Ttalian Town—No Victims and Damage Was Insignificant. Verona, Italy,’ July 28.—About a dozen bombs were dropped on this city yesterday by an Austrian aero- plane. There were no victims of the ajr attack and the damage done to property was insignificant. 3 An alarm was given as soon as the Austrian machine made its appear- ance over Verona early this morning and all lights were extinguished. All the forts defending the city directed a fire at the aeroplane which, throwing down the missiles, succeed- ed in escaping. Verona is a fortified city, and next / to Venice, is the most important town of the Italian compartimento of Venhe- tia. It is situated at the base of ihe Tyrolese Alps, on both banks of the River Adigo, sixty-two miles west of Venice, Venona has a population af about 75,000. It contains in normal times a garrison of 6,000 men and is the seat of the commandment of the | third -army corps. ! it did. niot I ‘stability to carry e Mrger load. after E CAPTRR. Divers Seek Hundreds of Bodies Held Fastin Eastland EASTLAND DISASTER Witnesses Say He Was Warned of Listing and Failed to Act Chiecago, Ill., July 28.—Oveflouling under-ballasting and grounding on the river bottom were cited in testi- mony yesterday at the coroner’s in. quest as seasons why the steamer Eastland toppled over Saturday at jts whart snd drowned hundreds of ex- cursionists. Adam F. Weckler, har- bor master, and Joseph R. Lynn, ag- sistant harbor master, both of whom were present when the steamer' cap- sized with 2,500 persons, its licensed capacity aboard, in ascribing the ac- cident to these causes, told the cor- oner’s jury that the boat was “cranky” and should never have been permit- ted by govéernment inspectors to carry more than 1,200 persons. While the jury was hearing wpis and other testimony; Secretary of Commerce Redfield looked over the upset boat .and watched divers, searching the wreck and surrounding waters, recover three more bodies. He said that government supervision had not been lax and that the East- land had safely carried many more passengers than were aboard when the ship rolled over. = He said that federal officers would do everything possible to fix the blame, if there was any, let it rest where it might. ‘Warned Captain To Trim Ship. Harbor Master Weckler testified that he arrived at the FEastland’s wharf twenty minutes before the Steamer was due to start and saw that the boat was listing to part. He said he called to Captain Harry Pedersen of the Eastland to trim the vessel, shouting that he would not open the | Clark street bridge until the boat was | righted. Mr. Weckler said the captain tried to right the ship, but seemed unable to take water into the ballast tanks fast enough. The harbar master said he had no doubt the tanks had been pumped dry, but that the captain should have been able to fill them in from three to six minutes if nothing had been wrong with the valves. Boat . “Cranky.” “I never saw the Eastland loaded 80 heavily as it was Saturday morn- ing,” sald Mr. Weckler. “The boat first listed about seven degreées, then came back slightly and again started over, and kept on going. A boat that is difiqult to handle under all cir- cumstances i§ known as a ‘cranky boat’ and I have noticed the Eastland to be cranky constantly. “I -don’t think that the Eastland should have been allowed to carry more than 1,200 passengers. because e enough . draft. and “Only last Tuesday I told Captain Peder: sen that his boat needed trimming as it was constantly traveling on its ears. | He said that the twin screws kept the Eastland on an eveq keel while under | way. “After his arrest I heard Captain | Pedersen say that he tried for seven- ten minutes to trim the steamer, but could not get water into the ballast tanks fast enough. I don’t believe that Captain Pedersen realized the danger until the final plunge came.” Mr. Lynn'testified that he arrived Jjust as the Eastland was due to start. He saw the dangerous list of ' the steamship and called the police and | fire departments, returning to the wharf to see passengers leaping from the decks to the river. Believes Ship Touched Bottom, “I believe,” he said, “the ship was on the bottom aft of midship. If she lay on a bank sloping towards the middle of the river and was being jammed ‘down against this bank, she would naturally tip toward the river’s center. If the captain tried for sev- enteen minutgs to right the boat with- out attempting to get off those = on board, there was negligence.” Mr. Lynn said that he saw many of the crew leap-onthe wharfside while the ship was careening. Captain John H. O'Meara of the tug Kebosha, which was hitched to the Eastland to tow the ship out of the river, testified that he did not take hold of the Hastland until after 7:26 several minues after other wit- ! nesses said the ship had begun to list. Even then he wafted for word to go ahead and the captain of the Eastland ‘was not working out the stern ds was necessary to protect the screws. Cap- tain O'Meara said he finally got the word to go ahead but before the tow- line was taut, the Bastland listed @dangerously and he stopped, but the ship never righted. ' He