FOLLOW AMERICAN LEAD
FOR SECURITY AT SEA
London Shippers Find It Hard to
Suggest Remedy to Safeguard
Ships Against Fire.

LONDON, ,@z,yember 10.-Following the
lead of the American delegates to the
international conference for the greater
security of life and property at sea.
which opens here this week, the mer-
chant shipping advisory committee of
the board of trade has been conduct
ing an investigation into the question
of better protection against fire Oh
shipboard
The committee began it's work with
the admission that the present safe
guards are inadequate and inefficient.
but the members feel that it would be
difficult 10 suggest ii remedy.
\ short time ago the Liverpool I'm
derWriters' Association reported that
in spite of all efforts to ascertain the
reason for the outbreak of fires on
shipboard, very little progress has been
made During the past few weeks
several serious fires. including those
on board the Volturna and Templemore,
have been investigated.
Risks on Cargo Boats.
In the fires on cargo boats the CEN
ters of danger seem to have been the
coal bunkers. inflammable cargo and
electrical installations. Cotton is par
ticularly liable to take fire. Last year
there We're thirty-one outbreaks on
vessels laden with American cotton,
over 24000 bales being damaged by
fire and water.
The American delegates already in Lon
don held a session this morning to CON
slider d program they purpose submitting
to the British government. Subsequently
they went TO the American embassy TO
call on Ambassador Page.
The entire American commission is to
hold a further meeting Wednesday before
the conference conveneS.
The lord mayor of London has invited
all the delegates to dinner tomorrow.

Greatly Pleased With Verdict.

Washington Jews, who have been much
interested in the outcome of the trial of
young Beiliss We're overjoyed when in
formed today that the young man had
been acquitted. 1t was the consensus of
opinion that the trial will in all proba-
bilty be the last in which ritual muir
der is alleged against Jew in Russia,
as the people of Russia. have become en-
lightened to an extent that will make
such charges and trials impossible in the
future.
julius Peyser commenting on the favor
able verdict said THE outcome of the
Beiliss case is a triumph for fairness and
decency. Russia has achieved a miracle
i'm the fact that such a verdict, by a Rus
sian jury, has been possible. The ac-
quittal Of BeiliSs proves the correctness
of the theory that belief in the ritual
murder and the use OF human blood and
human sacrifices in Jewish ceremonies,
such as the Passover, is a hallucination
existing only in the minds of ignorant and
depraved people like the Russian peas
ants.
Astonished at the Verdict.
DR.. ]. Glushak expressed satisfaction
and aston.shment at the verdict.
The United states. he said, has had
much to do with bringing about this graft
flying result 1t is victory for the whole
civilized world over barbarlsin, and it
demonstrates the fact that the more in
tellectuai people of Russia are awakening
from their ignorance in regard to the
Jews and the Jewish religious observ-
ances to a point where the deterfnina-
ton of the government and the Russian
Church to persecute and TO say jews on
such charges as ritual murder and the
Offering of human sacrifices can no longer
be enforced.
Il look TOR the Beiliss trial to be the
last of such cases, and | am hopeful
that the favorable outcome of the trial
will result in the reopening OF other
ritual murder case in Russia. Austria
and other countries. where Jews nave
been imprisoned for Years on such
charges as Were made against Beiiiss.
Only Justice Done, He Says.
Isaac Cans said: I'm the acquittal Of
Mendei Beiliss justice only has been
done but ] am much pleased at the
verdict. The trial of the man was but
tnS outgropth of race prejudice, and
believe his ac4uittal viii tend toward
ending this prejudice.
There should be an educational cam
,.e.gn started in Russia TO aid III en-
tightening the Russian peasant. who is
~ by his prejudices. The higher classes
~ Russia are to large extent free or
l.4is prejudice and 1t is hoped that they
will unite with others in educating their
less fortunate countrymen, so that race
prejudice can be wiped out. This preJu
dice is hard to combat. but with proper
effort 1t Can be done. =

May Ask for Initial Appropriation

Ihat the request will be granted is
considered probable. In this event the
commissioners, when they appear before
the subcommittee of the House on Dis
trict appropriations to explain the esti-
mates, may ask to have inserted in the
budget an initial appropria ton for get
ting the big Improvement scheme under
way next year.
Assessor Richards. it is understood has
been asked TO submit an estimate as to
the bic cost of the undertaking His
task is not an easy one, as the bill is
drawn so that District taxpayers will be
required to bear the entire burden of
the cost.
The proposed legislation in fact, con
templates the District government enter
Ing the real estate business. 1t authorizes
the commissioners to condemn squares
run minor streets through them and sub
divide the ground remaining into lots to
be sold at auction to the highest bidders
Providing for the elimination of all the
city's slums within period of ten years
the measure also stipulates that one-tenth
of the buildings in alleys now used for
dwellings shall be demolished each year
As there said to be between 5000
and 1900 persons living in alleys in the
District of Columbia. the carryiu. out of
this provision will mean that more than
600 persons annually for the next ten
years will be required to move into more
