SAFEGUARD PASSENGERS

Mt OW that grief and surprise are
| stilled in the matter of the dread
- full loss of the steamship Colum.
bia, the pointed query is pertinent
who is responsible?'
The public inquiry develops many
things it is we'll to know, but fails, sig.
nally, to reach effective remedy. Bott
ships were steaming at full speed, in a
fog; each knew of the others presence
and the consequent danger; both sig
nailed according to rule, and both
changed courses when it was too late
AS a result scores of lives were lost
and scores of men and women sub
jected to unnatural trials. 1t is charged
that the steamship company refused to
transport the wrecked passengers to
the port of departure, and to care for
them in the havens they found.
The passengers belongings are lost,
and at best a 800 liability is all the
company can be held for. Sickness,
suffering, loss of effects. fright, all are
balanced by the 500 liability, and even
that is not certain. The company will,
doubtless abandon the wreck to the
underwriters and appeal to the courts
for release from other liabilities. Such
has been the custom and it is likely to
be followed in this case. The public,
passengers included, have received "all
that was coming to them" and now the
query: "Who pays the freight?'
What can Captain Birmingham, the
government supervising inspector. do
to lessen the chances in some other
case? Captains will take chances, and
must use discretionary power, so that
cast iron rules are powerless to guide
them. The coast is lined with the
steamers of competing firms, and lower
rates draw the people from the rail-
roads. Like collisions may occur at
any time in the season of fog, and that
is never certain to be we'll defined.
There is no record of the scores of
chances taken and "close calls expert
enced by steamers, and never will be
till their captains are caught in dis
aster.
Why not have supervising inspector
of log books, forcing master and mate
to keep separate books, as they must
do in deep water trade, holding the one
as check on the other, and each invi-
olate from the other? If the honor Of
soldier is his bond, it certainly is the
bond Of the seaman, and when officers
know that their hourly work for every
day must pass inspection by govern
ment expert at the end Of each run,
they will be less likely to take forbid
den chances.
With this practice installed, and the
ships equipped with automatically
closing bulkheads, that will close and
that are certified to as being safe by
the same government expert, just when
the matches have been closed, we shall
have equal protection with passengers
on the Atlantic coast-and the people
have a right to demand such.
Liability in such cases is so shrouded
in maritime law that none but an
expert can tell what it may give to
the stricken passengers, whose only
recourse seems to be the aforesaid
query.

nature, and because Of popular clamor
from other religionists who differed
from his views he was made to lose
that which only due process of law
could rightfully take from him.
Such travesty on the law will, 1t is
hoped, not be allowed to go unchal-
lenged at any time and any place,
Free speech is guaranteed by the con-
stitution and efforts at suppression
will invariably strengthen the cause OF
those whom short sighted officials seek
to crush.

Three-fourths of the stock in the
newly formed ice trust is held by per-
sons outside of Los Angeles. Not much
of that 12 per cent melon remains here.
This fact may aid in chilling former
patrons who have discontinued refrig-
GRAFTON since the big advance in prices.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-08-02

OF course it was a sheer coincidence
that four leading ice companies doubled
their prices in a single night. The
swing of the district attorneys club
and swat of the Cartwright antitrust
law may follow simultaneously as an
other remarkable coincidence

THEIR IDENTITY UNKNOWN
Two Sailing Vessels Lost Off cIeve-

Two Sailing Vessels Lost Off cIeve-
land During Storm.
Cleveland, July 2 Two small sail
ing vessels laden with oil were COM
pletely wrecked at the first blast Of
sQuall. It Is believed all on board
went down. The identity Of the boats
Is not known. The boats were about
three miles out when they went down.
AS the wind swept on them both ves'
sells keeled over, their sails disappear
ing under the water. Only one boat
came up. 1t wallowed around for
few minutes and then sank from sight
again in the heavy sea.
Lives were imperiled and thousands
of dollars damage done by the storm
in Cleveland. While the city was en-
veloped in almost total darkness for
fifteen minutes trees were uprooted,
small buildings blown down and all
the loose and lighter structures along
the lake front and at the amusement
parks were blown from their places
and smashed to pieces. Lightning
struck numerous buildings.
