nerce. in l,is slaa md ling pf the Eastland

A**v " 9Ak3 S~ N seanse of this falling in the char Eacter of the Secretary, the mayor of Chicago is about to make as personal trip to see President Wilson and ask sthat an independent commission De
 named to make an unbiased inaui1s
 into this terrible disaster. Not only
 the mayor, but the City Council oi
 Chicago, and the Federation of Aa-
 Dor. backed by numerous socletles'
 are up in arms against the way sec
 retary Redfield is doing things. Ine9
 all demand an impartial lnVestisA-
 ton.
 It is the duty of the Department of
 Commerce to furnish the people o1 Chicago with the true facts in the
 Eastland disaster. The steamboat Ill., spection Service which comes direcst- ly under the Department of Com rlerce. and which is held responsible for the inspection of all ships plying between states, has had some insid- lOuS 1nS1nualIOHSE IStSl uPOA II ny Gil0 people of Chicago. For the honor of this branch ofa.the Department If Commerce, Secretary Redfield should search to the bottom of things. He should not try to cover up any mis- takes, if mistakes have been made by the steamboat inspectors If they have made no mistakes his investigsl- ton should exonerate them If they have made mistakes they should be sunamarily punished just as anyone not in the service should be punished who is responsible forgthe condition Of the Eastland.
 Secretary Redfield will find that his prestige has been impaired by his actions in trying to vindicate ms subordinates without thoroughly loolS- ing into things. Loyalty to men n his department might be appreciated by, the men who benefit, but the peo> pie of Chicago and the entire coun- try will not rejoice in such conduct ! rom "a man WHO OIS pAsS8 " ii if 'A place Fairness is what the Amer ican people want, it is what they | F mand, and it is what they must have. Let Secretary Redfield understand this

Care 'sll and comprehensive inspection of ,teamboats is consummation de- 7outly to be wished, There has been l laxity in this work which has been covered up because everything went along smoothly until the Eastland turned over
 It is admitted that the inspection Of steamboats has been done in hapha1- ard manner and sometimes by infer- for, men This is all wrong. This work should be of a scientific nature. Trained men should be in the service and enough of them to do the work properly me government already has the nucleus for good inspection ser vice and this should be developed. Only men who are men worth while should be added to it's list. No one would want to- blame the inspection bureau for the loss Of life on the Eastland, but it having been proven that there is something aniss in this Secretary Redfield would do well to change the present order of things. When he has done this he can defend the service all the better.

THIS BOY PROVED A HERO.
BY Recent Wreck of Steamer Santa
Clara on Oregon Coast.

Marshfield, Ore.-The stranded
steamer Santa Clara began breaking
up Friday. Quantities of goods of
various kinds were coming ashore and
hundred or more persons gathered
on the beach and were selling and tax
ing away the flotsam. Sheriff Alfred
Johnson and seven deputies attempt
ed to stop the looting but were defied
by the crowd
1t is now learned that the reason
why Robert Shearer, winch driver
aboard the Santa Clara, was not re-
ported as missing until late Friday
was that he actually had been seen on
shore.
He left the Santa Clara in the first
life boat which was loaded with wom-
en- and children. The boat capsized
in the breakers. According to eye
witnesses all those who were able to
swim had reached shore when Shear
er, with a child in each arm, finally
crawled out of the swirling water onto
the beach. With both hands engaged,
he had waged a desperate battle, but
had refused to release either one of
the children to assure his reaching the
shore. Blood was streaming down his
face from where piece of wreckage
had hit him.
There's a woman out there. I'm go
ing back" he gasped, and stumbled out
into the darkness.
He never returned and the sea has
not yet given up his body

FAY HAD LOTS OF MONEY.
But 1t Is Not Thought He Was Work
ing for German People.

New York.-At least 100000 has
been expended in carrying out alleged
German plots in this country in an eff
fort to prevent war munitions from
reaching the allies, according to an
official investigating the cases of Rob-
ert Fay, who claimed to be German
army lieutenant, and five alleged ac-
completes. Federal authorities now
admit they consider unreliable the
lengthy story which Fay readily told
concerning his history and activities in
connection with plots against steam
ships carrying munitions from this
country to the allies.
Fay, it is said, is now believed to be
Hungarian, whose real name is Feki.
Federal agents are now trying to trace
the source of the large amount of
money used.
