.'The deck was cut off," MT. Wood de- clared today, but 1t would be impossible to fix the cause of the accident until 1t is known whether the other conditions were fulfilled.
 '"The design of the vessel would not rermit it's operation as other vessels are operated and great care had to be taken at all times"
 The Eastland was built by the Port Huron shipbuilding company. and on its trial run in 1903 failed to come up to epecifications. according to Wood, who was one of three judges to pass on It's performance.
 ..The gangways were not watertight," sa,d Mr. Wood, land was called on to correct the fault as well as some of the ether faults in the interior of the hull.
 "It was most important that the water ballast compartments should be filled at

al times. It was also important that the passengers should not crowd on one side of the upper deck.
 Tt seems to be evident that the pas sengers were not where they belonged when this accident happened.
 "The fault in the Eastland was in the hull. I told the builders at the time was called to inspect some parts of 1t that 1t was not properly designed.
 After the Eastland was completed $35,- 900 was spent to correct faults. but the vulnerable faults were in the hull and got my first sight of it today as saw the boat overturned in the river There are certain fundamental principles apply ing to naval architecture which seemed not to have been carried out.
 "The Eastland had almost no body at all and this was its main weakness.
 "Other boats on the lakes look as top- heavy as did the Eastland, but they are absolutely safe because their hulls are properly constructed

w. K. GREENEBAUM
 MAKES STATEMENT

w. K. Greenebaun, manager of the h. diana Transportation company, made the following statement late in the day:
 'The Indiana Transportation company expresses its deepest sorrow and sym pathy for the bereaved in the Eastland catastrophe. The Eastland was not over loaded. There were 240S tickets taken up at the Eastland gangway by the Eastland collectors under federal supervision. The government capacity mark is set at 2500.
 At this time the Indiana Transporta- tion company is unable to voice an opinion on the cause of the accident because the Eastland was hired for the day and the captain and crew were not employees of the Indiana Transportation company.
 "We are doing everything in our power in aiding all investigations both by legal authorities and by the press.
 'To both we have thrown open every facility for information and relief at our command"

KEPT STABLE BY
 WATER BALLAST

"The steamer Eastland was kept stable by means of water ballast system,' Ebert said. Water is pumped into the chambers in the ship until she becomes steady. This was done before ever freight is taken on board. The first thing I noticed this morning was that the East land began to lean to starboard. Eric son. the chief engineer, was in charge of the pumps used to pump the water into the chambers. He said Boys, steady her up little,' and then we pumped water into the ether side until she was up even and all right. We had just evened her up when a launch came down the river and past the Eastland, and the crowd on the deck rushed over to the port side to look at it. The weight all on one side apparently proved too much, and the Eastland began to list badly.
 we worked frantically at the pumps to try to bring her back, but she was too far gone.'
 Eyewitnesses informed the police that there was man in the launch with a moving picture camera and that this at tracted the attention of passengers on the Eastland who rushed to one side of the boat.

GOOD NEWS FOR
FARMERS HORSES
Civics Department of Woman's
Club to Have Hitching Shed
Erected This Week

At the beginning of the club year,
the Civics department of the Kenne-
wick Woman's club set out with the
determination to leave behind it some
tangible evidence Of its existence and
to dedicate to the public something Of
practical and permanent benefit. The
idea Of erecting hitching shed where
the farmers horses might be protected
from the weather was conceived and
as result Of the ladies' persistent
and tireless efforts this week will see
the realization of their hopes.
Tomorrow morning force of men
will start work under l. A. Boynton
who has volunteered to superintend
the job and before the day is over the
sheds will have been completed, or
nearly so. They are to be built on the
DR.. Pallister property on the site of
the old Jail. the owner having given
the ladies the free use Of the lots for
an indefinite time.
High School to Help
The labor will all be donated while
the ladies expect to pay for the mater
ial through the cooperation Of the
high school and by volunteer subscrip-
tions. The latter part of April the
high school will give, under the direc-
ton Of Miss Shier and Miss Nelson,
the operetta, "The Drum Major" and
the entire net proceeds will be turned
over to the ladies Of the civics depart
ment.
It is thought this amount will be
sufficient to nearly pay for the mater
ial but it is probable some small cash
donations will be necessary to take
care of the miscellaneous expenses.
All those who are willing to subscribe
are requested to- notify Mrs. S. M.
Henderson, chairman Of the depart
ment, or leave their subscriptions at
the Courier Reporter Office for her.

The Koran.
"Try mel" said Bud.
 THE END.

In a recent number of the London Eyeryman is a review of the Koran and its author Mohammed. It Is one mans book, and that man not an inn aginative one, but essentially man of action and lacking in invention. The Koran is jumbled mass of pre- cepts, doctrines, threats, injunctions, divine commands, narrative. lyric and epic poetry. It's heaven and hell are too material for modern thought "Ob- viously," says .Everyman, "the Koran is meant not to be read with the eye, but to be recited, when the repetitions are not nearly so pronounced. It re- fleets a social order, system of ideas as remote from Rome and more espe- cially from Greece, as our own are from the North American Indian. But neither time nor evolution can utterly ouench the flame of Mohammed's per sonality, which carried his followers to reckless excesses. to the sov- ereignty of empires which created an art peculiar to Islam, and founded age long traditions"
