ESCAPE FROM SUNKEN SUB IN SAFETY TEST Success in Forty Feet of Water; Crew to Try Again Twice as Deep. Br Radio to I'niltd Proto ABOARD THE U. S. S. S. MALLARD, Feb. 6.—Navy men rejoiced today over the success of the most hazardous undersea test ever undertaken—escape from a submerged submarine—and prepared to try it again in seventy-five feet of water. The escape was made Tuesday through use of a gas-mask-hke invention of Lieutenant C. H. Momsen, who following Chief Torpedoman Edward Kolinowski, left the undersea craft through a safety door in its hull and a few moments later bobbed to the surface of the water. The tests were made using the submarine S-4 and over them hung somewhat the same atmosphere as appalled a nation nearly a year ago, when the ship sank in the Atlantic with the loss of her entire crew. The feeling was not dispelled until the head of Kolinowski bobbed oh the surface of the Gulf of Mexico off Key West where the tests are being made. A few seconds later the. head of Momsen appeared and a cheer arose from watching naval men. The men before them had risked their lives that others might be safe. When work ceased for the afternoon escapes had been made from the motor room and torpedo rooms of the S-4, at a depth of forty feet. After each escape the two men entered the submarine the same way, closing the safety hatch behind them. After the experiments, Commander P. H. Dunbar, in charge of the tests, issued a statement saying the tests had been even more successful than expected and that they proved conclusively a man wearing the recent invented navy "lung” can escape from any compartment of a submerged submarine equipped with the safety hatch installed on the S-4.

UTILITY QUIZ END NEAR Federal Commission to Turn Attention to California Films. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The federal trade commission Feb. 14 will begin what promises to be the last and also one of the most interesting phases of its investigation of propaganda methods of public utility companies. The commission will turn its attention to California, where public power development has progressed farther and been fought more bitterly than in any other state. In 1923 the California state senate conducted an inquiry of its own into power company propaganda methods, and the first witness the trade commission will hear is Senator Herbert C. Jones, who was chairman of the investigating committee. Served in War With Father Bp Times Special PRINCETON, Ind., Feb. 6.—John W.
