HUMAN LIFE MUST BE PROTECTED Ititert-MliiK I)lrtiMloii on Whnt Mrt ir Mh- ot He Done "Within Bound ) of Law When n the Wntern nt This Ilalllwlck. Ordinarily tbe landlubbers whose cruises bayc been conducted across cornfields and along shaded lance behind their sleepy horses are not required to know tnutb about tbe lawt, of navigation. There Is but one unwritten law which they are expected to observe lor public protection, a well at tor their own. and that is that In passing each other they should keep to the right, while, with condition equal, they must each give an equal share of tbe road. ThU is a pood rule for the imper turbable landlubber, but It will not work In plowing the roaring main, wherefore Uncle Sam has laid down a set of laws lor the regulation ot the conduct of ves sels toward each other and the protection of life and property. Lake Manawa has been declared to be Vnlted State water, although It U an Inland lake, built by human hand and overspreads a tract of land that was once , wont to rear Its ripples m tmiowing grains and grasses instead of the element that teas and rivers arc made of. Before the land was fitted up as a suitable abode for the mermaid the old rule of "keep to the right" was good enough for public pro tection In that propinquity, but now that marine life Is installed there the need has begun to be felt of the more or less i.trlngcnt application of some of the most simple marine laws. Manawa hat become such a popular re sort for boatmen and so prolific of boating that tbt protection of human life requires Its habitues to know something of the laws that regulate the relations of water craft. In the evenings Its surface te plowed by the prows of couutless boats of various kinds, Including the trim and graceful yacht, the swift and noiseless launch and the lumbering, laboring rowbuaU The un studied In marine affairs might naturally jump at a conclusion that each variety of craft lr suppofeed to take care of itself and that all are allotted equal rights In the matter of right-of-way. and the neccsElty of can? In avoiding collisions and other mishaps. It is not the case by any means. The rights of the respective craft depend a great deal upon its method of locomo tion. All Kinds, of llukU. This summer the motor company which operates the resort has put Into service on the lake a large electrit launch, a steam boat and a small gasoline launch, all for the regular carrying traffic between the north and south sides of the lake. They aUo hnve a large number of row boats for hire. The Council Bluffs Itowlng associa tion also hus a large number of private rowboats, one of Its membcrB owns u gaso line launch, and the Manawa Yacht club has no less than seventeen yachts plying tbe lake, varying in size, but nil of pre tentious degrees of speed capabilities. Heretofore theBe various sorts of pleas ure .craft have been scurrying hither and thither across the lake In the darkneBS of the summer evenings sanB beacon lights or rules for guidance and every night that this practice Is continued endangers the lives of tboae who go In for that sort of recreation. Recently tbe attention of tbe collector of tbe port of Omaha has been called to the seemtng necessity of such protection as would be afforded by the en forcement ot the marine laws provided for public Bafety. The collector of the port has Jurisdiction over all United States waters In this section and It Is made his duty to look after the enforcement of Uncle Sam's navigation laws. As a result of the aBsault upon his attention it is probable that' all of the larger craft navigating the lake will soon be equipped with safety lights that serve as signals. To avoid col lisions Involving risk of life It would be proper for all power boats and all rail boats to carry red, white and green lights, so disposed on the stem of the craft that the course of the vessel could be deter mined In the darkness by an observer upon another boat. By the relative position of the different colors of light such observer could readily tell whether tbe craft bear ing them is approaching him or receding from m. The port side of a vessel Is the left hand side as one stands in the stern and looks forward and the starboard side Is the rlghthand Bide under the same con ditions. A vessel Is on the port tack when the wind blows upon its Ball from the port side and is on the starboard tack when the wind blows upon Its sail from the star board side. Section 4:23, rule SO. ot the United States laws ot navigation provides that It two vessels, one ot which is a sail vessel and the other a steam vessel, are proceeding in such direction as to Involve risk ot col lision the stoam vessel shall keep out of the way of the sail vessel. Rule 22 pro vldes that every vessel overtaking any other vesBel shall keep out ot the way of 1)11. A.

