ROWS,' General Agent, LOCAL BOARD MAKES REPORT Inspectors Make Lengthy State ment of Findings on Slocum Disaster of Last June. IGNORANCE INCOMPETENCE liONN of Nearly On TIioiihiukI Liven Attributed to Lack of l)lrlllin and Common New York, H-t. 23. A lengthy re rort has Just wn made public of an InvcHtlgiitldn by the local board of utoainlioat Inspfftors Into the General Him um steumer disaster wblch oc- currel In the east river last June and tost nearly 1000 lives. The rejwrt Is sIkm(1 by Jump A. Dumont and Thomas If. Iturrliett and Is addressed to Hupervlslng Insector Robert 8. Koille. It concludes by announcing upon authority vested In the board by the feileral statutes the revocation of the officers' licenses of those aboard the Slocum as follows: William II. fr'halck, master and pilot; Kdwnrd Van Wart, pilot, and Uenjii mln F. Conklln. chief engineer. Inlclty sunuiHirlsed the principal points of the board's report are: "That the fire was discovered at the upper end of the sunken Meadows and that North Krother Island was the neur- est available point to beach the steam Khip. "That life preserving appliances In the vessel were Inadequate but had the KIiMum been supplied with a grealei number not another life would have been sieved because of th Ignorance and Incompetence of the crew. "That there was an absolute lack of discipline on the part of the crew be cause of the negligence of the master snd of the pilot.' "That fire drills had been neglected, and that had the crew been trained as the law requires such a disaster would have been almost Inconceivable. "That one of the crew In his Ignor ance, added to the Incipient flames by throwing thereon an empty bag which had contained charcoal. "That the chief engineer was gross ly negligent when notified of the fire In that he did not see that the hose had been connected and the water turned on." The Investigation began July S and was delayed considerably by the In juries of Captain Van Schalck, which confined him to the hospital. Under the law the board only took up the eon duct of the vessel's licensed officers. The other phases of the disaster were Investigated by a special commission appointed on the request of President Roosevelt and consisting of General Wilson of the army, and Commander Wlnslow of the navy. This commission has not yet made public Its report. The Inspectors "say they heard 'M wit nesses. Twelve others were subpoenaed but failed to appear, among them Cor oner Berry. The report reviews evi dence given by river captains and ex pert East river pilots and continues: "A few minutes after the master was made aware through the speaking tube In the pilot house thnt the Slocum was on fire he gave orders to the pilot to bench the vessel on North Brother isl and. That order was obeyed and the steamer was beached probably with in three minutes. "In the face of the evidence we can not In Justice arrive at any conclu slon on this point ottier than that the unfavorable criticism passed upon Captain Van Schalck for not having beached hla steamer at some other point than ' where he did Was wholly unmerited." The second engineer, Brandow,, is highly praised for remaining at hla post and manipulating the machirjerg. jpap talna and crewa of river craft Who aid ANOTHER WONDER, OF, SCIENCE; BUIoar as Proved that DaaArw la ;' Caaaod T Gene.

Eagle Drug Store, 351-353 Bond St., Owl Drug Store. 54 Com. St.. T. F. Laurin. Prop. "Special igent" ed In rescuing the drowning victims also are commended for their conduct. The Inspectors cite evidence they re ceived to the effect that no dead were found wearing life preservers and ex press the belief that not one life was lost because of Inefficiency of the pre servers. The great mortality, accord ing to their view was due to the 1m IoMlhllity of equipping 1500 persons, mostly children, In a few minutes and not to the age of the preservers, many of which were stamped In 1891. "The evidence before us Indicates an absolute lack of discipline on the part of the crew because of the neglect of the muster and of the pilot to observe the provisions which require those of ficers at least each week to call all hands to quarters and exercise them In the (JlK. ipttne and use of the fire pumps and all other apparatus for the safety of life on board on such vessel and to s-e that all the equipments re quired by the law are In complete working order for Immediate use. "Had this rule been observed and the crew of the Slocum been trained as to their duties In case of Are or other accident to the steamer It Is Im possible to conceive that such a dis aster could have occurred to the steamer as did occur, as it appears from the evidence before us that at least three of the crew saw the fire when a bucket or two of water, which was close at hand, was all that was needed to put It out. Instead of doing this, however, one of them added fuel to the (lames In the shape of an empty bag which had contained charcoal and was consequently saturated with dust from the same, an Ingredient about as Inflammable as gunpowder. "Then all of them ran to the steam fire pump connection and made a bung ling attempt to connect the hose there with and tangled It Into kinks, render ing It entirely useless." The chief engineer's license Is re voked because he failed to see that the hose was properly stretched before turning on the power which caused It to burst. SHEDS SKIN TWICE A YEAR. Remarkable Case of Man Whose Hands and Feet Peel Off. Hood River, Sept. 23. In the office ot John Leland Henderson is the akin frem hand of S. C Busklrk of Indianapolis, Ind., a man who sheds his skin twice each year. The phenomenon Is similar to that of a snake, sloughing off Us skin, but while this happens once a year to the snake, Mr. Bus klrk sheds his skin twice a year. a O. Busklrk la a brofher to Mrs. Aud Winans of this city. He now re sides at 50 South Lost street, Indian apolis, Ind. He served 14 years In the regular army. Mr. Busklrk la about 60 year. old. He never married. Mr. Busklrk Is said to take the skin from his hands like one removing a pair of gloves. It Is the epidermis oi outer Bkin that he aheda. Eminent physicians say this Is the only man known to medical science who sheds his skin in this manner twice a year. The case Is so remarkable that the medical societies have persuaded him to appear before their annual meeting that they may study the wonderful transformation that takes place with his outer skin. He has been told that if he would only place hlniBelf on exhibition he would be enabled to live In a brown stone front and write his check in a few years for a million, but Mr. Bus- kirk is averse to notoriety, and no love of money can persuade uim to do this. The shedding takes piace twice a year, In the spring and the fall. When the skin has been shed, the new coating Is as tender oa that a new born babe s, and for Beveral weeks he la compelled to remain ldoore;an to ga about on crutches until the skin, becomes toughened on hla feet, Mr. Busklrk waa In Hood River three or four yeara ago, and spent about a year bora.

BIG CHORUS FOR THE FAIR. Telegram: William 5 H. , Boyer, Portland Man Makes Excellent Sugges tion for Attraction. well-known local choral conductor, has written to President H. W. Goode of the Lewis and Clark exposition, outlin ing plans for ,a grand musical festival during the 1905 fair. Mr. Boxer's plan Is to have this festival cover a period of three or five days, to be participated in by a grand chorus of 400 or 500 voices from Oregon towns, thus making it a state affair. Mr. Boyer haa confi dence that Oregon's musical talent Is In all respects adequate for such .an enterprise, and thinks the cost would not be so considerable. As an estimate of the cost Mr. Boyer places the figures on a basis ranging from $4500 to 15000, exclusive of ad vertising. It was decided at one of the recent meetings of the Willamette Valley Choral Association that the next meetings of the association would be held In Portland during the fair, and if the proposition offered Is accepted, vis- Itors to the fair will be given an op portunity of hearing some of the mas terpieces of the world's music pre sented by a magnificent chorus of trained voices, and the beauty' of it all will be that Oregon will furnish this music. It Is believed that this enterprise could be employed by the fair as a good gate-receipt Investment. Jsps Win 8kirmish. Toklo. Sept. 2J, 1 p. m.
