NEW

(CP)
Sensational
charges
in
regard
to
conduct
of
officers
of
the
Ward
liner
Morro
Castle
during
the
fire
disaster
aboard
the
vessel
at
sea
last
Saturday
were
made
at
the
government
inquiry
into
the
calamity
here
yesterday.
It
was
alleged
by
witnesses
that
Edwin
S.
Abbott,
chief
engineer
of
the
vessel,
did
not
go
down
to
the
engine
room'
on
being
called
after
the
fire
was
discovered
and
that
he
and
two
of
his
assistants
were
in
the
first
lifeboat
to
be
broken
out
from
the
ship.
In
this
lifeboat
were
only
three
passengers,
it
was
said.
Passengers,
it
was
declared,
had
to
jump
into
the
sea
while
officers
were
leaving
the
ship
in
the
boats.
The
deaths
were
entirely
confined
to
passengers.
Disclosures
following
one
another
in
rapid
succession
tend
to
substantiate
the
charges
that
there
was
lack
of
organization
on
the
Morro
Castle
and
that
lack
of
discipline
of
the
crew
caused
the
burning
of
the
$5,500,000
liner
and
the
appalling
loss
of
human
life.
