RULING ON LIFE PRESERvERs
Those on Motor Boats Not for Hire
Require No Stamp.

A decision OF the Department OF Com
merce and Labor regarding life preserv-
ers for motor boats. rendered upon
queries sent the department by Collector
Of Customs Stone Of Baltimore. makes
clear a much disputed point, and is OF
interest to motor boat owners and opera
tors. The department In it's letter to Mr..
Stone. says:
ION motor boats not for hire the law
does not require the stamp of the in
spectors Of steam vessels to be on the
life preservers as long as they are of a
standard make. But section 5 Of the
Revised Statutes. passed June Q. 1910
provides that motor boats carrying pas
sengers for hire shall carry one life pre-
server Of the sort prescribed by the regu-
lations Of the board OF supervising in
spectors for every passenger carried. No
life preserver can be used on the vessel
until it has been tested. approved and
stamped by an inspector OF the steam
boat inspection service"

A dozen school girls of different nation

When the cyclone had departed shrieks

MORE LARGE CRUISERS
NEEDED BY GERMANY
Experts Criticise Program
Which Has Been Adopted
by Government.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
BERLIN, June 81. 1911.
The resolution in favor of building more
large cruisers than are provided for in
the naval program of 1908. which was
passed by the German Navy League al
its annual meeting at Nuremberg. is
finding support on many hands.
The naval expert of the Hamburger
Nachrichten points out that IN accord
ance with the navy acts the thiriy-eight
battleships and twenty large cruisers
for which they provide must be renewed
twenty years from the date on which the
first instalment for their construction
was voted. This means that from the
year 1918 three new ironclads will an
nualiy replace the vessels that become
antiauated. From 1912 to 1917. however,
he adds, only one battleshp and one
large cruiser annually are provided for,
and according to the program the six
cruisers. kaiserin Augusta, Hertha, Vi
meta, Victoria Luise. Freya and Hansa.
are to be replaced by modern vessels.
Would Reduce the Time.
The Navy League demands that the
time allotted for the replacement of these
six vessels shall be reduced from SIX to
three years. The expert declares that
Germany possesses only two armored
cruisers that are really capable of full
filing the tasks required of modern
large cruiser. namely, the Butcher and the
Won der Tam, and he contends that cir
cumstances demand the replacement of
the vessels of the Hertha class by those
of the type of the Won der Tam. He
considers that the appeal made by the
Navy League is, therefore, absolutely
justified.
The Berlin correspondent of the Frank
furter Zeitung explains that the increased
expenditure that would be entaied by
acceding to the demand of the Navy
League could not be covered except by
having recourse TO loans

ARGUE SUIT OF PRINCESS.
Speeches Of Counsel Made in Action
Against Belgium.

BRUSSELS. June 2

BRUSSELS. June q, 1911.
After twenty-five sittings. spread over
more than a month. the speeches Of coun-
eel In the action brought by Princess
Louise against the Belgian government
TO enforce her claim against the late
King Leopold's estate have been con-
cluded.
The gist OF the arguments brought for
ward by the defense was that Princess
Louise had failed to differentiate between
King Leopold as sovereign and King
Leopold as a private individual that the
late king had always intended that the
wealth Of the Kongo should beneft Bel
GUM alone. and finally. that the plain
til had failed to produce any proofs In
support of her case.
Some time Is expected to elapse before
Ndgment Is delivered.

is with regard to the training of his

riding near his majesty when the caval-

The men removed their hats and the

thusiasm of their gallop, had not followed
his example.
He Immediately called a halt, took the
princes back to the workmen and or
dered them to remove their hats. This
was. of course, done, and the royal boys
are not likely TO forget their duty in this
respect again.

vain. They have now organized a
somewhat original form of strike
They have declined to pay the walters
the customary tip until the drinks are
reduced in price. In consequence the
walters have now threatened to strike
unless the cafe keepers give way to the
demands OF the customers.

Report Has Little Effect.

The government report on cotton failed

ter than a week ago Upon the COM
pletion Of the London selling, which
amounted to 10000 shares. prices hard
ened a slight fraction, but the demand
was largely from the short interest.
Except for the Erie issues, which re-
ceived stanch support. the market was
weak during the forenoon. The decline
in London gave heavy tone to the
opening. which the market seemed to be
unable to throw off. The intense heat
and the approach of holiday kept away
operators. and trading was dull after
the first few minutes.
Reports Of further damage to crops
from the heat and the decision against
the Lehigh Valley in the coal rate case
exercised a depressing effect. Declines
