official duties. He said that he would have
some recommendations to make to tho
President in his annual report as a resuit
of the visit. but did not care to reveal them
at this time.
The Bath Iron Works were visited. and
there the secretary saw in the course Of
construction an iron ship, made Of haterial
imported from England under II proyi-
sions of the law which authorizes duty free
of material for shipbuilding. This was the
first instance to his knowledge of the
building of a ship in this country with such
material.
Secretary Herbert said that the gunboat

of the most useful and best fitted of the

now nearing completion there. and would

FORD'S THEATER SURVIVORS.
The Recent AssOcia tion and What It
Objects Are

Speaking to Star reporter this afternoon OF
the object Of the association formed by the
surviving clerks Of the Ford's Theater building
disaster, President7Geo. J. Drew and Secretary
II. B. Harlan Of the association explained
that as the association had only been
organized few days ago, no definite plans had
yet been determined upon. They stated that
the present member ship was twentv-piue. and
1t was not doubted that all Of the surviving in
1ured men would become members. The as
sociation had been formed for q tvo-fold
purpose, the securing from the government
OF that aid justly due the injured survivors and
the families Of those killed. and the placing
before the country and Congress OF the mem
bers Of the association in such light as would
ehectually contradict the stories Of alleged sell
nsh and unwarranted claims, said to have been
demanded by the survivors.
No extravagant claims would be made in auy
instance by members Of the association. only
that being asked for which common humanity
dictated should be granted The members Of
the association felt that some provision should
De made by Congress for the families Of thosa
killed and for those injured.
That much seemed to be universally con-
coed but In what shape or to what extent that
provision should be made WAS . matter for fu-
ture consideration by the association.
meeting would be held next Wednesday at
2 o'clock at No. l6 9Th street southwest when
the membership Of the association would be
largely increased and when the object and
plans OF the association would be more fully
determined upon.
At the present time it was thought probable
that, instead Of appealing directly to Congress.
the association would delay proceeding IN the
matter until after the Secretary of War had
acted.
Chief Clerk Brown of the records and pen-
sion bureau stated that he only knew of the
association from what he had read
In The Star. He said he did
not know what provision would be made by
the department in the cases Of those clerks
absent more than three months, although he
thought that with possibly two or three excep-
tlons all injured would return by that time
