Cleveland.-Letters of reproof, writ
ten by Secretary Redfeld, have Just
been sent from Washington to the
Cleveland Automatic Machinery Co"
1853 E. 65th-st, and the American
Machinist, a New York trade maga-
zine, dealing with the publication OF
an advertisement of poisonous aclu-
loaded shells. 1t was announced py
the department of commerce tnat
President Wilson, after looking over
the letters prepared by Secretary Red
field, directed Acting Secretary Sweet
to forward them.
The letter to J. P. Brophy, general
manager of the Cleveland concern,
characterizes the advertisement IN
question as "atrocious" and says:
AT a time when every instinct of
patriotism calls for calm and SELF
restraint, when sobriety Of statement
is almost a supreme duty, you, as you
admit, to gain notice to an advertise
ment, draw a picture of human misery
as a means of earning profit through
the sale Of machines to produce it.
"This advertisement should not
have been published by you. What
ever truth there may or may not be
in the suggestion that statements OF
the kind are calculated to horrify the
public with the war, it is nevertheless
true that your columns in this in
stance were used to promote the sale
of machine whose suggested use IN
the advertisement named was that OF
manufacturing shells containing poi
sonous acids, which shells upon eX'
ploding would cause those who were
struck by the fragments to die in hor'
rible agony. 1t cannot be denied that
If there were any so cruel as to EN-
ploy such ammunition that employ
ment would be promoted by their find
ing in your columns the apparatus fol
the manufacture of these horrible
missiles"
The investigation by the department
of commerce developed that the
Cleveland concern had for sale ma
chine which was not primarily de
signed to turn out poison-acid shells
but which could be used for that pur
pose,

had lain on its side in the river for
hours. The steamers sides were cut
open with gas flames to admit divers.
Under the glare of searchlights scores
of men worked in the hull of the ves-
sci to remove the bodies. The steam
er lay on the bottom of the river, one
side protruding like a monument to
the hundreds it had drowned as it
turned over. Under mistry skies 1000
men, women and children wended
their way to the Clark street dock,
to fill five large lake steamers with
holiday mirth in trip to Michigan
City. The steamer Eastland, brought
to Chicago from Lake Erie, after an
unsatisfactory career, was the first to
be loaded.
Rain began to fall as the wharf SUI
perintendents lifted the gang planks
from the Eastland, declaring that the
government limit of $500 passengers
had been reached. White dresses
peeped from raincoats along the
shore rails as those aboard waved
good-by to friends on shore waiting to
board the steamer Theodore Roosevelt
and other vessels.
Then passengers swarmed to the
left side of the ship as the other
steamers drew up the river toward
the wharf. A tug was hitched to the
Eastland, ropes were ordered cast off
and the steamer engines began to
hum. The Eastland had not budged
however. Instead the heavily laden
, ship wavered sidewise, leaning first
toward the river bank. The lurch was
so startling that many passengers
