A Progressive luncheon.

Mrs. A. 4. Padgett entertained a
number of her friends very beauti-
fully Friday afternoon with a pro-
gressive luncheon, about thirty
guests being present. The parlor,
library and dining room were at
tractively decorated. Daffodiis were
used in great profusion and the
beauty Of these harbingers of spring
was heightened by graceful palms
and ferns. The light from the cleo
troliers was softened by having the
shades covered with daffodils. Soon
after the guests arrived they were
invited into the dining room and
seated about number of small ia
bles, four at each table, where they
participated in a luncheon which
was daintily served in six courses.
At the conclusion Of each course a
bell was sounded and the guests
changed tables, just as the person
mel of the tables change as in a pro-
gressive game of cards. The unique
place cards contained band-painted
daffodils. At the conclusion of the
repast, during which sparkling wit
and repartee freely flowed, the
guests returned to the parlor, where
the social hour that followed was
punctuated with sweetly rendered
musical numbers, both vocal and in
strumental. The afternoon spent in
the home Of Mrs. Padgett will
afford pleasant memories for tie
future for all who were present.

WRECKED
SUBMARINE TODAY
AT BROOKLYN YARD
One Life Lost and Others Are
Missing According to
Reports

New York, Jan. 10 An explosion
which ripped off the top Of Submarine
E-2 at the Brooklyn navy yard is
known to have claimed one life, and
perhaps others Stories outside the
yard said indeed, that five men had
perished outright in the blast, and that
upwards Of 10 were probably fatally in
.jured. Officers refused information
of the disaster until the list Of victims
had been prepared, but it was un-
officially admitted that "over three or
-four" were killed.
Trouble with batteries was assigned
as the cause. A wave Of flame swept
the interior of the undersea vessel just
after the explosion, trapping the men in
the hull and leaving manholes In the
rear Of the ship as their only means Of
escape. Hence IL was possible to take
out the grimy, terrified men only one
at time. Some Of the injured ap.
peared dead and for time IL was
impossible to tell just how badly they
were hurt, because black smoke and
CRIME covered their wounds and made
them appear almost like charred bodies.
1t was believed that probably many Of
the crew of 80, most Of whom we're
aboard when tho blast came, were sori-
ously burned as they fought their way
through the smoke and flamo filled
diver TO the sxits. Some OF those who
fought their way TO the outside were
cloaked in flames.
Tho submarine was at the yard TO-
repairs.
When II became apparent That tho nc
cident might have been more eerious
than at flint indicated, the navy yard
was closed Then officials withhold
authoritative information and eloakcd
the whole affair In mystery.
The explosion is the second disaeier
Of recent months aboard United States
undersea vessels. The other incident
was the sinking Of the F.4 ht Honolulu
with all her crew aboard. Faultt
within the submarine was assigned In
that case, too, as responsible for the ac'
cident.
The commandant declared later that
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1916-01-15

his list showed the following dead;
Plumber Logan.
John Schultz, yard workman.
Two unidentified men, one Of whom
was nn enlisted sailor.
Ten men were injured, among whom
was Chief Electrician Miles, whose con.
dition is critical. Officers said there
would be further search, but IL is be-
'icved that all the bodies were taken
out.
Cause of Explosion.
Washington, Jan. 15-The submarine
E-2, victim Of an explosion at tho
Brooklyn navy yard today, was tho
'irst undersea boat in the United States
navy to be equipped with the new
Edison batteries. The department ex-
planned that there is no such thing as
n battery explosion, and that previous
submarine accidents had been caused
by generation Of poisonous gases from
tho batteries, with no outlet while the
craft was submerged. The Edison bat
terry was designed to obviato such
poisoning.
The fire department reports said ten
men were aboard, two OF whom were
seriously injured, and that rescue Of
the others was prevented by deadly
'nses inside.

Ell Paso, Texas, Jan. 15.-Fearing
that Villsta bandits would give them

Many Of them left behind developed
properties or rich prospects; and be-
cause Of this Joined with angefed min.

nunciation Of the administration for
what they called lack of proper pro-
lection for American rights south Of
the border
On the whole, however, the city seem
ed to have lost some of its first frey
fury over the executions. United
States troopers still kept guard over
portions of the city. Last night they
marked off the Mexican section and
permitted no Mexicans to quit it; nor
any Americans tc enter it, lest the pre-
vious nights rioting be resumed.
Officials sought to learn why two
American soldiers were in group of
SO refugees who reached the border
last night from the chihuahua district.
The pair was discovered Is miles south
of the boundary.
Included in the party were all tho
force were all the Guggenheim plant in

Carranzista authorities in Juarez be-
stirred themselves today to afford pro-
lection to the Mormon colony of Amer
leans at Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, for
all efforts to induce them to flee have
proven unavailng.
With some of the funerals Of Santa
Ysabcl victims already held, plans were
made for giving Manager Watson Of

morrow, and w. j. Wallace, similar SER
