RUN ASHORE At ONCE

Captain and Crew Show cooiness and
Prevent a Repetition Of the sloeum
Horror.
The big triple.deck steamboat Grand
Republic returning from Rockaway
Beach with about thirty excursionists
on board took fire In the lower bay
ut New York. The burning craft. the
sister ship OF the Inflated General Slo-
cum. was headed at once to the dock
of the Crescent Athletic club. where
all her panic stricken passengers were
landed.
Dense clouds OF smoke enwrapped
the Grand Republic, and feet OF tugs
hurried at once to her assistance to
prevent q repetition OF the Slocum dis
astcr. In which 1000 lives were lost.
The fire was confined to where II
had started. amidships.
The big excursion boat was moving
up into the bottle neck OF the Narrows
when q coil OF black smoke was seen
coming from the superstructurs abaft
the walking beam.
Signals For Assistance.
Captain Carmen Immediately sig.
nailed for assistance and sent his OF.
feers and members of the crew to
quiet the frightened passengers. The
marine fire alarm was sounded from
the boat TO the Staten Island and Long
IL al hn
in sight under full steam converged
their courses to the burning craft to
render assistance.
In the meantime the Grand Repub-
lie was headed to the Long Island
shore. where she docked at the Cree.
cent Athletic club. The gang plank
was run quickly ashore. and the pas
songers. many Of whom had seized
life preservers In case Of need, were
put ashore.
A number Of railroad and other tugs
soon had streams of water pouring on
the flames. which were quickly under
control. Captain Carmen. when the
FIRE was discovered. directed the engi'
neer, who was sticking to his post In
a smoke.flled engineroom. to keep up
as much steam as possible and put on
full speed.
Captain Carmen and Purser John Nc
Conaghey. by prompt action. quelled
what seemed for few minutes would
likely develop into a serious panic.
Children and women alike began to
scream for help. but as the shores at
tho point where the fire was discov.
cred were close by. the fears Of the
passengers were quelled.
Life preservers were handed out to
the people as fast as they could be
taken down from the racks. and for
time It looked as II many OF those
who had life preservers on would
jump overheard.
Kept the Band Playing.
Children we're lost in the general
excitement. but were restored TO their
parents after the vessel had locked.
Captain Carmen ordered the band to
play until told to stop The work of
getting the people OF the boat was
done quickly and without mishap.

pany operating the Grand Republic.

safely landed; that no one had been
killed or injured and that the disci.

INVESTIGATE THE SUGAR TRUST

Two resolutions providing for an investlga- ton of the misdeeds of that star campaign fund contributor, the sugar trust, occupy pigeon holes in the desk of ''Uncle Joe" after having been swallowed bodily by his infamous commit tee on rules.
 One of those resolutions should be called to the floor of the house, and the investigation pro- vided for in the measure should be ordered to proceed without further waste of time.
 President Taft opposes the reporting of the resolutions providing for congressional probe of the sugar trusts thefts on the ground that "immunity'' might be given to the men ''higher p." This position is untenable for two req sons. In the first place the men "higher up' can not secure immunity unless they are allowed to testify under oath, unless they are forced to divulge information or records as to the con- duct of their business, or unless the government itself promises immunity in asking for certain information. By pursuing other methods of in ouiry, such as taking the testimony of the com petitors of the trust for instance, the investgat ing committee of congress could secure wealth of information on the subject of the trusts busi- ness methods without giving immunity" to those "higher up."
 The presidents position in opposing an in quiry by congress is also untenable because nine charges are made against the trust in the reso- lutions which are being held up at his sugges- ton, in addition to the one relating to the re- gently exposed under-weight frauds, in connect tion with which it is feared the men "higher up'' might be given immunity through federal investigation.
 Since there is such great concern over the liability of the men ''higher up" going unpun ished, the Investigating committee could tenn porariIy pass up the under-weight frauds by which the government was robbed of $3, ,343, ,3O4 and concentrate its attention to the following charges against the trust as contained in the side tracked resolutions of investigation:
 1. Unlawful monopoly.
 ?. Conspiracy to ruin independent sugar re fneries.
 3. Blacklisting of grocers who handle inde pendent sugar.
 4. Importation of cheap contract labor.
 5. Violation of Sherman antitrust law.
 6. Bribing officials of customs service.
 7. Swindling of government by violation of tariff laws.
 8. Accepting rebates in violation of inter, state commerce law
 9. Violation of factory and health laws.
