Washington, April 16.-Legis-
lation requiring all oceanliners
to be equipped with life-saving
apparatus is imperative and will
receive the attention of Congress.
This was made certain today by
Chairman Alexander, of the
House Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries.
It is an admitted fact that the
larger the liner, the less adequate
is the life saving apparatus car
ried. After steamers pass a GER
tain size, they carry life boats &C
cording to tonnage, and not &C
cording to passengers. This is
because for liner such as the Tt
tanic to carry enough boats to
hold all her passengers, would Sc
riously interfere with her deck
room.

SIX SISTERS. DO STUNTS
At THE NEW ORPHEUM


Another singular fact is that the
eight Young women resemble one an
other not only physically, but in talent
and ambition. Each one is gifted with
the spark of dramatic fire and musical
genius far above the ordinary.
As to the act it may be said that it
is considered by showmen to be the
only one of similar nature now before
the public. There are many musical"
acts. such as they are, and many sis
ter acts, but in none is there the COM
bination of beauty and talent mani
tested in the speciality of the six Kirk
smith sisters.
Their act is the very epitome of re-
finement. This is exemplified by the
fine taste with which the sartorial en-
Refreshments have been chosen. While
the gowns worn by the young women
are rich and beautiful they are at the
same time simple and not gaudy.
The Kirksmiths will offer FIVE or six
numbers. Several of4them are vocal.
