In the light of their recent advance the wonder is that these bonds were allowed to lie so long on the bargain counter without attracting the at tention of both large and small in- vestors.

Chains Slip and Craft Drops Back.
| The hOists did not work right. the
chains slipped and the HIS returned to
Its old position. After some time the
rescuers succeeded In passing new
chain under the submarine, which
slowly raised by the stern so that the
bow would be tipped as little as pos
sible. While this maneuver was being
made tug cut the telephone connec-
tlOn and communication with the sunk
en- vessel was again cut Off and was
not re-established.
The hours passed in extreme, an
guish, the victims believing that the
attempts to save them were useless.
and those making the attempts think
ing 1t was already too late to rescue
their brave companions alive. But
the work was continued with energy.
and at length the stern came to the
surface.
That was the most solemn moment
Of the whole operation. Few believed
that any of the crew would still be
alive and that all they had done was
to raise out Of the sea coffin contain
ing Fl bodies.
With no means for communication
with the submarine to let the men
know that the stern was already
above water. one Of the sailors tapped
the Morse code with a hammer on the
outside. A few minutes passed and
the hatchway was opened. A man
appeared, exhausted, pale and his eyes
bloodshot. One by one the rest fol-
lowed.
Then when 1t was thought that only
the captain was still on board 1t was
found that two men were missing.
Captain Del S,lar descended again
into the submarine and found a ma
chlnist still calking and a fireman etill
Mt the pump. Neither Of the two had
received orders to come out and they
remained at their posts.
The Gillian submarine H-3 was des-
ignated with the number ELI In the
English navy. 1t was the belief Of
the sailors that because 1t had borne
this number 1t was certain to come to
harm.
1t was said that the accident was
caused by the breaking of the bottom
Of the tank In the battery. At the
time Of the accident the automatic
scaphanders for. the rescue of the
crew were not on board. They had
been taken to the arsenal for repairs.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, six
hours after the sinking, the crew
heard the clatter of chain that was

and injuring more than a score, were
cleared OF blame for the disaster to-
day by Col. Joseph c. Morrow. chief
of aviation for the central depart
ment OF the United States army.
Col. Morrow, called as a witness
| before the coroner's jury, testified
| that officials of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber company could not be held
responsible. He made a trip in the
dirigible a short time before II
f. started its fatal fight.

There seemed nothing wrong with the
bag or the engines at the time the

| the pilot, he is most competent and
observed nothing wrong with his
handling of the dirigible. The en-
gines, which have been harshly crit
icized, were loaned to the Goodyear
firm by the United States govern
ment."
Col. Morrow's testimony was d.
rectly opposite to that of Capt. Ben
iamin Lipsner, who appeared before
the coroner's jury and told the So
called inside story" of the disaster
as related to him by Harry WaclSer,
of Cleveland, a mechanic who is near
death from injuries received when
the blimp fell.
Chicago, July z3.-The alleged
Inside" story of the dirigible balloon
disaster Monday In which twelve per-
sons were killed and more than two
dozen injured, will be told to the
coroner's jury today by Capt. Ben
jamin ]. Lipsnic, former superintend-
ent OF the government aerial mail
service. Lipsnic claims that the
story was told him by Henry Wacker,
Of Cleveland, O., mechanician of the
blimp, whose death from injuries he
received when he fell, is expected.
Wacker charges, according to Capt.
Lipsnic, that disaster was caused by
an explosion originating in the ro-
tary engine on the port side of the
dirigible, flames from back fire be-
ing communicated to the gas bag.
He also alleges that the dirigible
was out of order and that the crew
had discussed it before starting the
fatal voyage. Wacker declares that
Carl Weaver, mechanician, who was
killed, had imperfect knowledge of
