ARCTIC SHIP.

WASHINGTON.-The Arctic explor-
ing ship Fran. owned by Captain
ROAD Amundsen, will pass through
the Panama canal as one of the very
first ships to use that waterway. This
was announced at the war depart
ment today. where Secretary of War
Garrison made public a letter from
Amundsen in regard to the arrange
ments for the passage of the Fran.
Both Secretary Garrison and Col.
Goethals have given permission to
Amundsen to send the Fran through
the canal Amundsen will, therefore
have the Fran at the canal early this
fall and wait for Goethals to give the
word for him to go through. Even if
there is a, delay of several months,
Amundsen thinks it will be better for
him than sending his vessel around
Cape Horn.

TAILOR COULD NOT
AFFORD TO SUPPORT
ALL OF WIFE'S KIN

SAN FRANCISCO - Because his
wife nightly rified his pockets and di-
yided his earnings with Is relatives,
George Herman, tailor. was granted
a divorce from Martha Herman, 1861
Greenwich street, by Judge Mogan.
On one occasion, Herman testified.
mis- wife found $50 in his pocket which
he inteded to use to pay a butcher
bill She divided 1t equally among
her Is relatives, all of whom placed
the money on Angelus, a race horse
Angelus lost
His tailor shop was attached for the
butcher bill, and he was forced out
of business. He wene to Mill Valley
where he got job in butcher shop.
One Sunday his wife invited her Is
relatives to spend the day. He hired
large carryall, and took them for a
ride.
The first man they met was his
employer who surveyed the encourage
in establishment. Knowing that the
amount of meat he gave Herman, in
addition to his pay, could not possibly
feed all the people who seemed to live
with Herman, he arrived at the erro-
neous conclusion that Herman was
purloining extra meat. Herman was
discharged on Monday morning.
Since then he has eked out slim
existence at odd jobs, he testified.

THE RAILROAD sRorHERHooDs

The four principal railroad brother
hoods are made up of the engineers,
the firemen, the conductors and the
trainmen, with a total membership of
300, 900, or 50 per cent of the crews of
the nations 10000 locomotives and
100000 cars. The greatest, richest,
most powerful and most respected of
these four big brothers is the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers the
model for all brotherhoods. The
Brotherhood of Railway Firemen,
which has lately been most largely
in the, public eye because of its de-
iliands for a wage increase on all the
Atlantic roads, learned much of its
methods from the engineers order.
All four big brothers are the teach
ers of all the little brothers, including
telegraphers, clerks, carmen, track
men, switchmen and the organized
shop craftsmen. The big and little
brothers together comprise the great
majority of the country's 100000
railway employees.
The millions paid into the brother
hood treasures are used to maintain
the greatest system of benevolence
Known to the labor world. The en-
gineers, who ppsanlzed fifty years
ago. have tslrance policies in force
amountingt to $4,000, 900; they have
paid out $24,000, 900 to injured mem
bers and heirs. The firenen disburse
81 100000 a year in injury benefits
and have $S7,000,000 in beneficiary
certificates in force. The conductors
union has underwritten $100,000,000
of insurance and has disbIrsed $14,-
60,000 in benefits; it has paid $780,
900 in monthly payments to aged and
disabled members and has a reserve
relief fund of nearly 100000 The
trainmen pay an average insurance of
$2.350,000 year and have disbursed
$23, 000, 600 in benefits.
These organizations as a whole
Lave underwritten half a billion dol
lars of insurance. They have paid out
altogether $100,000,000 in benefits at
an administrative cost of from IL to

the supervisors that the water of

assist in supplying Honolulu.
But of the many projects which are
to be proposed. the question of the
Nuuanu dam will probably be upper
most
The resolution may be introduced
by courtesy. If the present one fails
to come before the city fathers with
cut delay, Supervisor Wolter. chair
man of the health committee, stated
this morning that he will introduce
one on his own motion. calling for a
meteorological examination of the wa.
ter of the big Nuuanu dam. He stated
| that the matter was of too serious i'm
FORT, and the health of the city too
imminently involved. to warrant any
delay.
Il know Of my own knowledge that
rotted animal matter and decomposed
vegetation covers the bottom of the
big DAM 1t should have been cared
for long ago. The health of the com
munity is involved. We cannot ex
pect good health while drinking water

