Masters of Ocean and Coastwise
Ships Bound BY New Regulation.

Masters of ocean and coastwlse

the cargo matches of their vessels are
properly secured before they proceed
to sea or stand the chance of having
their licenses suspended or revoked,
under the terms Of new regulation

masters were required to have the
matches battened down "as soon as
practicable" after leaving port. 1t was
the opinion of the steamboat inspection
officials that this allowed too much dis
cretion to the masters.
The new regulation contains details
as to how the matches should be Sc
cured. For vessels on lakes, sounds
and rivers the new regulation provides
that the master must see that they are
closed before leaving port only when

BALLOT FOR RESIDENTS
OF THE CAPITAL URGED
President Colladay of Citizens Fed
Grafton Thinks Sentiment
Is Growing.
One Of Speakers at Meeting of the
Connecticut Avenue As
ISOLATION.

Franchise for the citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia was advocated by Ed
ward F. Colladay. president of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations, speak
ing before the Connecticut Avenue Citi-
zens' Association last night. President
Colladay proposed the enactment by
Congress of a constitutional amend
ment. enabling the exercise of the right
to vote at presidential elections, and
for the election of two senators and
the number of representatives in the
House which would properly be appor-
toned
Arthur E. Dowell, a member of the
association, during the business dis
cussion, again suggested that the
proper station for the old frigate Con-
stitution, now a Charlestown navy yard,
is Washington. On his motion, COM
mittee was named to wait upon the Sec
rotary of the Navy to urge that the ia
nous fighting ship of the old American
navy be brought here. The committee
appointed consisted of Mr.. Dowell, Col
George A. Armes and Prof. E. Swayely.
More Pay for Janitors.
A 40 per cent increase in the salaries
paid to janitors of public schools was
proposed in a resolution presented be-
fore the meeting. The matter was re-
ferred for consideration and report to
the committee on schools.
Release of a part of the territory
over which the Connecticut Avenue
Citizens Association claims juriSdic-
ton as within its boundary was asked
by the Pinehurst Citizens Association.
The advisa bility of the requested ces-
sion was referred to the executive COM
mittee.
Carl C. Muller was admitted to mem
bership. The president of the associa-
| ton. Alfred T. Gage, occupied the chair
during the meeting.
MIR. Colladay, in advocating franchise
for the citizens of the District of Co
lumbia. declared that public opinion in
Washington is rapidly molding in ia
vor of the vote. The project is being
| seriously considered by many infuen-
| tial citizens and members of Congress,
he said.
He found nothing in the proposition
Inconsistent with the fupdamenta |
| theory that Congress shaft exercise ex-
elusive control over the seat of gov
eminent. He made the observation
that the anomalous condition of taxa
| ton without representation that now
prevails in the District of Columbia
would be eliminated by exercise of the
franchise.
Achievements Of Federation.
The Importance OF the Federation of
Citizens Associations as a medium for
expression of organized public opinion
was indicated by President Colladay
He enumerated the accomplishments
resulting through the exercise of this
power and influence.
A new Calvert street bridge over
Rock creek, he said, Is sadly needed.
He also proposed the erection of an
leight-room addition to the Eliza beth V.
Brown School, which he regards as
greatly overcrowded. with an enroll
ment of 444 pupils.
| The artistic development of the
suburbs of Washington was another
suggestion made by Mr.. Colladay for
the consideration of interested citizens
| organizations. He urged the Connect

Il will tell you, son, there was a big
row on at headquarters over these bur

sent out and the entire force together
