EAsTLAND's CONSTRUCTION
 HAD BEEN CONDEMNED
By John Devereaux York, Naval Ar
 chitect-Had No Keel at All.

Chicago, July 25.-Copy of a letter from a naval architect condemning the construction of the Eastland will be used by States Attorney Hoyne in his investigation of the disaster, it was learned today. The letter was written by John Devereaux York of Chicago to the United States harbor inspectors here Aug. 3, 1913.
 T stated in that letter." said MT. York, that the Eastland was not a safe boat. Every naval architect who knew the construction will tell you she was extremely dangerous. She had a 38 foot beam, for which all laws of steamboat construction require at least 40 inch keel The Eastland had no keel at all
 There was no coal passer in the hold who was not aware of the dans ger. The fact that none of them WIS found in the glory hold after she turned over showed that. There was narrow scaling ladder leading up from that hold, and 20 men worked there. It was take 20 men at least 20 minutes to ge tout, climbing this mar row ladder. But they were all out when the ship listed"

From the nature of the operations around Warsaw 1t would appear that
 the Russians have no immediate in
 tention of withdrawing rom the Polish
 capital if at all. The pressure of the
 is making itself felt and the Germans
 have crossed the Narew river on a
 front of nearly thirty miles extending
 from Ostrolenka to Pultusk.
 The fighting east of the Vistula riv-
 CT in Southeastern Poland has lost
 for the moment much of it's vicious
 character. Both the Berlin and
 Vienna official statements say com
 paratice calm prevails in the Lubin-
 Chelm region, near Ivangorod and in
 the region of the Bug river where it
 flows across the border of Russian
 Poland into Galicia. At these points the Russian opposition to an Austro-
 German advance has been well sus-
 tained and the Russians have made
 several attempts to break the Austro-
 German lines.
 In addition to having moved heavy
 forces over the Narew, the Teutonic
 allies have advanced toward the Bug,
 with an important railway as their objective. Some progress is also recorded to the south, with the cap ture of two villages, which were taken by storm. lying about ten miles south of Warsaw.
 Severe fighting has taken place on the western line in the Vosges, French troops have stormed and carried strong German defensive works be-
 tween La Fontelle Heights and the Village of Launois, more than 700 unwounded Germans being taken pris- oners. Artillery engagements have prevailed on most of the other sectors where there was any fighting along the western line. Berlin admits that the ried French have established them selves in portions of the German The latest official communication is-
 sued at Rome lays no claim to the
 capture of Gorizia, or the evacuation of that town by the Austrian gen. eral staff both of which reports have been current, merely asserting that all Austrian attacks along the 1sonzo front have been put down.
 Small gains have been made by the Italians fin various other stceors, but
 the attempts by the Italian corSfpand- er-in- chief to force the evacuation of Gorilla and with it important strategic positions guarding Triest, constitute Italy's supreme effort in the campaign
 against Austria. The Germans have resumed their submarine campaign British and one French steamer and four RStish trawlers have been sent | to the bottom by underwater boats. Four men of the British steamer
 Firth were killed. Ten men of the crew of a Grimsby trawler, which was destroyed by a mine, lost their lives. The Russian government in order to show that all the political parties are harmonious as regards the war, will give the socialist and labor members of the Duma representation on the military and naval committees.

crushed into the slimy mud of the bottom, or imprisoned between decks. The. passengers were employees or friends of employees Of the Western Electric company. bound for picnic at Michigan City, Ind. Some sudden signs of terror had driven smiles from kgay faces several minutes before the waters swallowed the throng. but gen. orally the excursionists were laughing and shouting farewens when death swept upo nthem.
 All Slid Into the Water.
 The listing of the boat to port was noticed, some said, fifteen minutes be- fore she turned over-Captain Peder- sen said five minutes. Some women clutched their children. but decided the slope of the deck must be neces- sary in warping from the dock When the full realization came. the slow list had become an overturn. Babies, girls, boys, women and men, deck gear and furniture slin into the water in a con- glomerate mass.
 In thirty minutes the survivors had been put safely ashore and the fishers for the dead started the work that was to continue in long monotony throughout the day and night.

reduced to about one mile an hour by closing gates in the drainage canal dam at Lockport, Ills. This not only kept the great steamers hull steady, but prevented drifting away of bodies that were still in her hold or pinned down in the mud underneath her port side.
 Police Lines Tightly Drawn.
 The police lines were tightly drawn from Lake street to Rush street. This kept the bridge at Clark street free of curious crowds and allowed those whose duties called them there un- hampered freedom.
 The result was that the forenoon's work moved rapidly and smoothly. Seven divers had brought up before O o'clock this morning 42 bodies. Then came an interval of five hours before the discovery of two more corpses- Eight other bodies were found in the river several blocks from the scene of the disaster. Four police patrol boats cruised around the East land for hours, using trawl lines with heavy hooks, trying to bring out bodies that possibly had drifted away from the steamer. This search, how ever, was fruitless.
 Seven Divers at Work.
 Four divers came from Milwaukee to assist Chicago workers, worn out by their efforts of yesterday. Seven divers in all were at work today. One of the divers said he thought several score bodies were still pinned under the boat, which, he said, was resting in about four feet of stiff mud. These bodies cannot be reckoned with until after the coroner's inquest, when ef- forts will be made to right the vessel.

