LINER'S CREW
INTOXICATION CHARGES
SAN FRANCISCO, January 7.
Subpoenas have been served on 170 members of the crew of the liner President Hoover to determine the truth of charges of intoxication and disorI derly conduct made when they arrived ,in the President McKinley.
Their spokesman said: "We were not drunk, because the only liquor was in the possession of the ship's doctor and no liquor was available to the crew."
Several passengers from the President Hoover, which was stranded on a reef at Hoishoto Island, near Formosa, complained that a dozen members of the crew entered the ship's bar and became intoxicated while the passengers were ashore at Hoishoto, and that they then came ashore singing boisterously. The remainder of the crew, however, effectively performed their duties.
