Recent Collision of the st. Johns and

All papers in connection with the St.
John s-Jamestown collision have been for
warded by Supervisor General Uhler to
Capts. Wright and White of the steamship
Inspection service In Baltimore. and they
have been authorized to summon witnesses
and prosecute the investigation into the
collision. The captain of the jamestown
declares that he did the best he could
under the circumstances in trying to give
wide berth to the st. Johns, which was
trying to pass him from the rear.
This statement Is denied by the captain OF
the St Johns. The penalty for wllful
neglect of the. navigation laws governing
such cases or negligence of duty is very
heavy and may result In suspending the
certificate of the offending captain from
ten days to six months and-in a fine Of not
more than 500.
