SLOCUM INVESTIGATION,
One Witness Says Disaster Was Due to
Mistake.

New York, July 25.-The disaster to
the excursion steamer General Slocum
in which nearly a thousand lives were
lost. never would have occurred II one
of the deck hands had retained his
presence of mind. according to the
opinion of former Fire Marshal Thorn
as F. Freel. who testified today before
the Federal Commission which is MAX
ing an inquiry into the disaster
Mr.. Freel said that member of
the steamers crew named Coakley tes-
tilted before the Coroner that he saw
the fire and tried to find something to
smother 1t with. He picked up a bag
of charcoal and threw il at the barrel.
Knocking 1T over and spreading the
fire. He then ran to get the fire hose
leaving the door to the stairway omen
That was all the fire wanted-a lit
tie air-and it spread" said Freel
IF the man had not lost his head he
could have picked up the barrel and
lhrown II overheard and the disaster
would not have happened
Another witness. Mrs Moda witte
who was on the Slocum when il burn-
ed said that she and her nurse tried TO
launch lifeboat when they heard the
Slocum was on fire, but gave IT IN
when they saw that one of the boards
was out of the bottom of the boat.
1t developed today in the hearing
that Henry Lundberg. the inspector
who examined the steamboat and nro-
nounced her as having complied with
the requirements of the law, had been
dropped from the roll of the denart-
mont. Inspector General Irhler said
Inspector Lundberg was only on nro-
baton. Not long after the accident his
six months probation was over and he
simply was not recommended for re-
appointment.

tern States, the Eastern part of the
country must be more or less interested
for several reasons. Men are con-
stantly moving westward looking for
new homes where they can earn a
livelihood, or become land owners,
while business men are interested IN
seeing a development of the West
which will afford them wider home
markets for their manufactured pro-
ducts. The changing of the Western
deserts into tens of thousands of new
and productive small farms will not
only relieve some of the overcrowded
sections of the East, but will stimulate
business of all descriptions, just is the
opening of the great Mississippi VAL
ley provided a market for the Ameri-
can manufacturers. such. as Secretary
Wilson says, as can be found in no 9TH
err part of'th world.
Already the Geological Survey has
designated some fifteen large irriga-
ton projects throughout the West.
where huge impounding dams and
bitches which will be as large as rivers
are to be constructed. Work is already
commenced on some of these, and the
next two or three years will see the
national irrigation policy in full oper
alton.
The $25, 100000 now practically avail
able for irrigation construction is by
no means the limit of this work. since
the fund is constantly growing through
the sales of Western public lands. and
as soon as the first irrigation work Is
completed the cost of it's construction
will begin to come back into the fund
for use on some other project 1t is
not intended that the government shall
give away the irrigation works. What
government land is placed under irri-
cation will be given the homesteader
free conditional only upon his resi-
dence and cultivation; but the cost of
putting water on the land-the con-
struction of the dam and the main
ditches-will be born by the settler.

to be one of the most beautiful cities in
the entire North West. There are
twenty or more houses here which have
been built at a cost of from 5000 to $1,000.
