WANTS FOREIGN SHIPS
ADMITTED IMMEDIATELY
Standard Oil, U. S. Steel, and United
Fruit Steamers Waiting Presidents
Action, Saws Official.

Edwin F. Sweet, Acting Secretary Of
Commerce, has forwarded a letter to
President Wilson urging immediate action
under authority OF the law just approved
that empowers the President to suspend
the restrictions that have obtained here
tofore in the matter of the admission OF
foreign-built or foreign-owned ships to
American registry.
Secretary Sweet is anxious for early
action in order that more than a hundred
vessels operated by the Standard Oil
Company, the United States Steel Cor
poration. and the United Fruit Company
may transfer to the American flag with
out further delay. The steel corporation
and the fruit company already have in
dicated a purpose to apply for American
registry. Unofficial advices are to the
effect that the Standard Oil Company
and the Dollar Line, which operates ships
on the Pacific Coast, will do likewise.
officials here expect that President VIII
son will issue an order today or tomor-
row suspending the requirements that
have heretofore operated against the ad-
mission Of foreign ships to American reg
istry.
Authorities here say no protest will be
made by any of the belligerent nations
to the transfer OF steel corporation,
fruit company. and Standard OIL ves-
sells to the American flag. For economic
and other reasons the companies named
have found it advantageous to operate
ships under foreign registry. To comply
with the laws of other nations the YES
sells OF the American companies named
are nominally held by foreign corpora
tions.

DROWNING SHOWS NEED
OF PROTECTING BOYS
Anacos6ans Are Trying to Prevent
Bathing in Eastern Branch as Re-
suit of Youths Death.

The drowning Of George Narrower,
fourteen years old, in Eastern Branch,
at the foot of Naylor road Sunday, again
has revived the efforts TO have adopted
some police regulation that would pro-
hibit boys from bathing in this stream
1t is apparent that because Of the large
number Of boys who have lost their lives
during the past year, and since the work
Of reclaiming the flats has been in prog
ress. that the river is not a safe~place
for the boys to bathe. The drowning of
Narrower was caused by the dangerous
conditions which existed at that point
because of the large sewer construction
work being done there in connection with
the reclamation work. 1t also has brought
to the front again the question of pro-
viding suitable bathing pools in the re-
claimed area where the boys might enjoy
this sport without endangering their lives.
There will be no Masonic meetings in
Anacostia this week, according to an
nouncement Of the officers of the various
bodies, but when the meetings are re-
sumed in September many interesting
programs will be arranged.
Property owners along Nichols avenue
between the bridge and Sheridan road
are becoming anxious in regard to the
recent bill passed by Congress providing
that street resurfacing work is charged
against abutting property, because an
Appropriation is now available, and plans
are being made definitely for the i'm
provement OF this avenue with asphalt.
Congress appropriated a specific sum for
this work and those optimistic owners
believe that the fund will be sufficient to
accomplish the entire work, thus elimi-
mating the necessity of assessing the
property owners. The matter will be
discussed thoroughly when the Anacostia
Citizens Association meets in September
and referred to the authorities for their
consideration.
