Investigation ordered into Manauense transport scandal
Secretary of War Root ordered a rigid inquiry into the transport Manauense after a costly Manila voyage. The case involves suspicious transactions, only 213 lifeboat seats for 420 aboard, and a total government expense of $98,000 for the trip. The ship, built in Glasgow, sails British flags and is owned by T. T. Edwards with American agents in San Francisco.
