MENACE TO SHIPPING.
Ambiguity of Lights Cause n
Mrecks, saYs Can't. Berry.

That the many wrecks on Cape Hat
teras, n. c., are due TO a bad arrange
ment of lights is the assertion made by
Capt. John q. Berry, OF the United
States Revenue Cutter Service. in a re-
port which reached Capt. Commandant
Bertholf yesterday.
Capt. Berry says thai the wrecks are
caused by the ambiguity of the Cape
Lookout light and the Lookout Shoals
light ship. The lighthouse is on Cape
Lookout on the actual shore, while the
light ship is anchored out to sea at the
outer edge Of the Lookout Shoals 1t is
the confusion caused by these two lights
which is responsible for the loss OF a
large amount Of property and many
lives, and Capt. Berry, by implication
accuses the government Of neglect re-
garding the matter.
Within the last thirty Gays, according
to Capt. Berry's report, three large
steamers. totaling more than ten thou
sand tonnage, have gone on the rocks
at Lookout shoals as a result OF the
placing Of the lights. The steamers are
the Thistleroy. the Trebia and the Brier-
ton, all British. Capt. Berry also be-
lieves that the United States torpedo
boat destroyer Warrington was thrown
of her course by the ambiguity OF the
lights. An investigation probably will be
ordered by the Secretary Of the Treasury
as a sequel to Capt BerTy's unusual re-
port

DR.. Nitobe's Address.


DIR. Nitobe's Address.
DIR. Inazo Nitobe, the celebrated Japan
ese author, and president of the Imperial
University, Of Tokyo, spoke Of Japan's
work as a civilizing power.
Mrs. John Hays Hammond spoke brief
ly on work of charity and the uplifting
of the poor and illiterate class
DIR. Bell, the toastmaster, in making
his opening address, spoke Of the unprec-
edented prosperity Of the society, saying
that in all the history of the world there
had never been such as cientific society
with such large membership as the So
eiety Of which he is the past president.
He deplored, however, that no one had
as yet seen proper to come forward and
endow the society in order to place 1t in
such a position as to enable it to carry
out its work unhampered and successful
ly as it has been mapped out
He spoke in glowing terms Of the mag
azine of the society, and in saying that
II was equivalent TO the Outlook and
our outlook ls good brought forth
great burst Of applause. DR.. Bell said
that the magazine had been wonderfully
improved; that subjects of timely interest
are being discussed by experts, not only
with words but also in pictures. In
speaking OF the popularity of the lee
tures which the society is giving, the
westminster Sald that tnere is not a nail
big enough in the city of Washington to
accommodate the crowds which throng TO
the lectures, but that they are compelled
to give two lectures, one in the after
noon and one in the evening, to give
Everybody an opportunity to see and hear.

BALTIMoREANs ON STAND.
Hearing on Port DInerentIaIa Be-
fore Commerce Commission.

fore Commerce COmmiEsIon.
A hearing as to port differentials be-
tween Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
and Baltimore was continued yesterday
by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The claim OF New York manufacturers
that the port diffeTentiaI there should be
taken off was attacked by Oscar F.
Lackey, president of the harbor board of
Baltimore. He said that under existing
conditions New York controls IS per cent
of the import trade. Baltimore, he said
had facilities to do twice the amount of
business it is now doing, and that more
than $4,000, 900 was being spent and would
be spent within five years by the city,
railroads, and private interests in dock
and pier improvements.
The testimony of A. f. Beck, traffic
manager Of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association Of Baltimore. was
along similar lines, though for the most
part it was based on statistics showing
the tonnage of Baltimore as compared
with New York and other ports.

a thriving factory town giving employ
ment to many persons. The falls are util-
lied for various power purposes. includ-
ing the lighting of the town. The Oris-
kany Creek. a little above the town, runs
through the corner of one farm and Is
now made to do teamwork. A small dam
is thrown across a portion Of the creek.
and a small power-house Is built at the
side of the lam to cover the turbine
wheel and the dynamo needed for Great
ing electric power for its various uses on
the farm. Wire connections are made to
the barns, and the home. a short dis
lance below the power-house. Is heated
by electricity. The COWS eat by electric
light and are MIXED by electric power.
