BODY OF NANGATORS
HOLDS FINAL SESSION
Masters, Mates and Pilots Discuss
Problems Relating to Safety
at Sea.

Thirty-six delegates to the annual
convention Of the National Association
OF Masters. Mates and Pilots attended
the final session of that organization
last night at the New Ebbitt House.
During the week the delegates have
worked each day on problems pertain
ing to the safe navigation of ships. A
large number of petitions, coming from
every section of the country and ask.
ing for various aids to navigation, have
been considered in the course of the
daily sessions. The meetings have
been addressed by numerous members
OF Congress-: recommendations, re-
ports and requests have been sent to
bureau Of lighthouses and the War and
Navy departments.
Election Of Officers.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: National president, ]. H.
Pruett: first vice president, F. B. Whit
ing; second vice president. w. T. DAN
iels; third vice president, w. A. Phin-
ney; fourth vice president r. S. Laven-
der; treasurer, "A. b. Devlin; secretary,
NJ. D. Tenniswood. Ulster Davis was
elected to the board of trustees for a
period of three years. and other MEM
bers elected were d. w. Pratt and r. NJ.
Lavender.
One of the most important actions
taken by the association was in ref
erence to the seamans act. Differing
from the announced Interpretation of
the Department of Commerce relative
to the clause providing that a certain
percentage of the crew Of American
ships must be able to understand every
order of the captain spoken in English.
the association holds that this rule ap-
plies to extraordinary as well as or
binary orders. 1t is the claim of the
association that the very purpose of
the rule is frustrated by the depart
ment's Interpretation.
Want Law to Have Fair Trial.
A letter has been sent to Senator La
toilette, urging that the entire law be
given fair trial before any action
purposed to bring about the repeal of
any section be taken.
