MAKE EFFORT TO FIX CAUSE OF DISASTER [Continued From First Page.] men jotted down the names of the men, women, girls and boys who last Friday left their work never to re turn. 810 Bodies Recovered At noon Coroner Hoffman reported that 810# bodies had been recovered. The Western Electric Company's list of missing contains 178 names and this Is being added to hourly, as the heads of the various departments re t» port. Coroner Hoffman believes the total of dead will reach 1100 if the esti mates of divers on the number of bodies still in the boat proves correct. The investigations undertaken by the Federal, State, county and city offi cials are being steadily pushed in an effort to fix responsibility for the East land disaster. The first funeral services for the Eastland victims took place to-day when more than 300 corteges passed through the streets of the city. Ar rangements have been made to hold services for some of the various vic tims every day of this week. States Attorney Hoyne began the preparation of evidence for the Cook county grand jury on the theory that the United States inspection bureau erred when it granted a license to the boat to engage in the trans-lake busi ness. Mr. Hoyne declared that he was ignoring the question of the filling of the water ballast compartments and declared that the evidence he had In hand already indicated that the East land was an unsafe vessel regardless of the diligence of the crew in com plying with regulations. Will Examine All Witnesses Dickerson N. Hoover, acting super vising inspector of the United States Steamboat Inspection Service, and Captain Charles H. Westcott, of De troit, joined Inspectors Mancfield and Nicholas in the examination of the crew of the Eastland to determine whether there had been negligence in operation and especially whether the water ballast compartments were properly filled at the time the East land laid over on Its sides. They ex pect to have this question decided to day when every witness held by the city will be examined. The theory that there was a sudden shift of weight i 3 not credited by them. Coroner Hoffman announced that he will not hold an inquest until the work of searching for the dead is complet ed. Bodies Still in Water "I believe that there afe a number of bodies still in the water held down by wreckage or the weight of the boat and that it will be impossible to re cover these unitil the Eastland is raised." the coroner declared. An effort will be made to complete the identification of bodies at the Sec ond Regiment Armory to-day. Only 14 of the 72S cared for there were un identified this morning. Early esti mates of the loss are being constant ly lowered but there is only specula tion to indicate the number still in the vessel or in the river. Fnrfds For Relief Work "A fund of $300,000 will be ready to-day for general relief work it is announced. Relief committees which were appointed yesterday took up their work early to-day. The finance committee will meet in the mayor's office this morning to complete the plans for raising fund of $200,000 to which the Western Electric Company has added SIOO,OOO. Deputies from the State's attorney's * office began the work of summoning -Tkraembers of the crew who are known to have escaped. Among the men sought is said to be George Munger, of Kalamazoo, Mich., purser of the Eastland, and an important witness. Many spectators of the disaster will he examined by city officiols who plan an investigation separate from those of the federal and county offi cials. Five Excursiouists Saved by Young Machinist By Associated Press Chicago, 111., July 26.—Five excur sionists were saved through the ac tivity of Robert F. Snyder, 19 years old. a machinist, who had boarded the beat as a member of the holiday party In company with Miss Bessie Straan, his sweetheart. "We were thrown under the boat j when she capsized," Snyder said. "As soon as I had come to the surface I saw Bessie. I held her with my legs and swam toward the boat with my arms. Just as I got started two women who were struggling in the water saw me. They grabbed me around the neck and held me so tight that they dragged me under the water. I man aged to fight my way to the top and came up close to the boat. I saw a hoard and caught hold of It. With the aid of this board I raised the three girls to the surface and then caught a long piece of hose that ran along the side of the deck. The girls caught this, too. After we had rested for i. minute I raised them to the side of the boat. "Then I dived after one of Bessie's friends, but could not find her. As I rose I saw two women alongside of me. They were under a projection of the top deck t f the boat which was clear from the river, I caught one of them by the waist and pulled her on the hull. The other must have drowned. I tried to find Bessie's sis ter. but could not locate her, but man aged to raise one woman who was struggling in the water to a refuge on the hull. By that time my strength was about gone and I wrapped Bessie In some paper and took her home." Citizens May Investigate Cause of Big Disaster Washington, July 26.—A board of civilians and naval officers probably will be asked by the Department of Commerce to investigate the Eastland disaster, in addition to the investiga tion by the Board of Federal Steam boat Inspectors. Acting Secretary Sweet to-day pre?iared to make a rec ommendation for such an additional Investigation to Secretary Redfield. The inspections required by law of the local board of steamboat inspec tors In such disasters, dealt only with questions of carelessness if any "or in competency of licensed officers. The judgment of the inspectors in passing the vessel on inspection Mr. Sweet ex pressed the belief to-day that there ell might be an investigation with a broader scope, conducted by men in I whom the public would have greatest! confidence because of their standing and experience. Should Secretary Redfield decide not to appoint a spe cial board it is probable that solicitor Thurman, of the department, will be sent to Chicago to assist in the in quiry by the local board. Any assist ance the solicitor might extend would CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears Signature of MONDAY EVENING, be In the nature of advice as the local board Is entirely independent of hlgh ! er authority during its investigation.

