NORFOLK, Va Feb. 2 That the forty lives lost in the sinking of the steamer Monroe by the Nantucket wero victims of criminal carelessness and that such finding would be established by the Federal Investigation seemed evident today. The commancer of each vessel has formally charged the other ivlth running through the blinding fog .it a daugerous rate of speed. 3 lie Monroe's captain charges that his signals -went unanswered. The Nan- in-vet's rnntnln allcces the Monroe tried to cross his bows In violation of the rules of navigation. The real responsibility is yet to be taken by the local inspectors has shown a mass or coniraaituui mn -reconcilable statements. Tinier Most Determine. And It -wiir bo the- duty of Supervising Inspector Uhter and his tujsistants to sift this evidence and then recall the witnesses and determine just who was to blame for the catastrophe, ono of the worst in the history of Atlantic Coastwise shipping. This Inquiry will bo started tomorrow. Meanwhile the wreckers are trylns to set divers down to jearch the wreck. The Monroe is believed jo be resting on the bottom of the ocean. Fifteen feet of her mast are still visible todaj above the surface. The wreck presents a, dngerous menace to navigation and as soon as it can be Marched it will be blown up. All of the rescued passengers who are mtm in horoltal were reported out of danger today. Congress May Investigate. "Upon the official report received from the local inspectors of the United States steamboat inspection service by George Uhler, supervising inspector general, will depend whether an Investigation into the loss of the steamer Monroe will be ordered by Congress. Representative James Manahan cf Minnesota is prepared to introduce and press such a resolution, if the report, in his opinion, warrants such a course. This disaster has been seized upon by advocates of the "La Follette seamen's b'Jl to urge the need for the speedy passage of that measure, t is under stood, however, that President Wilson favors a modification of the bill's more burdensome provisions, particularly as applied to vessels on lakes and bays.

Another merry war is brewing in the District section of the Women's Na tional Democratic League. Officers of the section today refused to comment on the "expulsion"' of Mrs. Sabina Morton, wife of Brig. Gen. Charles Morton, for "lack of harmony" with the plans of the local administra tion. Mrs. Morton refuses to recognize her "expulsion" and will attend the next meeting of the section to prove It. There were hints of a meeting of the executive Tniard Of the local branch of the league today, to consider Mrs. Mor ton's sensational reply to the letter which notmed her tnat her name nan been dronrjed from the rolls. Mrs. C. Albert "White, pnvldent, said she Knew notning or such a meeting. Suffrage Causes How. The trouble started during the nation al convention, January 7-S, at the Wil lard Hotel. Mrs. Norton had been elect ed a delegate from the District, she says, although Mrs. William A. Cullop. national president, declared that she was not properuy autnonzea. At any rate. Mrs. Morton gained ad mission to the convention chamber and voted on all Issues. Mrs. Morton led the fight for the recognition of suffrage by the league, and Is thereby credited with arousing the resentment of the national and lo cal orthodox elements in the league. The first intimation that Mrs. Morton had of being dropped, came in the form of a registered letter last Friday, which read: "Mrs. Charles Morton: "In accordance with resolution, passed by the executive board of the District of Columbia section, W. N. D. I., January aJt 19H, the corres ponding secretary was instructed to send to vou this communication: 'Resolved, That whereas Mrs. Charles Morton does not work in harmonw and for the advancement of the Dis trict of Columbia section, the execu tive board, acting with the power given them in section 9, article, 1, orders her name removed from mem bership list and initiation fee of ?1 returned to her. "MRS. DIEPFENDERFER. "Corresponding Secretary." "No Such Section." Mrs. Morton declared she was accord ed no chance to defend herself, knew of no meeting of the executive board on January 20, and that she had not paid an initiation fee of Ji. because It was not required. Furthermore, there is no section 9, article 1, of the section's constitution, she savs. There is but one section of article 1, and that pertains to the name of the District branch. There is no article or section of an article, says Mrs. Morton, which authorizes expul sion of a member by the executive board. The personnel of the section is so changed, she declares, that she is at a loss to account for their knowledge of her alleged lack of harmony In the section's work and interests. Mrs. DIffenderfer declares she had for warded the letter to Mrs. Morton, pure ly as a matter of routine, and that any statement would have to come from Mrs. W. F. JIancock, the vice president, Mrs. Hancock, In turn, declared the District section would "enter Into no newspaper controversy with Mrs. Mor ton. She has been dropped from the organization, and that endB the mat ter." Power Behind Throne. Mrs. Hancock was unable to give the wording of section D, article 1, under which Mrs. Morton was dropped. Mrs. Morton declared there was no provision for dropping of a member from the rolls wlthoua a trial, and that up to the time of the last national con vention, January 7, the District branch had no by-laws. "Mrs. Hancock is the real power bo hind the throne in this matter." said Mrs. Morton. Mrs. Hancock intimated that thero would be a meeting of the board of directors today, although she refused to give any of the particulars of this meeting. "I will acquaint you with the result of the meeting," was all she would say. Mrs. White declared that if Mrs. Mor ton had received any such communica tion, naturally she held no status as a member. "We do not care to answer the charge of Mrs. Morton," declared Mrs. White. "If the newspapers care to print her statements, thev have that privilege. I know nothing of the case." 1019 Seventeenth etret northwest Rachel Jl llanison to Marlon V. Harrison, lot 9, square 1S4. 12 Barry Karm K.

"The volume Is not excessive, and in some lines it is not nearly as good as It often Is at this season of the year; but the trend is upward and the community Is looking forward to better times. "Although Washington Is not In the area where the unemployed class would become very prominent, it may be said that there Is absolutely nothing in the situation here to suggest suffering among wage earners: on the contrary, competent workmen are finding plenty to do, and the buying power of this community has not been, apparently, greatly reduced. People are living more nearly within their means, and there Is less inclination to make heavy out lays for luxuries. It is perfectly evi dent, also, that during the last year or so there have been immense addi tions to the surplus funds that are available for reinvestment. People throughout the South are enjoying good times."
