GOVERNMENT MAY
USE OIL FOR FUEL
OFFICIALS EXAMINE THE OIL
BURNING APPARATUS on THE
STEAMER ENTERPRISE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S.-An ex-
animation Of the oil-burning apparatus
on the steamer Enterprise was made
yesterday by a board of Government
officials, and a report on their conclu-
sions will be made to Washington. The
officials were Colonel r. a. Hamburg of
the Lighthouse service; Captain O. G.
Hamlet of the Revenue service, and
Captain j. b. Milton of the Hydro
graphic Office. John f. Green of the
Navy, who is a graduate of the Royal
Naval institute of Marine Engineering
of Holland, was also with the party
as representative of Rear Admiral
Henry Glass, cOmmandant at Yerba
Buena Island.
The steamer Enterprise was the first
ocean going steamship to use oil for
fuel, and her experience has been
watched with more than ordinary in
/ terest by representatives of the Gov
eminent, who are under instructions to
report fully upon the practcablity Of
using oil, instead of coal, for fuel. Yes
terdays examination of the appara tus
on the Enterprise, while in the line of
their duty, was entirely informal. but
the report that will be forwarded to
| Washington will in all probability
highly approve of the methods in use
on the Enterprise, which re the en-
/ bOulllltlll VI a htN lNf lIldl was INV tlllfA
in this city, and is generally consider
| ed to be the most satisfactory manner
/ of utilizing crude oil tor fuel on steam
ships.
1T is the best method I have yet
seem" said Green, after the eXamina-
/ ton. The Government will no doubt
finally adopt some system of oil-burn-
| ing, but is waiting for a perfection Of
the various methods in vogue. This
system on the Enterprise does away
| with the danger from gas accumula-
ton, where there is a superheater, for
the reason that the superheater in this
vessel IS in her furnaces, and the SUI
,pertluOus gases are consumed, much
on the principle of a Welsback light
1t Is understood that Green will recon-
mend the adoption of the system on
Yerba Buena Island.
The Enterprise, on her last trip to
Hilo, made remarkably good time. both
going and returning, the improvement
being credited to the new system of
Oil-burning in the furnaces. The fronts
of the boilers as well as the burners
are specially constructed for the use
of oil under the new system.

WANT TO GET JOBS.
Kansas Commissioners Go to ST. Louis
TO See About Them.


c. H. Luling went to Topeka last night
and today the Kansas commissioners to
the ST. Louis fair and Governor Bailey
vii go to St. Louis to register a kick
with the promoters of the fair about the
Jobs Kansas is to receive at the fair.
The promoters of the fair told the COM
rnissioners that the jobs were to be ap-
portioned to each state according to the
appropriations each state made to aid
the fair. Kansas made a good allowance
for the fair, and the commissioners have
been unable to land the jobs they were
to have. The commissioners and the
governor are going to ST. Louis and tell
the fair people what they think OF them
and get a few jobs for the Kansas boys
who want TO see the big show.
The commissioners are also going to see
about the newspaper boys privileges. The
fair people said that they would set
apart one day when all the newspaper
people of the state would attend a ban
cuct would be provided and the press
would be accorded the freedom of the
grounds The banquet is all right, and
the newspaper men appreciate it, but they
cannot see the fair in one day and would
like to have the courtesy extended them
for as long as they may wish TO stay
The Kansas commissioners are going 70
see about this, too, and find out what is
70 be done, and then advise the news
papers accordingly.

HARD LUCK
THOMPSON FAMILY OF NINE IN
HARD RCUMSTANCES.
Are Living in Tent on West Side of
River

There is a family ling in a tent at the
corner of Meridian and Second streets
on the West Side, that has struck an eX-
ceedingly bad streak Of hard luck. They
came here six weeks or two months ago.
and the wife and children were planning
to take the consumptive husband to the
mountains but he was unable to travel
any farther than Wichita.
The name Of the family is Thompson
and there is father, mother and seven
children, ranging in age from five to
nineteen years. The husband and father
is too weak to move. He is in the last
stage of consumption and is nearly bent
double. He sits in a chair all of the time
as he can hardly IL down.
one of the little boys started to climb
into d wagon nearly six weeks ago when
the team started up and the little fellow s
foot was crushed He was taken to the
st. Francis hospital and has been there
ever since.
One of the little girls was poisoned
few weeks ago and has been under med
zeal care ever since and is almost unable
to work even around the house.
The oldest boy is nineteen years old and
works for three dollars a week and board.
The parents say that he turns in every
cent he gets to help them. The next old
est child is a boy seventeen years old and
he has been working for farmer at fifty
cents day. Both boys were very good
and did their best to help support the
family but food. medicine and nursing
cannot be procured on half dozen dollars
a week.
Mrs. Shields, police matron. has visited
the family several times and has aided
them, but the parents DO not like to ac-
cept aid. They want to get their boys a
place to work where they could earn
enough to support the family during the
short time the father has TO live. To add
TO the misery, last Friday evening the
seventeen-year-old boy ran away from
home for some unknown cause and has
not been found, while his parents and
other children are suffering for food and
medicine. Three out of nine are sick, one
may die at any time. the other in the hos
pital and the third should be in a place
where she could receive good medical at
tention for a few weeks The entire fam
lily lives in a tent less than ten feet
square. The neighbors say that they are
industrious and do everything possible to
help themselves but this is almost impos-
sible owing TO the condition of the father.
Mrs Shields has tried to secure good
place for the older boy where he could
get as much money as he really is worth.
The boy could earn almost a mans wages
bat so far she has been unsuccessful.
The police are using every effort to find
the missing boy and bring him back to
help support the family but SO far they
have failed TO locate him.
