w ould Cost More.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. April 22.-Capt
lnman Sealoy, who was commander of
the steamer Republic when she WAS
rumr!ed by the Floridu, would make con-
gress responsible for the lives of travellers
on the ocean. Captain Sealby Is stu
dent in the University OF Michigan.
Il believe that by way OF reducing the
possibility OF such tremendous disasters
as that which overlook the Titanic" said
Captain Sealoy, Increased lifcboat facill
Ties should be added Ia the passenger
steamers, and that water tight bulkheads
should be constructed as strong the
hull Itself.
IL would recommend. first that the
commanders OF the north Atlantic steam
ers be ordered by their owners To 20
south Of the ice track and always TO
travol slowly in a fog. Any infringement
of this should be met with instant dis
missal,
Second, the government should hold
the owners Of ships responsible In seeing
that the orders are carried out to the let
ter at all times. any failure of which
would result In the withdrawal OF their
passenger carrying license,
Third the people OF the country should
hold their representatives In congress re-
sponsIble liable for the ship owners
carrying out these provisions, failing
which the representatives should be COM
PEELED TO resign their seats
The structural alterations OF steamers
and carrying out OF the requirements 3
would mean additional cost To ship own
