This mornings press contains a ref
j terence toa meeting held by the tugboat
linen yesterday at which Capt. George
4 l.. Norton. editor OF the Marine Jour
lgnal. presided Cant. Norton Is reputed
!. Ito have used the following language
:. The newspapers are doubtless re-
3 sponsible for the dissemination of the
tGmany incredible stories of cruelty. but
q we trust that no one Will push the
Inquiries as to who told the yarns .o
!, 1.-THE reporters. Our German friends are
!, known not TO be lacking in tact when
tlit comes to saving property. and the
Irumors may have been circulated for
J. 1.-THE purpose of escaping salvage.
II understand that it was intended
by this statement to convey the im-
preston to the public that the North
German Lloyd had instlgated the
stories of humanity on the part Of
lItugboat men for the purpose of exer-
Z cisng influence In the saving of sal
lSivage.
j I'm reply to this vile calumny so gra-
\ ltuitously hurled at US by Capt. Norton
! I would say neither nor any one III
authority under me has breathed a
: word of criticism to the press upon the
81 action Of the tugboat men in the awfu
catastrophe of last Saturday hav,
no desire to stir up this matter or I,
!. pay any attention to the many rumors
that are being circulated as to the al,
legged inhumanity shown.
II must demand from Capt. Norton {
J. public retraction and apology for thu
!. insulting language which .he has uset
I and ii it is not Forthcoming I will TAXI
steps to show him that he can not at
tack the honor of a reputable concern
: or of a respectable business man with
impunity."
