It was also directed to ao- was to make a thorough investigation into causes of the disaster ana oi via company such report by recommendaUona I for such departmental or legislative action aa might be required for tbebetter pro- tx.Hnn nf 1lr mtA nrrmertv. The commis sion baa been at work almoat without Interruption since Its appointment, sessions having been held both in New York and Washington. The commission was wholly without compulsory powers to enforce the attendance of witnesses, and this, at times, proved a serious- hindrance to it in its work.

The report is exhaustive and covers 62, pages, containing about words. It becins with a description of the vessel, in me course ot wnicn ii that: f- All the -upper works of this vessel were constructed of light wood, sad had been painted and varnished many times, and were, thsrefore. In a highly Inflammable condition. la construction of the vessel there were no safeguards against fire other than compliance with the regulations aa regards the proximity of woodwork to boiler. The vessel had no fireproof hatches or bulkheads, and was built entirely of wood.

After stating that when a fire once got headway on such a vessel It could not possibly be cheeked, the report says: i There are many similar vessels doing service In the waters of the Unltd States, the construction of which Is quita as dangerous as that of the Slocusn. and unless this kind of construction shall be prohibited or modified by taw the safety of a large number of passengers carried by ex-, curslon steam 3 rs end steamers plying on the Inland waters of the United States can not be assured. The report adds points in connection with the fire on the steamboat now generally known throughout the exhaustive Coroner's inquest, but the new fact waa brought out at the Commission's hearings that the colored porter of the boat, William Payne, went into the forward cabin, where the fire started, on the day oy the disaster, and having lighted one of the lamps stored there with a match, "threw the match on a bench." He also found when -he entered the cabin, filled as it was with highly inflammable material, that an oiler was working there using an open torch as a light. The condition of this with the purpose for which Is was used." says tie report. constitutes one of the essential facta of the negligence contributing to the disaster." The report then exhaustively reviews the fire-fighting appliances on the Slocum: how the hose burst and the crew attempted to -couple on another hose without removing the coupling still remaining on the standpipe: how the crew puUed down a few life preservers, and how the master of the vessel gave the order to run i fuA speed to North Brother Island without going to the scene of the fire or- getting the opinions of his assistants as to where 1tA vMel van ecnaica is oiunca ui words The evidence before the commission estamisnes the fact tnat the master made no attempt whatsoever to fight the fire, te examine Its condition, or to control, assure, direct, or aid the passengers In any way whatever.

It la alleged that he waa unable to reach the place where the passengers il0t witnesses, and were by reason or tne roi oti From a review of the whole testimony as to the time of the discovery of the fire the commission comes to the conclusion that -it was first discovered before reaching Ward's Tvianri- that the mate. Edward Flanasran. knew of it at that time and informed the niinthnnse. The statements of the Captain and pllota radically dleagree with state- menta by other witnesses, but the commis- slon states that It is forced by the weight of the entire evidence to the belief that the statements of the men in the pilot- house must be disregarded, and that they afe lncorrectln far aa they referto the time the fire was first discovered." The re- port a iso says. After careful consideration of the entire testl- mony as to the time of the discovery of the firs, the commission Is of the opinion that the msn in the pilot house had knowledge of the fire before the steamsr pasxed the a tern end of Ward'a Island, The commission herefore believes that the master knew of the Tire In time to have beached the vessel either In Little Hell Gate to the westward of the Sunken Meadows or In the Bronx Kills to the eastward of the Sunken Meadows, and to have thereby gained the great and essential advantage of placing the vessel with her stern to the wind so that the flames would be driven forward and away from th passengers, instead of taking a course that inevitably drove the flames rapidly aft.

toward the passengers, and delayed the beaching of the ves-sl for senral mlnutea longer than was necessary. The commission finds that the vessel was beached with her bow in seven feet of water, ao that the few persons there Jumped into water not much over their -heads, but the stern of the boat, where all the passengers were congregated, waa in from ten to thirty feet of. water, ao that from 400 to 400 persona were drowned at that point after the vessel bad been beached- The report then rays: The commission Is therefore of the opinion that Pilot Van Wart showed bad Judgment or Isck of skill in beaching tax) resael at a eonstd- arable angle with the shore line of North Brother I i.i,n4 thii. iun, in d-n mrmtr ait hut th i Imiw of tha boat, which waa In flimM. and af.

