was. responsible for the accident Captain
Johnson was on the stand all day.
While primarily Captain Berry is on
trial. the board of inspectors has instruct
tlons from the department of commerce to
make a thorough inquiry into every phase
of the collision, with a view to the enact
ment of federal laws to assist in prevent
ing similar disasters
Captain Berry is charged with failing 70

collision; failing to ascertain whether the
wireless operator was on duty. and with
being careless in not ascertainng through
the wireless operator whether any other
vessels were close by in the fog. He
pleaded not guilty.

Waited as much as two degrees from the
standard magnet compass. The instru-
ment was sufficiently true to run the ship,
he added, and It was the custom of mas
ters in the coastwise trade to use such
compasses. The night of the collision
was alternately clear and foggy. The COL
lsion occurred during a fog. The first
knowledge he had that the Nantucket was
near him was when he heard a whistle
three points on the starboard bow. He
was running at half speed and stopped
his engine to locate the other ship and
blew his whistle twice to let the vessel
know he was steering to port. He judged
the whistle was about 375 feet away.
Captain Johnson's second knuWlcd-e Of
the proximity of vessel was when he
saw a faint light four points to star
board and about $40 feet away, he said
He believed the other vessel was going
in the opposition direction to him on a
parallel line, but a moment later the ship
came out of the fog almost at right angles
and struck the Monroe on the starboard
side. aft of the pilot house.
Realizing that collision could not be
averted Captain johnson said he sig
nailed full steam ahead and ported his
vessel, hoping to receive only a glancng
blow. Only two minutes elapsed between
the time he heard the Nantucket's first
whistle and the collision. Asked what
action he took to find out through the
wireless operator the proximity of other
vessels. Captain johnson said he had in
structed the operator to ascertain the To-
cation of the steamer Hamilton, which
| he knew was coming down the coast.
| The vessel was located near the Della
ware Capes. The Nantucket must have
been between the Hamilton and the Mon
roe, Captain Johnson said, but the op-
orator of the Nantucket did not make
| his presence known.

BIG TASK IN OUTLINE.
MIR. Prouty Explains Method of Find
ing Worth of Properties.

Washington Feb. 11.-An outline OF
the tremendous task entrusted by Con-
gress to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission-the valuation of the property
of all common carriers subject to the
commissions jurlsdiction-was given
here tonight by Commissioner c. a.
Prouty before the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States in annual
convention The commissioner cleared
up a popular misconceptlon as to the
nature of the undertaking, resulting
from tho use of the term physical
valuation" while the matter was pend
ing before Congress and since. He eX-
plained that the commission is to de-
termine just what each carrier IS
worth, taking into consideration what
it cost to produce the property and to
build up the service; what 1t would
cost to reproduce 1t to-day. and what
the line or company would sell Tor
with its enhanced or deprecated valua-
tion, its acquired privileges and its
patronage
That mart of the work relating to rail-
roads alone was dealt with at length
by Mr.. Prouty. He said that the task
had not sufficiently progressed so that
its details could be either intelligenty or
prodtably discussed. Preliminary surveys
are being made, the country being di-
v!ded for the purpose, into five districts,
by States, each containing approximately
$4,000 miles of railroad.
lURVEYS ALREADY BEGUN.
Each of these districts" said Mr.,
Prouty, will have an organization of its
own which will conduct the surveys with
in those particular limits. Subsequently
these surveys will be worked out partly
in the district and partly at the head Of
flee in Washington, Surveys began in al
the districts except one about February
], and will begin in that district about
February 10.
"It has seemed to the commission the
part of wisdom to proceed with caution
until sure of its ground. In this view a
railroad has been selected in each dis
trict upon which these surveys will pro
ceed with delberation and in such man
ner as to afford kind Of instruction
school to all employees This preliminar,
work will occupy three or four months
which means that we shall not be II
a position to rapidly develop our organi
zation until about July l. Beginning then
or slightly before, our force can be rap
idly increased.
"While 1t Is somewhat hazardous tt
make an estimate of the time required
without more experience than we have
had, 1t is my opinion that the felc
surveys ought to be concluded infron
four to six years from July ] next
1t is hoped that the accounting ano
other work win keep pace with oui
,asld surveys. The putting together

Of these facts, that is the actual val

behind the obtaining of the facts
themselves. The commission will in
the near future have all the data with
respect to some railroads, but whether
n valuation will be at once announced
in such cases must depend upon the
method which the commission selects
for determining the various questions
which will arise and to which refer
