SAN SALVADOR
ADMIRAL HERE
w. H. Moore. a Former Naval
Officer in Central America.
on Oil Steamer.

Few places, ports or anchorages in
the world there are where ". Fl.
Moore, second mate Of the oil steamer
". 5. Porter, has not been, and the
tale OF his voyages and experiences,
his ups and downs, and, in fact, his
whole life,is as interesting as the most
fascinating story ever written. 1t was
only a few months ago that Second
Mate Moore was Admiral Moore, COM
mander-in-chief Of the entire navy Of
San Salvador, IN Central America, and
the narrative of how he was offered
$4,000 by the revolutionists. if he
would merely take his ships outside of
the harbor, thus leaving the capital of
the fermented little republic unprotect-
ed, and how finally he was thrown into
prison by the government officials and
kept IN dark dungeon for over fifty
days. is like an extract from highly
imaginative story.
But 1t was ali too true in the case
OF ex-Admiral Moore. He went through
some terrible experiences, because of
the false accusation of treason against
him, and he viii not soon forget the
time he was a flag officer.
Moore Is Good Officer.
Moore is at present very reluctant
to tell of his trials and tribulations,
and his share in Central American
revolution. The Coast papers, accord
ing TO his statements, misrepresented
some of the details Of his troubles in
San Salvador. and he does not care to
have them aired any more than pos.
sible He is attending to his duties
on the Associated Oil steamer now, has
been with her for some months past,
and is a well-liked officer. He is a
very competent man IN the practise of
his profession, having followed the sea
for the greater part OF his life.
Accused Of Treason.
"T was selected as commander-in
chief of the navy Of San Salvador,

everything went all right. I was draw

Admiral Moore spent a number OF
years IN the British Navy, being sta

BARKENTINE, PROBABLY
CORONADO, IS SIGHTED.

Ten miles east and coming
rapidly in, a barkentine was
sighted shortly before dark last
night. She is probably the
American barkentine Coronado,
according to the man on watch
at the pilot house last night.
Captain Potter, in command of
the Coronado, sailed from San
Francisco for this port on Jan
uary 10, and, if the vessel turns
out this morning to be the we'll
known barkentine, Potter will
have made a fairly good pas
sage. Heavy seas and stormy
weather have been the order of
the day for some weeks past,
and steam vessels have been de-
layed on this account.

Is Amateur Photographer.


During the time Moore has been an
officer on the w. S Porter, he has
amused himself with three cameras,
with which he has taken numerous ex-
cellent pictures, showing the Porter
wallowing deep in the trough of heavy
seas. He also has a number of clear
views of the oil-steamer at Gaviota,
with the shore line and rocky noun
tains showing distinct behind. An
other picture which the amateur pho
tographer snapped shows the Porter at
the Linnton oil docks, not far from
Portland, Oregon, on the Willamette
river Sill another displays the steam
err at Nome. Alaska, at the famous
Treadwell Mine docks. In the back
ground and looming up like some
titanic white monster is a great lee
glacier, wedged in between two great
snow-eapped mountains.
Some time ago when the Porter was
on her regular trip to Alaska she, with
number of other vessels, was caught
in a river freeze-up that at times
threatened seriously the safety of the
vessel. Great hunks of ice, some Of
them towering thirty feet in the air,
shot down with the swift river current
making passage practically impossible.
For days at a time the steamships
would be forced to lie powerless in
the stream, the ice freezing itself solid
and fast to their sides When the
breakup came, it was very difficult
and exceedingly dangerous to pilot the
vessels in and out, back and forward,
in order to escape the seemingly end

Repeats
His Previous
Successes

At the second assembly Of the sea-
son. given last evening at the Fair
mont. Edward NJ. Greenway repeated
the success that belongs to every dance
under his patronage. The Greenway
dances have an inimitable way of be-
ing the most delightful affairs, and
each succeeding dance increases in
favor among the fortunate guests.
Greenway is a favored host by tradi-
ton, but his dances always have the
indispensable spirit of gayety that
comes from a real enthusiasm among
the merry makers. The debutantes al
ways enjoy the best time" at the
Greenway dances from their point of
view. but the older people are quite as
devoted to the series this winter, as
was evidenced last evening by the
number of matrons in their handsome
gowns
The gowns were worthy of more than
passing mention, since several of the
handsome creations were unusual in
coloring and design. All the favorite
and various shades of the season were
worn in their exquisite variety, from
the deepest cerise to the pale pastel
SnadeS that have vogue this winter.
The younger girls, of course, wore the
popular white and gold, and occasion
ally a pretty debutante in pale blue
was a relief in a group of white gowns.
DINNER PARTIES PRECEDE DANCE
The dinner parties are ever an inn
portant part of the Greenway dance
and the attendant festivity. A number
of elaborate parties were enjoyed pre-
ceding the dance, but among the
unique events and one that occasioned
much gossip anent its unusual appoint
ments was the dinner given by Mr..
and Mrs. Andrew Welch Jr. at the
Fairmont.
Mr.. and Mrs. WEIGH entertained at
"Hiawatha dinner" given in the gray
room at the Fairmont, where all the
decorations were of Indian design or
association. The baskets for the floral
adornment and the favors were of In
dian workmanship, and even the menu
was of Indian suggestion. The affair.
with all its primitive significance, was
elaborate and enjoyed by more than
a score of guests. Among those at the
Indian feast We're:

Of many OF the members that
an attempt was being made to limit the

acrimonious discussion marked the open

the recommendation OF a commission that
the convention endorse the idea OF a fed
eral law giving the Interstate Commerce
commission authority to prescribe uni
formity In classification for interstate traf-
fle and urging state commissioners to
make exceptions sparingly. Commissioner
Gothiin Of Ohio commended that those who
voted for the report bound themselves 10
maintain the classification fixed by the
commission on intrastate shipments. He
was supported by Commissioner Burr OF
Florida.
Commissioner Clark of the Interstate
commission and chairman OF the commit
tee which made the report declared the
Ohio COMMISSIONS was unfair in placing
such an Interpretation upon the report
He said the committee simply desired &c
call attention to the necessity Of excep-
tons not being made.
