FAULTY CONSTRUCTION NOT CAUSE OF EASTLAND DISASTER Is Claim Made by Counsel for Six Men
 Indicted.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. 21.-When the government in federal court here this afternoon rested it's case against the six men indicted in connection with the steamer Eastland disaster in Chi cago last July, the defense immediate ly sought to establish its contention that the accident was caused by the vessel settling on river bed or striking submerged piles, and was not due to faulty construction.
 The preliminary attempt was unsuc- cessful, however, the court ruling out as incompetent the testimony of James w. Pearl, Chicago civil engineer, and the defense finally withdrew the wit ness after trying to set forth that Pearl took soundings of the river and made ble print of the depths in the vicinity of the Eastland's dock.
