TESTIFIES S 0 S OF VESTRIS LED TO WRONG SPOT Captain of Wyoming on Stand in U.S. Quiz of Disaster. By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 26—Rescue ships were unable to reach the steamship Vestris when it sank two weeks ago because erroneous bearings were given when the SOS was sent out, Captain L. M. Overstreet of the U. S. S. Wyoming testified at the federal investigation into the disaster today. Captain Overstreet told Commissioner O’Neill and two naval experts sitting at the hearing that a check-up of positions made since the disaster showed the Vestris was thirty-six miles east of the position given at the time. Life Preservers Criticised One ship, the G. H. Jones was within five miles of the reported spot at the time—around 10 a. m., Nov. 12—Captain Overstreet testified. and nine others centered their courses toward the scene immediately after distress signals were received, one of them reaching the place at 5:30 p. m. Captain Overstreet said life preservers used in American passenger service were not safe, and should be replaced by some similar to those used by the navy. Passenger service life belts are too low on the body, Captain Overstreet said, and when the person using one collapses, allow his head to fall in the water and drown. Navy belts have a support to hold the head up, and fit higher around the body. Four Reasons for Disaster Another witness, Harry Wheeler, superintendent of the Lamport & Holt lines, listed four possible reasons for the sinking of the Vestris when he took the stand. First-Rupture of the shell-plate. Second —Sheering or parting of the seams. Third—Fracture of one or more sea connections. Fourth—Straining of the coal ports or side doors by heavy seas. ‘‘l cannot as yet choose between these causes,” he testified. I may be able to do so when I have completed my inquiry.” He said he hoped to complete his inquiry by Tuesday and was asked by U. S. Attorney Charles A. Tuttle to return Tuesday afternoon with his complete findings. Engineer Collapses Wheeler said he was delayed in the inquiry by collapse of Chief Engineer James F. Adams, who broke down while being questioned at Lamport & Holt offices Sunday. Wheeler was questioned by Captain E. S. Jessop, American marine expert. Congress will be asked at its session beginning next week to pass laws protecting travelers against sinking of ships, at sea, Tuttle indicated later. Funeral for Slain Bandit Bn Times Special

AL’S INDIANA FARM COHORT LAUDSHOOVER Settle Believes PresidentElect Will Keep Promises of Campaign. William H. Settle, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, who fought for A1 Smith in the recent campaign, today wholeheartedly praised President-elect Herbert Hoover and declared he felt certain Hoover would keep his promises for farm relief. Settle delivered his annual speech at the federation convention at the Claypool, before 1,000 delegates, the largest attendance in the organization’s history. The convention ends Tuesday evening. It opened at 10 this morning. “It is the duty of every farmer to fight for adequate legislation,” Settle declared. “The rural home, the rural school and the rural church depend on the prosperity of the farmer. “Coolidge Doesn’t Understand” “It seems that we have won,” he referred to Herbtr Hoover’s speech declaring for the establishment of a federal farm bureau, made in St. Louis just prior to the election, “but we can lose everything yet, “In my opinion the only thing that would prevent real farm relief legislation would be to undertake to jam an agricultural bill through the short sesssion of congress that convenes Dec. 3. “It is apparent that President Coolidge, referring to his own statements, does not understand agricultural problems. An attempt to enact legislation in the short term would no doubt prevent Hoover from carrying out the program he has promised, a promise I am certain will be kept.” Settle outlined the farm bureau’s stand for the Democratic platform in the presidential election and received a wave of applause. He lauded President-elect Hoover and outlined the new chief executive’s federal farm plan for agricultural relief. “Must Organize” “The Need of a Militant Farm Bureau,” was the subject of M. S. Winder of Chicago, executive secretary of the American Farm Bureau Federation. “It is squarely up to the incoming administration to ‘come through’ and make good to the American farmers on promises of the last eight years,” he declared. “We must organize into one gigantic group, compact, and aggressively active,” he said. “Then, and then only, can we make the nation understand that we, too, must have the protection which makes it possible to enjoy the high standard of living given workers in other fields.” Several other speakers of national prominence are on the convention’s two-day program. George E. Metzger, director of organization, Ilinois Farm Bureau, spoke this
