ANOTHER REVISION
WILL Be MADE IN
L|FEBOAT SERVICE
Board of Supervising Inspec-
tors to Take Up Discus
sion Soon.

A second general revision of the
steamship lifeboat regulations, follow
ing the Titanic disaster, Is to be made
within few days by the executive COM
mittee Of the board of supervising in
spectors of the Federal steamship in
spection service.
Following closely upon the sinking Of
the Titanic and the loss of hundreds
through the lack of lifeboats and RATS.
the steamboat inspection service ordered
that all ocean-going steamships and
passenger carrying vessels on lake, bay,
and river in the United States or trad
ing with United States ports. carry suf-
ficient lifeboats and RATS to disembark
all passengers In case Of emergency.
This drastic action Is to be further
revised. and while no official announce
ment has been made, It will probably
be revision downward"
Inspector General George Uhler, Of
the steamboat inspection service and
head of the executive committee, said
today that the regulations were to be
discussed and revised at a meeting OF
the committee Friday. This revision
quire less, he said. 1t Is generally un-
derstood. however, that fewer boats will
be required on most classes Of steamers.
The rating will still be maintained on a
passenger and not on tonnage basis,
as was the case with the Titanic under
the British board of trade rules.
The principal topic FOR discussion by
number of boats or rarts will add to the
safety Of passengers. or whether In
some instances a smaller equipment
would not be sufficient.

by Committee.

Plans for continuing its work in i'm
proving the sanitary condition of the
city are being made today by the clean
city committee. The need of a refuse
collection twice a week was discussed
at a meeting in the board room of the
District Building yesterday afternoon. A
committee was appointed to discuss with
the Commissioners the institution of a
twice-a-week gathering of all refuse in
stead Of a weekly one as at present.
To lessen the nuisance caused by
garbage cans, which are one of the
principal breeding places of flies, Mrs.
z. G. Perry, of the Anthony Suffrage
League, suggested that the city pro-
vide paper bags to At inside the re-
ceptacles. The system is in use in
Boston and the advisa bility of its adop-
tion in Washington will be discussed

Announcement was made by DR.. Arthur

ELLIOTT
CONSIDERED WELL
FITTED FOR POST
Head of Apostolic Mission
House Has Long Expert
enCe as Executive.

When the Rev. Walter Elliott, c. s.
p, assumed his new position as head
of the Apostolic Mission House a few
days ago, succeeding the late Rev. AL
exander p. Doyle in that position, he
was not embarrassed by failing to un-
derstand any of the details of the work.
Although Father Elliott has never been
the head Of the Mission House before,
he was for eight years associated with
Father Doyle as professor in the
school, where he did some of the best
work of his long and productive career.
His assistance was important in en-
abling Father Doyle to found the
school He taught in 1t before the
building 1t now occupies was complet-
ed, and is thoroughly familiar with the
history of the institution and the pur-
poses for which II was founded.
Father Elliott is full of enthusiasm
for his new opportunity. He realizes
that the Mission House Is one of the
most important features in connection
with the Paulist order. His work Is to
train young priests how to present the
principles of the Catholic religion to
Protestants as attractively as possible.
1t is a finishing course in the strictest
sense of the phrase. No text books are
used, and but few of the theological
questions are discussed. The object Is
TO mt the young priest 10 tell What ne
has already learned to others, espe-
cially to Protestants.
Not only by his familiarity with the
work, but by his personality, culture,
and experience, is Father Elliott excep-
tionally fitted to carry forward the
work begun by Father Doyle. He is a
priest well passed middle age, but his
figure Is as erect and his voice as clear
as they were a quarter of century
ago.
a native Of Michigan, he was educat-
ed at Christian Brothers College In
Detroit and in Notre Dame University.
He practiced law a few years in De-
troit, but came in contact with some
of the men who were trying to found
the Paulist order and was impressed
with the purposes and plans Of the new
order. He Joined 1t in 1863 and has
since become one of the most influential
and able members of the order.
An exceptionally able speaker, an at
tractive personality, and a man who
puts his best efforts into whatever he
undertakes, those interested in the
Mission House have cause to be graft
fed at Father Elliott's appointment ae
| it's head.
