! the explosion occurred off San
Clemente island, more than 25 miles
at sea.
While a dozen gunners In the am
munition room heroically turned
water from emergency cocks on to a
mass of unexploded powder near the
flames which followed the explosion,
the Mississippi was able to turn about
and make harbor under its own

As it neared the harbor a second
explosion shook surrounding build

Sargent, Neb., June 13.—Claude
N. Sullivan, 21, seamon first class,
lulled in tile Mississippi explosion,
was graduated from the Sargent
High school in 1921, and attended
Nebraska university for one year.
He was active in athletics.
Ho enlisted in the navy at Lin
coln, March 15, 1923. Telegram
announcing his death was received
here today by Iiis parents, Mr. and
Mrs. E. M. Sullivan. Ho also is
survived by a twin brother, Clyde,
and two sisters, Jennie and Mrs.
Ida Yose. His father is manager
of tile P'armers' Union Livestock
company.

caused by the fire of another gun, in
which a projectile had been placed
before the first blast. The shell
hurtled past the out-going steamship
Yale, crowded with passengers and
missed the vessel by only a few
yards. The unexploded projectile, a
menace to navigation, had not been
recovered today.
Eye-witnesses of the sea tragedy
told a harrowing story of the fearful
explosion.
88 Men in Turret.
In the gun turret proper, where
the blast occurred, there were 88
men, most of them engaged in ram
ming home the huge shells, which
were followed Into the gun by great
sacks of smokeless powder, as pre
parations were made for a broadside.
"Let it go,” was the shout of the
gunner in command.
There was a hitch.
A maelstrom of Iron, steel, powder,
fire and smoke entrapped the gun
ners.
Many of the men were blown to
bits. Others were fearfully maimed
and died before rescuers reached
them.
!* Ensigri H. D. Smith was the first
to reach the flaming turret. He was
driven back time after time, but fi
nally succeeded in bringing a hose to
the debris.
• Resuers then began hrlnging out
the bodies of their comrades.
Fly Distress Signals.
"Every hole and cranny In the
.turret belched hot fire and poison
gas.” said one of the rescued men.
“While the other ships continued to
fire their salvos, the stricken boat
~7
hastily displayed distress signals
Even we men on the decks did not
know what had happened at first.
The impact of the explosion was
terrible and then we saw the dam
aged turret, half hidden in crimson
black clouds of smoke and fire. The
scenes that followed were awful. It
was a panic as the pitiful cries of
the dying reached us. The officers
took charge swiftly and ordered us to
fight the fire and assist in bringing
out the Injured and bodies."
Many of the injured, it was learned
today, are severely burned and their
chances for recovery are slight. Be
cause the gunners w-ere partly un
clad, the burning powder found their
bodies quickly nnd seared them as
they clambered out of the death pit.
Among those saved is Ensign J. J.
Levisour. He leaped from the shell
deck and escaped with his life. He
was badly bruised in his dive out of
the mass of flames and smoke, but
none of his injuries is believed seri
ous.
An Immediate investigation of the
accident will be ordered, it was Mid.
Vice Admiral Wiley, commanding
the battleship division, was to issue
an official statement regarding the
tragedy today.
Washington, June 13.—President
Coolidge, as commander-in-chief, to
day ordered the Navy department to
conduct a rigid and exhaustive in
vestigation to fix responsibility for
the terrific explosion yesterday
aboard the battleship Mississippi,
which cost the lives of three officers
and 45 enlisted men and resulted in
serious Injuries to many others.
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, who
was at Cleveland, is rushing back to
Washington to take personal charge
of the investigation and to summon a
special board of officers to convene at
Los Angeles to pursue the inquiry.
Burglar s Widow
Faints in Court
Fox Bond $1,500; Women’s
$1,000 Each; Plead
Not Guilty.
As Deputy County Attorney Dan
Gross recommended a $1,000 appear
ance bond, Mrs. Agnes Mansi, wife of
Genaro -Mansi, slain burglar, crum
pled in a faint in municipal court Fri
day morning. She was saved from
falling by Matron Gibbons and Ser
geant Tom Farmer, who revived her.
In the excitement that followed,
Joe Fox, alleged accomplice of Mansi,
might have escaped. But he stood In
a corner of the courtroom, shaking
his head sadly.
Fox, his wife, Edith, and Mrs.
Agnes Mansi all pleaded not guilty to
conspiracy to break and enter in
court Friday morning and were
bound over to district court for trial
when they waived preliminary hear
ing.
Fox's bond was set at $1,500; his
wife's at $1,000.
Mrs. Mansi shed the first tears
since her husband’s death Thursday
night, when an unidentified sympa
thizer sent her a large hunch of
peonies.

onstrated a lack of capacity and
practical political generalship which
unfitted him for the vital post of
campaign generalissimd, hut this sen
timent had not crystallized today.
Moreover, It was pointed out by But
ler's friends that the candidate al
ways has been allowed to choose the
chairman, and President Coolidge had
plrljed Butler; therefore, to attack
him was to slap the party's standard!
hearer in the face.

After his formal election. Butler
mounted the rostrum and made a 10
minute speech which instantly re
vealed to the committee he was de
termined to "run the whole show."
He said ever since the president had
announced he wanted him to be chair
man he had been thinking over the
situation and had made up his tnlnd
to name the officials of the commit
tee, instead of having them selected
by motions from the floor, lie gave
the names of the men and women he
had selected, and a motion immediate
ly was made and adopted to make
these persons the officials of the com
mittee The Butler slate Included:
First vice chairman, f'harles

the Alaskan case was referred to the

"It Is one of the biggest losses t o .
ever experienced." said fJermer
was recalled that the robbery of the
I'nlon state here several years ago
netted bandits $1,500,000.
A stolen automobile, identified »«
one of those used by tbs bandits, w o
found In Chicago today. It* owner
said it had been taken from a repair
shop where he sent It yesterday.
Gtrmer, commenting on the nice'
with which the robbery was carried
out, pointed out that only three of
the 11 cars In the train were entered
The Other eight, evidently known to
carry no registered pouches, were left
alone.
"These men knew exactly what to
take and what to leave alone," Her
mer said. "The robbers very evident
ly knew just what waa valuable in
the train and what cars carried the
more than a million-dollar eurgo."
That, lie said, was sufficient to In
dicate to him an inside job.
ln»pe< tor William Faby expressed
belief that the same men who en
gineered the theft of $150,000 at Har
vey, Ili., from a train and later ob
tained $100,000 at Indiana Harbor,
Ind., are responsible for the latest
crime. Both Germer and Fahy ex
pressed fear of further robberies.
