REPORT NOT SATISFACTORY.
Secretary Daniels Awaits Furthe,
Inquiry Regarding Explosion.

The findings of the naval board which
made a preliminary investigation to
determine the cause of the explosion
aboard submarine E-2, at the New York
navy yard, Saturday, are regarded by
Secretary Daniels as inconclusive, and
he will await the report of the naval
court of inquiry, now making an in
vestigation.
The board held that the explosion
was due to gas generated by the new
Edison storage battery and ignited by
spark of unknown origin. Five men
were killed and nine others seriously
injured in the disaster.
The question of the future use of the
Edison batteries on submarines may
depend upon the outcome of the report
of the court of inquiry, as Secretary
Daniels hopes to determine from it
whether the battery itself was respon-
sible for the explosion.
