Senator Clark s steamship PROPOSE

''The steamship line to the Orient,

S. S. MONGOLIA
INVESTIGATION
SAN FRANCISCO, December L.
Supervising Inspector Birmingham will
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 s'x 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 he case have been
made public by u. 3. 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:
/ am satisfied that Captain w. p s.
Porter was uDskilful in navigating the
steamship Mongolia on September Is,
1866. 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 8:56 p. 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
of 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
i am of the opinion that IL Chief
officer Martin got these soundingS
which he swears he did, if he knew his
business when he got forty fathoms
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 lead 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 Mon
golia 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.
1 am also of the opinion that the
steamer was on soundings for one hour
before she grounded, this being con-
firmed by the bearings laid off on the
chart by Captain Porter; also that Mr..
Martin got bottom and did not know
it and by his negligence or inexperienee
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 els feet long, Of 1850
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 burton
to jettison the coal when the steamer
was the reef. Second Mate Cahili
a Omitted that he did not know how to
use the deep-sea sounding machine.

FRUIT VIA TEHUANTEPEC.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 21.-A number of
business men and citrus fruit growers
who are interested in the building up
of that industry are planning to make
shipments to the Atlantic seaboard by

with the management of the Tehuan-

UNMOVED
Alleged Slayer of Kan
Chin Shows no
Emotion.

The alleged Waipahu murderer, Kee
| Long, appeared before Judge Whitney
for a preliminary hearing yesterday
| morning. There was nothing in his
appearance to show that he stands
charged with the most serious of
crimes as he stood up yesterday to
hear the charge read against him. He
appears to be one of the 1n1ldest of
men and either from ignorance or
apathy took little interest in the pro-
ceedings. The charge was interpreted
for him by the court interpreter but
not a muscle of his face moved nor did
the expression change particle at any
stage of the proceedings.
County Attorney Douthitt and his
assistant Frank Andrade, were present
for the prosecution and R. w. Breck-
ons appeared for the defense. The case
was adjourned for one week in spite
of the strenuous objections of the de-
fendants counsel, who demanded a
speedy hearing that his client could
know whether he was to be charged
finally with murder or manslaughter
and if admissible for bail.
There was the usual busy time in
the court, the day not being long
enough to hear all the cases appear
ing on the calendar. There was an
unusual lot of delays and Interruptions
during the morning session. the papers
not being at hand when wanted, the
witnesses failing to appear on time and
the Portuguese interpreter being who'll
ly out of reach just when he was nee
essary. Prosecutor Andrade was jolt
ed out of his usual suave and easy
manner on several occasions because
of this and finally had to act as inter
prefer himself in one of the cases.
This was the matter OF the sale Of
liquor to an interdicted person by Sing
10y, proprietor of the Sing 10y saloon
rear the market. Sing is a white hair
ed patriarch, benign and smiling, but
that did not prevent the court from
soaking him S100 and costs.
This case had been worked up by
Detective Harry Lake. of the County
Attorneys department, who had en-
listed Frank Peterson, alias Manuel de
Rigo and two or three other names.
as an ally Peterson is an habitual
drunkard and bum with nose that
must have cost a fortune to acquire.
AS a genuine, twenty carat brandy
blossom it was IN a class all by itself.
Peterson has frequently been in court
and has a long string of convictions
for drunkenness against him.
Lake admitted that he had staked
Peterson to two bits to buy wine from
Sing 10y and had accompanied him
to the saloon to see that the money
was properly spent. It had been de-
sired to put Peterson on the stand first,
but the Portuguese interpreter had

The Los Angeles Chamber of Com
meree committee, which is arranging
a business mems excursion TO Hawaii
this winter. is going to make the trip
on a special steamer. The Pacific
Coast S. S. Company has been ap-
preached on the subject. The Los
Angeles people have an idea that it
would be appropriate to leave direct
for Honolulu from San Pedro, a first
practical demonstration that that har-
Dor is the right one to use on an oc-
casion of this kind. Los Angeles is
now making an effort to annex San
Pedro and adjacent towns SO that San

TWO MORE PRECINCTS.

Two more precincts had their votes
counted yesterday-those Of Vineyard
street and Pauoa. In the judicial count
of the former the rivals broke even
with four votes each adjudged Illegal.
In the Pauoa count eight votes for
Iaukea were adjudged improperly
counted, against five for Brown. AS
until then Brown was only one vote
behind, the Pauoa result put him two
votes ahead of Iaukea. AS the Irish
man would say, He was first at last
where he had been behind before
When it came 20 taking up the Pauoa
precinct there was a pitched forensic
battle between W. A. Kinney. on be-
half of Iaukea, objecting to any fur
ther counting, and Geo. D. Gear. on
behalf of Brown. insisting that the
count should go on.
1t was a. critical juncture and the
courts ruling to take up Pauoa precinct
was not unanimous. Justice HartWeli
dissented from it.

WIRELESS DID GOOD WORK.
Materially Aided Admiral Togo to
Crush Rojestvensky.

Wireless telegraphy played most
important part in the great naval en-
gagement between the Russian and
Japanese ships in the. late war A
Japanese writer says that at the time
of the battle of the Sea of Japan the
weather was foggy and hazy to such
an extent that it was impossible to see
for distance greater than five miles.
A japanese scout cruiser, while
searching for the Russian fleet, sud-
denly found herself, when the fog had
lifted, Unexpectedly for moment;
practically in the midst of the numer;
GUS vessels of the enei.y. A wireless
message was at once transmitted Civ
ing notice of the discovery, and this
message was simultaneously received
by all the vessels of the Japanese
squadron, Notwithstanding that these
were some $50 miles distant.
Admiral Togo Immediately dis
patched a squadron of scouts, which
kept in touch with the enemy, and in
formed him at five 4. tie intervals of
the course, speed, position and loca-
ton of the Russians, with such accu-
racy that Admiral Togo was able to
forecast with absolute precision the
actions of the enemy.
1t was through wireless communi-
cation alone that it was possible for
the Japanese commander to maneuver
and to place his fleet to enable him
to strike the enemy most advan-
