How the Drawback to Such Car Has
Been Overcome in Bavaria.

One of the drawbacks Of the self

tanned. This statement may at first
sight appear little dense. but every
type OF selfcontained motor car has
the same disadvantage, this disadvan-
ta%e being in the fact that the motive
power and the car body are practically
lnSeparable and it is impossible to
care for the former in the same place
and manner as other locomotive
power on the road is cared for. 1t is
also necessary TO put the whole car
out of commission whenever the mo-
tive power needs attention.
This disadvantage has been over
come by the Bayayian state RAILWAYS
in manner which would seem adapt
able anywhere. The Bavarlan govern
ment has been operating self-contained
motor cars for number OF years and
hnding the above stated condition to
be great disadvantage. has discou-
tinued the building OF the self-con.

simply amounts to separating the mo

the former Of being taken care of in

ENGLISH BARONET WAS
KILLED BY HEAT
Second Inquest Over Body of
Stepney Reyerses Verdict

YUMA, Ariz., July 3.-A second coro-
ners inquest was held today over the
remains of Sir Arthur coweH Stepney.
baronet of England, who died suddenly
at the southern Pacific station here
yesterday.
Five witnesses were examined whose
testimony entirely nuIlified the decision
Of the first inquest jury that the death
of the nobleman had been caused by
the use of alcoholic stimulants. 1t
was proved that he had suffered greatly
from the heat after arriving here, and
that this, coupled with a weak heart
action, had caused his sudden end.
Examination of the papers found
among the dead mans luggage shows
him to have been born in Germany of
English parentage about 20 years ago.
He was naturaIized American citizen,
his papers having been taken out in
Los Angeles in 1906.
No letters from relatives have been
found among his possessions. but a
mass of correspondence mainly upon
scientific subjects shows him to have
been an entomologist of note brought
to the desert at this season by the de-
sire to increase an already extensive
collection of beetles. No replies have
been received to cables sent yesterday
to the London solicitors, pending which
the body is being held at a local un-
dertaker's establishment.

Passengers on City of Para See
Central American Justice

Although there is no war for the
time being along the Central Ameri-

thing of novelty for the traveller from
more orthodox lands. The City of
Para, which arrived here yesterday,
brings word that the United States has
begun a vigorous hunt in Nicaragua
for the person of John Moissant.
At Corinto the passengers witnessed
the unceremonious deportation of five
undesirable visitors; they saw Guate-

BOULEVARD MAY
Be READY TODAY
Delay Between County Line and
Colma Attributed to Quality
of Oil
Supervisor Casey Promises to
Rush Work When Board
Makes Appropriation

It now looks as If the boulevard from
San Francisco to colma may be opened
today; so say the contractors who
have been working on that section
of the road, between the county line
and the town of Colma. The delay, the
contractors say, has been caused by the
heavy quality of oil that has been sent
out in the tank car. They say that II
is so heavy that the engines that were
sent out to heat it up did not have
steam enough, but more powerful en-
CINE had to be sent out to try again.
What was seen of the oil on the boule-
ward recently showed that 1t remained
on the surface and did not run in. This
was noticeable where wagons had
passed and the wheels had picked up
strips.
A. B. Watson of the Automobile Club
of California, who has been responsible
for the raising of the funds to put the
road into shape, states that the
oil is not heavy, but is the kind that
has been used successfully in other
parts of the state. Jim Casey, the
supervisor who is doing the work, says
that the workmen have not been able
to get the tank OF oil hot enough to
pump it out.
On other sections of the county
road under Casey's supervision little
work is being done. Casey states that
as soon as the board this month makes
its appropriation for the road work for
the year he will start in way that
will be satisfactory to every one who
wants the roads improved.
The end of the boulevard that is in
South City is to be fixed. A. Hynding
chairman of the board Of trustees, said
yesterday that work on that section
would be commenced not later than
next Wednesday. The only reason why
the work had not been started before
he said. was that the trustees wish to
do the work and not let it out by con-
tract They have been waiting for a
legal opinion from their attorney as
to the legality OF the scheme. 1t is
expected that he will render an opin-
ION at the next meeting of the board
and that work will commence within
As hours after the meeting. The
South City officials are also going
to improve the road from the bou-
levard that turns to the left and
runs through their city and out to the
junction with the county road at the
Fourteen Mile house.

HUMAN FISH IS
HANDY ON VOYAGE
William KeOla, Deckhand on the
City of Para, Twice Clears
Clogged PropelIers
Boldly Dives and Works Among
Sharks and Saves Much
Time and Money

William Keola, seaman on the City
of Para, was born and reared in the
Hawaiian islands, where his early
training as human fish qualified
him for the stunts whereby he enter
tanned the passengers and twice in
one voyage saved the Pacific Mail COM
pany the expense of delay and the cost
of hiring either diver or a drydock.
On board the Para, which arrived last
evening from the isthmus, they will
tell you that Keola. who rates as a
deckhand, is the most daring diver
that ever hobnobbed with sharks,
blanket fish and submerged propellers.
When the City of Para was at An
con the Costa Rica's propeller picked
up one of the Para's mooring lines.
The accident was not noticed until the
line had taken eight turns around the
propeller, which on the eighth turn
was practically dashed to a standstill.
After watching the ineffectual at
tempts that were being made to clear
the blade, Keola told Captain Nelson
OF the Para that he thought he could
get the wheel clear. Captain Nelson
communicated with the Costa Rica's
skipper and 10 minutes later Keola.
with knife in his teeth, dived in
among the sharks, swan to the Costa
RIGA and went to work.
He STAYED under water for three min
utes at a stretch. His breathing spells
were short, and in an hour or so he had
cut the line away and cleared the Costa
Rica's wheel.
At Corinto it was the City of Para
that got into trouble by picking up with
its propeller length of wire cable. This
could not be cut with a knife, but
K cola was ready to tackle the job. He
worked all night and part of the next
morning andNfinally succeeded.
Keola is muscular kanaka who
served in volunteer regiment during
the Spanish war. The only thing he
fears, he says. is cold water. Diving in
the tropics is fun, he says. While under
the water, both at Panama and Corinto,
sharks swan near him all the time, but
a shark, he says, will never bother a
man as busy as he was during both sub
marine visits.
