and directing the committee on judiciary TO
inquire into the extent of such illegal prac-
tice. Adopted. The house then went into

Representative Turner to-day introduced
preamble and joint resolution for the bet
ter protection of human life on the Allan
tic ocean. II calls attention TO the recent
accident TO the City of Paris. II says the
rivalry between competing lines of steam

and even humanity are often lost sight Of,
and holds that better protection 10 human
life and property can be afforded by sys-
tenn of ocean patrol than by any other
means. Such system of ocean patrol must
necessarily be maintained by different ma