Guards Arrested
 for InCiting Riot
AT TIpEWATER OIL CO.'S PLANT,
 eAYoNNE
s2 ARE SENT TO JAIL
Arrests Took Place After Guards Had Fired Several Shots at Homes Near the Plant = Superintendent Ed monds-AIso Arrested.

New York, July 25.-Samuel H. Ed wards, general superintendent, and g guards of the Tidewater oil company's plant in Bayonne. N. J.. were arrested today charged with melting to riot. by Sheriff Kinkead and his deputies. The arrests occurred after guards had fired several shots at homes near the plant.
 32 Guards Sent to Jail.
 All were immediately arraigned. Su- perintendent Edwards was released in $500 bail and August 1 was set as the date for his hearing. The guards, nearly all of whom came from other cities. were sent to jail in default of $500 bail each. P. Leon Bergoff, a la bor adjuster, arrested with the guards. was released in $1,000 bail. The guards were removed in automobiles to the Hudson county jail in Jersey City.
 The first arrests occurred following reports of shooting from inside the Tidewater plant. which adjoins that of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. where the strike of oil work CTS, marked by serious rioting last week is in progress. The Tidewater plant was shut down following the first outbreak of trouble.
 People living near the Tidewater works reported that early in the day bullets had broken windows in their homes. Father Sidmund Swider. pas Ftor of Catholic church, reported that a bullet struck the outside of his rec tory. The church is about half a mile from the strike zone.
 Guard Aimed Rifle at Sheriff. Sheriff Kinkead said he was pass ing the Tidewateri works with two deputies when three guards armed with rifles appeared on the wall sur rounding the plant. He called to them that they were under arrest, but one guard, he said, leveled a rife at the sheriffs head When this guard saw the sheriff's two deputies preparing to shoot, he dropped his weapon and all three surrendered. Superintendent Edwards was arrested in a group of eight armed guards who appeared in the street outside of the plant The remainder of the guards were arrest ed later inside the Underwater plant. The sheriff took every precaution to prevent a demonstration against the guards at police headquarters. His deputies and boulevard police drove a Scrowd away and while some persons booted and threw stones, there was no shooting.
 Sheriff Closed Saloons.
 The sheriff also closed six saloons today and arrested the owners, charg- ing them with violating his orders in selling liquor to strikers.
 Hundreds attended the funerals to day of Stanley Murhefko and Nicolay Iwaszkiu, who were killed in last weeks rioting.

TO FIND CAUSE OF
 EAsTLAND's DISASTER.
Three Investigations Were In Full

 Marclay Hoyne, states attorney, had full force of men locating witnesses to go before the county grand jury which will be empanelled tomor- row.
 Entire Police Force Active.
 The entire police department was active. That they had obtained evil dence of criminal neglect in connection with the wreck was hinted by c. c. Healey, chief of police He said val uable information was found in the in spection papers seized yesterday in Captain Harry Pedersen's cabin.
 Two documents were taken and the captain. and 2S officers and members of the crew arrested. These papers, according to the meagre information that could be obtained about them, showed that following inspection, the boat was to be permitted to carry B. 900 passengers and a crew of 70.
 Has there been criminal negli- gence?" the chief was asked.
 There is no doubt of that" Chief Healey answered.
 Coroner Hoffman issued the follow ing statement today:
 T intend to use every effort with in my power to punish every person, directly or indirectly responsible for the disaster. None shall escape.
 T am ready to cooperate with any official, city, state or national, in fix ing the responsibility for this disas- ter"
 Numerous Theories.
 Numerous theories were advanced to account for the accident but evil dence thus far obtained made no single
 One theory given credence by many was that the water ballast had been pumped out to tighten the boat and the weight of the large number o1 passengers. crowded to one side, naturally turned her that way.
 Another theory was that the boat was simply over-crowded, while a third wa sthat the bottor of the boat had become fmbedded in the mud and and she did notrelease herself, the boat careened and the weight of the passengers carried her over. Faulty construction alleged by some as the cause was denied by both owners and inspectors. MT. Hoover on his arriv- al said: "All I am here for is to inn press upon the local inspectors the grave importance of thorough in- vestigation- There is no one more fn- teregted in getting at the bottom of this situation than is the department at Washington
