Little Town Awaits First-Hand
Stories of Thrilling Experi
ences of Survivors
The U. S. submarine S-5, crippled
and wedged nose-down on the ocean
floor Wednesday, fifty-five miles off
Cape Henlopen, Delaware, was lost
and again recovered early this morn
ing by the battleship Ohio, a few
hours after the big fighter had drag
ged tho smaller craft from the sand
and sea grass on the bottom.
The submersible, in which the thir-ty-soven
officers and enlisted men had
been sealed up for forty-ono hours,
near to death from suffocation by
chlorine fumes, parted her cables in
tho darkness when the Ohio was
straining to tow her Into tho Dela
ware Capes. The .crew of the S-5
is still aboard the Ohio, sufficiently
recovered to assist in the salvaging
operations.
, Tho Ohio recovered the submarine;
both times by means . of. grappling
hooks. Again in tow, after this sec
ond mishap, with heavy hawser
chains from her sternpost shackling
her to the stern of the battleship,
the S-5 is being dragged slowly
Bhorcward, her noso bumping the
bottom of the shelving floor of the
ocean.
Slow Progress Is Made
So slow has been tho progress of
the rescue ship that by noon today
Ifttlo more than three miles had been
made. With tanks partly flooded
and water in the forward compart
ments, the submarine is almost a
dead weight, which the battleship is
dragging with difficulty.
It has not yet been decided to
what port tho S-5 will be taken. The
hope is that it will bo possible to get
the S-5 on even keel again. It would
bo comparatively easy, if this could
bo done, to tow the submarine to
port, and she would bo brought in
this .event to the Philadelphia navjr
yard and probably put into drydock
immediately.
If tho S-5 continues to scrape ulong
tho bottom no attempt will be made to
bring her up the Deloware. The men
In charge of the salvaging will be con
tent to get the craft within the protec
tion of the Delaware Capes, and tow
her into shallow water at Lewes, Del.,
Hie nearest haven. Here the croft will
be disposed safely, and divers sent down.
With everything- made fast, suction
hose will be Inserted and the wnter in
her ballast tables nnd forward com
pnrtraonts pumped out, when sho will
Hrc to the surface and can be brought
to League Island for'completo repairs.
The town of Lewes was wuitlng anx
iously today for word thut the Ohio and
her tow had been sighted. The little
Delaware town is the place of residence
of muny river nnd bay pilots, ami these
men shook their hendij over the chnnccs
of getting tho S-5 in quickly. There
was a strong haze over the sea, and the
PiloU sold the weather signs familiar
o them Indicated thut there might be
"weather" coming.
At this time of ycor,tli5, pilots said.
udlen and dangerous gales are fre
quent, nud in such n gale tho heavy
lines from tho Ohio probably would be
Parted nlmost in the first blow.

gamblers "cleaned up" In a betting
coup as a result.

cither to prove jnr disprove the
charges, but would 'make every effort
to sift tint mutter to the bottom.
"My impression hus Been that there
was less gambling this jenr than ever
before," he snld. "I thought that
might be attributed to the fact that
wo went after some fellows pretty
hard last year."
Lee Mugee, of the Cubs, und Hal
Chase, of tho Giants, were let out for
"Indifferent ball playing" last year,
unu it was later brought' out in a hear
ing" grnntcd Magee that the real cause
was the fact that ho wns suspected of
having bet against his own team in a
game at Jioston.
. Veeck recently hired prlvato detec
tives to watch galnblers at the Cubs'
park here and more thtiii fifty arrests
resulted.
The busis of the charges made in con
nection with Tuesday's gamo is that

cago gamblers ore suld to have nluccd

Sudden Attack Completely
Surprised Its Victims
Fifty federal prohibition agents from
Philadelphia and Trenton began at noon
today sjstcmatic raids of eighteen cafes,
hotels and boarding houses in Atlantic
City.
Six resorts in the center of the city
were raided within a few minutes, and
ns the agents seized the liquor, three
five-ton motortrucks followed in their
wake, loaded the contraband Und enrted
It to the Eldridgo garage In Chelsea.
Several of the eighteen establish
ments for which search warrants were
Issued by United Stntes Commissioner
Lewis nre well-known boardwalk re

