! NEW YORK, February 1S.-Believing

of Catholic clergymen and laymen in
that city, is in New York city or near

to run him down. The authorities

Announcing his purpose to preach
crusade in Sweden for a conference Of
neutral nations whieh-shall- mediate
between the warning nations in Europe.
Lars F. Nelson. former editor from

peace expedition, has outlined his plan
to Representative London Of New York.
He IS going to urge the Swedes to
make a fight in their parliament to
force their government to call the con-
ference of neutrals proposed in the
joint resolution introduced in Congress
by Representative London.
During my visit in Sweden as one of
the Ford party ! found the radicals to
be strongly in favor of the calling of a
conference of the neutral governments
to seek to end the war;" said Mr.. Nell
son.

I am returning to Sweden to write

Secretary RedfieId Suggests
Changes in Regulations for
Their Training.
WOULD EASE UP BURDENS
WITHIN LIMIT OF SAFETY
Calls Matter to Attention of Super
vising Inspectors, in Ses-
sion Here.

Traditions of the service should not
stand in the way of efforts toward
building up a large American mer-
chant marine, according to an opinion
expressed in letter just sent by Secre-
tary Redfield to George Uhler, super
vising inspector general of the steam
boat inspection service. The Secre-
tary directs attention to the large
number of new ships about to go into
service and to the lack of available
officers for them, and asks that the
board of supervising inspectors. now in
session here, look into the matter of
providing more rapid means of equip
ping officers for the merchant service.
He also asks the board to consider a
change in the present requirement that
auxiliary boilers be provided to run
deck Winches.
Insistence by the board of supervis-
ing inspectors on the latter REQUIRE
ment might result in the return to the
British flag of twenty-one ships of the
United States Fruit Company fleet.
These vessels run their deck Winches
from the main boilers and. it is de-
clared. to compel them to provide the
auxiliary boilers would cost in the
neighborhood of 100000
Would Apply to All.
Secretary Redfeld said in discussing
his letter that he did not intend that
the fruit company's vessels should be
exempted from this regulation, but that
the steamboat inspectors should con-
slider the matter in relation to all ships
to see whether it was absolutely nee
essary in their opinion that they should
have auxiliary boilers for these
winches.
Calling attention to the danger that
the ships may return to the British
flags on account of this provision in
the American law, Secretary Redfield
said in his letter:
such a condition is unthinkable, and
raises at once the question why, if
these ships have, with their equipment,
operated successfully, we should insist
upon more onerous burden upon our
shipping merely because hitherto We
have thought it more safe.
II suggest for consideration that the
best foreign practice. not perhaps aver
age practice, but the best foreign
practice, which has been approved
by time and experience under careful
management, should be satisfactory,
and that to impose an extensive burden
beyond that is a matter putting us at
once upon the defensive. requiring very
strong arguments and very clear eX-
plantations. Our mere preference would
hardly be sufficient to satisfy the public
in a case of this kind
