MANNING THE STATIONS.
Discipline Aboard Ship at Sea In
Times Of Emergency.

Discipline Aboard Ship at Sea In
Times Of Emergency.
At no time is the perfect organiza-
ton aboard ship so we'll illustrated as
In the time Of an emergency. The
slightest scent Of danger in the wind
must find every man ready. And
every man is ready. Every man has
a number. Every man has a station.
A bell tap may send your dining room
steward off at run just when he is
serving your soup. At the bell tap he
is no longer your steward. He is
"No. 7S'' in the ships emergency or
ganization, and when he gets to his
station he finds Nos. 81, 45, 236, 1T,
24S and some others there to act with
him like machine. Aboard big
ship there are sometimes as many as
sixty stations about the vessel, and at
the sound Of an alarm bell thirty Sec
onds have not elapsed before every
man has responded to his number at
his station and is ready to act, to fight
fire, to man the lifeboats, or what not.
Up in the wheelhouse is further ex-
emplification of what system will do.
Within reach Of the officers are a
dozen contrivances Of machinery that
connect with every part of the ship.
A touch of one lever closes a bulk
head in this or that compartment Of
the hold, touch of another mans all
emergency stations, lever here mans
lifeboat so-and-so, and lever there
mans any one or all. Here is tele-
phone, it's wires extending to every
part of the ship, and an officers voice
carried to a distance station in the
bowels Of the ship is so magnifed
by mechanical means that it can be
heard twenty feet from the receiver
and fairly bellows it's orders.
A sailor or steward never knows at
what minute, day or night, he may be
called to his station. At the sound Of
the signal bell he must be at his post.
There is a drill of some kind every
day aboard ship, but the men never
know whether they are running to a
real fire or only a drill. Boats are un-
covered, falls overhauled, davits swung
out. Every boat must have it's COM
pass, night signals, fresh water and
provisions ready for immediate action.
From the chart room the captain can
start a squad in the most remote part
of the ship simply by pressing a but
ton. and the flashing Of tiny electric
lights faithfully record how every de-
tail of the drill is being carried out.
A chart gives the location of all bulk
heads, and a tiny light sparkles when
this or that water tight compartment
is closed. In case Of collision every
bulkhead below the water line is closed
by turn Of lever in the wheelhouse,
making the modern ship practically
unsinkable.-Van Vliet Aiding in Book
keeper.

IL Was Good Advice.

A wildly turbulent peasant was once
a witness in trial before Chief Baron
O'Grady. The counsel, after Fostering
him for some time, put question to
him which reflected on the witness
character.
IF We ak me that again I'll give ye a
kick in the gobH' was the answer.
The counsel appealed to the court,
stating that an answer was necessary
to his clients case, ending up with
the query, "What would your lordship
advise me to do?"
IF you are resolved to repeat the
question" replied the court, '1'd advise
you to move little from the wit
ness"

He Got the Teacher.

A man called at grammar school in
a large city to see one. of the teachers
and, uncertain just which was the
room he wanted. noted the bell buttons
in the main corridor. He pressed one
of them. His surprise was great when
soon after the sound of the gong chill
dren and teachers fed forth from the
various rooms, all in orderly line and
with no excitement or crowding. The
visitor had pressed the button which
called for the fire alarm drill practice.

He Daxed Lew Wallace.

Shortly after the first success Of
"Ben-Hur" Lew Wallace had occasion
to go over to London and one day
picked up pirated copy Of the novel
at a railroad newsstand. To his
amazement he found the subtitle left
off, a preface interpolated and one Of
the chapters rewritten. Of course he
boiled with rage, and as soon as pos
sible he called on the publisher. That
gentleman coolly admitted his crime
and told Wallace he thought the
amended form better adapted to the
British taste, doncherknow. His gall
was so stupendous that the novelist
was awed and went away without
spilling his gore.

The Poultice Is a Barbaric Relic,

The Poultice Is a Barbaric Relic.
The poultice is a barbarous relic of
the days of witch burning. The typ
ical home poultice is made of f1axseed.
1t Is soggy, unsavory, germ infested
instrument of torture. Clapped upon
the suffering baby's chest, it interferes
with the poor child's breathing, infects
his skin with the germs that cause
pimples and boils and makes him I'M
bearably uncomfortable and unhappy.
The heat in the poultice is it's only
valuable feature. The dampness does
damage, and the haxseed is as inert as
so much sawdust or breakfast food.
Why not use hot water bags or, bet
ter still, hot cloths ?-Delineator.

WOULD UNITE SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA WITH ARIZONA

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17.-State di-
vision agitators are on deck today with
a plan, by means of which they believe
the problem called into existence by
the recent raising of property valua-
ton Of the State Equalization Board
and the cry for statehood in Arizona
both may find satisfaction. The plan
is nothing short Of a merger of the
fourteen counties of Southern Califor-
MIA with the Territory of Arizona to
form a new state, the capital, of
course, to be Los Angeles.
AS an aftermath of the meeting held
yesterday by local taxpayers, at wbich
drastic resolutions condemning the ac-
ton of the equalizers were adopted,
the new plan was preached. Its advo-
Gates are of the opinion that the state

