INSPECTOR ORIFFITHS SAYS NORTON IS A Conttnned From Pa 3. Column" 5 Norton was reported as having said that every oia hulk that had outlived Its usefulness in the east was shipped out here for the coast passenger trade. Captain Evan Griffiths. United States assistant inspector of steam vessels and late executive officer in the United States transport service, denounced Xorton as a liar, and an inebriated one at that. "When Norton was commander of the united States -transport Terry at Havana, in -1599 I was with him as executive officer." 'said Griffiths yesterday.

"On one occasion we went around the island with General Shaf ter. Norton got drunk and I was obliged to take the command away from him and bring the ship back to Havana. On another occasion Norton, while drunk, had a row with a member of the crew and I was again obliged to interfere to put an end to the disturbance. Subsequently General Humphreys had Norton dismissed at New York. Then Norton was made ship keeper at New York for a private firm.

He Is totally unreliable and. he has told a falsehood about the Will Investigate Columbia Wreck Federal Inspectors and the Company to Combine in an Inquiry Vice President and General Manager K. P. Schwerin said yesterday that while his company, which owned the Columbia, would use every effort to develop all the facts in connection with the disaster, the work would be done in connection with the regular federal investigation under Captain Birmingham and which will be Instituted by Bolles and Bulger, the government Inspectors. Schwerin would not discuss the causes of the collision.

"It is too soon, at present, to state." he said, "where the fault may ultimately rest. Popular report had it that the steamer was struck upon her port side, yet the descriptions of the courses as given from Eureka would Indicate that she must have been struck on the starboard side. Events have established this fact, so little credence is to be placed on the early reports coming from disasters of this kind." Schwerin emphatically denied that It was the policy of his company to encourage Its skippers In hugging the coast, and thus by making a quicker passage save a few pounds of "The utter untruth of such statements," he declared. "Is shown by the very fact -that the Columbia when struck by the San Pedro was 14 miles off shore, and well out of the path of the freighters which usually travel within seven or eight miles of land. As the lighthouses along the coast are not of service to ships farther out than 15 or 20 miles, it Is apparent that the Columbia, was not too close in.

But all the facts will be established In accordance -with the rules that govern American shipping." Great sorrow, was, expressed by the manager of the San Francisco and Portland steamship company, who closed his interview 'saying: is nothing that I can- say except to utter my deep regret at the loss of life which attended the disaster, and the sorrow and tears that follow in the wake of the wreck." Still Have Hope For Miss Stone Friends and Relatives of Nurse From Scanning Keports PETALTjMA, July 25. Elsie May Stone, a trained nurse of this city. Is among the passengers who perished with the sinking of the Columbia. The young woman had just returned from a trip to Tosemlte and left here a few days ago to visit her relatives in the north. Friends and relatives of Miss Stone are Etlll hoping that she may have been saved.

Claim for Heavy Salvage is Made Owners of Steamer Elder Say the San Pedro Was Practically Abandoned EUKEKA. July The steam schooner San Pedro now lies near the Holmes Eureka lumber mill. Is completely water logged, its cutwater Is badly battered, mainmast broken in two and forward seams all open. In the bow on one side is lodged a piece of the Columbia's sheeting two feet long, six inches wide, and also a number of smaller pieces from four; to six inches in length, all wedged into the wood. A dispute has already arisen in the matter of salvage.

By the owners of the Elder, which brought the San Pedro here, it is claimed that Captain -Hansen and his man practically abandoned the San. Pedro, and. that the salvage therefore must be figured as though the San Pedro had been an abandoned vessel. On the other hand. Captain Hansen says he simply arranged with the; Elder for a tow, to Eureka.

His company is willing to pay for the "tow. but will fight the claim to salvage. His Life Is Saved by Presentiment Columbia's Water Tender Refuses to Make Return Trip PORTLAND, 4 23.
