men have abused this privilege" Low
man said. 1T Is o matter for their own
conscience"
It was explained in Lowman's Office

OF the port meant only relief from Gus
toms duties. e. w. Camp, commissioner
of customs, said he knew nothing con-
corning the New York report, but that
1t was the practice where responsible
officials return from abroad. after hav-
Ing performed some Government mis-
sion, that they are given substantially
the same courtesies as O diplomat.

planned, It was intended merely to re.
lieve the diplomat from paying duty,

SWIMMING COURSE
ENDORSED BY HESSE
Approved as Means of Safety
for Boys Enjoying Water
Sports.

Mai. Edwin B. Hesse, who is about to
retire as superintendent Of police, today
joined with other local ofhcials urging
the boys of Warrington who are non

tragedy that to some extent each year
stalks the path of non swimmers, who,
during warm Summer days, seek recre-
alton and fun in the OF swimnlin' hole,
or boating on the Potomac or other
nearby streams. Mai. Hesse placed his
approval on the learn to swim" cam
paign - q means Of teaching venture
some boys how to take care Of them

The Star and agents Of the American

| for the city because 1t centers attention
on the necessity of teaching boys, who
are naturally venturesome IN spirit, the
art Of swimming.
Statistics Compiled.
"As superintendent Of police, I have
had the painful duty Of having stats.
tics compiled each year Of the number
of deaths by drowning. Last year toll
Of "a lives was taken. The year before
loss Of life undoubtedly could not have
been prevented, certainly some Of the
lives would have been saved had those
suffering accidents been able TO swim.
II therefore urge boys who cannot
swim to take advantage OF this oppor-
tunity to learn the fundamental rudi-
mentary principles Of swimming which
next week will be taught at the boys
department Of the Y. M. G. A. under In
struction Of experts"

port, which granted them the privilege
Of bringing their baggage into the coun-

he added, they had to 60 through GER
tain formalities to obtain this privilege
