MORGUE IN A WAREHOUSE
Row After Row of Bodies Fill Great
Rooms as Waiting Crowds Weep
and Curse-Pathetic Scenes
Are Witnessed.

Chicago, July 26.-The tug Kenosha,
tied to the pier west of the Clark
street bridge, formed an approach to
the liner.
From the tugs after rail one
stepped on to the great iron side of the
overturned steamer and scrambled up
to the fat length, taking care of the
open portfolios, and the holes cut by
the acetylene blowpipes.
The side of the boat had become as
deck-a place where the rescuers
might stand
The scene was confusing.
Policemen, officers, fremen, SOL
diers, divers, men in bathing suits
life guards priests, reporters, physi-
clans and others jostled and bumped
each other.
Every second came the cry:
"Stretcher!" and a dozen men would
rush toward the spot. Then came the
warning. "Gangway! Gangway!" and
four men would go by carrying still,
blanket-covered figure.
Now and then policeman walked
through the crowd, carrying bundled
corpse of a child in his arms.
Here two men were pumping air to
a liver down in the depths, there
group waited, pulling on ropes,
watching someone down below
ready to haul up another body when
the signal came
Office of Church.
A priest stood by one such hole.
There was a shawl round his shout
ders and he held an umbrella.
II have given them all conditional
absolution," he said; some who came
out alive, but almost dead, received
the last sacrament, the viaticum."
"All ready upstairs!" came the
shout from below.
The firemen pulled on the ropes.
The body came up bit by bit.
"Stretcher!" bawled someone, and
in a trice there we're two stretchers
waiting.
The hand of the priest made the
sign of the cross as the body came
into view and his lips muttered:
Ego tie absolve peccatis tuis, in
nomine PATHS, ca Fill, ct Spirit Sane
ii, Amen!-I absolve you from all
your sins, in the name of the Father.
and Of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.

1t was the body of young girl,
dressed in white dress. There were
white pumps on the feet and white
silk gloves on the arms. She held
clasped in one hand gold watch. 1t
was opened.
"Ah, poor SOUL" said the priest.

ing loading. equipment, etc. The trou-
bic is we have no laws properly di-
rected. A boat like the Eastland
should not be used for excursion pur-
poses. 1t should carry freight in its
hold and about 500 passengers.
I'VE should have laws governing
the construction of vessels for specific
purposes. For instance, an excursion
vessel should be built according to
specifications of beam, ballast, etc..
which would insure greater safety.
Boats like the Eastland were not in

Vessel Safe.

Chicago-"The Eastland was the
crank of the lakes, and as far as /
know the only crank on the lakes. .
w. ]. Wood, naval architect, who was
called by the owners in 1903 to cor
rect faults in the boat, asserted.
In 1903 Wood made representations
to Capt. Ira Mansfield, local steam
boat inspector, which resulted in an
order to cut off the top deck of the
vessel and to keep the water ballast
compartments filed.
THE deck was cut off in pursuance
of Captain Mansfeld's order" Mr..
Wood said, "but it would be impos-
sible to pass on the cause of the acct
dent until it is known whether the
other conditions were fulfilled at the
time of the overturning of the boat.
The Eastland has been in operation
on Lake Erie and has not met with
accident, but evidently the owners
were acquainted with its faults and
operated it accordingly"
The Eastland was built by the Port
Huron Shipbuilding company and on
it's trial run in 1903 failed to come
up to specifications, according to Mr..
Wood.
The gangways were not water
tight Mr.. Wood said, land I was
called on to correct that fault as well
as some of the other faults in the in
terror Of the hull. / corrected these
faults, but / was not able to get
copy of the lines. However, | had
seen enough to cause me to make a
representation to Captain Mansfield
and he in turn not only caused the
cutting off of the upper deck, but
issued instructions about the opera
ton of the Eastland that would tend
to eliminate danger.
1.-The contract for the construction
of the vessel called for a speed of
twenty miles an hour. The trial failed
to develop this, and changes were
made, principally in the draft, that
brought the speed requirements up to
specifications Then it developed that
the gangways were not watertight.
The boat squatted when it got under
way, and / corrected this fault as well
as some alignments in the machinery.
Then the owners accepted it, but later
sold it."

the list and shifted the water ballast
neglected to do so. Consequently the
boast listed more.
Then the crowd noticed it and
rushed to the other side, with the re-
suit that the boat was caught as If
in backward roll and capsized. Per-
haps the propeller was started just
before the crowd rushed in order to
give the boat little kick That
would have caused a slight list be-
fore the recoil.
The equipment of the Eastland

that there should have been more life

It's beam was as wide as the depth of

All the laws in the world would
not have prevented that accident. AS
a matter of fact, one-half of the peo-
pie on the boat could have tipped it
over by sudden rush. Especially is
this true when a boat is still.

forward part of the boat the rescuers

BOAT KNOWN AS HoCDoo.
Two general theories for the listing
are advanced, in addition to the ques-
ton of overcrowding. The boat has
always been deemed ''hoodoo" by
lake captains. The shape of the hull
is such that marine experts have re-
garded the boat with suspicion. It
careened once before in Cleveland
harbor, and when in the South Haven
excursion trade it often listed as it
left the river at South Haven with the
crowds iocking to the rail on one
side. The two theories were:
Ballast was taken out to enable the
boat to navigate the river in the turn
ms basin above the LaSalle street
tunnel. This made it top-heavy, and
when the listing began there was no
counterweight to prevent capsize.
The lines were not cast off and the
tug was pulling the vessel toward the
river, which destroyed It's equilibrium.
This second theory is advanced by
William Flanagan, lineman on the
boat who says the tug was pulling at
the Eastland, although its lines had
not been cast off. This is denied by
Arthur Mcdonald, engineer of the tug.
who says that when the Eastland
Topped over the tow line had not
been attached.
INQUEST STARTS AT ONCE.
A conference was held at Reid,
Murdoch & Co.'s Office, across the
river from the scene of the tragedy,
and the inquest was begun.
