Chief Weather Forecaster Shows the ,
President That Mariners Had
I
Been Warned of the Storm.
_ i
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—In reply
to the request of President Wilson
for an investigation into the causes
for not reporting the recent storm
which swept the Great Lakes, Chief
Weather Forecaster Marvin stated \
to. the president-'oday that warning)
had been given to the masters of j
lake steamers of the approaching j
storm, but that the masters and own- ;
ers are too busy counting up their j
profi's and fear to allow the boats
to remain in port idle, which result
ed in their not noting the warning
and acting accordingly.
Mr. Marvin attached to his letter
telegrams received from the forecast
ers of the lake cities, in which they
assert that several days before the
storm they posted notices, mailed
copies to the ship owners and pub
lished the forecast in local news
papers, predicting tlie storm. Mr.
Marvin also attached a number ot
Cleveland, Chicago and Detroit pa
pers of those dates showing that the
forecast of the storm was publish
ed as stated.
