WALTER POMRIOY
SDEAD AFTER
SHORT ILLNESS

Walter Pomroy, for many years the
foreman of the Advertiser printing
department, is dead. He passed away
at the Queens Hospital this morning,
after being ill since Decoration Day
when he tainted on the streets.
Loved by many during his life. his
death will be mourned by many. 1t
was a year ago that his wife died,
leaving him alone with his large fam
lily of children. Together they lived
at their home on Monsarrat avenue,
hear Diamond Head, where Mr.. Pom
roy had looked forward to spending
his summer vacation with his daugh-
tiers and sons, six Of whom survive
him.
Mr.. Pomroy was foreman of the
Advertiser for thirty years, and for
some time was vice-president of the
company. Those who have worked
with him find it hard to realize what
a loss they have suffered in his death.
Always kind and thoughtful, consid-
crate of others, and ready to bear
the hardest of the burdens, he work
ed with his assistants who learned to
love him and who now mourn his de-
parture. And in his life at home the
same forebearance and even temper
marked his actions.
The funeral will probably be under
the auspices of the Knights of Pyth
las, although definite arrangements
have not been made. The body is ly-
ing at Williams undertaking parlors

well to ask the chief executive to
place the affair before the cabinet Of
fetal at Washington.
This lot originally was territorial
property, but was taken over by the
war department in 1899. without re-
compense to the territory. For two
or three years it was used for coal
storage, but in the last twelve or thfr-
teen years has lain idle, so far as the
war department is concerned.
During this latter period 1t has been
leased by the secretary OF war to
Stackable, who in turn has permitted
its use by private individuals or cor
porations. Trouble arose last year
when the harbor commission laid its
fuel oil pipe line, supplying the various
wharves, across this lot. The commits
sibners declined to sign permit pre-
scented them by Stackable.
Instead, they sought to obtain a
transfer of his lease to themselves
Stackable would not consent to this,
and the imbroglio has waxed and
wanted for nearly year, until yester-
DAY letter was received from the
customs collector stating that II the
permit presented by him was not
Signed by June Is he would notify
the secretary of war.
The commissioners last year caused
the governor to open negotiations with
the war department for the transfer OF
the title back to the territory, arguing
that inasmuch as the federal govern
ment no longer had any apparent use
for it the territory ought to have It
for public use. These negotiations
have not yet been concluded, but now
the governor will be asked to present
TO Secretary Garrison the territory's
position in the matter.

GET TIE RIGHT ATTITUDE

Members of the city's waterfront force will
find little public sympathy with attempts to
block the plan proposed by the harbor board of
using launch system for the transportation of
pilots to and from the vessels coming here.
Though some of the pilots themselves object to
the plan, preferring to stick to the antiquated
whaleboat system, they have not shown any good
reasons for their attitude. They have argued
that the whale-boat is safer than the launch for
taking pilots from liners in motion, but even
when the harbor board considered plan of
using whaleboat equipped with gas engine,
the pilots grumbled and one of them openly said
that they would oppose any change.
The launch system, it is estimated, would
save about twenty five or thirty per cent of the
cost of the service Though the total saving is
not great, the principle involved is Important.
The harbor boardis trying TO establish progress
i've methods here and to make preparation for
The vastly increased commerce of the future. 1t