had towed the Eastland four times, and she al- ways listed, he said. 3 Permit To Take 2,570 Passengers. L. C. Wheeler, assistant division su- Derintendent of the department of Justice, submitted government inspec- tion certificates, in¢luding /the latest one issued by Robert Reid, July 2, 1915, at the request of Captain Peder- sen, that the carrying capacity be in- creased. This certificate allowed the Eastland to take on 2,670 passengers an increase of 500 over previous per- mits. William JF, R. Wood a naval archi- tect submitted to the coraner’s jury a long technical statement similar to one he made just after the capsizing of. the Bastland, condemning various measurements. and arprangements of the ship. Coroner Petér Hoffman then took the jurers to the wrecked steamboat, so that Mr. Wood could explain his technicalities. No Friction, Says Reédfield. © Seéretary of Commerce Redfield to- night issued & second statement as- serting that there was friction be- tween federal inspectors and anybody else. Mr. Redfleld sald he had ar- ranged to co-operate fully with Uni- ted States District Attorney Clyne in | inquiry. It is believed that several hundred ! bodies are still imprisoned in the huil of the Eastland, which cannot , he reached until the vessel is raised which task wijll take probably several days. the hull are still more bodies buried in the mud. Coroner Huffman is of the hull therz are between 500 and 700 bodies. If his opinion proves cor- rect the death roll will exceed 1,600. P S SRR S dent. The statement said that under the was obliged to make an investiga- should be made by inspectors other than those concerned in certifying the steamer. It was purposed, therefore, to call on the Milwaukee board to hold the inquiry in Chicago. The statement contin- ues: Unofficial Observers. “In order that the seriousness -of this particular accident may be given due weight, we shall arrange with the lacal board of inspectors to have Mr. Thurman of the department of justice and myself conduct the inquiry, with the assistance of the commanding of- ficers of the steamboat inspection ser- vice. It seems right to us, however, that something more should be done than that and therefore, I have ask- ed Harry Weller, vice-president of the Union Trust Company and Marvin B. Pool' of Butler Brothers to act as un- official observers or partakers in the It is my purpose to ask that the Western Electric Company select some technical member of its staff as a third representative. “It is hoped to begin the inquiry Thursday. The supervising inspector general of the steamboat inspection service George Uhler, will arrive from San Francisco tomorrow. These hear- ings are informal in the sense that legal restrictions as to testimony are waived.” Not A Steamboat Safe. The statement that there is not a steamboat traveling on the' Great Lakes that is entirely safe was made today by Victor A. Olander, secretary of the Lake Seamen’s Union, after leaving the grand jury chamber where he had testified as the first witness in State’s Attorney Hoyne’s investigation of the Eastland wreck. “There is not a boat traveling upon the Great Lakes that is safe, as it rea- HOW SHE ENDED TEN YEARS OF SKIN-TORTURE Oct, 28, 1914:—*T had eczema on my face for ten years.

The of- ficial list of identified again totaled 824. While the list of missing grew, only three bodies were recovered and divers said that probably not more than a score of victims remained in the ship. Divers walked the river bed, hand i hand, yesterday, but found no bodies. It was said that the num- ber of missing might be greatly re- duced by weeding out duplications and tardy reports from those saved. While State’s Attorney Hoyne .said he had evidence that some 2,700 were on the ship, the government checkers said that they were positive no more than 2,600 went aboard, including children. A contract to raise the steamer was let yesterday and the work will be be- gun as soon as possible. Many funer- als were held today and the day was officially proclaimed as one of mourn- ing, public building being draped. Moving picture censors yesterday refused permits to four concerns which wanted to display pictures of the Eastland disaster on the ground that the companies wanted to ‘“‘com- mercialize a calamity.” A. O. Rigby, an eyewitness to the accident, described seeing the East- land list to the river side until ‘the freight deck doors were even with the water. He was on the Clark street bridge and shouted to the captain of the Eastland: “The boat is listing; the boat is listing. Look out.” He sald that when it had gone over to an angle of about forty-five degrees the passengers ran to the dock side of the deck. When the water poured in the freight deck doors, the boat tipped more rapidly and the people began to fall and jump. Captain’s Testimony Interrupted. Captain Harry Pedersen of the Eastland was called as a witness by the coromer’s jury at the night ses- sion. He testified that he had sailed among other ships the Northland, which for a time plied between Chi- cago and Hamburg, Germany, and had been a master of ships for twenty years. The state’s attorney interrupted to say:— “You made a statement in my office and I don't think you should testify here as you may be indicted for man- slaughter.” “I am willing to tell the truth” said Captain Pedersen. But on advice of counsel the captain left the stand and was at once taken into custody by officers. Joseph M. Erickson, chief engineer of the Eastland,. was ex- cused from testifying on the same grounds as Pedersen. