The wo United States local inspectors of steam vessels who investigated the disaster off the Virginia coast on Jan uary 30 in which the steamship Nan tucket rammed the steamer Monroe casuing the loss of 41 lives, rendered divided opinion f,dav, one holding the capiain of the Nantucket euiltv of negligence and ilw oih-r ,.,,-; the commander of the Monroe with esponsibility for the disaster. The report of the investigation along with the two decisions were forwarded to Henry M. Seely, supervising inspec tor at evv York. It i not L-n,,..,,. U..r what Ihe next step in the case will be but it is believed the supervising inspec tor will consult the department of com mere at Washington heiore making any furt her move. ' The local inspectors who investigated the collision are Captain R. A. Sargent inspector of hulls, and D. H. Howard, inspector of boilers. The department of Coin iTlOrci' ( Irs if n:i I -rI thm t r lnra tigate the charges against Osmyn Ber ry, captian of the Nantucket, brought by the local inspectors at Norfolk after a preliminary examination. The char ges Captain Berry included negli gence in not reducing the speed og his vessel in a tot; and wirh --"e, - tssertain through the wireless operator the proximity of other vessels. No charges were brought against Captain Edward K. Johnson of the Monroe Twelve day were devoted to hearing witnesses and after counsel for Captain Berry had argued his case today, the' board rendered its decision--. Captain Sargent 's report then charges Captain Johnson with "iiicomi e.ency" negligence and inattention to duty. He is charged in the report with vio 'a i .n of the internal ionsl rules for I revealing collisions in giving a wrong whistle signal in a fig: with negligence and inattention to duly because hr l ok no action to (ircv nl ih. collision or to lessen its force when the vessels came in sighi of each othtr, and with incompetency and unskillfulness be cause proper discipline or organiza tion was not maintained among the crew in an effort to protect the lives of all on board and because no proper effort to protect the lives of all persons on board and because no proper eff ort was promptly made to obtain as sistance from the N'antacket. On ihe last speilif'n-aiioM Captain Sargent said: While be believe that Captain J thn son, as .in individual did evervthinii that was humanly possible to -ave t hk lives of all, it is to be regretted that 1 rf did not dehgate certain duties w'lich he attended to himsolf to some of the other members of his crew and thus give himself more time to devote to 'natters of greater importance." Inspector 1 -Inward re! "used to sign this report and rendered one of his own in which he found Captain Berry guil ty of failing to reduce speed in a fog as charged, but not guilty of alleged failure to use the wireless apparatus and recommended that his master license be revoked.
