COMPANY DECLARES
y CHARGES UNTRUE

The following statement regarding
the drownings on the voyage OF the
steamship President was issued by c.
D. Dunann, passenger traff1c manager
of the Pacific Coast Steamship COM
pany, today;
steamer President did everything in
his power to rescue the passenger and
members of the crew who were unfor-
tunately drowned Wednesday evening.
"It must first be remembered that
a terrific sea was running and gale
was blowing at the rate of so miles
an hour This fact caused the cap
tain TO use extra precautions for the
safety of his ship first and rescue Of
a passenger second.
Everything on board ship was made
secure when the storm first broke.
Passengers were advised not to go on
deck because of the danger of being
washed overheard. and nets were
spread about for their protection.
when the cry Of Man overboardp
was raised it was very difficult to de-
termine from what part OF the ship
the accident occurred. Captain Paul
son remained on the bridge. where he
must stay on all occasions, to protect
the vessel. while Fourth Officer Shane
left the wheel to direct the launching
of the boat.
"Shane was in direct charge of the
lifeboat and accompanied 1t into the
water. Unfortunately. he was lost
Shane was a brave man and one Of
the most efficient in our service.
while the boat was being launched
Captain Paulson backed the vessel, at
the same time protecting it in the
heavy sea and terrific gale. There is
great danger in this undertaking. and
caution was used.
"I contradict the statement that
there was not enough life preservers
or life lines ready. This Is not true
There was plenty on hand. AS far
as again securing the lifeboats for
further precaution is concerned. that
would have been foolhardy. In sea
and gale such as they were battling
against it would have been next to
impossible and possibly would have
which was launched was not short
in its drop ropes. This did not cause
IL to overturn. It was one of the
monster waves that caused this accf-
dent
The passenger who took part In
the second rescue crew was allowed
to go into the boat because he was
former seaman and a call for vol
unteers had been issued. We were
not short of crew in any manner
whatever.
when an accident like this occurs,
it always happens that a great many
OF the passengers become excited.
They imagine they see defects that
don't exist. They really belonged be-
low. but IL the officers had insisted
they remained below, we would have
been censured for this action. 1t is
most difficult situation to meet.
Everything was done, / am sure,
for the rescue of the passenger and
the members Of the crew and 1 think
that good judgment was used. The
waves and wind made it extremely
difficult"

ACCUSES LAWYERS OF
BLOCKING HIS AEEAIRS

Haggi Anderson, a fireman attached
to engine company No. 2 in Philadel-

In his letter he says: I'VE have our
dear lord as an example. They cruci-

f. II. koolberger, a passenger,
describes as follows how Lea
cham met his death:
sSHe was standing mt the bow
and was washed of the star
board side by a comber. The
steamer stopped quick, then
backed. We then heard his
cries on the port side. He was
near enough to throw "a biscuit
TO him. There were NO lines or
life preservers on deck. Finally
somebody found a big, heavy
hawser, but 1t fell short. He
was then astern. Somebody ON
the bridge gave the order to
back. The propeller churned
and he must have been drawn
into the vortex and chopped to
pieces"

NJ. j. Hapgood writes The Banner
urging care lest fires be started in
the woods now that the dry season is
on. He says: "On account of the
well-nigh unprecedented drought the
danger from devastating fires, espe-
cially in our forests is extreme and
no word of warning can be sounded
too loudly. In case any fire is dis.
covered alarm should be sounded as
soon as possible from the nearest tel
ephone to the first selectman espe-
cially, as well as to any others. SO
extremely dry and dead is vegation
that fire will even run in pastures
and mowings that have been cut over
and in the forests, particularly the
soft wood, everything is as intlamable
as in the early spring time. There
are even now many smouldering fires
from burnt brush heaps and should
a heavy wind come up they would be
extremely dangerous.
