The message received today asked if oxygen and emer gency food -supplies could not be pushed through the torpedo tube, and another asked: "Is there any hope?" ; ;; Gale Intrmpts"Work ' Communication was Interrupted today. A diver had been seriously injured. After he had been res cued from a perilous position- in tangled wreckage 100 feet beneath the surface, the gale kicked up such terrific waves that It was im possible to continue diving opera tions. . .';' Meanwhile a discovery w as made which led to even graver fears forXhe men down under the ocean. The airline through which It had been thought they were be ing given means to breathe was not functioning as had been de aired. " The mine sweeper Falcon had hooked an airline to a connection with one of the two air lines on the S-4 opening into the torpedo room. The men inside signalled that when they opened the valve, water instead of air came in. f ' (' Diver's Lines Tangle It was when diver L. C. Mich aels went down to try to connect the air line with a second line on 'the submarine that his lines, be came fouled and he was caught in the tangle. He was- unconscious wben hauled up. The connection was not made, r- - The Gift That Lasts ? ELSINORE ; and , OREGON SCRIPT BOOKS 5.00-84.50 The irmr of men aboard the rescue fleet was helpless while the rain . rp-i anil Michaels needed hospital attention. So Rear Admir al Frank H. Brumby, aboard the Falcon and In charge of operations decided to make a run to Boston. The Falcon made a quick trip to the Charlestown navy yard and Michaels waa taken to the naval hospital at Chelsea where it was said tonight he probably would re cover. . i v Admiral Brumby held a hasty conference with Rear Admiral Philip Andrews, commandant of the yard.. Then the Falcon, with more supplies aboard hurried back to Provincetown. , . Rescuers Helpless Could the men down below sur vive another night? Tfect was the question in the minds of the res cuers as they stood helplessly by. Perhaps the best opinion obtain able was that voiced in Washing ton by Lieutenant .Charles B. Momsen, submarine expert of the navy.-- :-t ' ; Under 1 favorable conditions, he said, the men -could last until ear ly Wednesday morning. : The rescuers continued to work frantically on preparations for ef forts to raise the submarine llkei ly to prove a : long, wearisome task. Pontoons arrived on ; the scene late today. Chains and gear came from the Charlestown navy yard. Everything, pointed to a night of intense activity. Tragic News in Code The terrifying " news . of the break in the , air line of the S-4 was received by the same system of dots and dashes which had brought the hopeful message that six still lived in the torpedo com partment at the forward end of the submarine. , . It was this latter message which ended with the urgent: "Please hurry, will you be long now?" The air line of the S-4 Is a pipe about one and a half Inches in diameter running from one end of the ship to the other and afford ing an outside connection near the conning tower. The line is design ed to carry air to men in the va rious compartments when the sub marine is beneath the surface. In each' compartment is a gag valve, a email wedged-ehape piece ot met al, which usually is left open, so that air can be forced Into the com partment in any emergency.' Line Brines Oalr Water With this line unbroken the Imprisoned men could be fed life giving air . indefinitely. 14 was to the external' connection' . of . this vein, of life that divers last night bent all their efforts. s ; "Try your gag valve, the Fal eon messaged to the . imprisoned men a' hundred feet beneath the surface. The answer came that the valve admitted water when open- ed, that it must be kept closed to save the men - from -. the water which, would force its way: Into their compartment from" abreak In the line in some other part of the ship. That answer , dimmed hopes for a speedy rescue, ' but it nerved ' to determined defiance of all elements in the attempt to suc cor tne men "down there. : Into the chill waters Diver Mich ael was lowered while bobbing lights only punctured the dark ness. He carried a hOM -which he intended to connect with the air line tap. near the conning tower.

Diver Nearly Killed Twenty minutes later he I mes saged his, lines- were fouled and Dtver Sady who had made his trip below was let down again to cut Michael free with a hack saw. It was three hours later and near ly midnight when the two , were brought up. the. air line to supply air for breathing unconnected and Michael nearly dead from expo sure and rapid return to the surface. Meanwhile a faint ray of hope had come from another air line from the Falcon which divers had attached to another external con' nectlon on the submarine. This connection led to the ballast tanks from which the submarine, under normal conditions pumps water when she Is to come to the sur face. Bubbles came to the surface In great quantity when the Falcon pumped air down this line, show ing, naval men said, that at least one ballast tank was free of wa ter. Had It been possible to pump all ballast tanks free of water the return of the wrecked boat to the surface would at least have been made much easier. ' Pumps Worked all Night ' Throughout the night this pumping to the ballast tank con tinued while wind and gale, as if eonspirlnng to drive off those who would rescue the men which -the sea had within its power, muster ed mightier and mightier force to spray ice and toss the little craft from which the rescue was being directed.- t Wind and weather won and with day forced temporary cessation of the gallant effort.

Alderman Dancy, chairman of the fire and - Water committee, is beginning to fear that he will meet similar opposi tion when he attempts to locate the flrefstatlone in North, South, and East Salem, r While the stations when com pleted might be even more beau- tul in architecture than adjoining residences, people in other cities have opposed them because of the noise resulting wnen canea out on a fire, and because of the firemen sitting out In front of the -station. Bids on a new pumper were opened and read at . the council meeting last night, four firms sending, in offers. They were re ferred to the fire and water com mittee.

With a decision of the council to consider other business besides the budget at the special meeting Wednesday night,, it is possible that the committee may report its recommendation, and the pumper be purchased immediately, mark lng the first step in the fire- pro tection Improvement program. The pumper will replace temporarily an old engine at the central sta tion needing repair, but will be placed In one of the new. stations as soon as one is available.

"ThS Vigours OpardL" "The Beggar's Opera, which will be presented at the Elainore theater for one night, December 27, has perhaps the most remark able history of any work in a mu sical setting designed for the stage. Written by John Gay and produced at Lincoln's Inn theater. London. January 172 S. the opera was intended as a satire on the politics and criminal laws of the day. Actually it is not an opera at all in the modern sense of the word, but is rather a musical nlay. The basic reason for this long evity. 1728-1928. is doubtless that the work is founded, not upon the things of the moment, but upon those which exist eternally In hu man life. In the prologue the beg gar himself boastfully informs the audience that not one person Id his opera is honest; "there not an honest man or woman in it, hut all is human.". All the characters are drawn from the ranks of criminals, and these gentry and their relation to the law have not materially chang ed even in two centuries. All be tray the same origin as one meets in the pages of Dickens. A sugges tion made to Gay by Dean' Swift on the possibilities of "a pastoral on the lives of those at Newgate" did not materialize, but "The Beg gar's upera, using these same characters, did. - In the revised version Frederic Austin .wrote additional airs and new settings for some of the. old music; and Bennett, is -revising the Hbretto, halted welt this side of prudery, yet maintained the wit and the sparkle ot the original. The scenery and costumes were designed by the late Claud Lovat Fraser. In selecting his characters Gay went to the lowest extreme of the social scale, because at that time all plays and opera had to do with persons In high places, and the very novelty of the situation might have explained its furore at the time ot presentation.
