HAM LEWIS IS HEARD Senator Takes Place of Fnruseth at London Conference. LONDON, Jan. 9. Work of the com mittee on revision of the International conference on safety of life at sea, on which James Hamilton Lewis has taken his place as one of the American rep resentatives, has been delayed and Its report will not be ready, for the full conference until January 18 at the earliest. The delay has been caused by the searching examination the commit tee is giving the reports to eliminate from the proposed treaty anything tliat might conflict with the fundamental laws of the countries which the dele gates represent. There are indications that the dele gates or some of the large shipowning Powers desire to arrange a treaty that would be binding on all of the signa tories and prevent them from passing any local laws in conflict with the treaty. Senator Lewis, who has just arrived with the latest views of the United States Administration on the subject, backed by the American delegation, in sists that the present revision shall be completed on the basis of a preliminary treaty, which shall not be binding until it is ratified by the United States Sen ate. He also stipulates that under no circumstances shall the treaty contain any clause that could, even by Impli cation, forbid any state of the American Union or the Federal Government from passing any legislation or local regula tions with their own shore lines. It has developed that the presence of Senator Lewis, who recently succeeded Andrew Furuseth, president of the In ternational Seamen's Union, as a dele gate, was due ' to the suggestion of Great Britain! France and Germany thai a Senator having the confidence of President Wilson should participate In the preparation or the treaty as some thing of a guarantee that the work done by the conference would be rati fied by the United States Senate.
