STRIFE REIGNED
in ST0KEHOLE

The return of the Canadian Austria
iasian liner Zealandia to Sydney, was
the signal for general strife. and
trouble among the members of the
fire-room crew, according to reports
! brought to Honolulu this morning by
officers in the Oceanic steamship
Sonoma.
The Zealandia is now withdrawn
| from the Australian-H Honolulu service
and is to make regular trips in the
Colonial interstate service following
the settlement of the labor difficult
ties.
The Zealandia is a steamer of $500
tons, and until quite recently was
under charter to the Union Steam
ship Company of New Zealand, Ltd,
by whom she was engaged in the
Canadian-Australasia royal mail
service between Sydney and Van
couyer. The charter has now expired,
and the vessel has been returned to
her owners.
When the Zealandia was running in
tn mail service three extra trimmers
and three extra firemen were employ
ed, in order to enable her to main
tain the contract speed 1t was
agreed by the executive of the Sea
mems Union, however, that the three
firemen were to be taken out when
the ship entered the Australian in
terstate trade, and that the position
of the three trimmers was to be dis
continued
When the time came for the men
10 oil g.
all the stokehole hands refused to do
SO, unless the same number were EN-
ployed as had been the case when
the steamer was in the Vancouver
service.
To enable the ship to get her coal
requirements she had to proceed to
New Castle with her usual compile
ment. The matter was discussed be-
fore the arbitration court, and Justice
Higgins ordered that a committee
of both sides should discuss the mat
ter. AS no result was arrived at his
honor was consulted again, and he
ordered that the agreement should
be carried out This was to the eff
feet that the three firemen should be
taken out of the ship, and the boilers
working be reduced from seven to
six
This direction the men refused to
carry out, although, it is stated, that
the executive officers of the union
urged them to abide by the agree
ment. The consequence was that the
steamer, which had booked large
number of passengers, and taken a
hiQ cargo Wacl unable ~ coil Gov
Western Australia, via Adelaide and
Melbourne.
The men hung about the wharf
awaiting settlement, but nothing
further could be done, as the men alb
solutely refused to abide by the
agreement.

BACK OF GREAT
LEGAL BATTLE
LBv Latest Maill

SAN FRANCISCO-Th legal bat
tie for the guardianship of Carl Ed
Twin Schilling, aged 5, started by the
grandmother, Mrs. Laura Mozart,
against the child's father, Carl Schil-
ling, son of wealthy tea and coffee
merchant, opened for trial before SUI
perior Judge George Buck of Red
wood City. Testimony showed that
the original quarrel for control hinged
solely on the question of the child
calling his stepmother mother"
Had he recognized as his mother
Mrs. Eta Staley Schilling, the pretty
1S.year-old bride of his father, all
would have been well.
The boys mother, who secured a
divorce in Oakland in 1910, died re-
Gently in South America, and the boy
has been with his. grandparents most
of the time
Feeling between the Schillings and
the Mozarts was exemplified when the
boy was brought into court by the
Schillings. Immediately Mrs. Mozart,
the plaintiff, sought to take posses
sion of him. Members of the Schil-
ling family attempted to pull him one
way and the grandmother the other
way Judge Buck censured them,
while the child began to cry.
go over and talk to your grand
mother" ordered the court. The lad
did this and was kissed by his grand
parents,
The judge then directed that he be
returned to the Schillings home in
San Mateo pending the outcome OF
the hearing.
Nine witnesses were examined, but
it remained for Edward Mozart, the
grandfather, to give most effective
testimony in asserting he and his
wife saved Schilling from committing
suicide on board tn liner Korea be-
fore the fire They said Schilling h&d
quarreled with the woman he subse-
quently married. The witness and
Mrs. Mozart stood guard over Schil-
ling over night to prevent him from
ending his existence. Mozart also
said Schilling had been treated for
mental alteration by DR.. E. j. Boyes
of Oakland, but this testimony was
ruled out when the witness admitted
his information came from DIR. Boyes.
Schilling declared he was being SLAM
dered
The Mozarts contend the child, who
will be the heir to large fortunes
from both sides, suffers from intense
nervousness. Schilling believes ibis
son is just like any other small boy.
The fight Is being conducted on these
lines to decide the fathers compe-
tency to act as the lads. guardian.
Mrs. Laura Mozart verified the
statements in her petition charging
.Schilling with cruelty.
Mozart testified he considered the
child's father of moody disposition,
incapable of affection and that while
he had the highest regard for Mrs
Schilling, she was inexperienced and
did not know how to take care of
a child
The case was continued to May IS
The child is now in the custody of
his father The court declared that
while it was perfectly reasonable for
the Mozarts. to visit their grandchild
in the interium, it would have to be
decided by the father.

Wireless Service in Rehrinq Sea.

wireless Service in Behrinq Sea.
Arrangements are being made for
the establishment of regular wireless
service across Behring Sea, between
the American and Russian govern
ments, which will insure Geographic
communication between America and
Asia at all times, even in the event OF
the interruption of the cable service.
The projected service, taken into CON
nection with the existing trans-Atlan-
tic radio service completes the circuit
of the globe by THIS means of commu-
nication. No new construction is re-
quired for the institution of this serv-
ice. The Russian government already
has wireless tower at Anadir, in
Kamchatka, and the American govern
ment similar station at Cape Nome,
Alaska. There has been some limited
exchange of signals across Behring
Sea between these towers, but owing
10 the operators limitations in the
way of language they have been TN
able to communicate, intelligibly, diff
ficulty which, of course, can easily be
overcome by the employment of oper-
ator who can speak both Russian and
English. Probably the new service
will be conducted under the same reg
ulations as have been applied to the
general commercial service of the gov
eminent wireless system.-Ho ngkong
