Schaller & SChniglau, the contractors
will take charge Of any Of the bodies
that may not be claimed and will see
that they receive proper care and final
disposition.
The jury will meet later for the pur-
pose of conducting the investigation.
The date Of the meeting of the iury
| for this purpose has not been fixed,
but it will probably be within ten days.
1t Is thought that it will require about
that time to summon witnesses and ar
range for their appearance before the
jury.
The disposition is to have the inves-
tgation at as early date as possible.
but this depends almost wholly upon
the recovery of the principal witness,
James Miller, the rescued miner, who
is at the Emergency hospital and is
doing as well as can be expected all
conditions being considered
1t is the intention to bring before the
jury all persons having any direct
! knowledge whatever either of the ac-
cldent or the manner in which The work
has been conducted with a view to
aScertaining the measure of protection
provided by the contractors for the
men employed. The investigation will
be conducted by the district attorney
who will be called in by the coroner
for the purpose.
Was Capt. Peterson unnecessarily
long in attempting to rescue the men
who were drowned at the intake crib?
The question is being asked by MANY
people, Notwithstanding the brave work
Of Capt. Peterson and the ife-sayins
crew later in the day. The crew did
not reach the crib until II O'clock The
alarm was given at o'clock Had the
lffe-saving crew reached the crib even
IN hour earlier the six men on the crib
would probably have been saved.
Capt. Napier and Foreman Barber
complain loudly about the delay i'm
getting the ife-bcat out. Capt Napier
says that If they had started when he
telephOned they could nave saved the
men who were seen on the crib. He
thinks they should have brought the
boat by land and put Out from the
beach. When one wagon broke they
ought TO have got another He thinks
q strong yaWi could have saved the,
men from the beach
Contractor r. A. Smaller was greatly
distressed by the accident, which he.
said was one Of those frightful catas-
trophies that nobody can prevent He
sad that they had done everything
they could for tire safety of tie men.
Their boat the Burroughs, had tried to
get the men Wednesday night, but had
failed. They thought the men would
be safe in the air chamber. He thought
the men who found their way to the top
could have been saved if help had ar
rived sooner and he was at a loss to TN
out sooner.
Regarding further operations at the
intake, Mr.. Slfailer stated this morning
that the work WOULD proceed as soon
rs the damage could be repaired and
Now machinery provided to take the
place OF that swept away. 1t may be
possible to recover the old machinery,
but there is some doubt as to whether
it will De fit for use again.
Mr.. Scliailer is aversp to talking about
the damage entailed although he was
induced to state that ne did not think
it would exceed $4,000 Referring to
the catastrophe he saitf it was one of
those things that no Tseln could fbrsee
OF guard against!

WHY NOT WISCONSIN?
f0Wa'S 0arSmCn Decide to CoE4pett
in The Lake Geneva Regatta

burlington, Iowa, April 21.-The IOWA
State Rowing association will NOT hold
Il state regatta this year This was
/ decided at Il meeting of the executive
committee in this city. The object of
| the meeting was to confer with a com
mittee nom the Chicago navy, Nitssl.s
{ Pratt and Essig, wto presented the
proposition from the Chicago oaiSmen
| for merging the Iowa state regatta
with the international regatta TO, be
held tins summer under he auspices
of the Chicago, Organization.
The Chicago navy is composed of
| twelve rowing and yacht clubs, which
have undertaken 30 arrange for a
regatta of worlds fair proportions. 1t
will be held On, one OF the three courses
at Lake Geneva, beginning August il
and continuing: seven and perhaps ten
days. The enterprise is big one, con-
tempiating as it does the bri aging Oh
oarsmen from the four corners of the
earth, but the navy is backed by large
subscriptions.
Inducements were offered the Iowa
! clubs in tie shape of hotel accOmlno-
daIonS, special STATE rates, etc: Ennis
saries have been sent to England Ger
many and Italy, and unofficial promises
| OF entries fron all those, countries
have been received. Another commits
ssDner is in the east arousing the in
| terest of the college men, and another
will start west shortly, where there
are several clubs to interest. Crews
from the Stanford University of Cali
fornia, Vancouver Olym pin and other
Pacific coast places have expressed
willingness 20 join with the Chicago
men.
Everything will be operated on alarge
scale. The course will have a break
water at an expense of several hundred
dollars, so that rough, water will be
no obstacle to speed and safety. Grand
stands Of great size will be erectved,
and Chicago band has been engaged
for the term of the regatta.
For the college crews there will be
a supreme trophy in the shape Of a
large and elegant silver cup, while for
individual oarsmen handsome gold med
ais have been designed.
After due deliberation the 1owans
accepted the proposition of the com
| mittee, and the Iowa State Rowing
| association will not, therefore, hold
an independent regatta this summer,
| but will assist in every way to make
the Lake Geneva meeting a great sue
cess. The committee adopted orange
as the association colors for the August
meeting, and directed that pennant
,. of that color be made with the letters
I. S. r. A in black.

An Impartial Inquiry Demanded.

