This was the testi- mony of Chief Engineer Willlam Holl, called at the resumed hearing )f the naval board of Inquiry at he navy yard here today investigate ing the sinking of the 8-51, Boll was in a soclal room of amer at the time, he said. After one whistle he saw a red light and one or two white lights at of the ste L 45 degree angle to starboard, he aid, These, he estimated, were 400 t aw He placed the white Ift above and a little aft of the red light. Then came four blasts ot the steamer's whistle. The crash occurred, he guessed, about 28 & onds after the sounding of the first | biast, Tbs crash and the rcersing of the steamer's engines occutred prac- tically simultaneously, the engine foom log showed.

He desbribed row- ing about, under direetion of the |captain, and plcking up the three men in the water, After that the captain had the |ship elrcled over the spot, he sald, When the hoat reached the water {the steamer was not going ahead.

He estimated that three-quarters of an hour elapsed before the third survivor was picked up, He be. lleved a thorough search had been ‘mfll“ The searchlight flashed on land went out, he said. On his re. turn the captain asked if he thought all survivors possible had been res- cued, Then the captain decided to circle the steamer around over the spot. There was “plenty of light,” he added. It did not occur to him, ed, that any men might be left live within the submarine. He did not think “it would had done any harm” to send out an 8§ O 8.

Pressure {s being brought to béar on both the operators and leaders of the Mine Workers' union for a set- tlement of the wage controversy. Several plans were sald to have been suggested, but so far as could be learned today they have met with many side, Samuel D. Warriner, chalrman of the anthracite operators eonference, yesterday told Major General Charles W. Berry, chairman of the New York state coal commission, that there was no immediate pros- pect of an adjustment of the differ- ences while John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, declar- ed today that the situation was “un- changed." Despite these definite statements there was a bellef in some quarters that the wage negotlations, broken oft in Atlantic City on August 4, would be resumed at an early date. No one ventured a prediction how soon this would be, but there were expressions of optimisin from those in close touch with the situation who, heretofore, had held but little hops of a settlement before the first of the year. Attention was called to the va- rious rumors of impending adjust- ment which {t was pointed out, in- | @viably have preceded the recon- ‘\anmg of the joint wage negotia- tions committee in previous suspen- sions, All of these rumors have been officially denied.
