APPEALS TO THE DEPARTMENT
Skipper Claims He Had Not Had Time

That Government Boat Violated the
Law, Too.

Collector of Customs J. L. b.

hauled the launch run by Captain
Jewett as it was running out from the
pleasure pier to a barge anchored in
the stream, with the small boat be-
longing TO the barge in tow. shortly
after sunset with no lights showing.
Captain Jewett and the men on
board his launch claim that at the
time the custom house launch arrived
alongside their boat that the govern
ment boat was also violating the law.
as one of the side lights on the gov
ernment boat was not lighted.
The skipper has also made a pro-
test against the assessment of the fine
on account OF the fact that at the time
he was overhaaled by the collector it
was but two or three minutes after
sunset and he had not had time to
light the lights on board his launch.
The matter has been referred to the
department of Commerce and Labor
for settlement.
