MEN REFUSED TO SIT
DOWN, THE MAIN CAUSE
Remarkable Combination of Circum-
stances Is Given as Responsible for
the Loss of Thirty Lives In Hudson
River Recently-Water Begun to
Rise In Boat-Men Went Overheard

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Oct. IA
remarkable combination of circum-
stances. no one of which, taken sing
ularly, was responsible, caused the
swapping of the sailing launch of The
hattleship New Hampshire in New
York harbor on the night of Septem
Der 80. and the consequent loss OF
more than 30 lives Thus the naval
board of inquiry, which investigated
the disaster and its causes. sums IN
its conclusions in its report to the
navy department. made public today.
Had the men aboard the launch
obeyed an order to sit down in the
boat the board believes the accident
would not have occurred. However,
there were contributing causes:
at seems to the board that all ex
traOrdinary circumstances must have
COnspired fatally to transform an or
einary routine matter into a calam-
ity,' says the report.
The board found that the launch
was deeply loaded, although not more
so than for abandoned ship She
was towed across 4 string tide in a
sea generally confused. and rendered
more so by wind and the swell OF at
least one steam yacht.
Disobeyed Order.
A number of men were standing be-
tween thwarts and when they were
ordered to sit down. only a few of
them obeyed Some spray came
aboard and some of the men attempt
ed ia move aft to escape a drenching.
The towing launch must have been
making 100 great speed. although the
board said 1t lost n valuable witness
in the death of the bowman of th5
sailing launch. who alone knew what
wasi happening. This man was call
ing for a knife to cut the tow line
when water. in quantity, began com
ing aboard.
Should Have Stuck to Boat.
Nevertheless the board believes
that IN to this point there was no
Danger" continues the report. And
that if all hands had stuck to- the
boat. especially had they sat down,
she would not have swamped."
The disaster was precipitated by
some of the men mounting the gun
wheel. due to small sized panic
caused by n few jumping overheard
when water began to enter the boat.
Darkness also contributed its share
TO the disaster. concealing from the
towing steamer the plight of the
launch.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Mich
olson has approved the report.

Seattle is not in any sense a
rival of Spokane for the National
Apple Show. 1t is not seeking to
have the fruit exhibition removed
from the Eassern Washington city.
Considerable newspaper discussion,
originating with Spokane papers,
on the advisability of a new loca-
ton preferably an Eastern city,
met with decided opposition in
Seattle, where it is believed that
the greatest benefits of the Apple
Show come from bringing Eastern
ers to visit the orchards and lands
available for cultivation in the
Pacific Northwest. The convention
committee of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce sent out a circular
strongly urging this view and
stating that, if the show was to be
removed from Spokane for any
reason, Seattle would be glad tc
take care of it, in expression o.
opinion of the commercial organiza
tons in the fruit growing districts
was solicited. This is the extent
of the movement which the Spo
kahe Chamber of Commerce hat
unjustly called an effort to rob
that city of the Apple Show
Seattle's whole interest in the mat
ter is to keep the show in thu
Northwest, where it will best serv,
the welfare of all sections.
