: Udi-on lteprcsentative Contradicts
Commander of Submarine, Where
Fatal Explosion Occurred,
as to Number of Fans.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19. Danger from
hydrogen gas on he submarine E-2
was recognized by the commander
shortly after the Edison batteries were
installed last September, and "a request
for a hydrogen detector was not filled
by the Navy Department. Lieutenant
Charles M. Cooke.- the commander, tes
tified when he resumed the witness
stand today before the naval court of
inquiry investigating the recent fatal
explosion on the craft.
Lieutenant Cooke also said he recom
mended that each of the 400 cells In the
two batteries be equipped so that con
dition of each sell might be determined
independently of the others, but the
bureau of engineering of the Navy ue
partment would not permit this to be
done.
It had previously been brought' out
In the testimony of Ramon Otto, an
electrician of the second-class, that
some of the cells were reversed on the
day of the explosion. During the
process of discharging, it was later ex
plained, the reversed cells would be re
charging, and this would cause an ex
cessive amount of . hydrogen gas to
form.
Open Light Not Burning.
Changes were made in the ventilat
ing system in the battery compartments
at his suggestion. ' Lieutenant Cooke
said, and all the fans were running
during the discharge that was in prog
rrss at the time of the explosion.
The commander testified that there
was no open light burning in the sub
marine at the time of the explosion
but admitted that a spark could have
been struck if a tool came into contact
with any two of the battery terminals.
He also said he had no complaint of
carelessness to make against any mem
ber of his crew or against the civilian
workers on the E-2.
Miller Reese Hutchinson, represent
ing the Edison storage battery at the
inquiry, issued a statement today in
which he expressed the opinion that
the E-2 was filled with hydrogen gas
at the time of the explosion. Thin
would not have happened, he said, if
the ventilating system bad been in full
operation.
Terra I'sed by Plumbers.
"It is a curious thing that the bulk
head between the engine-room and the
after battery compartment, which was
20 feet from the battery proper, was
blown toward the battery," Mr. Hutch
inson said. "There were plumbers
working in the engine-room, where
two men were killed- This indicates
to me that the explosion occurred there.
I have an affidavit that plumbers a
few days before the explosion were
using a gasoline torch in the E-2.
In direct contradiction to Lieutenant
Cooke's testimony. Mr. Hutchinson
said, in his statement, that there was
only one fan in operation at the time
of the explosion.
MR. JONES OFFERS BILLS

BETTER THAU CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets the sub
stitute for calomel are a miid but
sure laxative, and their effect on the
liver is almost instantaneous. They are
the result of Dr. Edward's determina
tion not to treat liver and bowel com
vlaints with calomel. His efforts to
banish it brought out these little oUvo
colored tablets.
These pleasant Uttle tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
tiuickly corrci it. Why cure the liver
at the expens of the teeth T Calomel
omeumes plays havoc with the gum,
too do strong liquids.
It is best not to take calomel, but to
let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its
piace. .
Most -headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Ed
wards' Olive Tablets when you feel

CLARKE IDEA ATTACKED
AWEMJMKXT TO JitlTRALIZE PHIL-
I IT I ES CRITICISED.
Statement That Islands Constitute
Menace to t ailed States Is Chal
lenged by Chalrmaa Hitchcock.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. The Clarke
amendment which would embody in the
Philippine Islands self-government ex
tension bill a provision for absolute
indeiendence after two years, was de
bated in tho Senate today, with criti
cism centering about the proposal that
the United States negotiate for an In
ternational guarantee of Philippine
sovereignty after the two-year period.
A vote on the amendment is expected
tomorrow.
Chairman Hitchcock, of the Philip
pine committee, led the attack on the
amendment, challenging statements of
its supporters that the Islands consti
tuted a menace to American interests
and urging particularly that Japan
was not opposed to a continuance of
American occupation. Senator Clarke,
author of the amendment, and Senator
Hardwick, another Democrat, argued
that the independence proposal was
sound from a moral, commercial and
military standpoint.
Senator Works, Republican, said he
would vote for the amendment as a
matter of principle, though he was
opposed to entering on an Interna
tional agreement that probably would
be broken by some other nation in
time of war.
Senator Colt insisted that the present
time was inopportune for approaching
the European powers with proposals
for such an agreement, and Senator
Norris introduced a sub-amendment
which would provide that negotiations
for independence under an interna
tional guarantee be begun after two
years.
Declaring that so long as the United
States remained in Asia. Japan would
have the basis for an equitable argu
ment against Japanese exclusion from
America, Senator Lewis ursed that this
Government either should withdraw
at once from the islands or fortify
them against every possible danger.

SEVENTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
To the Policy-holders and Public: . ,
One year ago I stated that the European war would not have any material effect on our Company,
notwithstanding the world-wide character of its business.
I now confirm that statement by facts based on experience that includes twelve added months
of war.
In life insurance the financial effect of mortality is expressed by the per cent which the total actual
death losses of the year bear to the expected death losses according to the tables of mortality adopted
by the state for valuation purposes. Through a period of years this per cent (disregarding tractions)
has been as follows:
1912 Actual death losses 76 of the "expected"
1913 Actual death losses 73 of the "expected"
1914 Actual death losses 73 of the "expected" (5 months of war)
1915 Actual death losses 73 of the "expected" (12 months of war)
In all the world, from the beginning of hostilities up to January, 1916, seventeen months, we
had in all the membership of the Company 534 separate war claims.
During the year 1915: .
409 members of the Company were killed in war
448 members of the Company were killed by accident
707 members of the Company died of cancer
772 members of the Company died of pneumonia
950 members of the Company died of tuberculosis
In the grim battle of life with its inevitable mortality and its unnecessary slaughter, the mor
tality of a world-war, even while it is being prosecuted, amongst a membership that is also world-wide,
is about . , .
91 of that caused by accident in the same membership
58 of that caused by cancer in the same membership
53 of that caused by pneumonia in the same membership.
43 of that caused by tuberculosis in the same membership
A modern war cannot be localized. Electricity, steam, and the partial conquest of the air, have
made the world so small that any great international upheaval shocks the whole of civilization. War
under such conditions takes its toll impartially, and in these days the nation which is an innocent
bystander" suffers proportionately with the belligerents.
' It is interesting to notice that this Company had, in seventeen months, war losses from seven
teen countries, and that what may be called AMERICAN LOSSES exceed those of any belligerent
country except in two instances:
United States (including Lusitania losses)
. Australia iJKJS
Austria-Hungary - Iggg
Belgium "'nnn
Canada 9,000
Great Britain , fJ.OOO
Russia 76,000
Only In France and Germany have thi totals exceeded those of our own country.
Life insurance isn't designed merely for times of peace. It would confess its inability highly to
ierve humanity if it did not measurably cover all the risk naturally incurred by healthy men.
DURING THE YEAR 1915 NO POLICY-HOLDER OR BENEFICIARY, WHEREVER RESIDENT,
WAS DENIED A REASONABLY PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF ANY JUST CLAIM. WE HAVE
IGNORED AND STILL IGNORE ALL MORATORIA, ALTHOUGH THESE REGULATIONS ARE IN
VOKED AGAINST US IN SOME PLACES.
In New Business we have done well. We have made good the natural shrinkage on an outstand
ing business of $2,347,000,000 at the close of 1914, and increased the total amount to $2,403,000,000
at the close of 1915.
Of the $214,000,000 new business paid for in 1915 over $200,000,000 was secured in the United
States and Canada.
NO BOND ISSUED BY ANY BELLIGERENT COUNTRY AND HELD BY US WAS IN DEFAULT
OF PRINCIPAL OR OF INTEREST AT THE CLOSE OF 1915.
Market values, as a whole, are a little lower than a year ago. Bonds of belligerent nations are
quoted in our Annual Statement at the market where a quotation was obtainable, otherwise and in
only one instance as of June 30, 1914.

NAVY BUILDS WIRELESS
HIGH-POWER STATIONS TO CON
NECT ISLAND POSSESSIONS.
Operatloa Expected to Begin la Janu
ary. 1917 System Also to Be Made
Available for the Public.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. Contracts
were approved today by Secretary Dan
iels for the construction of three high-
powered Naval wireless stations, one
each at San Diego, Cal.; Cavite. rnu
ippines. and Pearl Harbor. Hawaii, by
the Federal Wireless Company.
They will be used by the Navy for
Intercommunication in the Pacific and,
although constructed for use of tho
Government, will be open to public uss
under the same plan as other Naval
wireless stations. '
The system to be installed at the
three stations will be the same as that
now in use at the radio station at"
Darien, Canal Zone. Contracts for con
struction of towers were let -recently
and it is expected the new stations will
be ready for operation by January,
1917.
"The stations at Pearl Harbor and
Cavite," Secretary Daniels said, "will
be the most powerful in existence, as
the distance to be covered is 4700 miles.
"With the completion of these sta
tions and the smaller ones to be estab
lished at Guam and Tutuila. Samoa, the
Navy Department will be in immediate
touch by wireless with all of our Island
possessions."

Sutherlin capitalist, who holds a mort
gage of 1906 on the I D. Kinney prop
erties, between Marshfield and North
Bend, announces he will advertise and
sell the entire estate on a foreclosure
decree entered two years ago.
Mr. Waite's claim against the estate
Is about $300,000. and the taxes, penal
ties and interest Uua lh county and
municipality of North Bend amount to
$60,000 more. The mortgagee has asked
the county, city of North Bend and
the North Bend school district to remit
the penalties and interest on delin
quent taxes, which, in the rough, would
figure between $25,000 and $30,000, and
the county has agreed in part to the
proposal. A forced sale as Mr. Walte
prlposes will shut out most unsecured
creditors and many who supposed they
were secured.
