More Testimony
On Delay in Sending
Word Sub Disaster

Boston, Oct. 20.-(AP)-The naval
inquiry board, assembled here to in
vestigate the ramming of the subma.
rihe S751 by the steamer City Of
Rome and the loss Of 80 Of her crew
of Block Island on September 25. ad:
journed today until October 26. when
Captain John II. Diehl, master of the
steamer. and his officers will be called
to testify. - -
Lieutenant Commander Lockwood.
the judge advocate. has attempted to
show that the submarines lights were
burning when she was rammed.
Several witnesses. including the
steamers radio operator, have testi-
fled that Captain Diehl waited almost
two hours before he sent out q mes
sage relating to the disaster. Testi-
mony showed that the navy DEPART
ment was not notified until three
hours after the submarine was sent to
the bottom.
These last two points were brought
out today when the steamers radio
log was produced by George w. Mich
OILS. Boston manager of the Radio Cor
poration of America. Corroborativs
testimony was given by Harold H.
Kelley, radio operator on the City of
Rome, and Vincent E. Wall, operator
on duty at the Boston navy yard at
the time of the disaster.
The latter testified that he intercept
ed a message sent out by Kelley which
requested tn Boston station of the
Tropical Radio Co. to cancel previous
message relating to the sinking of the
Ssh. Kelley denied sending such a
message. which does not appear on his
radio log. At a previous session Whit
comb Ourie, Tropical Company opera
tor, said he received the cancellation
message from the City Of Rome about
four hours after she rammed the sub
marine.
Boatswain Preston 7. Williamson Of
the coastguard patrol boat 200 said his
vessel passed within three-quarters Of
mile Of the submarine at $50 p. M.
on the Inflated night and he noted
that her mast and sidelights were
burning. The mast could be seen for
five miles and the sidelights were WIS.,
ible for a distance of two miles, he
said.
Michael Lira. one of the three men,
bers of the S-51's crew picked up by
the steamers lifeboat, was recalled to
the stand today. He said he did not
remember discussing the qualifications
of the submarines officers after he
was taken aboard the steamer. A pre-
vious witness had testified that Lira
had told him that IAN inexperienced
officer was on watch" when the SUBJ
marine was struck.

been having very good luck lately in
escaping notice and capture. The
liquor cargo ship cannot be held in
definitely on the row awaiting
lighterage. The cost Of crew main
tenance is heavy, and II the price has
been fixed at the time of shipment on
the other side the delays at sea de-
crease and may even wipe out the
profits. Hence, it would seem, the re-
quirement Of payment in advance, a
practice that has apparently not ap-
pealed to American buyers. with the
consequence Of a large accumulation
in the warehouses in Great Britain
and a reduction of the production.
This situation may be encouraging
to the advocates of full enforcement,
although at the same time 1t may
point to an increase in Illicit domestic
distillation. In that case, the burden
Of enforcement is shifted as regards
this source of supply from the sea to
the shores.

Sorrow in Scotland.

A Scottish traveller has just arrived
in New York announcing that the dis
tillers of Scotland will in 1926 cut
down their production at least 25 per
cent. This reduction of whisky dis
tillation is attributed to the failure OF
American consumers to cooperate
with rum runners. The distillers,
therefore, have accumulated immense
quantities of liquors in bond. The
movement Of liquors out of Scotland,
it is claimed has been greatly ham,
pcred in recent months because Amer
leans are not willing to put down ac-
tual money in London for their pur-
chases, and without this advance cash
the British distillers and brokers will
not make the sale.
This may be rated as tribute to
the efficiency of the Coast Guard cam
paign of enforcement, which undoubt-
edly has cut down the importations
of liquor by a very considerable figure.
It would seem from this Scotchman's
statement that British exporters are
not disposed to ship save on buyer's s
risk, and that American buyers are
not disposed to pay in advance for
goods they may never receive. Sew
eral syndicates Of British shippers of
contraband have come to grief be-
cause of the activity Of the enforce
ment fleet. BY no means as many
cargoes of liquor are being landed
now from rum row" as formerly.
These syndicates, it would seem, have
not been shipping at the risk Of the
American buyers, but have been TAX
ing their own chances on running the
blockade. 1t seems to have been the
rule of the trade that a delivery" is
effected when the liquor is trans
shipped from the sea carrier to small
boats by which it is sent to shore.
The small boats. however, have not

A Good Friend of the Horse.
from the New York Herald-Tribune.

