PHILADELPHIA, March 1$.-The two
United States local Inspectors of steam
vcssols ,who Investigated tho disaster on
January SO, in which the steamship Nan
tucket rammed the steamer Monroe,
causlnr tho loss of forty-one lives, ren
dered a divided opinion today. One held
the captain ot tho Nantucket was guilty
ot negligence and the other charged the
commander of tho Monroe with re
sponsibility for tho. disaster.
Silt-gent and llo-rnrd.
The local inspectors who Investigated
the collision are Captain B. A. Sargent,
Inspector of hulls, and D. II Howard,
Inspector of boilers. Tho charges against
Captain Osmyn Berry, captain ot the
Nantucket, Included negligence In not re
ducing tho speed of his vessel In a fog
and with neglecting to ascertain through
tho wireless operator the proximity ot
other vessels. No charges were brought
against Captain W. B. Johnson ot the
Monroe.
The opinion filed by Inspector Sargent
says that Captain Berry and all other
licensed officers of tho Nantucket are
exonerated from blame.
Charges by Snrsent.
Captain Sargent charges Captain John
son with Incompetency, negligence and
Inattention to duty. Ho Is charged ttlth
Riving a wrong whistle signal In tho fog;
with negligence and Inattention to duty
because he took no action to prevent tho
collision and with Incompclo and un
sklllfullnesB because proper discipline or
organization was not maintained among
tho crew In an effort to protect tho lives
ot all persons on obard and becauso no
proper effort was promptly made to ob
tain assistance from the Nantucket.
Inspector Howard refused to sign this
report and renderl'l one of his own In
which he found Captain Berry guilty of
falling to reduce speed In a fog, as
charged, but not guilty of all cged fail
ure to use the wireless apparatus, an!
recommended that his master's license be
revoked.
In announcing his report Captain Sar
gent stated he had been a licensed
master and was experienced In navigation
and that Inspector Howard was not e.
licensed master and had no practical
experience as a navigator.
Action in New Haven
Case Imperative,
Says Senatof -WeeJ
.WASHINGTON, " March' lB.-V'fhey are
fiddling away whito Homo Is burning,''
said Senator Weeks, republican, ot
Massachusetts, today, after ,a conforencj
with President Wilson ,ln which ho de
clared tho New Haven railroad conferee,
with tho Department of Justice wcro
wanting- time and that executive- lnfluencu
was required to bring them together
promptly.
It was understood that the senator sug.
jetted to the president that ho call In
Attorney General Molteynolds, Governor
"Walsh of Mamachusetts, Chairman How
ard Elliott of the New Haven and T.
W. Gregory, special counsel for tho De
partment of Justice, to bring about an
agreement.
Tho president had a conference arranged
with the attorney general later today and
it was not supposed that ho Mould deter
mine on his course, until ' them. Senator,
Weeks pointed out what he believed to be
a serious aspect of trie situation.
"Tho New Haven," he said, "must-raise
about 100,000,000 in the noxt four months
to meet maturing obligations and. under
present condition It cannot. There Is
onu man who can bring all the various
elements together. He Is the president of
tho United States."
Senator Weeks indicated he had not
discussed tho merits of the demunds ot
the Now Haven and the Department of
Justice, but emphasized the necessity for
prompt action.
The attorney general's view Is that the
property should be, disposed of within
the next two and a half or thre years,
beforo tho close ot tho present administra
tion, because ho thinks -tho responsibility
for the dissolution of the New Haven
should not be left- to any future admin
istration, vv.

