i LONDON. Nov. flit-Caustic criti- cism ci the conduct of the enquiry now being condueioddn New York on _the sinking of the Vestris ap- peared in the editorial columns oi the Evening Star and the Evening Standard today. The Star contends that the NewYoi-k enquiry is being conducted not as an inquiry but "as a public prosecution and protests that itis “indecent to subject the reputation o! a= British ship ands British captain who is dead and cannot deiond himself to this mon- strous man-handling!’- The Stand- g ard says thstthc object seems to be "to bully the witnesses into contra- dictions oi themselves and one an- other and‘ entrap them into admis- slohs oi some not yet clearly de- fined crime." "In due course. no ubt," the‘ Standard concluded, "the truth will be discovered. A Board oi Trade enquiry will be held in England and to this all nautical opinion looks as" to an expert and unbiased authority. Bo il- was in the case oi the Titanic. So it will be now." -NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—_In an ex- clusive interview with Rueters here, three surviving members oi the crew of the ili-iltod Vestris, which sank ofi the Virginia coast Monday with a loss comm than p100 lives, statod- that the rllson the Vestris sank was‘ because thdnegroilre- men refused to keep up the steam in the boilers and Captain Carey did not send his 8.0.5.‘ sooner than he did. up to l p. m.
