death.
Chicago, Ill.-Bodies of 500 persons,
killed in the capsizing of the steamer
Eastland at its wharf in the Chicago
River, have been recovered after 40
hours of searching by divers around
the steel hulk, still lying on it's side,
half submerged, where it rolled while
laden with 2408 excursionists.
The total dead as a result of the
turning over Of the top-heavy ship
still remains at approximately 1000,
according to Coroner Hoffman, whose
reports indicated that probably 100
bodies were still held in the mud of
the river by the superstructure of the
overturned boat. While only 1902
passengers of the Eastland have regis
tered with the Western Electric Com
pany as saved, 1t is thought that
about ATS survivors, including the
crew of ~, had failed to report their
escape.
About three score bodies were re-
covered from the wreck before noon
July 20, but after that hour divers
discovered only one corpse before
they quit work for the night. Deputy
Coroner Linderman, who had charge
of the work at the river side, said he
did not expect to find many more
bodies before the steamer was righted,
and possibly none then.
Estimates as to how many persons
might be pinned down by the sunken
vessel varied widely, some declaring
there was none, while others esti-
mated as high as 800. There was
much confusion in the totalling of
bodies recovered owing to duplica-
lions and removals.
AS result all sorts of estimates
were scattered about the city, with
guesses from 1900 to 1890, but Off
GERS in charge of clearing the wreck
have been unable to tabulate more
than-901 bodies when the morgue was
cleared of all but a score of corpses.
All the rest of the victims, mostly
women and children, have been iden.
titled and removed by relatives.
Eastland Considered Unsafe.
In a statement issued States Attor-
ney Mackay Hoyne said, regarding his
investigation of the accident:
1--WE insist that considerable por-
ton of the blame for the Eastland dis
aster rests upon the United States in
spection bureau. If the inspectors of
the bureau had done their duty the
accident would not have occurred
I'VE know that the ship was con-
sdered unsafe by the inspectors, be-
cause there are letters on file in
Washington which predicted this dis
aster. l have copies of these letters
and may introduce them before the
coroner's inquest"
