Steamboat Inspection Board
Working on Regulations for
Inland Waters.

The executive committee Of the United
States steamboat inspection service will
be engaged until some time next week in
formulating new rules for the guidance of
captains or managers of steamboats, or
steamer lines traversing the inland waters
of the United States.
The committee. which met here yester-
day, has received a large volume Of sug-
gestions, protests and similar correspond
ence from owners of steamboat lines.
and has listened to verbal protests from
number of captains as well as from at
torneys representing various lines.
Many of the protests were directed
against the enforcement Of rigid rule
providing for a certain number of life
boats or life RATS for steamboats, en-
gagged in the summer excursion traffic.
1t was pointed out that the danger of
serious accident to such craft Is very
small, and the owners have asked to be
permitted to carry. a smaller number of
boats in proportion to the number of
passengers carried, at least during the
summer season, An extension Of the ex-
cursion season was also asked. Under
the present rules the excurion season for
steamboats, plying inland waters ends in
September. and the boat owners want it
extended to October.
Sessions of the executive committee will
be held Monday and Tuesday, and it will
be late in the week before the new rules
will be ready for PRONUNCIATION.

I've been in the insane asylum was
the statement made this afternoon to

TARIFF ISSUE FOREMOST.
Candidates Will Speak Almost to the
Last Minute.

PORTLAND. Me-. September This
was the last working day of one of the
most bitterly contested state campaigns
waged in Maine in a presidential year for
generation. The two candidates for
governor, Frederick W. Plaisted, demo-
crat, who seeks a second term, and Will
liam T. Haines, his republican opponent,
arranged to continue speaking almost up
to the last minute.
Although the republicans and the pro-
gressives have state organization, the
leaders of these two parties are united in
support Of the republican state ticket
nominated at the primaries last June. The
issue between the republicans and the
democrats has been clearly defined, and
there have been no outward indica tions
of any discord among the republicans.
Since the progressives have not an inde-
pendent ticket in the field, it is felt in
Maine that the result of Mondays cleo
ton will not be awaited with such inter-
est as was the outcome of last Tuesdays
balloting in Vermont.
In Maine the campaign speakers on
both sides have discussed the tariff as the
issue of greatest Importance

TREASURY READY TO AID.
Will Assist Banks in Event of ANY
Money Stringency.

The Treasury Department. according to
a statement by Secretary Macveagh.
stands ready to assist the financial in
stitutions of the United States in the
event of any money stringency. such as
has been talked of as existing or immi-
nent in connection with the movement of
crops.
The Treasury Department, according to
Assistant Secretary Robert o. Bailey. is
in better condition at this moment to
give any required assistance than IL has
been for many months. Last year. for
tunately no aid was required while the
Treasury balance was at low ebb. This
year. when the aid may be needed. the
Treasury funds are in much better condi-
ton.
What aid, IL any. will be necessary. the
Treasury Department has not considered.
There are many millions in the Treasury
that would be available to swell the de-
posits of the government now with ma
tional banks. should the demand arise.

SHAFTS ARE DIRECTED
At HOSPITAL OFFICIALS
Criticised for Not Showing
More Interest in Nurses
Board.

Criticism of officials of hospitals in the
District Of Columbia for failure to show
greater interest in the work of the
nurses examining board is contained in
the annual report Of the board. which has
been submitted TO the District Commits
sioners.
The report states that the board last
April invited the superintendents OF
training schools and executive committees
of hospitals in the District of Columbia to
meet at the District building for friend
ly criticism of a uniform curriculum re-
Gently prepared by the board, but that
only four superintendents and one repre-
sentative Of board of managers were
present.
This would seem to show a lack of in
terest on the part of the committees and
superintendents, or a desire not to further
the work Of the examining board" states
the report.
Practical Teaching Lacking.
II is set forth in the communication to
the Commissioners that the discussion
and comparison of standards among
those schools represented at the confer
ence proved what already had been dis
closed by the examinations, that there is
a lack Of practical teaching in diet cook
ing and food values.
All nurses in the District of Columbia.
in order to appear on the list of regis
tered nurses, must undergo examination
by the nurses examining board. The num-
ber of graduate nurses approved by the
board, following examinations held dur
ing the fiscal year which ended June 30
last. was sixty-five.
The board consists of Miss Lily kanely,
president; Miss Katherine Douglas, sec
retary and treasurer; Miss Georgiana
Graham, Miss Myra l.. Drake and Miss
Sallie F. Melhorn.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS INQUIRY
WILL HEAR PIERPONT MORGAN

Further plans for the Senate commit
tees investigation of campaign funds are
to be laid at a conference late today be
tween Senator Pomerene and Chairman
Clapp.
The probable date OF j. Pierpont Nor
gan's appearance has not been deter
mined. 1t will depend upon Mr.. Morgan s
engagements and the committees pro-
cedure. Mr.. Morgan has been upon the
committees list Of witnesses since July.
when he waived service and told Chair
man Clapp he would come at almost any
time.
1t was the committees intention then
to question Mr.. Morgan about contribu-
tions to the presidential campaigns of 1904
and 1905. The investigation has been
broadened, however. by the Penrose-
acknowledgements controversy. and Mr..
Morgan's examination now is expected to
cover not only all campaigns from 1900
to 1912, but also an inquiry into any pos
sible connection between contributions
and legislation in Congress.
Andrew Carnegie and John d. Rookie

invite them. though William Rockefeller
Is to be called in connection with John
d. Archbold's recent testimony about an
alleged contribution of 100000 by the
Standard Oil Company to Mr.. Roosevelt S
fund in 1904 1t has not yet been de-
termined to call E. H. Gary or Henry c.
F'rick.
Expenditures for Roosevelt.
Ormsby McHarg, one of the Roosevelt
managers in the pre-convention cam
paign, has been asked to appear. The
committee wants to question him about
expenditures in behalf Of Col Roose-
velt's candidacy at the Chicago republi-
can convention.
Senator Clapp is determined to make
the inquiry as broad as possible. He
is determined to get facts. Altnougn
an ardent admirer of Col. Roosevelt, ne
will conduct the investigation without
regard to whom it may hit. That the
disclosures will be startling Is gener-
ally expected.
Connection With Legislation.
The investigation will be designed to
show whether any contributions have
been made with view to securing or
preventing certain legislation. and wheth-
er the enactment or prevention of any
laws haze been at all related to the CIV
ing of campaign funds.
Thus far the investigation has been
concerned chiefly with the presidential
funds of 1904 and 1908.
The testimony next month OF Col.
Roosevelt, George B. Cortelyou. William
Loeb, jr., and Cornelius N. Bliss, jr, is
expected to deal almost entirely with
what has been already brought out by
the committee.
The attempt to widen the investigation
will become apparent, 1t is expected,
through efforts to procure from William
R. Hearst, former Senator Chauncey De-
pew, John D. Archbold and others In
formation relating to contributions that
might have been part of a systematic
effort to influence legislation.
