of the river by the superstructure Of
the overturned boat. While only 1902

Chicago, July 26.-Coroner Hoffman
announced Saturday night that he had
ordered the arrest Of every official of
the Indiana Transportation Company,

capsized Saturday morning with
party of eXcursionists, nearly 1,500 of
whom were reported drowned No in

night said that he had hopes that tire
number of dead would not exceed
morgue, according to official count,
was 500. The coroner said that any
bodies in addition to the 800 were in
the river or the hull of the Eastland
The big steamer capsized within a
few feet of land as it was about to
with $500 relatives and friends of
employees of the Western Electric
Company for trip across Lake Michi-
gan. The ship rolled on it's side in
twenty-five feet Of water within five
minutes after it began to list.
Coroner's Physician Springer de-
clared that 1900 persons were killed,
while other estimates ran as high as
2,100, but these did not agree with the
statement that not more than $500
passengers were on board the vessel.
During the day more than 800 bodies
were taken from the river and the
hull of the overturned vessel, whose
sides were cut open with gas flames
to admit divers. Several persons
were taken alive from the cabins in
the ship after it had lain on its side

Under the glare of searchlights

Washington, July 27.-Destruction
of the American ship Leelanaw by a
German submarine drew sharply to
the attention of officials of the U. S..
government the fact that Germany
was insisting on her own inter
probation of the Prussian-American
treaty of 1928 in disregard of two
American notes on the subject.
In three instances of American
ships destroyed or damaged-the Gulf
light, the Nebraskan and the William
P. Frye-Germany has agreed to pay
damages-and in the last case the
Berlin government took the position
that it had not violated the treaty OF
1928 but had exercised right given
by inference from the language of the
pact.
Messages from American Consul
Dennison at Dundee, Scotland, and
Consul General Skinner at London,
telling of the torpedoing and sinking
of the Leelanaw were received at the
State Department. The messages said
all the crew were saved and landed
at Kirkwall.
Consul Dennison's message said:
American steamer Leelanaw OF
New York, from Archangel to Belfast,
with flax, torpedoed and sunk by
German submarine, July 25. Whole
crew landed at Kirkwall, in their own
boats. Have instructed the consular
agent to send them to Dundee imme.
diately.'
Consul General SINNERS message
was almost identical.
A dispatch from Kirkwall to the
Central News agency says that after
the members of the crew left the Lee
lanaw about a dozen shots were fired
at the steamer. They failed to sink
her, however, and she ultimately was
sent to the bottom by torpedo. The
members of the crew were taken
aboard the submarine, the dispatch
adds, and were well treated. When in
sight of the Orkney Islands the men
were ordered to return to their boats,
and the submarine disappeared.
The episode has created widespread
discussion in England, coming, as it
did, almost coincidental with the de-
livery of the American note to Ger
many.
Only meagre accounts of the de-
struction of the Leelanaw have been
received but it is clear that the sub
marine gave the commander of the
steamer ample warning, even permit
ting the crew to collect part of their
effects before taking them aboard the
underwater craft, which then, through
the combined use Of shell fire and
torpedo, sent the vessel to the bottom.

EASTLAND DEAD

was the first to be loaded.
Rain began to fall as the wharf su-
perintendents lifted the gang planks
from the Eastland, declaring that the
government limit of $500 passengers
had been reached. White dresses
peeped from raincoats, as those aboard
waved goodbye to friends on shore
waiting to board the other vessels.
Then the 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 East.
land, ropes were ordered cast off and
the engines began to hum.
For nearly five minutes the ship
turned before it finally dived under
the swift current of the river, which,
owing to the drainage canal system,
flows from the lake. During the
mighty turning of the ship with its
cargo of humanity, lifeboats, chairs
and other loose appurtenances on the
decks slipped down the sloping floors,
crushing the passengers toward the
rising waters.
Then there was plunge with a
sigh of air escaping from the hold,
mingled with crying of children and
shrieks Of women, and the ship was
on the bottom of the river, casting
hundreds of its passengers into the
water.
Many sank, entangled with clothing
and bundles, and did not rise, but
scores came to the surface, giving the
river the appearance of a crowded
bathing beach. Many seized floating
chairs and other objects. Those on
shore threw out ropes and dragged in
those who could hold these lifelines
Employees of commission firms along
the river threw crates, chicken coops
and other floatable things into the cur,
mt. but most of these were swept
away by the stream.
Rushed to Aid Of Drowning.
Boats were put out, tugs rushed to
the scene with shrieking whistles, and
many men snatched off their coats and
sprang into the river to aid the drown
ing. With thousands of spectators
ready to aid and the wharf within
grasp, hundreds went to death despite
efforts at rescue.
One mother grasped her two chill
dren in her arms as she slipped from
the steamer into the water. One child
was torn from her, but she and the
other were saved.
At 9 o'clock Saturday night 800
bodies had been removed to the Sec
ond Regiment armory. They were laid
in rows of eighty-five across the whole
length Of the armory.
Revised figures show 176 bodies had
been identified. OF ia partially iden.
/, titled bodies, forty-seven were men
forty-eight women, seven boys and
twelve girls.
The steamer Eastland was built in
1903 and owned by the Eastland Nayi
