MARX DECLARES HE'S
CITY OWNERSHIP MAN
Story That He Isn't is Circu-
lated to Injure Him Politi-
cally, He Says

Il am in favor OF municipal own
ership." said Oscar b. Marx TO The
Times.
Marx made this statement TO refute
the charge being heard in Republican
political circles that he is not a dyed
in-the.wool municipal ownership man.
Marx is likely 10 be candidate forN
mayor, hence his quickness in denying
the report.
Il know where that comes from ana
know the purpose of II" continued
Marx. The purpose is to injure Inc
before the eyes OF the people. bu,
they can't do II. | always was In
favor of municipal ownership
Friends OF Proctor X. Owens, who
is campaigning for the Republican
nomination for mayor insist that
Marx Is not municipal ownership
man. They regard Marx as their chief
opponent and talk OF him as though
the assessor were already in the ring.
No one would dare to say he was
opposed 10 municipal ownership, at
least. no one with aspirations for the
mayoralty nomination" said one OF
Owens campaigners to The Times.
1T Is alright for Marx to say ne is a
municipal ownership man. but another
thing TO prove II 10 the satisfaction
OF the people. What is his program
for bringing about municipal owner
ship? William b. Thompson was also
municipal ownership man. AS
matter OF fact. Marx is not a NUM-
cipdl ownership man, at least, the
kind the city wants"
Marx is waiting until after the Chi
cago convention TO declare his candi-
dacy, and. in the meantime, the Owens
forces are hammering him just about
as much as though he had announced
himself.

FIRES IN THE HOLD

CNOL DERING fires on board ship aro
~ common enough, and in many cases are
comparatively harmless They arise mostly
from spontaneous combustion caused by pill
ing large quantities Of coal in close quarters.
1t is said on excellent authority that there
is not much danger from such a fire, hardly
any on an iron or a steel ship. The first pro
tcctivc measure in such an event IS 70 cX-
cludc the air, 50 that the fire can only Smol-
der. Then the bunker is flooded with water,
which usually serves to cXtingui,h il.
Even in wooden ships the danger from
smodcring fire is not half 50 great as has
been pictured by non-Scagoing folk. This IS
illustrated by the experience of the Captain
of the Twin Brothers, engaged some years
ago in the wheat trade between san Fran
cisco and Liverpool. The vessel was re-
turning from Liverpool with a thousand tons
of coal in the hold as ballast. lust after It
rounded Cape Horn it was discovered that
the coal was on fire.
There was a steam pump on board, and
after closing the lower matches the crew
flooded the hold until the ship had settled
about four feet lower in the water. Then
the Captain stood pat and let her burn.
No one was frightened. and everyone was
confident that the ship would be safely
brought into port. Call was made al al
paraiSo for fresh water and provisions; but
not a man deserted the ship.
The vessel was Scvcnty-tWo days in reach
ing San Francisco from the Horn, and all
that time the coal burned, and little streams
Of smoke could be seen coming through the
cracks in the deck. Arriving at San Fran
cisco. the Twin Brothers sailed out on the
mud flats and was flooded until she settled
almost even with her upper deck. This cX-
tinguiShed the fire.
The appearance OF the vessel after all this
was pretty fair evidence what ship may SuS-
tain in the way OF a fire. In a dozen places
the bottom had burned through. and all that
was between the crew and the deep sea was
the thin sheet OF copper bottom. The weight
Of the coal and the pressure Of the water kept
about equal strain on both sides Of the cop
per sheeting. and it had not broken, all hough
il was little thicker than an ordinary tin pan.
There was one place where this copper was
exposed about the bigness OF the top Of a
barrel.