From the Philadelphia Times.
In view Of the sudden and violent demon
stration Of personal hostility to Col. Ainsworth
manifested at the coroners inquest over the
bodies OF the unfortunate victims Of the Ford
Theater disaster in Washington, it Is fortunate
that a military court of inquiry is to follow the
coroner's inquest. The excitement and bitter
ness caused by the disaster will have somewhat
subsidized and it will be possible to get at the
cold facts In the case. The rotous outbreak
against Col. Ainsworth. most careful and eff
Gent medical officer. who had nothing to do
with the erection of public buildings, shows
that public feeling, at least among the crowds
| that frequent coroners' inquests. is wrought up
to pitch that renders a calm, judicial invosti-
CATION an impossibility at present.
For another reason than that of making tho
investigation after the heat of passion has
somewhat subsidized the military inq uiry is OPP
perfume. There is fearful responsibility rest
ing somewhere. Military courts are apt to in
vestigato without fear or favor, and their YER
diets for this reason usually comma nd respect
The responsibility for the loss of n score or
more of lives should be determined bv careful
investigation and fixed where it rightfully be-
longs. II officers of the War Department are
to blame, they should be exposed and held to a
strict account. II, seems more probable,
the real blame lies with Congress or other ci-
william influence. this fact should be brought
out so clearly that no charge of partisanship
favoritism or personal bias will lie against the
report There should be no insignificant scape-
goat to hide other peoples shortcomings.
neither should a coat Of whitewash be applied
to any one.
Pending this which must be the real investi-
cation into the responsibility for the disaster.
President Cleveland has very properly ordered
an examination of every building in which gov
eminent employees work to ascertain if possible
If there are any more human traps ready to

made apparent by this disaster already, and
| that is that in the mad rush Of Congressman
and Senators to secure millions for public
buildings in one-horse country towns the ex-
pansion Of the public business at Washington
has not been properly provided for. Buildings
have been rented and applied to public uses
that were never intended for other than private
residences, and it is quito within the bounds of
| possibility that some OF these structures may be
as dangerous as Ford s old theater

had any man taken the first step, it is certain
that tragedy would have been enacted. Fifty
men would have piled themselves on the man
sitting with pale but mistaken face and he
would in all possibility have never emerged
from the mass alive.
While the excitement was at its highest Mr..
b. II. Warner spranS on chair and his ap-
pearance stopped the first rush. Mr.. Warner
made himself heard and his words produced a
semblance of quiet.

Damages From the Government.

From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
The sudden collapse Of the Inflated building
formerly known as Ford's Theater at Washing
ton is one of the most appalling casualties of the
kind on record There we're between four and
five hundred men employed in the building at
the time and already the list of fatal casualties is
frightfully large. There were three floors in
the building and all went down at the same
time. The floors seem to have been heavily
laden with accumulated records, and the foun-
dations were weakened by excavations made for
celia: on an adjoining lot. 1t is said the build
ing had been condemned as unsafe, and IL this
be so it is not improbable that the government
will be called upon to pay heavy damages to
those injured and to the representatives of the
dead.

1t had grown to be such. Lieut.. Amiss was
utterly powerless to still the tumult.

Col. Ainsworth made a movement as il to rise.

Col. Ainsworth's Position.

From the New York Tribune today)
The proceedings yesterday at the inquest on
the victims of the Washington tragedy were
extraordinary. They would have been remark
able even without the outbreak against Col.
Ainsworth, which disclosed the dept b and in
tensity of the feeling against him us the man
responsible for endangering the lives of many
clerks and bringing score or more to their
death. His presence with lawyer at tn. in
quest showed that he appreciates the position
in which he finds himself placed. That the
clerks were in abject terror of their chief was
testified to by more than one. and it is ex-
tremely significant that Secretary Lamont
deemed it necessary to send letter assuring
the clerks that they would not leopard their
places by testIfying without restraint at the in
quest.

As fully reported in the postscript to yester-
days STAR there was wild excitement at the
inquest on the Ford's Theater disaster about
$50 o'clock. Throughout the day it could be
plainly perceived that there was intense feeling
against Col Ainsworth, who sat next the
coroner with his counsel The feeling, however,
did not break out in open action until late in
the afternoon, when the outbreak was precipi-
tated from clear sky. and for time it looked

Murderous Economy,

from the BaItlmOre American.
1t is pity that the direct government of the
District Of Columbia could not be arranged SO
that it would be in the hands Of men in whom
outside politics would not destroy interest in
the welfare of the District and its inhabitants,
and in whom the policy of economy would not
exist to a mRrderous extent. In body like
Congress responsibility is too shifting and too
scattering to be fixed with any satisfactory re-
suit

Criminal Negligence.

From the Pittsburgh Commercial 0sze.te.
The press of the country is almost unit in
declaring that the sacrifice Of life by the falling
of the OLD Ford's Theater building in Washing
ton was the result Of criminal negligence.
This proposition is too plain for argument. but
Il may be no easy matter to bring the &C: Of
negligence home to the persons who are
guilty.

Neglect Brings Ruin.

1t was most striking coincidence that ut the
time the last words were being uttered over the
body of Edwin Booth in New York scores OF
persons lay dead and dying in the ruins Of that
historic building where Booths brother fred
the fatal shot at President Lincoln. Those who
are superstitious will find much in the coinci-
dence to justify the serious impressions arising
from chance and accident. The simple senti-
ment Of superstition falls away. however. be-
fore the horrors Of that catastrophe in which
scores Of lives were destroyed and scores of
men injured. twas by the merest chance that
any of the occupants of the building were
saved. Those who were killed died out of re-
spect to n miserable sentiments sentiment
which demanded that an unsafe. unsound worn
out building should not be changed or strength
ened TO suit the new uses for which it was de-
signed.
1t is always easy to talk about responsibility
in such accidents. and it is always difficult to
FL the responsibility where it belongs. Even
If that is done in this case what good will il do?
Can it give life to the dead? Can il comfort
those who mourn? Can it restore power to the
permanently helpless? Can il give arms and
legs and nerves and sinews to those
who have been sacrificed? Not at all The
ledger account is all on one side, and any at
tempt TO change it must fail. This is the un-
fortunate part of 1t. The government IL rich
enough and able to provide safe quarters for its
employees. Failing in this. it should be obliged
to make restitution in SO far as lies within its
power. The catastrophe is a serious arraign-
ment Of government stupidity or careIessnesa
1t is most deplorable that such an accident
should have happened, when precautionary
measures could easily have warded of the in
evitable danger.
