Obsolete British Laws.

NEW YORK, April 16. - Shipping
men in New York place responsibility
for the fearful loss of life in the
Titanic catastrophe upon the laxly ex-
ecuted shipping laws of England
The amazing discovery was made
today that, as far as the knowledge
of so well-informed a person as the
British consul general in New York
extends, Britain's shipping laws have
not been revised or the regulations
prescribing protection for life aboard
British ships have not been altered
to conform with modern ocean trans
portation since leviathans of the
Titanic type have been launched.
The only laws and regulations on
the subject are contained in the stat
ute known as the merchant shipping
act. At what date Parliament enacted
this mass of contradictory verbiage
into law could not be ascertained.

Hofloua question.
However with the smooth water
and the appearance from these die
patches that none OF the boats wer,
lost It appears that In this case II
was not n question OF insufficient mum
Der OF men, but insufficient number oil
boats. There evidently was sufficient
number OF men for the boats It did
| have.
"Testifying before the committee on
merchant marine and fisheries last
December / stated that as matter OF
fact there was not a passenger vessel
anoat that has a sufficient number OF
skilled men to handle those boats.
Refutes the Excuse.
Much has been said OF the diff
Guilty of keeping a sufficient number
of boats on the big liners. There is
nothing in that excuse.
THE real cause back Of the lack of
boats and men is in the law which
provides for limited liability i'm case of
wrecks. This law takes from ship
owners the old time responsibility to
the passenger and to the relatives of
the passenger
Another reason is in the present
insurance laws, which permit vessels
to be insured to their full value, thus
taking away from the ship owner the
real incentive to give close attention
to safety at sea.
Owners Take Chances.
The public is told about vessels
that will not sing nor burn Seamen
know that this IS romance. But sea
men do not determine either the
equipment or manning of vessel
Those things are determined by the
ship owner, who in competition with
others is driven to take chances that
ought not be taken and that end as
in the case of the Titanic.
Laws compelling the steamship
companies to have sufficient number
of boats and sufficient number of
skilled men to handle each boat would
do much to prevent these frequently
recurring disasters and in the case
of the Titanic it would have saved all
the lives on the ship"
Question of Boats.
LONDON, April 16.-The question
Of hA Og tod l,,r
steamers has been discussed here at
length recently. 1t appears that the
Board of Trade regulations permit a
reduction by half in the number of
boats, RATS and buoyant apparatus
carried when the ship is provided with
air tight compartments; but this con-
cession does not apply to life jackets
and similar apparatus
According to some experts it would
be impossible to carry a sufficient
number of boats to accommodate all
on board the mammoth liners, or if
carried that it would be next to i'm
1t cannot be doubted, however that
Che disaster to the Titanic will lead
to strict inquiry into this matter
and revision of regulations.
This question has been under Ais-
cussion for some time by the advis-
DRY committee, composed of promi-
nent ship owners and the Board of
Trade committee and certain recon-
mendations have been prepared which
have not yet been made public
The Titanic was fitted with electri-
cally controlled watev tight compart-
ments. Those should have been i'm

less, as is surmised, the collision so
damaged the electrical apparatus as

age marks. Leave 1t alone If you will
be beautiful. Dissolve ounces of spur

inc. This is the finest skin whitener
and beautifier imaginable, and for re-

Miss Essie: Even though your hair is
thin, dull, straggly, split and broken
through improper shampooing, you can

Of the one upon which court decision
has been reached.
Mr.. Grilis claims that according to
the newly found boundary post the
railroad company has encroached upon
his property within a few inches OF 70
feet and that the new saloon building
is wholly upon his land. On the other
hand, 1t Is claimed by local representa-
tives Of the railroad company that only
so much land was taken over as is
specified in the deeds of transfer.
Therefore the matter will be again
taken to court and Mr.. Grills declared
Tuesday that he would insist on trial
of the case by jury. He AYERS in the
words of Davy Crockett that he 10 sure
he is right and is going ahead.
The voluntary citizens committee is
considering the matter with interest
and Of course can see in advance the
final outcome. The committee Is not
quite decided whether the new building
will become the property of Grills, as
the chief Of the citizens committee has
declared. upon his Interpretation Of
law, that the building will not go to
Grills, as the ground was not opened
for the building of foundation, but
that the structure was built upon tim
bers placed upon the surface OF the
ground.
Attorney Harry B. AeaYd. counsel
for Mr.. Grills, stated that he would
notify the proper officials Of the rail-
road company that there was en-
croachment upon the land Of Mr.. Grills
