$-51 PROBE MOVED
TO U. S. NAVAL BASE
Submarine Officers Quizzed.
City of Rome’s Captain
Criticized for Course.
By the Associated Press.
NEW LONDON. Conn., October 14.
• —lnvestigation into the sinking of the
submarine S-51, Which has lieeti in
progress ih Boston, was transferred
here yesterday, when members of the
i'nited States steamboat inspector's
office questioned a number of wit
nesses. The S-51 sank off Block Island
on the night of September 25 after a
collision with the steamer City of
Rome of the Savannah Line.
The inquiry yesterday was conduct
ed by Herman L. Parker, inspector
of hulls, and John Stewart, inspector
of boilers, both of Boston.
Llaut. Co adr. J. A. Brownell of the
eubmnrine division of which the S-51
was o;i.. aed said there was no ques
tion that the submarine was being
operated from the bridge and not from
the conning tower, it being necessary
only to navigate the vessel from the
conning tower in very rough weather.
Raps City of Rome.
Lieut. P. L. Mather, duty commu
nication officer at the submarine base
here on the night of the disaster,
testified that he was unable to estab
lish communication with the City of
Rome and that much valuable time
was lost in the attempt. In his opin
ion the City of Rome should have
remained at the scene of the accident
until daylight.
Dewey G. Kile, one of the three
men picked up by the City of Rome
lifeboat after the collision, again told
the story of his experience after thf
two boats collided. He was awak
ened, he said, when a piece of cork
struck him in the face. The water,
he said, quickly rose in the compart
ment to his knees. It was coming in
from the floor, showing that the sub
marine had been damaged below the
water line, he said. The hatch in
the conning tower was the only one
open and reached the deck through
this. Within 10 seconds he was hurl
ed into the sea.
In Water 45 Minutes.
The only person he saw in the |
water, he testified, was a torpedo |
mail. Frank C. Wiseman of South !
Boston. Kile was in the water 45
minutes before he was picked up by
the City of Rome lifeboat.
The members of the inquiry board
after the hearing visited the subma
rine S-49 to question the electrician
regarding the method of lighting the
craft.
The inquiry here yesterday com
pleted the steamboat inspector's of
fice Investigation of the disaster. Its
report will be forwarded to Washing
ton.
legend of a Brazen Head.
From the Detroit yews.
Roger Bacon spent seven years con
structing a brazen head which he
fancied would tell him how to sur
round the Island of Great Britain with
a wall of brass, according to a legend
prevalent in the Middle Ages. This
head was to speak within a month
after its completion, hut no special
hour was set for its so doing. Bacon,
accordingly, set his servant to watch
especially enjoining him to notify his
master in case the head should speak.
At the end of the first half hour '
the servant heard the head exclaim: j
"Time is”; at the end of the second
half hour. ‘‘Time was,” and at the end i
of the third half hour, "Time's past”:;
whereupon it fell with a loud crash
and was shattered to pieces. The
servant neglected to call Bacon, think- |
ing he would not care to be disturbed
for such a trifle, and thus the knowl- !
edge necessary to build the brazen :
wall was never acquired.
Only Places Left.
From the New Orleans States.
There seems to he no doubt that the ’
day is approaching when, as their
name Implies, the parks will he used
for parking.

( How to Keep it Thick 5
The constant curling and waving ;
demanded by modern style in hair j
dress, slowly burns the color, luster j
and very life from the hair, leaving ;
it dry. faded, brittle, streaked with j
gray; then the hair roots shrink
and the hair falls out fast.
A .15 cent bottle of refreshing, j
fragrant ‘Danderine” will do won
lers for any gairl's hair. This vital
izing beauty-tonic acts on the hair j
ke fresh showers of rain and sun
nine act oil vegetation. It goes j
ght to the roots, invigorates, I
| nourishes and strengthens them. I
j helping the hair to grow thick,
j healthy and luxuriant.
