Committee CHARLES CARROLL,Committee GORDON DEXTER,Committee GEO. HIGGINSON.The N. Y. Times says of the report of Supt. Damrell on the boat-house accident :-"There is no attempt made in this report to fix the responsibility on any person or persons, but simply to state the physical causes which brought about the accident, and to show how such accidents may be avoided in the future. It was at first intended to examine at length into the question of responsibility, but after much deliberation on the part of those interested this was given up. The reasons for this abandonment were, first, the difficulty in finding any responsible person who would devote the necessary time to a prolonged inquiry, and who would be willing to run the risk of involving himself in possible controversial or legal complications; secondly, the impossibility of compelling the attendance of witnesses and of taking testimony under oath, and finally the probably barren result to be obtained by such an inquiry."
