posed of a vessel stopped for articles of
contraband, II the master Of the vessel
stopped will deliver out the goods sup
posed to be OF contraband nature. he
shall be permitted to do it and the vessel
shall not in that case be carried into any
port nor further detained. but shall be
allowed to proceed on her voyage"
The Leelanaw was owned by the Lee
lanaw Steamship Co. Of New York. She
was formerly called the Earnwell. She
was 80 feet long and Of 1924 gross tons.
She left Galveston May and New York
May II with a cargo Of cotton for Arch
angel. Early in June she was detained
by the British authorities at Kirkwall on
the ground that her cargo, although des-
tined for Russia, was consigned by way
Of Gothenburg. Sweden. which country
forbids the export of cotton.
Having discharged her cargo at Arch
angel it is evident that the Leelanaw was
returning from Archangel when she was
sunk.
The Leelanaw was commanded by Capt
D. B. Delk. Her crew consisted of seven
officers and 80 men and her owners. the
Hardy Steamship Co. of New York
planned to return the Leelanaw in ballas,
to this country. The Leelanaws agents
had no information regarding the sink
ing of the steamship other than that con-
tanned in the press dispatches.
An Official statement of the German
government issued April Is, 1915. set forth
that fax is contraband Of war.

for the excursion by fear that Off

who sold them, would discriminate
against those who failed to go on the
excursion. The picnic to Michigan
City had been an annual affair. And
these men said that employees who
had refused to buy tickets in previous
years had been given less remunera-
tive work or discharged. although
probably without the sanction Of ex-
ecutives of the company. To the con-
fusion Of determining the total num-
Der of lives lost there was added
much wrangling among officials of
different jurisdiction over tentative
plans to right the Eastland which
still lies on it's port side where it
sank.
May Be 500 Under Water
Despite an all-day search of the
hulk by divers and a constant drag
cling Of the river bed between the
wreck and net stretched across the
river a block down the current. only
a dozen bodies were found. Estimates
Of the number still held under water
varied from $50 to 500.
Estimates by marine engineers show
ed that it would take from 10 to 80 days
to nut the Eastland on its keel. 1t was
said that until the ship was removed ii
could not be determined how many, ii
any, bodies had been caught under the
use dynamite in raising bodies embed
ded in mud were abandoned for the
time being for fear the explosions
might destroy evidence the ship could
give of possible mismanagement Of
the water ballast system. given by
several marine engineers as a possible
cause of the calamity.
Coroner Hoffman placed W. j.
Wood, a naval architect. who had
dubbed the Eastland the crank OF the
lakes" in charge Of all work at the
wreck, SO that any evidence in regard
to faulty construction Of the ship OF
improper handling might be preserved
The coroner, the states attorney and
CITY officers reiterated their charges
that all possible causes for the disaster
could oe charged to negligence by fed
eral inspectors. or failure Of federal Of
ficers to enforce marine laws. The last
inspection Of the Eastland was made
by Robert Reid, government inspector
at st. Joseph, Mich. who found that

position as chief engineer on the boat

Although most of the metallic and
