to investigate the laws which are supposed
to provide for the safety Of passengers on
steamboats,. especially on excursion boats
where the prime causes Of danger are the
overcrowding and the himsy and highly
infiammable character OF the superstrnct-
ures. Very truly yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
The report consists Of al xty!two pages in
print and map. Half the space IL devoted
to the Steamboat Inspection Service. II
shows that the supervising inspector ar O.
the two inspectors OF hulls and boilers
virtually left all the work to the eighteen
assistants. exercising but little real super
vision. The reinspection showed that 70 36
per cent. OF the excursion craft we're de-
fioient in hose and 80 per cent In life pre-
servers, though the hazard to lie on those
craft IL greatest.
The inspectors it was found, carried out
their duties IN an unsatisfactory way, even
upon their own Interpretation Of the stat
utes, which was in fact misinterpretation.
New men were scarcely ever instructed In
their duties; their inspection Of hose and
apparatus was merely visual, and 90 per
cent. OF the hose on some vessels was found
upon renspection TO be defective.
The Slocrim," it ia stated, was no more
dangerous than scores OF other steamers
still carrying passengers in the port OF New
York and hundreds Of similar vessels else
where. The SloctIm was not alb
normal, but typical. The COM
mission would therefore strongly recon-
mend the creation OF special commission
of experts to consider fully the subject of
the construction Of steamboats,, including
ocean steamers, and make full report and
recommendations thereon"
The statutes and regulations regarding
life preservers and hose are found wholly
deficient. The present law also makes it
difficilt to fix responsibility or to bring
home criminal liability.
The commission recommends. also, that
uniformed watchmen and deckhands he
posted on excursion steamers in numbers
proport iOnate to the crowds. Inspectors
should have the power to see that bad
vessels or appliances be destroyed, even
after they condemn them, and to revoke IL
censes The force of inspectors must be
increased at once and the salary system,
| which is a sort OF piece work arrangement,

recommended

PassiOnist Fathers ExhOrtinE single women
Not to Abandon Hope.

The Passionist Fathers Of st. Michael's
Monastery. Hoboken, began, yesterday,
a three weeks mission in ST. Stephens
Church, Henry street, Brooklyn. The first
week will be devoted to married women,
the second to single women and the third
to men, married and single. The order
is paying especial attention to the single
women OF the parishes exhorting them to
get married and never to give up hope
on account OF the age limit
One OF the fathers said "The reason
We devote a whole week to the unmarried
women and none to the single men Is be-
cause we feel that much OF the preliminary
work OF the married state rests with the
woman. She should be taught to realize
this, and we are going to do our best to show
her the necessary responsibilities and how
To shoulder them with the pleasure and
bliss attendant upon a happy and God
blessed marriage"

MINNEAPOLIS GETS
STATE TOURNAMENT
Minnesota BOWERS VIII Hold
Their Annual Contest in
MIL City.

The annual tournament of the Min
nesota State Bowling association will
be held in Minneapolis this year. The
tournament was awarded to Minneapo-
lis by the executive committee of the
association, which held a meeting yes
terday afternoon at the Windsor hotel
in st. Paul.
The dates decided upon by the COM
mittee are March 2S, 29, 80 and 81, and
the games will be bowled on the Co
operative bowling alleys, the proprie-
tors of those alleys having submitted
what the committee considered the
most favorable offer.
In consideration of selecting the CO.
operative alleys, the association is to
be given $50 in cash and is to be per-
mitted to charge an admission fee to
the games. The money received from
the sale of admission tickets and that
donated by the alley owners will, it
is expected, amount to more than $3.50,
which will be used in defraying the
expenses of the tournament.
Last year the tournament cost some
thing more than $500, but it is the
intention of the association to offer
more liberal prizes this year, and the
aggregate expenses will be in the
neighborhood of $1,000.
The members Of the executive COM
mittee, at their meeting yesterday, con-
WINGED themselves that all the money
necessary would be forthcoming. and
the prospects for a successful tourna-
ment are very encouraging.
1t is announced that thirty or forty
teams will enter into the contests, half
of which number will come from towns
outside the Twin Cities and Stillwa-
ter.
Aside from awarding the tourna-
ment to Minneapolis, the executive
committee named a number of COM
mittees to look after the success of
the tournament. These committees
are made up as follows:
