In announcing that he would hold a
thorough inquest, Coroner Riordan
said he had no wish 10 embarass the
government in fits investigation and
would bend his efforts to prevent
working at cross purposes. Both de-
partments, he said, will work to the
common end Of fixing blame. Cooper
alton, he expects, viii reach def
mite conclusion.
Riordan said he would issue sum-
mons for nurses, physicians and gun
crew who were aboard the vessel at
the time of the accident, He said the
Mongolia would remain in port sever
al days. The story published here to-
day by a man who was aboard the ST.
Louis on its first trip as an armed
liner, declared defective shells rem
dered the guns useless during the re-
turn trip through the submarine dan
ger zones.
OF forty-seven shells fired in target
practice he said fourteen exploded pre-
maturely.
