FINE Is CANCELLED,
Department of Commerce Lifts Pen
atty Imposed on Steamboat Company

An appeal of the Potomac and Chesa-
peake Steamboat Company to the De-
partment of Commerce, from the ac-
ton Of the local board of steamboat
inspectors in causing a fine to be i'm
posed on the steamer Wakefield for
making a trip in waters outside Of
those allowed in her certificate Of in
spection, resulted in the reversal of
the inspectors and the cancellation Of
the fine.
About six weeks ago the inspectors
ordered the hauling out of the Wake
field SO that they could examine her
hull under water and the vessel was
sent to Newport News to be locked.
The local inspectors thereupon placed
a fine upon the steamer of $3.50 for
navigating on Chesapeake bay, when
her license confined her operations to
the Potomac river. C. H St. John,
general manager of the Potomac and
Chesapeake line. appealed from the
payment OF the fine on the ground
that it had long been the custom for
Washington owned steamers to go to
repair yards at Baltimore. Norfolk or
Newport News without having their
papers changed for the purpose, and
also because on the trip the Wakefield
had aboard no one except her crew.
The department day or two ago no
titled the local steamboat company that
its appeal had been sustained and the
fine RENTED.

sionaries will no doubt be supplied to

sionaries in several of the countries
where they cannot live properly Under
native conditions

sent some important questions con-
corning the different sanatoriums, the
establishment of training schools for
