The catastrophe last Saturday when
an excursion steamer turned turtle and
drowned over 1000 people. puts terrible
emphasis upon the responsibility of in
spectors of public conveyances. So far
as the facts are now known they seem
to show that the owners of the ship
and the inspectors also were at fault.
The disaster does not surprise those
who from residence in Chicago and
70 mi a ri U yUi have
long been acquainted with the posi-
bilities. The Eastland. the doomed
boat, was the steamer crank Of the
lakes, and according to W. J. Wood,
naval architect, was known by the
owners in 1903 to be dangerous ship.
Maclay Hoyne, states attorney at Chi
cago, declares that a considerable
portion of the blame rests upon the
United States inspection bureau. If
the inspectors had done their duty the
accident could not have occurred" The
ship was considered unsafe by the
inspectors. Letters on file at WASH
ington predicted the sad occurrence.
The terrible teaching of the horrible
catastrophe Is that every inspector of
common carriers or Of other public
utilities ought always to consider him
self personally as well as officially re-
sponsible for the most faithful and eff
ficient performance of his task. He
should fully and solemnly realize that
he holds precious human lives in his
keeping. The slightest failure to do
his work conscientiously and thorough
ly may bring about disaster compar-
able to this at Chicago.
