BATTERY NOT 70 BLAME,
EDISON ENGINEER MAKES
STATEMENT CONCERNING
EXPLOSION ON SUBMA.
RINE,
hutchinson States That Storage Bat
0ery in E-2 Was Not Injured in the
Least-Board of INJURY Busy.

New York, Jan. ia statement
indicating that the new Edison stor-
age battery was not in any way re-
sponsible for the explosion on the
submarine E-2 at the New York navy
yard yesterday was made tonight by
Miller Reese Hutchinson, chief engi-
[neer for Thomas A. Edison and a
member of the naval consulting board.
The preliminary inquiry into the ex-
plosion was held in secret today by
the board Of inquiry appointed by
Rear Admiral Usher, commandant of
the navy yard. Persons on board or
near the E-2 at the time of the ex-
piosion We're questioned at length.
Rear Admiral Usher made the follow
ing formal statement tonight:
The board of inquiry met today
and went aboard the submarine where
they conducted thorough investiga-
ton. The investigation was not fin
ished and therefore the board will
again meet tomorrow. No conclusion
was reached"
secretary of the Navy Daniels, who
Is expected to appoint tomorrow a
board OF inquiry to conduct a formal
investigation, left for Washington to-
day without making any statement re-
garding the explosion.
At the hospitals where the injured
were taken it was said several of
them were in serious condition and
one 10 expected to die.
Nothing approximating an official
inquiry as to the cause of the explo
sion, which resulted in the death of
four workmen and the injury of ten
others, was Obtainable.
The only light shed on the disaster
was contained in the statement Of Mr..
Hutchinson. who absolved from blame
the Edison battery designed to mini
mice the danger to submarine crews
resulting from accumulations of gas.
The E-2 was the only boat thus far
equipped with these batteries. the
tests Of which were reported to be
thoroughly satisfactory.
II have made as complete inspec-
ton Of the interior of the submarine
E-2 as conditions will admit" said Mr..
Hutchinson. This inspection made
an Mr.. Edison's chief engineer and
personal representative. I have form
ed a tentative opinion. 1t Is subject to
revision when all the racts are
brought forth
Mr.. Hutchinson declined 10 say
what his tentative opinion was.
!, "As, to the Edison battery, with all
the facts and conditions before me,
see no reason to recommend to Mr..
Edison any changes or alterations in
the theory, construction or method Of
installation of the Edison submarine
type storage battery" Mr.. Hutchinson
Continued. ''The battery in the E-2
does not appear to have been injured
In the least"

Cost His Last Cent; Besides Going
Hungry He Was Arrested.
Detroit, Mich.-Bert Mcdonald of
Bedford is a lover of horses and has
spent nearly all his sixteen years in
their company. This is the principal
reason why Bert withstood the pangs
of hunger for twenty-four hours so a
horse he is charged with having stolen
might not go hungry.
Bert is rosy checked, fair haired and
sturdy. His father was employed In
Detroit until a short time ago. He was
thrown out of work and Bert went to
Rochester to get job.
The boy couldn't get the Job and
walking disconsolately about the street
his attention was attracted to hand.
