 Under the new system some naval stations on the South At. lantic coast and on the Pacific coast and the army statills in Alaska, where there are no com mercial stations, will be open for general business.
 The new law was framed shortly after the Titanic disas.. ter, and one of it's provisions gives a right of way for distres signals, as follows:
 "All stations are required to give absolute priority to signals and radiograms relating to ships in distress; to cease all sending on hearing a distress signal; and, except when en-. gagged in answering or aiding the ship in distress, to refrain from sending until all signals relating to the distress call are completed."

STEAMER
ORDERED ON DOCK
UNsEAwoRTHY CONDITION OF
VESSEL Is REPORTED BY
SAILORS.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3d. - Be.
cause the steamer George +. Halter, be-
longing to the North Alaska Salmon
Company, was considered unseaworthy
by Supervising Inspector John X. Bul.
ger, it is having its bottom caulked
in Hunters Point dfydock. That the
water was running in at its seams was
learned by the local board of United
States inspectors last Saturday when
the steamer put back from sea with
steam gauge blown out.
On reaching port John Lotus, James
Duffy and Charles o Connor, seamen
from PIG East street, dropped over the
side of the vessel and made their way
to the customhouse to report the con.
dition of the steamer. James Guthrie
and Joseph p. Dolan, local inspectors,
visited the steamer and ordered it into
the drydock. The skipper and man
ayers protested, although it is claimed
that it was making more than two feet
of water an hour, and took an appeal
to Supervising Inspector Bulger Ac.
cOmpanleu by Jne owners OF the boat,
Bulger went aboard the George +. Hal
Ter Sunday morning and confirmed the
findings of the local inspectors.
The only drydock available was the
one at Hunters Point, and as the vessel
was only 100 feet over all it looked like
a walnut shell in the big drydock. A
thorough examination showed that it
needed recaulking, although it had been
overhauled and pronounced seaworthy
before sailing. The steamer wintered
on the mud flats in the upper part of
the Oakland estuary.
That the first inspection of the
steamer was not satisfactory would
appear from the fact that it blew out
a steam gauge after reaching the open
sea and that the water poured through
the sides of the vessel. 1t carried a
full crew and men to work in the sal
mon cannery Supervising Inspector
Bulger was assisted by Inspector John
Ansell in examining the steamer. The
