RIGHT IS ESTABLISHED
Governments Power over All Vessels
Entering Gates Is Fully o.
noted by His
Decision.

Captain Roy Streckfus Of the
steamer Sidney was found guilty OF
improper conduct in the new govern
ment lock on August 2s, by Steam
boat Inspectors Rees v. Downs and
Joseph w. Kidney. The verdict was
received by Major M. Meigs .yester-
day AFTERNOON. Streckfus' license Is
revoked for sixty days.
The suspension of Captain Streck-
fus comes as the result of hearing
at the federal building last month be
fore the steamboat inspectors fol-
this district. The sentence estab
fishes the paramount rights of the
government officials over the boats
entering the government lock.
The case against Streckfus grew
out of an incident which occurred
when the Sidney entered the lock
/ last August. AS usual, line was
1 thrown out and the lcckma:tel's az
sistant started to tie 1t over certa>-
snubbing post. The mate of the boa
objected and ordered the man to at
4 ZACH IL 10 aUoLH6T post. his he re
fused to do, and the boats crew OF
| members of 1t. were said to have
charged the lock employee and forcib
ly changed the lines.
i Major M. Meigs upon report of Tin
Harrington, lockmaster, had the mate
put under arrest and fled an infor
1 nation against him. This was late
adjusted and the man released OF
bonds. The case was taken befor
the government inspectors for tn
district and hearing was instituted
Lockmaster Harrington in his ties
timony declared that one anchorag
was as good as another, and tina
boats were usually allowed to pic
out their own tying-up places unles
there was some reason for making
change.
The inspectors verdict establishe

employees. The governments me
