WINGFIELD SAID
TO CONTROL THE
MCNAMARA

Word comes from San Francisco to
the effect that the Borax Smith crowd
have been ousted from the control OF
the MacNamara Mining company of
Tonopah and that the Wingheld-Nixon
interests now command the situation.
The report states that at a general meet
ing Of the company held in San Fran
cisco on the 18th, George wingfield was
elected president with the following new
directorate:
j. L. Joseph of Tonopah. wilfred
Page and Dennis Searles of San Fran
cisco, Jas. MACMILLAN of Tonopah and
Mr.. McCutchins and Mr.. Roland.
George wingfeld has been in San
Francisco for the past few days.
For the past six months and over Mac
Namara has been quietly accumulated
by Geo. wingheld and he and his friends
have in fact had control for some time
previous to the general meeting. The
change of directorate with the passing
of control was. il is said, sprung as a
complete surprise on the Borax Smith
people.
For some time there has been a fight
on between Borax Smith and the orig
inal MacNamara crowd in regard to the
proposed consolidation of the Mac
Namara with the West End.
Borax Smith has had a big interest in
both these properties and has been
anxious to see the consolidation ef-
fected. The terms offered to the Mac
Namara people were not, however, sat
isfactory to them and warfare between
them and Borax Smith has in conse-
quence been waging.
The effect of this transfer of control
will apparently either entirely prevent
the proposed combination going through
or change the terms considerably.

5. S. MONGOLIA
INVESTIGATION
SAN FRANCISCO, December L.
Supervising Inspector Birmingham win
reopen the Mongolia inquiry to take
further testimony.

In recommending that the license of
Captain Porter late of the S. s. Mon
golia, be suspended for six months, In
spector Bolles had recommended that
Chief Mate Martin be likewise punished
for his share in the grounding of the
liner on the coral reef at Midway. His
opinion and the dissenting opinion Of
Inspector Bulger in the case have been
made public by U. s. Supervising In
spector Captain John Birmingham,
who is to hear further testimony before
giving his deciding opinion.
In his decision as to Captain Porter.
Inspector Bolles said:
l am satisfied that Captain w. p. s,
Porter was unskilful in navigating the
steamship Mongolia on September Is,
1906. In approaching this island at
right he should have ascertained the
correct position and distance that the
ship was off when he saw the light
from the bridge deck at 1856 D. m. and
not placed so much reliance on his
Judgment Of the distance of the ship
from the island at that time. When
the first mate did not get soundings in
the position the ship should be in by
courses and distances run from point
or departure taken at S:56 p. M, Cap,
tain Porter should have stopped the
vessel dead still in the water and have
ascertained the exact depth of water,
character of bottom and correct bear
ing of light.
l am of the opinion that il Chief
officer Martin got these soundings
which he swears he did, If he knew his
| business he 70
of water with 107 fathoms of wire
and Immediately thereafter he got bot
tom with fifty fathoms of wire, in
stead of waiting eight minutes to reel
in the line, examine the,llead and the
patent recorder, it was his place to
nave telephoned or gone in person to
the bridge and notified the captain that
the water was rapidly shoaling. BY SO
doing that would have saved the Nom
solia from stranding, as the evidence
proves that she did not take the bot
tom until seventeen minutes after he
says he took this cast, and that he was
getting ready to take another one when
she grounded.
/ am also of the opinion that the
steamer was on soundings for one hour
before she grounded, this being con-
ilrned by the bearings laid off on the
chart by Captain Porter; also that Mr..
Martin got bottom and did not know
1t and by his negligence or inexperience
In using the deep sea sounding machine
he misled Captain Porter, causing the
Mongolia to ground and the loss to
Captain Porter of the command of one
of the finest steamers in the world, the
Mongolia being 615 feet long, of 1880
gross tons. The evidence shows, and it
was admitted by Mr.. Martin when the
captain accused him of being inexperi-
enced, that he could not rig a burton
to jettison the coal when the steamer
was on the reef. Second Mate Cahill
admitted that he did not know how to
use the deep-sea sounding machine.

Campbell. according to McStocker
met a woman in Kaneohe on Tuesday
who was looking for work and who
answered the description of the miss
ing Mrs. Goodwin as published in yes

This information came to hand toe
late yesterday to allow of Mr.. Camp
bell being interviewed.
During the day another gentleman
who does not care to have his name
mentioned, called at the Advertiser Of

ike uTS. STOOuWlfl anu wearing d DTOdC

of friend of his, who also prefers
his identity to remain unknown, unless
absolutely necessary, on the side of the

There was no work to offer but the
woman stayed with the family over
night and the next morning the man
Of the house drove her to town.
He let her off the rig on Nuuanu
avenue where the carline terminates
and on looking back the last he saw OF
her was as she was walking toward
the stream.
Unless she found shelter somewhere
the unfortunate woman must have been
exposed to the unusually heavy rains
which fell on Wednesday.
According to the Kaneohe man, the
woman was acting nationally but seem
ed to have set her mind on obtaining
something to do.
If Mrs. Goodwin has not committed
suicide it is probable that she is being
detained at some place in town.
The police have not even a clue.

had been called to consider the feas-
Utility Of holding panpacific exhibit
ton in Honolulu some time in the fu-
ture and this matter as well as others
concerning the future welfare of the
city was gone into.
During the discussion the Governor
pointed out that the geographical posi-
ton OF Hawaii in relation to the va
rious countries bordering on the Pacific
was such that Honolulu might be made
n city of great storehouses, where the
vessels of all nations might call for
cargoes. Vessels coming here for SUI
gar or other commodity could bring
cargoes from their home ports instead
Of coming In ballast, while other ves-
sells, such as those from Newcastle,
could carry out cargoes from our ware
houses instead Of going away. as they
do now. In ballast.
The Governor was also In favor of
working for a Consular Convention
with whatever other additional fea-
lures might be thought wise.
The matter of identifying the water
front was touched on. and an effort
will be made to secure an appropriation
from the Legislature for that purpose.
