SAILORS TO HAVE PASSPORTS.
Britain Makes New Regulation
Fearing German Spies.

Great Britain has issued new regu-
lation requiring masters and sailors on
neutral ships visiting British ports to
be provided with passports or identi-
fication papers and to present such
papers for registry if remaining more
than twenty-four hours in British
waters
Consul General Skinner, at Lon
don, has notified the State Department
of this new order. which was taken
to protect the British government
against the possibility OF German spies
on neutral vessels gathering valuable
information regarding the naval ves-
sells in British ports and of the de-
lenses.
At the suggestion of the State De-
partment the bureau of navigation of
the Department of Commerce is trying
to work out practical scheme for
compliance by United States ship
masters with this new British order,
which is 1t said may seriously en-
barrasS United States shipping IN
tereSts.
Until the act is in full force seamen
without Identification papers may be
granted temporary landing permits for
eral declares that United States sailors
will avoid trouble by providing them
selves with these papers before leaving
home ports.
A practical dlHCultE IN complying
with the new order lies in the fact that
large proportion of the crews of
American ships are neither native nor
naturaliZed American citizens and SO
are estopped from receiving passports
from the United States State Depart
ment Possibly they might obtain pass
ports from their own governments, but
the officials here. are trying to work
out some scheme for the acceptance of
Identification papers in lieu of pass
ports.

FIRST CLASH OCCURS
IN FEDERAL INQUIRY
Solicitor Thurman of Commerce De-
torney Sullivan Participate.

CHICAGO, July 30.-The first clash
today in the steamboat inspectors in
quily into the Eastland disaster c.
CURED when Michael Sullivan. assistant
states attorney, took up the questioning
of Inspector Reid of South Haven. Mich.
You don't ask fair questions Mr..
Thurman told MIR Sullivan. What you
ask about the right Of appeal from a
local inspector to the supervising in
spector is all in the United States stat
utes This man is not a lawyer"
IF this man. who had thousands OF
lives under his care. is moi familiar
with the common practice of the IN
spection bureau, we want to know 1t.
Mr.. Sullivan replied. and repeated MS
question whether the supervising in
spector could oVerrule the local steam
boat inspector
The supervising inspector has the
power to overrule the local man., re-
piled the witness.
How many times has that been
DONE" asked Mr. Sullivan.
Now give him a chance, inter-
rupted Mr. Thurman.
oh. he is well protected said the
assistant states attorney. In how
many instances have there been ap-
peals from your decision as an in
spector?" he asked the witness.
About four. / think, was Reid s
reply. I'VE were overruled in one case,
the decision is in allegiance in another
and we were sustained in two in
stances.
Reid then said that Mrs. Erickson
wanted her husband on the Ea stand SO
that he could live in St Joseph. Mich,
which was her home.

URGES SAFETY CANOE USE.

Boat Prevents Capsizing.

To the Editor OF re STAR:
In connection with the safety-on the

canoe be used that is very hard to turn

danger of canoeing in one that does not
have this advantage.
Such a canoe is known as a Sponsor
canoe" 1T has air chambers running
along the gunwales, and when the
canoe tips these air chambers touch
the water and prevent the canoe from
shipping water. a man weighing 100
or 40 pounds can sit on the gunWale
of one of these canoes and it will not
turn over or even ship water.
