Diver
AIDED BACK into
Water BY Crane
Submarine K-8 Floated at
1928 Today; Apparently is
Not Damaged BY Accident

In a message from the commandant
at Pearl Harbor, it was stated this
afternoon that the submarine KS came
off the shoal at Ford Island at 1928,
apparently not damaged.
The big crane towed out this morn
ing was used to lift one end, and the
Navajo pulled the diver into the deep
water under her stern. II is said the
submarine was not raised more than
a foot and half when she went on
the reef yesterday.
This morning the naval tug Navajo
left for Pearl Harbor towing the 250-
ton floating crane, with which il was
proposed to lift the end of the boat
which was on the reef, and allow it to
slip back into deep water
Yesterday afternoon the Navajo and
three X submarines tried to pull the
KS off and snapped fiye-inch steel
cable, after which it was decided to
leave the boat until morning.
Boat Was on Her Side.
The diver was then lying almost on
her side with so degree list and the
crew did not spend a comfortable
night. Extra watches were kept all
night as it was thought the boat
might slip back as the tide rose
Under the stern of the KS yester.
day the lead showed 40 feet of water,
and under the forward-center, where
the boat rested on the reef, there was
nine feet of water. AS the KS draws
only IL feet, this shows that she was
not very high.
The KS was making the usual run
for submarines, around Ford Island.
After leaving her base on Magazine
Island, the diver went along the Pearl
Harbor channel, past the drydock, and
was turning into the west loch chan
mel, when her rudder stuck starboard
and could not be budged, throwing
the boat to the right and landing it on
the reef between bouy 19 and the
southeast corner of Ford Island. The
boat rested on the reef as though it
was on a pivot and when efforts we're
made to move it she swung from side
to side but could not be pulled off.

representative Burnett of Alabama
has declared that he will offer inn

change or modification.
The pretext for offering the bill
twice vetoed, once by Taft and the
other time by President Wilson, is
to head off the influx of undesirables
after the present European war ter
inmates. The belief is strongly en-
tertained by Mr., Burnett that there
should be putting up of the bars.
He feels, in addition, that all those
living in this country who fastened
home as reservists, leaving families to
be cared for in the event of death or
failure to return. should not be per.
mitted to re-enter the United States.

my judgment the sections ,of the bill
covering criminal offenses would bar
this class of persons. greatly de.
sire, also, to exclude militant suf-
fragettes, who would maliciously de-
stroy property, and / believe have
the support of women's organizations
in this matter"
Although this measure has been
twice vetoed the fact must not be
overlooked that the house failed to
pass it over the veto by only eight
votes. The general opinion prevails
that the required two-thirds vote could
be obtained in the senate at any time
When President Wilson vetoed the
bill he declared that 1t violated the
traditional American attitude regard
ing the admission of aliens to the
United States.

much of its effect was necessarily
wasted on shoots that died out. The
