Washington, Dec. 27-The deplorable
loss of life resulting from the wreck Of
the British steamship Ariosto near
Cape Hatteras on Christmas morning
has called fresh attention to the ef-
forts repeatedly made by the Life Saw
ing Bureau of the Treasury Depart
ment to put navigating officers of YES
sells in possession of all the informa-
tion at hand having for it's object the
saving Of life in cases of this kind.
The following warning bearing on this
subject is printed in italics at the be-
ginning of descriptions of life saving
stations:
Masters are particularly cautioned,
If they are driven ashore anywhere in
the neighborhOod of the stations, and
especially on any of the sandy coasts
where there is not much danger of YES
sells breaking up Immediately to re-
main on board until assistance arrives
and under no circumstances should
they attempt to land through the surf
in their own boats until the last hope
of assistance from the shore has van
ished.
superintendent Kimball Of the life
saving service, in speaking of the
Ariosto disaster, said
Il firmly believe that, II the crew OF
the Ariosto had waited until the
breaches buoy had been put into work
ing order, all the crew Of the vessel
would have been saved. This is shown
by the fact that after it was in opera.
tion it was used with excellent effect
resulting in the rescue of nine OF the
crew. The life saving service is
strenuous in its efforts to assist in
every way possible the lives of those
who suffer shipwreck on our coasts
and the reports that are constantly re
ceived show the good work that is be
ing done In practicing our crews havI
thrown the hawser by which thu
breeches buoy is taken aboard the shil
a distance OF 695 yards, or over 200
feet, while in cases OF shipwreck
has been fired a distance OF 200 feet
The reports say the Ariosto was abou
600 feet from the shore when shl
struck, and, had the men only beeI
patient and waited until the line hai
been thrown. all could have been res
cued In addition to the shore work
the regulations provide that all Ameri
man steamers shall carry life lines an
guns for firing them, thus providing
for a means for communicating with tn
shore This is especially desirable an
eificacious when the sea is rough an
when difficulty is experienced in reach
ing vessels from the shore owing t
high winds and for other reasons. Mari
ners are also provided with a set G
instructions to be followed in cases Q
shipwreck, which provide for co-opera
tion with the crews of the life savin
stations"

IMPORTANT RULING.


The Treasury Department has
made an important ruling on the
failure of attorneys, searchers OF
records, property owners and others
to attach the revenue stamps to
legal documents when they are
made out. According to the ruling
a penalty Of not less than $5 will be
imposed upon the holders of all
papers unless the war stamps are at
tached at the time of making out the
instruments. Deputy Collector Prick
says that many people are in the
habit of letting the instruments go
for over a year without attaching the
war stamps. Now if deed or any
legal instrument IL discovered with
out a stamp and the paper was made
out last year penalty double the
tax and the tax collected, with inter
est at the rate of 6 per cent.
For instance should paper be
discovered which was made out last
July on which tax of $40 was due,
$50 rlus the interest would be ex-
acted by the collector.
