Washington. Sept 5.-Information OF great
value to the shipping and naval world is
contained in the report ~ Lieutenant Ward
=. WincheH. L. : y. on the trip OF the
oiI-burning steamer Mariposa from San
Francisco to Tahiti and return. n total dis
tance of 6.s75 miles This was the longest
run ever made by an oII-burning ship.
Lieutenant Winchelrs report shows that
results superior to those obtainable from
coal were achieved. while certain disadvar-
tagss feared failed 20 develop. The Mari
posa. with a gross displacement OF 3.160 tons
and horse power OF 2.isi. averaged SJi knots
a day during the trip with an average of 21S
barrels Of oil day.
An abstract OF the report. issued at the
Navy Department to-day. says:
1t practically required one and one-half
pounds OF oil an hour to secure a horse pow
or. and. while this result has been secured
on shore in highly efficient engines. the con-
sumption IL practically 20 per cent less in
weight of combustibIe than would be re-
uuired Of coal. The ship required 2se hours
to make the voyage to Tahiti and 80 hours
to return
The use Of oil instead OF coal resulted in
the reduction OF the Mariposa's complement
from eighty-one to sixty-five persons. thus
effecting a reduction from thirty-six to
twenty men IN the engiue-rOom-
The oil was atomized in the frebox by the
use of a compressed air spray. experiment.
ally shown TO be superior 10 the steam
spray. but a steam spray was carried for
use in case OF emergency
The voyage Of the Mariposa Is considered
remarkable I'm that she made the extended
trip To Tahiti without any long preliminary
sea trial.

STATE COMMITTEE
DRAWS FIRST BLOOD
Judge Bland Decides That Repnb
lican Fight Cannot Be Re
viewed by the Courts.
UP TO THE COMMISSIONERS.
Next Legal Proceedings Will Prob
ably Take Form of Man
damuS-.All Members of
Board VIII Act.

Judge = . Bland yesterday decided ;ha
he had no jurisdiction over the action OF
the Republican State Committee in ousting
sixteen members Of The City Committee.
The decision is a sweeping victory for the
anti-Kerens facticn in the Republican party,
and though other court proceedings vii!
probably be taken before the legal battle
IS over. it = likely that nothing will be
done until the Board of Election Commits
sioners pass on the question.
When Judge Bland heard the arguments
yesterday morning the Court Of Appeals
chamber was crowded with lawyars who
We're interested in the case. Very few
politicians Were present. Charley Carol!
and George r. Weinbrenner being the only
kerens members of the factionalists pres
ent. Neither State Chairman Atkins nor
Secretary Shriner were on hand.
James L Minnis and Charles Clafiin Al
len represented the State Committee and
John a. Gillian and T. T. Fauntleroy The
petitioners. Mr.. MINIS spoke first. the at
iorneys for the petitioners followed. and Mr..
Allen closed the argument. About two
hours were consumed by the speeches.
Judge Bland gave his decision Immediate
ly- He cited the Ftfty-first Lawyers Re
ports Cannotatedl, page 61, Supreme Court
of Kentucky, as showing that the courts
had no jurisdiction. In this case, II was
held that the action of a State Central
mination OF all the rights Of the parties
growing out Of this litigation and the courts
have no powers to question the regularity
of the proceedings or business Of the con-
clusions''
In accordance with this decision. Judge
Bland wrote the following memorandum.
''On motion of the defendants the proceed
ing is dismissed for the reason that the ac-
tion of the Republican State Central Com
mittee in removing REALTORS from the office
OF City Committeeman of the Republican
party was political action and not subject
10 review by the courts on writ of certio-
rari"
News of the defeat in the Court Of Ap;;
peals cast gloom over the sixteen ouStSd
members of the City Committee Some OF
them tried to take n hopeful view OF she
situation. but could offer on assurances of
final success.
Mr.. Gillian said that the matter il now
up to the Board of Election Commissioners.
According 10 many attorneys. mandamus or
injunct proceedings cannot be brough until
the board has signified an intention of ac-
knowledging the reorganiZed City Commit
tee. Some of the Meriwether people are
asking that the question be turned over TO
the Republican member of the board. LOUIS
p Aloe. This will hardly be done as any
action which might be taken would involve
all members OF the board.
