on the Island Of Islay, on the west
coast of Scotland, there is stationed,
at the Otter Rock, unique lightship.
1t Is unnamed; yet it can be relied
on to display the warning light to
guide the mariner on this dangerous
coast. It is a most ingeniously con.
structed vessel and the only one OF
Its kind. In its two steel tanks a
sufficient quantity of gas can be stored
to supply the lantern for several
months.
Experiments have shown that the
light may be depended upon to burn
continuously for months at a time.
The approximate duration of the light
can be predetermined, and there is no
danger whatever of its being extin.
guished by wind or spray.
The light is visible at a distance of
from eight to twelve miles. The light.
ship also has a bell, which is made
to ring automatically by means of an
ingenious device that utilizes the gas
as 1t passes from the tanks to the
lantern to work the bell clapper.

BOARD ON
IMPROVEMENT
OF WATERWAYS

Promoters of waterway improve
ment here as well as elsewhere about
the country are deeply interested in
Senator Newland's plan for a COM
mission to direct federal waterway
control and improvements. Secretary
James N. Stout, of the Staten Island
Sound Deep Waterways Association,
sent letter to Mayor Ferd Garretson
today, informing him of the PROPOSE
tion and telling him that the rivers
and harbors bill passed Wednesday
by the House of Representatives Is
now In the hands of the committee
on commerce of the senate. AS has
been told, the house bill contains a
provision for an appropriation of an
other half million dollars for the
waterway project here and for sur
vey from Sandy Hook through Rari-
tan bay and Staten Island sound to
upper New York bay.
Approved by President.
Senator Newland's plan for a COM
mission on federal waterway control
and making Of improvements is gem
orally approved by the President and
the inter-departmental committee of
the cabinet. 1t was the subject OF
an extended conference at the White
House recently. Whether the plan
should be pressed at this session of
congress was considered BIT left un-
decided The question will be taken
UP again at a date not yet fixed.
Cabinet officials reported on their in
vestigation of the subject and Secre-
tary Lane announced their approval
of the general plan.
Would Control Waterways.
The proposed commission would
have authority over questions relat-
ing to development, improvement
and control of navigation as part
of interstate and foreign commerce;
and related questions of irrigation,
forestry, fisheries, swamp land rec
Iamation, clarification of streams,
food regulation and water power
utilization.
1t has been suggested that an
amendment be submitted in the SEN
ate to the rivers and harbors appro-
priation bill, providing for the or
ganization of the commission to in
yestigate the broad waterway scheme
outlined. Such an amendment was
defeated when the big rivers ana
harbors appropriation was blocked at
the last session by filibuster. APP
preparations for the scheme, accord
ing to Mr.. Newland's bill, would
amount to 100000, 900 year for ten
years, making a total of s600,000,-

persons were rescued, some from icy
waters, when the steamer Maryland,
of the Maryland, Delaware and Vir-
ginia Steamer Line, burned today In
the Chesapeake bay off the Magothy
river. That there was no loss of life
is due to the fact that the two night
liners from Norfolk to Baltimore ar

blazing steamer. Many passengers
who donned life belts and jumped in
to the bay to escape the flames, al
most perished in the icy waters.
Small boats picked up the eighty-hve

RAMSAY FAVORS
FORMATION Of
C0NSTABULARY
If Bill for State Police Force is
introduced, Senator Says
He viii Give it His Hearty
Support.

That a state constabulary similar
to that in Pennsylvania would be the
best thing in the world for New Jer-
sey, largely because of its extensive
manufacturing facilities, was the
claim of Senator William Il. Ramsay
today. He told of introducing a bill
for its establishment last year and
declared that it might be brought up
again this year, in which event he
would give 1t every bit of support
possible. The senator stated that he
wished to go on record as being
heartily in favor of a eonstabulary,
believing that 1t was the best means
OF preventing such occurrences as
have marked the local and Roosevelt
strikes during the past few years.
Introduced Bill Last Year.
The bill introduced by the local
senator last year WAS not passed,
largely because 1t was not reported
out of committee until near time for
adjournment of the legislature. When
1t was brought out there were other
important subjects up for action and
In the rush 1t was lost. The bill met
with some opposition from labor or
ganizers and as a result DR.. Ramsay
was made the target of unwarranted
attacks both on the street and else
where when he appeared after its in
PRODUCTION. The opposition was
wholly from organizers and in the
opinion of the Mfddlesex senator the
attacks were directed because they
appeared afraid of losing some lucra
tive Jobs. Some of them would hold
him up on the street and ask him
what he meant by introducing such a
measure.
Good For All Concerned.
In the opinion of Mr.. Ramsay,
employer and employe alike, as we'll
as the general public should be glad
to be under the protection of such
a magnificent body as state constab-
ulary usually are. In contract, he
pointed to the engagement of gun
men and thugs by public officials as
we'll as private Interests to guard HE
and properly 20 a aas f1 | they
their employers with seemingly lit
tie regard for human life. On the
contrary, the senator declared mem
bers of state constabularies worked
for the public. the employe, as we'll
as the employer and favored no one.
They are merely peace officers, the
senator stated.
Regarding the opposition made in
the form of claims of heavy expense,
DR.. Ramsay stated there was moth
ing to 1t. He declared that a state
constabulary would do away with
commission officers of various sorts.
Its members would take charge of
game law regulations and fill many
other positions, In which large sums
are now paid out annually.