When tw-o ships are approach ing one another so as to involve the risl: ot collision one ot them shall keep out of the way as follows A ship which is running free shall keep nut ot tb way of a ship which IK close hauled. A ship which 1b close hauled on the port tack shall keep out of the way of a ship which It close hauled on the starboard tack. When both are running free, with the wind on different sides, the ihlp which has the wind on the port side shall keep out of the way of the other. When both are running tree with the wind on the B&rne side, the ship which Is to the windward shall keep out of the way of the ship which is to the leeward. A fchip which has tbe wind aft shall keep tml of the way of the other ship. Can't Heeulute the Wind. As a general proposition sailing craft hnve rlcht-of-wsy over all craft propelled by power subject to regulation. This is because the wind as a motive power Is a contrary thing and cannot always be made to carry n vessel in the way which circum stances may require it to go for safety. Steam vessels have the power to regulate their course more effectively and arc, therefore, expected generally to keep out of the way of the sailing craft. Row-boats are so easily handled that they are sup posed to keep out of the way of the larger craft, both steam and sail, because the ' large boats are not bo responsive to the rudder as tbe smaller. 1 It will be seen from the above that It ! stands the owners and operators of the 1 lake pleasure resort to take every precau tion lor the safety of their patrons, not i only on account of such patrons, but to avoid the risk of financial responsibility in , actions for personal damages. Should one of the yachts be run down by one of the company's power boats and loss of life result It might prove a very expensive proposition lor the owner ot the power boat, who is presumed to know the law. So It Brews that the company which is operating Manawa is beginning to realise that there is something more to It than the expenditure of large sums for improve ments and the garnering of fees from patrons. Precautionary measures for the safety of patrons and the avoidance of financial liabilities are essentials and of late the management of the lake resort has been studying up the laws of naviga tion and I evincing a readiness to comply with Its provisions. One of the provisions of the law is that all land under navigable waters belongs to the state in which it lies, subject to the navigation laws of the general govern ment. Another declares that docks or buildings constructed over or on navigable waters are Bubject to navigation laws. One of the provisions of the navigation laws Is bald by those familiar' with- the subject to be that no vcbscI can be prevented from landing at a dock over government waters The motor company had constructed some docks at Manawa for its own use and re cently a m'ld controversy arose over the right of the boats of others to land thereat. The discussion that nrosc from this slight brush over the rights of boatmen has re sulted In the conBtructlon of a dock by the company for the use of the yntchsmen.

GOLF CONTINUES POPULAR Hot Bun lull to Stop PJiy M Iiiakt at tin Conntrr Olub. MANY SfECTATORS INTERESTED IN GAME Last !enon's Prediction that the 5cotch Game Would Wane In Oiunhn Within n Year Proi r a Fnllnre. At 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, when It was Just 105 degrees In the shade aocordlng to the official rceorder of tem peratures, there were Just twenty-eight people scattered around the eighteen holos of the Country club golf course. All were playing the game and there were many more besides out there in the sun following the contestants around and watching the game. The hottest day that Omaha had known In a score of years could not keep the lovers of the Scotch pastime from indulging la their usual afternoon round or two. H Is Just that way all the time. To ward the end ot the last season and at the first of the present one It was feared by some that golf would wane In Omaha this year; that it was but a fad and would continue to hold only a certain lew of those who would Btlck to it only because they excelled or because It was the only thing on earth In the way of athletics that they could do well. And such impressions were sown broad cast by the social and nthletk- calamity howler, who voiced to the four winds his strenuous belief that not a single man, woman or child in Omaha would take up golf this year as a new game and that a great many of those who already knew it from last Beason would drop out and let It severely alone. Another reason in addition to the "tad" complaint that was given as a cause for this certain dying out of golf was its ex pense. Many of those v hfc took part In It were people ot only moderate means, who had not realized when they Btarted In what a complication of drafts on the check book would occur In the course of a sea son of play and equipment, etc. They had stuck it out for the flrBt year, o: course, said these detractors of the sport, but would not be found there again. How mistaken was this impression can be understood from the remarks of one ot the golfers, himself an ardent second season devotee. Sure Mont)- ut It. "When I Rtarted in," r.ald this player, I was very tearful that the expense might be more than I could afford. I had heard so much about how much It cost that I was stage-struck before 1 began. But to my surprise, I have found that the game Is actually a financial benefit to me. 1 save money at it. At the end of each month I am better off than I had been during months before I played golf. "That may sound strange, but lfs true. By the time I have played a couple of rounds, had dinner, drinks nnd other Inci dental expenses I am not nearly so much out as If 1 had passed the evening In town. It Is In the summer that one really squan- . ders money. Every night It's too hot to do tnythlng but Just sit around and spend money keeping comfortable, cool and amused. If 1 did not come out to the club every afternoon of this hot weather I should certainly spend far more in town than I do here. So I do not criticise golt as expensive." A perfect passion for watching the game. has sprung up recently. It has been espe cially noticeable since about the. first ol July. Both those who do not play much and those who have spent much time at the sport now loll around the course in the train of some closely matched pair or four, taking careful note ol each stroke and ap parently enjoying the game as much as If tbey were themselves in It. This thing Becms to have been etarted by the tournaments, when most everyone was a spectator People found out then Just how much fun It really was to watch a golf game played, especially by clever players, and they have been keeping It up elnce. It Is probable, however, that hot weather haB much to do with it. Not all golfers, not even all the more enthusiastic ones, care to brave the torrid heat ot this Indian summer. But they do not care, either, to be thought faithless and fickle to their fa vorite sport, bo they compromise with their love ot coolness and ease and their sports men's conscience by leaving their clubs In the lockers and watching someone else play. econd-Ilnm1 Golfing. But (here are many very good features to this method ol second-band golfing. It Is in many ways more instructive than playing oneself. Of course a beginner must handle a stick with his own lingers and grow his own blisters before he can do anything at all, but afterward, when the swing, the distance and all that is mere second nature, then come in tbe fine points ot tbe game. Headwork then becomes the feature, and nothing will tench 8 person euccese In this department of the game so rapidly as watching some good player do a course. Judgment Is the whole thing Just what club to use, Just what stroke to make. Just what Contil tnrinm rw. Trent meet toy mall. (nil or nricJr- 11U S. X-ltn ft.

