signed to suppress the practice of
soliciting political contributions
from office holders and other fed

time in many years that a national

Philadelphia, Sept., 5. Thirty-six
men trooped down the gang plank of
the destroyer Biddie last night, at
Pltfladclphia navy yard. The first of
the group was raising his voice in
a nautical tenor's version of "how
dry 1 am," and accompanying his
song by a broad smile. Behiud him
came the rest, some singing, some
calling out cheery "hellos," but alt
smiling.
This was the homecoming of the
survivors of the submarine' S-5.
Their boat is at the bottom of the
sea, but it is expected it( will be sal
vaged. " i ' "
Snatched From Jaws of Death.
A few hours before kindly fate,
aiding the never failing "luck of'the
navy," had snatched them from the
jaws of death and released them
from nearly two days' entombment
in a submarine, one end of which
rested on the ocean floor and. the
other stuck up in the vatqr at air
angle of 60 degrees. Penned up(.foT
hours in two' narrow compartmciits
they had waited hour after hour for
release. . . . .
Every minute of the time had been
accompanied by a joke or aH laugh
or a smile from someone, even dur

utes when deadly cboloriiie gas was
creeping over them and they. were
forced to put on gas masks to keep

their, trying experience they found
out Ithat Lieut. Com. Charles M.
Cooke, jr., is the greatest and brav
est man in the nary. And for fear
there might be any mistake in the
matter, before they left the. Biddie,
a round robin had, been signed and
forwarded to Secretary. Daniels by

they be sent back'. to the S-5 as

Chester, Pa., Sept. S. A hotel
man, a policeman,' a justice of the
peace and a 'score or more of Ches
ter and Eddystone swains are trying
to explain how they happened to be
taken in by a pretty "dancing girl"
here with a carnival ' company.
Togged out in fetching . gowns
night after night the. dancer could be
seen with the boys who bought can
dy and sodas for the fair charmer
until some of them "went broke" in
their efforts to outdo their rivals. -
The climax came yesterday, how
ever, when the proprietor of the ho
tel at which the dancer was stop
ping, summoned Officer B)jrns. ,of
the Chester policd force, and Con
stable Ward, of Eddystone, stating
that he wanted "that woman" taken
out of his place.. "My jiotel is a place
for respectable-men and women and
net for people liW her," declared
the hotel man. ' . '
"When Burns and the constable in
vaded the room of .the unwelcome
guest they found the dancer sitting
on a tabli eagerly devouring a late
lunch ' witu two. Eddystone young
men trying to outclo ieach other in
their-attentions to the diner.
"Come, with .us," demanded the
cop and constable in chorus. , '
"Where to?" questioned the danc
er. "I have dmt nothing -wrong
and should not be arrested."
Nevertheless, the dancer : was
marched off to the office of Justice
of the Peace Maitland in Eddystone
borough, and given, an early morn
ing hearing. The "judge" imposed a
fine and ordered the defendant to
pay up. and leave. r -
"But why?" inquired the prisoner,
"what have I done?"
"You are a bold, bad woman, and
you have brought disgrace upon this
man's respectable hotel," was the
reply, indicating the hotel man, who
had "filed the complaint against his
guest.
"Who said I was a bad. woman, a
good woman, or any other sort of a
woman. :s what I want to know,''
snkl the prisoner, yanking off "his"
wig. The show was all over.
Maitland discharged his prisoner."
