Efforts to discover the cause OF the
accident were begun long before the
work of rescue was over. Federal
and county grand juries we're ordered,
a coroner's jury was impaneled and all
the officers and crew OF the Eastland
were arrested.
President Wilson has ordered that
complete investigation be made by
the department Of commerce into
the sinking Of the excursion steamer
Eastland- Acting Secretary Sweet, OF
the department, sent him word that
the cause OF the disaster would be
looked into and the president directed
that nothing be left undone TO Ak the
responsibility.
Identification OF victims was all but
completed Monday night. except for
corpses still In the river. Checking
against Implications In the various
lists proceeded all night.
William 0lander, secretary OF the
Lake Seamen's union, said on Monday
that there were many other ships on
the Great lakes as dangerous as the
| Eastland because OF faulty construc-
ton. He held that the Eastland was
not properly designed and charged
that United States inspectors under
/ Captain Charles II. Westcott OF De-
troit. chief OF the lake district, had
| played into the hands of shipowners
at the expense OF sailors and passen-
gers. He said this was shown by the
/ fact that thirty-one ships passed by
the inspectors had sunk In the great
lakes since 1905, several OF them tax
1 ing all on board TO death.
H Captain John II. O'Meara OF the tus
Kenosha, which was hitched to the
Eastland to tow the ship out Of the
river, testified that he did not take
hold OF the Eastland until after 1895
several minutes after the ship had be

FORE 500 ENTHUSIASTIC
FANS.

In hotly contested game witness
ed by perhaps some 500 fans, the
Methodists nOsed out a TO victory
over the Christians in the Twilight
league last evening.
The game was full Of excitement
from beginning to end, neither team
being ahead for any length Of time.
The Methodists won the toss and
chose the field. The Christians start
ed out with a rush, showing over
three runs in the first half. The
Methodlsts tied them up In their hair
and from then on both teams played
good ball.
The Christians again took the lead
In the second by running in three
more tallles. but were again tied by
the Methodists in the third, who took
a two-run lead in the fourth.
Fighting every step OF the way the
Christians tied the score in the fifth
and forced an extra inning.
r. Harget was the first man up in
the sixth and took first when one OF
Mines benders found the center Of
his back. C. Harget singled and r.
