On January Is, following the in
stallation of the Edison battery on the
E-2 and before that vessel was ready
for service, an explosion occurred on

gas given off by the batteries. -Four
men were killed and number injured
A board of naval officers Immediately
investigated, but it's report was kept
secret and nothing ON the subject has
been given out by the secretary, not
wfthstanding many requests by news
papers for information.
Subsequently there was an investi-
cation by second board of the rela-
tive merits of storage batteries, and
its report also was kept secret.
1t is alleged further that, while
naval officers concerned regarded the
Edison battery as dangerous for sub
marines, Mr.. Daniels insisted on let
ting the contract for batteries for the
new submarine LIS to the Edison Com.
pany, and that recently when officers
in charge of the construction of the
vessel tested the batteries purchased
for it they urged their rejection, but
MIR. Daniels declined to reject them.
1t is understood, however, that they
will not be installed. The cost to the
government was between $4,000 and

Believes That Report of Board
of Investigations Should
Be Given Public

Using the loss of the F-4 and the ex-
plosion OF the E-2 some months later
as basis for scoring the Navy De
partment on its policy of keeping sec
ret regarding investigations of subma-
rine batteries, the Navy League
through its organ, Sea Power, says as
follows in the November issue:
According to newspaper accounts
the Navy Department is ignoring Pres
ident Wilson's policy of pitiless pub
licity,' particularly with respect to the
alleged failure of the Edison storage
battery for submarines.
Not much is known on the subject
since the facts have not been given
out officially; but the main points of
the story in circulation are substan-
tally these:
The F-4 met with disaster off Ho-
nolulu about 10 months ago and was
subsequently raised and examined.
The board of naval officers which in
vestigated was unable to determine
the cause of the accident. Mr. Edison
and his representative, Mr. Miller
Reese Hutchinson, commented on the
disaster and attributed the loss of the
vessel to defective batteries. They
asserted that the use of Edison bat
teries would do away with the danger
of escaping gas which was believed to
have been the cause of the F-4 acct
dent. Secretary Daniels took Mr.. Edi-
