An epic story of heroism in a trapped submarine was read yesterday before a tense and silent House of Commons. It was the report from the commander in chief of the British navy in China telling of the last hours of the submarine Toseidon, which plungred to the bottom, off Wei-haiwei, last month with a loss of 20 lives. In simple, unadorned English it told how the men worked in a flooded compartment, with the water rising slowly about them, while one of their officers kept them in good spirits and directed their escape through the hatchway.

Five officers and 30 men were saved, among them the six who escaped by means of the Davis "lung" apparatus after they had been imprisoned for several hours. The hero of the episode, according to the report, was Petty Officer Willis torpedo gunner's mate who ordered the men to shut themselves inside the forward compartment in almost total darkness while the ship lurched to the bottom. Willis first said prayers for himself and his companions and then ordered them to put on their escape apparatus, making sure that they all knew how to use it While the compartment was slowly flooding. Willis kept the men cheerful although the oxygen was Prepare for Fost-Gazetta up of "it in its -z I'll 1 1. i 1 Glenna Collett, five times shown with her husband, Edwin Canada, where they are spending Aosocmn-d l'rei- Miss Lena Mae Rae of Dunedin.

Man Dead" Nine Hours, Finds Death "Oblivion" Night of Love and Sun Baths Wreck Marital Happiness Special to the Pittsburgh Post-Gaxette and the Chicago Tribune. PHILADELPHIA, July 8. (Universal Service.) "Death is just oblivion peaceful oblivion and a long sleep in which there are no dreams." So declares William Dugan.

Dugan should know. He was "dead" for nine hours. He was "drowned" in a lake at Laurel Springs, late Saturday, and when fished out was to all appearances without the slightest spark of life. Two doctors said he was dead. His pulse had stopped completely and his jaws had clamped.

Nevertheless, Dr. Harold P. Coxon, of Stratford, N. JM decided to take him to the hospital of Dr. Frank P.

Stone. Both doctors suspect that drowned persons sometimes can be brought "back to life" if enough effort is expended. They used strong hypodermics, trying to jolt his heart back into action. They used a pulmotor and wrapped him in blankets lined with hot water bags! Nine hours later Dugan opened his NEW YORK, July 8.

One able seaman told Willis that his oxygen flask was exhausted as he could no longer hear it bubbling.

"That's all right" said Willis, "you can't hear anything in mine and there's plenty left." After two hours and ten minutes, with the water reaching the men's knees the first two seamen were shot through the escape apparatus. One died immediately but the other was picked up alive by a rescue craft. In another hour, when the water had reached the men's necks, Willis, with three others, shot to the surface. "From the evidence," said the report, which was read by First Lord the Admiralty A. V.

Alexander, is abundantly clear that the courage and fortitude with which all these men in the darkness of the slowly flooding compartment faced a situation more than desperate, was accord with the very highest traditions of the service. "The coolness, confidence, ability and power of command shown by Willis, which no doubt was principally responsible for saving so many valuable lives, was deserving of the very highest praise." Then, while the House murmured admiration, 'Alexander added that the admirality was considering "suitable recognition" of those concerned.

The atory that the lost Dauphin of France, ion of Louis XVI, was smuggled to America and had a son who was reared by John Calhoun was discounted today by A. S. Salley, secretary of the South Carolina Historical Commission. The story Is an old one." Mr. Sal-ley said, "but there is no foundation for it."

CLEARWATER, July 8. The lost Dauphin of France, son of the ill-fated Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, was not a victim of the revolution, according to Mrs. Madeline Buchanan Gill, but escaped to Canada and had a son who was reared by John C. Calhoun. The commonly accepted story la that the Dauphin died in prison, but the version of Mrs.

Gill, a social leader here, is based on documents of the late Princess De Montglyon of Belgium, whose estate is now in litigation In Tampa. Mrs. Gill said that after the beheading of Marie Antoinette In 1794 the Countess Caharras used her wiles on her lover, Barras, an official of the new republican regime, to smuggle the youth to Naples. Due Dava-rsy interfered and took the Dauphin to a chateau near Paris from where he was subsequently spirited away by Count Charles Mercy Argenteau. an ancestor of the Trincess De Montglyon.

Disguised as a girl, the Dauphin was taken to Holland by the count and then to Canada by the wife of the Duke of Orleans. The wife of the duke assumed the name of Madame De Rion and the Dauphin was called Henry De Rion, Aa Henry De Rion the Dauphin Joined the British army, married Margaret Hunter in 1817, and died the following year six months before the birth of his son, James Henry De Rion. Through Count Argenteau, according to Mrs. Gill, t'alhoun was informed of the Dauphin's presence in Canada and later became guardian of his son. Meanwhile Royalists loyal to the pre-revolutlon regime plotted a restoration, first of the Dauphin and then of the Dauphin's son.

but all their plans failed. So the Iauphin'a son grew to manhood with the Calhoun family in South Carolina as James Henry De Rion. married Mary Catherine Wier at Harrisburg, ra on December 11. 1851. and died in Wlnnsboro, in 18SS.

But he remembered "drowning." He rose in his canoe to get a cig-aret and he slipped. His head struck the side and he fell into the water. "I felt a sharp pain and then saw millions of lights," Dugan said. "They kept flashing as I dropped into the water. I swam a few strokes, but my head and breath were in a whirl.

The supreme court of Illi nois may be called upon to decide whether it was a hard clod or just a handful of loose dirt which John Watson hurled at the mayor's dog.

Til appeal the case to the highest court if necessary." declared Attor ney Miles Odle, after his client, Watson, a former deputy sheriff, was fined $5 and costs by Judge William Wallace, who studied the case for almost a week before giving a de cision. The case involving the Mayor's dog originated on June 27, when the mayor's daughter, Mrs. Thelrna Rich creek Alklre, complained that while she was walking along the street with her father's dog, Watson threw "a hard clod" at the canine. "It was only a handful of loose dirt, and it didn't hurt him any," was the defense of Watson when the mayor, E. H.

Richcreek, declared nobody could throw clods at his dog and "get away with it." Richcreek, a retired farmer and business man, has gained consider able fame in Eastern Illinois by serving his city for 50 cents a year. He often claims jokingly that he's "worth every cent of it." Watson's first trial on the clod-hurltng charge was before a jury, but the jurors could not agree as to whether it was a clod or just dirt that he threw. By agreement of the opposing counsel, the case then was retried before Judge Wal- Jlace without a Jury. Photo shows Miss Elizabeth Lloyd of Quantico, who was to have married Elmer Able last week.
