CINGRESS” PROBE OF S4 INSASTER (Continued From First Page) found on the floor between the mo- tors ia positions which scemed to in- dicate that they had been huddled together under & tarpaulin which enshrouded two of them and which divers sald probably had covered the other pair. Thelr discovery 1y that position | led divers to express the belief that they had been trying to keep wum when death overtook them. and it opened up & wide fleld for specula- tion over the poasibility that the engine room victims may have lived for some time after ‘e crask. The only sounds cver reporied to have come from tho shattered hulk ‘were from the tofpede room where six men long survived the horror of thelr entombment. The bodles of four men taken from the 8-4 yeaterday were identi- fied a8 those of Lieut. Commander Willlam F. Callaway, Chevy Chase, Md.; Fred Henry O'Shieclds, of At- lanta, Ga.; Car! Harold Thompson ot San Franclsco, and James John- son White of Rockmart, Ga, Death Cause Uncertain Nelither has any infornation been avallable en the reports of examin- ing surgeons into the cause of drath. Salvage fleet personnel has heen di- vided over the way in which the men died, whethsr from drowning or trom suffocation by lsthal gas, At the paval court of inquiry into the disaster which has been sitting at the Charlestown navy yard, offi- cers and spectators altke looked forward with interest to the testi- meny today of Lieut. Commander John 8. Bayliss, commander of the coastguard destroyer Paulding when it rammed and sank the S-4. He was to take the stand after the conclusion of the testimony of Lieut. Commander Edward Ells- berg, salvage expert, who returned to the navy from retifement in order to put his knowledge at the Atsposal of the rescue flcet at Prov- incetown. > Ellsberg stoutly defended the salvage work in a detailed account of operatione there. To save the en- tire crew of 40 officers and men was the first effort of the navy forces rather than to provide air to the six men in the torpedo room. Elfsberg testified. Under questioning as to why the rescuers had not first attempted to| send air to the men known to be alive he asserted it was thought | wiser to try to save the complete personnel, if possible, inasmuch as the six were at the time apparently in good condition. Describes Devices He deacribed the safety devices on United States submarines as be- ing as plentiful as those on similar | vessels in any other pavy and con- cluded his testimony with & glow- ing tribute to the divers. “A salvage job in deep water finally comes down to the colrage and intelligence of the divers them- selves,” he said. I learned on the 8-51 that the group of men whe were doing the diving had a higher grade of courage and intelligence than almost anybody in the United States navy is called upon to exhibit in battle times or peace. “I felt that T was highly honorea, myself, working with these men on the 8-51 and the 8-¢ and I only hope the navy will realize some day What their services are.” NO INCESDIARISH AT PUTNAM SCHOOL (Continu~d from First Page) part of the attic where natural light. Supervisor Downes was not aware of the practice of sending boys into the attic and while he admitted that the fire could have started in this way, his official report to the school there fis board places the probable cause as | boller’ trouble, Noble Raps Incendiarism Theory. The theory of incendiarism was scouted today by Chief Williany Noble of the fire department, who | has been actively engaged in fire fighting for more than 30 years. “The fire started in the attic,” the chief said. “There was no explosion. In my opinion, the wiring in the attic could have caused the fire, and | it is also possible that a lighted | match dropped carelessly ignited pa- | pers stored there, but I do not be- | lieve there was incendiarism. The | fire in the Sacred Heart school, for | instance, had all the appearances of | having bcen set deliberately, as the | flames were roaring in two widely | separated parts of the building.” Chief William C. Hart of the po- lice department said today that he had not heard anyone discuss the theory of incendlarism, and no re- port relative to this angle of the fire had been brought to his attention. He doubted that the fire was set. “Always Keep Receipts” —and you can vou have your easily do this if Checking Ac- count here at the “Trust Co.” Each canceled ‘check-is a legal receipt for the payment made.

Bayliss, who was |in command of the coast guard de. |stroyer Paulding when it rammed and eank the submarine 8-¢ off | Provincetown on December 17, sp- peared as a witneas today before !the naval court of inquiry investi- gating the 8-4 disaster, | Commander' Leslie E. Bratton, |judge advocate, explained that | Commander Eayliss, as an interest- ed party in the inquiry, was taking the witneas stand at his own re. quest to assist in presenting all the |facts in connection with the colli- sion. Commander Bayliss said’he had, |seen 26 years of eea service, and, had been in command of vessels | since 1919, He said that on December 17 the | Paulding was searching an assign- | | | | | | i {ed area in the regular duties of the coast guard service. No speed lmit {had been specified for the vessel, which was operating at the discre- tion of the commanding officer. The area assigned to the vessel for the day covered Massachusetts bay and the coast of Cape Cod. “The ordinary crulsing speed of the Paulding 1s 18 knots,” the wit. ness said. “I considered that speed necessary to cover the outgr line of my area and examine the ap- proaches to some of the harbors before dark.” The witness said that it was re. ;qmred to have a special Jlookout | stationed on the bridge in hazy or foggy weather and also at night. On December 17 no lookout had |been assigned as such. On the bridge was the officer of the deck, | | a junior officer, quartermaster and ‘wheelman.

Remus has no further recourse in Cincinnati courts except a hearing, set for Monday, on an appeal to the common pleas court from Probate Judge Lueder's decision. Remus’ ap- peal was on the ground that the pro- bate court had reversed six alicnista who found him sape. Twe alternatives for court action jare before Remus. Either he may start habeas corpus proceedings here, or fight his entry to the insti- tution on the claim of faulty com- mitment papers. Remus went through tho usual formalities at the hospital. - He will not be confined regularly in a cell, but will be placed under obsérvation.

A chorus, offering in addition to its finished presentation of song and dance, a picture of beauty, has taken hold of the lyrics and dancing spe- clalties in a fashion which Director Charles Gaa and his associates say is remarkable. Solo dances, interspersed with or accompanying the chorus numbers, are being perfected at rehearsals which are now being held regularly. The vocalists are demonstrating en- thusiasm and are allowing nothing to remain undone to make this a real feature of the performance. The ;dramatic numbers, many of them chock full of comedy, and every one an original plot, have won the plaudits of members ot the club who have been privileged to catch a glimpse of the rehearsals. Members of the club are assist- ing the show committee in the sale of tickets.
