HUNDREDS DROWNED WHEN STEAMBOAT
WITH 2500 HAPPY PICNICKERS ON BOARD
CHICAGO RIVER, SHOWING
Many Passengers Trapped in Sinking
Vessel and Others Are Hurled Into
Water Estimates of Dead Reach
Fifteen Hundred Hospitals Filled.
Captain and Crew Under Arrest.
CHICAGO, July 2! -With 275 bodies re
covered, scores of others within sight and
pollco estimates of tho tdtat dead between
1000 and 1500, tho city of Chicago today
wao stunned by tho disaster met with by
the steamship Eastland, which, laden to
her rails wlh a gay throng of picnick
ers, capsized In the Chicago River 15 feet
frthl hbr dock al 7M0 o'clock today.
Tho most stunning tragedy In the
city's history baffled even the most ex
perienced police authorities so that esti
mates of the dead were changed every
hour, the total number growing as they
found more and mora of the Eastland's
passengers unaccounted for.
There was mystery In the cause of the
catastrophe. Charges were made that
the boat was overloaded, and that Gov
ernment Inspectors were lax in their
duties of seeing that the navigation laws
were not violated.
Countering these came an official state
ment from the United States custom offi
cers this afternoon to the effect that there
were 2500 persons aboard when the
steumshlp turned on her side and sank
to the bottom of the river with hundreds
of screaming men, -women and children in
her hold.
The sinking of the Eastland appeared
an even grcater'horror than tho Iroquois
Theatre fire In Chicago or tho burning of
the 'excursion steamship General Slocutn,
In New York. It was more ghastly than
these because It came so silently and so
Bwlftly,
Ona moment men, women and children,
all in their holiday best, were laughing,
singing and waving good-byes. They
were employes of the "Western Electric.

' BERLIN, July 24.
The latest American note relative to
Germany's method of conducting her sub
marine warfare was taken vunder consid
eration by foreign ofllclals today.
A copy nas telegraphed to Emperor
William, who has been at the eastern
headquarters for some time directing
operations In Poland.
It Is tha general opinion that a reply,
will not be forwarded to Washington
until the middle of August, notwithstand
ing tho fact that the contents of the
document wero not unexpected. In fact,
ofllclal circles receUed exacUy what they
had expected from President Wilson.
That tho Foreign Minister, Doctor von
Jagow, and his assistants will movo
slowly and cautiously In reply to tho note
was made plain today by attaches of the
Foreign Ofllco.
Tho future relations between tho Ger
man Empire and the United States will
depend upon tho rejoinder of this Govern
ment and the German officials fully realize
this.
The newspapers In discussing the Ameri
can note marked the serious tone of It
Indeed, In some circles the hote was re
garded as a deflntto threat.
There aro two strong political elements
In the German Government just now,
One stands for modification of policy,' if
necessary: the other for radical action.
The radicals are willing to break oft
diplomatic relations with thov United
States,-but the conservatHcs regard this
as a dangerous course. The exact atti
tude of Emperor William Is not known
to tho public, but It Is believed that he is
anxious to adopt a middle course and to,
maKe concessions wnicn would, avert an
other declaration of war against Ger
many. Official circles hero today refused to
comment In any way upon tho latest
American note In tho controversy over
German submarine operations.
Following Ambassador Gerard's de
parture from the Foreign Office yesterday
afternoon several clerks were put at work
translating the note Into German and
making copies for ofllclals and the press.
Their work was not completed until an
early hour today.
Ambassador Gerard said today that no
significance attached to the act that he
spent SO minutes with Foreign Secretary
von Jagow after delivering the note yes
terday afternoon.
"I always Ilka to stop and talk over
the situation." said the Ambassador.
The presentation of the note was an
