STARVED TO DEATH
IN LONELY CABIN
SUFFERING FROM MALARIA.
BODY OF JOHN* BROWS FOIXD IN
A HOI ME NEAR FOOLER.

Railroad Watchman and a Tele

Who Inventlgated the Caae and
Said Malaria and Starvation
Canned the Man's Death—Rati Been
Dead for Some Time When Found.
Coroner Decided No Inquest Wan
Necessary.
In a lonely cabin beside the Central
Railroad tracks near Pooler, John
Brown, a white man apparently about
40 years of age, suffering from mala
ria and unable to go and beg for
food, slowly starved to death. His
body was found early yesterday after
noon by a railroad watchman and a
telegram was sent to Coroner Keller,
notifying him of the death.
Hater in the afternoon, the coroner
visited the cabin and examined the
body. The bare cabin, the empty
vessels where food supplies had once
been kept and the emaciated form of
the corpse, all told the story of such
suffering as seldom falls to the lot of
man in civilized lands.
Dead for Some Time.
The man had been dead for some time
when the body was found, just how
long, is not known. Dr. Keller ar
ranged with a man in the neighbor
hood to watch the body last night, and
to-day it will be, turned over to the
county authorities for burial. 80 far
as in known Brown had no relatives.
For some time, Dr. Keller says, he has
been living on the county.
He had been in ill health, but man
aged to subsist in some sort of fash
ion on the supplies he drew from the
county and what little he could make
here and there. How long he had been
so ill that he was not able to get about
is not known. To have starved, how
ever, he must have been alone In the
cabin for a week or more. During the
last days of his illness, he was prob
ably too weak to even get water and
his sufferings must have been in
tense.
Mnlnria the ( nine.
Dr. Keller says the man was suffer
ing from malaria, and that malaria
and starvation, together, caused death.
No death certificate has as yet been
made out, but the cause will be at
tributed to these two, when the cer
tificate Is made out to-day.
Practically nothing Is known here
about Brown. Dr. Keller decided that
no Inquest was necessary, as there
seemed to be no doubt as to the cause
of death. The coroner did not reach
the cabin until early last night, and
it was too late then to have the body
removed. The burial will take place
to-day, the county defraying the ex
penses.
“PURE ELECTIONS”
AGAIN HIS THEME.
Continued from Eighth Page.
by the declaration that there was no
contest. Will this wise man or some
other tell me just when it is proper
to point out fraud In an election? I
have tried every time, and the advo
cates of dirty politics found fault every
time.
The Fleas Entered.
“When there is a contest and the
ballot Is corrupted they say they pay
no attention to the critics. He is a
sorehead or his party, faction or friend
is defeated. It is only the old cry of
the loser.
"When there is no contest, and I
think surely they will hear me now,
they will say, unable to twist the thing
into partizanship, ‘nobody profits by
the fraud. Why does he disturb our
•placidity?’ Pray when and how shall
we object? No man nor party may
have profited by this fraud, but it does
disgrace and demoralize the commun
ity. It teaches the citizen that the bal
lot Is useless, that counting is the art,
and destroys faith in law and popular
government. It encourages managers
in practices that will affect somebody
In future elections.
"I will tell you when to speak out on
dishonest elections. Every time you
believe fraud is practiced. This I shall
do in spite of double-barreled columns
leaded with themes about which I
might preach and not disturb the se
renity of editor-legislators.
'the Child labor Question*
“The charge that I was silent on the
child-labor bill is a cruel misrepresen
tation. As It is calculated to alienate
from me friends among the labor ele
ment I have been tempted to think
that it was even malicious. However, I
refuse to believe that a man I have
respected could stoop to such things.
"It is absolutely false. My mother’s
last conscious act was in behalf of
factory children. Not for a moment
has my heart failed to respond to this
noble reform, nor has my voice been
silent. All through Jefferson. Washing
ton, Glasscock, Wilkinson, Twiggs, and
Bibb counties, while presiding elder,
I advocated legislation to suppress
this evil. As pastor in Waycross and
In Savannah I have discussed the
subject. If the editor-legislator is
not convinced I can give him text, ar
gument, and a cloud of witnesses.
Ottered to Take Stump.
"Moreover, If my memory is not
greatly at fault, in a conversation with
this very editor-legislator I told him
the weakness of the tight was In the
country. There the people cannot un
derstand factory conditions, as farm
labor Is wholesome. They cannot real
ize the situation In the crowded, lint
atmosphere of the mill. I volunteered
the suggestion that a country cam
palgn should be undertaken and of
fered my services for the stump.
"That my zeal made no little Im
pression on the memory of this great
man Is truly mortifying to my soui.
Such, alas, is human glory!
V nr Clrnn Elections.
"In conclusion," said Dr. Williams,
"let us keep the object of this de
mand In clear view. Give us clean
elections In Chatham county. If my
charge Is not true, let thorough inves
tigation demonstrate It. If it Is true,
let the proper court In Chatham coun
ty punish the offenders. Do not try
to hide it by telling the public what I
have not said. A greut many think
that already I have said too much.
"The truth Is, a shell bursted over
there near the editor-legislator's desk
snd It raised an Inky cloud. When It
lias sudsided the same old fraud will
be seen. My genuine friendship for
my critic will be tbe same, and I
hope it will find him in a repentant
frame of mind."
A congregation that filled Trinity

