Ii. PROBE IS
PLEASING TO
COMMISSIONERS

That the investigation of the affairs
OF the Inter-Island, Steam Navigation
Company, completed yesterday after
noon by the Public Utilities Commits
sion, has been a highly successful and
satisfactory one 10 the concensus of
opinion of the members of the COM
mission, as expressed by them today.
As a result of the fourth and final
hearing yesterday the way is cleared
for the completion Of the commission 8
report. a copy of which is to be sub
mitted to the governor for his peru.
sal and later published. II is expect
ed that the chief executive will ap-
point a new chairman at an early
date.
Present at the final hearing were
A. J. Gignoux, ]. l. Mclean, vice.
president Of the company; the COM
pany's attorneys and A. G. Smith, depu.
ty encouragement. In reply to ques-
ton as to the policy of the directors
Of the company regarding dealings
with the public, Mr.. Mclean stated
that 1t is one Of strict fairness both
to the public and to employees. He
added that the company is endeavor-
Ing to maintain service to meet the
needs Of the public and that, with this
end In view, many large steamers
have at different times been added to
the Inter-Island feet. As an illustra.
ticn, he pointed out that the company
now is maintaining in reserve the
tseamer Kilauea, valued at nearly
100000. to be used to prevent inter.
ruptions in the service in case of
emergencies.
A number OF questions bearing di.
rectly on the business Of the company
were readily answered by Mr.. Nc.
Lean. The gross income of the com.
pany on all passenger traffic between
island ports during 1913 was 1851 100;
gross income from transportation Of
merchandise, including sugar and
livestock, was $927,737; from towage,
salvage and sundries, $27,862. From
1899 to 1901 the monthly operating
expenses Of the company increased
from $4,000 to $4,000, owing to the
cost Of safety appliances installed in
keeping within the federal maritime
regulations. Since 1904. the date OF
the company's consolidation, marine
losses have amounted to more than
100000. This includes groundings
and fires, and the loss of the steamer
Kauai.
One complaint against the company
based on the fact that 1t does not al
low stop-oyer privileges. was discuss
ed at some length. Acting Chairman
u N. s. Williams stated that he was
Of the opinion the complaint was we'll
founded, Mr.. Mclean, however, said
that the company had refused those
privileges without extra charge from
the fact that two cabins were used in
the event. this necessitating an ex.
pense to the company in the way of
providing clean bedding.

Is Colonel Roosevelt a faker?
Is he a new kind Of a DR.. Cook?


And is II a fact that he really dis
covered the River of Doubt now nam
ed by him Rooseyelt's river?
On all of these questions Fred OhTt,
engineer in the bureau of permanent

has an answer, and the answers are
not very favorable to the exploring and

Colonel Roosevelt is expected to ap-
pear before the Royal Geographical
Society in London and produce his

1T seems remarkahle-or rather,
impossible-to me, knowing the coun'
try, that this river, of the size de-
scribed by Roosevelt, could have been
discovered by him. Many boats col
lecting rubber go up and down the
rivers all the time. Travel by boat is
the only means7the have" says Ohrt
1T is nothing unusual for these
boats to go up the Madeira several
hundred miles. That being the case
they would not fail to pass the point
where Roosevelt located his river He
describes 1t as 1000 miles long and
the largest affluent of the Madeira.

and comments on Roosevelt's claimed
discovery. .-.: -.
The colonePs statement as made to
the New York Times is given as fol
lows: l..@..:. =:
1.-THE length of the river we cannot
give accurately. We computed it by
dead reckoning at between 1400 and
1900 kilometers. I should say 900, $50
or POSSIBLY, 1000 miles. It runs be
tween nearly the thirteenth and fifth
parallels of latitude. That Is, it GOV
ers about seven and half degrees OF
latitude. OF course, that is about
doubled by the curves. AS you will
see, If you will turn to the map OF Eu
rope. that Is a distance considerably
longer than the Seine and Rhone com
bined-as far as can see, allowing
for the slant of the curves, about a
long as the Rhine or the Elbe.
"At this point Of the river, where
the upper Aripona, socalled, comes in
we measured the bottom, and it Is
about 1900 cubic meters second, by
which you can get a fair idea OF Its
volume in comparison with other riv
ers. Excepting for the 100 miles OF
$50 miles from the mouth it is not nav
igable for steamboats,, because 1t is sc
broken by rapids and such a very
swift river, but 1t is navigable FOL

When Waves Aren't So
Troublesome.

Mn. Frank echepper sat In the little
home that she ard her husband. q clam
digger. have on the marshes OF Sand Bay,
Csnarsie. and recalled all the times she
had been worried because her boy Fred
liked to play about the water when he
was q child. She thought Of how often
she fretted or scoided because he wanted
to 70 out rowing when he was hardly big
enough to carry an oar.
But yesterday these were pleasant
memories. For II Fred. who Ia now Il:
years old, had not taken to the water as
a youngster. II he had not always been
wantins to row. there would be Grape on
four door posts In Brooklyn now and the
mothers or wives Of four young men
would be grieving.
SO she was busy telling friends who
dropped In from Sand Bay and Brooklyn
and telling them over again-the story
that all Sand Bay was talking about
how Fred Schepper had cared TO 20 out
through the rough sea In his shallow boat
last Saturday night and had saved four
men who were clingius TO the bottom Of

quarters OF a mile or shore
The men, Joseph Rand OF 1914 De Kalb
avenue. Joseph We!nstein OF 100 Melrose
street. David Webster OF Sand Bay and
Frank Sclensky OF 329 Melrose street, had
started out from Canarsie late Saturday
afternoon for Rockaway Point In the
motor boat. When they were less than

They shouted for help. Their cry was

ran to the water edge and saw the men
hanging to the boat.
