' Responsibility and Liability. l The preliminary investigation into the cause of the disaster which was begun by Coroner- Berry last night was continued today. Every person known to have witnessed the tragedy or thought to have any knowledge that would be of value in firing the cause or responsibility had been summoned to appear and tell their stories. Manv orcrnbersmf the crew all of whom. the coroner believes. could give much in)- portant testimony, have. disappeared. but suhponeas have been issued and detectives were limiting a thorough march of the city for the missing ones. The coroner stated today before the examinatiim of witnesses was begun. that nothing final was expected from this preliminary investigation. it was made merely for the purpose of weed- ing out the material from the Immater- ial testimony and 111111111115 the matter in a firmer working basis.

Wandering from the morgue the pier and attempted to throw her- She had been watched. however. and policemen seiz- cd her in timt1 to save her life. She was taken to Bellevue Hospital. All through the night and today men in driving suits, others with grappling hooks. stood on the decks of tugs. about the sunken wreck of the Gen cral Slocum. Now and then a man in one of the weird looking suits Would slip over the side of a tug and sink to the bottom. As a diver would bring a body to the surface a grapling book was placed 11n- der it and it was raised to the deck of a tug. Some of these bodies were beyond recognition When several bod- ios were recovered they were trans.- for-red to another tug and taken to im- provised morgues. How many dead lie in that charred and sunken hull cannot even be esti- mated until every nook and comer of the shell has been gone over by the divers At sunrise today two divers came to the surface. in the arms of one were two little girls clasped in each othera‘ arms. Their hair was the same color and their dresses were alike indicat. ing that they were sisters. The other diver had in his arm's the body of 11 young woman which had been found with those of the little girls In her dead hand was still clasped the dress of one of the children and the divers thought that she1 was their mother and had gone to death with them Brought into the Alexander Avenue Police Station and tagged as one of the unidentified dead.

A woman searching among the dead for 11 relative noticed that the girl was breathing and called ‘sm ambulance surgeon. who found that there were rigns of life. After the surgeon had worked over her for half an hour she opened her eyes. and she was then hurried to the Lincoln Hospital.
