NEW YORK. July pa mysterious

Island wireless station, caused much
apprehension in shipping circles here
today and a number of vessels are
cropping along the coast in a dense
fog, seeking TO determine whether a
vessel sank last night The calls

Fire Island operator. 1T came a few
times and then trailed off and died in
a series of dots and dashes. / tried
to trace the call for several hours,
but received no response"
The operators belief that the call
for aid came from an auxiliary instru-
ment led to the conviction that the
vessel was plying close to shore,
probably within zoe miles. as that is
the maximum radius for auxiliary
sets. This fact allayed fears that the
vessel might have been the Orduna,
which sailed from New York several
days ago with a big cargo of war

States government has been an open
scandal for seamen for years. Now is
the time to inspect the inspectors. Chi
cago and every public official here should
demand that and nothing less.
"lIere are the men in the Federal In
spection Service who should be investi-
gated: George Uhler, Washington, D. c.,
supervising inspector general; the ten
supervising inspectors, who, with the in
spector general, constitute the board of
supervising inspectors.
81 charge this and no more: That the
responsible parties-the officials at
whose doors lies the blame for the East
land disaster-are the men who failed to
do their duty and the men who are now
focling to Chicago to investigate them
selves and their service.
The Eastland capsized because the
United States steamboat inspection
service permitted too many people to
go on board. That and nothing else
was the immediate cause of the loss
of life. That was the last act in a
long record Of improper inspection
service"
Both Olander and Furuseth declar-
ed that the inspection service takes
no account of stability, that boats are
not inspected as to their equili-
brium.
In determining the maximum num-
Der of passengers to be carried, they
said, they compute merely the num-
ber Of square feet of surface on each
deck and then allow one square yard
to a person-making the inspection
matter of multiplication and di-
vision as to surface feet and not as
TO whether a boat is properly bal
I lasted or will capsize If top-heavy.
Six separate Investigations began
today. They we're headed respective
ly by States Attorney Maclay Hoyne,
Coroner Hoffman, Federal District
Attorney Charles Clyne, officials of
the Mayors office, Federal steamboat
inspectors and Chief of Police Healey.
| The chief questions these officials
; hoped to have answered we're;
Did the Eastland have on board
more passengers than we're permit
ted by the Federal license?
/ Why was the Eastland granted a
capacity so great that, even when it
was not exceeded, a rush of only a
part of the passengers to one side
caused il TO topple?
Was the Eastland's water ballast
out of adjustment? If so who was
the Federal inspector who did not
1 know of It, or who permitted the boat
to take on a capacity load in the face
of such knowledge?
Was the capacity of the Eastland
overrated by Federal inspectors?
;, Was IL done deliberately? Did any
one gain thereby?
| One of the first matters District
Attorney Hoyne went into today was

today that the boats capacity Of p

Working on these figures as basis,
recovery of SIG bodies would leave a
total of 1854 to be accounted for.
The number saved is given by some as
1000, perhaps more. This would
leave 266 missing, or unaccounted for,
making a total Of dead and missing OF
1850.
Andrew Furuseth, president OF the
International Seamen's Union of
America, said today:
mo passenger boat is safe that will
rot stand up without water ballast
and with its maximum load of passen-
gers all on one side. Water ballast is
not used as a safety device at all, or
should not be, if the lake boats are
properly inspected.
Water ballast is used only and
merely for trimming purposes-for
helping to keep an even keel, so as
10 reduce friction. make speed and
reduce cost of fuel.
"All seamen knew that the East
land was a cranky ship. That was
her reputation. That meant that she
was not carrying the proper solid bal
