REPAIR PARTS for Furnaces and Boilers TEN MEN INDICTED IN MINE SLAYINGS Kentucky Grand Jury Returns Bills After Original Ones Are Quashed. ’ By the Associated Press. MOUNT STERLING, Ky. November 23.—Ten Harlan County miners, union officials and former Evarts officers were indicted here today by & Montgomery County grand jury on charges of mur- der and conspiracy after murder indict- ments returned against them by a Har- lan County grand jury had been quashed. Four of the ten also were ac- cused of alding and abetting. The action was the first maneuver 1in the legal battle between the Com- monwealth and the defense in the trials of Harlan County indictments, which had been set for today, and was taken over objections of the defense. List of Those Indicted. ‘The cases were transferred here on change of venue. Those named on murder and conspiracy counts in the new indictments were W. M. Hightower, president of the local Miners’ Union at Evarts; W. B. Jones, secretary of the same organization; Asa Cuisick, former chief of police at Evarts: his former | assistant, Al Benson, and Jim Reynolds, Floyd Murphy, F. M. Bratcher, Bill ‘Turpin, Bill Hudson and Otto Mills, miners. Hightower, Jones, Culsick and Benson also were accused of aiding and abetting. All the charges were based on the killing of Deputy Sheriffs James Daniels and Otto Lee, and Howard Jones, & commissary clerk, in a battle near Evarts last May 5. It was this battle that brought more than 300 National Guard troops into the Harlan coal fields to restore order. Grand Jury Recalled. ‘The new indictments were returned shortly after the original ones had been quashed on motion of the State's coun- sel. A Montgomery County grand jury, after completing its work some time ago, was in recess and was reassembled to consider the indictments. By the Associated Press. Included among the defense counsel were Ben B. Golden of Pineville, Ky., l’e%rnentms the General Defense Com- mittee of Chicago, legal arm of the I W. W. representative in the coal flelds; former United States Senator John M. Robsion of Barbourville, Ky., and W. B. White of Mount Sterling. Former Gov. James D. Black of Kentucky, whose name had been an- nounced as among defense attorneys, did not appear and it was understood & previous engagement might prevent his taking part. Golden headed the defense last week here of Willlam Burnett, a Harlan County miner, acquitted by a jury of & charge of having fatally shot Deputy Sheriff Jesse Pace in another coal fleld disorder last April. The task of prosecuting the 11 men fell on Commonwealth Attorney W. C. Hamilton, assisted by R. L. Pope of Knoxville, Tenn., widely known through- out Kentucky and Tennessee as a criminal lawyer; F. B. Jones, Harlan; J. B. Snyder, Harlan, and Reid Prewitt, Mount Sterling. Judge Hemry R. Prewitt was presiding. Finanelal assistance was given the defense by the General Defense Com- mittee and the United Mine Workers of America. Attorneys for both sides have admitted Communism and the 1. W.

BY SIMON LAKE, Inventor. submarine designer end builder. and technical director of the Lake-Railey Lusitania expedition. Special Dispatch to The Star, NEW YORK, November 23 (N.A. N.A).—By the first of the year, if the British authorities give final sanction to a project now well under way, I hope to see the decks of the Cunarder Lusitania, which was sunk in 18 min- utes by a German torpedo in 1915, with the loss of 1,198 lives, including those of nearly 200 American citizens. In the safe of the purser, which, in a salvaging expedition, we expect to be able to brivg to the surface, there will undoubtedly be documents of vast importance, and as our men go into the depths of the ship they will find effects which may give to posterity lasting mementoes of one of the great disasters ot history. ‘There will be ~photographs of the dining salon, taken with special ap- paratus which has been perfected for photographic work under water. These will show how the magnificent room of 16 years ago, quickly deserted in the moments between the direct hit of the torpedo and the sinking of the vessel, looks today. To the layman this project of ours may sound like another story from the pen of Jules Verne, and I am almost amused at the incredulity which lay- men have evinced for the last 16 years. Enterprise Stopped by War. Twenty years ago I invented a tube designed to recover the treasure of the Loutine, a British frigate sunk off Hol- land's Zuyder Zee with $6,000,000 in gold bullion aboard. Lloyd’s of London has kept an ey2 on the treasure for 150 years. ‘The war stopped that enterprise, for I was called hack to build more sub- marines for the United States Govern- ment. I recently started to operate under contract, building the apparatus for the Lusitania venture. water part of it was thoroughly d veloped and has been proven in re- covering cargoss from a number of ships sunk at a lesser depth than that of the Lusitania. It is simply a question of increasing the length of our inclosed apparatus, arranging for delails above the surface and handling the subsurface mechanics necessary for this particular job. In other words, the theory has been proved sound, and it 13 now only a job for the steel production plant. Now, the Lusitania was not sunk in the middle of the ocean, and her keel is only 240 feet beneath the surface, eight miles from the Irish coast. The top deck, a deck, 1s only 175 feet below, and the stacks are naturally higher up. As I see it definitely, after numerous experiments and after having received many reports concerning Britain's Win- ter coastal conditions, we should have the safe on board a trawler ~ithin two days after our soundings identify the sunken ship. I expect to go down to A DULIN & MARTIN M0 SERVING WASHINGTON FOR OVER THREE-QUARTERS OF A CENTURY, Exhibition and Sale OF ANTIQUE PERSIAN RUGS AND RARE ANTIQUES Brocades Manuscripts « Glazed Glass « Lacquerware - Miniatures « Needlework « Antique Rugs Embroideries « Velvets « Block Prints ” & ‘An exquisite collection of rare Antiques dating as far back as the 12th Century—a praiseworthy endeavor to preserve the Persian art.

