CHICAGO. July 26-Plans for the investigation by federal, state, and city authorities to fix the blame for the capsizing of the Eastland are com .pleted The inquest starts tomorrow.
 Efforts continue to remove the vic tims of the disaster. Despite an all day search by divers but a dozen bodies were found. IL is estimated the number held under the boat vary be- tween 15O and 800
 The coroner and states attorney re iterate the charge that all possible causes for the disaster could be blam- ed on the negligence of federal iu- spectors' failure to enforce the ma rine laws The last inspection was made by Robert Reed, a Eovernmeu, official, who declared the steamer ft this spring and procured a position as chief engineer of the boat for his son. in-law, J. M. Erickson
 Efforts to tabulate inc dead to de termine the total death list. around one thousand or twelve hundred as some predict continue The Western Electric report four hundred employees still missing The probability of swell ing the list was announced by deJec- lives who assert tickets numbered 2,55O, exclusive of children, musicians, and crew, and the total may be 2.SOo instead of 2,46O. the number reported sold
 The complaint was made that sev- eral employees were forced to buy tick cts to the picnic fearing discrimna- ton by the foreman Correspondence seized shows the ship company urged that the more tickets sold the greater the rebate to aid the organization" According to the states attorney let ters showed the rebate offer was one third for all over four thousand, and less on those above 2,5OO
 William Olander, Secretary of the Lake Seaman's Union tonight said that many other steamers on the great lakes were as dangerous as the Eastlald because of faulty Construc- ton He said the Eastland was not properly designed and charged that United States inspectors, under Cap tain Westcott, of Detroit, chief of the Lake District, played into the hands of ship owners at the expense of sail ors and passengers
 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 taking all on board to their death. This statement and others of a sim liar nature caused the investigators to decide to look into the conditions of all vessels issuing from the Chica- go harbor. Captain Westcott was sub poenaed to tell his side of the question of Lake steamers

NACO PACT IS QUESTION
 AT ISSUE
Consul ]. L. Perez. of COnven- tionaliSt Government, Gives Views on NoW-FamouS Scott HiII-Maytorena Agreement.
FOLLOWS THAT OF SENIOR
 GUSTAVO ESPlN0ZA MlRELES
Perez Asserts That Pact Read There Should Be No Fighting and Said Nothing as to 0CCu- patton of the Port of Entry.

The -Maytorena pact. which was responsible for the evacua- ton of Naco by Carranza troops, un- der General Hill, early in the present year and which ended the long siege of the border port, has been called into question by both factions now in Sonora. Sunday morning Gustayo Espinoza Mireles, private secretary to Venusiano Carranza, gave the Gales side of the pact
 The Conventionalist adherents, however, have another side and J. To- zano Perez. their consul at Naco gave the following statement to the press yesterday
 MT Gustavo Espinoza Mireles, pri- yate secretary to Venustiano Carran- ga. has maliciously tried to hood wink the American people regarding the occupation of Naco by Carranzis- tas on the 18th instant
 Fortunately Bisbee and Naco people are aware of the facts,
 "On the goth of February Governor Maytorena sent ST. G. Breton to Naco as collector of customs, accompanied by ten of his civil guards, to take pos session of Naco which they did with out one shot being fired
 The Scott-Vnla-Maytorena pact reads that there should not be any fighting at the border town It does not mention which faction shall con trol the port We, the Conventional ists. occupied the port without any fighting All who are familiar with the Naco situation appreciate this.
 "On July l9, 300 Callistas attacked the port of Naco, where there was not military garrison, as We have al- ways stood by the Naco agreement be- tween Generals Scott, Villa and May torena.
 MT. Mireles seems to be well post ed in American history and military regulations of the United States, but he does not appear to sec the diner. ence between an armistice, when he quotes Article 145 or the United States Army Regulations, and an agreement. which is above regulations
 "Who violated the agreement?'
 "I respectively suggest that the pact which Gales has so many times re- ferred to as being violated and which temporarily, the control of Naco, does not give him the privilege of recruit ing on the American side or import ing ammunitions of war, through the neutral port of Naco which was pro hibited under the resolution of Con gress, approved March IA, 1912.
 "I would also like to state that, ac cording to verbal agreement in the ! presence of General Scott at the time the pact was made, it was stated thai | Maytorena should control, in purely i civil capacity, the port of Naco. We have expressed that prerogative ana
 have maintained the letter of tn, pact"

LONDON REPORTS

LONDON, July 26.-All of the crew of the American steamer Leelanawa is expected to reach Dundee tomorrow when 1t will be possible to obtain a
 full account of the sinking of the yes sel by German submarine off the Orkley Islands Sunday night Only a meagre report was Obtainable, but it is clear that submarine gave the steamer ample warning, even permit ting the crew Co collect part of their effects before taking them aboard the submarine which then with combined shell fire and bombs, sent the vessel to the bottom.
 The sinking of the Leelawaua creat- ed widespread discussion in England coming as 1t did coincident with the delivery of the American note to Ger many London evening papers in tell ing of the incident, employ in some cases suggestive captions such as "Unfriendly Act" But because the American note laid so much stress on the demand that American lives on merchant ships shall not be jeopar- dized without warning, it is difficult for the English mind to determine whether the sinking of the ship after the crew was taken off, constituted what the Americans will regard as a repitition of the acts which she in- sists must cease

GERMAN POLICY UNKNOWN

BERLIN. July 26.-lmpenal Chancel- Tor pr. von Bethmann Holweg con ferred with the Emperor at general headquarters. While the audience concerned other questions, the Amer ican note was also under discussion. Nothing tangible regarding the atti. tude of the communication will likely be made known before the chancel- lor's return to Berlin. Some officials are inclined to believe the American note closes diplomatic discussion most thoroughly. Others think reply Of some sort will be made by Germany and that the question of indemnidca ton for the American lives lost, per haps, will be suggested for reference to arbitration. This suggestion was considered before.

lions For Training rsaehsrs.,

The combined normal and industrial

proved list Of state normal schools.
This announcement was made recently
after an inspection by Mr.. Williams
from the Office of the state superintsnd
ent Of instruction.
and I. department, under Superintend
ent William A. Joiner, has been work
ing for a number Of years. The course

finally brought up to the required
standard.
Graduates of the normal department
are now entitled to four years pro.
visional certificate without examina.
ton, and after twenty -four months Of,
successful teaching they are entitled
to a life certificate good in thirty-dvs
states.
Now that the state department q
public instruction has given this de-
partment full recognition as one Of the
states authorized institutions for train
ing teachers. the legislature Of Ohio
has determined to properly equip the
normal and Industrial department for
its work.
The legislature, which recently ad-
journed its session, made liberal appro-
priations for this department Of work
at Wherefore. There will be erected
shops, a building. a gymnasium. water
system, hospital and recitation build.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Keep the Abdomen Warm.

NSCP khO FpdOtuSH w dIHs
Chilling of the abdomen is a
cause Of diarrhea. Unwholesome
foods and effectively cooked food
cause acute gastric indigestion in
those who eat them. and diarrhea
: can hardly fail to occur. especial
ly if the bowels become chilled.
1t will be found of great comfort
and service to wind warm
wooden band around the abdo-
meh to keep up the warmth in
digestive areas. A thin white
wool gauze strip Of flannel about
nine inches wide will make nice
fitting, snug bandages, which will
never prove to be too warm, even
during the hottest day in sum-
mer. Persons who say they are
subject to summer diarrhea"
will be free from future attacks
If they wear a wooden bandage
day and night throughout the
summer season.
