TROUBLE OF INSPECTORS
IN IDENTIFYING BOATS
Difficulty in Locating Motor Craft
Reported for Violating Law
Subject for Discussion.

Troubles experienced by government
inspectors in Identifying motor boats
which have been reported for violations
of the law are to be aired at confer
ence in the Office of Secretary Red
field of the Department of Commerce
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Pro-
posed legislation for registering and
numbering motor boats az is now done
with automobiles is also to be dis
cussed.
Motor boat associations as well as
motor boat manufacturers and owners
have been asked to attend the confer
ence so that every angle Of the ques-
ton may be gone over
For some years the navigation in
spectors have had trouble in Identify
ing this class of craft, after they were
once reported. Those in the boats when
found would give assumed names and
use other ruses for evading the law.
This practice has become so great. it
is declared. that legislation to correct
it is to be proposed at the next ses-
sion of Congress. Under the present
laws the department has no jurisdiction
over such craft further than to see that
they have aboard life preserver for
each person and means for extinguish-
ing gasoline fires.

They responded to that appeal to

view those who have nothing.
And some of them slightly smiling
picked up banners spread through

others fell into orderly line behind

marched to go but few feet and be
