missioners of Navigation power to
take the initiative in investigating
collisions on the Delaware Bay and

pilots are involved, was unanimously
indorsed yesterday by public meet
ing at the commissioners headquar-

ment arose over the fact that the
commissioners would be powerless TO
investigate a Delaware licensed pilot

diction. However the sentiment was
expressed that the passage OF such a
law here would influence that State
to pass one like It.
II was pointed out that under the
present law a vessel agent. consigned
or master could demand and secure a
Pennsylvania pilot on entering or
leaving this port Knowing that he
would be guaranteed some protection
