play stands a good chance Of getting
IT produced If It is really produceable

is supposed to be tied at the end Of the

WATERFOWL Wisconsin Jefferson County Tuesday August

1900 men, women and children
who had gone aboard of the vessel
for an excursion out on the lake
were drowned, shows that there had
been criminal negligence upon the
part of either the owners of the boat,
the officers, or the government ma
rine inspectors. Probably all were
guilty to some extent, but it would
seem, that if the government ship
inspectors knew as much about the
unsafe condition before the heart
rending accident as they claimed
to after it happened, they certain
ly failed to do their duty and were
crlminally negligent. But then,
they may have labored under the
impression that the La Toilette
seaman law made any inquiry I'M
necessary and so failed to do their
duty In the protection of the public.
