Structive organizations"
"A union seeking dominance in q

repeated elections until it succeeded
in prevailing" he said. Sympathetic

be required to open his plant, records
and papers to any agent Of the board,

today asserted it was the first Navy
flying boat casualty In at least 10
years.
At the same time they disclosed
that seaplaneS of the 6P7 type usually
carried a crew Of only five men. They
said they did not know why six were
aboard the ship when it crashed.
Secrecy Lifted by Tragedy.
The accident marked the second
time since the war games started
three weeks ago that the Navy par

that has guarded the maneuvers to
report tragedy.

Secretary of the Navy, Is now with
the fleet, awaiting what is expected
to be the most spectacular phase
Of the war games. Admiral William
H. Standley, chief Of operations, will
sail shortly from San Diego.
Officials estimated the cost Of the
maneuvers, over and above routine
operations expenses, at $195, 900, the
price Of 250,000 extra barrels of fuel

ABOARD BATTLESHIP PENN
SYLVANIA, With United States
Fleet in Mid-Pacific Maneuvers,
May 23.-Amazing strategical op-
erations of the United States Fleet
In its 1885 war games were topped
by Vice Admiral Harris Lanjng's bril-
liant maneuvering of his White Fleet.
Over q circuitous 1,400-mile route
he led his powerful high seas battle
fleet from Pearl Harbor to forlorn
Midway Island, shaking of submarines
and shrewdly avoiding day and night
bombing patrols.
By thus escaping the vigilant air
and underwater eyes of Rear Admiral
Arthur J. Hepburn's Black Fleet he
kept the position Of his own forces
secret until he was under the lee of
Midway Island, his objective.
Rear Admiral H. E. Lackey, COM
manding the cruiser division, made
a sensational night raid over Midway
with IL seaplanes catapulted from
cruisers. Under cover of darkness
they took the giant air bombers of
the enemy" by surprise. Bombing
the anchored air feet, they theoreti-
cally destroyed IL bombers.

the ensuing dawn.
The giant patrol bombers did spec
tacular night flying in pitch darkness
as the two fleets neared each other on
the eve before the main battle, but
the fatal plunge OF one of these IA
patrol ships took much color from
what promised to be the most spec
tacular feature in the main battle
when Commander in Chief Joseph M.
Reeves ordered all planes out Of bat
tie lines to search for the lost flying
boat.
After the disaster the White Fleet
turned on all searchlghts to aid In
the hunt. This disclosed Its position
to the Black Fleet and the succeeding

Twenty coast defense S-type sub

feats. These small submarines not
only delivered telling torpedo attacks
on the White Fleet emerging from
Pearl Harbor, but cruised 1900
nautical miles to Midway, torpedoing

formati ton Of the fleet at 7 pm. An
hour and IL minutes later the 6-P-10
lost the power of one engine and was
forced to land on the big ocean swells.
Then the 6-P-7 left the squadron
and started circling over her disabled
sistership, sending radio signals so
nearby ships could use her calls as
direction finder and proceed to the
aid of the disabled craft.
Crashed With Terrific Force.
For 48 minutes the 6-P-7 circled
around, having notified the destroyer
Breese and the cruiser Raleigh that
the 6-P-l0 was down and leaking.
Apparently while cruising the 6-P-7
cut down her speed and had to fly
close to the oceans surface as the.
night darkened
Apparently it suddenly went into q
spin and dove into the ocean with q
terrific crash as evidenced by the shat
tered wreckage found later.
It's last message was sent at pm,
indicating she crashed into the ocean
a short time later.
The Breese and the Raleigh reached
the scene at 1890 pm and took the
6-P-l0 in tow. They had no fears
about her sistercrsft, assuming she
had returned to her Midway base.
A short time later it was learned
the 6-P-7 was missing and the search
by surface craft of both the Black
and White Fleets was Immediately
ordered as the war games were tenn
porarily forgotten.
Searchlights Stab Night.
The White Fleet. en- route through
the area, gave up its cover of darkened
ships and secrecy which had been the
practice throughout the six weeks
maneuvers, and stabbed the night with
the glaring beams of sesrchlights.
Aircraft were ordered by Admiral
Joseph M. Reese, commander in chief
of the United States fleet and umpire
of the war games, to take up the
search at dawn.
Officers said the wreckage clearly
indicated the entire crew died with
out knowing they crashed.
Monday similar tragedy was mar
rowly averted when another giant
patrol sank. The craft became dis
abled 80 miles north of Midway
Island, western landmark of the
naval maneuvers, but succeeded in
coming down safely near her tender,
the minelayer Montgomery. The
nlinelayer rescued the crew Of six just
before the plane sank.
Battle Lacks Thrills.
The crucial battle of the maneuvers
between the Black and White fleets
vas fought at dawn Wednesday, a
few miles off Midway. Throughout
the night destroyers carried out dev-
astating torpedo attacks. but the
main engagement. although 1t was
the first to start at dawn in the his
tory of the maneuvers, lacked the
greatest spectacular thrills and the
much anticipated power Of the air
craft. which did not participate
After the battle and the fruitless
search for the doomed airmen, the
feet turned toward Hawaii, where 1t
will arrive Saturday and Sunday.
Forty patrol planes begin the re-
turn flight from Midway to Hawaii

Frigate Shoals.

battle starting before dawn was with.
out the benefit of airpower or sur
prise.
Gunnery functions were weakened
due to the lack Of aircraft spotting.
Admiral Hepburn strategically re-
treated as Lanings feet approached
midway and dawn found Hepburn
with a tactical advantage, the White
Fleet lined against the sunrise.
The battle was waged nearly two
hours. when Reeves finally called 1t
of without disclosing any decision.

 o'clock at night. The package stores cannot sell in containers less than 26 ounces and must close at 2 o'clock in the evening.
 The injunction against the liquor control board was obtained last year by counsel for the package store owners. It restrained the liquor board from forcing the package stores to close until the matter had been threshed out in the upper courts. The final decision went against the package store owners but in the meantime most of them, including many Water- burians, continued to sell in con- tainers less than 26 ounces d during hours beyond the o'clock deadline.
 The liquor control board, when upheld by the state courts, threat ened reprisals that have not yet occurred. The introduction of the bill preventing calling in of licenses of package store owners will put the matter to rest forever if passed. There is every indication that all concerned desire to have the ques- ton decided favorably for the store owners, hence a favorable action on the part of the legisla- ture is anticipated.
 As for the proposed amendment giving the package stores the same latitude of drug stores, the bill IS expected to be held up until the new liquor control act Is decided upon.
 Yesterday representatives of 50 clubs in Connecticut met in Tur- nerbund hall on Park street. Hart ford, and decided to offer several measures to the 1885 legislature, one of which will provide for the sale of liquor, in addition to beer and wine, in clubs. Attorney Albert Hummel of this city is counsel for the Federated Clubs of Connecticut which is sponsoring the proposed legislation.
 The clubs will also ask for the elimination of the dining room and restaurant features of the control act; for permission to take out permits in the name of a club rather than in the name of an in- dividual; and for authority to re- port new memberships annually rather than once q week. A o u 150 clubs are members of the fed- eration. Next Sunday the legisla- tive committee of the organization will meet in Hartford. Attorney Hummel will be present.
