U, S. SUBMARINE ANO ORKW
Aro Loan-Submerged OW Honolulu?
Xo Trace Yet.
Honolulu, March 2.").-Thc Ameri
can submarine F-4, which was sub
merged at 9.15 a. m. to-day two
miles off Honolulu harbor, had not
reappeared at nightfall and grave
fears were expressed for Its safety.
The P-4 carried a crew of 2~> men,
commanded by Lieut. Alfred L. ICde.
Three other submarines of the "P"
group, stationed here, Hie naval tug
Navajo and launches were scouring
the ocean for miles about the har
bor entrance to-night in .search M
the missing vessel.
Naval officials said they were
hopeful that no serious mishap had
befallen the F-4, bul they admitted
that circumstances of tho craft's pro
longed disappearance gave rise to
much apprehension.
Later to-night it was reported that
the F-4 had been located, lying at a
depth of 120 fathoms.
Attempts to bring the vessel to the
surface with grappling hooks failed.
No signal bells had been heard
from the submerged craft and this
fact led to fears that the submarine's
tanks .lad burst, suffocating tho crew
with sulphuric acid fumes.
Location SHH n Mystery.
Honolulu, ll. 1., March 20.-Ves
sels searching for the United States
submarine I'M have recommended
sweeping the ocean floor with cables.
So far no success bas been reported.
Naval officials reiterate their con
fidence that the P-4 is submerged
(dose to the harbor entrance. They
base their opinion largely on the re
ports of fuel oil seen on the surface
of the sea, on the stream of air bub
bles rising to the surface and also
on the recovery of a piece of b
tug Nnvajo. This piece of brass has
been identified by the naval authori
ties a?, from Hie I'M.
i.:e-1 11 "pc Abandoned.
Washington, Mandi 29.-The last
hope that any of the submarine P-4's
crew might be alive bas been aban
doned by Hie navy department. To
day Acting Secretary Hine ordered
Hear Admiral Moore, commanding
tho Honolulu naval station, to report
tho exact location of tho sunken boat
and the depth at which she lies, that
the department may estimate Ithe
probability of .salvaging tho hull and
recovering the bodies of her com
mander and crew.
No advices on the disaster have
conic to the department since Friday
night, when Admiral Mooro reported
that the boat was in BO fathoms of
water.
No further reports carno to the
navy department during tho day.
When Admiral Moore has made a re
port, on the location of tho hull, a
board of inquiry will be ordered to
investigate the disaster. That is the
usual course.

cin-s l/i<|ii<ir Situation.
Columbia, March 2!?. "Deflulto
action must be taken within a week,"
Governor Manning told Mayor Crace,
of Charleston, this afternoon at a
conference between them. "I asked
Mayor Grace," said tho Governor, "as
head of the government of Charles
ton to enforce tho law. I specially
mentioned th?? gambling law and tho
liquor law. 1 asked for enforcement
and not regulation. I pointed out
to Mayor Crace that as so much lias
been Bald and written on tho situa
tion, and as so much time has al
ready elapsed on account of his ill
ness, simo I had first taken the mat
ter up with him, that definite action
must be taken within a week; that
the public is so'well informed on tho
situation that nothing could ho
gained by further delay."
The statement of the (?overnor fol
lowed the publication in the local af
ternoon newspaper of an interview
with Mayor (tract;, in which ho wos
(looted as saying:
"Governor Manning told nie une
quivocally to enforce the law itt
Charleston. I took his order." Con
tinuing, this interview says: "Mayor
Crace was rather reticent in discuss
ing the liquor situation in Charles
ton, saying that, everything apper
taining to the illegal sale of intoxi
cants had been aired by every one
ou every occasion. Ho averred,
.however, that Charleston should >be
granted autonomy, that the people
of the city ahoU'ld be allowed to reg
ulate their own affairs as to liquor
selling in a -progressive way.
"Tho Charleston Mayor is of tho
opinion that the State needs a new
Constitution, w'hich will do away
.vith the
t?m of legislation and allow p ogres
sive measures to be passed. He also
thinks that Charleston needs a now
city charter, hut it cannot be granted
unless ('here is a change in the or
ganic law of the State."
