H0BS0N ON NEW CRUSADE
Wants Sinking Of Monitor Puri-
tan Investigated.
TFrom III. Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington Dec. II. - Representative
Hobson, Of Alabama, is determined to nave
an investigation OF the sinking at Norfolk
of the old monitor Puritan. He charges
that the loss to the government will be
fully 100000 through the mishap. and that
the naval authorities are now considering
whether It would not be better to ABANDON
the project of raising the vessel in which
event the ship will be a total loss. MT.
Hobson asserts, and this statement Is con-
frmed at the Navy Department, that the
experiments in high explosives for which
the Puritan was used were held near the
Norfolk Navy Yard. in order that, il the
damage were sufficient to require 1t, the
docking facilities at that plant would be
conveniently at hand. Otherwise, the test
could have taken place at the naval prov
ing grounds at Indian Head or at some
other place. Mr. Hobson learns that in
structions were sent to the commandant al
the Norfolk Navy Yard to have the dock
at that place ready on the day OF the
test to receive the Puritan il 1t was found
necessary to dock her.
The firing took place and part of the
damage was below the water line ana or
such character that the Puritan should
found, however, that the departments in
structiOns had not been carried out and
that the dock was occupied by vessels OF
the destroyer type. The delay In getting
the dock in readiness kept the Puritan IN
the stream until the next day. and the yes
sci sank. 1t has become problem just
how the ship can be raised, and the Navy
Department has detailed Naval Constructor
Robert Stocker. member of the board Of
inspection and survey for ships, with head
quarters in Washington, to proceed to Nor
folk and take charge of the affair. He has
been investigating the situation, and it is
intimated that it is not worth while to
raise the Puritan. That question is now
before the naval authorities
In the mean time Mr. Hobson, who has
obtained certain facts, believes there should
be an investigation which will show ex-
actly who is responsible for the situation
and whether the precautionary measures
taken by the authorities in Washington
were supported by those in charge of the
Norfolk Navy Yard. Mr.. Hobson asserts
that the submersion of the Puritan for
month or more will destroy the machinery
and boilers, and he places the loss, even
if the ship is raised. at what he regards
as the conservative figure OF 100000

ture, as many of the skeletons indi- cate.
 The relics and remains of villages left by the Indians of the northwest of more than a century ago show that the section was densely populated, so far as Indian tribes are concerned. The red men were expert canoe men and subsisted on fish and wild fruits. They did not join in the chase for land ami mals, as did the plains Indian, but ex. tracted from the forests of Puget Sound and it's island their fuel, houses, and from the fish of the Washington coast their living.
 So it is generally agreed that many tribes frequented this tiny island to dis pose of the dead, or else as question of argument, the island may have been the meeting place in terrific battle ot two warning tribes. The dead were | buried where they fell.

The last family left the island last week and reported the same story that all others have done, that the island is the over-crowded burial place of aboriginal tribes of Indians, who once inhabited Puget Sound islands and it's surrounding shores.
 Practically every family that has left this beautiful little island of some 300 acres tells of blowing or digging up skeleton or more of some histori- cal Indian chief or descendant. So many are the skeletons unearthed that settlers on this newly cleared island de- plOre the thought of eating vegetables produced where the fertility of the soil can be traced to the bodies of hundreds and hundreds of Indians.
 Three Pine Island lies west of Wash on Island and was until two years ago covered with virgin timber. Then a real estate company bought the rights of the land from a timber company, cleared off the timber and laid out the plat into ten-acre tracts. These tracts slOping gradually toward the placid waters of the sound sold as fast as buy CTS could be taken to view the spot. Soon there were fifty families building small homes, fences, outbuildings and preparing the stumpage for planting.
 One after another of the farmers be- gan to complain of unearthing human skeletons, and the more the reports grew the horror increased. Rapidly the island became depopulated and the pur- chasers, many of whom had paid cash, advertised them for sale at sacri- fee. New buyers came and went. Dozens of new families began the work where the former settlers left off, only to leave as quietly as did their prede- cessOrs.
 Soon the reports became rumors, and local real estate men investigated Then the newspapers of the Puget Sound cities heard of the island and it's weird stories and also investigated
 The result is that it is now believed that many tribes of Indians inhabiting this part of the United States used the island as a burial place. It was the custom of the Northwest Indians to bury the dead, usually in a sitting pos

