GREATER SAFETY ON OCEAN
TITANIC DISASTERS SEQUEL
Anniversary of Water Tragedy Which Cost 1917 Lives
Finds More Rigorous Regulations

NEW YORK, April 14.-Today Is the
second anniversary of the Titanic
disaster-the greatest ocean tragedy
that the world has ever known. the
disaster came to the "unsinkable'
vessel at Has p. m, Sunday, April
Ia, as she was racing westward on
her maiden trip to this port.
The generally accepted version IL
that the Titanic struck on the sharp
edge of an iceberg and that the spur
ripped open her side, the thrush of
water putting out her fires, rendering
her pumps useless and sending the
huge liner to the bottom, drowning
1,517 of her passengers and crew.
II was that horror that brought
about the recent International Con-
ference on Safety at Sea and the
enactment of more stringent laws
tending to greater safety. Among
these are rules requiring a larger
number of lifeboats and another
which provides that two wireless
operators must be carried and that
one must be on duty at every hour
of the day and night.
There is another mandatory provi-
sion that at certain intervals all COM
mercial and other messages must
cease and all receivers be kept open
for the reception Of any distress sig.

gagged in international or colonial
voyages, whether steamers or sailing
vessels and whether carrying passen-
gers or not must be equipped with
wireless if they have on board fifty
persons or more, except where the
| number is increased owing to causes
| beyond the masters control. The
contracting states, however, have tile
! discretion to make suitable eXemp-
tions in certain cases the most in-
portant of which is in connection
with vessels which in the course OF
their voyages do not go more than
$50 miles from the nearest land.
The master of ship in distress Is
to have the right to call for assist
ance from among such vessels as
have answered his distress signal.
After he has chosen the ones he
thinks are best able to render assist
ance, the other vessels may proceed
on their way.
The conference laid down a rule
that there must be accommodations
in lifeboats or their equivalent for
| all persons on board a ship. 1t was
further provided that there must be
certain number of members of the
crew who are competent to handle
boats or crafts.
1t was Immediately after the I'll
tanic disaster and long before the
conference had convened that the
United States Steamboat Inspection
Service adopted regulations of its
own in regard to boats. While these
were being drawn hundreds of in
ventors submitted designs for new
types of hfe-saving apparatus. Many
were worthless, but some We're founl
to be good. The most important OF
these We're covered lifeboats and
power lifeboats equipped with wire,
less. which have been tested satisfac-
torily.
On it's own initiative and without
waiting for the recommendation OF
the Conference on Sea Safety, this
government sent out it's revenue cut
ters to patrol in the zone of ice
bergs.

C0nyicts Watched Pursuers
from House Adjoining Jail

BRIDGETON, April 4.-Much of
the mystery that surrounded the
complete disappearance of Thomas
Connolly and Charles Haight. known
as the pink Shirt Twins" after they
escaped from the Cumberland county
Jail here last December, was reopened
for the first time since last fall. The
house adjoins the Jail and overlooks
part of 1t.
1t is now apparent that when Con-
molly and Haight made their break
for liberty in the darkness of the
early morning they slipped back of
the Jail and over into the Hustled
house, which they had learned to be
unoccupied. Here they remained for
two or three days, all the while hav-
ing a perfect view of the officers
making the search for them.

about love.

a long walk on the beach-in the OPP

of course. Toward dusk we returned
to the schooner and had dinner, and
after that 1 went into my cabin to
see how Bo was getting on.
She flew at me like a cat, and if
hadn't jerked my foot back she must
have bitten me. AS it was, her teeth
tore piece out of my trousers. I'm
afraid kicked her. Anyway 1 heard
her land with crash in a far corner.
l struck a match and lighted candles
very warily-one eye on Bo. She
had retreated under a chair, and look
ed out-very suIlen and angry. l sat
down and began to talk to her.
She hated me, and after a time l
got bored. 1 threw a pillow on the
floor for her to sleep on, and left her.
Well, the minute the door was shut
and locked she began to sob. So
went back-and talked to her as nice
ly and soothingly as l could.
Now 1 don't like little creatures

it was by the scuff of the neck. She
had to face me then, and l saw that

were perfectly dry. That struck me

covered that they had no tear-ducts.

her teeth to show.

looked in. Then l reached for a can

AS an extra precaution in case of

for the breast pocket-a lancet,

Don on a leash, shotgun loaded,
and both pockets of my jacket full of
