LOCAL BOARD
OF INSPECTORS

SAN FRANCISCO, August 23:-As a
result of Secretary of Commerce and
Labor Oscar Straus' recent trip to
Honolulu, it is the opinion of the
local Inspectors of Hul1s and Boilers
that board will be appointed for that
port. Inspectors John &. Bulger and
O. F. BolIes have just returned from
trip to the islands, and they say the
Secretary was much impressed with the
need of corps of inspectors there.
This will do away with the sending Of
men from San Francisco to take care
of the work of the department in the
islands. Captain Birmingham, local su-
pervisor, says that he expects word
from Washington any day to appoint
men for the places at Honolulu.

HART NAMED
IN EVIDENCE
at Fire Inquest
Makes Some Strong
Insinuations.

Some important evidence was
brought out at The second session of
the fire inquest held to look into the
cause of the recent government kero-
sene warehouse blaze, which convened
again yesterday afternoon. The evi-
dence showed some peculiar things in
relation to the receipt book and the
orders of the Standard Oil Company,
one witness stating that in his opin-
ion the orders of the company had
been partly taken away by whoever
started the fire and that the others,
the ones left behind at that time, had
been tampered with. AT the time they
are supposed to have been tampered
with. in the opinion of the witness,
these orders We're in the possession of
Lionel r. A Hart, clerk in the
Standard Oil office.
In aditidon to this, the same wit
ness, G. B. Reynolds, the government
caretaker at the warehouse, stated that
there was a great discrepancy between
the amount of oil delivered by him on
orders originally received since the fire
and up to the date when Hart got
possession of the orders and the
amount of oil called for by the orders
of those dates returned to him as the
same originals by Hart. The whole
matter Of the shortage in the amount
of oil in the warehouse, according to
the drift of the evidence taken yes
terday, seems to be connected with the
disappearance of the Standard Oil
storage book and the missing Standard
Oil delivery orders.
Some preliminary evidence in regard
to the putting ont of the fire, the dis
covery of the blaze, the sending in of
the alarm and the condition of fhi1gs
as found by the 1iremen was saken
yesterday, among the witnesses being
Assistant Chief Deering of the fire de-
partment, r. Kinney and Raymond
DuvaucheIe, the latter two having
been the first men at the fire.
The evidence given by Reynolds was,
in brief, as follows:
The upper room of the warehouse,
where the books and papers We're kept.
was in no way burglar proof. Here
the powder book and the Standard Oil
storage book We're left on Saturday,
the storage book beneath the powder
book on the desk. The original orders
from the Standard Oil office were left
in drawer on Saturday night, these
orders having been in a separate bum
die to the other orders on file. On
Monday morning, after the fire, he
found that the storage book had dis
although the one lying on
top of it on the table had been only
partially burned. The baize cover OF
the table on the spot where he had
left the two books, had not burned, |
showing that the book underneath
should have been little damaged by the
fire. All the original orders for oil OF
the STANDARD people for the month OF
july and of August up to the time or
the fire had gone, although all the
other orders in the drawer We're ur1-
harmed by the fire and only slightly
liscolored by the water.

PRESIDENT
ALARMED
Financial Situation Is
Causing Worry at
Oyste: Bay.
lMail Special to the Advertiser. }


