The Government Board Presents Its He
port OF 90. 600 Words to the President.
WASHINGTON. Dot. s.-The Government
board appointed to investigate the disaster
to the steamer General Slocum called on the
President at the White House tonight and
laid before him the detailed report Of the
investigation, a document consisting of
something like $4,000 words, and reviewed
with him the principal features OF the report.
1t will be made public by the President
some time during the present week.
A member of the compassion said that
the report was 80 interesting that he did
not see how it would be possible to attempt to
synopsize it without leaving out statements
that everybody would be anxious to read
The report, SO far as 1t relates to the Slocum
disaster, is confined mainly to findings
of fact which, 1t Is said, show that the YES
sci was in q deplorable condition and that
the state of affairs in the lamp room, where
the fire originated, was absolutely as bad
as il the place was stored with dynamite.
Much of the report is devoted to the
condition OF the Federal Steamboat Inspec-
ton Service at New York. and suggestions
and recommendations are made with q
view to amending the laws relating to
steam passenger vessels and improving
the efficiency Of the service.
It was indicated that the commission
does not attempt to fix criminal responsi-
bility for the disaster, but states its findings
OF fact In such q way as to point plainly
where the responsibility lies.
