BEACH BECOMING
LONG BLACK LINE
The HeIga's Coal Causing More
"Higherups" May
Be Arrested.
(FrOm Wednesday Advertlser.l

Attorney Douthitt yesterday waived
preliminary hearing in the district
court in the case of his client, Manuel
Silva, charged with larceny in the first
degree after "stealing" some coal that
has been washed out of the wrecked
barkentine Helga.
While claiming that it is a test case
the prosecution is evidently desirous of
avoiding the odium of picking out the
man the least able to stand the ex-
pense of being "tested" and accord
ing to statements yesterday, several
more arrest will be made this week.
One of the "goats" is none other
than Arthur NJ. Brown, prosecuting Of
ficer for the city in the police court.
Mr.. Brown has the misfortune of own
ing property on the beach upon which
a quantity of timber has drifted. Thus
Mr.. Brown is "purloiner" and sub
iect TO emulation of Mr.. Silva's ex-
ample in getting arrested.
Captain Wall is expected to swear to
these warrants as he did to that against
Manuel Silva, thus relieving Capt. Fred
erick Miller of the humiliating neces-
sity of figuring in the case. According
to the law which is the basis for the
past and proposed arrests the submerg.
ed coal pile ON Waikiki reef, or a
wrecked cargo of the kind belongs to
the owner of the vessel for a definite
time. Captain Miller appears to be the
purchaser of the coal, or is, at least,
the contractor responsible for les remov-
al to safer quarters. However this
may be, Captain Miller, who wishes to
recover the coal salved by the Hawai-
ian divers as cheaply as possible, is
willing TO permit Captain Wall, erst'

FAILURE TO USE
OIL ON PACIFIC

WASHINGTON, August $50 much
attention has been attracted to the
criticisms of The Call (san Francisco)
upon the failure to use oil as fuel on
government vessels in Pacific waters
that the navy department has issued a
general statement, in which it is said:
"There is no question that a large
saving could be made by using oil fuel
on the Pacific if all dependence could
be placed in It, but such dependence
can not be had when naval vessels are
liable to be called upon to cruise in
Asiatic and other waters where no
supplies OF oil fuel can be had, but
where coal is always available.
"rhe functions Of waTship make II

class Of fuel which would restrict III,

Be ToIerated-Great Sur

BEVERLY, Massachusetts,, August
24-The most sensational political
news in several months became known
publicly yesterday. President Taft let
it be known that his keynote speech in
the coming congressional campaign
would be for further revision Of the
tariff He will demand that the new
revision be based on the findings of
the tariff commission in regard to the
cost of production at home and abroad.
He will demand also that one schedule
be taken up at time and the rate of
duty settled before considering any
other schedule.
The President further declares that
only fair profit on American goods
should be allowed.
Extortionate and unreasonable profits
should not be tolerated.
The President S new position on the
tariff question is in most respects the
same as that held by the insurgents,
and his announcement will stir Wall
Street and political circles as they have
not been stirred in more than year.

ORIGIN OF NAPKIN.

Whoever has thought that children
were the means of making the napkin
an Indispensable part Of polite usage
at the tables Yet such is the case,
says the Los Angeles Herald
When tablecloths were introduced
they were very long and the part which
dropped from the table was spread by
the grownups in their laps and used
as napkins now are. But children could
not manipulate the tablecloth dexter
ously, and so small pieces Of linen were
provided for them
Soon the elders took to the idea and
table napkins came into fashion. It was
still the thing, however, to spread the
edge of the tablecloth on the lap and
the napkins were placed on the shoulder
to keep them out of the way until
needed From this they We're hung on
the left arm and at last tied about the
neck.
When finally their popularity was es-
tabllshed the tablecloth in the lap was
abandoned and the napkin found ITS
present place. The French introduced
the napkin and at fashionable dinners
1t was the custom to have fresh one
at every course, the linen being deli

Decline of the Merchant Marine

1t is largely lack of information, no
doubt, that has until recently resulted
in the seeming apathy with which the
American public has viewed the decline
of our once vast merchant marine. The
fact that we have but eight steamers
engaged In the Transatlantic and Trans
pacific trades combined has caused great
astonishment, particularly when it Is
pointed out that Great Britain has H.

France, 1917, and even Japan $40 en-
gagged in oversee foreign trade. 1t Is
estimated, by conservative experts, that
the United States is annually paying
out to foreign shipowners, for carrying
our exports and imports, over three hun
dred million dollars annually, as re-
suit of the near death of our oversee
merchant marine. Not only this, but
the foreign ships buy practically all OF
their supplies, and have practically all
of their repairs done, in their own
