LORD MERSEY.

LORD MERSEY
which have efficient water tight COM
partments to the satisfaction Of the
board of trade" a sad mockery in the
case Of the Titanic. 1t is laid down
plainly that there must be at least
n life belt for each person on board.
But a life belt is a very slender protec-
ton to a man on the Atlantic, and it
would probably take him so long to
swim out of range Of the vast suction
Of such a vessel as the Titanic that it
would be useless in an emergency. 1t
ought, in fact, to be the first rule in
vessels Of this class. as it is the rule
for inferior vessels. that the boats on
each side of the ship shall be sufficient
to accommodate all persons on board"
Since an inquiry can extend to all
the causes involving the loss of the
vessel and the court has the ample
powers of a magistrate to compel per-
ms to give evidence the law is suf6-
cient.
Save by censure or suggestion the
court itself has no power except over
those who by misbehavior or breaking
rules have directly conduced to the
loss of the vessel. In the case of the
Titanic the captain. faithful unto
death. is beyond any human punish
ment or censure. and it may be that,
assuming ships may lawfully proceed
full steam ahead, although dangerous
icebergs are near, the accident was in
evitable. If so it will be for parlia-
ment to consider whether further leg
islation is necessary to prevent such
catastrophes and also to ask on what
principle the board Of trade allowed a
vessel to sail with the certainty that if
it foundered the great majority of peo-
| pie or board would be drowned.
In the case Of the Titanic inquiry it
was decided that a higher authority
than a magistrate should preside. This
resulted in the selection of Sir John
Bigham CLord Mersey).
Lord Mersey was born on Aug. 3,
1910, the son Of John Bigham. a prom
inent merchant Of Liverpool. He was
educated at the Liverpool institute and
was admitted to the bar in 1870. He
became president Of the probate d.
vorce and admiralty division Of the
high court, serving one year. he was
knighted when the judgeship was con-
ferred upon him.

Money Making In Wall Street.

The real money makers Of Wall

1t Is just as easy to buy stocks from Il

is to buy them from a peddler. One

England's
Titanic
Inquiry

N England such inquiries rs that
now being conducted into the I'll.
tanic disaster take place under
powers conferred by the mer-
chant shipping acts and are regulated
partly by those acts and partly By
rules of various authorities made un-
der them.
The first business of such a court Of
inquiry, in S Of an accident to a
ship, is to find whether all the rules
for safety have been observed and
whether the accident has come about
by reason of the negligence or miscon-
duct of any officer or seaman.
The rules as to such inquiries are
made by the lord chancellor under one
section of the act of 1894. The board
Of trade rules as to safety are made
under another in a different part of
the act. When the latter rules were
formulated in 1902, under the auspices
of Gerald Balfour, the giant ships of
the present day We're by NJ means in
conceivable. and a table carefully
graduated to 10000 tons and then
stopping abruptly did not show much
foresight.
Under these rules it is somewhat
difficult for a. %nonexpert to work, out
the minimum requirements. In the
table sixteen boats of not less than
$500 cubic feet capacity are required
for the largest vessels, and since, by
another rule. one person may be car
ried for every ten cubic feet, this only
provides for $50 people. But if there
are more people there must be addi'
tional boats. though only up to Is per
cent, and this is qualified for boats

ONE OF THE MAcEDoN1AN's GUNS.

ONE OF THE 6UNS,
States by Captain Stephen Decatur.
That memorable engagement was
fought on Sunday morning, Oct. 25.
The Macedonian suffered terribly in
every part during a combat Of almost
two hours. She received no less than
100 round shot in her hull alone. She
had nothing standing but her fore and
main masts and foreyard. All her
boats were rendered useless except
one. Of her officers and crew, 300 in
number, t~hirty-six were killed and six
ty-eight wounded.
The loss Of the United States was
only five killed and six wounded.
When he took possession of his prize
Decatur found her not fatally injured.
The Macedonian was placed in charge
of Lieutenant Alien. and captor and
captive sailed for port. Both vessels
made their way to New York. where
they arrived on Jan. 1. 1913.
Decatur's victory produced a pro-
found sensation in the United States.
Public bodies and the legislatures Of
Massachusetts, New York. Maryland,
Pennsylvania and Virginia gave him
thanks, and to these each of the two
latter added a sword. The city Of New
York voted him the freedom of the
city, gave him a banquet and request
ed his portrait for the picture gallery
in the city hall. The national con-
gress, by unanimous vote. thanked him
and gave him a splendid gold medal
with appropriate inscriptions.
From that time Decatur's name has
been the synonym Of honor and gal
lantry in the estimation of his country
men.
