PRESERVERS USELESS
TESTIMONY IN THE GENERAL $40
CUM INQUIRY.
Captain Van Shaick Brought Before
the Coroner ON n Stretcher, But
He is Sent Back to the
Hospital.

New York. June 23.-Much OF the
testimony at the inquest today In the
General SIocum disaster went to show
that the life preservers on the steamer
were practically useless. At least
half dozen witnesses described how
difficult these life preservers were to
get at and how they fell to pieces at
critical times.
Paul Idebenow, q passenger on the
Slocum who lost six members Of his
family In the disaster, declared that
when the wires by which the preserv-
ers were secured in the racks would
not give way he took hold of the pre-
SCI vers and they crumbIed like so
many soda crackers
Captain Van Shaick was brought In
to 'he court room on a stretcher. He
apparently WIS suffering greatly but
expressed a willingness to undergo an
examination by the coroner. He was
ordered back to the hospital, however,
and his examination postponed until
next week. The hull of the wrecked
Slocum was raised today and a great
deal of water was pumped out OF the
hold. A search was made for bodies
blu. none were recovered. At the next
full tide the hulk will be taken further
inshore. Supervising Inspector Rode.
of the United States Steamboat Inspeo-
tors, picked up number OF life pre-
serevers on the main deck of the Slo-
cum and tagged them for use In the
Government investigation. These
preservers were badly torn and more
than half filled with powdered cork.
Twenty-four additional bodies were
recovered today, bringing the number
of known dead up to GOT. One hun
dred policemen who have been making
a canvass of all districts where persons
were reported to be missing completed
their work today. Inspector Schmi =
berger who was in charge of the can
vass estimated the total number of
dead. including the missing. at about
1000. He said that the police In many
instances found at their homes persons
who have been officially missing SINCE
the day the steamer was burned. In
one case a man. his wife and two chill
dren, whose names had appeared In all
the published lists OF missing. were
found at their home. They had not
been on the excursion at all and the
elders were not even aware that they
had ben reported missing. Others
among the missing were found at
hospitals and various places.
