HELP FOR THE BEREAvED


President Helps Start Fund for the
Dependent KIN of the Dead
Washington, April 15.-The presi
dent has contributed the sum of 500
and the secretaryof the navy like
sum as the nucleus of fund for the re-
lief Of the dependent next of kin of
the enlisted men who lost their lives in
the disaster on the Missouri. Mrs.
Church, wife OF Colonel ". c. Church,
of New York. has sent 500 for the
sund. Paymaster General Harris has
been authorized to receive any other
contributions that may be made for
this purpose. The president and Secre-
tary Moody haveboth telegraphed their
sorrow over the tragedy to Admiral
Barker, and to the widow of Lieut..
Davidson.
Numerous expressions of sympathy
have been received from representa-
tives of foreign governments at this
capital. Meantime the cause of the
disaster and means for the prevention
of repetitions are the subjects most
discussed in naval circles. The con-
struction bureau, which designs and
builds these turrets, for some time has
been working on the problem of design
ing a turret that will prevent the COM
munication of flame from the floor of
the turret, where the gun crew stands,
to the handling room, where the am
munition converges from the magazine
at the foot Of the ammunition hoists.
What is desired is some means Of
automatically opening and closing the
large hole in the floor of the turret
through which the ammunition is lift
I'd by the hoist up the well from the
bottom of the ship to the breech of the
gun. There are two of these hoists,
and consequently two openings, about
three or four feet across, and the am
munition comes up on sort of dumb
waiter The problem is to provide an
automatic trap door from each of the
two openings that will have the speed
needed and be otherwise safe.

newest battleship of the navy, the
Missouri, had narrow escape from
being blown to pieces by the explosion
of magazine, and also being beached
has come to light. Captain William 5.
Cowles prevented the latter when the
vessel was within 80 yards of the
beach by giving orders that the ships
course be changed. Chief Gunner's
Mate Monson saved the ship and lives
of over GOO men by jumping into the
open magazine and closing the door
behind him.
Details of How 1t was Done.
1t is stated, though rot by officers
of the Missouri, that when the officers
heard the explosion in the turret and
saw the fire tapping through the top
they realized that the hot magazine
would next explode, and headed the
ship for the beach, intending to beach
her if possible before the explosion.
Captain Cowles quickly stopped the
plan and put the ship back to sea.
When the first explosion occurred in
the turret the men in the handling room
knew in an instant what had &C.
Cured. The big magazine door was
open, and standing against it were four
charges of powder. Without mo-
ments hesitation Gunner's Mate Mon
son showed these aside and jumping
into the magazine pulled the door
closed after him.
Monson is Nearly Drowned.
The magazine was totally flooded
with water, and when the men opened
the door they found Monson barely
alive, the water having reached TO his
neck. The DANA &c to the battleship is
much greater than was stated at first.
In addition to the large amount of am.
munition ruined by the magazine being
flooded. which will amount to thou
sands of dollars, the after turret is bad
ly injured, the top being burned away
and all brasswork melted inside. The
hoist is charred mass, and the
mechanism of the guns is completely
ruined. The estimated damage caused
by the explosion will reach $4,000.
Dead Now Number Thirty-two.
The total list of dead now num-
bers thirty-two, one man having ex-
pired Wednesday night and two men

that other deaths will occur. o. B.

ent, while thousands were from the

ness being closed for the afternoon and
