HOLDS HUMAN
LIFE CHEAPLY
Company Owning the Gen
eraI Slocum Fails to Profit
by Lesson of the Disaster
SISTER SHIP EXAMINED
Inspectors Find Fire Hose
and Life Preseryers Rotten
and Boats Unfit for Service

NEW YORK, Aug. Am inspector
who yesterday made a partial examina-
ton Of the excursion steamship Grand
Republic to-day told the Federal Com
mission which is investigating the
General Slocum disaster, that the life
saving and fire-fighting apparatus on
the Grand Republic is practically
worthless.
This steamship is a sister ship to the
General Slocum, which was burned in
East River several weeks ago, with a
loss of nearly a thousand lives. She
is owned by the Knickerbocl1er Steam
ship Company, which also owned the
Slocum.
The inspector who examined the
Grand Republic told the commission
that neither the captain nor crew knew
what to do when a fire bell was or
dered; that some Of the fire hose burst
when subjected to water pressure; that
a large percentage of the life pre-
servers were worthless, some of them
having been manufactured as long ago
as 1877; that the life boats were pro-
vided with broken oars-one was badly
rotted and another had a broken rud-
der; that one of the life RATS had no
oar locks, and that on some of the
RATS what appeared to be rivets upon
closer inspection proved to be only
false heads, the parts being soldered.
This story was told by Inspector
James NJ Todd who with Supervising
Inspector Rode and Chairman Murray
of the Federal Commission boarded the
Grand Republic yesterday afternoon
as she was about to start on one Of her
regular trips to Coney Island with pas
sengers.
The preservers on the main deck
were in bad condition." said Todd.
You could break off the corners as
you would a biscuit. Out of 1882 we
condemned 372. The mark was so old
that we could not see it. The manu-
facturers date was 1877.
''One of the life boats had three
broken oars and another two. Two of
the boats were much rotted and an
other had a broken rudder. One of the
life RATS had no rowlocks, they hav-
ing been broken off. On some of the
life RATS apparent rivets on inspection
were shown to be only false heads, the
parts being soldered''
For ornament?' inquired Chairman
Murray.
mo, sir" emphatically answered the
inspector; for fraud"
The witness testified that he heard
the order for the fire drill given by the
supervising inspector, and he also
heard the master say that he did not
know what orders to give for the drill.
He finally blew a general alarm on the
whistle and rang four or five times
on the ships bell before the crew an
swered, testified the witness.

SUES TO TEST
LAW OF HAW All
Territorial Official Com
menceS Action to Deter
mine Corporations Rights
DEMANDS INJUNCTION
Attorney General Seeks
Opinion of Court on Ques-
ton of Great Interest
Special Correspondence of The Call.

HONOLULU, July 27.-An injunction
proceeding of the utmost Importance
has been instituted by Attorney Gen
eral Andrews on behalf of the Terri
tory of Hawaii against the Pacific
Hardware and Steel Company and its
agent, T. A.. Hays, to restrain them
from doing business in this Territory.
1t is a test case to see what power the
Territory has in the taxation of extra
territorial concerns doing business
through offices situated here. The At
torney Generals bin of complaint re-
cites that the respondent company ex-
lists as a corporation organized under
the laws of California, has its principal
place of business in San Francisco, and
that for twelve months past it has been
doing business in Hawaii through its
agent, who maintains an office here.
The corporation does not invest its cap
ital here. nor is. it engaged in the bust
ness of foreign or interstate commerce,
yet the complaint alleges it has failed
10 perform the following acts required
by the Territorial law:
1t has neglected to file a copy of it's
charter; it has failed to file with the
Treasurer the names of its officers; il
has failed TO file the name of a person
upon whom legal notices may be
served; it has neglected to file state
ments Of its affairs. and it has failed to
obtain an annual license for the use of
its agent. T. A. Hays.
The fight thus begun is one which has
been fought out in many States of the
Union with varying success. The point
that the Attorney General is seeking to
establish is that the foreign concerns
come here to compete with local mer-
chants and pay no taxes of any sort.
The last Legislature drew UP a law to
cover this matter, and now it is being
applied. The statute is based on a
Pennsylvania statute which has stood
the test Of the federal courts. The line
Of defense against it in all probability
viii be that the statute is in contra
vention Of the interstate commerce
laws, and the question viii be fought
out along that line.

much of the time. The man who
found her to-day called on her several
times before. She first told us he was
her uncle and subsequently she said
he was q friend she had known in

Judge Cabaniss dismissed the charge
of murder against Giovanni Fossa be-
cause two of the principal witnesses for
the prosecution had left the State.
The case had been in the courts since
June 3 1903, when Fossa was arrested
for throwing Vencenzo Lavagnino down
stairs in house in the Italian quarter
Lavagnino died from his injuries, and
Judge Conlan held Fossa for man
slaughter. District Attorney Byington,
however, filed new complaint, charg-
ing murder and Superior Judge Lawlor
cent Supreme Court decision to the eff
feet that a defendant could not be
placed twice in jeopardy for a single
crime Byington then filed another
complaint. and the preliminary hearing
of it yesterday by Judge Cabaniss re-
suited in FosSa again being discharged.

FOOD TESTS ENDED.
General Verdict is That People Eat Too Much X

General Verdict is That People Eat Too Much x The food tests which Director Russell H Chittenden, of the Sheffield Scien- tific school, has been conducting since last September are ended and the Unit ed States army regulars upon whom the tests were made have left the city.
 The general verdict of the test, al- though Professor Chittenden has not yet made a scientific review of the data obtained, Is: We eat too nuch.Y
 The object of the test was to deter mine whether the average person does
 not eat too much, and to ascertain the
 minimum amount of food upon which the average man might live in his usual health and vigor. That those who took part in the tests did not enjoy
 their task is shown by the fact that of the original twenty-one only six re-
 Inain. the others dropping out and re-
 turning to a less irksome regular army i life.
 Six of the places of those who left were filled at various times during the tests Everything that the soldiers ate and all the exercise they took were l carefully noted for consideration at the end Of the tests
