that the Titanic was forging
ahead at a high rate of speed.
And the first reports, spread
broadcast by the White Star Off

The night was clear; the sea
smooth, and Captain. Smith had
been warned of the ice field in his
course time and time again.

and his determination to make
good time, despite the warnings.
The Partisan was about 100
miles ahead of the Titanic. 1t

which the Titanic went to its end.

BROKE WATER COOLER,
AND MUST PAY PENALTY

When Private Clarence M. Sadler
of the medical corps, prisoner un-
der guard at Schofield Barracks,
threw a hammer at Private William
NJ. Schukerk of the same corps, On
May 10, Sadler had no intention OF
maliciously assaultiig Schukerk, he
says. A court martial accepted his
plea on this point, but it. appears that
when he threw the hammer, the mis-
sile hit a water cooler belonging to
the medical corps, which was valued
at $3.50, and for this he will suffer
condign punishment as he. was I'M
able to plead other than guilty, when
the hammer and broken pieces OF
water cooler were introduced as evil
denee.
: The penalty for this misdeed of
Private Sadler is likely to be severe
in view of the fact that he has five
previous convictions against his re-
cord. - ----

AVOID HARSH DRUGS
Mapy Cathartics Tend to Cause In
jury to the Bowels.

IL you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give temporary
relief and their reaction is harmful

LATEST NEWS
ABOUT OIL

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. IL
Warren d. Smith of Manila, chief OF
the United States Division OF Mines
and Bureau Of Science. is visiting the
oil fields of California for the pur-I
pose of familiarizing himself with the
industry and also of gathering facts
to be applied to the Philippines where
oil has been found.
He says that Cebu island, Leyete
island and the Tayabas peninsula
have oil indications. In 1896, the year
before the instruction, an English
company sank well in Cebu for 1000
feet and found oil in sufficient guam
titles to pump it. The oil was said
to be of 35 gravity. The insurrectionf
of Aguinaldo caused all operations to
be suspended.
Oil seeps have been found in many
other places on the islands. Mr..
Smith says the geological formations
are similar to those of the California
fields and unlike those of the eastern
and midcontinent fields. He says
that several barrels of oil per day
were pumped from 160-foot well on
Tayabas, the quality being as fine. as
that Of Cebu Many claims have been
staked out by Americans and it Is ex-I
pected that development will be push
ed at an early date.
Mr.. Smith proposes to recommend
to the government that the land be
classified and that a board be formed
for this purpose. None of the land
has been withdrawn from entry. He
win sail Cor Manila from this city on
September 9th.
