INQUIRY CONTINUES
Admiral Goodrich lntimates ConcIu-
sion Will Soon Be Reached

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 9.-The naval
court of inquiry into the Bennington
disaster continues it's daily sessions
on board the flagship Chicago under
circumstances which battle newspaper
correspondents. 1t can be. said that
testimony is still being heard by the
board and that no formal report has
been made to the admiral, but no in
formation as to the probable length of
the inquiry is available. The only hint
as TO how long the board may remain
in service Is a statement made by Ad-
miral Goodrich to the effect that he
did not think it would take it long to
reach conclusion, though the investi-
cation would be thorough.
OF the injured seamen remaining in
the military hospital those still in the
most serious condition. Mueller and
Sullivan, probably will recover, so that
now there may be no further additions
to, the death list Yesterday eighteen
of the men were discharged and there
are now only thirty-five in the hospital
Hospital Surgeon Kneedler speaks in
terms of praise of civilians who have
assisted in the care of the injured boys
He said:
THE women of San Diego have aid
ed materially in the rapid recovery OF
the boys. Not day passes but several
visit the sick at the barracks, read to
the boys to help them pass the long
hours, and write their letters for them
These women have done a world OF
good. 1 don't see how we could have
got along without them"
Every afternoon the sick men are
entertained by the marine band from
the Chicago, which plays for an hour
and half on one of the verandas
Of the barracks.
Word has been received here that the
Los Angeles division OF the Naval re-
serves has decided TO appropriate S25l
from its treasury TO the Bennington
memorial fund.

CHICAGO OFFICER TALKS OF
BENNINGTON EXPLOSION
KNOWS WHO is TO BLAME
Declares That Condition Of the Boilers
Was Such That Had Not Accident
Come When II Did It Would
Have Come Later
BY Associated Press.


SAN DIEGO, Aug. 3.-The Tribune
this evening prints the following inter.
view with an engineering officer of the
flagship Chicago on the Bennington
disaster:
AFTER the Chicago reached port last
Thursday morning 1 was one of the
party which boarded the Bennington
and made a thorough examination OF
the Bennington's boilers" continued
the officer. What 1 saw in the Ben
nington's engine room that day will
bear out the truth of my statement.
The whole accident is due to the negll-
gence of some one, know, but am not
going to say who is to blame. Had the
accident not happened when 1t did there
is no doubt 1t would have come later
and would have been caused from any
one of several reasons.
my examination of the boiler de-
monstrated to me conclusively that at
the time of the accident there was not
enough circulating water over the
crown sheet. The boiler is what is
known as a locomotive boiler The
circulating water is over the top Of the
crown sheet. At the time of the acci .
dent this water had been allowed to
run low. This left nothing. but the
steam above the top of the crown
sheet and as a result the top of the
gI, 20
Later it became white hot. This, of
course, weakened the crown sheet and
with the tremendous amount of steam
pressure above caused 1t to collapse.
why the circulating water was al.
lowed to run so low of course 1 do not
know. However, 1 do not believe that
any attention was paid to the water
gauge. Another thing, from what
have seen, neither the water gauge, the
steam gauge nor the safety valve were
in proper condition. The safety valve
on that boiler would not have popped
off under 500 pounds pressure. This is
shown by the condition of the valve.
The seat of the valve is eorroded in
such a manner that it shows conclus
lively that it had not been popped off
for at least a year and very possibly
eighteen months. You must know that
the action of the, steam causes a cor
rosion to form at the seat of the safety
valve. This corrosion is not exactly
rust and yet it's effect is not entirely
unlike rust 1t Is sticky and unless
cleaned out will soon cause the valve
to stick in such a manner that 600
pounds of steam could not set it off.
Neither was the valve properly
weighted. If it had been when the
pressure had passed the danger point
the whole valve would have been
blown out. Nothing could have pre-
vented that, The regulations require
that every safety valve must be blown
at least once every three months Had
the valve been popped within the last
three months the steam would have
cleaned out all the corrosion.
II am very certain that the steam
gauge did not register correctly. Had
it registered correctly there would not
have heen such a tremendous pressure
of steam at the time of the accident.
When that crown sheet collapsed the
boiler was carrying a pressure between
$50 and 400 pounds"

