row ON OYER PILOT CHARTS
Marine Insurance Men Protest at
Weather Bureau Making Them.
Hydrogra pliers Deny MOOre's Aids
Furnish 90 Per Cent of the
Information.

Trouble which has been brewing be
tween the Weather Bureau and the Hy-
geographic Bureau since 1898 eliminated
yesterday when the House AppropTla-
tiOns Committee received a petition signed
by all the marine insurance companies
doing business I'm the city Of New York
protesting against the work Of preparing
the governments monthly pilot charts
being done in the Weather Bureau.
The Weather Bureau has recently asked
that Congress grant it exclusive authority
10 compile all pilot charts, their desire
being based on the claim of Chief Moore
that they are supplying the photographic
Office with 80 per cent Of the information
from which the pilot charts are made.
This, Commander Knapp. Of the navy, re-

the photographic Office has many
branches in the various ports of the
United States, and that seldom a day
passes but that valuable information is
turned into these Offices by commanders
of vessels coming into port. Icebergs,
shoals, derelicts, and other detriments to
navigation are so reported, Commander
Knapp declares.
Both Commander Knapp and Chief
Moore have been appearing before the
House Appropriations Committee. trying
TO straighten out the question Of who
really does do most of the work Of pre-
pairing the charts. Chief Moore testifies
that the government is now spending
twice as much money as necessary to
set out the charts. the Weather Bureau
furnishing meteorological data, and the
photographic Office pilot" data. both
charts containing practically the same
information.
The committee before whom the hear
ings are being held is holding the ques-
tiOn under advisement. Jealousy between
the two bureaus is said to have ex-
listed for some time, and in 1898 a board
appointed by the President defined the
duties of both bureaus. apparently to the
satisfaction Of neither When the
Weather Bureau asked Congress to give
ii charge Of the pilot charts, the result
was deluge Of protests from mariners
all over the country. The petition from
the insurance men received yesterday is
causing the committee some anxiety be-
cause OF the possibility that their action
may affect marine insurance rates.
