Suggestion Is Rejected.
"The government of the United
States, while not Indifferent to the
friendly spirit in which it Is made.
can not accept the suggestion Of the
imperial German government that GER
tain vessels be designated and agreed
upon which shall be free on the seas
now illegally prescribed. The very
agreement would, by implication.
subject other vessels to illegal attack
and would be curtailment and there
fore an abandonment Of the principles
for which this government contends
and which in times Of calmer counsels
every nation would concede as Of
course.
"The government Of the United
States and the imperial German gov
ernment are contending for the same
great object, have long stood together
in urging the very principles upon
which the government of the United
States now so solemnly insists. They
are both contending for the freedom Of

United States will continue to con-
tend for that freedom. from whatever

and at any cost. It invites the prac-

It to press very solemnly upon the Inn

Friendship itself prompts 1t TO say to

OF those rights must be regarded by
the government OF the United States,

When the firemen chopped and forced
their way thru the side Of the hull of
the overturned boat, they found bodies
piled upon one another like so many
boxes of merchandise. They began
taking them out and placing them upon
the tug Racine which stood alongside
and from there they were placed on
stretchers and carried ashore.

The strength Of the current was an

other factor that engaged attention In
connection with the possibility that
the keel had grounded In the mud OF
the river bed. Those who discussed
the theory that the currents working
against the pull Of the hawsers to-
wards the dock might have made q
fulcrum Of the keel and turned the
boat over. This theory too. was based
largely on the alleged top heavy con-
dition of the vessel.
Still another theory was that q
tug started pulling on the steamer pe-
fore the dock lines were cast of. This
however, was denied.
Crowd Attacks Pede-sen.
When Captain Petersen was ar

ping and who had evidently just been
in the water, made a rush at him and
landed a heavy blow in the captain
face. The crowd which had gathered
closed In on the steamer captain and
the police had to use their clubs to
protect him from the infuriated crowd.
Physicians aiding in rescuing the
victims brought to the building near
the Eastland dock announced at !
