OFFICER BLAMED
FOR EXPLOSION
MEN ON HOPKINS SAY THAT
BLOWERS WERE STOPPED
Admission of This Fact Attributed to
Lieutenant E. Friedericks, Who
Will Testify Before
Court of Inquiry
Especial to The Herald

SAN PEDRO, Feb. 15.-Men from the
torpedo boat destroyer Hopkins VINO
came ashore today intimate that the
court of inquiry called by Lieut.. L. Z.
Richardson, commander of the torpedo
fleet, may hold Lieut.. e. Friedericks to
blame for permitting the blowers to be
stopped while men were in the fire
room. The findings of the inquiry, how
ever, will not be made public, but will
be forwarded to the navy department
at Washington, and the public may
never know who was responsible for
the accident at San Diego yesterday, in
which seven men were scalded, one fa-
tally
Lieut.. Friedericks said on board the
Hopkins before the inquiry that there
was no necessity for the blowers run
ming ordinarily after the fires were
started while the boat was still at the
dock. He admitted, however that had
the blowers been running at the time
the boiler tube exploded sufficient draft
would have been created to carry the
steam up the smokestack, and that it
would not have escaped into the fire
room.
So many accidents have occurred on
the torpedo boats that the men dread
to go below to fire. Ten tubes have
blown out on the Hopkins during the
past nine months, and the men believe
there is something wrong in the con-
struction of the Thornycroft boilers.
An accident to the Hull as she was
coming through Golden Gate last jane
was almost identical to that at San
Diego. There have been three accidents
on the Hopkins of a similar nature,
but no fatalities before.
The fire room is a small compartment
about eight feet square. When the
matches are closed the only air that can
get into the room is through the blow
ers. The cause of the accident was a
tube pulling loose and letting water
into the fire box. This generated steam
and sent showers of fire and steam
back into the fire room, from which
the men had no escape except through
the closed matches.
The report from Mare Island that
some of the boiler tubes had been
plugged with rubbish to discredit the
work of Constructor Evans is declared
by Lieut.. Friedericks to have been
cut from whole cloth. He says he ex-
amined the boilers himself and knows
that no such attempt was made.

BEE MEN RAP
SUPERVISORS
KEEPERS PROTEST AGAINST
BOARDS ACTION
Apiarists Alarmed at Spread of Black
FouIbrood In Hives Through
out Southern End
of State

Secretary A. B. Shaffner of the Cali
fornia Beekeepers' association, in an
address yesterday afternoon in the
committee rooms of the chamber of
commerce at the second day of the
twentieth annual convention Of the
association, denounced the board of
supervisors of Los Angeles county for
not complying with the requests of a
petition they had placed on file re-
questing that Ralph Benton, a prom
inent member of their organization and
well known authority on the bee, had
not been appointed as inspector of
apiaries in Los Angeles county.
Entirely ignoring our requests, p"
said Secretary Shaffner, 'they gave us
George B. De Sellem, whom we have
never heard of, as a bee man. Mean
while the dread black foulbrood, which
1 am satisfied Mr.. Benton could have
checked with his knowledge of the dis
ease, has been eating into the ranks
of our hives, threatening to cripple the
bee industry. We would like an eX-
PLANTATION from the board of super
Visors."
over to the discussion of how to
check and stamp out the new disease,
which has suddenly made its appear
ance in the San Joaquin valley and
some parts of Los Angeles county and
has spread with alarming rapidity.
L. w. Cogshall of New York, one of
the recognized heads of the bee indus
try in the United States, presented a
plan for the determination of the dis
ease, which was acted on and accepted
by the association and will be put into
effect in the infected portions of the
state.
w. H. Allen of Ventura and H. G..
Brown Of Tulare inspectors of apiaries,
submitted reports. Complaints were
made from San Bernardino county that
the inspector of apiaries had neglected
to make his rounds regularly and had
allowed the new disease to make con-
siderable headway

Pursuing the idea he had previously
outlined that the city's police force is
in sore need of a shaking up" and
that action should be taken to pre-
vent the constant violation of law by
the police officers themselves, Presi-
dent John D. Works called the atten-
ton of the city council yesterday
morning to the act of two officers of
the purity" squad who, without a
warrant, forcibly entered the room of
a woman one night last week and ar
rested her on charge of vagrancy, at
the same time beating a man who went
to her defense.
President Works said:
According to reports two members
of the police force, without having any
warrant, entered the room OF woman,
arrested her and carried her to jail
To make the matter worse some man
who had interfered, and had right to
interfere, was also arrested and taken
to prison. 1t is generally understood
that this administration stands for the
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-16

upholding of the law. Two men, MEM
bers of the police force, have violated
the law. They should be promptly
dealt with and removed.
There is no excuse for that sort of
thing; no pretense of any reason was
given; the whole proceeding was in
violation of the constitution. 1t is due
the police force and the city council to
take notice of the matter
ITO make it still worse the acting
chief of police justified the course pur-
sued by the officers and declared that
the case should not have been made
public Only one newspaper had the
courage to publish the truth-The Los
Angeles Herald.
'T hope to see these occurrences pre-
vented as far as possible now that a
new chief of police has been ap-
pointed.
''I hope to see increased enforcement
of any respect for the law. If the po-
lice officers are going to violate it,
how can others respect the law"

President Works against. the police de-

NOCHANGE NOW,
SAYS GALLOWAY
POLICE CHIEF IS LEARNING
NEW DUTIES
PASSES BUSY DAY LOOKING OVER
DEPARTMENT
Will Study Conditions Thoroughly Be-
fore Recommending Any Al
eratlons-Requlres Time
to Master Details

There will be no immediate changes
In the police department" said Chief
of Police Alexander Galloway yester-
day afternoon. while there might be
need for certain changes. I do not
know just what those changes should
be, as l have not had time to famll-
iarize myself with conditions existing
in the department"
Chief Galloway was a busy man yes
terday. In the forenoon he was occu-
pied with consulting heads of the sew
eral departments and having matters
explained to him. At o'clock in the
afternoon he assumed his active duties
as chief of police and passed almost
the entire afternoon in inspecting the
central police station which he eX
amined from the Identification bureau
on the top floor to the stables in the
basement.
The new chief is a close observer,
and there was not a single detail con-
cerning the workings of the various
departments which seemed to escape
his notice. He paid close attention
to the equipment" as he termed it,
in the Jail and in the basement, where
the horses, the patrol wagons and the
new auto purchased by the city coun-
ell especially for the use OF the mead
of the police department are kept.
Chief Galloway said it would be sew
eral days before he will have mas
tered all the details so he will be able
to cope with any situation that might
arise.
Chief Galloway said it would be his
endeavor to treat every one fairly and
to control the police department to the
best of his ability and endeavor to
make Los Angeles one of the best
policed cities in the country.

The young Kansan left home Satur-

arrived in Waterloo over the Great

planned the situation to the police, who
began to interest themselves in seeing
that he arrived at his destination
When he landed in Waterloo he
could not remember the name of his
uncle or his grandparents. but finally
thought Of their names and was placed
aboard the 1870 Illinois Central train
yesterday afternoon for New Hartford
with letter from Inspector Welsh OF

agent at New Hartford. If all police
