Terrific Explosion Within Hull Comes During Repair Work on the E-2 While in Dry Dock. New York, Jan. 15.?Four men were killed and ten injured, five dangerously, in an explosion today on the submarine E-2 while the craft was undergoing repairs in dry dock at the New York navy yard. One of the men killed was an enlisted electrician and the others civilian workers. At least three of the ten - now in hospitals are not expected to live. The dead. R. B. Seabert, electrician, second class; James H. Peck, civilian,! general helper, Brooklyn; J. P. Schultz, civilian, machinist, Brooklyn; Joseph Logan, civilian, general helper, Brooklyn. The injured: L.

The detonation wag terific, but the j submarine from the outside shows j 110 effects. The interior was bauiv shattered,! but so tight was- the vessel's shell that i there was no means of escape for gas j and it was more than an hour after! the blast before the work of reco-ver-! i ing the bodies could be completed. A ladder blown up through the conning tower fell 150 feet away. ___ I ine injured ana one uuu.y ?nc ic-i moved soon afttr the accident, buti three bodies far down in the craft, could not be reached until the gas had been blown out by compressed air. Soon after the explosion several naval officers led a rescue party, but were partly overcome by fumes. It was then that compressed air pipes were run into the shell. (The nuniber of men inside the submarine at the time of the explosion is not known definitely. About 20 were working on the craft. It is not thought possible that any one on the inside could have escaped injury. Winat caused me expi?>u>u nan been definitely decided. Read Admiral Nathaniel R. Usher, commandant of the navy yard, after a brief investigation, declined to express an opinion. He said: ',The men were at work in the battery compartment of the E-2 putting the new Edison batteries through a rheostat to measure the voltage and the explosion occurred in that compartment. The battery will generate no kind of gas and there was no gaso- j line on board. The engine was of the oil-burning Disel type.'' Pending the appointment of an official board of inquiry Rear Admiral Usher named a temporary investigating committee as follows: Lieut. Command; r Pope, Washington, commander of the recei-.ing ship Maine; Lieut. L. M. Stewart of the torpedo boat destroyer McCall and Lieut P.ush P. Fay, commander of the submarine division] to which the E-2 was attached. This committee immediately be^an to take ~ I testimony. lie Hydrogen. The opinion was expressed that the process of withdrawing the charge from the batteries might have caused the formation of hydrogen gas. The explosions of that nature have been frequent on submarines of all navies , and several slight'ones .have occurred on American boats. The E-2 was the only vessel in the world equipped with the Edison nickel batteries and she made her first trip with them December 7, last. It was reported that the new batteries gave' better speed with less fuel. Thp Edisnn battery, experiments have proved, generates nearly double I the ordinary amount of hydrogen dur! ing the process of charging, but on discharge or while lying idle gives off much less. During the battery trials there were reports from her officers of an undue amount of hydrogen. The boat made one trip with observers aboard and it was reported that while in operation not enough gas was generated to be dangerous. There were three other submarines in the dry dock, but they were about 50 feet from the E-2, which had been undergoing repairs since December 30 mhere were no torpedoes or gasoline aboard any of them. Secretary Daniels was at luncheon at the 'National Democratic club here when informed of the explosion. Rear 'Admiral Usher was there also and the commandant left for the yard immediately. Lieut. Charles M. Cooke, commander of the E-2, was not at the navy yard when the explosion occurred. Commander Daniel fW. Wurtsbaugh, a navy department aide, reported to Secretary Daniels this afternoon the result of his preliminary inquiry into the explosion. "As Commandsr Wurtsbaugh has the ?c?n + fircf iian'd " \Tr Dan llliorilicl Cl V Hi AAw***v?f iels said, "I prefer that he should impart it, as he can do it more intelligently than I can." "Commander Wurtsbaugh said: "The E-2, one of the oldest submarines, was in dry dock when the explosion took place. It was an internal explosion, there being no apparent damage on the outside."

First reports that the new Edison storage batteries in the E-2 were being rep charged at the time of the accident caused navy department officials to conclude that hydrcgen gas had ig-, nited, but later official information that the batteries were being disj charged upset that theory. | The following statement issued bv the navy department tonight contained [all that was known" here officially: "An explosion occurred on the E-2 in dry dock tHis? afternon at'1.1V apparently under the battery deck, which tore up the batt; ry floor under the' forThA KdiRori storasre bat-i v> a i n liutvii. w_ tery was being discharged through a rheostat at the time at a slow rate." The department- experts on submarine construction said tVuy knew of only two possible causes', of explosion. aside from the possible ignitioi; cf .hydrogen gas. While highly improbable, they said it was possible that j there had been an explosion of the j oil used to drive the surface engines. There never has been an accident of that character, even with -:Joats operated by gasoline. The second possibility, they said,, 'was that an air flask had exploded. " ' ? ' >- iU.

