Leased Wire U. S. SUBMARINE BASE, NEW LONDON, Oct. 2 The lives of the men who went down on the submarine S-51 were snuffed out almost immediately after she was rammed and sung by the steamer City of Rome off Block island a week ago tonight. The death toll stands at 33.

This was established today when divers found that the last two compartments in which it had been hoped there might have been air the motor and torpedo rooms were filled with water. None of the crew who went down' had a chance for their life. The submarine sank so quickly that they were unable to shut the water tight doors connecting the compartments and thus give themselves a fighting chance of being brought to the surface with their ship. The story of their efforts to save themselves never will be told. All that remains now for those who have toiled at the task of rescue, is to recover and identify the bodies after which the submarine will be turned over to wreckers for salvage.

Of the 36 men who were aboard the submarine when she was rammed, three were picked up alive and the bodies of four men have Company To Continue Operation Of Lines On Plioenix Streets Until October 31 $20,000 IS PAIDL City Manager Hitchcock Delivers Check In Payment To Sherman Rep-k resentatives Properties of Hie Phoenix Street Railway company of Arizona were ill for by the city of Phoenix when City Manager B. lliti Iikh Ic signed and delivered 1o represent uives of the Sherman inter- csts a heck for the pur- rhasf price agreed upon several weeks I Authorization for the sale, con- eliminated accord ins? to the terms of contract signed June 4, 1925. was t-iven vesterdav bv the Arizona Cor- poratiun Commission in a lengthy irder in which the street railway nvsotiations and the various turns they tok wet reviewed by the com- Navy Correspondence Shows Valve Change On Dirigible Authorized With Warnings i Xp7 Iff lw i ift- '-riiriiTiririiii wfZJk Lincoln'; -4 WASHINGTON; Oct. 2.

Tom Mason, engineer, is believed to have been killed and six negro workmen are missing as the result of a cave-in of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tunnel at Church Hill, today, 'trapped more than two score men engaged in reinforcing its walls.

Most of the workmen, however, dug themselves out of the fallen earth and crawled to safety, and police officials declared that little hope was held for any remaining in the tunnel. Gases drove the rescue workers from the tunnel shortly after nightfall and it wa believed that any who may be entombed in the passageway could not survive the fumes. Officials indicated that rescue operations would not be resumed until tomorrow. The fact that those who escaped were hurried to homes or hospitals prevented officials from making any accurate check of the men who were in the tunnel when the slide came. Engineer Mason is believed to be buried in hi locomotive which was completely covered with frth.

His brakeman, D. F. Moseley, and A. G. Adams a brakeman, both escaped.

They were severely scalded by steam which poured from the twisted boiler ot the engine. C. S. Kelso, another brakeman, also was injured badly.

2. (A. Councilmen of the inter-parliamentary Union, meeting after the conference sessions had adjourned for the day, decided unanimously tonight that the Union would not appeal to the United States to join the league of nations, ask the league to revise its covenant, or espouse adoption of a world language. During the day, conference sessions at the i apitol and later In the hall of the Pan-American Union were marked by a variety of discussions, including the Saklatvala incident, which was injected into the otherwise peaceful proceedings, supres-sion of by concerted in ternational action, control of international trust, and the Pan-American Union. At the same time, Earon Theodor-Adelswaerd, of Sweden, president of the council, refused admission to the conference sessions of Miss Mary MacSwiney.

Irish Republican advocate. His action was taken after he had referred the question of Mrs. MacRwiney's admission to members of the Irish Free State delegation and obtained their approval. Ben Riley, British labor parliamentarian, introduced the Saklatvala case. With applause from a half dozen colleagues in the British group and as many more in the German delegation, Mr.

Riley told the conference that unless it enabled all its members to enjoy equal rights and contribute to the work the Union stood for. confidence in It would be destroyed. S.

Bolshe-. vism is a crime, he said, adding that it was anti-religious and destroyer of patriotism. He was joined in his attack by Sidney Schopfer, acting president of the delegation from Switzerland. While members of the Union's council efralned from making any official statement on their action at tonight's meeting, it was said Informally by some that the decision reached finally disposed of the motion laid before the conference by Carl Lindhagen of Sweden.