RIOT JURYMEN
FAIL To AGREE

and is said to have devoted most of his
time to making disparaging remarks
about the sugar planters The iurymen
came in and announced that there was
absolutely no possibility of their COM
ing to an agreement, and that further
deliberation would be useless. Judge De
Bolt questioned Foreman Guild and also
several of the other jurymen, including
Jurors Greene and Mott, and they
agreed with the statement of the fore
man, that no good could result from
taking further time. Judge De Bolt,
sizing up the jury, the members of
which looked tired, angry and stub
born, saw that there was no hope of
an acquittal, so he discharged them.
The judge also discharged the ten
defendants, the second mistrial mean
ing that the case against them was
pau. Under the laws of this Territory
the failure of two juries to agree in
criminal case means that the de-
PENDANTS must be discharged. Tt is a
kind of Scotch verdict. The defend.
ants are not acquitted, neither are thew

guilty. If guilty, their guilt is not
proven.
Several times after being given the
case, the jury came back for further
instructions. Monday night the mem
bers sent in to ask the judge if they
could bring in a verdict of unlawful
assembly. The judge informed them
That they could if they chose.
Yesterday morning the jury sent in
to ask if unlawful assembly were a
minor offense. Attorney Lightfoot at
that time was absent from the court
house. The judge waited a few min.
utes for him and then instructed the
jury IN the affirmative. When Light
foot arrived and learned of what had
been done, he protested, claiming that
the punishment for unlawful assembly
IS as heavy as that for riot. The Judge
called the jury back and made the cor
rectlon. He also issued an order that
hereafter attorneys in case NAV not
leave the court house while the court
Is IN attendance, on pain of fine for
contempt of court.
These are the jurors: Joseph Whit
tie, Edmund Johnson, John Trask B.

SITE
NOW BEING
BLASTED
Initial Work on Great
Project Is Under
Way.

Blasting work is being pressed in the
outer portion of the proposed drydock
at Pearl Harbor and in week or so
dredger will be placed opposite the
entrance and the excavation viii be
pressed vigorously. Three feet of the
drydock will extend into the harbor
and therefore all this work will be
done by dredgers, and depth of fifty
feet must be attained throughout. The
Dillingham; company, which has the
subeontract for the drydoek excava-
ton, will work as rapidly as possible
with the exeavating.
Of the 100000 cubic yards of ma
terial to be dredged out in the chan
mel, the Hawaiian Dredging company
has completed all but 10000 yards,
and of the 100000 cubic yards on the
bar or entrance to the channel, $50. 900
yards have yet to be removed. The
contract requires that for every yard
removed from off the bar, two must be
removed in the channel section. For
this 100000 cubic yards in channel
and on the bar, Congress appropriated
100000. This work comprises only
section of the whole contract, which
totals about $780, 900. The present
dredging in the channel is to straigh-
ten it out for navigation purposes, and
the biggest jobs of all will come in
future sections, particularly at Waipio
point.
The big clam shell dredger barge
California, which was launched several
weeks ago, is almost rugged, lacking
only her boom and smokestaek. She
may be ready in about ten days and
will then be towed to Pearl Harbor.
The two dump barges were launched
few days ago. Each has a capacity
of 400 yards each. The launching of
the clam shell barge, the two dump
barges and the oil barge, complete all

Of Flee DIES
OCTOBER
FIRST
Chief Clerkship Will
Soon Cease to
Exist.

The office of Chief Clerk of the Ter
rltory, vacated through the resignation
OF tt. y. Matheson, is pau. It is to b.
entirely abolished, at least for ths
present, arrangements having beer
made which render it unnecessary t.
| make new appointment.
Inc announcement in the ADVERTISE
yesterday that V. L. Boeek had beer
appointed chief clerk was correct al
the time, but change has been made
since. A wireless was sent to Mr.
Boeck, who had applied for the posi-
ton, offering him the chief clerkship
but he IS not to get it, after all, al
though he is to be offered place in
the executive chamber.
The new arrangements contemplate
complete reorganization of the Gov.
ernor's and Seeretary's offices. Hith,
erto the chief clerk has served both
the Governor and the Secretary. It is
now intended that the two Offices shall
be entirely separate and that each
shall have its own staff of clerks. mes
sengers and stenographers. In place of
appointing chief clerk, it is probable
that Claudius Mcbride, the Governor Is
private secretary, will have charge of
the staff of the Governors office and
that Henry o 'Sullivan, now assistant
chief clerk, will oversee the staff of
the Secretary office. It is possible
that additional assistance may be EN-
ployed in one of the offices.
governor Frear stated yesterday af-
ternoon that the work in Secretary
Mott7Smith s office from now on for
some months at least will be consid--
erably lighter than it has been during
several months past. This is largely
on account of the fact that the regis
tration of certificates of Hawaiian
birth by the Secretary S office, which
has recently constituted large pro-
portion of the work, will be pau soon
1t is felt that Henry Sullivan will
have time hereafter to handle much
of the work done now by Mr.. Mathe-
oohs oA1A0 MI AhS1I4dCt poso1DAy WAtu
some assistance, can take care of the
clerical work of the Governor s Of
fee.
Another important change contem-
plated is the removal of Governor
Frear from the Robin IS Egg Blue
chamber to the room now occupied by
Secretary Mott-Smith, while the lat
ter will move into the makai end of
the executive apartments. Governor
Frear states that Secretary Mott-Smith
is now obliged to put in so much of
his time at the offices of the Board
of Health that it does not make any
great difference which room he has.
The room he now occupies is cooler
than that occupied by the Governor.
Mr.. Mott-Smith viii probably take for
his private office the little room in the
makai- Eva corner, using the present"
office of the Governor for his clerical
staff. The Governor will possibly use
the central room that now belongs to
the chief clerk for his clerical staff.
The last mentioned changes, how
ever, will probably not be made until
during the contemplated
absence of the Governor, who expects
to go to Washington some time in Nov
amber.
