May Identify Bodies,

Honolulu, Sept. 1-Workmen en- gagged on the wreck of the United States submarine F-4 here yesterday found the bodies of several sailors in the middle compartment after a search of several hours. Lieutenant Commander Furer believes that the bodies of all the sailors will be re- covered. He is of the opinion that all lie within the hulk of the sub marine.
 Tt is possible that every body may be identified" said Furer. Each man probably carried something by which identification may be made pos- sible in spite of the condition of the bodies."
 The work of drydocking was com pleted. A large jagged hole was dis covered in the bow and a smaller one near the stern. Powerful lights disclosing thick layers of mud, dead fish and all sorts of wreckage and debris. A hoist was erected above the submarine and the work of clean ing out the debris will consume at least two or thre days

CARPENTERS STRIKE.
Work on Remington Plant at Eddy

Philadelphia, Sept 1.-Union car- penters employed in the erection of the new plant of the Remington Arms company at Eddystone, near here, went on strike yesterday for a mini- mum wage of 45 cents an hour. There are about $50 carpenters employed at the plant and all but about fifty are said to be union men. The union men claim that all of the non-union carpenters have joined their ranks.
 The union grievances were present. ed to the contractors yesterday Cop ies were also submitted to officials of the Remington Arms company. hTe labor men believed their demands would be granted without walking out. because the tool manufacturing division Is to be opened September 15 and all departments by October 1.

of the F-4 evolved excessive quanti- ties of hydrogen gas, the fumes of the gas and acid becoming noticeable 1 when the boat was submerged for ! any length of time. In less degree, ,, it is asserted, this condition too ob- l tains with all the boats of this class Reference Is made to a hydrogen explosion which occurred on the same 1 boat while undergoing repairs just three weeks prior to her loss, and such explosions, it is stated, might occur at any to seep into the bat teries of all the F-4.
 Despite specifications which re- quired the covering over the batteries to be watertight, sea water had been known to seep into the batteries of all the "F'' boats, the report adds, and such seepage immediately would cause the generation of deadly chlorine gases. In this connection attention is called in the report to such an accident on the F 1, when large quantities of this gas were generated. Owing to the fact that the submarine was moored to the dock at the time, With the matches open, no fatalities or injuries to her crew resulted The steering gear of the F 4, it was found, had given trouble at times, but the report finds no fault with it's design. Declaring that inspections of the i'll fated submersible were regularly held, the report shows that on the whole the F at these in spections compared favorably with the other boats of her class.
 No Blame Attached to Crew.
 Absolving the officers and crew of any suspicion of incompetency or negligence the report says:
 ''The officers and men of the sub marine torpedo boat F-4 were, in so far as can be ascertained, diligent and alert in the performance of their duties, and no reluctance was shown by them in operating the said F-4, even though the said officers and crew were well aware of the existing defects"
 The board which made this prelimi- nary investigation was composed of the following officers: Commander Sumner E. Kittelle. Lieut. Milton S. Davis, Lieut. Hugh Brown and Charles T. Westcott, IT,, U. S. M. C., as re- corder.
 The board now examining the wreck of the boat consists of Rear Admiral Clifford J. Boush, command ant of the naval station at Honolulu; Naval Constructor J. A. Furer and Lieut.. K. B. Crittenden. This board from minute examination of the in terior of the submarine hopes to be able to get at the exact cause of the accident. although acting Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt admitted to- day that some of the necessary evi- dence may have been obliterated If possible, 1t is the intention of the Department to bring the bodies of those recovered from the wreck back to the United States for burial.
