A few days afterwards the old Ean1
called again. He said nothing about ne
land. but stepped into the owners oair
and picked up a fail.
Whats that?" he asked. 81

mon sense sees plainly hat Captain VaA
SchaicK,s punishment is merited ~
criminal negligence and is needed e.
an effective warning to other
captains. The fact that hardly ar
other captain plying in New
York harbor held fire drills does not
pailiate Captain Van Schiack's crime.
II shows that he is not less guilty
but that he has many other comrads
In crime that ought to be sent to Sins

Captain Van Setback however, is the
scapegoat in the Slocum affair. and
the public would take infinitely greater
satisfaction n seeing his employers
standing in his shoes. They too, were
guilty of criminal negligence and they
too. should suffer in humiliation and
ignomity. Captain Van Schaick was
merely an employee. His livelihood e.
pended on his complaisance to his em-
ployers, n had he insisted on strict
compliance with the laws, the employers
probably would nave dismissed him and
given his berth to a less squeamish
skipper.
And what punishment will fall upon

pose of making a few dollars by cheat

van Setback was negligent, but MS
unscathed manufactures. At least Van
Setback acted like a man in time of
disaster. He stood by his ship and run

nearly all the great undertakings are
carried to completion. In this there has
been a great amplifcation Of the or

was that of a corporation to serve as
estates, to have the custody of funds
which were for any reason within the
control Of the courts. generally to serve
in n fduciary capacity involving the

servatism. They stiil preform those func-
lions. and, SC far as we know. as faith
