NEED Of AMENDED RULES
FOR NAVIGATION Of SEA
President Taft Believes Con-
gress Needs No Suggestion,
Since Titanic Disaster.

President TAFT will not send q special
message to Congress urging legislation to
strengthen the present laws regulating
supervision Of steamships clearing from
American ports. The President believes
Congress needs no such suggestion since
the Titanic disaster. Moreover, he is sat
isAed that the existing laws Of tho United
States are adequate II enforced, as the
Commerce and Labor Department would
be abie to enforce them with the restric-
tons Of present International agreements
Under agreement with Great Britain the
certificate Of the Titanic that she had met
with tho requirements Of the British
board Of trade as to life-saving equip
York. and the Titanic would have been
allowed to clear again for England.
New Agreement Probable.
The disaster; however. undoubtedly will
bring about new agreement between the
United States and Great Britain and with
other nations in the same class, in the
opinion Of officials here. An act Of Con-
gress nullifying the existing agreement
would make 1t impossible tor officials OF
the Department OF Commerce and Labor
to accept q certificate from any board of
trade or similar organization unless the
requirements Of this country were met as
we'll. Such action by Congress was re-
garded as probable here today.
Better Wireless Facilities Needed.
The governments inability to get early
information regarding the loss Of the
Titanic through the wireless outfits Of the
scout cruisers Chester and Salem or the
naval shore stations, has confirmed the
Navy Department in its decision to press
for legislation by Congress which will
enable the government to assert control
over all agencies. whether private or
corporate. which may seek to restrain
or interfere with the government officials
In such cases as this.

Favor City Heads Plan.

It is known that several members of
the committee favor the plap Of the
Commissioners for the abolition Of. the
contract system under which the Dis
trict's ashes. garbage and refuse are
handled. and the taking over Of the work
by the local government. There Is con-
siderable likelihood that this plan will be
considered at the meeting.
Four wagons. donated for the purpose,
today were sent out by DR.. Murray,
campaign secretary, to collect refuse re-
ported by the volunteer workers. An
equal number will be assigned to the
work tomorrow. So far It has not been
necessary to hire any teams. but 1t may
become necessary to incur expenses OF
this nature next week, as 1t II estimated
that 1t will take q week or longer to
have removed all the waste material re-
ported.
Not only have citizens generally ar
ranged for the removal Of refuse from
their private premises, as IL indicated by
the tons OF trash being hauled daily by
private teamsters to public and private
dumps In different sections Of the city,
but. In q number OF instances. provision
has been made for the removal Of waste
material which the campaign committee
expected to remeve.
