Several relatives of the drowned sail prs stated that they considered It neg iigence that the men were not first taught to swim.
 Tt Is not required by the State naval reserve. or oven by the United States navy. that a recruit shall learn to swim. The rules to both provide that the sailors shall learn to swim at 'ear- Hest convenience,'y said Lieutenant Page. who ordered the reserves to drill Thursday night. When was & sailor aboard the battleship Oregon. fully 1000 members of the crew could not swim. attribute this accident more to the fact that the men became panic stricken than to any squall or to their inability to swim"