WASHINGTON, D. c., August 18.-
Perhaps during ali of President Roose
welt s two administrations the country
has not been shaken SO much by condi-
tiens and by rumors as during ths last
seven days. There has been outward
calm at Oyster Bay, although peculiar
reports have emanated as the result
of a cabinet meeting there Tuesday
Washington, too, has been calm al
! though the trip of Secretary of War
Taft here and the visit of Speaker
Cannon at the same time caused po-
litical ferment. New York has been a
scene of even more unusual activity and
it seemed as though the business world
there was trying to turn somersault.
The upheaval appears traeeable to
the attacks on corporations. That
is about the phrase one hears most fire.
quently to describe the rage with which
the fines on the Standard Oil trust and
the announcement of Attorney General
Bonaparte that he proposed trying to
get a trust magnate behind the bars
have been received. John D. Rockefeller
gave out an interview, declaring that
the confidence of the business world had
been destroyed by the administration s
repeated attacks on corporations. Not
long afterward Wall Street proceeded
to have fit. Stocks began to sink
lower and lower and the prophets say
are going lower yet. Money has been
tightening everywhere A few failures
of some Importance have been recorded.
The financial, rather than the busi-
ness, conditions are bad. Men are grow
ing uneasy about them, Notwithstanding
the fact that the country is full of
money. Whether the situation is really
portentous o. not, conservative men
hesitate to say.
THE PRESIDENT ALARMED.
1t has been widely printed that the
President is alarmed and that he called |
several members of his eabinet-Secre-
taries Root and Taft and Postmaster
General Meyer-to Oyster Bay to talk
over the financial outlook and to see
whether he could do anything to ease
the situation. That report has never
been verified. It was printed by a
newspaper that is notoriously unfriend
" to the President. It's proprietor
bears Secretary Root an ancient
grudge. The latter was reported to
have conferred with bankers and fnan
;iers in New York before he went to
Oyster Bay, although he denied that
n the most emphatic terms. At the
same time there was report that the
President was aweary of Secretary
Root s affiliations with corporations and
preferred that he should get out of the
,abinet, taking Assistant Secretary of
State Robert Bacon, who was class
nate of the President at Harvard, with
li1n. This, too, was denied by Secre
airy Loeb at Oyster Bay and by Seere- :
AIRY Root in person at New York.

A Mutineer
Is Hanged
ODESSA, August 31.-Matushenko,
the leader of the Potemkin mutiny, was
hanged yesterday.

The mutiny of the Russian sailors OF
the XMAS Potemkin occurred while
that battleship was in the Black Sea
in July. 1905. The crew rose against
their officers. killed the captain and
some others, sailed TO Odessa and bonn
barded the city. The mutineers were
ioined by 5000 marines and sailors and
a desperate battle took place at Libau,
the Odessa harbor. Finally the mutt
neers surrendered their vessel at Ba-
tourn. Roumania, the men being given
I'D to the Russian Government. The
mutiny was one Of the most startling
features of the Russian revolts during
that year.

CONTRACT COMES
FOR REUTER-
San Francisco Manager Offers
Big Pitcher a Place on His
String OF TWirlers.

Pitcher r. P. Reuter- will be handed
a contract this morning for his sig
nature. If he takes his pen in hand
and subscribes his name to the docu-
ment he will belong to the San Fran
cisco baseball team and be on the
same pitching staff as Barney Joy.
The contract came last night to
Charley Falk, who will hand it over
to Reuter- this morning. 1t offers the
big man of the Kams the same salary
that Barney received when he first
went to the Coast, one hundred ard
fifty month and expenses when on
the road. 1t is now up TO Reuter-.
Commenting on the fact that Man
/ ager Long, of the Seals, was after
Reuter-, q Coast sporting writer says:
Danny Longs first taste Of Honolulu
talent was SO delicious that he has
| passed his plate out for another helping.
/ This translated means that he is ne
gotiating for another Barney Joy.
There is a pitcher on the islands who
stands six feet in his stockings, weighs
200 pounds, and hurls ball SO fast
that it resembles pea passing the
plate. This the sort of pitcher Long
is more than willing to experiment with
next year. Barney Joy wised his man
ager up to the new prodigy, who has al
ready been written to about playing in
the Pacific Coast League. At the re-
quest of Long big Barney mailed let
ter on the last steamer asking if he
would consider an offer to play with
San Francisco. Joy said yesterday that
he thought Reuter-, for this is his name,
would come through with the big
eyes. The following is a little boost
which Barney put in for the young
pitcher: Reuter- has pitched a lot of
bali on the islands, and I have little fear
about him not making good. He is a /
motorman on one of the railroads, but
pitches game a week at least. He is
half Hawaiian, weighs fully two hun
dred pounds, and throws ball as far
as the next one. He is NJ southpaw, !
and when 1 left home he had as nice /
control as any pitcher l ever saw work.
1t is not sure that he would want to
come to the Coast, but l have written
to him to consider an offer. / have /
told him what great country this is
for baseball, and here is where he can
get the money. / think I viii be able
to get him for San Francisco for next
season, and I ought to receive a letter
from Reuter- on the next steamer. By
the way, have caught Reuter- in mum
Der of games and pitched against him
in others. You never saw me catch?
Well. 1 can slam them down to second
a bit. Catching used to be my long
suit -
WILL KEEP BARNEY TOO.
"We viii do everything we can to
hold Barney Joy for next year" said
President Ish of the San Francisco club.
4 have advised Danny Long that the
:lub wants to retain Barney if it can.
We won t sell him, and we will take a
chance of him being drafted. 7 sup
pose we could sell Barney for $4,000,
out he viii be worth that much to US
f we can hold him. They can only !
lraft one player, and we viii run the I
.isk that that one is some other. Bar /
ley we want for ourselves.

