CAUSE OF EXPLOSION
IN PLUNCER UNKNOWN
Now Settled, However, That
Edison Battery Was Not to
Blame For Blast.

New York. Jan. 17.-Officials con-
Quoting the two inquiries, civil and
naval-into the cause of the explosion
Saturday on the submarine E-2, which
caused the death of -four men and SER
ious injuries to 10 others, were con
WINGED today that the accident was due
entirely to natural causes.
1t is said they were not considering
the suggestion that outside agencies
have been responsible.
Three of the six enlisted men who
were injured were still in a critical con-
dition today at the naval hospital. The
-four civilians in a city hospital were
sufficiently recovered to be questioned
by Coroner Wagner. Three of them
told the coroner they were suffering
from colds las Saturday and were
therefore unable to detect the possible
presence of gas within the hull. The
fourth man. however, said that he
smelled only the usual odor of gas and
oil previous to the explosion.
Louis c. Miles, chief electrician of
the E-2. JOIN Halsey, gunner's mate,
and Guy II. Clark, jr., machinist's mate,
who were injured by the explosion, are
in a serious condition in Brooklyn hos
pitfalls.
A statement issued last night by Mil
Ter Reese Hutchinson, chief engineer
for Thomas A. Edison. and a member
of the naval advisory board, absolved
from blame the Edison storage battery
with which the boat was equipped. He
declared the battery was not damaged.
