NO BOATS ON THE RIVER
YET FOUND DELINQUENT
Vessels Boarded From the
Apache to Ascertain if Law
Has Been Observed.

Boats and launches lying in the Po-
tomac river are being boarded daily by
details from the revenue cutter Apache
now berthed at the lighthouse service
pier, foot Of o street southwest. The
business Of the Apache at this port is to
see that every boat and launch carries the
proper papers and has the necessary
equipment Of the articles made obligatory
by the laws Of navigation. So far not a
delinquent vessel has been found.
The Apache has been in the river since
last Thursday. having been cruising for
several weeks in Chesapeake bay and
tributaries overhauling the sailing, steam
and motor craft in the inspection of
equipment and papers. 1t is stated that
the commanding officer has several viola
tons to report to the customs houses.
boats being found in the bay that need
attention.
Owners of river craft are interested in
the letter from the Department of Com
merce and Labor to Collector Stone of
Baltimore, in which it is stated that
motor boats Of classes two and three
must carry lights of fresnel or fluted
glass after July /. The letter was sent in
answer to a request for construction of
the law of 1910. over which there has
been much discussion, and says:
Requesting a construction of that por-
ton of the act of June 3, 1870 which re-
1uires that glasses or lenses of light to
be carried on certain motor boats shall
on and after July ! next be fresnel or
futed, 1t is the opinion Of the department
that all lights required by paragraph r
Of section 3 OF the act OF June 8. 1910, to
be carried on motor boats Of classes two
and three, shall have fresnel or huted
glasses or lenses
..The requirement. OF inboard screens
applies only to the side of colored lights
on motor boats Of classes two and three.
Owing to the large number Of vessels
affected and in view of the fact that the
law concerning fresnel or luted glasses
goes into effect July /, it is desired that
the greatest publicity possible be given
this decision for the benefit OF motor boat
owners and operators

INDUSTRIAL SHOW

idea of holding an Industrial show in
North Dakota, in an endeavor to have
an absolutely complete display and ex.
hibit of all esources-industrial and
otherWise-Of the state, SO that the
outside world may have an opportu
nifty to see and know why North Da-
kota has developed into one Of the
greatest agricultural states in the
Union.
In order that the reader may CLEAN
some idea Of the size and scope of
this exposition, attention is directed
TO the fact that more than $4,000
will be expended in premiums and
the geseral expense of conducting the
exposition. Every branch of the farm.
ing industry will be recognized anu
every resource of the state will b.
portrayed. In addition to the extern
sive exhibits there will be demonstra-
tions of the very latest improved ma
CLIucIyS luclO " III w llpCClOSIu6 anu
instructive lectures and several days
Of farm institute work; there will be
a wide range Of entertainment for the
visitors at the exposition building, ana
in addition to this the city of Bis
marck, through its commercial club,
is preparing to entertain extensively
during the entire twenty days Of the
exposition. A great white way OF
electrical illumination will be install
ed; there will be civic and Industrial
parades, free street acts and carnival
features, ball games, automobile
races and minor sports.
The railroads Of the state, realiz-
ing the benefits to be derived from an
exposition such as planned for North
Dakota, have offered to transport free
OF charge, all exhibits and premiums,
and will do much toward giving pub
LEFTY to the event and making the ex-
position a thorough success. Leading
manufacturers, wholesalers and job
bers OF the northwest have been lib
eral indeed in premium donations; In
addition to the vast array Of manufae-
