Efforts of the Chamber of Commerce

The desirability of trainlng-ship In this

by the rumor that a Washington agent Is
on the coast to establish such an institution.
Tie experiment of establishing a train
ing-ship at THIS port WAS tried in 1876, when
the James was commissioned by the
Government for this purpose, The Legis-
lature that year enacted a law authorizing
the Board of Supervisors to Appropriate
funds for its maintenance.
After trial of about three wears the
project was abandoned, as the jamestown
loaned by the Navy Department for The
purpose, was converted Into a sort of float
ing reformatOry for refractory boys, which
use tended to make il unpopular.
Interest In the subject was revived last
year by the Chamber of Commerce, which
authorized Stewart MeHzies to prepare a
bill to be presented to tie Legislature. The
bill was entitled AN act to provide for the
establishment and maintenance of a train
ing-ship Tor the instruction of boys in
nautical matters by the State of California.
and to appropriate the sum Of 100000
therefor"
1t was introduced February "a in the

mlttee on Finance and that was The last
that was heard of il.

modate 200 boys with all the necessary
tackle and apparatus to interest BOYS in

The bill further provided that the train

be not under II or over IS years of age, The
term OF service was fixed at two years.
Captain +. o. Matthews of the United
States navy, who is now on the coast on an
official tour OF inspe elton, was surprised To
ind that San Francisco did not maintain
such An institution, and his inquiries in re-
gard to the matter prompted the report that
Secretary Herbert contemplated ordering
into commission tralning-stip at San
Francisco.
Captain Matthews is a member of the
Naval Board OF Inspection and Survey. In
conjunction with Naval Constructor David
w. Taylor Of Mare Island and Chief En-
glneer Charles Ii. Baker he is investigating
naval affairs on the Pacific Coast generally.
On Friday he visited the Union Iron