From the New York Herald Tribune.
The horse lost a good friend when
Gen. Isaac r. Sherwood died recently.
The standard bred, or trotting horse,
had the warmest place in the affec-
tions of the late Representative from
Ohio, though he was fond of a good
horse of any sort, and for many years
he drove one of the best pairs to be
seen on the streets of Washington. He
could drive with rare skill, and those
with a love for nice team we'll
turned out, never failed to stop and
Sherwood and his horses as they
passed through the streets of the
Capital. Though past 80 years. he
never lost an opportunity thus to take
the air.
The horse has done much for many
men in public life in their declining
years. 1t undoubtedly prolonged the
life of Gen. Sherwood. 1t has kept
Z. T. Bedford, who recently drove a
trotter in 2:0SK to a road cart over
his half mile track at Greens Farms,
Conn, as youthful as a man Of half
his 76 years. It has maintained the
mental and bodily vigor of j. A. P.
Ramsdell of Newburg, this State,
who, though "a years Of age, recently
rode q saddle horse at an autumnal
horse show and won a blue in a con-
spicuous class.

indeed, an obstacle to the passage Of
this bill in the feeling that 1t should
not be drawn upon pork barrel lines.
so familiar in past legislation Of this
character.
The Governments building needs are
not, of course, confined to Washington.
New structures for public service are
required all over the country. But
here at the Capital, where the Federal
work is concentrated, the need Is para
mount. 1t is imperative that the de-
partmental service be relieved from
the congestion that now affects it in
every branch. 1t is also imperative
that in practice Of the principles Of
economy the extravaganza OF high
rents for inadequate quarters be aban-
doned through the construction of
Government-owned buildings Of proper
design and placement. The building
program Of the Government, In short,
should begin here, however far 1t may
extend at the present beyond Wash

every member Of Congress recognizes

Gov. Pinchot and the Strike.

| AS the anthracite strike today en-
| ters its eleventh week, Gov. Pinchot
| Of PENNSYLVANIA has asked the repre-
miners to meet with him separately,
presumably to seek a resumption or
negotiations whereby an agreement
| may be reached to mine coal again.
In this connection, it may be recalled
| that the operators from the first of the
present controversy have offered to
submit the questions at issue TO arbi-
tration. The miners, on the other
| hand, have steadfastly refused to
| do so.
1t is highly proper and desirable
that the Governor Of Pennsylvania
should move in this matter. The an
thracite region lies entirely within
that State Miners. owners and opera
| tors, tradesmen, employees Of the coal
CARRYING roads should have had
enough of the suspension of mining
operations by this time. AS a matter
Of fact. it appears that for once in a
coal strike the persons intimately en-
gagged are likely to suffer more than
the general public. The people in the
anthracite consuming sections of the
country. a comparatively narrow strip
along the Atlantic coast reaching
from Maine to Virginia, are making
the best of things. adopting coke, Oil
and bituminous coal as substitutes.
The use Of substitutes comes with a
wrench. Substitute fuel Is hardship
in n measure to people who have
grown accustomed to hard coal And
the follv Of locking fast in the earth
a fuel as convenient as anthracite
because the operators and miners can
not or are unwilling to reach an
agreement on wages and working con-
ditions is apparent.
The quiet way in which the general
nublic has taken the coal strike up to
date may have disheartening erect
on the contestants, who have looked
forward to a demand by the people
that something be done to settle the
strike. 1t may have its influence on
bringing them to an agreement now.
Gov. Pinchot two years ago brought
about the parleys which led to a set
Element of the anthracite strike Oh
that date 1t will be recalled that TINS
agreement provided for an increase OF
10 ner cent in the wages Of the miners.
The miners perhaps have hopes that
again his Intervention Will mean
benefit to their poCketbooks. An IN
definite continuance of the strike
would mean losses in the end to both
operators and miners. For word is
brought here from New England and
other places where anthracite has been
consumed in quantities heretofore that
the people are taking to the substi-
tutes. and that part Of the anthracite
market may be lost forever.
