{ ERROR BLAMED
FOR SINKING
Of VESTR|S

NEW YORK, Nov. "a. Q.N.Sl-
The two separate inquiries into
the sinking of the Lamport and
Holt liner vestris off the Virginia
coast on November IL, will be re-
sumed here Monday, with but little
headway made during the first
weeks investigation toward deter
mining the cause of the disaster
that cost 10 lives.
The investigators admit that the
vessel may have foundered from
any one of five causes.
Four of the five theories were
advanced by Capt. E. P. Jessop,
American nautical adviser in the
inquiry being conducted by United
States ATTORNEY Charles H. futile.
He expressed the opinion that the
liner foundered either because OF
water pouring into the ship through
a faulty ash ejector and through
the starboard coal ports that had
not been kept tight; because or the
springing of a seam in the vessers
hull as the result of some undIs-
covered structural defect; because
the. piping under the coal bunkers
carried away, or because rivets in
the hull of the Vestris broke in the
storm which preceded the disaster.
Fifth Theory Suggested
The fifth theory was. suggested
by Assistant Secretary of Commerce
Walter F. Brown, one of the three
officials conducting the United States
Steamboat inspection Services in
La hoIiaUnd ia YNt
William Carey had erred in order
ing the starboard ballast tanks
pumped out when the ship listed
toward that side.
He pointed out that this raised
the center of gravity of the ship
and caused it to list still further to
starboard, because the coal bunkers
above still were partly filled with
water.
The first week of the investiga-
tions also has been marked by con-
flicting testimony regarding the con-
dition of the Eestris when she left
New York and the behavior OF the
officers and crew during the emer-
gency.
Tells of Mutiny
Yesterday Chief Engineer James
A. Adams testified that the black

their posts in the stokehold at the
moment when they were needed
