OF LAX DISCIPLINE

for Their Deaths.

Sloat of Haverstraw, today gave the
following verdict in the Iona Island ex-
plosion:
Il. c. S. Sloat, one OF the coroners of

cation of the death of J. e. Brown. G.
w. Morehead, Fred Locke. James Con-
molly. Fred Ward. and Patrick Curran
at Iona Island. on the 4th of November.
1903, have viewed their dead bodies and
made inquiry respecting their deaths.
and do hereby declare myself satisfied
that their deaths were caused by the
explosion of gunpowder, probably
through the negligence of some person
or persons who were employed in the
unloading of shells at the naval maya
zine on Iona Island on the 4th of No
vember. 1903
II am further satisfied that those who
were directly responsible for the afore-
said explosion were among those killed.
ard / further find that Frederick Ward
and Patrick Curran. not being ordnance
men. should not have been allowed 20
work around explosives. which work is
supposed to be done alone by regular
ordnance men only, who are qualified 20
execute such work as the handling of All
explosives. which are under the juris-
diction of the United States Navy"
Coroner Sloat is to, send, a. copy OF
his verdict to Congressman Thomas
Bradley. with the request that he intro
duce a bill in Congress for the relief
of the families of the dead men.
Mrs, Curran is left with FIVE children
and 10 about to become the mother of
another. There are other cases equally

Home Supply.

The advance guard of the vendors of
Christmas green's invaded the city yes
terday. and during the afternoon and
night all kinds of holiday decorations
in green were offered for sale on the
streets and in the market places.
Ordinarily there is a plentiful supply
OF Christmas greens offered for sale in
the Washington markets and on the
streets every year. and there is no
reason to believe that this will not be
the case in the coming holiday season.
Fortunately for the residents of Wash
ington. particularly the little ones, the
surrounding counties are exceedingly
productive OF Christmas trees, and the
home product, If it may so be called, is
always obtainable at low price.
Trees From Afar.
The large dealers in Christmas greens,
however. do not depend solely on the
home market for a supply of goods.
Many OF them receive consignments from
the South. West, and the North. The
large dealers say that orders are placed
with them long in advance for Christ
mas trees of a particular shape and
height, which are used In churches and
by other organizations.
