MONROE DISASTER
INQUIRY CONTINUES
...,,,...,.
Johnson Says He Was Steering
Northeast When He Sighted
Nantucket
BY associated Press

Philadelphia, Feb. 12.-The present
inquiry into the collision between the
steamships Nantucket and Monroe oft
the Virginia coast on. January 80, in
which forty-one lives were lost, will
no doubt lead to changes In the reg
ulations for the navigation of coasts
wise vessels, and also to the adoption
of rules increasing the efficiency OF
the wireless operators so as to assist
vessel commanders to ascertain the
proximity of other ships during foggy
weather.
During the examination of Captain
E.. f, johnson, of the Monroe, in the
trial of Captain Osmyn Berry, COM
mander of the Nantucket, charged
with negligence, the Monroe captain
said that operators do not always an
swer questions from other ships with
relation to their position.
Captain Johnson testified at to-days
hearing that he was steering north
easterly course when he first saw the
Nantucket about 500 feet away. At
that moment the Nantucket, he said,
was pointed at the starboard side of
the Monroe forward of the stack and
that the Nantucket's course was west
northwest.
| Plans of the Monroe, furnished by
her builders, were admitted In evi-
dence and Captain Johnson was ex-
amined to develop whether the Mon
roo was of good construction.

Theater at Popular
Prices Well Patronized


"Brewster's Millions" the now IA
miliar story of McCutcheon, was the
attraction at the Majestic last night.
A house about lthree-quarters filled
greeted the company presenting the
show which has played Harrisburg
on several previous occasions. The
show though old, Still has drawing
power. and as proven last night is still
capable of affording good amusement.
The company lost no opportunity to
bring out all of the good humor
which the playwright has woven into
the production, and although at points
the acting was weak; yet the whole
gave the audience satisfaction.
Louis Nilsson as Brewster, Mae Ro-
land as Peggy, and Earl Christie as
Sunshine McCloud carried their parts
well, although Monty Brewster's work
might have been improved had he
not insisted upon trying so individu-
ally to secure laughs" However, a
great part of this may be excused
upon the grounds that his part of the
show makes him act as a man ap-
parently crazy with the hard work.
of spending money; and he should,
therefore, not be held accountable.
On the whole the show pleased
and demonstrates the fact that Har-
risburg does like the, theater at pop
ular prices.
