cHIcAeo's GREAT CALAMITY.

Latest figures given out by
Coroner Hoffman, OF Chicago, on
the death toll of the capsized
steamer Eastland, showed that
1872 bodies have been recovered,
and that 1000 OF the remaining
1883 passengers have registered
with the Western Electric Com
pany as saved. or the SIG unac-
counted for, II was thought that
about 400 were alive and 1888 still
In the river, making the total dead
approximately 1000.
"A considerable portion of the
blame for the Eastland disaster
rests upon the United States In
spection Bureau" said Maclay
Hoyne, states attorney, in a state
ment in Chicago regarding his in
vestigation OF the wreck. III the
inspectors had done their duty the
accident could not have occurred.
We know the ship was considered
unsafe by them. because | have
copies of letters sent to Washing
ton which predicted this occur
renee. may introduce these let
ters at the inquest"
The states attorney will submit
TO the grand jury a letter written
In 1913 by John d. York, a naval
architect Of Chicago, to the steam.
boat inspector warning him that
the Eastland was not safe boat.
Colonel Hannah, secretary to
Senator La Toilette, puts the
blame on faulty laws and lax in
spection. He says a representa-
tive of the Seamen's Union had
called the attention of the inspec-
tion service to the danger OF al
lowing large crowds on boats OF
the Bastland type.
Acting Mayor Moorhouse de-
clded to raise a relief fund OF
100000 to be distributed under
the direction of the National Red
Cross. In addition to this the
Western Electric Company, whose
employees formed the majority of
the Inflated excursion party, an
nounced that 100000 from its EN-
ployes insurance funds was avail
able for relief.
The most discussed theories OF
the disaster are four: That the
boat was overloaded; that she was
not properly ballasted; that tug
that made fast to warp the East
land from the docks started pull.
ing too soon; that congestion OF
passengers rushing to the port
side, attracted by some passing
sensation, tipped the steamer
over.

Chicago.-More than 1000 persons,
most of them women and children,
were drowned Saturday within a few
feet of land by the capsizing of the
steel steamer Eastland as ii was about
to leave It's wharf in the Chicago river
with $500 relatives and friends of en-
ployes of the Western Electric Com
pany for an excursion across Lake
Michigan. The ship rolled over on
its side in 25 feet of water within Ave
minutes after II began to list.
Three Investigations Under Way.
The cause OF the capsizing has not
oeen determined, but Federal, city and
State officers are conducting investi-
cations to determine whether the ship
was top heavy from faulty designing,
was improperly ballasted or was poor
ly handled in warping from the wharf.
Marine architects asserted that the
Eastland was faulty in design, that
the top deck had been removed be-
cause OF the tendency of the ship to
list and also pointed TO the possibility
that the ship had been unevenly or in
sufficiently ballasted The Eastland
used water ballast, so that 1t could
pump out some on entering shallow
lake harbors, so some investigators
are working on a theory that the bal
last tanks were not filled and the
rushing of passengers to one side of
the deck caused it to roll over,
1000 Were Out For Merry Day.
Under misty skies 1000 men, women
and children wended their way to the
Clark street dock to fill five large lake
steamers with holiday mirth in trip
to Michigan City. The steamer East
land brought to Chicago from Lake
Erie after an unsatisfactory career
was the first to be loaded.
Rain began to fall as the wharf
superintendeuts lifted the gangplanks
from the Eastland, declaring that the
Government limit of $500 passengers
had been reached. White dresses
peeped from raincoats along the shore
rails as those aboard waved good-by
to friends on shore waiting to board
the steamer Theodore Roosevelt and
other vessels.
Then the passengers swarmed to
the left side Of the ship, as the other
steamers drew up the river toward
the wharf. A tug was hitched to the
Eastland, ropes were ordered cast off
and the, steamers engines began to
hum The Eastland had not budged,
however Instead. the. heavily laden
ship wavered sidewise, leaning first
toward the river bank. The lurch was
so startling that many passengers
Joined the large concourse already on
the river side of the decks.
