GOOD WORK OF LIFE SAVERS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. S. I. Kimball,
general superintendent of tho life snvlng
service, In his annual report to Secretary
Gage, says that nt the close of tho fiscal
year tho establishment embraced 2011 sta
tions, 10 1 being on the Atlantic, T.S on tho
lakes, 16 on tho I'aclllc nnd 1 at the falls
of the Ohio at Louisville, Ky.
Tho number of disasters to documented
vessels within tho field of operations of
tho service during tho year was SCI. Thero
were on board these vessels 2,C6S persons.
of whom 2.C07 were saved and 48 lost. Six
hundred and soventy-thrcu uhlpwrccked
persons received succor ut tho stations, to
whom 1,447 days' relief In the aggregate
Mas afforded. The eetlmatcd value of tho
vessols Involved In disaster wna $G,127,D00,
nnd of their cargoes 3,3I2,C!)0. making a
total valuo of property Imperiled JD.470.100.
Of this amount $7,234,000 was saved and $2,
233, GOO lost. Tho number of vessels totally
lost was 61. In addition to tho foregoing
thero were during tho vear :i2'J casualties
to small craft, such as small yachts, sail
boats, rowboats, etc., on board of which
voro 781 persons, of whom C wcro lost. Tho
property Involved In theso Instances Is es
timated -at $207,070, of which $256,770 was
saved and $I3C0 dost,
DcsldcH the. nmnber of persons saved
from vessels of all kinds thero wcro C9."i
othcrsl rescued who had fallen from
wharves, piers and other positions of ex
treme peril,, many of whom would have
perished without tho aid of tho life-saving
crews. Flvo hundred and fourteen of
theso wcro rescued from dwelling houses,
outbuildings and other elevated places sub
merged wholly or Jn part by tho terrible
flood of tho llrnios river in Texas, July 0
to 12, 180U.
Tho crews saved and assisted to save
during tho year. 371 vessels valued with
their cargoes at $I.UOfi,5fiO, and rendered
assistance of minor lmportanco to OSS
other vessels In distress, besldos warning
from danger 191 vessels.
Tho Investigations mndo Into tho details
of every shipwreck Involving loss of life
nnd Into tho conduct of tho llfc-navlng
crews, show that no life was lost through
lack of prompt and faithful efforts oa tho
part of tho life-saving men. More than
auo-half of those who perished were lost
by reason of tholr unwise attempts to
reach shore In their own boats lnstend of
remaining on board the wrecks.
Tho cost of the malntenanco of tho scrv
Ice during tho year was $l,fi35,'j36.
Tho general superintendent calls atten
tion to tho Justice and necessity of an In
crease In tho compensation of district
superintendents, who, ho bellovcs, nro tho
poorest paid iicrvants of tho government,
considering tho nature and extent of their
duties and their heavy financial responsi
bility, and ho makes a strong plea In their
behalf.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. The Industrial
commission today h(eard tho testimony, of L.
I', McConuack, labor commissioner of tho
stato of Indiana, nnd of 1'rof. John Graham
Itrooks of Cambridge, Mass., president of
tho National Consumers' league.
Mr. McCortnack'a testimony was devoted
largely to tho subject of arbitration. Ho
said that mode of settling labor disputes
was rapidly gaining favor In his state. In
aomo trades arbitration, bo said, had almost
Bupplanted strikes. Ho urged tho necessity
and wisdom of enforced arbitration In ex
treme cases whero tho Interests of tho public
aro concerned and where a long strike will
bring disaster to tho people at large. This
mo: hod, ho thought, oftcu would nvort blood-
Rhcd, and he considered tho method more
couomlcal an well as moro hutnatio than
calling In the military.
Mr. McCormack said that most of tho la
bor troubles wcro with unorganized labor or
now organizations, tho older organizations
being tho most conservative. Mr. McCor
mack tald that whllo tho labor organiza
tions might not bo friendly to enforced arbi
tration tho Interests of tho nubile at largo
should bo consulted rather than the wishes
of tho few dlrccly engaged In a strike.
I'rof. Urooks' testimony was devoted to
work In tho sweatshops, In the Invcatlc.i
tlon of which he has been engaged for many
years. Ho said tho Massachusetts law-
works fairly well, but that In Now York and
New Jersey tho conditions wcro most de
plorable. In those states It was Impossible
to sectiro udequato inspection because of tho
fact that tho work is done In private apart
mentn. The wages were the lowest posslblo
nnd often were pieced out with charity,
ma til n i: the competition with higher labor
very tense. People thus employed work from
fourteen to sixteen hours per day, to tho
Injury of their own health nnd tho damago
of tho community. In New York, said l'rof.
Urooks, politics gets Into tho subject, reu-
during It Impossible to make Inspection
"Unless thero Is some Inllueiico brought to
bear strong enough to allow tin to get nt
tho private Iiouhom of these people the trag
cdy will go on Indefinitely." ho said. Ho ad
vocatcd the substitution of factories and
argued that tho result need not. with tho
use of proper machinery, bo an lucreaso of
prices for the ooila manufactured. That
chauge also would result in higher wages
and an Improvement of tho garments. He
dwelt on tho danger of spreading disease
through tho shops, snylng It Is always Im
mluent. l'rlccs were getting to bo so low
Mr. Brooks said, that Americans very sel
dom engago In the work. Moat of the sweat

Census Morrl.im was nt tho Whlto House
todny. Ho called tho attention of the
president to the fact that the figures on
the population of tho United States, tho
totnl of which already havo becu an
nounced, nre In such shape that they will
bo at tho disposal of emigres:! when It
meets for any action It tuny desire to take
In the direction of u reapportionment bill.
Tho reapportionment following tho count
of tho twelfth census will become opera
tive by law In 1003.
There probably will be considerable In
crease both In the ratio and the total num
ber of representatives under tho new ap
portionment. Starting with n rntlo of ono
to every 30,000 Inhabitants, there worn
slxty-flvo representatives In tho Klrst
congress. Tho eloventh census, In 1S90,
gnvo n population of C2,(122,25C, or nn In
crease of 12.SOO.000. Tho ratio was 173,
901 people to each representative and the
house numbered 3.j members. Tho ratio
under the new census probably will reach
200,000. With an Increase of 13.22.1.161,
shown by tho present census nnd lottlnn
majority fractions of tho apportionment
count for an additional member, a:i has
been tho custom, this would make an lu
creaso of eighteen members In tho next
house. lleupportloniuent on thl3 basis
would causo only four states to loso repre
sentatives. They are Maine njid Virginia
In tho east and Kniwaj and Nebraska In tho
west. Theso states would loso u member
each. Any ratio smuller than 200,000,
which would snvo them their full repre
sentation, would causo a considerable ad
dition to tho membership of tho house.
