MORE CAUTION URGED
Navigation Commissioners Says
Shippers Are Careless

Greater caution in the handling of
steam schooners running on the coast
was urged in a communication received
yesterday by Collector of the Port
Stratton from Commissioner of Navi-
cation Chamberlain at Washington,
D. c.. Commissioner Chamberlain
urged that the masters of the coasting
sehooners live up to the letter of the
international understanding relative to
coast vessels sailing in foggy weather
According to the communication the
shippers on the coast have become
neglectful of the law.
Word was received yesterday by the
collector of the port that the deputy
collector at Port Hartford had not the
power to issue papers to masters. In
the future all such transactions will
be made through the local Office. In
the past the deputy at the southern
port has had this power, granted
through Collector Stratton, and which
was an aid to shippers. as a change
in papers means a delay of several
days where the local office had to be
communicated with. The order came
from Commissioner of Navigation
Chamberlain of washington. ID. C.
Findings in the investigation of the
collision between the steamers Asun-
cion and Norwood in thick fog Octo-
Der s, four miles off Point Gorda were
handed down yesterday by Inspector
Bolles. John /. Martin and Z. Enstrom
mate of the Norwood were exonerated
from all blame. E. Larson, chief Off
Ger of the Asuncion, was found guilty
of violating the international rule per-
tanning to running full speed in fog
and had his license suspended for 60
days.
J. NJ Lane, master OF the steamer
Roma, which went on the rocks at
Pillar point last month. was yesterday
exonerated by the board of inquiry. 1t
was found that 1t was no fault of the
IL Orh
steamer belonged to the Standard oil
conpanY.

Lighter Drifts Ashore
A lighter belonging to the Crowley
launch company broke adrift from the
steamer washcalore yesterday and went
ashore about two miles below the Cliff
house site The Washcalore had taken
the barge to Pescadero to be used in
carving grain from the shore to the
steamer The weather was too rough
to permit this, and the Washcalore was
on its way back when the towline
parted in a heavy sea, and the lighter
drifted to destruction.
