ing Secretary of Commerce. and Labor
McHarg has advised the collector Of GUS
toms Of that port that efforts will be
made to secure American vessels for the
Presidents inspection Of New Orleans
harbor and the lower Mississippi. Mr..
McHargs letter. dated today. follows:
THE department has received your let
ter of the 9th instant inquiring In behalf
of the entertainment committee whether
there would be objection to the use of
one or more foreign steamers to enable
the President Of the United States and
his party with delegates to the water
ways convention to spend three or four
hours October 30 in an inspection Of
the harbor Of New Orleans and the lower
Mississippi river. The department pre-
fers not to answer the legal question
until efforts have been made, for which
there is ample time, to secure American
vessels for the purpose.
1T is reluctant to believe that at our
principal gulf port American shipping has
so dwindled that to enable the President
Of the United States and a relatively
small body Of representative Americans
to spend a few hours on the greatest
American river with view to its I'm
provement, they must make the trip

breaches TO EXEMPT
FlREMEN'S ASSOCIATION.

The Rev. DR.. William Charles O'Don-

st. PauPs Methodist Episcopal Church
last night to thirty members of the
Exempt Firemen's Association of. New
ark, who attended the services in full
uniform. The veteran firemen marched
to the church headed by President
Charles L, McCraith and former Fire
Chief David Il. Benedict.
The Rev. DR.. O'Donnell took as his
subject THE Symbolism OF Fire" He
said in part:
I'VE have a city of marvellous Develop
ment and a city to which we can
point with pride. The greatest evidence
of development and the best inspiration
to the Inhabitants of the city is the
Exempt Firemen's Association. An or
ganization founded to perpetuate the
traditions of the department and car
ried on for benevolent and philan-
thropic purposes canno fail to make
the city bigger and better.
Newark has one of the best fire de-
partments in the country. not the big
gest, perhaps, but made up of men who
represent the finest of Americans. The
first qualification of a fireman is, nerve.
You are all mon of nerve or you
couldn't be exempt firemen or active
firemen either. Every day the fremen
goes forth to face the greatest peril
that can beset a city and this constant
facing of death can not fail but make
them good men, both spiritually and
mentally"
