Million Is at Stake

Now Haven. July s LPl -- The Underwater case has been long pending in the federal Jurisdiction of Connecticut and it has been es- timated that a million dollars worth Of liquors and twelve vessels await disposition under ruling of the federal circuit court of appeals or higher court.
 Tug Underwater was seized 3i miles off Block Island in December, 1924. and taken into New London where q libel was placed on the craft because the cargo included S11 cases of whskey. The coast guard cutter Cassin made the seiE- ure, and the master Of the vessel, John J. O'Brien, and 13 members of the crew were released.
 Counsel for the owner flied ex- captions to the libel. claiming that the seizure was on the high seas and without warrant of law. IL was asserted that there was nothing to substantiate a claim that the vessel was in liquor smuggling traffic, and no facts were alleged that the yes sel was in other than coastal trade, There were several other exceptions hinged upon the fact that the ves- sel was at sea and beyond the al- legged jurisdiction Of those who had enforcement Of the national prohi- bitlon act.
 Judge F. g, Thomas ruled in De- comher that the coast guard had no legal right to seize the Underwater because it was outside the 12 mile limit. He dismissed the libel pro- cecdings and the United States at- torncy's office at once appealed to the circuit court.

 Craft, Which Cost Two and Half Million, Can Be
 Done for About $2OO,OOO.

New York, July 8 Divers who entered the battered hulk of the U. s. submarine S-51 to- day reported that there were about twelve bodies inside the ship. One body was seen wedg- ed behind machinery in the en- zine room and others were re- ported in the torpedo room.
 13 May Be Lost
 If the divers estimate is cor rect it means that the bodies of Is sailors washed from the hulk by the waves while it lay on the ocean bed off Block Island after being sunk by the steamer City of Rome last Sep tenber, and will probably never be recovered.
 When the collision occurred, there were 36 men on the S-51. Three were saved and eight bodies were recovered. It had been hoped that the remaining p bodies had stayed in the submarine and could be re- claimed by the bereaved fam flies.

Five Allegations

The libel was based upon five al- legged causes. First that liquor was being transported aboard the Under writer, second that a quantity of in toXicants was found on the vessel, third. alleged illegal transportation of intoXicants, fourth, that the Un- derwritor was engaged for another trade than that for which she was licensed. and fifth. that she was en- gagged at making foreign voyage without giving up her enrolment and license as 9 CoastWise vessel.
 As the fourth and fifth causes the appellate court holds that the libel sets forth the sufficient cause of action. As to the first, second and third the finding of the Con- necticut court is sustained, the law permitting libeling of ocean vessels beng limited 10 certain specific acts and the underwater having been seized beyond the Emile limit and there being no evidence apparently that she violated the prohibition law within those limits.
 United States Attorney Buckley, of the District Of Connecticut, ap- peared before the court for the gov ernnent, and Louis Halle for the owners of the Underwater. whose names do not appear in the title of the case nor in the courts opinion

S209.000 For Repairs

! at an estimated cost of s200,000, Commander Ellsberg said. The sub mersible was built at cost of s2,- |50O,000. Replacement cost would be $S,oO0,00O
 { "The navy was not guided solely | by sentimental reasons in the rais- ling of the S-51, he said We could have brought up whatever bodies are inside her while she was on the bottom. But to do that We would have been forced to cut open the sides of the vessel. That we did not wish to do."
 The brass bell of the S-51 was ex- hibited by Commander Ellsberg. He said 1t was brought to the surface more than a month ago. It will be presented to the helium division of the United States bureau of mines at Pittsburgh in recognition of the work done by divers from the bureau of mines.
 Lifted by Derricks
 The hulk was floated and lifted to dry dock by derricks, which rectitied a starboard list, and the force of the morning tide. As the crippled vessel moved over the sill and into the main keel blocks she presented a strange sight. The bat tered bridge was still covered with stringly- y-seaweed and to parts of the
 hulk clung the tenacious dark green
 moss that sailors call ''Neptune's
 beard" but parts of her hulk were
 a glinting red, gleaming brightly in the morning sun. Officers said the
 sea had worn away the navy gray paint. The draft line, painted black could be seen quite plainly. } As she moved further up the } ways, a great hole just abaft the } coming tower became visible. This is a curiously shaped entrance to the battery room, made by the iron brow if the City of Rome which pierced the steel plates. Most of the crew slept in the battery room
 and it is there they were supposed to have been when the s-51 plunged ] to the bottom.

Entrance Through Matches

Announcement also was made by It. Commander Edward Ellsbers, who directed the engineering part iof the salvage of the SUI, that it would not be necessary to enter the steel hulk by use of acetylene torch les, We were inside the S-51 while she was at the bottom of the At iantic," he said. We went in through the hatches. We can enter through the hatches in dry dock much more easily"
 Hunt or Bodies Tomorrow