T. Vincent's comedy, “Our New Man.”
This young man possesses undoubted
versatility and delightg his audience
with his genuine humor and natural
style of acting. In this play he has op
portunities that give to him the right
to be classed among the great peers of
mimicry, such as the late Roland Reed,
Stuart Robson, William H. Crane and
Nat Goodwin. The cast with which
Mr. Beresford has surrounded himsell
is said to be one of unusual excellence

the leading comedian, Prof. Zachary

ates on a Southwestern tour and who
stops in Texas as the guest of Prof.
Pettibone's niece, who is the owner
of a cattle ranch. Mr. Carle dis

“Lundberg had been appointed mere
ly on probation in the service, and has
been dropped. There can, of course, be
no further action taken about Flem

although it does not follow that an ac
quittal would prevent the department
from discharging him from the service.
In addition, the Department of Jus

manager and three employes of the
Nonpareil Cork Works of Camden, N.

“This last offense was of so heinous
a character that it is difficult to com
ment upon It with proper self-restraint.
It appears that the national legisla
ture has never enacted a law providing
In set terms for the punishment of this
particular species of-infamy, doubtless
because it never entered the head ot
any man that so gross an infamy could
be perpetrated.
“I suggest that you report this whole
matter to Congress, transmitting these
two reports, and at that time calling
special attention to the need of im
posing an adequate penalty for the
manufacture or selling of defective life
preservers and other life-saving ap
purtenances.
“So much for what the Department
of Justice has done in reference to the
disaster. But, in addition to the men

“According to this report, it appears
that In addition to the two assistant
inspectors who are now on trial, the
supervising inspector of the Second
District, Mr. liodie, and the two local

Messrs. Dumont and Barrett, should
all three be removed for laxity and
neglect in performing their duties.
"As regards the conduct of Mr. Ro

