NEW YORK, July 13.—Out of a blast of tons of TNT. that wrecked buildings miles away, the record of the marines emerged yesterday with- out a blemish. Secretary of the Navy lbur, com- fng out of the shell-plowed grounds of the Naval Arsenal at Lake Den- mark, N. J., with explosions of shells in biasted magazines punctuating his sentences, yesterday told the story of how the marines died running into danger instead of away from it. ““The position of the body of every man found proved that he died re- sponding to the fire call that was soundpd when the lightning struck the TNT magazine saturda.y Sec- retery Wilbur said. “The \position in | which their bodies were found indi- George: Vowes BALTIMORE T0 FlEHT 30-Year-Old Horse, Condolences Over | Bi§ EXPLOSIVE. nepor Blinded in Service, - | Miltions of Tons of War A cablegram from King o.m. of Great Britain expressing grief over the Lake Denmark explosion was received today-at the White . House and acknowledged in the name of President Coolidge. “I am grieved to hear of the' serious explosion caused by light- ning yesterday at the United States Navy ammunition depot n Lake ' Denmark,” King message said. “I assure you, h& President, and all ranks of the United States Navy, of my heart- hlt sympathy and feel duply for the families of those. who have lost their lives or otherwise suf- fered in this disaster.” President Coolldge replied: appreciate . your majesty’s message of sympathy on the serlous catastrophe at the Lake Denmark depot, which has cost the lives of & unmber pf our fellow countrymen.” JUDGE CALLS JAIL TERM FOR SPEEDERS T0OO HARSH cated they were going to the explosion | yng. to put out the fire and not seeking safety. Two hundred marines from Quanti- co, Va., were doing guard duty at the u-senal ‘when “the explosion occurred. “The situation is still dangerou: Secretary “I!bur said after his in- spection. “We are taking every pre- caution and doing our best to keep people out of the danger zone. The present danger lies in the fact that there are still 12 or 14 magazines in which are stored many 14-inch shells. These magazines have not been damaged, but the wind may veer to the opposite direction and set fire to them.” 4 Commenting on a report that offi- cers of the arsenal had complained to him of the condition of the ammuni- tion depot, Secretary Wilbur said: ““That is untrue, ‘ Ireceived no com- plaints of the arsenal being in a dan- gerous condition/ I know every pre- caution was taken to avoid such disasters. The Navy had the advice of the best experts as to the condi- tions as regards }Jigh'ning and other dangers.” During his inspection Seérefary ‘Wilbur went into the danger zone sev- eral times," once penetrating the devastated area to the point of enter- ing the arsenal.
