Brooklyn.-An explosion which ma

plain wrecked the interior of the U.
S. submarine E-2 while she was being
repaired in Dry Dock No. in the
New York Navy Yard, killing one
enlisted man and three yard work

so severely that some of them are

The E-2 was the only submarine in
the navy equipped with Edison bat
teries, for which the chief merit
claimed is that they do not give off
chlorine gas Also the E-2 had no
gasolene aboard, as her motion power
is generated by a Diesel oil burning
engine. There was no explosive pow.
der aboard
The gas in the hull of the under
water boat for many minutes defied
all attempts at rescuing those known
TO be inside. 1t was not until electric
blowers had been rushed from the
navy yards shops and set to work
clearing the air in the wrecked in
terror of the E-2 that rescuers could
crawl through the little hatchway
Even then the descent could be made
only by using a divers helmet. 1t
was more than three hours before the
last body had been removed.
No one could be found who would
say definitely what the actual damage
to the boat amounts to, but from a
description of the havoc wrought in
the intricate machinery which fills
the hull it is not thought the boat
can be put back into commission for
less than $4,000 to 100000. 1t will
be many months before the E-2 can
take her place in the submarine 40.

Nevertheless, on a platform whlcn
promised definite reforms, DR.. France
stumped the county and interviewed
personally the voters, with the result
that he defeated Mr.. Crothers, who
was powerful enough in his party to
secure the nomination and election as
governor the following year.
In the State Senate DR.. France was
vigorous supporter OF measures look
ing to greater publicity for legislative
procedure and for economy in the ad-
ministaation of the business of the
state. He made a notable fight for the
printing of all bills, for the appointment
of employees in open session of the Sen
ate, and against the making of ap-
preparations of lump sums for inspect
fled objects. He also sought to amend.
strengthen and enforce the law against
corruption in the lobby, favored the
taxation of merely paper corporations
and urged bill designed to improve
the educational sysem of the state.
Senator France was recognized as a
most aggressive advocate of these and
many other measures involving the
public welfare.
Since 1906 he has been devoting him
self almost entirely to business affairs
and has not been a candidate for any
hlia off,cn a hoe +alray,
interest in the various campaigns and
has worked steadily in many directions
to advance the cause of good govern
ment. When important public questions
are being discussed he never hesitates
to speak out fearlessly. He has always
taken great interest in public educa-
ton, having been, at Port Deposit,
actively engaged in that work and con
siders that a perfectly adapted eff
ticient system would do as much or
more than any other one thing to cor
rect the ills of government.
In 1903 DR.. France married Mrs.
EyalYn S. Tome, of Port Deposit, Md,
who assisted the late Jacob Tome in
founding the Jacob Tome Institute.
Mrs. France is a highly cultivated
woman, who not only actively coperat-
ed in the great philanthropic work
which was started at Port Deposit, but
has always taken a prominent part in
other important philanthropic and bust,
ness affairs of the city and state.

DR.. FRANCE ENTERS
LISTS FOR SENATE
Cecil CountaIn Announces Candidacy
For Republican Nomination.

DR.. Joseph Irwin France, former
state senator of Cecil county, has en-
tered the Republican lists for the United
States senatorial nomination. DR..
France formally announced his can
didacy Monday morning and followed
later in the day with statement ex-
planning the reasons for his entry.
Prominent in this statement is the
fact that former Senator William 2.
Jackson has refused the pleas of DR..
France and other Republicans that he
be a candidate and thus possibly
eliminate bitter primary fight.
Though he has been out of public life
for several years Dr. France is recogniz-
ed as one of the most vigorous men of
the state. He has demonstrated a
keen interest in all public questions and
is one of the best posted men in Mary
md on national, economic and educa-
tional conditions.
HIS career in the Senate of Maryland
is well remembered by people who follow
the legislative affairs of the state.
DR.. France made his personal debut
in Maryland politics in 1905 when he
was nominated for the state Senate
against the late Governor Austin L..
Crothers. The campaign was fierce
and memorable one. The late COVER
nor, then an ex-senator, was at the very
height of his strength, had a powerful
political machine and was known as an
almost invincible personal adversary
and an aggressive fighter. In addition
Senator Crothers had in his favor the
nominal Democratic majority of Cecil
county of from 400 to 600 votes.

Three departments are to be Great
ed. Gen. Funston is to command the
Southern Department, Gen. Pershing
to command the Department of New

command Arizona and the West
The plan is said to be the sugges-
tion of Gen. Funston, in the interest
of efficiency. and probably paves the
way for the appointment of q supreme
commander. The indications are that
Gen Wood is being considered for
this position. It Is probable that Per-
shing, now a brigadier-general, will
be promoted. 1t is announced that
the Pershing assignment does not
mean that the U. s. punitive expedi-

Late this afternoon Secretary Baker
announced that the order creating the

so that Gen. Pershing may report
whether his present field activities will
