Fxnlosiop Something Of Mystery.

Washington, Jan 15.-The cause OF
the explosion today on the submarine
E-2 as New York probably will not
be known definitely until special
board of naval officers appointed to-
night has completed an inquiry. First
reports that the new Edison storage
batteries in the E-2 were being re-
charged at the time of the accident
caused navy department. officials to
conclude that hydrogen gas had ig-
nited, but later official information
that the batteries were being dis
charged upset that theory.
The following statement issued by
the navy department tonight contained
all that was known here officially:
AN explosion occurred on the E-2
in dry dock tf;is' afternon at 1.15, ap-
rarently under the battery deck, which
tore UP the battery floor under the for
ward hatch. The Edison storage Dat
terry was being discharged through
rheostat at the time at a slow rate
The department. experts on sub
marine construction said they knew
of only two possible causes Of eXplo-
sion, aside from the possible ignition
Of hydrogen gas. While highly i'm
probable, they said it was possible that
there had been an explosion of the
Gil used to drive the surface engines.
There never has been an accident OF
that character, even with boats oper-
ated by gasoline.
The second possibility, they said,
was that an air flask had exploded.
Flasks which furnish the motive power
of torpedo carry pressure of ZOO
pounds. the fact that the victims OF
the explosion were badly burned ap-
peared to dismiss that possibility.
There has never been such an acci-
dent in the navy. ,

New York, Jan. 15.-Four men were

The detonation was terrific, but the

The interior was badly shattered,

there was no means Of escape for gas
and it was more than an hour after
the blast before the work OF recover

ladder blown up through the coming
tower fell $50 feet away.
The injured and one body were re-
moved soon after the accident, but
three bodies far down in the craft
could not be reached until the gas had
been blown out by compressed air.

Ghe number of men inside the sub

working on the craft.
1t is not thought possible that any
one on the inside could have escaped

What caused the explosion has not
been definitely decided. Read Admiral

no kind Of gas and there was no gaso-
line on board. The engine was of the
oil-burning Disel type
Pending the appointment Of an Off
cial board of inquiry Rear Admiral
Usher named a temporary investigat-
ing committee as follows: Lieut.. Com
mander Pope, Washington, commander
of the recein ing snip Maine; Lieut.. L..
NJ Stewart of the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Mccall and Lieut. Rush P. Fay,
commander of the submarine division
to which the E-2 was attached. This
committee Immediately began to take
testimony.
M,g.d Be Hydrogen.
The opinion was expressed that the
process of withdrawing the charge
from the batteries might have caused
the formation of hydrogen gas. The
explosions of that nature have been
frequent on submarines of all navies
and several slight ones .have occurred
on American boats.
The E-2 was the only vessel in the
world equipped with the Edison nickel
batteries and she made her first trip
with them December 7, last. 1t was
reported that the new batteries gave
better speed with less fuel.
The Edison battery, experiments
have proved, generates nearly double
the ordinary amount of hydrogen dur
ing the process Of charging, but on
discharge or while lying idle gives OF
much less. During the battery trials
there were reports from her officers OF
an undue amount of hydrogen. The
boat made one trip with observers
aboard and it was reported that while
in operation not enough gas was gen
Grated to be dangerous.
There were three other submarines
in the dry dock, but they were about
so feet from the E-2, which had been
undergoing repairs since December 80
There were no torpedoes or gasoline
aboard any OF them. Secretary Dan
iels was at luncheon at the National
Democratic club here when infoCmed
Of the explosion. Rear admiral Usher
was there also and the commandant
left for the yard Immediately
Lieut.. Charles NJ. Cooke, commander
of the E-2, was not at the navy yard
when the explosion occurred.
Commander Daniel wv Wurtsbaugh,
a navy department aide, reported to
Secretary Daniels this afternoon the
result of his preliminary inquiry into
the explosion.
"As Commander Wurtsbaugh has the
information at first hand" Mr.. Dan
! iels said, ~ prefer That he should i'm
part it, as he can do it more lntell''
gently than / can"
Commander Wurtsbaugh said:
"The E-2, one of the Oldest subma'
rines, was in dry dock when the ex-
plosion took place. 1t was an internal
explosion, there being no apparent
damage on the outside"

HEREDITARY
LUNG WEAKNESS
Serious and Fatal Results Can often Be
Avoided By Using Simple
Precautions

Men and women who by inheritance
or nature have a tendency to weak
lungs and the easy requirement of
alarm the same symptoms developing
in their growing children will be inter
ested in the following. letter from. the
ter, reported here in substance:
Wesleyan Methodist Parsonage
V. II. Sibley, Pastor.
Both my parents died of Tuberculosis
and it has been of constant alarm to
Mr.. Sibley and myself. lest in our boy
the traces Of this dread disease should
develop. \ double attack of pneumonia
left his lungs weak, and he contracted
severe cold. All through the winter
he coughed incessantly. Our doctor said
we must take our boy from school and
give him absolute rest and the best of
treatment, II we. save him Then we
began to give him OX1DAZE and he
soon began to eat and sleep naturally.
His night sweats stopped entirely. In
three weeks his cough was gone and his
kept on with school and completed his
school year with his class in good
shape. One mother. TO whom i have
sure it saved the life Of her little -irl.
Mrs. Grace V. Sibley.
OXidaze, as used by Mrs. Sibley, is
New England physician's prescriptions,
a pleasant powerful combination of an
alcohol or habit forming drugs.
Mingling with the saliva its juices zeal
the infamed membranes gently but
promptly, not only stopping n dry,
hoarse or tight cough but checking tile
formation of phlegm in the throat and
bronchial tubes. thus ending the per-
sistent loose cough. Its success has
been so really remarkable even in cases
Of long standing that G. A. Gorgas Co.
and other leading local druggists say
they have been authorized to return tho
purchase price if in any case OXidaze
fails to stop the cough. With a guaran-
tee like this ii is well to insist on Oxi-
daze; take nothing in it's place. as
single bottle, taken now, may save
many dollars in doctors bills in the fu-
ure.-Advertisement.
