TEN YEARS FOR VAN SHACK
Captain of Inflated General sIocum
L. Severely Punished for Crimi-
nal Negligence.

NEW YORK. Jan. 26,-Captain William
II. Van Schack was today found guilty OF
criminal negligence in failing to have fire
drills on the steamer General Slocum,
which he commanded in June, 1904, when
the steamer burned, with the loss of over
1000 lives. He was then sentenced TO ten
years imprisonment by Judge Thomas Of
the United States district court.
The jury disagreed as to two other counts
in which he was charged with criminal
negligence by the tolerance of life preserv-
ers of poor quality on the steamer.
The conviction of Captain Van Schaick
was the first resulting from prosecutions
OF persons indicted on account OF the
Slocum disaster.
=. Late today United States Marshal
Henkel took Captain Van Schaick to the
Tombs, where he was locked up, the friends
on whom the captain had depended TO
give bail having left the city temporarily.
He expressed his belief that great hope
lay for him in the appeal and that it would
ultimately resui. in an acquittal for him.
Captain Van Schaick had seen over forty
years service in steamboat work on the
Hudson and the waters about New York
