NEW YORK, September 26.-The
Brooklyn Eagle today tells how the
short -sightedness of the "higher-ups"
of a huge New York bootlegging ring
in failing to provide for the needy
wife of one of their rum-running
captains led to the smashing of the
ring and the arrest of it's leaders.
The woman, says the story, made
possible the raid last Wednesday on
it's Offices in the Times Square dis
trict.
Her primary object was to get her
husband out of the rumrunning busi-
ness.
She won the praise of Mrs. Mabel
Willebrandt, Assistant United States
Attorney General in charge of liquor
prosecutions in Washington, and an
appointment as special oh1cer on the
prohibition forces.

NAVY WILL PROBE
SUBMARINE CRASH
Wilbur Denies Criticism of
Ships Master in Absence
of Full Report. :.

Questions concerning the cause and
responsibility for the sinking of the
submarine S-51 off Block Island were
passed over by the Navy Department
Yesterday while all efforts We're bent
toward rescuing any who might be
alive on the craft There was evil
dent, however, a determination to
probe thoroughly into all aspects of
the disaster.
Secretary Wilbur, although he made
clear that he was not criticizinS In the
absence of definite information, said
only most unusual circumstances
would have warranted the City Of
Rome, which struck the submarine, in
craft arrived.
High officers at the same time indi-
Gated a belief that the submarine had
not been given the right of way to
which she was entitled by her position
under the laws of the sea. and may
have in effect been run down.
Probe Will Be Made.
A board of inquiry will be appointed
to go into all questions in an effort
to determine the reason for the dis
aster. but pending determination of
the fate of the missing any step in
this direction Is being withheld.
Anxiously and sorrowfully the de-
partment received dispatches from
the scene last night and pieced to-
gether the story Of the tragedy In
brief visit to the White House Mr..
Wilbur acquainted President Coolidge
with the situation.
What consolation possible was taken
from the fact that the American Navy
has been more free of such disasters
than those Of other powers, it's only
serious accident from the standpoint
of heavy loss of life heretofore being
that of the sinking of the submarine
F-4 off Honolulu in 1915 with the loss
of 26 officers and men. In. subSe-
ouent years there have been eight sub
marine accidents, but none with great
loss Of life Foreign navies In the
same period have experienced II fatal
submarine accidents, several with
great loss Of life.
Hone Still Held Out.
The Navy is proceeding on the the
orv that many of the "a officers and
men unaccounted for on the S-51 are
alive and are within the craft 120 feet
below the surface. When word was
received. however, that diver had
been below and had been unable to
communicate with any one IN the IN

was rather discouraging. 1t was