Strengthens Health Board

One of the good results that is ex-
pected to follow the present misfor-
tune of the city will be vast extern
sion of the powers now lodged in the
board of health in the matter of en-
forcing the sanitary and hygienic
measures.
Deplorable conditions have existed in
the italian quarter. Hundreds of peo-
pie have been found crowded into RAM
shackle tenements, some Of them built
perhaps a century ago and surrounded
with none of the essentials of the most
primitive sanitation and hygiene. tt is
not improbable also that the movements
to bring Italian immigrants here on a
large scale will suffer, partly by reason
of the terror which the present infec-
ton has spread among the Italians and
partly by reason of the entirely unwar-
ranted prejudice which seems to have
arisen against extensive italian colo
nization. With the negroes flocking to
the city, Louisiana and Mississippi
planters have had difficult problem to
solve in obtaining adequate labor to
till their fields. Thousands of Italians
have in recent years replaced negroes
in the sugar fields of Louisiana and as
the italian is usually an excellent
laborer there has for some time been
a strong movement to provide such
facilities in the way of an immigrant
station as would divert 10 this gateway
a larger proportion Of italian immi-
grants.
Much surprise was expressed at the
state board of health when a dispa tch
reached it today from DR.. Gremillon at
Alexandria announcing the appearance
of a case of yellow fever there.
The Alexandria case was traced to
New Orleans and that opens up the
question of the efficiency Of certain
quarantines established in the country
parishes.

The inspectors who are at work
searching out cases of illness are hav-
Ing many strange experiences. There
still exists a widespread antlpathy
among the ignorant classes to making
public cases of sickness and a great
deal Of the inspectors time is taken
up in running down suspicious cases
which are communicated by the citi-
zens to the board of health.
The announcement that large
amount of money has been deposited
here to the order of the marine hospi-
tai service surgeons has created a false
impression among a large number OF
people now out of work and who are
seeking jobs in connection with the
movement to stamp out the fever. The
marine hospital officers have been be-
sieged with applicants for various po-
sitions and there is apparently wide
spread belief that the government is
to turn loose a golden stream in the
plan of fever eradication. 1t is expect
ed that no money is to be spent by the
government in sanitary work here. The
government is not in control of the
situation, nor does it expect to be. All
the funds that it will put out will be
in the establishment and maintenance
of detention camps and In any disin-

DR.. George w. Spencer, writing in
| the American Physician on ~ care OF
the hair and scalp says:
Boys and men think they have to
have their scalps and hair rubbed with
soap and water and then dried by
violently rubbing with rough towel,
or submitted to .most wonderfully
beneficial preparation, called sham
poo, which leaves the scalp in tender
and congested condition favorable for
infection and sensitive atmospheric
changes.
"The cleaning of the scalp should be
very carefully and tenderly performed,
rubbing in gently and with the ends of
the fingers, then rinsing with tepid
water and drying by gently pressing
the hair and scalp with very dry
towel, continuing until thoroughly dry;
or, better still, dry it by tanning If
any application is necessary to bring
hair thus dried into shape, dampen
with a bichloride of mercury solution
10000.
Ordinarily this thorough cleaning
need not be done oftener than onfie
week and in the interim the hair nteds
only to be brushed with soft brush
without allowing the brush to scratch
the scalp.
'The stiff brush. and especially that
most injurious Of all brushes, the mill
tary brush, which is frequently used
for months several times daily until it
becomes filled with dirt. can only be
Of great injury to the scalp. because Of
the vigorous scratching, as well as

as an open denial of the doctrine of

rection of the body, and they gave or
ders to have the words never and

fifteen years the family attempted to
have the cement removed, and, failing,
