BELATED ST. LOUIS ARRIVES
MANY PASSENGERS WILL
BRING DAMAGE SUITS.
Report That the Vessel Put to Sea In
Bad Condition Trip Took Thirteen
Days and Five Houre Officers
Complain of Leaky Boilers.
Now York, Jan. 17. The Belated St.
Louis was sighted off Fire Island at
0 o'clock this morning. The Hamburg
American liner Pennsylvania, arrived
In quarantine a few hours before. She
reports that sho fell in with tho St.
Louis steaming slowly. A boat from
the St. Louis boarded her and sent
mall. The officers said the boilers
wero leaking so badly they could onI
steam five knots an hour in good
weather.
The St.. Louis has abundant provis
ions and there is no danger of discom
fort. The Pennsylvania brought 13
seamen being the entire crew taken
off the disabled Norwegian steamer
Slggon, In mid-ocean.
The SIggen was loaded with steel,
bound for New Haven. During the
storm she lost her propeller and rud
der and was leaking. Before board
ing the Pennsylvania, the captain
opened her seacocks sinking the ves
sel to avoid menacing navigation. The
vessel had been drifting lielplessly for
five days.
Put "to Sea in Bad Condition.
New York, Jan. 17. Many passen
gers on the St. Louis say they will
bring damigo suits as the vessel put
to sea In bad condition, being only
a dny out when the speed was re
duced. The trip took thirteen days
and five hours. The first person to
board her was an agent sent by Oris
com, after-which not' even the deck
hands could bo Induced to "talk as
etrlct Instructions for silence had
been made.
Resolutions of Censure.
The St. Louis docked at 11:10.
Thousands had assombled on the pier.
The passengers wero very indignant
and passed resolutions at sea, declar
Ing that after a thorough lnvestlga
tlon they find that tho steamer enter
ed Southampton In an unseaworthy
condition; that she sailed the follow
ing day, taking no time for repairs,
Her condition was known to the com
pany, which Is severely condemned,
They presented a petition to the
captain asking either to be put aboard
eomo westbound vessel, or have the
steamer run to Halifax If feasible,
Tno captain declined to do cither.
The resolution concludes by saying
tbnt It Is a matter of regret that a
steamer popularly supposed to be a
first-class vessel, should not be sup
plied with tho Marconi system, the
want of which was soverely felt dur
ing the voyage.
Because it Would Cost a Little Money
the Operators Will Not Move- the
Breakers From Over the Shafts
Lives of Miners Endangered
Money Weighed Against Human
Lives.
Philadelphia, Jan. 17. A sensation
In today's anthracite hearing came
when President Mitcholl bitterly at
tacked tho coal operators, charging
them with bad faith in having locked
out 3000 miners in defiance of their
agreement with the commission. Ue
taid the present scarcity of coal was
a result of the failure on the part of
the coal carrying roads to supply
cars.
The testimony of the witnesses was
along tho usual lines. Judge Gray
brought out by a question that the
breakers are being built over the coal
shafts, thus endangering the lives of
the men. There Is a law against It,
but the collieries wero built before
said law was passed.
Gray said they should be compell
ed to move. A mine superintendent
ou. the stand said it would cost too
much to move them. Gray replied
that money was not to be weighted
against human lives.
