FIGHTING FOR LIVES
OF MEN IN F-4
Impossible to Raise IIl-Fated Craft in
Time from Bed of the Ocean


Honolulu, March 28.-Hope that the
submarine F-4 would be raised before
nightfall faded yesterday afternoon
when chain loop attached to the dis
abled craft snapped and she settled
back again to the ocean bed. The most
optimistic of the naval officials here
conceded last night there was no re-
asonabIe chance of any of the sub
marines crew of twenty-one being
taken out alive.
The powerful dredger California
lifted the F-4 fifty feet before the mis-
hap occurred which plunged the sub
marine back into the lips of the ocean
crater in which it is believed to have
lodged. Fresh efforts were immedi-
ately begun to get another hold on
the hulk.
Owing to the great depth-ffty
fathoms of the submarines resting
place and the peculiar formation of
the oceans floor the task of passing
chains under the vessel is extremely
difficult. Divers cannot work effec-
lively at that depth and the casting
about for hold is necessarily hap
hazard
AS soon as the F-4 is elevated to
"a point where divers can operate,
lifting chains will be made fast to
ner bow and stern and then it will
De comparatively easy to bring the
vessel to the surface.
The rescuers worked with feverish
haste, spurred by confident predic-
tions of officers that life still would
be found in some of Eds crew if
the boat could be raised before night.
There were numerous heart break
ing mishaps Once a cable, groaning
with dead weight of the hulk, sud-
denly sagged, releasing its hold on
the F-4. Later just after chain
had been successfully passed under
the vessel, it slipped off the smooth
! plates. The disappointment of the
workers reached its climax when the
hulk, after having been raised fully
fifty feet, again shook off the chain
and sank The submarine had then
been under water more than fifty
four hours.
Air bubbles rising to the surface
were taken to indicate that at least
one of the F-4's three compartments
had burst.

MEETING OF TWO GREAT men
Wilson and Taft Join in Paying Hon
or to the Women of the Civil
War

Washington, March 28.-President
Wilson and former President Taft
were central figures here yesterday at
the laying of the corner stone of an
$500, 600 marble home for the Ameri-
can Red Cross, erected as memorial
to the women of the Civil war. They
knelt together to spread mortar be-
tween the corner stone.
A distinguished gathering including
members of the cabinet and the Su-
preme Court and officers of the navy
and army attended the ceremony. Mr..
Taft, Assistant Secretary Brecken-
ridge, of the war department, Miss
Mabel T. Boardman of the Red Cross
and Justice Lamar, of the supreme
court, spoke. The president personally
supervised the laying of the corner
stone.
Mr.. Taft referred to the building
as "a concrete evidence of the remov-
al Of the scars of our sectional con-
l.ct and Of the complete union of the
people of our republic" He praised
the Red Cross as offering to "the peo-
pie of the United States certain and
effective means of relieving human
misery in their own country and in
the world"
Moral Rather Than Physical
Mr.. Taft declared the new struc-
ture would be memorial of the
past and an earnest of the future, =
adding that ''ito is a recognition of
moral rather than physical suffering,
agony and service and therefore of q
higher sacrifice even than that of
men in war"
''It is loving testimonial not only
to the patriotism of women" he con-
tinued, but to the silent tenacity of
their gentle sympathy and affection
for their fellow beings of whom the
love of the mother, the sister and
the daughter are types"
Miss Boardman gave credit to Capt.
James A. Scrymser of New York for
making the building possible. Capt.
Scrymser gave money for the struc-
ture she said because the wife of one
of his comrades in, the Civil war,
Gen. Francis C. Barlow, served as a
nurse during the war.
Mr.. Breckenridge and Justice La
mar praised the work of women of
the North and South during the Civil
war. Justice Lamar declared that the
work of these women "was pre-emi-
nently that which belongs to the house
and the home and it is most appro-
pirate that this monument to women
should be a house."

Admiral Baron shifito Dewa, re-
turning to his home in japan after a
visit to the United States, was a pas
senger on the steamship Nippon Maru,
which passed late last night near the
place outside the harbor where yes
sells were attempting to raise the sub
merged F-4. He was so affected by
the news of the accident that as soon
as he landed IN Honolulu he cabled
the following message to Secretary
Daniels of the navy department:
Shocked learn accident submarine

The educational effects Of a tour In
Europe Will not be missed now that
the great show on the continent is cut
out Of the annual program for Ameri-

AERIAL SPIRAL FLIGHT.
A Trip In the AsroseOpe at the Panama
Pacific Exposition.


One Of the striking amusement de-
vices at the Panama Pacific exposition
Is the horoscope. an enormous In
yerted pendulum, built much Ike a
bascule bridge and having suspended
at its free end a car in which passen
gers are lifted to a height Of $50 feet
above the exposition grounds.
One Of the most novel features OF
this device Is that the arm Is lifted to
a vertical position by two aerial propel
lers placed twenty-seven feet from the
swinging end and operated by electric
motors. After lifting to a point where
It win clear the neighboring structures
the arm swings horizontally around the
supporting tower as 1t lifts, so that the
sensation Is much like that Of ascend
ing an enormous spiral stairway that
has a constantly narrowing diameter
as the top is approached
The car is capable OF carrying 11s
passengers and two attendants and Is
so connected with the arm that 1t Is I'M
possible for 1t to take any but an up
right position. The arm itself Is 242
feet 9% inches long and Is carried on
steel trunnlons fifteen inches in diam
eter on a tower forty-eight feet high.
II Is counterbalanced by a monolithic
concrete block supported on the short
end Of the arm and placed thirty-eight
and a half feet from the trunnions.
The tower in turn revolyes on a verti-
cal axis, being supported on eight four
wheel trucks that work on a circular
track.-Popular Mechanics.
