Every man was in high spirits.

I Every man was met at, the gang

i Hushes. As the admiral, who is com
f inandant at the navy yard, reached
i out hit hand with thev question:
j "How are youffl'' each one, even the
" three sfck men, straightened up, and
with a brisk navy salute, answered,
I 'fine, thank you, sir."
Piecing together the brief inter
views the men would give, it was
easy to obtain a fairly accurate
story of their experience at the bot
tom of the sea. The cause of the ac
cident, the men declared, was a fail
ure of the main air induction to
work. Who was to blame for this
they "did not know. That will be
the task of the naval board of in
quiry, the preliminaries of which be-
' gan today an the battleship Ohio. -It

hitches were closed and water doors
were opened as the air ballast was
forced out and the water rushed in
p.nd the' bfjat began to sink. In a
moment the indicator shpwed some;
thing was wrong. Th bow .was
sinking faster than iha stern. A
quick inspection showed' the air in
duction had failed to work and one
of the sea valves had not closed.
, Three minutes passed and -the sub
marine was still sinking, but uneven
ly. Orders flashed out from Com
mander ' Cooke, from Lieutenant
Charles Grischam and Ensign J. B.
Longstaff. Every man knew some
thing was seriously wrong, but not
;oue left his station. Then there
,cme
a bump. -
Too Busy to Worry.

i Just what had happened," said You-
,kers. "We were too busy to worry
EVfor a moment."

float, the men were forced trom one

nearer the stern each time, until all

of the. State department officials the-
entire matter of export taxes im
posed by the Mexican government,
a quesnon mat is oeing carctuiiy
studied by the department Certain
incongruities Jiave already been dis
closed by evidence in the possession
of the department, it was said to
day, which show that, while the Mex
ican government officials claim they
have levied on 10 pet cent as an ex
port tax, in reality it amounts to
trotrr 25 to 35 per cent.
' Under the tax law decreed by the
lute Fresident Carransa, fuel oil aiiu
crt.de petroleum pay 10 per cent on
certain valuation ixi every wo
months by the Mexican treasury de
partment, the department of- Haci
enda. These valuations, it is claimed
by, the Mexican official, are paidon
the verage price ootained in New"
York during the preceding two
months, after deducting the trans
portation charges, The idea of this
is, of course, to arrive at the prices
obtained ; for the oil at Tampico,
the port whence the product is ex
ported. The oil companies nave long con
tended that these rates are arbitrary
and not representative of the true
values. v
After the overthrow of Carnfnza
the fcovemment of Provisional Pres
ident deUa Huerta, animated by u
more friendly spirit, agreed to re
ceive from the American companies
these figures, but thus far has failed
to call the companies or their .rep
resentatives into conference with the
Civernment to consider the figures
which the oil companies have ready
to submit. , In a word, the Ameri
cans have not yet had a hearing such
as would be accorded to any in
dustry arguing its case before a
committee of the United Statescon-
gress.
According to information at tne
State deoartment, the companies had
honed that in view" of this the Mex
ican government would refrain from
raising the1 rates untij after an ex
change -of views and figures by both
tne government and the oil, com
panies, had taken place, which would
eliminate the difficulties and differ
ences which have arisen in the past
over the administration of the ex
port tax. ' . ' i
