new SEA SAFETY
RULES ARE TOLD
Representative Alexander
Discusses London Con-
ferences Work.
TO BE RATIFIED SOON
Regulations Formulated Announced
at University Club by American
Delegations Chairman.
TO BE RATIFIED SOON

Representative Joshua W. Alexander,
OF Missouri, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Merchant Marine, who was
p the International Conference of Safety
of Life at Sea, last night at the Uni
Versity Club gave the first authoritative
summary of the work of the London con-
vention, which adjourned last month.
Although 1t was agreed that the re-
port OF the conference should not be
given out until February Is, said Mr..
Alexander. he thought 1t best, on account
of the dissemination of much "misinfor-
nation" to make an accurate statement
of the proceedings.
The conference, which was a result of
agitation following the sinking of the
Titanic, and which was attended by rep-
resentatives of fourteen nations, had real
lied that nothing II could do would pre-
vent sea disasters in the future said Mr..
Alexander, but nevertheless had provided
for larger measure of safety by formu-
iating a set of rules which are much
M re rigid n their requirements than
twisting regulations Of any government.
He added that he is confident the nations
which participated will ratify the pro-
ceedings so that the new rules will 60 into
effect. as planned, on July 1, 1916.
Resume of Regulations.
In brief here are the sea-safety regu-
lations decided on by the international
conference:
That any government in the agree
ment has the right to inspect a foreign
vessel for seaworthiness and safety
equipment. This. said Mr.. Alexander,
was insisted upon by the American dele
cation under instructions from the State
Department, and was obtained only with
much difficulty, France and Germany be-
ing reluctant to permit their vessels to
be inspected In foreign ports.
The issuance Of an international certif-
cate to ocean-going vessels stating their
rating as TO safety equipment.
The establishment of sea patrol to
observe the movements of iceberss. ice
packs and derelicts. under control Of the
United States government.
That masters Of ships make regular and
immediate report Of such distractions
to navigation and the formulation Of a
special code to facilitate such reports
That ships slow down at night when
ice has been reported in or near their
tracks. or alter their course.

having a range OF at least 100 miles on
all passenger-carrying ships and a con-
tlnuous watch In the wireless room on

harm lies in giving semblance Of responsibility to
an organized movement which otherwise is thorough

interests closely allied with them-conspicuously all

woman suffrage has most to fear; they have supplied
the money, the political work, and the votes which
have defeated it in many States and will do so in
others. The Women's Ants Suffrage Association is

it. His is the type of mind that will reach favorable

Not only does the sledge propel
