ROTTEN ROPES OR MISTAKE
Boat of the III-Fated Valencia
Dropped Into Sea Too Soon
and MANY lives Lost,

Seattle, Jan. 31-Trying TO fix the blame
for the drowning Of approximately fifty
passengers on the Inflated Valencia.
when the life boats were launched,
United States Inspectors Turner and
Whitney today examined four witnesses.
including two members of the crew. The
point Of tOday's questions was TO deter
mine whether or not seamanship was
shown in the launching of the nfeboats.
Boat No. 5 was either dropped into the
sea through q mistake in orders, or the
ropes were rotten. The boat contained
forty people AS il hung from the davits
banging against the side of the ship
with every sea, one end gave way and
practically all the people in it were
spilled into the water. Only three or
four, and these were men, kept afloat
until the boat was finally launched That
q mistake was made was proved by the
witnesses who swore that some one on
deck, presumably an officer, gave the
order to lower away. e order might
have been given by an excited passenger.
but it was so dark that none of the wit
nesses could tell positively who gave the
order. No one could swear that the
ropes were either cut or broken so that
the evidence seemed to show that one
end dropped before the other.

when informed of the fact that The Her

which the minister replied that his gov
eminent would do so at some future
date, is likely to cause a sensation
throughout Great Britain. For the mo-
ment most of the papers refrain from
comment, under the idea that a wrong
impression might have been conveyed
through a close telegraphic summary or
by q telegraphic error.
The Daily Mail says it is reluctant to
believe that the common rules of in
ternational courtesy have been inten-
tionaIly disregarded. It expressed the
belief that the statement Of General
Tereauchi will result in diplomatic cor
respondence.
The Daily News in an editorial says
that lit is not an agreeable pill for
proud people to swallow" and points
with dramatic emphasis to the extra
ordinary story Of the last twenty years

this miracle happened in twenty years,
what may not happen in fifty years?''

"a Reasons of the Court
The application Was denied for the,rea-
sor.sthat in Justice .Gildersleeves opinion.
the court of original jurisdiction in Mis-
sour should determine the question raised
by Mr.. Hadley. Leave to renew this ap-
plication was granted Mr.. Hadley. In his
decision Justice Gildersleeve said:
1.-The principal questions to which the
witness refused to answer relate to the
OW nersfip Of the stock of the respondent
corporations. Due regard for the court
of original jurisdiction demands that this
court should await the decision of the su-
preme court of Missouri, and not at this
time consider the propriety Of compelling
the witness, Rogers, to answer any queS-
ton relating to stock ownership in the
respondent companies
In denying Attorney General Hadley' s
application, the court declared that this
action is taken without prejudice to a fu-
ture application Of the same nature.
