TO ENFORCE NAVIGATION LAWS.
The Rule Requiring Graft TO Set Lights at
Night Must he Obeyed.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2O-Steps are to he
taken by the Government to prevent in
the future. in waters over which the United
States has jurisdiction, such accidents as
happened to the launch OF the battleship
Minnesota in Hampton Roads some weeks
ago when a dozen or 80 midshipmen and
sailors lost their lives. Inquiry developed
that the launch collided with a barge in
tow of tug and that it was probably first
overturned by the line running from the
tug to the barge. The supposition was
that on neither tug nor bar ge were lights
displayed. as required by the navigation
laws.
Recently complaints have been received
at the Navy Department and the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor to the effect
that in Hampton Roads and other navigable
waters tows are often seen at night without
lights. to the menace of life and property.
A specific instance Of fragrant violation of
the rule requiring craft 20 set lights al night
has just been reported to the Navy DeparI-
ment and by that Department referred to
the Department OF Commerce and Labor
the latter named Department being charged
with the duty Of enforcing the navigation
and steamboat inspection laws.
The matter was made the subject of a
conference to-day between Law wrence r.
Murray. acting Secretary of Commerce and
Labor, and Truman II. Newberry. acting
announcement was made that the rule pro-
viding that craft shall set lights at night
will in future be strictly enforced.
Steamboat inspection officers and the
customs authorities will be- instructed ac-
cordingly. Where masters are found vio-
lating the rules they will be fined. and il the
circumstances warrant their licenses will
be revoked.
