Preliminary steps for comprehen-
sive investigation Of the sctivities OF
the steamboat inspection during the last
fifteen years will be set on foot, follow
ing the return to Washington tonight OF
Secretary of Commerce Redfeld, Solici-
tor Thurman. and Supervising Inspector
Chler, who have been conducting the
Governments Eastland inquiry at Chi
caso.
Plans for such an investigation had
been under considera ton before the
Eastland disaster, but the charges made
by labor organizations and others
against the steamboat inspection service
after the recent tragedy in the Chicago
act with greater haste in clearing the
service Of ''deadwood."
Many Of the steamboat inspectors have
been holding. their jobs for years. It is
ans in years as we'll as in service. A
Wholesale shake-up is expected to fol-
low the investigation.
Supervising. Inspector Uhler is one Of
der preceding Administrat tons who has
not been displaced Jnce the Wilson
Administration came in. General Uhler.
who formerly was chief Of a marine Ia.
Secretary Redfieid will make a per-
soma. report to President Wilson on
the Eastland investigation. 1t is said
the Secretary in his report will elm
mate overcrowding as a cause for the
Eastland disaster.
The Eastland was permitted to carry
$500 passengers and figures by naSiga-
tion Inspectors who counted those who
boarded the boat show that there were
$500 passengers on board.
But the Department OF Commerce
made public today a report Of former
Investigation which showed that the
Eastland previously had a certificate
permitting her to carry 5000 excursion
passengers. This was in the summer Of
1908.
In that year charges were made that
the Eastland had been overcrowded on
trips from Chicago to South Haven,
Mich. George e. Foulkes. a special
agent Of the Treasury Department in
vestigated and reported that the great
est number carried during the period Of
his investigation was $3.50.
Mr.. Foulkes In his report said that he
could not say the number Of passengers
was to great for safety. but he believed
that prudence and reasonable degree
Of comfort require that the number per-
mitoted to be carried be reduced"
