S4T0 BE SOMK FOR MANY TESTS Il-Fated Ship Will Go Down Again Saturday New London, Conn, Dec. 13 (UP) —The salvaged submarine 8-¢ will | be sunk for scicnce some time after ‘Saturday, it was announced here to- day. When the S-4 was rammed and punk off Provincetown, Mass., just & year ago next Monday, it carricd 40 ' men to an ocean grave. When the S-4 is sunk in Long Is- land sound this time, navy officers expect to test devices and methods of rescue and salvage that will make chances of another submarine dis- | aster negligible. Without Crew According to announced plans, the | stripped, motorless hulk of the one- time deadly war boat will be sunk without a crew about two miles off Bartlett's reef, 12 miles from here. The ballast tanks and moter room will be flooded from the outside. The tanks will be filled until the boat weighs slightly more than the water and sinks slowly to the bottom, 60 feet down. Then will begin the task of rais- ing the submersible by new methods expected to prove easier than any yet employed. The navy will put Into action its salvage force, just as it did when 40 lives were at stake at Provincetown. Several of the same divers who worked on the S-4 and S-51 jobs will be employed in the present tests, it was said. “Pad Fye” Test The chief purpose of the proposed trials Is to test the “pad eyes” that have been built into the sides of the $-4 since it was salvaged and made a submersible laboratory of safety devices. Tt is hoped that pontoons may be hooked to the eyes and the boat raised in much less time than | of tunneling and for $250.000 against the Daily |county officers. the present system through the mud and slinging chains around the hull requires. Test of the “lung” and air lock Probably will be postponed until the ‘§-4 goes to Koy West, Fla, where the warm water will be more favor- able to experimentcrs. The lung is a temporary diving apparatus re- sembling a gas mask in appearance. The wearer may breath under water for about 20 minutes, long enough to reach the surface after he has escaped from the submarine by means of the air lock. Although no officlal annnounce- ment has been made, it was under- stood that tests of the private sub- marine “Defender” may be post- poned until later, Tentative plans called for the Defender to come here for a demonstration of its claimed ability to conduct rescue and salvage work from the sea-bot. tom, Dec. 23. 1s Incpected The -4 inspected this morning by Admiral Frank B. Upbam, comman- der of the control force, Licutenant- Commander P. H. Dunbar, super- intendent of safety tests, Lieutenant Ralph Skylstead, aide to the ad- miral, and Lieutenant Charles B. Momson, inventor of the lung. It was announced that guard ralls would be built around the conning tower of the S-4 to protect it against the crushing force of the swaying pontoons during the raising. Tt is expected that building of the guard rails will take at least two days. Blind Veteran Ple=ds For Anti-War Pact Parls, Dec. 12 (A — Georges Bcapini, the war-blinded deputy who recently returned from an extended tour of the United States, made an appeal before the foreign affairs comumittee of the chamber of depu- ties yesterday for ratification of the Mellon-Berenger debt agreement. This was the agreement by which France undertook to pay in 62 an- nual instaiments a total of $4,025,- 000,000 to the United States. M. Bcapini, who represented the war mutilated weterans of France at the convention of the American | Legion in San 'Antonio, argued that France should ratify the agreement from the viewpoint of honer- ing the signature of her represent. ative as well as for the sake of ad- vantages which would accrue to the country.

Madison, Maine, Dec. 13 (®— About one-half of the upper dam across the Kennebec river here went out eariy today.

Nearly all of the local industries depended upon the dam, which was built about 35 years ago and was be- ing raised to 1increase the storage of water.

Branson, chief justice of the Oklahoma supreme court, added to a growing list of libel suits against newspapers yesterday a suft for $300,000 against the Oklahoma News company of Oklahoma City and 34 stockholders. | Among the defendants are Rob- ! ert F. Scripps, Westchester, Ohio, 'and Roy M. Howard, New York. directors of the company, and Carl Magee, editor of the Oklahoma News. The specific charge of libel, as in other cases which the chief justice has filed, is connected with publica- tion of a report in the Oklahoma (News that charges had been voted against the chief justice by a meet- ing of legislators here last Decem. ber. { Chief Justice Branson has filed a libel suit for $250,000 against the Oklahoma News in Cleveland coun- ty; for $250,000 against the OKkla- homa Publishing company in Lin- coln county; for $250,000 against the Tulsa World in Creek county Oklahoman In Adair county.

Northcott was returned to the county jail here after he and his mother, Mrs. Louisa Northcott, pleaded not guilty in Riverside to the Collins murder for which they were jointly indicted. After the arraignment, when mother and son met for the first time since Mrs. Northcott was re- turned from Canada, Mrs. Northcott sald her son must be insane if he made the statements accredited to him. Is Different “If he signed that he is insane!" she exclaimed when shown North- cott's written confession to Kmul’der of the Mexican boy named 'as Alvin Gothea. “He is so differ- ent and cold from the hoy I knew." ‘When told of his mother’'s words, Northcott appeared incensed. “I'm sick and tired of this insani- ty talk,” he muttered to his guards, Deputy Sheriffts Croushorn Brewster, while en route here from Riverside. *‘This insanity stuff ‘is the bunk and I'll permit no such defense.” Although Northcott made no ref- erence to his charges of brutal treat. Jment at the hands of Los Angeles county officers when he appeared in the Riverside court, the charge was hinted in another unsuccessful at. |tempt by Norbert Savay, Northcott's counsel, to have the youth trans. |ferred to the custody of Riverside The motion was denied by Judge 0. K. Morton when Deputy District Attorney Earl Redwine told the court Northcott was under the ob. servation of alienists here.

End Table with | Will Awlish Custom ~After YALE LAW COURSE FOR SENIORS ENDS Agmmlls Reached New Haven, Dec. 13 UP—The Yale law achool and Yale college have agreed that the combined course (n the law school heretofors open to college seniors shall be abolished, the Yale Daily News said today. Al- though this action takes effect with the opening of the academlic year 1929-30, a speclal provisio will be made for members of the class of '30 who have planned to enroll in the combined course. The provision will allow these stu- dents to be admitted to law school it they have an average of 300 for | thgpe years in college or for junior year, if they are recommended by the dean, and if they comply with the formalities of application re- quired of college graduates. Shortins Oourse The combined course has been a method of shortening the law achool course without sacrificing a college | degree. Through it ‘an increasing number of men have in their senior year devoted their entire time to law school work. The reason given for the abolishment of the law course to | college seniors is that the college has not felt that this arrangement was entirely satisfactory wishing to have its students spend four years on cul- tural subjects before taking up pro- fessional study.

Featuring American Watches The combined course was insti- tuted when the law school wished to make a special appeal to Yale men. It can no longer be justified on that ground: for of the 287 college grad- uates in the school, 124 are-from Yale college or the Sheffield scienti- tie achool. The law achool has also been desirous of reducing the num- ber of its student body to manage- able proportions. In addition since Yale men only were allower to enter the law school without college de- greea, there has been a certain ele. ment of unfairness in the treatment | of students from other universities.
