CAPT. COVE'S
new THEORY
Boiler Tubes on the Delaware
Must Have Slipped,
He Says
THIS PERMITTED THE
ESCAPE OF TIE STEAM
BY united Press Leased Special Wire. I

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2O.-A new
theory in explanation Of the explosion
ON board the United States Battleship
Delaware. was advanced today by Cap
tain Charles A. Cove, commander Of
the ship in which nine men we're kill
ed in the fire room.
II believe that one of the boiler
tubes must have slipped from their
place" said Captain Cove, who ar
rived here today. "This would per-
nit the escape of steam in the boiler
and eventually create pressure against
the backheader. This pressure eyi-
IDENTIFY finally became too great for
the backheader, forcing it to give
way suddenly. The explosion, OF
course started other tubes and thus
spread the damage.
"I knew instantly when the acci-
dent was reported to me that the men
i'm the fire room must have been KILL
ed. It was not necessary TO order
the men in that part of the ship 10
close the doors shutting of that hre-
room from the rest of the vessel. They
are trained to that duty whenever ac-
cidents occur and in this instance
they performed it without thought OF
the men in the fire room below. The
one thought in time like that is to
save the rest Of the ship without re-
gard for those so unfortunate as 10
be the immediate victims of the dis
aster.
Il doubt il the Delaware will be
ready for her long cruise to Chile by
the 31st of the month. | intend to
see that there is no likelihood of tho
recurrence of a naccident like that on
Wednesday before J begin twenty
thousand mile journey. The Delaware
goes into dock today and thorough
Examination and test Of all her boil
crs will be made. The court OF IN,
hurry named by Secretary Meyer VIII
begin it's investigation at Norfolk TO-
morrow and it is probable that theil
study will reveal the causes OF th'
explosion"

Contestants who are confident that

with renewed effort during these clos

ing If many who are far back will

ported that they had made consider
able progress at the meeting Of the
grange held last evening.
Il is the plan Of the committee on
turnpike abolition to have the Levy
Court purchase the turnpike from the
company and make a county road Of
it. This has been met favorably by the
Levy Court and the only thing that
stands in the day is the passage of a
bill i'm the Legislature to authorize it.
T. r. Weldin, one of the committee
men said this morning that the Turn
pike Qmpany was favorable to the
plan. realizing that it was an out Of
date custom to conduct a toll gate and
Mr.. Weldin said that in his mind all
that would be necessary as far as the
Turnpike Company's interest in the
matter went, was that the county
should give the company a fair amount
for the road.
Mr.. Weldin stated that if there was
any opposition to the proposed bill in
the Legislature he felt sure the Auto
mobile Associations and other organ
izations would help in the fight for the
elimination of the turnpike.
