.L|FEB0AT EQUIPMENT
UNDER NEW REGULATION
Amendments to Requirements
of Vessels Prompted by
the Titanic Disaster.

The amendments to the regulations
OF the steamboat inspection service
regarding lifeboat equipment on steam
vessels. brought about by the accident
to the Titanic, have been sent out from
the Department Of Commerce and La
Dor to the steamboat inspectors
throughout the country for their guild
ance.
me new regulations were approved
by the Secretary June IA, and are eff
fective from July l next. Sections 6
to IA OF rule Of the general rules
and regulations governing the steam
boat inspection service are stricken

mittee OF the board of supervising in
spectors has been substituted.
Substitute Regulation.
Vessels are divided into six classes,
viz; Ocean. coastwise. lake. bay,
sound and river steamers The report
in part reads as follows:
All steamers. other than those car
rylng passengers. except as otherwise
hereinafter provided for. must be
equipped with sufficient lifeboats or
liferafts OF a capacity to accommodate
at one time all persons on board. One

FOUR APPEAR BEFORE
POLICE RETIRING BOARD
Sergt. Bryan and Policemen
MuIvey, Witt and Boswell
on Force Many Years.

Sergt. Raphael W. Bryan and Police
men James Mulvey. Lee R. Witt and
James S. Boswell were before the police
retiring board yesterday. They have been
members of the police force for lumber
of years. Sergt. Bryan and Policeman
Mulvey belonged to the White House
squad for a number Of years, the latter
having married White House employe
last year. Policeman Witt. who suffered
a stroke of paralysis few weeks ago,
was a member of the sixth precinct COM
mand, while Boswell, who is a negro.
has done duty in the eighth precinct.
1t Is said that the four men are physi-
cally unable to perform police duty. Maj.
Sylvester regrets that the pension fund is
in such shape that retired men are I'M
able to get their full allowance, but he
feels an injustice is done the force by
keeping on the rolls the names Of men
who are unable to perform duty.
Rests With Congress.
The question Of payment Of pensions
rests entirely with Congress. Last month
the fund was sufficient to pay about 80
per cent Of the sums allotted the pen
sioners. and many Of them are complain
ing that they are scarcely doie " SCI TIC
necessaries Of life.
It is possible that the Commissioners
will reduce some of the larger pensions
when they pass upon the report of the
committee that recently conducted the
biennial examination of the retired men,
bers of both the police and fire depart
ments. The committee inquired into the
finances Of the pensioners and learned
that some Of them are filling government
positions and drawing army pensions, in
addition to what they are getting from
the District pension fund, and in such
instances the Commissioners may order
reductions.
A few reductions In such pensions. it
is believed. will assist such pensioners as

On Lake, Bay and Sound.

"The equipment for lake, bay and sound
steamers Is similar to that Of coastwise
vessels, with the exception that they will
be required to be equipped with only such
liferafts and collapsible lifeboats as will
accommodate at any one time at least 30
per cent OF all persons on board, provid-
ed further that such steamers naviga ting
routes lying at all points within radius
of five miles from land, or over water
whose depth is not sufficient to entirely
submerge the vessel in case of disaster,
will during the period between May Is
and September Is be required to have a
lifesaving equipment capable to accom-
modate 10 per cent of all on board Three
fourths of such equipment may be in RATS
and collapsible lifeboats
River steamers carrying passengers
must have lifesaving equipment to ac-
commodate 10 per cent of all passengers
on board. and three-fourths of the equip
ment required may be of the approved
type before mentioned
1t is stated that nearly all the boats
employed in passenger traffic on the Po-
tomac now have the equipment required
by the new regulations and that the own
ers of those not so equipped will comply
with the law at once.

Covered by Masonry.
1t now transpires. however. that the
long missing stone is exactly where 1t
wall directly in front Of the entrance to
the house occupied by the keeper OF the
lighthouse at Jones point. The light
house at that point was built in 1855 and
a few years later a sea wall was built
around the base. The boundary stone
happened to be on the line Of that wall
and in the economy of the time was used
as part of the structure. The result was
that it was completely covered by the
placed in front of 1t to enable the light
house keeper to get down to the beach
from his dwelling.
For great many years the fact that
the marker was within the wall was not
generally known, but in 1854 the army
engineers engaged in triangulation work
in that vicinity found a mark on the wall
which was supposed to indicate the loca-
ton of the boundary stone. But no alb
solute verification of that belief was OBJ
tanned until few days ago. when the en-
gineers engaged in filling in Battery Cove,
nearby. with material dredged from the
river channel. took down a section of the
we'll at the point indicated and found the
long-lost stone.
About a Foot Square.
1t was about two feet back from the
face of the wall. which is built at the
foot of a small hill. and about eighteen
inches from the top of the wall. Like
the other boundary stones, 1t is about
one foot square and two feet high with
pyramidal top. Being of soft sandstone
1t has become somewhat disintegrated.
especially at the edges. through the
ravages of time and the original in
scriptions are completely obliterated. 1t
has retained Its general conformation,
however. and is in fairly good condition.
Col. Langfitt. the engineer officer in
charge. has given orders that the stone
shall not be disturbed. and has taken
steps to secure its preservation intact.
Inasmuch as the removed section of sea
wall has to be replaced without injury
to the historic marker. it has been de-
cided to inclose the marker In q box OF
concrete with an opening in front for
observation purposes. and another at the
top for triangulation work in making
of surveys.