Mr. Lind-hagen had asked the conference to declare itself in favor of a united humanity and for a general revision of the covenant of the league of nations so that "the covenant may give a true expression of the alius of the lettsue." FOB LOST MAIL PLANE IN HILLS BELLEFONTE. Oct. 2. (A.

An all-day search today failed to reveal any traces of an air mail plane which was due in Bellefonte from New York at 11:30 o'clock last night. The search continued tonight, but with little hope of success before tomorrow. The airplane, piloted by Charles H. Ames, was the regular night plane from New York to Chicago. It left New last night about 9:40 o'clock, ten minutes late, under favorable weather con--ditlons.

As It sped westward, however, conditions changed rapidly and low hanging "clouds overspread the Susquehanna valley. But the pilot hung to his course and the plane was reported by the watchman as having passed over Hartleton, thirty miles from the local landing field, at 11:30 p. m. This was the last heard of it. Searching parties were sent out this morning along the line between Bellefonte and Hartleton.

Members of the crew from the Bellefonte field who knew the course are in charge, but no trace of the missing ship was discovered. Two airplanes sent from Cleveland reached here this afternoon, but the clouds were hanging so low over the mountains that they could not be sent out to search. According: to the watchman at Hartleton, the lost plane was apparently working all right when it crossed that place. Local officials said it was possible that in the low-hanging clouds the pilot got off his course and may havo passed Bellefonte and was forred down in. the Allegheny mountains, MM Seeking By MAX STERN MEXICO CITT.

His radical bent of mind caused him to fall into disfavor with Dictator Diaz and he resigned to take up farming.

Although the tenseness of the French-American debt funding negotiations had faded from the picture today, the results of the conferences which were concluded yesterday stood out above all other discussion in official circles.

Au thorization for the change in the i gas valve system in the airship Shenandoah was given by the navy department bureau of aeronautics with some reluctance and by way of experiment and was accompanied by warnings "that the innovation would furnish an added reason for cautious operation of the vessel. This is shown by official correspondence on the subject passing between the bureau and Commander Lansdowne, captain of the Shenandoah, which was read into the record of the naval court of inquiry here today by Lieutenant Commander hi. Ro.ieudahl, senior sitirviv-Ug officer at the direction of Judge Advocate Foley. Writing at the direction ot Rear Admiral William A. Aloffett, chief of the bureau.

Captain E. S. Land of the construction corps, warned Commander Lansdowne on May 28 that the modified arrangement of the automatic afety valves "is not as fool proof as the original installation." He added that the proposed arrangement "imposes an added reason for cautious operation of the ship near pressure Height." Although Commander Lansdowne personally made the recommendation for the change and was somewhat insistent upon having authority to go ahead with its installation, it was developed through oral testimony later that the change had the approval of all of the other officers of the Shenandoah and had been agreed upon only after long discussion and careful study of the behavior of the huge craft on her Pacific coast and other flights. The argument was that the new system would save both weight arid helium without endangering the ship. Whether the reduction of the number of automatic gas valves in the ship from the original 18 to 8, did in fact furnish a contributing cause to the disaster Is one of the questions the court will have to decide.

Captain Anton Heinen, termer German Zeppelin pilot- has insisted that it did, while officers of the ship and some experts have taken an opposite view. Testifying today, Lieut- Geogre V. Whittle, a gas cell specialist, expressed the conclusion that the helium filled cells could not have been sufficiently distended after gas had been valved to have damaged the hull of the ship before the crash occurred.

COURT IS WON Br PHI MONTROSE, Oct. 2 (A. P.I The federal government lost the first round in a test suit on the right of a water user on the Uncompahgre reclamation project to divert water to more acres than called for in his right, by a ruling of United States District Court Judge J. Foster Symes here today. Judge Symes decided that James A.

Rexroad, a farmer on the project, had the right to use water to irrigate 50 additional acres beyond his alloted right for the irrigation of 40 acres. The government, had contended that this was an excessive use of water, as Rexroad had been granted a right to only 40 acres and by irrigating 50 additional acres, he was depriving other farmers on the project of their just share of water. United States District Attorney George Stephan announced after the decision that the case would be appealed to the circuit court of appeals and, if lost there, to the supreme court The case is considered of great Interest to irrigation farmers of the West.

The specific charges against Colonel Mitchell probably will be drawn under the article of war providing penalties for officers on conviction of charges of conduct to the prejudice ot godtl order and military discipline.
