OPPOSED To THE
CRIMPING LAWS
MACARTHUR DECLARES THAT
THE LAWS, WHILE OsTENsIBLY
GOOD, ARE REALLY HARMFUL.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2S.-Walter
Macarthur, editor of the Coast Sea-
mans Journal appeared before the
Judiciary Committee of the Senate this
afternoon and made an address in
which he urged the repeal of three Sec
tons II the existing codes relating to
seamen.
The effect Of the sections referred to
is to prevent the boarding of ships to
entice or carry sailors away, the enti-
cling or forcing of sailors to desert or
aiding or harborng deserters.
Macarthur characterized these sec
tions as slave laws and proceeded to
set forth the abuses which have been
the result of their enactment. He de-
clared that their original purpose was
to prevent "crimping," but that they
had never been invoked against the
crimes 1On the other hand they were
used for the intimidation of union sail
ors and union pickets.
Where a strike is in progress" said
Macarthur, "or where one is about to
take place, six boats may put out TO a
ship in the meantime. Five of them
may carry 'crimps' and the sixth union
pickets. The 'crimps will be allowed
to go aboard and do as they please.
but under these laws the union men
will be prevented from approaching
DESERVING sailors in such times may be
found in unfair lodging houses, and
nothing is done. But if they are found
in union boarding-houses these old
laws are called up and the proprietors
are prosecuted for misdemeanor.
1T will thus be seen that the purpose
and intent of the 'crimp' laws have
been perverted and that they are used
only as a cause to fight the unions
There is no need Of these sections t.
prevent 'crimping'; for shipmaster,
and 'crimps stand in close relations
The 'crimp' is, except on rare occa.
siOns, convenience to the ship owner
and under this law or otherwise, is {
cursa To the sailor. We ask for a re
peal of the three seaman laws"

TAKES A CHANCE
OF VENUE
THE HAGEY CURE CASE TO BE
TAKEN TO THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT.

After fighting for three years in the
circuit court and going twice to the
supreme court of the territory, Thomas
M. Harrison, who considers himself
the greatest Hagey cure victim in the
world, is going to abandon the terrific
rial courts and go into the United
States District court to get what he
claims are his rights.
The Hagey cure case was begun Nov
ember 20, 1899. 1t has been tried three
times in the circuit court. 1t has been
twice before the supreme court of the
territory in some form and has just
been remanded to the circuit court for
another trial.
Harrison bought the right to exploit
the Hagey cure in Tasmania from the
defendants who include f. b. MCStOCk-
err, j. A. MagoOn, l.. c. Ables and
others, with the contract as he claims
that if he was dissatisfied with the bu-
siness in Tasmania he was to get stock
in the African Pacific and Indian
Hagey cure to the value of 100000. He
says he did become dissatisfied with it
and applied for his $100 of stock
which he has never got. Hence his
suit.
AS he is a British subject the Federal
court would have jurisdiction of his
suit. -
While he has been waiting for the
termination of the apparently inter-
minable suit Harrison has written a
novel which is soon to be published.

Stratton laid particular stress on the
closer connection which now existed
between Honolulu and San Francisco.
He referred to his first visit to Homo
lulu over twenty years ago and spoke
of the wonderful changes that had
taken place since that time This
city had Lone of the finest street car sys-
TENS to he found in the United States.
1t also had splendid hotels for the ac-
commodatlon of the tourists. THE
tourist is a great advertiser of any sec
ton" continued Mr.. Stratton. Cali
fornia is having a very striking eX-
ample of this fact, in the matter of her
tourist trade. Her climate attracted
the attention of tourists. they went
away and spoke of it and the result has
been that half a million of people have
come to California, bringing money to
invest
There has been a period of remark
able prosperity in San Francisco and
the United States recently and 1 only
regret that it has not included the Ha-
waiian Islands. The commerce from
the port of San Francisco has been in
creased over 200 per cent and there has
been added Sc deep sea sailing vessels
to the permanent harbor carriers from
San Francisco. Andrew Carnegie
made very striking statement recent
ly in the course of an address at the
Edinburgh University where a degree
had been conferred upon him. l did
not at the time appreciate the full
Significance of his statement. He
said that the secret of Americas great
prosperity was the fact that 96 per
cent of her productions We're consumed
at home and only per cent were ex-
ported. Using our own product so ex-

SEES W4IERMAN.

O, H. Jones of Barre, manager of
the W. @. Townsend granite office,
arrived in the city from Boston to-
day. He reported that he saw F. M.
Waterman, the man who mysteri-
ously disappeared from Waterbury
three weeks ago, on Hanover street in
Boston ON Saturday, the day after
he disappeared. At that time of
course, Mr.. Jones did no know that
Mr.. Waterman had been missed at
home. Mr.. Jones states that Mr..
Waterman seemed TO be all right and
talked to him for a minute or two.
This rather skaters the theory that
he had perished in the woods around
Middlesex or Waterbury. Mrs. Water
man was informed today of the facts
and M. j. Waterman, father of the
missing man, will go to Boston to-
night to look for him.

Dear Sirs You ask how many
square feet gallon will cover De.

There is great deal of lying on
this point. The stock claim of lying
paints is 300 square feet, two coats.
It's lie, as a rule.
Devoe covers 300 to 500, our agents
think. We think 300 too low and 500
too high though doubtless, they
both occur
How much the other paints cover
is equally doubtful; we guess 100 to
400.
The truth is found in another COM
parison. Devoe is all paint, true
paint, strong paint, and full-measure !;
the others in general are,' at the best,
diluted, ,adulterated and short-m measure
They cover according to body and
measure. You can't paint with clay