To small warehouse companies this might ' oecome somewhat of a menace.

CiA ^CA v cu* Of course, the real purpose is to crush out the state system, if possible, not for the credit which the holders of cotton would receive upon t'ne receipts [ which would be issued by this monster i merger, but, as explained in the fol'owing sentence in this propaganda proposed by the gentleman from New York, representing the Northern mil lions: "It can not be doubted that a combination of the Atlantic States and Standard companies for the purpose which I am planning would produce an4 enlarged enterprise "whose earnings i would exceed the aggregate earnings of the two existing companies." It is very clearly and very frankly stated. Of course the ultimate purpose looks further than the profits from storage it looks to the control of the price to be paid for the entire crip.

Hence, in order to retain their power to fix the price of cotton, they must have control of the spot cotton and this giant merger aims to take the cotton away from the farmers so that the price can continue to be manipulated. The only remedy for this is for the farmer to have adequate means' of storage at home and keep his cotton out of the hands of those who would take from him the profits which he has tftonla Tiia nhippt r>f .fhA ill LilC jl M warehouse system is to enable the farmer to carry the surplus, for it is the surplus of any product which depresses the price. 'Tihe farmer must either carry the surplus himself or permit his enamies to -use it as a club.'; It is a very subtle attempt to retain control of the cotton crop, and were it not for the South Carolina and Texas state warehouse systems it would have already been accomplished without anybody knowing what was being done, and I am satisfied that if I had not ! ?: ^ f i-Vi r\ T\I1 K1 t glVeXl 111C ?~"?5 yuwwv^v I did last fall, South Carolina would nave ben in their hands now. This is really a violation of the Sherman antitrust law, and of the constitution and statute laws of this state, and the facts are'sufficient for the government, bor* state- and national, to take action. I am informed that on December 22, 191.">, the signer of the call, Mr. Shaw, met certain Columbia gentlemen in Greenwood. It is significant that the daily press Carried no notice of this important conf, rence, although, doubtless. they were well represented. The moneyed interests nave gone ahead in Atlanta, and are now constructing a $1,000,000 warehouse in the attempt to prevent the adoption of a state warehouse law in Georgia. I am informed that recently 6,000 bales of j cotton were brought to Atlanta irom; Oklahoma, 2,000 miles, past three of the greatest ports in the South. Of course, the expense is borne by the producer. This concentration warehouse will lend 10 cents a pound on the cotton, and w'nen it is deemed advisable, a sufficiently large combination can force down the price, call for more margins, and the man 2,000 miles away would be powerless. The cotton could be taken in by the warehouse at 10 cents a pound, while on the conti1 19 " - x -""'J ?aT/J nent 01 Europe il cuuiu uc wm wu?^ for 40 cents a pound. The method is , so simple that it would be incredible that the cotton growers of the South have stood patiently tinder the burden so long, were not the evidence before our eyes every day. Essential to Success. In concluding this general report, I . desire to say that the State of South , Carolina should either get behind its j warehouse system with. all of its power I or it should abandon the attempt and confess that .those in charge of the state government are unwilling to , throw around the farmers that protec- jj tion to which they are entitled in the * conduct of a business which is the basis of the state's prosperity. We can not pursue the policy. "I nibble." The enemy, with its thorough organi/ation, has too complete a monopoly in those munitions of war, money and credit. The state warehouse system should not be doomed to a death from starvation, with only lip service. The strong support which it needs, and of which .it has demonstrated its worthi ness, will never come from wily politicians, glorying in ephemeral power, hut from representatives of the people who have heard liie demand of the musses for a sound economic policy of "live and let live." In the beginning, the success of this departure in government was bound to depend very largely upon the personality of tlie commissioner. If this continued to be true, the system would be practically worthless as a business proposition. I am as rapidly as possible placing it on a basis of separate departments, where any good business man, with a practical experience In 'orcro affairs nnn handle it. Personal v I would be glad to be relieved of the great responsibility, but I will not be placed in the position of a cowardly shirking of the duty which I owe to those who have large sums invested in warehouses, and'those who have 'millions loaned on the receipts be- ' cause of their faith in the establishment by me of the system upon an * VliNM TfT/M* 1 /?
