I- T. Uhamberinln, Uommißßioner
"f Navigation, says they arc.
Marlin B. Madden, member of Con
gress from Illinois, says they are.
Minority Leader Mann says they
are. In eome respectn
Speaker Champ ‘ lark, coming from
the "Show Me" State. say« It Is a
"Bland-off" between men and women.
S T. Kimball, general xuperintend
ent of the Live-Saving Service,
doesn't want to show favoritism, an 1
says “both men and women are gen
er <Uy brave.”
Chamberlain's declaration 1s very
emphatic It Ik contained in a report
! which he has just made to the Secre
! tary of Commerce on charge® relat
ing to conditions «*r vessels on th*
Great T.akes. and it has awakened
widespread discussion ■
Th*- < barges were filed bv the Amer
ican Vigilanie Association. They al- I
’eg* ii it was a habit of masters of 1
small vessels on the lakes to have j
women <>n board, ostensibly as cooks, j
| but r* ally for immoral purposes. Th * ; !
i .iSMocfation wanted the practice I
' stopped. One of its arguments was <
I ’hat women were in the way in ma- «
] line disasters, that men were ham- I
I ppred in their efforts to escape bv |
i th-- need of looking after the wom -n. i
i and that women should not be al- ( i
‘ lowed on board the small trading ves- I
. seis. wh«r* the life-saving facilities j
were necessarily limited. j
Finds Charges Unfounded.
commissioner Chamberlain was di- 1
rei-ted to make an investigation. He ’
did SO. He found th* ‘barges against j
I C • masters of the vessels were un- i
founded, and he said as much. The i
hing that really aroused his indig- !
nation, howevi r. was the allegation |
’hat women were in the way in dis- i
asters and the intimation that they I !
were im king in physical bravery. , 1
“Women, as a rule, in mafine dis- . ;
istirs,” said Mr. Chamberlain, “have I
-h*»v. »i courage. se!f*po»ses»ion, seß- I
reliance and obedience, and almost I

of which ’hey seem blind.”
Madden Is Enthusiastic.
Representative Madden, of those 1
who paid particular note to Mr <
chamberlain'* report, was the hi m; [ 1
enthusiastic In his indorsement of (he 1
< ’ommiwinner’s view’s.
“I have never seen a woman who in j
time of danger wasn’t braver than a j
man while the danger lasted,’ salu *
Mr Madden. "When it comes to being |
equal to an emergency, a woman L , i

Life Saver Noncommittal.
.And Superintendent Kimball, of the
Lift* Saving Service, a man who has
worked bls way to the top by Indus
try and judgtnen: went the Speaker
even one better in declining to be
pinned down to the subject

apparently through his mind went I
visions of the pr-'dlcament he would I
be in if he said the wrong thing ” n I
such a delicate matter “1 can’t give I
an opinion w ithout losing up the rec- I

“But surely.” it was argued, "your I

an impression, at least, of the phys- I

Mr. Kimball had a happy thought. {I
