BOSTON. May 17-Driven by

New England coast early today. the
United States cruiser San Francis

grounded on the middle OF Nan
tucket shoals at a. m. according
to radio reports reaching the navy
yard here.
Despite the high sea that was
running, no damage vas done the
cruiser. and she fioated of without
assistance few hours later. Early
wireless messages here saying that
eight men lost their lives, proved
unfounded. and the navy yard re-
ports no one killed or injured.
The San Francisco now rides a.

Lansing Officials Here
to Secure Data for
Proposed Measure
WILL CUT OUT
ALL RED TAPE
Mandatory Registra-
ton Days to Be Done
Away With

A saving OF thousands OF dollars
10 the state through revision OF
state registration laws for voters
will be made. should the efforts now
being put forth by Dennis Award.
secretary of the senate. and Charles
s. Pierce. clerk OF the house OF rep
Tesentatives, be successful.
Both men were in Detroit. Tues
day. acting as special committee
for the state legislature TO gather
data for a bill which will be pre-
sented at the next session OF the
legislature for the purpose of simpli-
flying the complex laws that now
govern the registration OF voters.
During their local investigation they
visited Deputy City Clerk Guy In
gals. the board of election commits
sioners and Judge Alfred ]. Murphy.
The purpose OF the proposed legis-
lation is TO eliminate red tape" now
surrounding registration and do
away with inconvenience now sur
fered by voters by having to make
regular visits TO the registration
booths before elections. Particular
" the smaller towns will be affected
by the new law. which will provide.
as now contemplated. that registra-
ton OF voters in towns and villages
be made at the office OF the village
or town clerk, thus doing away with
the old registration board and saw
ing the state the salaries the mem
bers OF this board receive.
The proposed bill will do away
with the mandatory days for regis
tration. which force the voter TO
register his name on certain date,
sometimes only two or three days
<efore election. The necessity OF
registering every four years. which
the law now demands. also will be
knocked out by the new law. This
provision is deemed unnecessary be-
cause OF the fact that so per cent OF
the voters are permanent residents
OF the precincts in which they have
registered.
