INCH GIYfiS MISE TO ALL "A Jo Cowards Among Officers or Crew, ' Says Volturno's Matter, DENIES frSE OF REVOLVERS Before Cnptnln Climbs Dorrn Itn Com Orer Ship to See If Any Left Allre, but rind Onlr III Dor. jNEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Krancla Inch, the boyish-looking Briton, who com rnindel the burned steamer Voltumo came to port tonight bringing- with him eighty-seven survivors, passengers and crew, of his Ill-fated vessel. Ills storr of the disaster. In which 135 Uvea were lost, had preceded htm by wireless, but In a cabin of the Kroonland which bi ought him here. Inch told his tale in simply phrased and modestly spoken de tail that described mora vividly then the wireless could picture the panorama of the Volturno's loss and the rescue of moro than SCO of those It had on board. Cowardice there was none, on the Vol tumo, either among officers or crew. Inch said. There was no rush of seamen which made It necessary for him to warn hero back with his revolver. His volver was in a drawer in his cabin and it burned with tha ship. And no one on board drew a revolver. These statements he intended should refute the stories told by steerage .passengers who arrived yes terday on the . Grosser KurfuersL 1'rnUr for All. The Volturno's master besides defend ing his own officers and men said he had no criticism to make of tho tactic of any of the boats that stood by. . "Tho Car mania did Its best, tho samo as the others," ho suld. "Thero Is nothing but praise for everyone. I did not expeot a boat could live in those seas when the Carmanla and the other first, few ships I'ame 'up." Tho Carman! did drop a boat. Inch de clared, but it could not get near for the Volturno drifted faster than the crw could row. Tater the Carmanla sent off a life raft, but it drifted across the Vol turno's bow and disappeared. More than that, the Carmnnla could not do, said Inch. Eighteen cabin and' two Bteerage pas sengers entered the first lifeboat that ventured to leave tho Volturno. Only enough, of the crew stepped In to man It, said Inch; they did not rush to it and it was not crowded, Entangling Itself in its after tackle. It capsized. All In it were drowned except Chief Officer Miller and a steward, who climbed into It a(ter " had righted and were rescued. Into the next boat went thirty passengers and ten sailors. This boat got away fell right but lias not been heard from. The third boat took, off forty, ten of them Bailors. As It settled Into tho water ten more Jumped aboard from the Volturno's deck. A, wave swept It under the Volturno's stern. "It Just sat on it and crushed It 'out of sight," said Inch. "The bos'n lived and woo tho only one to escape." Three Explosions. Inch denied reports of. rotting tackle arid fire hose and ot unsafe Hfoboots, saying all- of. these articles were In good condition, He counted .oqly three ex. plosions, 'the last one wrecking wheel and co'mpass so that a hondgeor had to be rigged up. Inch denied stories ot steerage ,pasen gers thai people were swepl overboard and babies were trampled on while being rescued by the Grosser Kurfuerst's first boat that came in response to Lloyd's trrand. Officers urged men and women to Jump overboard, for the lifeboat could not get near enough for them to be low ered into it None dared to Jump. "Show them how to Jump," Inch told his crew. Two at a Umo they leaped over the rail. When passengers saw them reach the lifeboat they followed them into the. sea. With boat hooks and oars some were rescued. Others went to their deaths. No women were removed in this way. ''Before I climbed down I went over the ship to see it any one remained," Inch said. "The fire had eaten Its way beyond amidships under the decks. I found no one alive, though there were bodied in the forecastle, men who had been cut off and burned to death; I went to the r&jl with my dog, wrapping it in a blanket. I leaned over, 'here,' I said, 'catch my baby,' I dropped the dog into the arms of a Kroonland officer in the lifeboat. He opened the blanket tenderly. 'Why, It's a dog,' he said. "I thought it was your kid. " Smoked All the Time. Inch's three "kids" and their mother are in London. One of his first acts upon arriving here was to send them a cablegram. Their father went thirty-six hours without eating or drinking, refus ing to leave the work of fire-fighting. "I smoked, smoked about all the time, cigars, pipes, cigarettes, anything I could get." Inch said, A blast of heat blinded his eyes with pain, and the skin peeled from his face when he received his first medical attention after being rescued. Theyv had to drop 'cocaine, into his eyes oeiore ne couia-see again. Among' tho survivods on the Kroonland were three children, the whereabouts of heir parents unknown.

