Chicago, July 26—Thus far 809
dead bodies have been recovered
from the sunken Eastland where she
lies in the Chicago River, within two
hundred feet of the Clark Street
bridge, and the police now believe
that the total number of dead will
not be over one thousand. The fail
ure of many of the saved to report
to the authorities until yesterday
lead to the first numbers being so
much in excess of the actual number
of deaths. Captain Pederson of the
sunken vessel, together with his
first mate ate held in prison. It
was with difficulty that the police
rescued them from a huge mob of
frantic relatives of the drowned pas
sengers, who wanted to pull them
limb from limb.
A sweeping investigation of the
disaster hss been ordered by Presi
•lent Wilson personally, and it will
l-e started at once. The general be
lief is that the vessel was overload
ed. The Eastman was a steamship
of 1961 gross and 1218 net tons dis
placement. IJhe was 265 feet long
and 38.2 feet beam. Her depth was
19.5 feet. Her engines were capable
of 3,000 horsepower. She was built
in 1903 at Port Huron, Michigan, and
was registered at Cleveland. Her
crew was usually 75 men.
The owners of the Eastland claim
that the steamer turned over be
enuse over three-fonrtbs of the ex
cursionists rushed to the outer side
of the steamer to wave to people on
shore.
The Eastland horror recalls ihe
burning of the excursion stcarship
General Slocum on June 15. 1901.
The General Slocum took fire while
passing through Hell Gate, East
River, and over a thousand lives
were lost, the victims being women

those places to bolster lip weak spots,
and the situation in Poland in gen

He started with the origin of the
‘i .e iu nimost fifty years ago. and
traced its work up to the present
day. He told of the different aims
and departments of the Bureau
showing that the education and care
of the natives in Alaska was but
a small part of its duties, for as he
put it, ‘‘the Bureau is in fact a
clearing house as it were for educa
tion, wherever the American Flag
flies.” Thus if officers of a town,
or state want information of any
kind along educational lines, the
Bureau aims to supply same. To
this end, a record is kept of edu
cational work in all countries, and
the Bureau makes public the result
of its investigations in pamphlet
and circular letter. 20,000 queries
are received by the Bureau every
year on topics ranging from the
equipment of a kindergarten to the
best methods of securing results in
state universities and colleges.
Dr. Claxton touched on many other
phases of the work of the Bureau,
