Secretary Redfeld.
Il am positive" replied the witness.
MIR. McCreary denied that there was
any panic among the passengers or
that they rushed to the dock side rail
when the boat listed.
Inspector General Uhler testified that
no case of ovcrcrowding or violation
of the passenger limit had been proved
in the last twenty years.
Speaking Of the navigation depart
ment. Gen. Uhler said:

continues:
Nothing in the testimony offered be-
fore this jury indicated that the pas
sengers we're guilty of any unusual act
that contributed to the disaster, and
we are of the opinion that no act of
the passengers was responsible for the
disaster.
"In the absence of evidence of undue
acts on the part of the passengers or
plosions, fire or collisions the fact that
this vessel overturned Is proof either
that it was improperly constructed for
the service employed or that it was
tanned, or that all of these causes
operated to bring about the serious
result
1T is our judgment that the steam
ship Eastland was both improperly
constructed for the service employed
ana Improperly Iodueu, operated anu

are responsible.
We recommend to the states at
torney and the grand jury that an in
vestigation be made of the corporation
or individuals responsible for the man
agement of this boat with a view to
discovering II other members of the
corporation or other individuals were
responsible for acts contributing to

FILIBUSTER ON

SENATOR BURTON AFTER TWO
DAYS YIELDS FLOOR TO SEN
ATOR WEEKS TO CONTINUE.
Republicans Are Blocking the Consid-
Grafton of the Bill to Purchase
Ships by Appropriation.

Washington, Jan 20.-After three
days Of continuous assault on the
government ship purchase bill. Sena-
tor Burton of Ohio late today yielded
the floor in the senate to Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts, who con
tinued the fight
In the meantime democratic lead
ers, who regard the republican oppo-
sition as an open tilibuster, deter
mined to keep the measure before
the senate despite appropriation bills.
Tonight the democrats held anoth-
er caucus to perfect the bill
1t is probable no democrat will
speak on the measure in the senate
for many days, the leaders hoping
thus to wear down the opposition
But republican senators are arming
for a protracted fight Senator
Weeks, Lodge and Jones today re
manned ready to take up the debate
when Senator Burton tired Others
who are preparing to talk are Sena-
tors Root. Sutherland, Smoot, Bran
degee, GaIlinter and Nelson.
Republicans announced that when
speeches on the pending bill had
been exhausted a substitute would be
offered upon which to base further
arguments The democrats then
planned to recess instead of adjourn
ing from day to day. in order to keep
the debate in one legislative day and
handicap the minority orators under
the rule that no senator can speak
more than twice on one subject in
the same legislative day.
Republican senators expect TO
meet this by introducing from time
TO time amendments or substitutes
to inject new subjects for discussion.
Some republicans predicted that
the bill would be abandoned for this
session if no progress was apparent
after two weeks of debate. Admins
tration senator's, however denied
that there would be any weakening
and said if necessary appropriation
bills could be taken up in an extra
session, the responsibility for which
would be on the heads Of the repub
licans
