by the censor, has been received here:

present a grave danger, which must be
fought. Besides the ordinary confisca-
tion of all subversive publications, the

undertake a propaganda to show the
fallacy of certain theories and for the
observance of laws as guarantee of
liberty.

Describes Conditions
The report states that the General
Slocum was owned by the Knicker-
booker Steamboat company, a New
York corporation; that the S1ocum was
last Inspected by Henry Lundberg and
John w. Fleming, May 5, 1904, and that
the current certificate of inspection at
the time of the disaster was issued
May by James A. Dumont, inspector
of hulls, and Thomas H. Barrett, in
spector of boilers, the board of local
inspectors at the port of New York.
In describing the Slocum the report
says that it was constructed entirely
of wood that the upper works were
in a highly inf1ammable condition, and
that there were no fireproof matches or
bulkheads. The commission states that
there are many similar vessels doing
service in the United States, the con-
struction Of which is quite dangerous.
Regarding the origin of the fire the
report says:
"The fire started in the forward
cabin, so called, being the third COM
partment under the main deck from
the bow, and probably originated in a
barrel containing packing hay, which
was in that compartment, one of the
barrels used for bar glasses and
brought on board by the charterers.
Fire was probably communicated to
this barrel through the carelessness of
some unknown T1arSOn -
Negro Was Careless
The report also states that this cabin
was filled with inf1ammable material,
including large amount of oil; and
the members of the crew frequently
lighted matches in the compartment,

STRUGGLES IN WATER.
Intoxicated Man Attracts Attention
of Main Street Pedestrians.

The painful efforts Of an inebriate to
get out of the gutter in front of a Main,
street department. store furnished no
end OF entertainment for the crowd of
pedestrians who happened along Main
street late yesterday afternoon. For
several minutes the man hOundered
about in the stream of water, trying
vainly to get on his feet, but not until
he had become thoroughly drenched
did he finally recover his equilibrium
and make his way unsteadily down the
street.
The. man was much the worse for
having DESTROYED the commercial value
OF a considerable quantity of alcoholic
liquor. He came down Main street

BY q great effort he raised himself
to a sitting posture and gave vent to
several expressions that are not found
in the dictionary. at the same time
trying to arise. For fully two minutes
he tried TO get on his feet. but the cur
rent of water was too strong. He final
~ crawled out on his hands and knees,
and after getting at a safe distance
from the water ventured to stand up.
After expressing his opinion of the
crowd of men who stood by watching
his antics. the man wandered down the
street and disappeared into the nearest
grog shop.
