ADAMS PRINTING 1 STORY OF ERDISH TOLD BY VONEN {Wyoming Brings Last 8 Ves- |- tris Survivors to Norfolk. Colored Fireman Praised. 3y the Associated Press. NORFOLK, Va. November 16.—The wory of heroism brought to shore by e battleship Wyoming with the last ight survivors of the sinking of the estris added a glorious page to the | -agedy of the sea. i Exhausted and running a high tem- serature from many weary hours of ex- sosure in a stormy sea, five white somen and three colored men were al- ‘owed to sleep late today—a sleep thnl neant returning strength to bear up ‘motionally under the great strain. One woman had lost both husband and hild, two others had lost their hus- cands and a fourth, who had lost a ’:hfild. learned that her husband was safe. Only one of the women was unable v waik ashore yesterday—Mrs. Teruko Inouye of Tokio, wife of the Japanese consul at Buenos Aires. She was utterly exhausted from the strenuous effort to save her husband from the waters, clinging to his body even in death when | picked up by the Wyoming. | Holds Husband Up. Mrs.-Norman K. Batten of New York was also given the rol2 of heroine in the final chapter of the tragedy. Her hus- band, along with Maj. Inouye and other men in the badly crowded lifeboat, had axhausted themselves in bailing and righting a lifeboat that continued to capsize in the high seas. Thrown into the water and no longer able to keep | afloat. Mrs. Batten kept her husband up os long as life lasted, being forced | t0 1t go before aia airived. Mrs. Elvira Fernandez Rua of New 3edford had lost both husband and *hild, Mrs. Mary Ulrich of New York had lost a child but learned that her husband was safe and Mrs. Dolores Sarriero Doril of Brooklyn had been informed that her husband was picked up alive at sea. But among the three negroes, stokers on the Vestris, was one whom the res- ~ued women acclaimed as the hero. He was Gerald Burton of Barbados. “If it hadn’t been for Gerald, we wouldn’t be her2” was the comment of | | Mrs. Batien just before she lapsed into sleep at the Naval Hospital last night. ‘When the water crept up in the boiler room Monday he remained below and k2nt up steam in an upper boiler to; give power to the radio generator, the last hope of the doomed vessel. He; remained there when the ship was standing almost on her beam ends. Hclped Rizht Lifeboat. When the overloaded lifeboat cap- sizad Burton was one of the men who righted it. The capsizing and righting continued six times and at last the 50 or 60 survivors had becoms a mere handful. Burton found himself strug- | gling alongside Mrs. Batten and Mrs. Ulrich, “Stay with me and I won't let you drown,” they quoted the black man as_saying. But amid the story of fortitude and heroism there was another note of vio- lation ‘of the stern law of the sea— women and children first. Mrs. Batten said she was placed in lifeboat No. 8 with Mrs. Earl Devore, wife of a Los Angeles race driver, and about 60 other persons. The boat was both - overcrowded and undermanned. Another boat containing only a few members of the crew was seen nearby nd the No. 8 boat drew alongside to Zul\.sle: some of its passengers. Mrs. Batten said Mrs. Devore got into the other boat, but that when she tried to follow. she was pushed back by an oar and the boat then shoved away. ‘The stokers said that there was ap- parently a sea valve leading to the ash hopper that had cracked, probably be- fore the vessel sailed. OF VESTRIS DISASTER London Newspaper Says Inquiry in U. 8. Is Not Sufficient, Al- though Recognizing Right. By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 16.—The Morn- UR | ing Post, independent couservative pa- per, in an editorial today on the Ves- tris disaster said: “In the peculiar circumstances it is inevitable that there should be an American inquiry. The Vestris was en- !gaged in the American coastal trade, | saling under American regulations. But as she was a British ship, we think, in the interests of both justice and the British mercantile marine, there should also be an inquiry under the British d | Board of Trade. “The fair fame of British shipping cannot be left in foreign hands, and the case of the Titanic showed that an American court of inquiry does not fol- low lines acceptable to this country. We make no criticism or complaint on that score.” The Board of Trad: has ordered an inquiry. SHAW AGREES ON LETTERS New Yorker Comes to Understand- ing With Author About Purchases, LONDON, November 16 (#).—The Daily Mail said today that George Ber- nard Shaw and Gabriel Wells, New York bookszller, had come to an under- standing regarding publication of let- ters recently purchased by Mr. Wells. ‘The understanding was reached after Mr. Wells and Mr. Shaw met and had an intimate and friendly talk. Shaw was stated to have insisted that some selection be made as to what is to be published. The paper said that Mrs. Shaw would probably act as censor. Will Rogers NEW YORK CITY.—Everybody has b2en wondering what Mr. Coolidge will do after March.

INSPECTION SHOWED SHIP English Insurance Aéency’s Inspectors Also Reported Lost Perfect C By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 18.—Records of the inspection of th2 Vestris made by three United States Dcpartment of Commerce inspectors and agents of Lloyd’s, the English maritime insur- ance organization, show the liner was re’glm"ided in perfect condition before she sailed. The ship presumably was gone over from stem to stern, as the reporis were made on boilers, engines, lifeboats and other life-saving equipment, hull, plat- ing, pumps, watertight doors, double bottom and watertightness of the bal- last tanks The three United States inspectors were Edward Keane, in th2 service 17 years: F. N. Bruning and Frederick L.| Dennis. Keane and Bruning both are licensed masters, Inspection Record Given. The inspection was begun November | 2, continued the next day, resumed on November 5 and completed November 17, three days before the boat sailed. Keane said that to determine the efficiency of the lifeboats they were filled with stevedores and members of the crew and lowered to th> water at the pier in Hoboken. “There was not the slightest diffi- cully in accomplishing this,” he said. “If the crew of the Vestris required two hours or more in gettizz the boats over it was their inefficiency rather than the inefficiency or condition of the ats.” | n Whether you rent or whether you buy, You pay for the home You oceupy.” -Warren Capital Mother | is Proud, Now | R ( Don’t allow your ¢hild to remain weakened or run-down for any length of time.

Lloyd’s Agents’ Inspection. Agents of Lloyd's, according to Capt. William 8. Heasl2y, assistant superin- tendent of the Lamport & Holt Line, made an inspection November 5 and 6 while the ship was in dry dock in Brooklyn. “In all probability the examination included the coal port named in the stories of the survivors,” he said. Rescued firemen of the Vestris have charged that a coal port was jammed so that it would not clos~ and that much water was shipped through it. Keane denied that the coal port was defective. If the coal port was jammed and left open, he said, it was due to careless loading of the coal.