subdivision of the service, save that in
New- York.
“You will also make such changes in
the regulations as are recommended
by the commission, and you will,
therefore, call a special meeting of the
Board of Supervising inspectors for
this purpose. You will also lay be
fore the Congress a request that the
law be changed in the various partic
ulars recommended by the commis
sion.
Law Must Be Paused.
“I wish particular emphasis laid upon
the proposal of the commission that
there be ereated by law a special body
thoroughly to investigate the laws
which are supposed to provide for the
safety of passengers on steamboats, es
pecially on excursion boats, where the
prime causes of danger are the over
crowding and the tiimsy and highly in
flammable character of the superstruc
tures. Very truly yours,
"Theodore Roosevelt.
“Hon. V. P. Metcalf, Secretary of
Commerce and Labor.”
The report states that the General
Slocum was owned by the Knicker
bocker Steamboat Company, a New
York corporation; that the Slocum was
last inspected by Henry Lundberg and
John W. Fleming. May 5, 1904, and
that the current certificate of inspec
tion at the time of the disaster was
Issued May 6 by James A. Dumont, in
spector of hulls, and Thomas H. Bar
rett, inspector of boilers, the board of
local inspectors at the port of New
York.
Slocum Flimsy A easel.
In describing the Slocum, the report
says it is constructed entirely of wood,
that the upper w-orks were in a highly
Inflammable condition, and that there
were no fireproof hatches or bulkheads.
The commission states that there are
many similar vessels doing service in
the United States, the construction of
which is quite as dangerous. Regard
ing the origin of the fire, the report
says:
“The fire started in the forward cab
in, so-called, being the third compart
ment under the irfatn deck from the
bow and probably originated in a bar
rel containing packing hay, which w-as
In that compartment, one of the barrels
used for bar glasses and brought on
board by the charterers. Fire w*as
probably communicated to this barrel
through the carelessness of some un
known person.”
Wan R n 11k Negligence.
The report also states that this cab
in was filled with inflammable mate
rial, including a large amount of oil;
that members of the crew frequently
lighted matches in the compartment
and that on the morning of the dis
aster a porter filled the lamps in the
cabin, lighted a lamp, blew out the
match, and “threw it on the bench.”
“The condition of this cabin, with the
purposes for which it was used,” the
report recites, “constitutes one of the
essential facts of negligence contribut
ing to the disaster.”
Speaking of the fire-fighting appa
ratus, the report says: “This forward
valve and stand-pipe were supplied
with a 100-foot length of cheap, un-
Uned, linen hose, costing probably less
than 20 cents a foot, age unknown, but
probably several years old.”
Foor Fire Equipment.
The rest of the fire apparatus on the
main deck Is said to have consisted
of the after valve of the said stand
pipe, two hand fire pumps and some
twenty buckets. “None of the remain
ing apparatus was used and the buck
ets were empty.”
It Is stated further that the linen fire
hose attached to the forward stand
pipe burst in two or three places and
was blown off from Its own coupling
with the stand-pipe. Efforts then were
made to attach rubber hose to the
stand-pipe.
“Upon the failure to couple, the rub
ber hose to the forward stand-pipe,”
the report says, "the crew gave up all
further attempts to fight the fire and
went aft, some of them overboard."
Tribute is paid to Assistant Engineer
Brandow and Chief Engineer Conklin,
who remained at their posts.
No Aid for Passengers.
Continuing the report says; “The
evidence before the commission
establishes the fact, that the master
made no attempt whatsoever to fight
the fire, to examine its condition, or to
control, assure, direct or aid the pas
sengers in any way whatever. It is al
leged that he was unable to reach the
place where the passengers were, by
reason of the fire,but this Is contradict
ed by the evidence of many witnesses
and is obviously not true.”
“An essential fact of negligence is
the utter failure of the master to fight
the fire or aid the passengers. In a less
degree the pilots in the same manner,
after beaching the boat, and while
there were still many passengers on
board, failed in their duty to assist
and rescue the remaining passengers.”
Flints Referred to Also,
The commission expresses the opinion
that the men in the pilot house had
knowledge of the fire In time to have
beached the vessel either in Little Hell
Gate, to the westward of the Sunken
Meadows or In the Bronx Hills, to the
eastward of the Sunken Meadows In
stead, as the commission states, of
pursuing a course which drove the
flames aft and delayed beaching longer
than necessary.
The commission sharply criticises the
flre-flghting apparatus, saying:
“There is a strong probability that
the fire would Wave been controlled had
the fire hose been of required statutory
strength.” Many of the life pre
servers, It Is stated, were bad, and fur
ther, that only a small percentage of
the passengers used them. “The In
efficiency and poor quality of the deck
crew of the vessel, doubtless typical of
the majority of the crews of the excur
sion steamers," says the report, "is one
of the essential facts that caused the
loss of so many lives.
Owners Must Shore Blnme.
"While it is true that It Is the bus
iness of the steamboat inspection
service to see that proper safety ap
pliances as required by law are pro
vided. this by no means relieves the
owners from a similar legal and moral
obligation, nor from the liability for
the maintenance of proper crew disci
pline.
The commission Is of the opinion
that the owners of the General Slo
cum are censurable In a high degree
for the Inadequate and Improper con
ditions prevailing on board this ves
sel. and that, whatever may be their
technical legal liability, they and their
executive agents share largely In the
moral responsibility for the awful re
sults of this disaster.”
Inspectors Did lint Little.
The commission made an Investiga
tion of the workings of the steamboat
Inspection service In New York both
for the explanation of certain features
of the disaster and for the prevention
of recurrence of similar disasters.
The commission says, In connection
with the service at New York, that
the locul Inspectors were Interpreting
their duties in several respects in a
msiiner not Justified by the statutes;
that the requirements as to the testing
of fire hose on passenger steamers was
disregarded; that the assistant Inspec
tors made no pressure test of fire hose
except such as was Incidental in the
use of such for testing boilers; that
they uniformly reported the hose “in
good condition;” that the local inspec
tors accepted the reports of their as
sistants without personal knowledge,
and that the joint rule which requires
that a vessel’s equipment shall be In
spected Jointly by the inspectors was
not enforced.
Board Didn't Do Duty.
Asa result, the commission states
that the life saving apparatus was
often in extremely bad condition. The
commission recommends thorough re
organization of the force of assistant
inspectors with a view to eliminating
all who have demonstrated incompe
tency, and continuing says: “It is un
deniable that the local board In this
port did not do its duty. Upon the su-
