land. It Is
stated to be the first music feature of
Its kind on the Pacific Coast.
Songs were sung with charming ef
fect by Mrs. Pauline Miller Chapman.
For the first time in this city. a
sonata for violin and piano, composed
by John Alder Carpenter, was played
by Frank and Beatrice Eichenlaub,
The sonata is modern and florid in.
I style and was splendidly played. Frank
Thomas Chapman was piano accompan
ist for Mrs. Chapman, who also sang
one song to an organ accompaniment
by Mr. Becker. Francis RlchUer took
his. place at the pipe organ, and gave .
a brilliant improvisation on a selected
theme.
How did the house and pipe organ
"happen?" This way.
Franck G. Eichenlaub. one of tee
first violinists of the Portland Sym
phony Orchestra, several years ago in
terested Mr. and Mrs. Coleman in at
tending the symphony concerts. ' Mr.
Colemaa protested that he was not an
educated musician, that he couldn't

I could not sing. But he and Mra, Cole-
man attended the concerts and enjoyed
the high-class music treats. It was
not long before they grew enthustaatlo
about symphonies, and could detect- the
voices of the different musical instru
ments In the orchestra. Mr. Coleman
subscribed liberally to all symphony
concerts. In fact, he is a symphony
"fan" and patron.
