SLOCuiw DISASTER
(PRESERVERS PROVED TO
BE WORTHLESS.
Hull of Steamer Raised Death
List Now 907 Many of the
Missing Found by Police.
(Associated Press Report.)
New York June S3. Much of the testi-
mony at the inquest into the Bloc urn dis-
aster today went to show that the life
preservers on the steamer were practic-
ally worthies. At least half a dosen
witnesses described how difficult thee
life preservers were to get at and how
they fell to piece at critical times. Paul
Llebenaw a passenger on the B locum
who lost six members of bis family in
the disaster declared that when the wire
by which the preservers were secured In
the rark would not give he took hold ot
the preservers and they crumbled like
s niuny soda crackers. Captain Van
S.'haick wna brought Into the court room
on a stretcher. He apparently was suf.
feting greatly but expressed a willing
nesa to undergo an examination by th
coroner. He was ordered back to the boa-
pltal. however and his examination
passed until next week.
The hull of the wrecked steamer was
raised today and a great deal of water
pumpt-d out of the hold. A search waa
made for bodies but none was recov-
ered. At the next full tide the hulk will
be taken further lu shore. Supervising
Inspector Rodle of the United States
at earn boat Inspection picked up a number
of life preservers on the main' deck of
the Slocurn and tagged them for u tn
the government Inveatigation. These pre-
servers were badly torn and more than
half filled with powdered cork.
Twenty-four additional bodies wer re-
covered today bringing th total number
of known dead up to 907. One hundred
policemen who have been making a can
vasa of all districts where persons we-
reported to be missing completed their
work tonight. Inspector 8chmlttbrger
who was In scharge of the canvass esti-
mated the total number of dead. Includ-
ing the missing; at about 1000. He said
that the police In many Instances found
at their homes persons who hav been
mlMing since the day the steamer was
burned In one case a man. his wife
and two children whose names had ap-
peared In all the published lists of th
missing were found at their home. They
had not been on the excursion at all and
the elders were not even aware that
they had ben reported missing. Other
among the "missing" were found at hos-
pitals and at various other places.
HEARST IS SUED.
Leader Says Many Claims for
Expenses Are Unpaid.
i Special to the Record-Herald )
Milwaukee. Wis June 20 -There 1. like-
ly to be a sensational aftermath to th
recent Hearst campaign In this Stat. Its
presence was Indicated by a garnishee
suit brought by W. J. Kershaw former
secretary of the Hearst league who seeks
to recover 116. The defendant Is Wil-
liam Randolph Hearst. Ths papers In
the suit which has been brought In a
Justice court are returnable August 1. Mr.
Kershaw refuses to make any statement
regarding the suit further than to say
he expects a speedy settlement.
P. H. Croarkln who also was one of
the leaders In the Hearst movement. Is
not so reticent. He said today that there
would be a "whole lot" of claims filed
against Mr. Hearst within the next few
das. According to Mr. Croarkln Mr.
Hearst through tils msnager A. M. Law-
rence of Chicago promised to make good
all expensea Incurred during the cam-
paign which resulted so disastrously tor
the New Yorker. When J. J. McNally
and other want to Chicago with their
bills they were not given th. "glad hand"
as In former visits he says but were
treated to a large slice of "cold shoul-
der" ending tn an offer to settle the diiis
at something less than 100 cent on th
dollar. All these claims. It was said
were put In the hands of Clarence S.
Darrow of Cl.lcago for collection. Mr.
Croarkln states that he had advanced
money for the campaign but took the
precaution to secure the guarantee of
ths members of the committee that his
expenditures should be paid. "I have not
got my money" he said "but I will."
