we had." -
Km I. title A boat Oaf I.

long It would take to fill the ballaat
tanka and trim the ahlp.

neer of suhh' a ahlp a the Kastland to
know how long It would lake to fill tha
ballaat tanka. He aald he did not know
how much 'water the ballast tanka held
"The vessel first listed to tha dock aide
and wa let water Into the tanka on tha
river sMe. 'Then, whan- tha loading be
came heavier, it listed to tha river aide
and we began to fill the dock side tanks
and empty the' port or river aide tanks."

board tanka. Snow aald:
"We bad pumped etit tha port tanka
and began to fill the starboard tanka.
afr. Erlckson aatd, -J. think It la catch
trig,' meaning that tha intake waa work
Ing. Wa had no Idea that tha tanks ware
not filling."
Young Eastland Oiler

Used to Boat Listing
C1I1CAUO. July . St. rprter Khckaon, a
l-yar-ol4 oiler on tha . Eastland,, a

tanks on the morning of the disaster.
"Later when the boat listed vary rediy
they aent ma up to aae if tha boat was
caught on the dock."
., . Uricksoq eajd the Eaatland frequently
naught no tbe dock while tha tanks were
being filled or empttec.
"1 don't know whether the boat caught
on the dock or not," aald tha ooy. "Wheu
1 got up on the aeoond Jerk the water
waa pouring la and I had Just time to
grab the dock and climb out "
"Was there much excitement In tbe
"erialne room while the boat waa listing T"
"No." replied Krtcksen.
"Wa were used to the boat tinting. It
alwave Hated ene aide or the other."
FJtckaon aald his brother, tha engineer,
since the accident had told htm he
"thought the boat atuck on the bottom or
- that there were too many people on
'board.
' Plate's Attorney Hoyne aald today:
- VThe slate 'a attorney's office la pro
ceeding oak the theory that somebody Is
, guilty of manalaughler and certainly
some owners of common carriers are
guilty' of gcoaa criminal negligence. Bec
' tlon S ef the criminal code In the latter
connection makes It neceeaarv only to
endanger Ifves of paaeenrere they need
iMit be loot.
"There are three contributing agencies
or causes of thta aoctdent, as I see H.
They are the government ,nanectoTa,
steamboat people and the operating force
or crew of the boat"

that criminal proceedings be started, and
then it the. county attorney ahould, In
hla Judgment, decide otherwise i wui let
the matter drop. If Weaterfleld'a aots
do not constitute embeaslement, then I
want to know iwhat doea constitute em
beaslement," declared the mayor.
The mayor believrs that Weeterfteld'a
dertalon to return wsa the result of ad-
vlre to him that circulars bearing bis
picture would be sent through police
channels all over the country.
Differ front Mayor.
Commissioners Hummel, Drexel, Jar
dine and Wtthnell dp not share the iewa
of the mayor aa to the criminal proeecu
tlon of Weeterfield. They maintain that
If the former treaeurer of Dundee makea
good the ahortage the matter ahould be
dropped.
"I believe there waa mismanagement
on the part or Wssterfleld. I don't be
lieve he waa a .crook or criminal at
heart," aald Commissioner HummeL
"I believe the members of the Dundee
village beard are morally guilty for not
having checked the Weeterfield aocounta,
aa required by law," waa a statement
by Commissioner Butler.
Asaerta Ha Waa lck.
A composite aummary of tha altuatlon,
ae expreaeed by several who are eloae
to this matter. Is. " Weeterfield will return
voluntarily and will plead he haa been
sick, that there are some errors In his
books and that there la money tn the
bank to meet any ahortage on. account
of such errore."
Corporation Couneel Itnbert la pre
paring the papera to be eubmtued to the
county attorney. A certified eopy of Com
missioner Butler's report will be trans
mitted to County Attorney Magney and
the corporation counsel will outline what
evidence the city haa In the raae. Tbe
county attorney wtll require a little time
to review the evidence before filing a
complaint.
An Independent check of the Weeter
field accounts le In progrrea In" the city
hall.
It la expected Weeterfield will arrive
on a Friday morning Kansas City train.
He wired he started from 'an Bernardino,

Proaeeailoa Mlaht Kail.
The county attorney bWlevee, however,
that if the shortage is made good by
Mr, Weaterfteld prosecution probably
wuld fall.
,"( doubt whether prosecution would be
euccesaful If Mr. Weeterfield makea good
the etvortage," said Mr. Maguey. "But
If city officials dealre tbe proeecu tlon to

Various Forms
Of Headache
"It is neoessary In order to treat head
aches properly to understand the eaases
whleb produce the affection'' aays Dr. J. W.
Ray ofBlockton, Ala. Continuing, bs sayti
Physicians eannot even begin the treat
ment of a disease without knowing what
causes give rise to It, and we must remem
ber that beedaohe Is to be treated aooordtng
to tbe aame rule. We must not only be par
ticular to give a remedy Intended to coun
teract the cause which produoea the head
ache, but we mast also give a remedy to
relieve tbe pain until the oaose of tbe trouble
baa been removed. To answer this purpoae
Anti-kamnla Tablets wtll be found a most
convenient and satisfactory remedy. One
tablet every one to three hours gives eomforl
end rest In the most severe oases of headache,
neuralgia and particularly the headaches
of women."
When we have patient subject to regnlar
attacks of sick headache, we should oautton
blm to keep his bowels regular, for whlob
nothing Is better than "Actoida", and when
he feels tbe leaat sign of an oncoming
attack, be should take two A-K Tab leu.
Huob patients should always be Instruoted
to carry a few Antl-kamnla Tablets, so as to
have them ready for Instant use. These
tablets are prompt In action, and can be
depended oo to prodaoe relief la ft very
few minutes. Ask for A-K Tablets.
