City Of Seattle-yictorian Collision Case
Summarily Dismissed.


The testimony in the collision case be-
Victorian was reviewed by Captain Lub-
here a few days ago, and the result was
that he threw the case out.
The collision occurred about three
months ago while both vessels were COM
ing from Tacoma. A vast amount of testi-
mony was taken by the local inspector in
the case. 1t became apparent as the in
vestigation progressed that the officials Of
the companies on both sides would prefer
having let the matter drop, and this
fact, taken in connection with the
further fact that the testimony was
such a mass of contradictions that it
was impossible to arrive at reasonable
knowledge Of the true circumstances, Cap
tain Bryant says, led Captain Lubbock to
the conclusion that the best way to dis
pose of it was to throw it out.
Another subject Captain Lubbock looked
into was the practice of allowing passen-
ger steamers to carry oil. Captain BRYANT
says the law provides that passenger
steamers can only be permitted 10 carry
oil to points not touched by freight
steamer or railroad but there being
practically no exclusive freight
boats on the Sound, il has
been the custom to permit passenger
steamers to carry oil indiscriminately.
Captain Lubbock took exception TO this.
and reminded the inspectors that they
were leaving themselves liable by such a
course. But when Captain Bryant in turn
reminded him that passenger steamers
were constantly bringing oil up from San
Francisco, the very district in which he
resides. while there were plenty of freight
boats and railroad to ship it on. he was
disposed 10 take a more charitable view of
the practice Of the local inspectors in the
matter. The result Will be, however, that
the law on the subject will be more risidIy
