Defect IN COAST Guns
AT fortress MONROE
Crozier Locates Cause of De-
plorable Accident in Army
SAFETY DEVICE FAILED TO WORK
Mechanism So Delicate as to Become
Disarranged by Hard and
Sudden Jerk on the -
Layard.

WasIlington.To the failure of q
safety mechanism to operate when
a sudden and powerful pull was
given by an artilleryman in attach
ing the lanyard, is laid the respon-
sibility for the accident which cost
the lives of eleven men at Fortress
Monroe, Va, during battle practice.
Such is the conclusion of Gen. Croz-
Ter, chief of ordinance, U. S. A, who
attended the practice and who has
been in touch with the inquiry made
by the investigating board.
Never before In the history OF
the army had the device failed to
work. The possibility of It's occur
ance was demonstrated by Gen.
Crozier shortly after the accident by
a test made of all the guns which
participated in the practice. In an
other gun, in the Inflated De Russy
battery the device was found de-
fsctive when Gen. Crozier applied
unusual force. such as was never
deemed necessary in tests and ex-
aminations.
Just before the accident the gun
was pronounced by officials to be IN
perfect condition. In April a coast
artillery officer on inspection duty
reported that fits premature explosion
was beyond the range Of possibili-
ties. Steps will be taken at once to
improve the device.
"The firing mechanism Is some
what delicate" said Gen. Crozler
in discussing the accident, because
Of the lack of space for the utiliza-
ton of larger and more robust parts,
but it was supposed to be sufhoient
TO withstand all reasonable usage.
The operations of loading and fir-
ing are conducted with great rapid
ity In the praiseworthy effort to
make a good time record and 1t Is
necessary consequently that the mo-
tions are made with great force and
violence.
"In this case it appears that the
gun started to rise to the firing posi-
ton before the breech block was
pushed home preparatory to retain
ing and locking 1t and before the
lanyard was hooked so that the man
whose duty it was to hook On the
lanyard had to do 1t while the gun
was in motion.
Testimony is to the effect that he
had some difficulty in hooking, MAX
ing several passes in his attempt to
do so and he finally succeeded In get
ting it hooked just as the gun was
passing out of his reach, when the
explosion Immediately took place. 1t
its presumable that he inadvertently
clung to the lanyard and gave the
sudden pull which in the case OF
the neighboripg gun which was tried
later proved to be sufficient to de-
feat the safety object Of the me-
chanism"
