Inspection System Faulty.
There are only two ways you pos.
sibly can establish and maintain safety
at sea-" said Andrew F'uruseth, presi-
dent OF the International Seamen's
Union Of America. zone Is to make
tho ship owners responsible in damage.
to the travelling public for injuries OF
death to passengers. and thus give t.
the owners q specific financial inter.
est In safety 49,
Coupled with such responsibility t.
the passengers. the insurance laws
might be SO amended that either over.
insurance or complete insurance woult
he prevented. thus leaving part of the
risk with the owners instead Of dis.
lr4.utmg it over the public.
"The second method would be to en-.
act by law or regulations such rules
for safety as shall be needed. Our
inspection laws provide for super
visor inspector general and one super
vising inspector for each district. The
supervising inspectors. by authority OF
congress- are to make such rules as
shall insure safe travel.
Ship Owners Have Pull.
THE supervising inspectors are ap.
pointed either directly or indirectly
upon the recommendations OF ship
owners. They are covered under civil
service. but II either local inspectors OF
Supervising inspectors develop too great
an activity or too lively conscience
|if. In other words, they become OBJ
noxious to the ship owner In that dis
trict-in some way they get out OF the
service. They know these same things
and Of course It influences. either con-
sciously or unconsciously, not only all
the rules they make. but the way
these rules are carried out.
coroner'e Inquiry Begun.
Crew and passengers of the East
land began today their stories of Sat
|urday's disaster In testimony before
the coroners jury. Members OF the
crew arrived at the court room under
police guard, for tho no charges have
been preferred against them. they have
been detained as witnesses ever since
the catastrophe. Beside Coroner Hoff-
man and his assistants, representatives
Eof the other officials who expect to In
vestigate were there.
1T Is the intention to make lair'
thorough and impartial investigation.
and when done we expect to place the
blame Tor this terrible thing wneFe u.
belongs without fear or 1avor sa'o
the coroner.

session was then called It Included
