CAPTAIN IS BLAMED FOR WRECK OF SHIP Skipper, Charged With Ineffi- ciency, Stuck to Craft After It Grounded. | By the Associated Press. PORTLAND, Oreg., June 22.—Capt. Louise Johnsor of the aker Line freighter Laurel, wrecked off the Colum- Chargea. with ineflclency by e Edthofer of the United States Steam- ‘boat Inspection Service. Capt. Edthofer made the accusation at the investigation into the wrecking of the Laurel. The ship grounded on a sand spit in a heavy storm. One of the crew lost his life, nearly five | million feet of lumber was lost, and the large freighter reduced to wreckage. “I feel that you did not exercise good judgment.” Capt. Edithofer de- lared as he addressed Capt. Johnson. who had just completed his testimony. “If I had been in your place, I would have ascertained the condition of the weather at the mouth of the river. T would then have placed a sufficiently large crew on watch to care for the ship's property in case of emergency: I would have tested the steering ap- paratus previous to my departure: I would have stationed a man at the hand wheel. You did none of these 4 M Capt.” Johnson attracted consider- able attention by his refusal to leave the ship for several days after the crew was taken off. He said he remained aboard to protect the ship's money, | papers and instruments. i Italian Singers Coming to U. S.
