SEA CAPTAIN
IS On TRIAL
Andrew Furuseth Makes
Charges Against the
National City.
Alleges That No Fire or
Boat Drill Was
Required.

Charges preferred by Andrew Furu-
seth. representative of the Pacific Coast
Sailors Union, against Captain Fred
erickson of the steamer National City
were Investigated yesterday by United
States Local Inspectors o. F. Bolles
and John X. Bulger. The charges were
to the effect that on a recent trip to
and from Fort Bragg Captain Fred
erickson neglected to have a fire or
boat drill as required by the regula-
tions. Mr.. Furuseth was assisted in
the prosecution by Harry w. Hutton.
counsel for the union. Captain Fred
erickson was defended by Nathan
Frank.
Several sailors swore that the steam
er was manned by only four sailors
instead of ten, which they understood
TO be the complement for the steamer,
and that there was no fire drill, al
though they admitted that after their
return TO this city the captain had them
swing the boats and play the hose as
in boat and fire drill, but they did not
consider these evolutions as drills.
During heated interchange of
words between Messrs. Frank and Hut
ton Inspectors Bolles and Bulger in
terposed and reminded the attorneys
that If any wrangling had to be done
it would be done by the inspectors
themselves.
Frank Swain. one of the crew, swore
in the afidavit filed with the Inspectors
that he did not know how to steer and
had not steered the steamer on the trip
at all. In his testimony he swore that
he took his Ytwo-hour trick" at the
wheel. When the Inspectors called his
attention to the contradiction. Mr.. Eut-
ton hastily interposed with the sug-
gestion that the witness had not un-
derstood the question. Captain Bolics
heatedly declared that the witness had
understood the question we'll enou2n,
and that he (Bolles) would not be
browbeaten to the contrary by Hutton.

IMPURE WATER SUPPLIED

Source Is Found IN a Stable by the
Health Authorities of
Indianapolis.

INLIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 26.-That
many of the soda fountains Of Indian
apolis are supplied with water from
bad" wells is a discovery the State
Board of Health has made. For long
time the board suspected that the wa
ter used by drug stores and other es-
adjustments where soda delicacies
were served was impure. DR.. j. n.
Hurty, Secretary of the State Board of
Health, tracked the man who has been
supplying the bad" water. The secre-
tary not only ran the offender to cover,
but put his well out of business.
Some time ago the secretary decided
that the water sold to the city soda
fountains was not good and started an
investigation 70 locate its source. His
search ended in q stable or the north
