FEDERAL BOARD
STARTS PROBING
SHIP FIRE DATA
Finding Due to Go to
u. S. Within 2 Weeks

With hearings ended, the Fed
eral board of inquiry today started
studying the mass Of evidence in
the investigation Of the fire that
swept the bay steamer City Of
Baltimore a week ago Thursday
night, with a loss of three lives,
and probably will make its report
to the Department of Commerce
within the next two weeks.
While the last hearing was
under way in Baltimore yesterday,
the Senate unanimously passed a
bill introduced by Senator Royal
S. Copeland CD of New York,
requiring all steamboat lines to
deposit a passenger list on shore.
The bill was introduced by
Senator Copeland to clear up con-
fusion following maritime disas-
tiers. He also is preparing other
legislation to make travel on in
land waterways safer.
Broke whistle Cord
One mystery of the City of Bal
timore fire was cleared up yester-
day when Macon Williams, bar
tender on the vessel, testified he
tripped and broke the cord to the
whistle of the ship while unrolling
a fire hose. Previously, Capt.
Charles o. Brooks testified he had
attempted to sound a danger signal
and that the whistle would not
operate.
Actions of the officers and crew
Of the vessel we're praised by Capt.
Richard WySong, veteran skipper
of the pilot boat William D. San
ner, which picked up more than
80 members of the passengers and
crew.
Captain Wysong said the life
boats were launched in good order,
and that there was no panic.
Steamboat officials will make
another inspection of the hull of
the vessel, which is grounded on a
shoal about Is miles from Balti-
more, in an effort to determine II
the throttle of the engines was
locked.
Testimony Differs
Engineers testified the throttle
was locked before they left the
blazing engine room, but paSsen-
gers testified the engine was run
ing, and that the propeller nearly
wrecked several life boats and
small rescue boats. Evidence also
was given showing the steamer ran
into the liner Arkansas, which
came to the rescue.
Efforts will be made to deter
mine if the fire could have started
in the cork insulation of the YES
sells refrigerator.
So far no cause of the fire has
been determined, although the
captain and the freight deck
Waterman told the board of in
quiry they believed it was of in
cendiary origin.

Although he refrained from
making any definite recommends
ton for the methods of selecting
this committee, Mr.. Kennedy sug-
gested that "the more practical
way" to select its membership

Declaring that it is basic prin-
ciple of good government that all
executive functions should be con-
centrated in the Commissioners, he
asserted that none of these func-
lions should be dispersed through

NEW YORK. Aug. 7.-Victor
Grand, S0-year-old retired garment
manufacturer who had a savings
deposit Of $5,055, encountered
three strangers at West End Ave
nue. and Eighty-third Street.
They started conversation by
asking him how to get to a dis
trict Democratic club, and then
it developed that one of them was
about to turn an important deal
in New Jersey real estate, and, in
return for Mr.. Grand's kindness
in giving directions, offered to let
him in on it.
Mr.. Grand went to the Central
Savings Bank and drew $4,000 in
cash and handed over the money.
The three men divided it before
his eyes, handing the bills in three
directions, one north, one south
and one east.
BY the time Mr.. Grant had re-
covered enough from his aston
ishment to shout for the police
they were almost out of sight.

parks, however, he continued,
such as Rock Creek Park and the
Zoo, should remain under the
Jurisdiction of the National Park
Service.
In his plan for departmentaliz-
ing the municipal government,
he recommended that the most
important of these, the finance
department., be divided into the
following divisions: budget, &C.
counts and audit, purchases and
supplies, tax assessment, tax COL
lection and pensions.
Urges Budget Officer
The budgetary process, he
said, is "needlessly cumbersome
in some phases and lacking in
sufficient ganization in
others" The tax collection sys-
tenn, he continued, is "ineffec-
tive" in many respects.
A budget officer is recon-
mended, who would have the
responsibility of preparing the
budget.
The Federal Budget Bureau
would be deprived of its powers
over the local budget and would
act only in an advisory capacity.
The other departments would
be divided into divisions as fol-
lows:
safety-Police, fire, traffic and
auto inspection.
Welfare-Public assistance, I'M
employment compensation, adult
penal institutions, juvenile train
ing schools and parole. In addi-
ton. Mr.. Kennedy suggests a
citizens board of parole, which
would exercise quasi-judicial func-
tons of considering and passing
on applications for revocations of
parole.
Works and Engineering-High-
ways, sewers, water, parks and
trees, zoning, architecture, survey
ing and inspection. The Division
of Inspection would be subdivided
into buildings, plumbing, boiler.
smoke and elevator offices. The
present Zoning Commission would
be maintained.
Education - Schools, libraries
and recreation. The present
Boards of Education and Library
Trustees would be maintained.
Health - Hospitals, contagious
and infectious diseases, clinical
service, garbage and rubbish re-
moval and health inspection. The
latter division would have mills,
restaurants and barber shop sub
divisions.
Licenses: professions and vo-
cations, businesses, markets,
weights and measures, insurance,
boxing and wrestling and alco-
holic beverages. Present boards
would be maintained.
Personnel: Appointment, clas-
sification and compensation,
records and ratings, 'reassign-
ments, retirement and work
mems compensation. A merit
system should be designed by
this department, he said, which
would include a civil service
system separate from the Federal
civil service.

OBEY TRAFFIC SIGNS
(Rv John faster Jr.)

by join JdSLcT, ~JT.J
The trouble with many drivers is
that they don't observe traffic signs
or signals.
When the green light is changing
thy don't regard it as warning to
slow down, but as challenge to try
to beat the red light. When they
see sign reading stop they think it
is enough to hesitate, shift into sec
ond and race through the intersec-
tion.
The consequence Of this kind Of
driving is an accident sooner or
later.
Motorists must realize that traffic
signs and lights insure safety only
if observed. They must realize that
the word stop means to cease mo-
ton, to come to complete stand
still. And even that isn't enough.
In addition to stopping, drivers
should look both ways to make sure
that the street or highway is clear
before proceeding.
In traffic it is wise to believe in
signs. The motorist who won't stop
for a street or highway marker
reading stop endangers not only his
own life, but those Of others as we'll.
