That' was learned today although no official decision was given out by Sir Kdwnrd Hidden, who heads the commission. It was also said today that a committee of American bank ris my be Invited here to participate In Vie' conference after It resumes next Wednesday. If the Joint conference is ultimately held It may result In new methods being outlined to prevent the possible influx of fraudulent bills In the future.

' . r CAUSE OF ACCIDENT Official Investigation of North Dakota Accident Oil, Being Tried for Fuel Exploded, Killing Three -Men Outright, and Injuring Ten Others Some Sensa. tioiml Reports. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, Sept. 9 The ollicial investigation into the fatal accident on board the battleship North Da kota in which three men were killed outright and ten others Injured, got under way today. It is in the han.ds of the following ollicers of the Meet, appointed by Read Admiral Schroe der: Captain C. A. Core, of the Del aware, senior officer; Lieutenant Commander C.V. Price, of the Dela ware and Lieutenant Commander A. M. Proctor, of the Connecticut. It was stated simultaneously with the beginning of the probing that, the cause of the exploslou in the fuel oil system, would not be made public only until the investigation is com plete. rnotlicially it is reported that care lessness on the part of some one In the stoke room will be shown and the explosion may have a far-reach ing effect on account of the fact tliat oil was being tried out with a view to making It n supplemental fuel for na val use in the future., Whether the navy department will continue to use oil will be made known it. is believed, at the. same time that the report on the North Dokata's accident is given to the pub lic.'- ."";' Engineer officers, although in structed not to talk, said that tile ac cident was undoubtedly the result of a leak in the supply pipes and that fire was communicated to the oil during a test to the apparatus under boiler No. 1. " The wounded are on board the hos pital ship Solace and the North Da kota now lies at Hampton Roads, which point she reached early this morning. As a result of the accident the North Dakota will hardly be able to sail from Hampton Roads on Satur day with the first division of the fleet to take part in battle practice off the Virginia coast. Additional reports, some of a sen sational nature, were circulated at Fort Monroe and elsewhere . today. One of them said that fire raged in the Are room of the North Dakota for hours following the explosion before the flames were quenched. Rear Ad miral Schroeder in command of the fleet of which the North Dakota ttis a part, gave orders that officers of the ill-fated vessel should not discuss the accident in the presence of newspaper men. Captain Cleaves, in command of the North Dakota, is consequently silent. - Unofficially no blame is attached to Captain Cleaves, He has been In the United States naval service for thirty-seven years and for nine years he was at sea.