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the L7 British Field Marshal Picks Way HITCHENER PAYS VISIT 0 FRONT Through Ypres Wreckage British Headquarters, France, July 20.—Another dull week at the British | front has been relieved by the visit of Field Marshal Lord Kitchener, which is the more interesting because it is the first time he has been In the area held by the British troops. His pre- vious trips to France nave been for conference at General Joffre's head- Quarters. Probably not one out of a hundred soldiers saw him. The army went on with its work; he saw it at work and chose wnat he wished to see. Laid Out On Programs, Other visitors had programs laid for them but he laid vat his own, which was a revelation to energy and precision in the amount or ground cevered. The only ceremonious affair vas a parade of Indian cavalry which he briefly reviewed. Kitchener showed particular inter- est in the trenches, and all the con- tons relating to the real fighting. It was a ticklish moment for his aide and the officers in comman, of that sec- tion when he went to Ypres, which 1s still dally subjected to shelling. Picks Way Among Wreckage, The field marshal picked his way through the former street among the wreckage, saw a seventeen inch shell hole in the Plaza, the remains of the Cloth hill and other sights, an im- pressive example of the destructive ncwer of modern shell fire. Unusual as it was in Ypres, not a single shell fell while Kitchener was there. It happened that ' white Kitchener was visiting a heavy battery a charac- teristic action of trench warfare de- veloped on the only part of the ilne that has seen any sction this week. At Pilken, north of Ypres, the Ger- mans comanded two small hills, which gave them a punishing advantage over the British trenches on their front. The British determined to try to rectify their line and, after the usual artillery preparation, charged and by a free use of the bombs took 250 yards of German trenches, 80 prisoners and two machine guns. The battery which Kitchener was visiting was called upon to assist in the work of repulsing the counter attack to re- cover lost ground, which failed. The war minister saw no more of the conflict than anyone not engaged can see In a wooded flat country, The visitor gave considerable at- tention to two schools, which show how self-contained the expedifionary force is as a world in itself. At the machine guns school he met officers and men drawn from the regiments at the front being trained In handling weapons which have come to play such an important role. At the cadet school, where the problem of filling paps caused by officers, the cascualties is being solved, he met privates out of the trenches who have shown ap- titude that they receive put a short exacting course of inetrucuon before iney are sent back to the trenches with commissions. SEND NO YOUNG MEN TO FRONT British Doctor Submits Report On Treatment of Cases of Mental Shock From War Service. London, July 28, (Correspondence of The Associated Press)—The inad- visability of sending very young men ta the fighting front is emphasized in a report by Dr. Murray Leslie on the treatment of cases of mental shock resulting from war service. Nearly all the cases of fighting affecting the mind have been in men of 21 or 22 or younger; declares Dr. Leslle, who suggests that this may be the reason for the recent German order that mo more volunteers under 21 will be aec« cepted for the army. Dr. Leslie divides cases of battle shock into two classes those wha have been constantly subjected to ehell explosion and have no actual in- jury, and those suffering from neu- rasthenia. The first kind of case is characterized by a curious stupor; frequently patients are oblivious of all their surroundings. The neu- rasthenia cases require prolonged treatment, and is regarded as a great mistake to send them back too soon. The writer points out the possibil- ity, as the war progresses, that these cases of war-shock will became fre- quent also among the population at home. The censors know what they are doing when they suppress the grewsome detalls and pictures of Zeppelin ralds. Such action is most impartant to. keep up the morale of the nation, and is perfectly right from a medical point of view. Optimism is one of the greatest values to the nation as well as the individual. The feeling that all is going well is a great menta] tonic.” THANK AMEFRICAN RED CROSS, Germans Express Appreciation for Motor Ambulances. ‘Washington, July 28.--The grati. tude of the German Red Cross for hospital supplies and four motor am- bulances esnt by the American Red Crose is expressed in a letter received at Red Cross headquarters yesterday. announecing tho arrival of the ships ment in.
