OCEAN TRAFFIC REFORM
MEASURES TO COME UP
Senate Committee to Consider
Bills Probably Next
Thursday.

Legislation to carry out the reforms
in ocean traffic whose necessity the
Titanic disaster has pointed out prob
ably will be considered at the regular
meeting of the Senate committee on
commerce next Thursday. A number of
bills are already before the committee,
and to these will be added the proposed
legislation which Senator Smith of
Michigan will present when he submits
his report on the committees investiga-
ton to the Senate next Tuesday.
The report requires no action by the
Senate, but the bill which he will intro
dLce will be referred back to the COM
merce committee The effort will be to
enact such legislation as will enable the
foreign governments to cooperate with
the United States for uniform methods OF
safeguarding ocean passenger traffic.
Members of the committee contend
that the worst feature of the whole af-
fair was the failure of the steamer
Californian to render assistance to the
greater liner, whose distress signals
were plainly observed on the Cali
fnrnian

The organization al the present time

Value of Military Training.

Another Interesting Point.

Another point that particularly has
interested the committee is the twenty
four and one half miles -an-hour speed
at which the Titanic was proceeding
in the face of warnings of icebergs
but in mitigation of this Senator Per-
kins Of California. who spent a long
time at sea, explained that the
smoothing down" of the new mech
anism led to a gradual increase and
that the vessel really could have at
tanned a top speed Of about twenty-six
miles.
The final report will content itself with
reference to ]. Bruce Ismay by the use
of excerpts from his testimony before the
subcommittee. 1t was first believed 1t
would be specifically criticised. but the
committee in it's discussion held close to
the evidence and the report will ignore
statements made outside of the record
that have not been corroborated by the
evidence, excluding for instance, the
charge that he directed Capt. Smith to
increase the Titanic's speed, which Mr..
1Smay denied.

GARAGE COLONIZATION
Adopt Proposed Building Reg
uIation Following a Pub
lie Hearing.

The District Commissioners today
adopted the proposed amendment to the
building regulations providing for the
colonization Of public garages. Their
action was taken following a hearing in
the boardroom of the Municipal building
this morning. at which arguments for
and against the proposition were ad-
vanced The regulation will go into
effect at once.
1t provides that in streets and alleys
where public garages already have law
fully been established, other garages of
similar class may be located within
thirty-five feet without the requirement
of consent of adjoining property owners.
The former regulation provided that the
consent of Is per cent of property own
ers within q radius of 200 feet Of the
proposed street garage was necessary,
while the establishment of an alley
garage called for the consent of two
thirds of the property owners within a
radius Of ninety feet.
Contends for Property Owners.
Among those who opposed the adop-
ton of the regulation at this mornings
hearing were Representative Ernest
w. Roberts Of Massachusetts, and r..
Ross Perry. The former declared that
property owners ought not to be de-
prived of the privilege of protesting
against the establishment Of an alleged
nuisance. Attorney Perry contended
that public garages should be con-
fined to the business section of the city
and not permitted to further encrOach
on the residential sections.
The adoption of the regulation was
urged by Attorney H. Prescott Galley,
who stated that it was in the interest
of business men and owners OF machines
that they have a convenient place in
which to store their cars.
Building Inspector Morris Hacker pro-
posed the regulation. 1t is the opinion
Of Mr.. Hacker that it will encourage the
Capitalization Of garages and prevent
their being scattered over all sections OF
the city,