Three New Sections Yester- day Installed in Office

LIVELY INTEREST
 IS BEING SHOWN
Many Other COnveniences to Public Being Added in
 Chamber Rooms

In order to place on exhibition the constantly increasing mineral exhibit, the chamber of commerce yesterday installed three new sections to the min eral cabinet at the chamber headquar, ters and as the result, the present ex hibton can be very nearly doubled with the additional cabinet space.
 The different mining companies of this district, as well as many individual prospectors, are taking a lively interest in the new mineral collection, and as the result it will soon assume such proportions as to rival any exhibit of its kind in the territory.
 An invitation is extended by the chamber of commerce to all mining men in the district to add specimens to the present exhibit. All specimens are labeled, classified and credited to the company or individual donating them and the exhibit will soon become a valuable advertising feature.
 While the new mineral exhibit is be- ing put in shape, other details of the chamber of commerce equipment have not been overlooked by Secretary Roh- rabacher.

 The profile map of the new Globe Roosevelt territorial highway which is on exhibition at the chamber of com. merce room is attracting much atten, | tiOn from local contractors and it is probable that number of local bids will be in the hands of the territorial | board of control when bids are opened on Wednesday, April 6.

School Election Yesterday Develops Into Highly
 Spirited Contest
OVER FIVE HUNDRED
 VOTERS CALLED OUT
Pinyan Will Succeed Miles Whose Term of Office
 Now Expires

In an exciting although rather one sided contest, Robert L. Pinyan was yesterday elected to the position of school trustee, for district No. l, de- feating F. F. Towle by vote of 360 to 147.
 During a warm contest which began at 9 oclock yesterday morning and continued until the polls closed at 4 clock in the afternoon, the supporters of both Pinyan and Towle worked en- ergetically in an effort to secure as large a vote as possible. That over 800 votes were cast during the day is good index of the interest which was taken in the contest.
 Pinyan had been in the field for nearly week before Towle was an nounced as a candidate for the office and as the result, he took the lead in the election, from the first of the con- test. Politics also cut some figure in the contest, but both democrats and republicans voted for both Pinyan and Towle, the fight being rather a matter of preference rather than party affilia. tions.
 The real campaign of the Towle ad- herents began shortly before noon, when a corps of automobiles was SC. cured and every possible voter who could be found favoring this side of the fight was carried to the polls. The lead of the Pinyan supporters was toe great, however, and long before the polls closed, Mr. Pinyan $ election was admitted.
 As soon as the vote was boiled and the outcome made public, MT. Pinyan went to the office of County Superin' tendent w. o. Kellner and signed an affidacit of election. Next Saturday he will take the oath of office and begin on his new duties.
 MT. Pinyan will succeed J. s. Miles whose three year term is now expiring He is clear thinking man who has the best interests of the Globe district at heart and apparently has all of the necessary qualifications to fill the of. flee in an entirely capable manner.

USUALLY ONE DOSE ENDS INDIGESTION
 OR DYSPEPSIA
A Little Diapepsin Relieves Stomach Misery in Five
 Minutes

As there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of indi- gestion or some form of stomach trouble, why don't you keep some Dia- pepsin in the house handy9
 This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and overcome a sour, gassy stomach, five minutes after.
 Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula plainly printed on these 50-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will readily see why it makes indigestion. Sour stomach, heartburn and other distress go in five minutes and relieves at once such miseries as belehing of gas, quotations of sour, un- digested food, naseau, headaches, dig ziness, constipation and other stomach disorders.
 Some folks have tried so long to find relief from indigestion and dyspepsia common everyday cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of or an out-of-order stomach with the nervousness, gastritis, catarrh of the stomach or cancer.
 This, no doubt, is a serious mistake. Your real trouble is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it ferments and sours, turns to acid gas and stomach poison which purify in the digestive tract and intestines, and besides, poi son the breat with nauseous odors.
 A hearty appetite with thorough di- gestion, and without the slightest dis comfort or misery of the stomach, is waiting for you as soon as you decide to try Pape's Diapepsin.
