LIEUT.. BRONSON'S BODY |
IN DEBRIS OF PLANE
Diver Finds Remains Of One Victim
of Air Bomb Tragedy.

navy yard, searching yesterday in the de-
bris Of an aeroplane In the Potomac
River, found the body Of Lieut.. Clarence
King Bronson. who. with Lieut.. Luther
Welsh. was killed near Indian Head.

Ing.
With the exception Of a bruised eye, the
body was not mutilated. 1t was taken to
the naval dispensary, pending arrange
ments for interment in New York. No
trace of Lieut.. Welsh's body was found.
Naval officers believe the explosion took
place directly under Lieut.. Welsh as he
threw the bomb from the machine. This
theory was strengthened by the fact that
Lieut. Bronson's body was not mangled.
The. father Of Lieut. Bronson came to
Washington yesterday to arrange for the
funeral .'..--....
officials Of the Navy Department said
the search for Lieut.. Welsh's body would
be resumed this morning. The only trace
of his remains was found the afternoon
of the tragedy, when q piece of mangled
flesh was picked up In the Potomac.
Lieut.. Bronson was trained for aviation
service on the battleships Mississippi and
North Carolina. He was born In Bush
nell. Ill, and was appointed q midship-
man from New York In 1906. He leaves
a widow and child. Lieut.. Welsh was q
bachelor. He was born in Missouri, was
q years old and was commissioned as
ensign on the North Dakota after leay-
ing Annapolis.
offlcers at Indian Head were inclined
to place the blame for the explosion on
faulty chemical composition of the bomb

Some Of them expect to be cafe chefs
some day, and some Of them are jnsl
counting on a bachelor life or wave

Cooking is taken seriously by thes'
boys. It has TO be taken that way, for
the boys have to eat what they cook
and a scorched pudding or underdon'

that a schoolboy may wish.
The boys declare they are learninl
