Courts Recommendations.

The recommendations of the court are
as follows:
The board OF trade should investigate
the practicability of providing seagoing
ships. in addition to their watertight
transverse bulkheads, with a double
skin. carried above the water line. or with
longitudinal vertical watertight bulk
head on each side of the vessel, OF with
both The board of trade should also
investigate regarding the question OF pro-
viding watertight deck or decks.
stretching along the whole or part of the
length of the ship at a convenient dis
lance above the water line, and should
also investigate whether the openings
should be watertight doors or some other
device.
The board OF trade should also report
generally on the increasing protection
given by the subdivision of the vessel.
with the object of keeping the ship afioat
with the greatest proportion of her length
in free communication with the sea.
The court recommends that the British
Board of Trade be empowered to enforce
its conclusions on the foregoing points
and to require that the designs of ships
should be submitted to it during the early
stages of their construction and should
have. at the same time, power to direct
changes to be made.

Responses 10 the messages sent

ing any definite information as to the

The seriousness of the disaster was
realized by the officers within fifteen or
twenty minutes of the crash and proper
discipline had been main tanned. accord
Ing to the view Of the court. The ap-
paratus for lowering the boats was in
good order and the lowering had been
properly managed. but some OF the life
boats had been undermined and i'm
properly equipped. Eight of the boats
were not filled when they left the sink
ing vessel. because the passengers did
not realize their danger and the officers
who We're uncertain of the strength and
capacity OF the small boats had intended
to complete their loading after they were
launched. The disproportion of the pas
sengers of the different classes among
those saved was due to the fact that
many of those In the third class were
foreigners, and to the position OF their
quarters. There had in the courts opin-
ion been no discrimination.
Only small proportion Of the crew
had been saved, because the sailors at
tended to their duties until the last mo-
ment.

grounds for divorce against her husband,
but refrained from instituting proceed

Wanton Destruction of Famous
Painted Stucco Pavement.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
CAIRO, February Is. 1912.
News has been received here of the wan
ton destruction of the famous painted
stucco pavement at Tell-el-Amarna. The
pavement was discovered by Prof. Film
ders Petrie In 1891, while excavating on
the site of the city OF Ekhaton. which was
built in 1860 BIC. by King Akhenaton
as his new capital in place OF Thebes
when he abandoned the worship Of the
ancient gods for that OF the sun. With
the change in Re- uginn change in the
direction Of the realistic representation
of the subjects depicted took place in
art, and of this tendency the pavement.
which represents ponds with birds and
animals, is one of the best examples.
1t is believed the deed, which involves
the loss of u valuable monument in the
history of Egyptian art. was perpetrated
by a DISCHARGED Waterman. 1t is feared
the damage is irreparable, but since the
act, i'm the eyes Of the law is merely a
misdeneanor, punishment amounting to
only a few weeks Imprisonment can be
meted out to the deiinquents in such
cases.

SUBMITTED TO KAISER.
Plans for Imperial Opera House Of
Large Capacity in Berlin.
OF The Star,

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
BERLIN. February 10, 1912.
number of plans for a new imperial
opera house have been submitted to the
kaiser. who will be guided in his choice
by his desire that the theater should be
simple In design and not overloaded with
decoration within or without. The pres
ent opera house contains 1.sOO seats and
the new one is to provide for 100.
The kaiser. who holds that opera should
not be merely luxury for the rich, has
decided that the extra places in the new
house are to be sold at price which
persons of very moderate incomes can
afford.
1t will be remembered that the kaiser
has already shown his desire to popu-
larize opera by having free tickets dis
tributed among workmen.