things done in the sanitary interests

PORT EXPLOSION
TO Be PROBED

steel rail is bent at point where the
explosion occurred. while much earth
and ballast we're dug out and sent
in all directions.
1t is expected that other damage
will be found when the car can be
unloaded and sent to the railway re-
pair shops.
Following an investigation. the po-
lice are somewhat inclined to the
theory that the explosive was remov-
ed from the Matson Navigation
steamer Hilonian the first of the
week.
Chief Mcpuffie. Deputy Kellett and
Officer Olson, detailed on the case
have run down number of clews
Powder in considerable quantities
was removed from the steamer Hilon
ian during her stay in port. This ma
terial was consigned to T. H. Davies
& Company. An investigation is now
on regarding the condition of the
cases when received by the import
ers.
Another theory advanced last night
was that the powder might have beer
carelessly dropped by fishermen pre-
pairing to reap a harvest of mullet
which are said to be swarming in the
harbor
Experts claim that considerable
conclusion is required to explode
black powder. If the material ha6
been wrapped in a. strong paper oil
placed in a small tin, the impact o.
the car wheel. it is believed, woult
have been sufficient to set off the con
tents of the package.
Inquiry at the general offices OF thu
railway company this morning elicit
ed the statement that as far as the
officials knew, there had been no dis
satisfaction or suspicion of trouble
between the corporation and disgrunt
led employees bent on vengeance for ;
fancied wrong.
Despite a general effort in goini
carefully over the scene of trouble
little evidence save a small quantity
of powder and fragments of steel wer.
found by the officers.

LIQUOR
REVENUE GROWS

LONDON, April 23.-Chancellor
Lloyd George, in introducing yester-
day the budget of the British govern
ment in the house of commons, told
the committee that, while he could
not remit any taxes, he expected TO
pull through without leyying any new
imposts.
This he said in spite OF the fact
that the budget showed an expendi-
.ture of upwards of 1916, 100000 and
he faced the necessity Of finding $37,-
100000 more revenue
There are no indications that the
trade boom has reached It's maximum
and there are no signs OF overproduc-
ton" said the chancellor, "and TAX
ing all facts into consideration, ! feel
justified in coming to the conclusion
that we have entered on the most
growing year that British trade has
ever SEEN"
Mr.. LLOYD George estimated that
the increase in the customs and the
excise taxes would be $1z.Sz5,e00, the
increase in death duties $7,560,000
and the increase in income tax and
supcr-tax s5,72O,0Oo. The balance Of
the shortage would be made up with
the income tax and other revenue due
last year but only paid at the begin
ming of the current year and $5,000.-
900 taken from the exchequer bal
ances representing money voted for
the navy in 1911-12 but not expended.
The chancellor estimated that the
total revenue on the existing basis OF
taxes would be $979, 125,000, leaving
a margin of s925,ooo over the esti-
mated expenditure.
The expenditure on education and
social reform was lauded by the chan
cclor as reproductive work promis-
ing strength, happiness and efficiency
to the nation"
The chancellor drew an encouraging
cheer from the house with the state
ment that, although the consumption
of spirits actually had decreased by
q, 100000 gallons in four years, the
revenue had increased by $25,00o.O00.
This. he said, proved that his method

COMMERCE BY THE isTHMUsEs.

COMMERCE BY THE ISTHMUSES.
Commerce between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts of the United States via
the Isthmuses of Panama and Tehuan-
tepec aggregated approximately 125
million dollars in 1912. The rapid
growth of the traffic between the east
ern and western coasts cf the United
States via the Isthmuses (which Ge-
veloped chiefly within very recent
years and seems likely to further in.
crease with the opening of the Pana-
ma canal, led the statistical division
of the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce to establish, at the begin
ming of the present fiscal year
monthly record of the movements OF
the principal articles forming this
traffic. It's record for the five months
ending with November has just been
published and shows 2412 million dol
lars worth of merchandise passing
from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific
coast via the Tehuantepec railroad,
and 5 million dollars worth Via the
Panama railroad; while the value OF
that passing from the Pacific coast to
the Atlantic was, via the Tehuantepec
line, 1913 million dollars, and via the
Panama line, 3A million dollars. This
suggests that the total value OF the
traffic for the half-year ended Decem-
Der was approximately 80 million dol
lars westbOund across the Tehuante-
pee route and million via the Pana-
ma line; and of eastbound coming
from the Pacific coast ports and Ha-
vail. is million dollars via Tehuante
pee and Az million via Panama; and.
that the total value Of this traffic for
the full year approximates 125 million
dollars.

turned into a bedlam by the suffra-
gettes and their opponents Sunday
afternoon. The women, declining to
recognize the police who had ordered
that no suffrage meetings we're to be
held in the park, appeared with "a
wagon and addressed small crowd.
Immediately youths commenced to
gather and an attempt was made to
drag the wagon to the Serpentine. for
the purpose of ducking the women.
Mounted and foot police interviewed
just in time to save them. The Perth
shire cricket pavilion at Perth, to-
gether with collection of valuable
records and relics was
destroyed by fire Sunday. Suffra-
gettes are suspected.
