Maine Wreck Evidence Points to Under keel Explosion
Reports from Havana and Newport state a navy board finds conclusive evidence the Maine disaster originated beneath the keel with the magazines playing a minor role. Diver work, wreck analyses, and expert testimony by Powellson and others support an underground origin and note untouched copper powder tanks, the torpedo tube location, and damaged but largely destroyed magazines. Navy department updates include manpower shifts, coastal defense plans, and relief talks for Maine survivors.

Stage Employes May Spark National Theatrical Walkout

The group joined the national alliance of stagehands and workers allied with federated trades. Joseph Hyde instigated a replacement of Yosemite’s stage carpenter, triggering a work refusal from the new crew. Sympathy actions could pull patronage from the circuit and unite unions across the state in possible joint action.
