DISCOVERIES IN NEW YORK

Announcement was made today that
the Department Of Commerce and Labor
IS considering the advisa bility OF a re-
inspection Of every excursion steamer in
the United States. including Washing
ton. Baltimore, and other nearby cities.
The matter has been taken up be-
cause Of the discoveries made in New
York. where sixteen inspectors from
other parts Of the United States are dis
closing a condition that tho officers OF
the department do not care TO discuss.
If the inspection Is to be made it will
be commenced Immediately after the
inspectors have completed their work IN
New York Ii is believed the inspectors
will be In a better position 20 begin
the work then than II they delayed
matters.
Plan to Be Pursued.
The system to be pursued will be that
no Inspector will be allowed to do more
than perfunctory grork In his own dis
trict men from the other parts Of the
country doing the real labor. The men
are now in the proper temper in New
York, which has caused the department
to take ~ the matter
Complaint has been made that there IS
a general disregard Of the law limit
ing passengers TO certain numbers on
certain boats. II has been learned that
vessels licensed to carry only 100 or 81
passengers think nothing Of taking 1OG(
or 1900
Assistant Secretary Murray. who mas
had charge Of the investigation in New
York. was back at his desk today al
work on part Of the report he IS 70
make on the Slocum disaster. He de-
clined to talk about the greater inyes-
tigation and reinspection, but said that
the New York inquisition would prob
ably be concluded in a month.
Word was received from New York
today that the owners of the Grand Re
public. the sister ship Of the Slocum, on
which nearly a thousand people lost
their lives, had been laid up by the
owners. who feared the threat of the
Federal officers 10 iufict the fine OF
8 900 a day for violations of the law.
The Grand Republic, according to re-
ports, IS In a condition az bad as the
SlOcum was. life RATS being useless a
high percentage OF the life preservers
and fire hose being unfit for use, and the
crew being unframed.
II is supposed at the department that
the Grand Republic will now be laid
up until she has been repaired TO con-
form with the laws Of the United
States.