About a dozen aviators were circling the aero drome at the -time In aeroplanos. Center Motor axplodes First. Everything was apparently tn rood or der on the airship. It was gradually getting up speed when suddenly an ex plosion waa heard by those on the eround. evidenUy In one ot the motors In the center gondola, X flash shot out and the next Instant the whole ship was afire and plunging downward. Every Inch ot the canvas covering and the balloonets disappeared In a moment. A second and more violent explosion was then heard, fire having reached the gasoline tanks filled with about a ton ot liquid fuel. Before the reports of the ex plosion had died down the wreck ot the most modern of Germany's dirigibles lay a flaming mass on tho ground. The fire departments of all the neigh boring suburbs, with detachments of the balloon corps, the Pioneer and other troops were soon on the spot, but there was nothing left to save. The balloon lay In a great curve like a letter B, a mass ot glowing wires and tangled girders. The cylinders of the motors in the center gondola and one of the after propellers could be distinguished. ptherwlae there was nothing to Indicate tho debris waa that of Germany's proud- est airship. Pioneers armed with axe hacked at the wreckage for two hours before they ex. trlcated the last ot the bodies. The dead were borne on stretchers to the balloon hall and a company of soldiers roped off the place to keep back the crowd. Six Ilodlea Blown from Gondola. The six Inmates ot the center gondola had been blown through the sides of tho car by the first explosion and their bodies fell a quarter of a mile away from the wreck of the balloon, which was traveling at forty miles an hour when the accident happened. All the others except two were appar ency killed by the exposlon ot gaao. Itn tank and were dead before the wreck- age reached the earth. The commander and members of the ad mlralty trial board were seated In the officers gondola. After the fire broke out they wero caged Inside a network ot redhot girders. Two of the crew were still alive when rescuers reached the wreckage. One of them, however, died before he was ex tricated. The other. Lieutenant Baron von BleuL was desperately Injured. Both tils' eyes were burned out. lie urged the rescuers to kill him. Besides the officers already mentioned Lieutenant Trenk, who was second In command; Chief Engineer Haussmann and three engineer secretaries from the admiralty board were killed. Tho pilot. Captain Glund, was the only civilian on board the airship. lie waa the commander of the "Zeppelin balloon which landed in France In April this year The rest of those on board, were officers of the Oerman navy The engineers of the Zeppelin company had expressed their confidence when the LI I waa completed It would be able to cross the Atlantic The Zeppelin airships have been singu larly unfortunate over since their In vention by the aged soldier-count.

On the occasion, of the last accident. on September 9, the German emperor was said to have wept on hearing the news. He had been In command of the naval maneuvers daring the day and the dirigible LI, pride of the German navy, had been engaged In reconnaissance work. In the evening it was blown away to sea by a violent gale. When It struck the water It broke In half and sank. TlinBIS ABMV OFFICEIIS KILLUO Accidents Also Happen to German Military Aeroplanes. BERLIN, Oct lT.-Not only the Ger man navy, but the army as well suf fered from aviation accidents. Threo army officers belonging to the flying corps were killed this morning in an aeroplane accident. , Captain Ilaeseler, Lieutenant Koch and Sergeant Manre, all of the German army aviation corps, were the victims of the fatal aeroplane accidents, which occurred early this morning. Captain Haeecler, accompanied by Lieutenant Von Freyberg. and Lieutenant, Koch, accompanied' by Sergeant Manre, left Berlin last nlsht.wlth instructions to fly to polnta In Slsclla and Bavaria, re spectively, to deliver military messages. The motor of Captain Haeseler'a aero plane broke down when the aviators wero tit the vicinity of Breslau. Captain Ilaeseler endeavored to make an emer Kency landing In the darkness. The aero plane settled in a tree top and Captain Ilaeseler was pinned In beneath the motor with an arm and both legs broken. His companion, Lieutenant Frwrberg, wss not Injured. He climbed down and secured help, but after endeavoring for several hours, with assistance, to extricate his companion, the gasoline tank of the aero plane exploded and Captain Ilaeseler waa burned to death. Lieutenant Koch and Sergeant "Manre fell with their aeroplane near Wuera burg. Both were Instantly killed. gram of currency and other legislative reforms- Those who know President Wilson's at titude best say ho realises the value ot a show of force In the situation, but Is unwilling to glv his consent to any demonstration except with the intention ot backing It up with actual use of force if events call for It. Means for dealing with the tangle through peaceful meas ures, however, have by no means been exhausted and the likelihood Is that be fore any military or naval demonstrations aro considered seriously, support may bo thrown toward the constitutionalists with tha view ot sweeping the Huerta regime from power. The Washington government would wel come the elimination of Huerta, and If this can be accomplished by lifting the embargo on arms, or giving the constti nationalists, the moral support of this country, many officials favor such policy.

Two American cltlsens and one Mexican were killed on Tuesday as the result ot a feud at Hostotlpaqulllo, a mining camp In tha state of Jalisco, about eighty miles to the northwest of thla city. Twenty-five foreigners there were threatened'wlth ex termination. The dead American are Thomas Barrett, a mine manager, and. William Kendall, a mine employe. News ot the killing reached the city early today, Barrett Was murdarcd with an. axe by the Mexican, who was captured by Ken dall and turned over to the rural guards. While the guards wero escorting tho mur derer to Magdalene, they shot him. A story reached the mining camp that the murderer had been killed by Kendall, whereupon a number of Mexicans sot upon Kendall and killed him. The same night about 100 Mexicans at tacked all the foreigners In camp. Tho foreigners took refuge In a mine after telephoning to Magdalena for troops. A detachment of fifty rural guards re sponded nnd escorted the foreigners to Magdelena, where they took the train for this city. Key to the situation Bee Advertising. HUERTA CALLS DIPLOMATS (Continued from Page One.) for the constitutionalists t was not at all improbable. Bucb action might not be formal rec ognition, which would present a curious tangle In technicalities ot international law, but it is pointed out by those who are urging informal dealings with tho constitutionalists that in reality Governor Carranxa waa legally elected chief execu tive ot the state ot Coahulla and that he and Governor Maytorena of Sonora justify their armed resistance of Huerta as a measure ot defense against those who took possession of the federal gov ernment machinery In the Mexican capi tal by arbitrarily overthrowing Madero. Doniratlo Program In Way, That President Wilson believes the Mexico City administration is incapable of restoring constitutional authority is evident and there is a well founded under standing that the Washington govern mept would adopt a very drastic policy immediately, but for the fear that It would Interfere with the domeaUo prn.