Thut, it Is that every once In a while some goiter who hat always played low man to another will suddenly Jump up and defeat the former victor It Is because he has suddenly waked up and learned to watch not only his own game, but also that ot better and more experienced playero. No ticing what they have done In certain places and difficulties he has adopted simi lar methods, adapting the play, ot course, always to bis own peculiarities of style and his own strength of stroke and possibilities of play generally. So It Is not such a bad thing after all for the lazily inclined golfer who prefers to shun tbe heat .and exertion of a game on a hot day a far as consistent with his posi tion a6 a player to abandon his sack and gutty lor a time and learn by looking. When his own style of weather returns In the fall he will be really far ahead of his former point of advancement In the game and a little practice will take the rust v of his Joints and the haze from his cyet, so that he can use to telling effect the points he has gained from hit superiors. ONCE MORE ON ITS FEET Oinalin Ilnse Ilnll Tenin is "ovr Trnvel' Ian To aril Tojt of the I'er rentufcr Column. The Omaha base 111 team is apparently again on its feet and on the way to a Bate berth very near tho top ot the percentage column. Its performances ot the past week, taken all In all, have been very creditable, and tor the latter portion ot it have been very good, Indeed. Great en couragement Is to be derived not only from the fact that tbe team won so many gam s from Tuesday on, but also that a winning streak seems to have come once more. Everything Indicates this, the bitting of the playcrr most of all With the present staff of pitchers, the local team's only safety is in batting. It cannot win certain games, nor frequent ones, unless the boys all hit to the limit. This part done, their game Is usually sufficiently free from er rors to bring them a victory unless the twirlcr goes all to pieces. Ample Justification of Bill Rourke's cry tor new pitchers has been found in the success attained with Hallow ay, the new thrower from Indianapolis He has done his share, of the week's work In winning, and more, too. There is nothing like new blood when you need It badly. Bo the Gate City tribe has now earned its way up to third place again, after a down shoot thut seemed for a time to threaten worse things than fourth. Though St. Joseph has a fair lead over the team for second honors, it is very probable that It will be caught and overcome. There are many reasons which make this belief most reasonable. In the first place, Omaha's losing streak must certainly have very nearly played Itself out. Such a good team cannot be up against Its luck all the time, and if the tide has really turned, ns It seems, It means another long string of victories, such as marked the month of June. Secondly, the St. Joseph people have had about enough of this prosperity, be It good luck or good work. The chances are dollars to doughnuts that the southern team cannot keep up that gait much longer unless the men on it are a whole lot better than any one has suspected. As surely aB It Is time tor Omaha ,to win ngain It is time for St. Joseph to lese, and it will probably go with more or less ot u thud when it hap pens. The batting of the locals has shown tone interesting improvement. First of all, since Trank Genlns has been reinstated nt tho hend of the list he hos picked up wonderfully. He is not yet hitting the gait with which he began, but he Is doing many per cent better than he did for those latetul three weeks when the team slid down the toboggan with a rush and a roar Prank Is now making one or two hits every day, and It makes a great difference in the play. But probably little Toman has held the batting honors during the past week, any way for steody work. Each day's score shows him with figures in the hit column, and It Is a two-spot most all through. Then Fleming has been doing Borne fine busi ness, and In fact the infection seems to have spread throughout the team these laBt few days. With things on such a basis the outlook Is certalnl) promising lor Omaha. It seems now that we will Just about be in bhape by Augjst 6 to come home and take about two-thirds ot all the games to be played here from then on till September 1R. Further changes In the team are very Improbable now. Rourke considers himself lucky to have been able to get one good pitcher bo late in the season, nnd the dis banding of the Indianapolis club was all that made this possible. He will not find another, unless by some chance little short of a miracle. So from now on to tho end the team will remain nbout as It is, probably exactly bo. One, or maybe two pitchers, may be dropped, but this Is not likely, as during the last month or two it will not hurt to have a good many of them around for emergencies, which begin to count high about the middle of August Everything points to second place for the Omahas Just The Union Stock Yards Junior base ball team is now organized and ready to play any amateur team, the players In which do not range over 16 years of age..
