He heard the crash. The night was clear, he said, and there were no boats other than the two tugs and the submarine Deutschland in the vi-( cinity. He gave no credence to reports that a hostile motor boat was ap- proaching the submarine at the time of the accident. Henry G. Hilken of Baltimore, president of the Eastern Forwarding company, said that so far as he knew the only damage the Deutschland suffered was a twisted stem. It was learned later, however, that the under- sea boat has in its bow at least one hole about twenty inches square. A portable forge was taken down to the pier and the hole is being patched up. Captain W. A. Fones, shore super- intendent of the Scott company, in charge of the repairs, said he ex- pected that the Deutschland would be ready to leave within two or three days.

The newspaper launch returned here after following the submarine several miles, At that time the sea was smooth and the moon in its last quar- ter cast its rays over the water. Failure of the tugs to return at an early hour led to much speculation, but it was believed they would accom- pany the submersible well beyond the three-mile limit. Start is Unexpected.

DENOUNCED BY VAN HISE Washington, Nov. 17.—At a special meeting of the chamber of commerce of the United States today, Repre- sentative Adamson, author of the eight-hour railroad law and vice chairman of the congressicnal com- mittee about to investigate the whole subject of transportation, predicted that congress would not wait for the committee’s report to speedily enact legislation to make impossible such national paralysis as was threatened a few months ago. Mr, Adamson told the chamber the law was within the enacting power of congress and denied the contention that it is an act to regulate wages and not an act fixin? hours of employ- ment. Speaking for himself alone he did not believe in government owner- ship of railroads, nor in any attempt to consolidate the regulating power into federal hands to the exclusion of state commissions. Charles R. Van Hise, president of the University of Wisconsin, attacked the eight-hour law. “Why may the same men not come back in two years when another con- gress is to be elected, or in four when a president is to be elected and say, ‘Gentlemen, if you do not pass a law providing time and a half for over time we shall strike,’ ” said he. “It is inevitable if there is not reme- dial legislation this situation will arise agdin and unless courage is exhibited in the matter that was not exhibited in this last case.” A feature of today's sessions was the presentation by Henry R. Towne, New York, of a plan for preventing interruption of public utilities opera- tions by strikes. The plan is under- stood to be endorsed by the New York chamber of commerce and pro- | fra: 1916. vides for the enforcement of the con- structural relation between public util- ities and employes. Interest in today’s discussions was centered largely in the report of a special committee which reviewed in detail efforts of the chamber to pre- vent a strike last August in the con- troversy between the railroads and the brotherhoods and which resulted in the passage of the Adamson law. The report emphasizes, that the chamber advocated throughout but one remedy as a basis for settlement, namely that congress direct the In- terstate Commerce commission to in- vestigate the question of wages paid with hours of service to each class of railroad employes and other relevant matters. The commission announces that it will continue its activity in connection with proposed legislation for compul- sory investigation and other phases of President Wilson's program for dealing with sthe railroazr problem as well as the meetings of the joint con- gressional committee.