Bven had it i Uons Of the' Commission. been necessary to beach on North Brother Island, the vessel should have been- laid on the shoal to the northward and eastward of the Island, approximately tangent and parallel to the shore llna, with her keel hard on the bottom, the burning side of the vessel to leeward and her guard on the starboard side overhanging shoal water, so that the passengers could have dropped overboard oa that aide and waded ashore. The commission finds most if not all the fife preservers were of granulated cork, and at least a large percentage of them were bad.

due mainly to rotten covers, which tore under the handling to which they were subjected." It finds that the mate. in distinrt violation of the law and contrary to the requirements of the vessel's certificate, was not a licensed that there were. no fire drills, and adds: The Inefficiency and poor of tho deck crew of thla veaaet. doubtless typical of the majority of the crews of excursion steamers, la one of the essential facta that caused the loss off so many tires. The Commission pays a tribute the masters of the tugs John L- Wade and Walter Tracy, without1 the assistance of whom, it says, the loss of life would have been from 200 to 350 greater.

All of the passengers- who were saved, with but few exceptions the report states, were ssved by outside assistance. This Indicates." the commission says, tbe almost complete helplessness of an excursion party of this particular composition, even when most of the passengers were brought to a place within at least 200 feet of the shore. A very important conclusion from this set of facts is that the law and regulations must recognise the fact that an excursion party must be taken care of. and cannot take care of Itself." 'Summing-up the situation, the commission says: The salient points of this disaster te he noted for future use are aa follows: 1. The Slocum waa probably typical In almost all her conditions off many of the excursion toata la Km Terk Harbor and.

doubtless, elsewhere. S. Tbe peculiar helplessness characteristic of an excursion crowd In case of disaster. Peculiar Inflammability of vessel and extrarlrdtnarlly'swlft progress off 4. Collapae of deck, apparently due te weight of crowd.

he la equally chargeable, with negiect of duty. The commission goes at great length Into the deficiencies found on vessels reinspectt ed. Boilers and hulls were found to be substantially good, but fire pumps, and life preservers were universally in bad condition, in spite of the fact that all had been previously passed aa good. The gross inefficiency of the system waa shown when on relnspection the percentage of deficiency in life-saving apparatus was found to be 33 per cent, on excursion and 14.83 per cent, on ferryboats, while in fire bose the deficiency was 15.57 on ocean, 18.78 on Inland. 26.35 on excursion.

15.53 on ferry, and 17.80 on tow boats. No evidence waa. adduced, the. Commission says." to show that there was any graft In the system, but it holds that the men who are responsible for. human Uvea must discbarge their duties In full and.

In order that the proper results may be accomplished there should be a fundamental change in the personnel and methods of the Inspectors. It holds Rodie, Barrett, and Dumont entirely responsible and says that a reasonable view of the matter makes It clear that subordinates cannot be expected to be more efficient than their superiors. The Commission makes many recommendations as to what should be done in the building and equipment of vessels. It says that there is no reason why the disaster to the Gen. Slocum might not be duplicated on any one of the hundreds of vessels still running in New York Harbor and elsewhere.

The Slocum was not abnormal," it says, it was typical." Authority is asked to give the Department of Commerce and Labor absolute authority to enforce upon owners of vessels provisions as to safety appliances and construction, and to say Just what appliances vessels must carry, the present laws being regarded as inadequate in this regard. 'It recommends that the law be ao amended aa to make it possible readily to bring home a criminal liability upon individual owners where their vessels nave been navigated without proper Inspectors should also have power to see that defective equipment is destroyed as well aa con UVernnSSr. demned, and to see tnat tire drills and boat should also have the power to seise a vessel which doea not comply with tie pro visions or im law. The Commission also comments strongly On a point brought out at the Coroner's Inquest concerning the pay to Inspectors.

