SYMPATHY FOR GOODRICH
Yamamoto Sends TeLegran1-Cmder
Theory Doubted.

Rear Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich. command
ant of the Brooklyn navy yard, whose son, Lieu
tenant Caspar Goodrich, died in the naval hos
pital at Chelsea late on, Monday from injuries
received on the Georgia, returned to the navy
yard at yesterday. All day kilograms of
sympathy came from relatives and friends and
from officers in the service, with whom the
young lieutenant a favorite.
One OF the first kilograms was from Admiral
Yamamoto. who was recently entertained by
Rear Admiral Goodrich at the navy yard. The
telegram dated Boston, and said:
please accept my deepest sympathy for the
most grievous accident of the Georgia, and
greatly regret to hear your son is wounded, and
wish most sincerely his speedy recovery"
Admiral Dewey and Rear Admiral COghlan
We're among the first TO offer their condolences
Mrs. Goodrich and her daughters are Frustrated
officers on board the ships in the navy yard
yesterday were at a loss to explain the cause Of
the accident. 1T would be folly for any Of us
to attempt to say just what caused the powder
TO ignite" said one. 1T would be all guess
work. and what want is facts"
Captain Samuel P. Comley who commands the
battleship Alabama, which is undergoing re-
pairs the drydock, dsinclined to believe
that the accident was caused by a cinder from
the smokestack.
My experience with cinders from that
source" said he lis that they are dead before
they strike the deck and l have never known
of one burning our hands or our clothes while
walking the quarterback and steaming into a
head wind. The chances Of a Cinder setting fire
TO a powder bag inside turret very remote
There will be an official investigation. at which
I feel sure. the actual cause Of the accident
will be discovered The causes of the other ac-
cidents in turrets have been discovered, and
the best possible remedies applied, 40 I hope we
may be able TO ascertain the in this case,
so that we may safeguard the men from acct
dents in the future"

In discussing the cause of the Georgia explosion

for immediate definite action in view of Mondays

Mr.. Benjamin referred the reporter to an article
by Commander Fiske IN the July issue Of The
Journal of the Naval Institute He said that no

views therein expressed.
When asked for his opinion OF the suggestion of
placing fine wire the turret port holes,
he said:
That is old and my mind impracticable. If
only because there would be insufficient air for
the men In the turrets
He added that the handling OF the guns also
would make this impossible.
Mr.. Benjamin ntimated that the suggestion OF
