REFORM HARSH CUSTOMS RULES,
Treasury Officials Decide to End Hu-
initiation of Travellers.

WashingtOn.-New customs inspec-
ton regulations, calculated to be a
boon to returning American tourists.
are being framed by direction of Sec
rotary of the Treasury COrtelyOu. IL
is hoped to have the plan in opera
ton August 10.
There is to be no elimination of the
requirement for the inspection of bag
gage, but the new rules will abrO-
gate the oath that now precedeS the
formal inspection, and which puts
the honest citizen in the position of
a suspected perjurer until his word
is proved true. 1t has been com
planned that this is an unnecessary
and unjustifiable humiliation. An
other reform will do away with the
general penning up of all the snug
glers, wouldbe smugglers and hon
est citizens before cynical customs Of
fiCialS.

SToEssEL SHOWN AS COWARD
Serious Charges Against Him and

Gen. Stoessel, the defender of Port
Arthur; Lieut.. Gen. Fock, who COM
manded the fourth east Siberian di-

and Lieut.. Gen. Smirnoff, who proceed
ed Lieut.. Gen. Sroessel in command at
Port Arthur, was made public here to-
day. These officers are being tried
by Court-martial on charges of cow
ardice and treason. The indictments
set forth that Stoessel and Fock delib-
erately sent false reports of battles
that never occurred, recommended
their own friends and generals who had
lost battles for decorations and sur
rendered Port Arthur fortress in spite
of the fact that they had at hand am
pie means for resistance. All the
crimes with which Stoessel, Reiss
and FOck are charged are capital Of

BELL UNDER THE SEA
NOVEL WARNING TO SHIPS OF
APPROACHING PERIL.
Electricity Conveyed by Cable From
the Shore Operates Mechanism
Sound Travels Five or Ten
Miles Through Water.

WashingtOn.-A novel method to
inform ship captains of the approach
of their vessels to the danger zone
has been perfected in connection with
the use of the system of submarine
bell signals in places where the bell
cannot be placed on light ship or
lighthouse.
The electric bell is hung from a
tripod set on the bottom of the sea
at the edge of the shoal at the re-
CURED point and this bell is struck
by a mechanism operated by a cur
rent of electricity conveyed through
a cable from the signal station on
shore. Such a station at Point Aller-
ton, Mass, and another at the en-
trance to Halifax harbor are operated
with cables more than two miles long.
The bell strikes any code that is
desired and the sound travels through
the water, so that vessels from five to
ten miles away hear it, and get direc-
tons accurately in fog or at night
when equipped with a receiving appa'
ratus.
