Find No Evidence
of Negligence in
Lake Drownings
Testimony Beveals Ill-Fated Boat
Was Declared Seaworthy on
July Eleventh.
Chicago, July 29. A four-ply in
vestigation of yesterday's excursion
boat disaster in which 27 persons,
mostly women and children, lost
their lives today revealed no evidence
of negligence or carelessness on the
part of the crew or owner.
Xone now is reported missing and
authorities believe that all of the
other 49 on board the Favorite were
saved.
According to the best check-up ob
tainable today, there were 71 pas
sengers aboard the ship when it
foundered.
Instead of culpability, inquiries in
dicated that the boat had been pro
nounced seaworthy as late as July 11
.md that the skipper tried valiantly
to save his boat when the sudden off
shore squall struck it.
Fred J. Meno. district steamboat
inspector from Detroit, asserted the
Favorite carried twice as many life
preservers ar. would have been re
quired for yesterday's passenger list
Had there been any question of the
little boat's stability, federal head
quarters of steamboat inspection
would have ordered a stability test
Meno said.
Observations of Coroner.
On the other hand. Coroner Oscar
Wolff said he found that straps on si
few preserverc were rotten and that
many of them were inaccessible. Pre
servers designated for children were
in some instances too high to reach
he believed. The coroner's observa
tions. however, were made informal
ly, and were not made a part of hif
inquest.
The disaster was "an act of God."
asserted William A. Rittenhouse, as
sistant state's attorney, who was di
recting the investigation for that of
fice. The fourth inquiry was started bj
Michael Hughes, chief of police, whe
ordered five members of the crew
held.
Although there is no official list
of missing, several persons who are
believed to have been on the boat
have not been found. Throughout the
night and today divers and coast
guards searched the lake in the vi
cinity of the disaster for bodies.
High waves finally forced them to
abandon their work.
Yachtsman Commended.
In bold relief against a background
of gallant actions stands the rescue
efforts of William A. Hofnauer, mil
lionaire yachtsman, and four com
panions, who, first to reach th?
floundering Favorite, saved more
than a score. Chief of Police Hughes
has? recommended hero medals.
Hofnauer, before the state's attor
ney's investigators, defended Captain
Alson, asserting he should be "prais
ed for his heroism instead of censured."
B0TT0MLEY BACK HOME
Upper Dickens, England, July 29
Horatio Bottomley. once an out
standing figure in English politics
and Journalism, returned to his home
here today, unheralded and unexpect
ed, after serving more than five
years in prison for fraud. The town
folk had planned a big reception for
him when he should be freed, but
since not even his wife knew he
would be home so soon, he received
no acclaim.
Later in the day, however, Bot
tomley felt the warmth of greeting
from his neighbors. The first person
to meet him at his home today was
an old and trusted employe, Harry
Hakenden. Old Harry immediately
hurried into the village, waving his?
arms and shouting:
"The gov'nor's come home."
The inhabitants of the hamlet ran
to Bottomley's residence to welcome
the man whom they had always re
garded as their hero. Bottomley
eagerly revisited every corner of his
old home, and tears came to his eyes
as his favorite dog hurled itself upon
him in ecstacy.

Chicago, July 30. Withdrawal of
n petition seeking to restrain Tex
Rickard, New York, from promoting
the proposed Dempsey-Tunney fight
here indicated in a letter Friday
night to Rickard by J. Kentner El
liott, attohney, who as a taxpayer
filed the petition here last week.
Upon receipt of the letter Rickard
said, "All opposition to holding thr
fight in Chicago is now apparently
thrust aside, and barring unforeseen
developments the fight will go to Chi
cago." Elliott in his letter said, "In view
of the public sentiment in favor o?
the fight," his action would not bo
pressed.
Mr. Rickard also received a tele
gram from his New York board of
directors which read:
"We are ready to back your judg
ment as to Chicago, provided all ar
rangements are clear and satisfac
tory." "I'm a happy, happy man tonight."
Mr. Rickard told the Associated
Press. "It certainly looks sure that
Chicago has captured the big fight."
The New York promoter said hf
had already received three largf
orders for tickets Friday, totaling
S180.000. One of the orders came
from a group of Chicago bankers for
$100,000, Mr. Rickard said.

WIDOW OF PULITZER DEAD
New York, July 29. Mrs. Joseph
Pulitzer, widow of the founder of
the present New York World, died
today at Deauville, France. She has
been ill less than a week, and was
in the company of the youngest of
her seven children, Herbert, and his
wife. She was seventy-four years old.
Mrs. Pulitzer had lived abroad of
late years, as her health necessitated
frequent treatment in both France
and Germany.
She was a second cousin of Jeffer

became noted for her great beauty
and charm, carrying with her thru

Angelus Temple here. Mrs. Kennedy,
who has been ousted as business man
ager of the temple, charged her
daughter with stirring up a revolt
in the church organization against
her.
The evangelist countered with the
declaration that Mrs. Kennedy had
threatened to "crush" her and close
every pulpit in the country to her.
