lights, bit this season we must put
up with lamps. We will have things
in shape SO that we can sleep ashore
tonight. We will take dinner on the
yacht this evening, and this will be
your last meal afloat for some time -
After dinner the tide had so far
reeeded that Capt. Waters made
ready to drop the SHARK into

yacht glided out into the bay It's

and aroused chorus from birds and
roar from prowling animals. Mr..
Pence declared he saw. the flaming
eyes of some wild beast through the
palm trees, and was not at all re-
assured when Hestor informed him
that it was nothing but a puma or
mountain lion"
ssThey are as common as rabbits
around here,"o he said. IF you leave
them alone they will not bother
yous They probably smell the meat
in the storeroom."
All were wearied from the days
work, and at a little after nine
o'clock it was. decided to retire. for
the night. Hestor shook hands with
all and grasped Sidney Hammond's
hand with an earnest clasp. He. again
expressed the hope that. they would
enjoy their visit, and bidding them
goodnight retired to his room.
AT five o'clock the following morn
ing the captives were aroused by. a
great cutlery. and hammeri1g at the
doors of their rooms. They found
Mr.. Pence rushing up end down the

rels of flour and crackers, barrels
of oil, lamps and lanterns, and an
endless variety of cooking utensils.
There was also a barrel which Mr..
Vincent handled tenderly, and that
gentleman took special care of crates
containing bottles of claret, beer and
Burgundy, to say nothing OF cigars,
tobacco, sherrieS, cordials, brandies
and liquors. Mr.. Vincent arranged
these in order, and then stood and
gazed lovingly at the imposing array.
And still the sailors brought new
treasures from the hold of the
.sShark" There were library shelves,
pictures, mirrors, bric-a-brac, piano
and the parts of a billiard table.
There were guns, revolFers and cases
of ammunition, together with rods
and an assortment of fishing tackle.
A huge chest contained complete
set of carpenters tools. There were
numberless articles of necessity and
comfort, including variety of
canned foods, jellies and jams, and
smoked and cured meats, of which
a grocer. or market-man might have
been proud. These were placed in
the storehouse, which was provided

cles. had been deposited. either IN the
various rooms or on the broad We
randas. Luncheon was served ON the
yacht, and the crew returned to their
task. MIR. Kent and Mr.. Rockwell
took hand in the work; so did Sid
ney Hammond and Mr.. Haven. Mr..
'Carmody took charge of. the arrange
ment of the pictures, while Mr.. l..
Sylvester Vincent devoted his time
to the perfection of the storeroom.
Mr.. Morton remained on board the
yacht for awhile, and then rejoined
the busy party. 1t was warm, but
he entered into the spirit of the
affair and was soon at work.
"You will find in one of the boxes
a great, assortment of linen cloth

climate said Hestor. There are
cork helmets and all of the devices to
protect you from the glare of the
sun. There is also gas engine
and a small dynamo sufficient to run

THE oTrea POINT Or VIEW

To be a little girl of ten
Seems nice enough-Sto boys and men;
J wonder if they ever tried
To argue from the other side?
] don't suppose they'd ever guess
The stiffness of a starched white dress;
! wonder how they'd like the hooks
Let alone the way it l0oksi
They never sit at home and sew,
And watch their brothers come and go;
should not even like to say
That they would bear it for day!
They do not know how hard it seems
To be a girl still, in ones dreams,
To feel that one can never be
A drummer boy, or go to sea.
Our brothers say we're hard to please
Because we long for things like these;
They think 1t issa pleasant life
TO wait until you're someone's wife.
When I'm a wife TIL gladly sit
At home, and cook and sew and knit;
But there's lot of waiting when
You're but a. little girl of ten.
Our brothers do not seem to know
That waiting can be very slow;
You see, they've never really tried
To argue from Sthe other side!

