WARSHIP'S 6UN EXPLODES; FIVE SEAMEN KILLED Giant U. S. Battleship Is Rocked as 5-lncher Is Blown to Bits. B’i United Vrrn SAN PEDRO, Cal., Nov. 6—An officer and three seamen were killed aboard the U. S. S. Colorado Thursday when an anti-aircraft gun exploded during target practice as the superdreadnaught returned here from maneuvers off Santa Rosa. The hail of steel that swept the upper deck of the battleship wounded nine others, four critically. Explosion of a shell in a half-open breech was blamed for the explosion. The blast tore the gun to pieces and the huge ship was rocked from stem to stern. The Injured were being cared for In the hospital ship Relief, today as a board of inquest and a board of inquiry prepared to meet aboard the Colorado which rode in the harbor with flags half-masted. Censorship Is Established Navy officers established a censorship regarding details of the tragedy. The dead and injured, reported on the official navy list: Killed —Lieutenant Ralph F. Bradford Jr., Pontiac, 111.; Louis A. Clark, seaman second class, Los Gatos, Cal.; Maurice Hawkics, seaman first class, Hastings, Mich.; J. J. Schnur, seaman first class, St. ■ Louis. Critically Insjured—Lieutenant J: G. Winston Quattlebaum; Ensign John D. Huntley, R. O. Duff, seaman first class; G. E. Swift, seaman first class. Seriously Injured—Seamen first class, H. J. Hinton Jr., R. Kowalski, C. V. Stover, H. E. Lutz, W. H. Duval. Maryland Officer Hurt The Colorado’s five-inch automatic anti-aircraft guns were firing at a sleeve towed by airplanes. In some manner, the breach block on the gun failed to lock after five shots had been fired, and the shell exploded in the half-open breech, blowing the gun to pieces. All the victims were struck by flying bits of metal, it was said. At almost the moment that the blast of steel killed and maimed the Colorado gun crew, a noncommissioned officer aboard the nearby Maryland was injured, probably fatally, when crushed by a gun. The officer, J. J. Plummer, turret gun captain, Winchester, Ky., was instructing recruits in elevating guns. Anew sailor started elevating a gun while Plummer was beneath it. Plummer, also removed to the Relief, was not expected to live. NAME TEACHERS FOR KIRSHBAUM COURSES Five Classes to Open Next Week at North Side Community Center.