DENVER. Colo., March Hi. '.'I am
going back to Trinidad before the end ot
this week, declared "Mother Jones to
night. "I fully expect to be arrested
and put hack In prison as soon as 1
teach the strlko zone, but no Governor
nor president can make me abandon my
constitutional rights as 11 cltUcn ot the
United StatoH to go where I please, so
long as I live, I shall rofuflo to submit
to military despotism."
' The light blue eyes of tha IK tic. while
lmlred old woman flashed through the
henvy lenses of her gold bowed spec
tacles as sho delivered Iior defiance to
tho civil and military authorities ot tho
stato of Colorado.
"Vcs, I shall go back ta Trinidad,"
continued, "Mother" Jones, tho K-yeor-old
leader of striking coal miners. "If
they should not arrest me at once, I
will go to the strikers' tent colonies and
tako up my work where I had to drop
It two months agn when iho militia
locked me up. 1 shall go ahead caring
for the wives and children of thcatrlkcrs
and encouraging the men In their re
sistance to tyranny and robberby the
coal operators who own sotithQrn,jCol6
rado." V . '
Removed it I th Secrecy.
This was tho program announced by
Mother Jones at tho end jf her first
day of freedom after nor release from
San Rafael hospital, Trinidad, where sho
had been held a military prisoner since
January 13. The aged strlko leader
reached Denver early today after having
been removed from the h-uspltal and from
Trinidad with the utmost secrecy last
night.
Soon after her arrival she had a two
hour interview with Governor E. M. Am
nions, whom sho holds responsible for
her imphlsonmcnt and for mnny other
events )n the hlBtory pf the strike which
she declares discreditable to the Stats.
, Ab o the exact manner In which phc
was removed from iho nosnltal there Is
Of sharp--clash between ."MoUiri- .Jones
and" the state authorities Tho strike
lendor declares that ehe'ryas simply de
ported', that she. was oidered to prepare
for the JourncyKti'nd was brought to
Denver under military escort and at
stato expense, Without having given her
consent. Governor Amnions and Adjutant
General John Chase said that "Mother"
Jones has expressed willingness to comd
to Denver, leaving the strike zone, if
Governor Ammons would grant her &n
Interview. .When It was Intimated to tho
strike leader that the Inlorvlow would
be granted the official account ot tho
affair runs, sho came to Denver of her
oton accord.
Illouks Action for Appeal.
Horaco N. Hawkins, attorney for the
strikers, entered tho controversy with
the statement that he told tho governol
that "Mother" Jones had not asked for
an interview, but that sho would call
upon tho governor If inlvted to do bo.
Thereupon, avers Hawkins, the governor
Invited tho strike leader to ciULt his of
fice. Mr. Hawkins further expressed the
opinion that tho state authorities feiaught
"Mother" Jones to Denver and released
her because they did not wish to have
an appeal to tho state supreme court
taken la tho habeas, corpus suit recently
denied by District Judge A. W. Mcllcn
drto at Trinidad. The appeal In this case
was to have been filed today. The release
of tho prisoner blocked this action.
Mr. Hawkins said tonight: however,
that If "Mother" Jones retijrns to Trin
idad and Is again arrested he will bring
habeas corpus proceedings directly in the
supreme court, as the Identical Issues al
ready have been passed upon by tho dis
trict Judge.'
The contcrenco between "Mpthcr" Jones
and Governor Ammons was attended by
John R. Lawsou and John McLennan,
strike leaders; by Mr. Hawkins and by
Cluudo Falrchlld, tho governor's private
secretary. The proceedings were amica
ble, all parties shaking hands before sit
ting down around the big table In the
governor's private office.
Deported Asalnst Ovrn "Will
"Mother" Jones told Governor Am
mons that she had been deported against
her will and that she was going back to
Trinidad whenever It pleased her. Tho
governor replied that he hoped she would
not violate the law or do anything to
causa disorder In the ktrlko zone, Tliero
was a longthy argument over constitu
tional rights and the authority of tho
mllltla to mako arrests.
In the course of the Interview with lhc
governor the labor leaders served notice
that they would make an effort to re
store the lower Forbes tent colon, where
tho tents recently wcro demolished by the
mllltla.

Page's explanation of his London speech,

Panama tolls repeal is satisfactory to

concerned. When a fuh report of tho
speech is received It will be forwarded to
the senate, which asked for It In a reso

President Wilson told callers today that
any agitation over Mr. Pace's references
wa caused by a misunderstanding ot
what the ambassador said, and that
a fuller report ot the speech showed that
the ambassador had correctly stated the
situation.
The president is satisfied that Mr. Page
