SAN PEDRO, June 16-It was dis closed yesterday at the inquiry into the death of more than forty officers mad men aboard the battleship Mis- sissippi, resulting from an explosion this week, that the last act of Lieut. T. E. Zellers, who was one of the vic tims, was to turn on the water and pull the doors of the powder maga- zine closed.
