PROBE ON
j. s. VESSEL
Survivors of Northern Pacific
Not Convinced That Burning
of Transport Was Accident

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Feb. o
Survivors of the former transport
Northern Pacific, which was burned
off Cape May, N. j., yesterday with a
loss of four lives, are not convinced
that the burning of the ship was
wholly accidental.
While neither Captain William
Lusti, in command, nor any member
of the crew would make a formal
statement concerning the fire, some
of the latter declared they suspected
foul play.
Belief was expressed among the
survivors that the fire was the re-
suit of some activities aboard the
vessel before she left her berth, at
Brooklyn.
An attorney for the Sun Shipbuild-
ing Corporation, was here today 10
obtain sworn statements from the
crew. So far as could be learned
the agent failed in every case, the
explanation being given that the
men had been warned to say noth-
ing.
one of the three boats picked up
by the transport contained thirteen
men and in the other w were us
tributed the remainder OF those
saved, including Captain LUST, chlel
Engineer Clayton and Executive VI
fcer Clyde Smith. The rescue snip
commanded by Captain Seth OF Bos-
ton, was on her way to Hampton
Roads, to load a cargo of coal 1or

REPAIRS TO LIBRARY ARE
DISCUSSED At MEETING

\ general discussion of h con-
dition Of the library building occu-
pied much of the time of the meet
ing of the Library Board last night
Attention was called to, the fact thai
the roof on the rear portion or the
bui.4ing viii have to be rebuilt ana
maryA other improvements made to
the building. Included in these I'M
provements will be the necessity of
cutting doorway into the new chill
dren's room so that the little !
can enter and leave the building
without the necessity of walking
thrrL.g- tee main library d
room as is now the case. floors in
other parts of the building will also
have to oe replaced.
1t was estimated that the repair
| work necessary, not including the
roof. will cost in the neighborhood
of $500. 1t was pointed out to
| the board hat there is NJ money on
hand with which to do this work.
| Louis Rossi reminded his fellow
members On the board that last year
when he went before the aldermen
and requested Il large appropriation
for this work, he was Informed that
this was impossible but If the board
would decide on how much it would
cost to put the building in shape the
money would be raised by a bond
issue.
1t was therefore decided to obtain
figures for the cost of the improve
ments and submit them to the al
dermen for their action. 1t was
pointed out that the reason the
building is in such bad shape is be-
cause no money is appropriated with
which to keep it in condition as the
board must either choose between
spending the money obtained for the
purchase of books or the care of the
building.

Bic CONTRACT
FOR KEYPORT
Aeronarine Co. Gets Contract
for rs Martin BomberS--
Work for Many

KEYPORT, Feb. "a telegram
received from Congressman T..
Frank Appleby yesterday afternoon
at the Aeromarine plant here stated
that the Aeromarine company mas
been awarded the contract for
twenty-five Martin bombcrs which
are to be supplied to the war de-
partment. The original contract
called for fifty bombers but the
local company feels repaid for all
efforts exerted in securing the con-
tract as the twenty-five bombers
mean a half million dollars worth of
business for the local plant.
Oficials of the company, 1nclud-
ing President Reddin and Engineer
Paul G. Zimmerman, have been IN
Washington for the past ten days
wording to secure the contract
which means so much to the bor-
ough of Keyport. The contract
which was to have been awarded
Monday was held up until Wednes-
day and it was through the efforts
of Senator Walter f.. Edge, Senator
Frelinghuysen and Congressman
Appleby that the contract went TO a
New Jersey firm.
Hundreds of kilograms were sent
TO Washington expressing the senti-
ments of the people of this state
over awarding the contract to an
other than the Aeromarine COM
pany. The Curtiss company were
low bidders but had not made one
delivery on the contract which they
secured last June, which bid they
were permitted to lower $4,000 in
order to underbid the Aeromarine
company who at that time were the
lowest bidders.
At that time the local company
felt that they did not receive a
square deal and for that reason they
made the most strenuous efforts to
secure at least a part of the present
contract. The local company thanks
The public in general for their
staunch support in this effort. The
plant will Immediately begin work
on the bombers and will employ
more hands. about two hund. ed be-
ing employed in the aircraft depart
ment at this time.