taculnr ever stoged in Atluntie City,
and thnusnnds of persons crowding the
resort for the Lnbor Dny week-end
thronged around the raiding parries and
linmpcrcd the agents in tnetr work.
Kald a Complete Sdrpri.se
The mid came as n complete surprise
to the resort owners, it was planned
'and staged without the aid of the At
lantic City police or federal ngents of
the territory embracing the resort.
Six federal agents fjrom this city had
been secretly Investigating the raided
resorts for" the lost two weeks, nnd had
reported that the last raid in Atlantic
City six weeks ngo had had no effect
on the illicit traffic in liquor.
The agents reported that many near
poisonous mixtures were being sold
openly in every section of the resort,
and that In some tif'tho establishments
In tho negro belt dangerous admixtures
were being decanted as whisky.
These reports were submitted ro
Frank Kramer, national prohibition
chief, under whoso direction toduy's
raid was made. He transmitted his in
structions to Leo A. Crossen, enforce
ment officer for Pennsylvania, New
Jersey nnd Dclawnre.
Mnurlce McGrnth nnd the Itev. Dr.
It. R. Johnson, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, at Twenty-ninth and
York streets, in this city, personally
directed totlnj's raid.
It is not known whether ai rests will
be made, but at least thre United
States mnrshnls from Trenton accom
panied the raiding parties.
Guarded Agnlnst "Leak"
Today was chosen for the raid be
cause it wns reported thut the eighteen
resorts under survcllluncc bad laid In

Eorlv this morning more than n score
of Philadelphia agents who partici

Wildwood esterdny, slipped quietly
into Atlantic City. Later they were
oiiied at the WlNonln Hotel by agents
from Trenton.
So that word of the impending raid
should . not reach the resort owners.
United Stntes Commissioner Lewis did
not issue the eighteen senrch warrants
until 11 o'clock, just nn hour before
the ruid began.
These warrants were issued upon af
fidavits sworn to by Agents Muurice
McGrnth. John It. Albnny and Gerald

Hundreds of patrons were crowded in
the resorts when the raiding parties

Scranton, Ta., Sept. 4. Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer has the op
portunity of his official life to neutraliw
I some of the flagrant high cost of Hvin
bluffs thnt he has been making to th
public since the armistice was signed.
Mr. Palmer lives in Stroudsburg, ft
short distance from the anthracite coal
region. T'nless he Is a preferred cus
tomer he is also a victim of the rapacitjr
of the nnthrncite profiteer. What doe
he propose to do about the little matter
of .?,000,000 which' the coal operator
have taken from the people sinc,
April?
The United States District Attorney's
office here passes the buck to Washing
ton. It's up to A. Mitchell Palmer'
c-livuK or uci. iisincc Auorncy Mtn
nett's lips are scaled. , ."'
$40,000,000 to Par $18,000,000 ' A
Within the next forty-live days &
operators must hand over $18,000,bo0.
It is the back pay guaranteed totbn
miners under the award of the United
States Anthracite Coal Commission.
As far ns it is possible to estimate,
the operators have taken from the publte
$40,000,000 on tho plea that this vru
necessary to protect themselves wer
an adverse award rendered. It wa
garbed in the shupe of a boost of $1.00
a ton on domestic' coal.
Under the Lever act Mr. Palmer, l,f I
ho chooses, con proceed ugainst the op
erators. Ho has nothing now to fear
He is not u candidate for the presi
dent . He has driven his political pigs
to market. Whv not go after these con-
corns nnd individuals and compel them
to disgorge?
Everybody now knows that the COaJ
profiteers have collected twice as much
money as is necessary to meet the award
agreed to and signed yesterday by mint
ers nnd opcratots in this city. But
there is not n whisper of restitution ot
of lower prices for the future. It's
10 to 1 shot that the "vacation" of W
per cent of the miners in the region will
be tak'en as a fresh excuse to boost th
price of coal another notch.
s $1,000,000 Interest
There is another big finnncial phas
to this matter of restittrtlon to tu
people.
There is not a coal producer in thin
region that has not been preparing for
this advance in vvuges to the miners.
They have levied the extra dollar a ton,
and if they are as clever In foresigac
ns they arc in gouging the public they
have laid by this Incrense. And they
have been drawing interest on IU
Drawing interest on the public's money
nud pocketing that, too. That repr-'
scnts $1,000,000 or thereabouts.
If this present industrial upheaval
has accomplished tunning .else it baa
nt least mrecteti attention to tlie way
the public has been exploited by tbe
coal operators.
An uroused public sentiment -"may
foicc them to return the money uiey
have taken from the people by n cor
tespouding t eduction in the price of
coal.
The moral help and legal action of
I Attorn?) General Palmer and his De
partment of Justice would bo a mighty
weapon of offense in helping the issue
