DISABLED TUG IN DOCK.

The tug Salem, of the United

King street, which was damaged by
a log catching in her propeller. near
Chesapeake City. in the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal, last week, has
been hauled out on the marine rail-
way of the Wilson Line, at the foot
of Fourth street.
Instead Of losing her propeller, as
has been thought. the Salem, which
has been used as a dredge tender,
broke her propeller shaft. This dam
age can be repaired within a few
days. Much relief was expressed by
Captain S. Z. Lawrence, OF the En-
gineer Office, who is in charge of
the vessels attached to this district,
because the Salem was formerly
owned by the Hamburg-American
Line, and It is difficult to obtain new
parts for her. At the beginning of
the World War the vessel was en-
ployed as a dispatch boat in New
York Harbor by the German line,
and was confiscated by the United

AIM TO STOP
OIL POLLUTION
Congressman Layton Writes
to Commerce Chamber
on Subject
NOT
TO BE AFFECTED

The Chamber OF Commerce has re-
ceived from Congressman Caleb r.
Layton. at Washington, the following
letter regarding pollution OF navlga-
BILE streams
"As 20 the other bills TO which you
call my attention dealing with oil
pollution. you are doubtless aware
Of the fact that the matter has been
taken up already by the Rivers and
Harbors Committee, and somewhat
extensive hearings have been had
upon the subject.
I'VE found upon a careful investi-
cation that there had been no scien-
tifc determination reached or cor
receive measures discovered for what
IS undoubtedly a growing evil. do
not know whether I sent you a copy
OF the hearings IN question or not,
but General Beach appeared before
the committee and so did Secretary
Hoover. and the result OF a very
thorough investigation OF both of
them disclosed no remedy as yet for
this evil.
I'VE were very loath 20 introduce
a bill dealing with all forms Of
pollution of water, whether by manu-
facturers. whether as a result OF
manufacturing establishments, or
pollutions from the sewage OF cities
for fear Of Its disastrous effect upon
industrialism, as we'll as upon the
municipalities Of the country. There
was. however. a united opinion as 10
the advisability OF taking immediate
steps 10 prevent oil pollution OF our
waters.
After investigating this phase OF
the question. II was clearly seen
that nothing effective could be done
without international agreement.
Steps are being taken TO secure this.
and therefore get rid of at least this
source Of pollution Of our waters. I
think that can assure you that this
subject is one that has fixed itself
very securely upon the minds Of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee. as
well as upon many city organiza-
tions. and upon the minds OF the
public in general. and that there
will be no rest until some means are
discovered for correction OF water
pollution.
'In connection with the hearings
in question. am sending you a copy
so that you can read for yourself
just what transpired in the hearings
of the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee. 1 will say in this connection
that II seems certain that nothing
has been done before in this matter
II was discovered in the hearings
throughout some source which 1 do
not now recall, that in Europe they
had scientific means TO keep the
water pure. even when industries
lined the banks OF the streams, so
that there was no pollution OF the
water. and no destruction of the
fish and other living things therein.
If this be true, wonder II this in
formation has never reached this
side OF the Atlantic"
