OFFICERS OF LOST
VESSEL ON STAND
Board of Steamboat Inspectors Making
Rigid Inquiry Into the Sinking
of the Monroe.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. l6.-The con
duct Of the first and second officers of
the steamship Monroe, sunk off the Vir-
ginia coast, was under scrutiny OF the
local board of steamboat inspectors to-
day rather than the actions of Captain
Osmyn Berry Of the Nantucket, who is
on trial charged with negligence in
connection with the disaster. These Of
tcers were Guy T.. Horsley and Joseph
F.. Gateley. Horsley manned one of
the two boats that got away from the
Monroe and Gateley jumped overheard
as the vessel went down and was picked
up by boat,
Horsley testified that in a ire drill
one of the boats had been lowered and
manned in one minute and ffty-two
seconds. The members of the board
said they could not understand why
some of the Monroe's lifcboats could
not be lowered, even in five minutes.
Both witnesses replied that the ship
listed Immediately after the collision,
and in a few minutes she was almost
on her beam ends, making it impossible
to launch them. The witnesses could
not say why these boats and life-rafts
were not cut away and allowed to fall
into the water, where struggling pas
sengers and members of the crew could
have hung onto them. Both witnesses
said that so far as they knew no orders
were given to cut away this life-saving
equipment.

JUDGE MARSHALL
STOPS CONSTABLE
Makes Order in Behalf of
Creditors in Sommers
Bankruptcy Case.

Judge John 4. Marshall of the federal
district court yesterday granted TO Dale
II. Park, attorney representing petition
ing creditors in the involuntary bank
ruptcy case against Mrs III. 3. SommerS
a restraining order and an order to show
cause against Constable George y.
Tnees.
TInges has charge of property owned
by Mrs. Sommers, and he planned to
hold u sale February 20. at noon. The
order OF the federal Judge acts as an in
junction against the sale and requires
the constable 10 appear in court FeDru-
airy 23 to show cause why he should
not turn over the property.
The attorney alleged In asking for the
orders. that Mrs. Sommers not only COM
mitted an act Of bankruptcy in preferring
one creditor over another. but that the
property held by the constable is really
exempt.
January II, 1914, Frankel. Franke &
Co. OF Kansas City, Mo. received judg-
ment in Justice Harry S. uarper's court
against Mrs. Sommers for certain sum
Of money. Mrs. Sommers was in the
womens retail clothing business at SO
East Broadway. The same day writ OF
alta chment was issued and property con-
sisting OF triple mirror and cash regis
ter turned over to the constable. When
the attorney attempted TO stop the pro-
ceedings in justice court he failed, and
his application TO Judge Marshall was the

You may also agree with me that.
If II were possible to eliminate this

our citizens, Ii would be a most
happy circumstance and one that
would meet with the hearty approval
OF all classes.