Captain Kenry Pedersen, of the Eastland, early to-day agreed to be interviewed. He was asked to use his own language in dtscrlbing the circumstances leading to the disaster. He responded to sev eral questions as follows: "There were three custom house in spectors at the gangway. Although we used to go out alone, Saturday we had a tug to tow us past the State street bridge, where there is a sharp run." "How much did you list before you gave the order to 'Stand by'?" "Not much. First she listed to star board and she came back, and then she didn't list so very much; then she straightened up all right, and I was going to send out the word to let go the line. She listed over, and I hesi tated. I had already given the second mate orders to 'stand by' and let go tho stern lines. "I gave that warning to 'stand by' because she was listing and she kept on listing. The harbor master was on the deck. He shouted, 'Are you ready. Captain?' He wanted to throw the lines out. I didn't start. I thought she was going to straighten up, but she shifted, and I shouted, 'Open the inside doors and let the people off.' This was to the crew.

GERMANS SINKANOTHER AMERICAN STEAMER [Continued From First Page.] steamship other than that contained in the press dispatches. Washington Officials Are Shocked by Attack By Associated Press Washington, July 26.—The torpado lng of the American steamer Leela naw is a shock to American officials who see in the incident further ag gravation of the situation between Germany and the United States. Although they hesitated to-day, in the absence of details, to construe the act as coming within the warning of the last American note which pointed out that further violation of interna tional law affecting American citizens would be regarded as "deliberately un friendly" the view taken was that Ger many, in effect, had ignored and dis regarded an earlier note sent in con nection with the sinking of the Amer ican sailing ship, William P. Frye, by the German cruiser Prinz Eitel Fried rich. In that communication the United State asserted Its position that even though an American ship carried con traband of war, it was peculiarly pro tected from destruction by the stipu lations of the Prussian-American treaty of 1828. Flax, which was be ing carried by the Leelanaw, was de clared absolute contraband by Ger many on April 18 as retaliation against the British contraband declaration. While precedents of international law in recent years, supported particularly by the Declaration of London, have recognized the rights of a belligerent to sink a neutral vessel carrying con traband if the ship svas certain of condemnation by a prize court, the ac tion had been limited to extreme cases of necessity when the taking of a prize into port would Involve dan ger to the vessel making the capture. Irrespective of the principles of in ternational law noted on that point, however, the United States, in its cor respondence with Germany, insisted on the application of the following article 13 of the treaty: "In the case of one of the contract ing parties being engaged in war with any other power, to prevent all the difficulties and dismunderstandings. that usually arise respecting merchan dise of contraband, such as arms, am munition and military stores of every kind, no such articles carried in the vessel, or by the subjects or citizens ( of either party to the enemies of the other, shall be deemed contraband so as to induce confiscation or condemna tion or a loss of property to individ uals.
