charge of manslaughter In the second
degree. Full consideration must be
given, said the coroner, to the char
acter OF the business which was car
red on by the Slocum, especially in
view of the fact that In all of her trips
her passengers were for the most part
women and children. The passengers
we're supposed to believe that when
they took passage in the steamship
every care for their safety and COM
fort had been taken by the owners and
therefore If the evidence showed that
this was not. the case, the duty Of the
jury was plain.
Regarding the inspection by the
Urited States officials, the coroner
said, if 1t had been a lax one that fact
in no way absolved the company from
blame. They were required to obey the
law as It appeared on the statute books
and because they might not have been
compelled to live up to the law, did
not lessen their responsibility.
He added, significantly, that If the
jury believed the federal inspectors
negligent they should say so in their
pr.sentment so that the matter might
be referred to the United States grand
iu~y

ed highly sensational from the start.
Captain Van Schaick, the master OF
the Slocum, with his head, hands and
ri-'ht leg bandaged, and the latter in a
plaster cast, as the result of broken
heel, caused by jumping into the shall
icw water after he had beached his
boat, told his side of the disaster and
declared that he "did all that man
could do to save the lives of his pas
scESers."
Frank Padiesky, a twelve-year-old
boy, whose mother and four sisters
lost their lives on tie Slocum, swore
Il at he told the children the Slocum
was afire when the vessel was off 129tn
street and that the captain told him to
keep his damned mouth shut and mind
his own business"
Henry Lundberg, the assistant fed
al steamboat inspector who inspect
ell the Slocum before she was placed in
commission this year, and who refus-
ed 10 answer any questions at a pre-
Iious hearing, took the stand and re.
clared that he made the inspection ac-
tcrllng to the rulec of the department.
He admitted that ne had not ordered
the accumulated rubbish cleared out
of the forward holo where the fire
started; said he inspected life preserv-
ers without taking thm out of their
racks, and excused his acts by claim
ing that he followed out the instruc-
tics given him by his supcriors.

MALE FREAK
Abandoned BY Heartless
Men.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 2S.-A male
freak about IS years old, was discov-
cred yesterday afternoon on the third
floor of 545 Second az I g. The lad
had been abandoned by men who
sought to profit by his mental and
Physical deformities.
Captain BARLEY went to the house
with Superintendent of Detectives
McQuade and Detectives Kelly and
Cole The officers found the freak
beating It's head against the bed. II
was beyond all doubt the most pitt
able specimen of a human being i'm
aginable. 1t had the face and long hair
Of a woman, while the trunk of its
body was distorted and splotched with
patches of long wiryl hair. Its limbs
we're about the thickness of mans
wrist and were bent and twisted. 1t
was about five feet six inches in height
and weighed about 100 pounds On
the bed beside its head was a piece of
meat which had evidently been left
for it by the men who abandoned it.
Al 10 o'clock last night it was removed
to the Homeopathic hospital.

PARTIALLY DESTROYED DU-

CAUSES POSTPONEMENT
Of Exhibition Sail on Ju-
Iy Fourth

st. Louis, Mo-, June 2S.-M. Santos
Dumont's racing airship was attacked
by vandals and partially destroyed at
the fair last night. The envelop or
silk balloon of thu ship was slashed 16
times with long sharp knife, leav-
ing incisions varying from four to
twenty-foui inches. His workmen dis
covered the knife slashes at $3.50 this
morning. Santos Dumont is distressed
and excited, and it is not known what
he will do He says it is possible that
the envelop may be repaired and still
be safe, but he is not sure this work
can be done in st. Louis. The act of
vandalism will cause postponement
of the exhibition sail he was to have
made on July Fourth.
The exposition officials have offered
a reward of $1,000 for the arrest and
conviction of the miscreants who did
the damage to the balloon.