'ha renort aava that there should be a very clear and complete definition in the law regarding ferryboats, which now are permitted, under excursion permits, to go beyond their -authorized routes with passengers only Tbe matter la important," tbe report says, "because ferryboats now enjoy certain exemptions from the usual requirements as to equipment, and, in the case of a true -ferryboat operating over Its comparatively short route and constructed after the peculiar manner of the usual ferryboat, with a very broad beam, with exceptionally good means of access and caress, and carrying most of ber nassen- gers on one deck, there ia not ao great need or tne maximum equipment tni on the usual excursion of the maximum equipment that la required a tne usual excursion oosl -These recommendations will be trans- mitted to concTess at its afmroachtna? aea- sion.

ACTION BY PEACE CONGRESS Association Secretary. Says King Lso- pold Has Sent Agents Hero to Oppose Movement.

Despite tbe reported refusal of President Roosevelt to take a band there are Indications that the friends of Congo reform may make thla country their principal battle ground during the next few months tn their fight for the overthrow ofvKlng'Leopold's rule in the Congo Free State, or for a complete transformation, at least. of the administrative methods employed by his agents there, E. D. Morel. Secretary of tbe Congo.

Reform Association In Great Britain, who came here two weeks ago to bear a memorial to President Roosevelt to take the Initiative for Congo returned to thla, city yesterday after appearing before the Boston Peace Congress. He denied that President Roosevelt, as reported from Washington, had refused the appeal for Intervention, and declared that the future course of the United States Government In regard to the matter still remained a mooted question. I was received by President Roosevelt thin twenty-four hours of my landing these shores," said Mr. Morel yesterday at the Murray Hill Hotel. After placing the memorial in his hands 1 had a very pleasant talk with the President.

"I have been authorized by Secretary Hay, who received me yesterday, to say that the President was favorably Impressed by the memorial, and that this Government does not doubt that the appeal has sprung from purely humanitarian motives. I am, of course, not In a position to disclose what occurred at the Interviews with your President and Secretary. Hay, but can say that the matter far from being; dismissed, as reported. Is receiving the serious consideration of the President and bis I may say also that the outlook for some action is at least hopeful. not optimistic." -Before Mr.

Morel returns to England, which may be some time this week, it Is expected that steps will have been taken for starting in this country an organisation, with branches In ail the principal cities, built on lines similar to those of the Congo Reform Association, which has been In' existence In Great Britain for a number of years. On tbe other band. King lieopold ia aald to have sent to this country some oKhls most trusted agents for the purpose or stemming any active propaganda. King Leopold's according to Mr. Morel, were very much in evidence in Boston while the Peace Congress was in progress.

Chief among them, be said, were Gaston de Wiert, who is credited with being the private secretary of the King" of tbe BelgtansTand George Herbert Head of Cam bridge. Tbe purpose of our movement In this mtmin." said Mr. MoreL will be to con vey accurate information, te the people here regarding conditions in Congo and to dem- Konstrate that the Congo question is a world niiMtifln. not merelv a Question for the na tions of Europe to settle. As far aa possible pur aim will be to keep it out of politics and oa the broad humanitarian basis where It properly belongs.

On this basis America may usefully and with perfect propriety lend a hand to redress a great wrong without fear of international complications or Infringement of the Monroe Doctrine. On the issue will depend tbe happiness of fifteen millions of human beings, the rescue of an enormous territory from a huge unprincipled trust with a European monarch for its managing Director, and In tbe last analysis the future of civilisation in Africa." Peace Congress unanimously adopted resolutions Indorsing the attitude of tbe Congo Reform Association, despite the opposition of Mr. Head and after Cardinal Gibbons had written a letter discouraging any action on the part of the congress with regard to the Congo questlen. The resolutions called for an Inquiry either by a conference of the powers or by The Hague tribunal into the Congo question for the purpose of determining the status of that territory and of King Leopold as Its ruler in relation to the powers Including the United States, which at the establishment of the Congo Free State gave Its recognition to the flag of the International Association for the Exploration and Civilization of Africa, under the protectorate of which It was founded. This country was the first to recognise the flag of the new State as that of a friendly nation.

It seems extraordinary," said Mr. Morel, "that a man of the weight and weil- eamea reputation oi tarainai uiooons bis most emphatic disapproval."