1--WE are somewhere In the West
indies. or in the Gulf of Mexico or
the Caribbean Sea-" said Sidney.
THAT is rather an indefinite answer,
admit, but we should be able. by
timing the sunrise by our watches
which are set by New York time-to
tell about how far west we are, and
possibly We can make a calculation
which viii determine our approx
mate latitude. / am inclined to
think we are well TO the west of
Cuba, and not many hundred miles
from the Mexican or Central Amer
ican coast
|. 81 entirely agree with you," said
Mr.. Morton. 81 kept as close watch
of the direction taken as possible.
Monday was cloudy, but I am sure
that on that day and on a. part of
Sunday we were going in westerly
or soutliwesterly direction. 1 figure
that we ran about 124 hours on a
fairly. direct course to this island.
The Sharks course was erratic only
when Capt. Waters was avoiding
other craft. Now, if we averaged
20 miles an hour, that would make
total of 2,4sO miles. 1t may be 100
miles either way from this esti-
mate"
Sidney produced an atlas from the
library, and all pored over the map
of North America, as if demanding
a solution of the puzzle from the
tinted page.
'sYou will not solve the problem
of where we are at by gazing at that
map" said Mr.. Kent. There are
thousands of islands in the West In
dies which are not on the map, and
we may be in any one of them"
Here is something that may be
of service to u.s." said Mr.. Morton,

anime the room occupied by Mr.. Hes

Mr.. Hestor unrolled a sheet of ma
Mia drawing paper containing a
well-executed map labeled ''Hesto-
ria" 1t was spread out on the din
ing table and examined amid much
excitement.

of the bungalow and around Morton

There is the reservoir he spoke
about, and here is the brook which

MOVES FENCES
FROM STREETS
Works Board Waging Cam
paign Against INSTRUCTORS
of Public ThOroughfares

The Board Of Public Works, through
Commissioner Woodward, yesterday
caused the removal of a number of
fences which have been obstructing
certain public streets for many years
in the University Mound and other out
lying districts.
Several property owners in defiance
Of all legal right took it upon them
selves to fence in about half of the
roadway in front of their own prop
erty and then rented the increased area
TO vegetable growers and flower pro-
ducers. Peremptory notices were
served on these owners to take the
fences down, or the Board of Works
would have its own men carry out the
order.
AS a result Commissioner woodward
reported yesterday that the fences
which obstructed half of the roadway
on London and Paris streets, near
China avenue, were removed by the
property owners. One individual had
fenced in half of the roadway Of Fell
ton street from Yale toeOxford, dis
tance of two blocks, but he obeyed the
Notice was also served on Lowell
White to remove the fences on Charter
Oak avenue at Thornton and Silver
avenues, the entire width of the street
being utilized as a vegetable garden.
If the fences are not removed at once
they Will be torn down by the Board of
Works
The board tore down a fence that
obstructed Magnolia avenue for a
width of seventeen and a half feet at
Webster street. The owner added that
amount CT land to his 120 feet of land
which he owned and failed to obey the
boards order TO take the fence down.
There is a large number Of other
fences on public streets which must
come down. and the Board of Works
intends to put an end to the practice
of property owners realizing revenue
from land which belongs to the city
and not to them.

ANNUAL INSPECTION is
VIGOROUSLY CARRIED ON
Major Wiser Putting Troops at the
Preside Through Unusually
Difficult Drills.


