BLAME Is FIXED.
Commission Investigating the slocun,
Horror Makes Its
Report.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-In a scathing
and voluminous report made public Mon
day the responsibility for the Gen. slocum
disaster, which occurred on June Is last,
was definitely lodged upon officials of
the New York steamboat inspection
service by the United States commission
appointed on June % to investigate and
report upon the of the fire in which
1000 persons persisted.
In connection with the report is pre.
sented a letter from President Roosevelt
to Secretary Victor H. Metcalf, of the
department Of commerce and labor, re-
viewing the report of the commission
and directing him to discharge from the
public service all inspectors to whose
ineficiency and neglect the disaster was.
according to the commission, largely at
tributable.
In accordance with the presidents in
structions, Robert s.. Bodie, supervising
inspector Of the Second district, steam
boat inspection service, and James A.
Dumont and Thomas H. Barrett, local
inspectors in charge of the port of New
York, will be discharged.
The findings of the commission upon
which President Roosevelt based his
recommendations are that the fire appa-
ratus of the Gen. slocum was sadly in
efficient; that the master made no ef-
fort to fight the fire; that the pilots had
ample time and opportunity to beach
the vessel before the flames had secured
much Roadway; that the officers and
crew were negligent in the discharge Of
their duty; and that the system of steam
boat inspection in New York was grossly
lax and negligent.
