Four of the other imen died in their clothes. Three of them were bare-footed, one of them had an Arctic overshoe on one foot. Qne of them gripped the hand of an- other with his right hand. Lieut.

Four of the men were clad in their submarine clothes, but another wore only his upper clothing. Blankets and bunks indicated that when death took them they were sitting and lying still in their bunks, probably obeying the command of their officer thus to conserve the pure air. But the oxygen tank valve was tight shut. The tank still contained its normal supply of oxygen, so that whe the salvage officers went below yester- day and turned the valve the oxygen whistled as it escaped. The gas masks had been taken'out of their canvas cases, but they had not been used. Door Wedged Shut. ‘The door leading to the battery room was dogged down tight. The dogs had been hammered down with a leaden maul, found nearby, and a large, heavy pinchbar. In the door, the glass-coi- ered port evidently had been leakingz, for it had been covered over with a plece of rubber. The S. shipped. and the stethoscope had been taken off, indicating that the doomed men in the torpedo room expected that they would receive fresh alr through this tube. The 8. C. tube runs ver- tically from the torpedo room to the torpedo deck above and is Dot soom. . The stethostope had bee room. The n ;emmcd by the prisoners before those ttempting & rescue had been able to connect an air hose to the part that protrudes on deck. This indicated that Lieut. Pitch knew where to expect fresh air, if any was to come, but he died be- fore the connection was made. No attempt had been made to escape through the torpedo tubes. In only sign that there was any attempt who still clasped 'in death th= rail of the torpedo room ladder. That, and the marks left by Lieut. Fitch's signaling hammer—small spots ‘where the paint had been worn off—the removal of the stethoscope from the 8. C. tube and the double-barred door to the battery room fed to tell of their last struggle with death. . Details Are Meager.

The tor- | pedo room was in better condition than other parts of the interior of the sub- marine. In other compartments the water had left not only a thick coat- ing of mud and siit, but oil covered everything, as if spread by a brush. There was some debris, and there was | some wreckage, so that progress through the hull was slow and difficult. The torpedo room was a chamber of hor- | rors, and the officers spent little time there, postponing a more thorough in- spection until the bodies had been re- moved, which was accomplished at 8 o'clock last night.

By the Associated Press NEW YORK, March 20.—The nameé of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh today | stood linked with those of Viscount Cecil and Elihu Root as one whose con- [ tribution to the cause of international | | peace and understanding had been rec- | ognized as worthy of the Woodrow | | Wilson award. | The award, consisting of a bronze medal 12 inches in diameter, and $25,- | 000, was presented by the Woodrow | Wilson Foundation at a dinner at the | Hotel Astor last n{shc attended by no- tables in many flelds. | ‘The award was presented to Viscount | Cecil of England in 1924 for his serv-| | jes to the League of Nations and to| Mr. Root in 1926 for his part in the | establishment of the World Court. | " Col. Lindbergh in his speech of ac- ceptance paid tribute to the uhlevc; | ments of President Wilson, “a man, he said, “who was always at the head | of progress and peace, and yet who ructure above it shows that had the | 5-4 been 2 or 3 feet lower down in the | water the damage from the Pnuld\ngl might not have been serious. Had she been 10 or 12 feet lower, she would | probably have escaped unscathed.

Something of importance | may be learned from the bearing of the | two periscopes.

Lindbergh expressed the belief that aviation would play a large part in the betterment of world understanding. Just as this coun- try was brought closer together and the union made possible by the rallroad and cemented by the gasoline engine, he said, aviation would in the future bring nations together. “It is my hope,” he added “that with-| in the next tew months we will have air liners operating from the United | States down throu"fh the Caribbean area to South America.

One man was found wedged against the starboard engine clutch. Avother was found, some hours later, outboard of the port air compressor in the motor room. Both | bodies weré clothed and their positions indicated that they had been washed where they were by the inrushing water. The clock in the control room was stopped at 3:34 (the ship sank at 3:37) and in the control room, the main mo- i tor control was set at “Stop” with the | portable lights set “Off.” A reading | of the master gyroscopes was taken and a five-dollar bill was picked up out of | the muddy siit. Today and for several days, however. the inspection will be continued, and during this time only | members of the board of inquiry will be allowed to go aboard. They have o | been given a list of 170 detailed in- structions of what to look for in the | submarine. They are to make a thor- | ough study of the radio log, ship's log. |qumermuw'n notebook, standardiza- tion records, none of which has yet been found, and then check on other detalls listed for each compartment. ‘The submarine was making stand- ardization tests when she was struck, and an electric cable ran from the pro- peller shafts in the engine room to a counter in the control room. where a | device recorded the number of revolu- | tions per minute of the engines. This | cable, or cables, stretched through the deors between the compartments, so that the doors could not be shut unless the cable was cut. The investigators have been ordered to determine wheth- er the cables were cut, and how they | were cut and what instruments were | used to cut them. A diver noted when | the submarine lay on the bottom that jhluegflms and a blanket were jammed | in the flapper valves at frame 72, in | the submarine. The Investigators have | been ordered to seek the reason for | this. Some of them expressed the be- | llef that they had been merely washed in there by the water.

The findings of | this board will be forwarded to Rear | Admiral Philip Andrews, commandant of the navy yard, who will send them to Washington or place them before the board which investigated the subma- rine’s sinking.

Then, possibly after the rending crash and the sudden de- scent of the sub, they managed to make it more secure By pounding down the dogs. These were emergency measures.

One probably told to lle still—that on lying still and making the alr last, depended their only chance for rescue. The gas masks were made ready. But there seemed no occasion to use them. Nor was the oxygen used, with the tank standing filled and ready. Why? No man can tell. Possibly the oxygen was being conserved until the last hours, and when those hours rolled around no man was strong_enough to reach the oxygen valve, a leakage of chlorine gas through the bulkheads from the battery room that made death sudden.
