CAUSE OF WRECKS IS
Yet TO Be LEARNED
Admiral Coontz Reports In
ability to Ascertain Rea-
son for Disaster

Washington, Sept. 13.-Admira
Coontz. commanding the U. s. fleet
reported to the navy department to-
day that no adequate explanation hac
been given for the unusual position
of the seven American destroyers
when they we're wrecked on the Cali
fornia coast Saturday night. He de.
clared the squadron was far off its
prescribed course, and was steamine
in a fog at 20 knots.
Officials in charge of the inquiry
have been ordered by the department
to expedite any information bearing
upon the causes of the disaster with
out awaiting for completion for the
investigation boards report. Secre-
tary DENLY was said to feel that the
unusual features of the case necessi-
tated special action.
Estimates of visibility which OBJ
tanned at the time of the disaster,
Admiral Coontz said, varied among
officers on the destroyers. His mes
sage did not so into details. A con-
tract for the salvaging of the
as having salvage value,
was approved today by Secretary
DENLY.
The dispatch from Admiral Coontz
said.
Tho seven wrecked destroyers
were without question many miles
out OF their regular course but it
was believed they were in a free
route. Statements as to visibility,
conflict, speed was 90 knots. Com
ment and criticism is premature at
present. Only court of inquiry

BY a free route" naval officers
designate any course which is be-
ieved to be free from natural OBJ
'tructions such as shoals and reefs,
out not necessarily from shipping.
As having some possible bearing
ipon the disaster the attention of
he department was called today to |
he case of the steamer Santa Rosa
which was wrecked July II. 1911, at |
Llmost the identical spot on which |
he destroyers grounded. The Santa
Rosa had steered the same course
Turing 20 years service between San
Diego and San Francisco when, T
through no established cause. she was
thrown ashore. In subse-
uent litigation the theory was ac-
epted that an unexpected coast

Queen street school in Southington
Just over the line from Plainville. A
bolt of lightning during the terrific
early morning thunder storm, set fire
TO one of the cottages and the delay
of the Southington fire department in
answering the alarm gave the flames
an excellent chance to spread and
consume the long row of cottages and
the tabernacle. Besides these, por-
iions of other cottages on the grounds
were burned and a large quantity of
stored in the tabernacle de-
stroyed. The damage was estimated
to be about $4,000.

at the grounds, was aroused from his
bed during the storm by the cries of

was on fire. He hurried to the near
