REPORT ON
The BENNINGTON
Negligence Caused Explosion on the
GunbOat at San Diego
ENSIGN MUST STAND TRIAL

Washington. Aug. 22.-The findings
which Investigated the fatal explosion
ON the gunboat Bennington were made
public by Secretary Bonaparte at the
navy department. The court expresses
the opinion that the explosion was
caused by excessive steam pressure In
boiler b." resulting from the closing
OF the valve connecting the boiler with
the steam gauge. The court Is also of
the opinion that ID. n. Holland. fire.
man on duty. had made the mistake OF
shutting OF the valve. The court
further finds that Ensign Charles ID.
Wade. OF the engineer department OF
the ship. was at fault In failing to see
that the steam valves and safety valve
were overhauled at the proper time and
kept In good order, having accepted the
verbal statements OF subordinates that
this had been done in March. II Is
clear that he was negligent in the per-
Torrance of his duty and should be
brought before court-martial. The
navy department has not yet acted on
the proceedings and findings.
The court consisted OF Commodore
Stevenson. retired. and Captain Il. J.
Moore and Captain Thomas 5. Phelps
The finding recites the arrival of the
Bennington at San Diego and says:
About $40 on July q. after both
boilers had been filled and the furnaces
started It was observed that the steam
gauge on boiler "B" showed about five
pounds of steam pressure. and at this
time Oiler Frank De Cour:ani. acting
as water tender, directed .. n. Hol-
land. fireman. second class. TO close
the air cock on boiler b: that the said
Holland climbed up and closed valve,
and almost Immediately the steam
gauge on boiler B' failed TO register
any pressure; that this was apparently
not noticed by either the water tender
or the fireman. and no attention ap-
pears TO have been paid 10 the fact that
the steam gauge failed to register. but
they kept on working the fires and
firing heavily: thai when the steam
gauge on boiler "A showed 1875 pounds
there was no pressure showing on the
steam gauge OF boiler b."
The finding then goes on to state that
about 1890 O'Clock a small leak was
found In boiler "B." A request had
been sent TO the boilermaker 10 come
and attend TO the leak when the explo-
sion occurred. All that happened after
the explosion Is described at consider
able length.
The opinion then says: THE said d.
N. Holland fireman. second class. U
s. N: Frank de Courani. oiler. U. s
N. and T. b. Ferguson. chief machin-
lists mate. T. 5. ~, are now all dead
and therefore no further proceedings
can be taken against them. The cour,
is OF the opinion that Ensign Charles
T. Wade was negligent in the perform
ance OF his duty. and the court recon-
mends that he be brought to trial be-
fore a general court-martial."

Too Soon to save His
Life.

A fire broke out al 1909 Dodge street last
night In an old hulk of a building occupied
by several colored families. This came near

Fescher, an old German tailor, who was
asleep in an upper room. Tho fire began
in one of the rooms in the cast end of the
house, but how no one of the inmates was
able or willing to say. One Of the negro
women. Mrs Mary Patterson. said that
most of the people who put up there were
out and that she did not see the fire until
II was beyond control. The druggist at
Twelfth and Dodge turned in the alarm.
but tho whole house was i'm flames when
the work OF fighting It began.
A thrill of fear seized the crowd of on
lockers when the face of an old man ap-
peared at one of the upper windows in a
circle OF fire. He was making desperate
efforts to raise the window and once he fell
backward apparently into the fire. He
was able TO rise again and broke the glass
and plunged out headlong. officer Frank
Divis saved him from fall which would
probably have been fatal. Divis had been
keeping the crowd back and rushed in
when he saw the old man struggling with
the window and in time to catch him as he
fell The mans hair and beard were
scorched and his clothes were smoking
from the fierce heat. He was hurried to
the police station. where Or. Cox attended
his injuries. His left hand was severely
burned and one of the bones in his heel
was fractured. Besides this there were
bruises on his knees He was able to give
his name as August A Fescher and that

the room as a shop bedroom and kitchen.
He is IS years old and his hair is white. 1t

PRESERVING INDIAN MUSIC
Prevent Its Being a For
gotten Art

. WASHINGTON. Dec, iO-The necessity
for preserving Indian music, the estab-
lishment OF an Indian reform school and
the erection OF sanitarium for tuber-
cular Indians are now features Of the
annual report OF the commissioner Of
Indian affairs, Francis E. Leupp. After
discussing the Indian question generally,
the commissioner says that in pursuance
OF the general idea of saving instead Of
crushing what is generally characteristic
in the Indian. steps have been taken by
him for the preservation through the
schools OF what is best in Indian music.
vast Improvement in the method of
purchasing supplies for the Indians, par
toularly drugs and In the quality Of sup
plies received, IS noted by the commits
sioner
The despoilation OF prehistoric ruins by
relic hunters and others is particularly
referred to and the commissioner quoted
from a former letter OF instructions 10
Indian agents warning them that unless
protective legislation shall be secured
everything practicable must be done 70
prevent these depredations.
With regard to certain funds OF the diff
ferent Sioux tribes. including the santee
Sioux OF Nebraska, and Quapaws, Com
missioner Leupp reports he has some
doubts as to their availability for the pur-
poses indicated and he has turned the sub
jeet over 10 the attorney general for an
opinion. which. however up to the date
& Ais report had not been received.

PROBLEMS OF IMMIGRATION
commissioBer sargeant says They
Are the Greatest Before the
Country.

WASHINGTON Dec. lO-In presenting
the annual report of the bureau Of immi-
sratiOn Commissioner General Sergeant re-
fers to the magnitude and gravity Of the
problems presented by the growth Of the
alien population OF the United States.
These problems" he declares. loom so
largely in the prospect of our country
that 1t may be said. without giving just
cause to charge exaggeration, that all
other questions of public economy relating
TO things rather than to human beings,
shrink into comparative insignificance."
The total alien arrivals reported for the
year of l,026. 400 represents an increase over
the preceding year OF PISCES. Of which the
continental ports OF the United States re-
port 1920. At the insular ports the in
crease was 2S49, although the arrivals at
Porto Rico were less by ninety-four than
In 1904. There also was a large increase
In arrivals at southern ports, while a de-
crease is shown for the Pacific ports, which
Is accounted for in some measure by the
Russian-Japanese war. OF the increased
arrivals above referred 10 Austria Hungary
sent 1885, over it's quota of 1904 Russia
1906, Italy 2Sls3 and the United Kingdom
1854. This increase from the last men
toned country. says the commissioner, is
somewhat offset by the decreases from
Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. Not
withstanding tho increase from Italy that
country, says the commissioner, may be
regarded as having probably reached the
high water mark.
From this showing Commissioner Sar-
| geant ventures the prediction that the
chief sources Of future increases in i'm
migration are those two in Europe which
have the greatest resources in populatio
probably to dispense with, Russia and
Austria-Hungary. with the facts in
view" he says, 1T will be possible to CAL
culate with reasonable certainty on the
character of immigration in its greater
bulk for some years 70 come, at least Of
European immigration"
The importance of proper understanding
OF the contract labor law is dwelt upon
In the report. No feature of the immi-
grafton law, he declares, has proved so
difficult OF enforcement as that which
was passed for the protection of labor in
this country from the unfair competition
Of aliens. The chief obstacle 1t the way
OF such enforcement he attributes to the
! erroneous impression that it is a measure
wrung from congress against it's will by
the power OF organized labor. "exactins
all it could obtain rather than seeking the
simple Justice"
