ETHERGRAPHS ON OCEAN VESSELS.

COMPULSORY INSTALLATION.

London, Jan. 30.

Owing to the service of wireless telegraphy saving the passengers of the Republic and the Florida, a bill has been introduced into the United States Congress for the compulsory installation of ethergraphs on all ocean-going vessels.

notes:

If this is true, the legislation was introduced just eight days after the accident.
