GRIM FIGHT IN
BURIED u BOAT
Member of Crew Of Submarine SIS
Tells Story eff the Rescue-Bat-
tie With Rushing Water and
Gas, Exhausted all Men.

New York, Sept 4.--Telling a story
Of a grim fight for life in darkness
amid choking gas fumes, beneath the
surface of the sea, FRANC X. White
head. chief machinists mate Of the
submarine S-5, which sank off Cape
Henlopen Wednesday, reached his
home in Brooklyn tonight.
His story, the first to be told by one
of the men rescued from the living
tomb, follows:
There were 26 men and officers on
our boat We took dive IN loo feet
of water and the first thing we knew
water started to rush in.
1.-The water was coming in thru a
defective main air intake valve. The
water came into the torpedo room at
the forward end. Then it came into
the control room and into the engine
room aft We hit bottom and rested
easily The torpedo room was. com.
plefets flooded. We blew all the oil
.ont of the fuel tank. but still we were
too heavy to rise.
Cook Figures.
1.-THE captain, Cooke then figured
out that our boat was 23l feet long
and that the water was but 100 feet
deep and that by standing the boat
on her nose the stern would project
thru the water To do this, we had
to let the water from the other COM
partments run into the storage room
when we knew it would form a
deadly chlorine gas, but there was
nothing else to do.
Z. t..t
rushed past and the stern began to
rise we were all swept along with it,
Several of the men were injured The
salt water on the battery plates caus-
ed chlorine gas to form and the men
began choking. We had only six
gas masks among us.
@Finally we got into the tiller room
and after five hours work managed
TO drill hole thru the steel plates. We
put old rags on fuel pipe and push
ed thru one of the holes as signal
to steamer we saw about five miles
away She evidently did not see US
and passed by.
Are Given Air.
"An hour later the Alanthus came
along and sent boat to help us. At
ter getting a cable around us, two
crews from that boat started to drill
from the outside. We kepts working
inside but the air was so foul we
could only work few minutes at
time, then fall back exhausted. FL
nally hole was made large enough to
put hose thru and air was pumped to
u.s.
aWe rugged up funnel and thru
this we received the first water we
had had in "a hours. We were down
.35 hours and all we had was canned
tomatoes, corn beef and string beans
with two buckets of water for the
whole crew.
FINALLY a plate was cut thru and
we were carried out"

COTTON SHOWS
BIG INCREASE
Government Report For August Ind
Gates Gain of At Least 100000
Bales-Boll weeviI Active
in Sections.

Washington, Sept. Continued
improvement in the cotton crop thru
August amounting 70 an increase Of
more than quarter Of q million bales
in the month was announced today by
the department Of agriculture IN its
forecast Of a total production Of IL
7S3, 600 bales based on August rs con
ditions.
Remarkable growth took place dur
ing August, officials said, but the
crop is from two to three weeks late
and late fall is necessary for favor
able termination Of the crop. Boil
weevil damage will be greater than
usual, they said.
In statement commenting on cot
ton conditions, the department said.
The cotton plant has grown Won
derfully during August over the en-
tire belt, as a result of almost con-
slant rains, but this growth during
the past two or three weeks has been
largely at the expense of fruit and
the plant, altho large and vigorous,
is snappy. The crop in the normally
dry areas of Texas and Oklahoma,
where the ample rainfall was benef-
cial and in all the northern portion Of
the belt has shown absolute or rela-
tive improvement for August. Gen
orally speaking, the early set Of bolls
was satisfactory and when the bolls
are not now present in proportion to
the size of the plant, there is a fairly
satisfactory set of bolls.
The cloudy, wet weather and cold
nights with large growth have pre-
vented the plant from overcoming its
initial lateness and it is from two to
three weeks late over most of the
belt

RECORD SENTENCE
IN CONTEMPT CASE
Man Who Refused to Answer Grand
Jury Questions Severely
Punished.

Hot Springs, Sept. 2.-The heaviest
sentence imposed for contempt of
court in the history of Garland coun-
ty was given Melvin Lockett yester-
day afternoon by Circuit Judge Scott
Wood, who fined Lockett 81 900 and
sentenced him to six months impris-
onment in the county jail.
Judge Wood also denied an applica-
tion for bond pending an appeal to
the supreme court, and informed
Lockett's attorney, Berry H. Ran
dolph, that no effort need be made to
induce the court to minimize the SEN
tence of punishment, because the ac-
tion would be final
Lockett had about 81 200 when ar
rested, and this was taken from him
by Sheriff Brad o. Smith.
After the sentence had been pro-
nounced Attorney Randolph made APP
plication to get the difference between
the fine and the amount Lockett had,
but Judge Wood ordered Sheriff
Smith to give back only the surplus
that might exist after the fine and
costs had been paid.

one Of the greatest needs which
confront our nation at this time Is
the need for trained artisans in the
Industrial arts. For years America
has overlooked the economic value Of
art applied to industry. and has neg
lected education In this calling,
which is a great national asset. Be
cause this demand has been ably sup
piled by foreign born and trained
artisans who have been called TO serve
their countries In the world war
those OF whom have been spared Will
remain TO rehabilitate the trade in
their own country. leaving America
without skilled men.
Industrial art Is entirely demo
cratic. II is vital factor In our
daily life; our every need creates H..
What Is more democratic than our
self-service stores. where each pack
age must be Its own salesman by It's
silent appeal to the eye? Art added
to q bit OF raw material can increase
its value many thousand per cent.
