Inc naval board presided over
by Capt. c. W. Magruder will at
tempt to learn why a breech block
gave way during maneuvers 60
miles off the coast of southern
California, killing two men and
seriously injuring nine others.
Those killed were:
Leo Steve Morande, second class
seaman from Eureka, Ca, and
Percy William Cofer, boatswains
mate of Washington, Ga.
The six-inch gun in the turret
OF the port bow had been fired
by it's crew when suddenly the
breech block burst into fragments,
sending the metal pieces among the
Seamen.
Not Noticed
The explosion was not noticed
by officers on deck for several min
utes due to the fact that the shot
from the gun left the muzzle and
struck near the target even though
the breach gave way.
The groanS and cries Of the
wounded were not heard above the
roar of other guns being fired in
the practice session.
Capt. C. w. Crosse reported that
one of his officers suddenly not
iced that smoke was curling from
the steel turret.
In his report to the 18th naval
district, Capt. Crosse said:
There was no evidence of what
might have caused the disaster.
"At 1:57 p. m. the port bow

everal minutes later a report
reached me that there was a fire
in this citadel. A crew of men
began pouring water into it until

Free Use of Gas
Announced for Ell
AZ Centre Consumers

Free Gas" for all domestic con
sumers in this community during
the months of August and Septem
ber has just been announced by r.
L. Nance, representative OF the
Natural Gas Corporation of Cali
fornia in Ell Centro.
During the free gas" period,
domestic consumers will be given
an opportunity to use all the gas
they wish, either through the in
stallation of additional appliances,
or through more complete use OF
those already in the home, all with
no additional cost for fuel over
that for the month of July. This
free gas" period lasts from the
time meters are read in July until
they are read in September.
In commenting on this offer,
Nance stated: I'VE feel there are
many consumers here who do not
appreciate the low operating costs
CT automatic gas heaters and gas
refrigeration, or who do not make
complete use of those appliances
which they now have This free
gas offer gives them an opportun-
ity to see for themselves, at no ad-
ditional cost for fuel, exactly how
much gas is necessary to enjoy the
comfort and convenience of these
appliances in their own home, und-
er actual operating conditions. We
know they will be pleasantly sur
prised at the low cost for this ad-
ditional amount of fuel, at our reg
ular rates, when a comparison Is
made.
IF, for any reason, consumption
should be less in August or Sept
ember than it was in July, the con-
sumer will be billed only for the
amount actually used. The only
qualifications to take advantage Of
this offer are that it is open to
domestic consumers only, and these
consumers must have received ser
vice at the same location for a
full month prior to the time the
meter was read in July.
New appliances may be pur
chased from your dealer or this
company. Many special offers are
being made, and we are confident
that free gas in this community
will prove as popular with our con-
sumers as it has in other areas
where it has been previously used
I'VE are very happy to have an
opportunity to extend this saving
to our consumers, and hope each
and every one will take full ad-
vantage of it."

no more smoke came out, after
which We opened it, found one
man dead and several others in
jured. About 10 other seamen
and officers were near exhaustion
from the dense smoke.
Evidently something gave way
near the breech, throwing the ter
rifle pressure against the breech
block which smashed against the
Seamen.'
Morande was reported to have
been killed instantly while C0fer
died a few minutes later Both
men were badly mangled by the
force of the blast.
Wounded Treated
The Marblehead Immediately
steamed under forced draft for
port while ship surgeons began
treating the wounded.
The accident occurred off San
Clemente Island, regular practice
area for the battleship. 1t was in
this same area that 48 men died
in a flaming turret on the S. S.
Mississippi on June II, 1924.
When the Marblehead reached
here, ambulances were awaiting ii
at the fleet quarantine station and
the injured quickly were removed
to the naval hospital.
The injured were:
William A. Bradley, "a, Trenton,
Ark; Robert w. Opie, "a Philadei-
phia; Edison L. Flower, 81, Colora-
do Springs, Colo; John w. Over

a popular enthusiasm bestowed

SOUTHEAST'S PLANE WRECKS.
BUSINESS in GIVE EUROPE.
UPWARD TREND new TENSION.
Mill Operations Increase
Some; Building Near
Boom Time" Levels
MOST OF AREA MISSES
WORST OF DROUTH

ATLANTA, July 81. (UP).-
Business is on the upgrade in six
southeastern states, the Federal
Reserve bank reported today.
Increased operations in textiles,
a gain in building, and increased
retail sales were reported.
A generally optimistic picture
of conditions was reported, with
building permits climbing to levels
near those of the "boom" days
prior to depression years.
"The value of building permits
issued at 20 cities in the sixth dis
trict during June was 17.5 per
cent larger than the total for
NJ va, the'rdlnun shrdln un unnn
May" the report said in survey
ing conditions in Alabama, Ten
nessee, Georgia, Florida, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana.
"For the first half of 1886, the
value of permits issued at these
20 cities was 500, 426,945, an in
crease of 71.9 per cent over that
period year ago and 1916 per
cent larger than two years ago"
Construction and building con-
tracts awarded jumped from $12,-
7O4,942 in June, 1885, 20 $751;
S86,511 in June of this year, the
report said.
The reserve board saw in
creased operations in textile mills,
substantial gains in life insurance
activities and noted that retail
sales were 23 per cent greater this
June than in the same 1885 period
and wholesale trade was rs per
cent up for the same period.
Weekly payrolls held firm
throughout the district although
employment totals slumped slight
ly, rejecting the closing of many
Florida hotel for the summer sea-
son.
Activity in cotton mills in
creased slightly while pig iron
production in Alabama fell off.
The survey revealed that most
sections of the agricultural south
east escaped heavy damage from
drouth. Area of cotton in cultlva-
ton was 60 per cent greater this
year than last and cash receipts
for sale of principal farm prod
ucts, including livestock, were
larger during the first six months
of this year than in the CORE
spending period of 1885.
The corn crop in the six-state
district was 20.1 per cent less
than the 1885 total but produc-
ton of oats was estimated above
last years levels. Hay production
will average only about 20 per
cent of the 1885 index as result
of curtailed planting schedules,
the report stated.
