VALLEJO, Cal, July 12.-
The arrest at Woodland, Cal, OF
j. Koslowski, a Pole, for inves-
tigation in connection with the
explosion of black powder maya
zine at Mare Island navy yard
was followed today by reports
here that parts of clock meehan-
ism had been found in the ruins
of the magazine.
simultaneously story went
around that the naval board of
inquiry investigating the disaster
had ordered into custody at the
navy yard an employe suspected
of setting the bomb.
Koslowski today stoutly denied
any knowledge of the causes of
the explosion. He admitted that
he had made application at the
navy yard for enlistment, but de-
clared that when rejected by the
recruiting officers, had left the
yard Immediately. He said his
home is Chicago, and that he reg
istered June 6, in precinct 20,
South Chicago.
Whether the clock work found
is really part of an Internal ma
chine or merely the alarm clock
of Gunner Mackenzie, who was
killed by the explosion, is not
known.
