Navy reports an explosion in a compartment of the submarine E-2 while workers were nearby. No gas or gasoline aboard.

Washington jan 15 naval officers investigate cause of the B 2 explosion at the new york navy yard with one dead and the vessel heavily damaged. Early notes speculated Edison storage batteries caused hydrogen ignition but discharge tests weaken that theory. Experts cite possible oil explosion or air flask failure though evidence disturbs both. Acting Secretary Roosevelt says cause unknown as board studies battery deck incident and tests continue. Some officials discuss submerged compressed air operation with possible congressional funding for tests.
The crew endured gas exposure with Ensign Gillam treated at Las Animas Naval Hospital for months. E-2 boasted Hilson nickel tied batteries first tested December 7, and its commander Lieut Charles M Cooke III led extended surface run then submerged maneuvers. The vessel showcased improved speed with less fuel. H-2 and Eel were pioneering interior combustion engines and wireless telegraph gear. This accident marks the second major U S submarine tragedy after the F-4 loss in Honolulu Harbor last March, attributed to corroded battery piping and diving faults by a board of investigation.
