THE sLocUm INVESTIGATION
Coroner's Jury Is Making Every Effort
to Locate the Blame

NEW YORK: The coroner's Jury
investigating the General Slocum dis
aster was taken in the hulk Of the
burned steamer at Erie Basin, and
after an inspection OF the wreck and
the examination of several witnesses
proceeded in a patrol boat over the
route followed by the steamer on the
day OF the ill-fated excursion.
Commander Winslow OF the navy.
who, with General Wilson OF the
army, was appointed to make fed
eral inquiry into the disaster, was on
board the Slocum when the coroner
and his party arrivec.
Commander Winslow was accom-.
panied by Supervising General Uhler
and the district head inspector, Rode.
Commander Winslow compiled de-
scription Of the Slocum's interior as
he found It. On board the Slocum
Coroner Berry led the way to the for
ward hatchway, a blackened opening
in the midst Of pile of rottng life
preservers entangled on half burned
barrels.
Torrance McManus, counsel for the
Knickerbocker Steamboat company,
was asked by the coroner IL he would
concede that that was the spot where
the fire was first discovered. Mr..
McManus declined to concede any
thing, and Edwin Brandow, the as
sistant engineer, was called as a wit
! ness and answered the question af-
firmatively.
After seeing all of the hulk they de-
sired, the patrol boat started up river.
Captain Van Wart, chief pilot Of the
Slocum, took the helm and pointed
out to the iurymen the exact course
taken by the Slocum. Captain Van
Wart believes that Captain Van
Schaick, in running his vessel to
North Brother island, CID the best
that could be done under the circum
stances.

The Waste in Tobacco

AS everybody knows, the ash left on
burning tobacco is considerable and,
as matter of fact. the mineral matter
of the tobacco leaf frequently
amounts to as much as fifth part Of
its weight. Thus, a ton of toabcco
leaf would yield four hundredweight
of ash, which represents valuable min.
eral constituents withdrawn from the
soil which have to be replaced by
abundant manuring. 1t has been cal
culateI that ton OF tobacco with.
draws over a hundredweight of min
eral constituents per acre of land. In
1901 the home consumption of tobac.
co in the United Kingdom was at the
rate of two pounds per head, or total
of about 10000 tons, which represents,
at what is now probably low com.
putation, approximately 5000 tons of
ash annually committed to the winds
or dssipated in some way or other.
On the face of 1t there would seem
to be fortune In store for that indi.
vidual who could devise a successful
means for the collection Of tobacco
ash, and 1t is = great pity that so
much valuable material should be for.
ever lost to the soil without any at.
tempt at direct observation-disclosures

TRADE PROGRESS IS SLOW
HELD BACK By CONTINUATION
OF SEVERE WEATHER.
Business Il Proceeding on Conssrv
alive Basis-A Review Of
Conditions.

New York, Feb. Pr. G. Dun & Co. g
Weekly Review Of Trade says: I'm ad-
dition to the interruption of holiday
trade and transportation have again suf-
fered because Of severe weather, and
much outdoor work was forced to await
more favorable conditions. Develop
ment Of spring trade is naturally slow,
but this may be fully made up as the sea-
son advances. Business proceeds on q
conservative basis that promises inn
munity from the excuses that precipi-
tated the recent setback. Manufacturing
plants are gradually restoring idle ma
chinery, and there Is more disposition to
anticipate future requirements. Staple
commodities are still inflated by war
and manipulations making it extremely
dif6cult to ascertain the actual legiti-
mate situation. Baltimore concerns are
resuming In temporary quarters, stocks
of goods being accumulated with great
rapidity. but no permits have been ie-
sued for rebuilding the burned district,
as plans are In preparation for realign-
ment Of the streets.
