PROCEEDINGS ARE BROUGHT ID AN END Investigation of Collision Of
 Missouri and Illinois VESSEL WAS UNDRlLlED Captain cowles, on Board the Missouri, Gave All Necessary Orders for
 Immediately Reversing
 the Engines.

Washington, March 29.-The report of the court of inquiry of which Rear Ad- miral Wise was president on the invesu- gation of the collision between the battle ship Missouri, commanded by Captain Cowles. and the Illinois commanded by Captain Bradford. was made public to- day The court recommended no forther proceedings and it's action is approved by Rear Admiral Barker. commander-in-chief of the North Atlantic station. Accom- panying the reports are opinions by the judge advocate general and by Admiral Dewey, each of whom concurs in the recommendations that no further pro- ceedings be had The case is, according ly closed.
 In it's opinion the court says;
 "On board the Missouri, Captain Cowles gave the necessary orders for immediate ly reversing the engines for full speed astern, repeated the signal as an emer- gency signal. and ordered the display of signals which should warn the Illinois of the Missouris breakdown and move ments, but failed to indicate the course to starboard by one blast of the whistle The orders for the display of the signal by dispatch flag was not obeyed by the officer of the deck, Lieut.. w. Pitt Scott, '. s. N or was not obeyed with suf- ficient promptness to be of service to the Illinois, while the absence of prescribed whistle signals left the captain of the Illinois in absolute ignorance of the Mis- souri's actual movements. This failure was in the opinion of the court after the accident to the steering engine the sec ondary cause of the collision" Vessel Was Undrilled.
 The court lays stress on the fact shown in evidence that the Missouri was an un- drilled ship newly commissioned. intro duced into a squadron of evolution with out previous practice with another ship | in action.
 ",The third cause of the collision was the backing of the engines on board the Illinois The court is of the opinion that this action on the part of Captain Bradford was by no means an error of judgment or a fault CT an act of negli- gence on his part On the contrary, guided as he was solely by such observa- tion as he himself could make on the movements of the Missouri and misled by signals actually displayed by the Mis- souri his conclusion was just and his action wise
 | Notwithstanding the commission of sig nals noted on the part of the captain and the officer of the deck of the Missouri the court recommends no further proceed ings."
