j. 5. INSISTS ON
DUE POWER IN
SEA TREATY
Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.


LONDON. Jan, 12.-Senator j..
Hamilton Lewis, recently appointed
vice chairman Of the committee
which is drawing up a treaty to be
passed upon by the delegates to the
International Conference on Safety at
Sea, now in session in London, to-day
told the Hearst papers:
THE leaders of the conference now
realize for the first time that the
American delegation will not consent
to the placing of anything in the
treaty which would prevent the
United States from enforcing the full
powers of the treaty. 1t seems to be
the idea here that if a British cap
tain violates a provision of the treaty
while in an American port he is aa-
swerable to a British court only. My
| colleagues and myself have deter
mined to see that the treaty will be
| SO drawn that it will give the United
| States jurisdiction over all who evade
! Its provisions 1t looks now as though
there would be a fight before we gain
our point.
II believe that bright prospects are
| In store for the United States. The
| currency and tariff bills will be the
| means of putting the country on a
| basis of secure prosperity, which will
| be founded on actual development and
| not speculation. We now face an era
Of greater prosperity than we have
| enjoyed since the war between the
States.
81 watched with great interest the
| activities of Mr. Hearst during the
| Mendil Bells trial, and consider his
| work at Kieff one of the factors in the
gratifying result. In view of all Mr..
| Hearst has done in recent years, !
want to say that whatever differences
any man may have with the political
policies of Mr.. Hearst, they must all
be waived when it comes to the con-
sideration of him as a humanitarian.
In the cause of humanity to man and
justice to nations Mr.. Hearst has be-
come a world beEefactor."
