200 bodies still were held in the mud
OF the river by the superstructure of
the overturned boat. While only 1909
passengers of the Eastland have regis

Washington, July 27.-Destruction
Of the American ship Leelanaw by q
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 skinner's 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.

Chicago, July 26-Coroner Hoffman
announced Saturday night that he had
ordered the arrest OF every official of
the Indiana Transportation Company,
leasing the steamer Eastland which
capsized Saturday morning with a
party of excursionists, nearly 1900 of
whom were reported drowned. No in
dividuals were mentioned in the coro-

remodeled later because topheavy, it
is said, was arrested and locked up at
the police station.
The cororer at II o'clock Saturday
night said that he had hopes that the
number of dead would not exceed
1000. The number of bodies in the
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.

statement that not more than 2.50(

During the day more than 800 bodies
were taken from the river and the

sides were cut open with gas flames

EASTLAN DEAD
PLACED AT 1000

Erie, after an unsatisfactory career,
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 it's
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 a 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