Major John P. Wiser is still going
on his rounds of annual inspection.
Everything is gone into minutely and
the inspection is carried out in ac-
cordance with the full army regula-
tions. The inspection is the most
complete and exacting that has been
undertaken in several years. The
general hospital buildings were in
spected yesterday. 1t was a big job,
as the hospital is now composed of
some dozen or more separate build
ings. having room to accommodate
more than 500 patients.
The drill of the Ninth Cavalry on
Thursday night came as a great sur
prise to both officers and enlisted men,
II took place shortly after o'clock
and was a bleak, drear, pitch dark
night, when suddenly the bugle's shril
blast gave the signal ito arms" In
thirty-two minutes the entire squad
ron was mounted and fully equipped
to go into action. Major Bigelow ex-
pressed himself as highly pleased with
the work of his command.
Colonel E. H. Crowder called on
General Macarthur yesterday morn
ing and for more than two hours the
officers were closeted in close conver-
sation. Naturally much was to be
discussed about Colonel Crowder's trip
to Japan and Russia, and the exist
ing state of affairs in the East.
The transport Dix. which was de-
tanned for thirteen days by rough
weather on the Columbia bar. arrived
yesterday. A big gang of carpenters
will at once be put to work building
stalls for the 230 mules that she is to
take to the Philippines.
The transport Buford arrived late
last night from Portland. She will go
alongside the transport dock this
morning and at once be placed in con-
dition to receive the 500 marines, who
will be brought down from Mare ISL
and as soon as she is ready to receive
them. She will go to Manila.
The Twenty-eighth Infantry went
through full regimental drill yester-
day morning on the parade ground in
front of the general hospital buildings.
The drill was a hard one, but the men
showed themsel- J up to high stand
ard of excellence.
Major Parker w. West entertained
Colonel Crowder, Captain March and
a number of other officers informally
at dinner at a downtown restaurant

HEINZE LOSES
IN HIS BATTLE
Circuit Court of Appeals
Decides He Must Permit
Inspection of His Mines
NO ESCAPING THE FINE
Prison Doors Will Close
Upon the Millionaire If
He Persists in Defiance

The United States Circuit Court of
Appeals yesterday dismissed the appeal
of F. Augustus Heinze, Josiah H. Tre-
rise and Alfred Frank, found guilty by
the United States Circuit Court for
the District of Montana of contempt
for having violated an order permit
ting the inspection and survey by the
Butte and Boston Consolidated Mining
Company of certain underground work.
ings from the Rarus, Johnstown and
Pennsylvania claims beneath the sur
face Of the Michael Dewitt claim owned
by the Butte and Boston Company.
1t was contended that the court had
no Jurisdiction to review the Judgment
of the Circuit Court in this case.
Judges Gilbert, Ross and Morrow, be-
fore whom the matter was argued,
handed down an opinion yesterday ad-
verse to the appellants. In quoting
from the contempt case of Dewitt the
court says:
They carry the keys OF their prison in their
own pockets. Courts established to de-
by peaceable discussions under the law instead
o. by the wages Of battle. They are not in
fsllible, but no better method OF determining
adverse claims has yet been devised
No constitutional right is denied to the ap-
pellants in this They are not required
to furnish evidence against themselves. They
are simply to unbar their doors, stand and
allow the representatives of the complainant
TO ascertain whether in the depths below the
surface of their own property the defendant
in the suit in which this controversy has
arisen is not engaged In extracting and carry
ing away the wealth of the property. The
complainant is simply asking to be allowed
would be miserable failure of justice If the
court has not the power to enforce obedience
TO its orders in such proceeding.
The court below in its judgment Of contempt
found as a fact that Heinze. Frank and
Trerise had full knowledge and notice of the
order of inspection and its terms. and during
all the times mentioned in the order they were
able to comply with its terms.
The conclusion we reach is that the judg-
seek to have reviewed upon the present writ
of error is a judgment in a civil proceeding;
that it is remedial and coercive In its execu-
tion and that II has been entered by the court
for the purpose Of enforcing the private rights
of the complainant judcially determined in
its favor, and that the appellants subject
10 its terms and conditions. 1t follows that
II is a judgment that cannot be reviewed upon
this writ Of error and the writ Of error is
therefore dismissed at appellants costs
The Montana court has fined Heinze
and his associates $4,000 each, and has
sentenced them to. be imprisoned until
the fine shall have been paid and until
they shall have obeyed the order of
the court. They were released from
custody pending the appeal.
