FOR ADDED SAFETY AT SEA
Board of Trade Committee Pre-
sents Findings.
tBy Cable to The Tribune. J

London. Aug 16.-A sequel to the
Titanic disaster is found in the report
Of the Merchants Shipping Advisory
Committee TO the Board OF Trade,
issued last night. This report is the
result of many weeks OF deliberation.
and gives the committees opinion and
recommendations upon the statutory
regulations as TO boats and upon the
question Of lifesaving at sea generally.
The main feature Of the report is the
Endorsement Of the doctrine Of boats
for all as recommended by Lord Mer-
sey's Titanic report. The Titanic dis
aster. IL IS admitted. creates a new
situation which is TO be met by an in
creased buoyancy OF the vessels and
the construction. as far as is possible,
Of unsuitable ships.
The committee states that the disaster
demonstrated the extraordinary difficulty
experienced by ships carrying large num-
bers Of passengers Of utilizing TO their
full capacity. even In calm weather. the
boats already provided. and declares that
the security OF tue passengers IS Ueol AT
taned by the adoption OF all possible pre-
cautions 70 insure the buoyancy OF the
vessel after a casualty and by securing
the most efficient means OF communicating
with the shore or with other vessels.
The gross tonnage OF vessels. In the
opinion OF the committee. should continue
10 form the basis OF the number OF boats
carried under the davits II being imprac-
ticable 70 make the number OF persons
carried the standard for such boats. To
this is added the recommendation that
the existing scale for additional boats and
life raft accommodation should be varied
by substituting for a percentage OF the
calculated tonnage the principle Of car
rying the capacity of the boats provided
under the davits, and that the additional
RATS collapsibe boats, etc, be sufficient
10 accommodate all the passengers and
crew aboard.
The committee recommends that the
regulation against undue speed be extend
ed TO include a provision for moderate
speed at night and when in the presence
OF known ice. The use OF binoculars for
lookout men Is considered inadvisable.

Washington, Aug. I5.-Evidence thus

MacMaster. American Vice-Consul At
Cartagena. Colombia. was murdered. ac-
cordlng to messages received BY the De-
paTtment Of State to-day.
The Colombian government will have
time 70 make an inquiry into the mystery
Of Mr. MacMasters death before any
action is taken by this government, al
though the consular agents OF the United
states are now making an Investigation.
Consul MacMaster was found dead in the

on Monday the theory being thai he was
Killed on Sunday. Early dispatches ex-
pressed the supposition that his death
was que 10 an accident while ne was
hunting but subsequent advIces indicate
that lie was victim Of foul play.
Mr.. MacMaster owned a ranch about
ten miles from Cartagena. and il is as
sumed that he was killed in that vicinity.

among the natives because OF the diff
Guilty IN which he was involved about
two years ago as result Of his killing
a native VINO attempted 70 assassinate
him. He was acquitted OF a charge Of
murder after two trials, Lut the case
aroused much enmlty against him.
Advices received to-day from American
Consul Kemper do not state In positive
terms that Consul MacMaster was muir
dered. but recite that there is strong cir
cumstantial evidence. There is no clew
10 the supposed murderer or murderers.
and there seems 10 be much mystery over
the affair.
Inough OF American parentage. he was
actually born In Colombia and was
looked upon by the natives OF Cartagena
as practically of their own blood rather
than a foreigner Perhaps that fact and
the familiarity which il bred caused
Mr.. Ma Master TO enjoy less prestige and

sentative

President Taft has won his fight. so
far as the seven-year tenure for civn
service employees is concerned. The
Appropriations Committee will redraft
the legislative bill, emitting the section
which struck a blow at the classified
service. The present intention OF the
committee, however. is TO make one
more effort TO force through the section
abolishing the Commerce Court
Firm Against Commerce Court.
II the Senate consents. the revised
bill when returned TO the White House
will retain the section abolishing the
court In the event Of a second Presi-
Dental veto, which would be practi-
cally certain, Mr.. Fitzgerald believes
the House will override il. provided
there is no seven-year tenure provision
TO embarrass the straight-out Com
merce Court issue.
Il am confident the House would
have overridden the veto to-day If the
bill had been disapproved by the Presi-
dent solely because OF the Commerce
Court section" said Mr.. Fitzgerald.
ION this hypothesis the House leaders
have determined to eliminate in the
new bill the seven-year tenure clause.

Court.
Before the vote was taken to-day
Representative Stephens. a Nebraska
Democrat. introduced a resolution pro-
viding for the passage OF any vetoed
measure by a majority vote instead OF
the two-thirds vote Of both houses now
required.
Mr.. Stephens declared Mr.. Taft had
used the veto power more than il had
been used in the first half century Of
the nations history. He added that
the President of France had no veto
power. and that while the King OF
England enjoyed the privilege he had
