tors of the Knickerbocker Steamboat

quest, had surrendered themselves to

fulfilled the coroner instructed an i'll
spector to go out and get the directors
wherever they can be found and bring
them before him. The inspector has
detailed six detectives to find the di-
rectors.
Capt. Pease. who was termed the
commodore of the fleet in the finding
of the coroner's jury. also failed to.ap-
pear and it was learned that he sailed

like one.

in 81 bills which had been collected in
China town.
Late in the day Secretary James r.
Atkinson. and Director Floyd S. Corbin,

he was detained at the corOner's office
until a messenger obtained them. The
bail i'm Mr.. Atkinson's case was $4,000.
Coroner Berry said that he had heard
