RICH AND POOR ALIKE
CAUGHT IN RIVER NET
Yacht of Joseph Widener
Among n Instances of Viola
tions of Navigation Laws.

! Mllionalres and poor persons alike felt
the stern hand OF the federal laws when
| a motorboat and launch parties were
overhauled by government agents In a
| fast launch and fined for violations Of
the river navigation laws. Among those
whe were penallzed for lack Of life pre-
servers was Joseph Wldener. His launch,
the Josephine, was overtaken on the
upper Delaware River yesterday.
Mr. widener was not on board but the
men in charge will be fined for not hav-
ing a copy OF the pilots rules and for
carrying an insufficient number OF life
preservers. The maximum fine is 800.
Lewis II. Carrif, a member OF the New
Jersey Legislature, also was fined, as
was the Du Pont Powder Company, be-
cause of its motorboat which runs from
Carney's Point to wilmington. Seven
other large Philadelphia concerns that
had boats on the river were confronted
and will be fined.
SQUADS PATROL STREAMS
The search for violators of the statutes
. is being conducted by Surveyor Kurtz,
Deputy Surveyor Burns and Chief In
spector Colonel Ross, with several squads
Of men. They patrol the streams in the
motorboats Jennie s. and the Lille
Surveyor Kurtz declares he will con-
tinue his activities until all infractions OF
the laws have ceased He asserts that
owners OF craft have had ample notifica-
tion OF the intention of enforcing the
regulations and that In the future fines
will not be so light as in the past.
Night inspections have been in
augurated, and the Governments boats
are patroling after dark, looking for
those who insist in motoring without the
required lights. Owners who anchor or
buoy their boats without displaying tho
necessary lights also will be subject to
fines.
Most OF the officials of the larger mo-
torboat clubs are backing the Govern
ments crusades. 1t was at their re-
guest that the present laws were passed
to protect life and property.