MERCHANTS
ARE ANGRY
Roast Those Responsible
for Attempt to Cut
Out Steamship.

cit seems to me that this only goes
to show the truth of the reports we
hear all the time on the streets, that
the sugar interest is the only interest
/ that gets any consideration in these
nlatters,'' said E. A. MeInerny toward
| the end of the meeting of the Mer-
chants Association, called yesterday to
take action in the matter of passing a
resolution endorsing the project to Sc
cure drydock for Pearl Harbor. That
resolution was adopted all right, but the
question of the adoption of the report
of the special committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce, in which it was sta
ted that the Sugar Factors had asked
for the withdrawal of the direct steam
er from Salina Cruz to Honolulu, was
the main issue of the meeting after it
had been called. Over this matter the
various members of the Association dis
played considerable heat, denouncing
the persons and organizations which
had taken it upon themselves to move
in the matter and who had ignored the
merchants altogether.
cit is the most outrageous and high
handed proceeding 1 ever heard of, -
said Mr.. MeInerny, "for any man or
men to ask any steamship company to
so alter their schedule
cit seems just as ridiculous to ask
that vessel be held up at San Diego
for quarantine after having been given
clean bill of health by the Federal
authorities at Salina Cruz, as it would
be TO hold vessel up at San Francisco,
after being passed by DIR. Cofer here,
because it had not been again inspected
and fumigated at Sausalito," said
George W. Smith.
E'The merchants have been entirely
ignored in all the arranging of sched- !
ules. If there were more harmony be- /
tween the different commercial organi- /
zations of this city-without mention
ing any names-things could be arrang- /
ed better" was the contribution deliv- I
cred by F. W. Waldron.
"If we cannot protect ourselves
against one vessel from Salina Cruz,
what are we going to do when the
Panama canal is opened! I regard the
cable sent to Washington as a reflection
IN the health authorities of Washing
-on. We don t want to lay ourselves
liable to yellow fever. but we can
safely rely on the Federal inspection
md fumigation to protect US. Why
should we hold up our hands in holy

Pointer for Husbands.

When you have married your wife,
you would think you We're got upon a
hilltop, and might begin to go down
ward by an easy slope. But you have
only ended counting to begin marriage.
Falling in love and winning love are
often difficult tasks to overbearing and
rebellious spirits; but to keep in love
is also a business Of some Importance,
to which both man and wife must bring
kindness and goodwill. The true love
story commences at the altar, when
there lies before the married pair a
most beautiful contest of wisdom and
generosity, and lifelong struggle to-
ward an unattainable ideal. Unattain-
able? Aye, surely unattainable, from
the very fact that they are two in
stead of one.-R. L. Stevenson.