Usually, when we search for sunken vessels, two boats are used, of the same general type as the hydrographic sub- marine. When & wreck is located, divers go out and examine it. If it is worth salvaging, its location is plotted on a chart, and then the recovery boats are sent to remove the cargo. I have done much experimental work in locat- ing sunken wrecks and recovering their cargoes. In 1898 and 1899 the Argo- naut was sent out for wreck-finding cruises, and a number of cargoes were successfully and profitably recovered. It is impossible to give all technical details of our preseni plans, because many of them are secret, and because, too, Great Britain has not yet given its formal approval, but I will say this: From the mother ship, which is 134 feet long, with a beam of 24 feet, we will send below a steel tube which will rest on a deck of the Lusitania. ‘The hydroastatic pressure there will be 75 pounds per square inch, but no one will feel ii more than they do in a submarine. All must go down the tube through a long stairway, until they reach a room, 12 feet wide, 8 feet long and 8 feet high. The tube itself is 5 feet in diameter, and will be perfectly supplied with air from the pumps above. There will be no pressure for the individual. It is only necessary to walk down the flight of stairs, inside the tube under normal atmospheric pressure, until one enters the observation or divers’ operat- ing—chamber at the lower end. This operating chamber is fitted with look- out windows. Various motor-operated winches will be on the exterior, also two doors pro- viding exit for the divers when it is necessary for them to go outside to do their work. Arrangement “Fool-Proof.” Before these doors can be opened a pressure of air must be admitted into the. chamber, equal to the water pres- sure outside. This pressure increases at the rate of 433 pounds per square inch, for every foot that the divers’ compartment is submerged beneath the surface. So it is 43.3 pounds at 180 feet and 86.6 pounds at 200 fect. ‘You might caii the arrangement for preventing exit from this room fool- proof, as it is unpossible to open the divers’ door until the sea pressure is equalized by admitting air to the com- partment. When this pressure is equal- ized the exit door is opened downward, and no water wili enter the room. In- stead, the air flows outward from the compartment. Once in the observation chamber spectators will watch the work of those on the Lusitania. Through glass win- dows and with the aid of powerful searchlights, all will know what is going on except when the divers are outside the ship. Vision of from 40 to 60_feet will be possible. Frank Crilley will be in charge of the diving operations, under my supere vision. He has gone down as far as 308 feet, and he tells me he has no doubts about this plan of ours. It will be easy for him, be says. Once we get the end of the steel tube firmly planted on the top deck. Crilly will enter the air-tight chamber and, on leaving it, will start to recon- | noiter. He has said that he can com- fortably work for an hcur at a depth of 200 feet at any time and the fact that he can start freshly from the | tube, with an hour for work, will be | of immeasurable help. Usually most of | the time of a deep-sea diver is taken 1in being lowered and brought up, and this will be eliminated. Safe’s Location Known. The submergible tube for the diver's operating compartment is shut off from the rest of the apparatus by means of an airlock, which permits ready passage to and from the surface vessel under normal air pressure; it is |only in the diver's compartment, where the air is under pressure equal to the compartment’s depth of submergence, that the exit door is opened. This arrangement ecliminated the ‘“bends,” ordinarily a great danger when men are under water. After Crilly has put in a shift he need only come back to the compart- | ment for a rest. We know exactly where the safe is, | and we will bring it out from the side | of the ship by a method which I cannot | explain at this time, secure it carefully with heavy chains, and hoist it by der- | rick to the mother ship. | , From then on, prevailing circum- stances will govern our activities. We wish to get everything of value, actual or sentimental, and bring it back to the world above from the sunken Lusi- tania. And considering that we shall be able to utilize about 10 days in any Winter month, we expect remascable photographic results. The water in Winter is more free from certain kinds of marine fauna, such as jellyfish, than in Summer. I shall leave for England as soon as I am informed that the extension to lengthen the steel tube is ready and official approval given our plans ~Then there must be trials off Brightingses, where the tube is being put zogether Once these trials are successfully eom- pleted, we shall visit the ¥ geitaria.
