V
Official Reoort On Accident
Declares It Was Caused by i
Air Valve's Failure
to Work.
Pl)adelphia,. Pa., ' Sept. 4. The
' United States submarine S-S went to
the bottom of the Atlantic ocean aft
Cape Henlopen because a large air
intake valve failed to close when
me sun mauc a. pxactice live, in.
-navy panance a : crash dive. 1 here
were 38 oflicers and enlisted xnen
aboard.
This was revealed today in ths, oi
ficial report qk the accident made by
the commander of the destroyer
Beaver.
The Beaver was standing by the
battleship Ohio, which today is tow
ing the ill-fated submarine to the
Delaware breakwater, creeping along
about three miles an hour. Nothing
had been heard by naval authorities
late this morning from the Ohio, but
it was believed that the flotilla would
arrive at the breakwater, 90 miles
down the river from Philadelphia,
' late today. t
Receive Official Report.
Briefly, but reVealing the desperate
plight of the imprisoned, men, the
Beaver's report tells of the accident
and the work of rescue.
It discloses that it was largely
through the work of -the imprisoned
men under the direction of Lieu
tenant Commander Charles Cooke,
jr., that they were saved, and tfiat
it was their own desperate efforts
and not a telephone buoy, as-first
reported, that attracted attention of
he rescuing ships. The crew
learned that the stern of their ship
was above water. Then, working
as they never worked ' before, they
1 , gouged a small hole through the
steel hull.. To do this they climbed
up the side of the ship, standing at
an angle of about 68 degrees. A
RuntTr White "Flag."
Through this , hole they thrust a
pole, a sailor's white undershirt tied
to it, and wig-wagged signals of
distress, which were seen by the
from the east where she spent a
steamship Alanthus, the first vessel
to pass, 27 hours later.
The report of the Beaver shows
that the accident occurred at 2 p.
m. Wednesday. With the boat at
the bottom in 168 feet of water, the
men w orked -desperately: Some of
the water was expelled and the
stern rose slowly, but the storage
batteries had been flooded, releasing
f. chlorine fumes, the same gas that
the Germans used in the world war.
The fumes drove the crew from
the compartments. With the bat
teries flooded, they presumably J
were forced to work practically in
darkness, aided only by small flash
lights. 1 Worked in Relays.
V The men worked in two-minute
relays. They could not stand it
J.for a longer period, t The chlorine
sank to the ' bow of the ship, but-r
' there was no fresh air and the oxy
gen was rapidly being exhausted.
Sweating and -panting, the men
worked at the hull. It was slow
work, but finally a hole was made
and a thin trickle of fresh air
floaVid in.
"Consider- saving personnel was
. splendid feat, i Slightest - mistake
after accident on part of officers
would have resulted loss of some or
h". the Beaver report said, tersely.
Blame Sub's Crew.
Members of the crew of a de
stroyer which arrived at the Phila
, dclphia navy yard after having been
- s th rn of 'the disaster declared
the accident was due to negligence
ftn the part of a member of the crew
of the S-5. Officers would say noth
ing referring interviewers to Wash
mgton. - ;
After a large hole ha'd been drilled
hi the upstanding stern of the sub
marine by Engineer Grace and his
Msistant of the transport General
Coethals, which joined the Alan
l.u in the rescue work, and the
men were take from their prison,

Chicago Trlhune-Omah Bee Leased Wire
Washington, Sept. '4. The trou
b'esome issue arising out of the ailen
land ownership referendum in Cal
ifornia, was a subject of discussion
between Secretary of State Colby
and Governor tephensof Californ
iaotter which the secretary said he
hid hope that a set'lement of the
question which w6uild be satisfactory

soon be reached.
Governot-5tephens would not dis

It is known, however, that Secre

California -executive submitted sug

that the governor has been kept in

HARDING HOPES
AMERICA WILL
"OUTLAW WAR"
Says He Is Willing to Do Any
thing Expept Surrender In
dependence to Attain ,
World Concord. ,
Marion, O., Sept. 4. Hope that
the United States will take the lead
to "outlaw war" and secure the pe
nianent peace of the world, was
voiced by Senator Harding in a
speech 'at a home-coming celebra
tion at Mount Gilead, O., a town in
his native county. ' V
Addressing a crowd from a street
booth where members of the Ameri
can, Legion, were soliciting , funds
for a home for their local post, the
republican nominee, declared he was
willing to do anything short of sur
rendering the nation's independence
to attain world concord. He main
tained that acceptance of the league
of nations as it was written, how
ever, would involve a sacrifice of
nationality "which no friend of peace
should advocate.
"I want to show my gratitude to
these men in an effective way," said
Senator Harding, turning to the for
mer service men, "by seeing that
neither they nor their sons nor their
sen's sons shall ever be called to
the battletront again. I am not sure
that I am in complete accord with
others as to the means,) but if I can
speak the conscience of America,
we will lead the world to outlaw
war." Y
The candidate also declared the
nation milst show practical.helpful
generosity to the former soldier,
adding that it was unfair to impose
universal service unless there was
to be an adequate expressrem., of
gratitude with the return of peace.
The speech was the second deliV'
ered'by Senator Harding today, hii
pos'tion in support of co-operative
agreements for farmers having been
outlined a few hours before. '
Co-operative marketing, he told a
committee of thet national board of
farm organizations, would be the
first practical step that could be tak
en to reduce the cost of living.
