A Diesel Improvement.
An arrangement of propelling ma
chinery for ships. in which, says the
Manchester Guardian, steam turbine
and Diesel oil engine are coupled 10
each propeller shaft has been patented
by SulZeF Bros, of Winterthur, Swift
zerland. The object of this unusual
combination is to permit OF either coal
or oil fuel being used. When oil fuel
is available, the Diesel engines will be
run, but when only coal is available or
when the Diesel engines break down
the turbines will be operated. There
are some obvious objections to this ar
rangement. In the first place, it
means greater weight of machinery,
greater space required for machinery,
extra bunkers. to accommodate the
two kinds to fuel, and increased COM
plication. Liners plying on regular
services are not usually in doubt as to
whether or not they can obtain oil
fuel, and for them the advantages of
the combination are not very clear.
The tramp steamer finds itself forced
to use all sorts of fuel, according to
its port of call, and therefore stands
most in need of the combination ma
chinery; but one would expect that
weight, space, and completely would
be fatal. SO, H.
On their initial outward bound trips
to Vancouver the two new G. P. r.
liners, the Empress of Asia and the
Empress of Russia will make trips
around the world and it Is expected

are scheduled to leave Southampton
on April / and May % respectively,
and will call at Gibraltar. Monte Car.

and Singapore en- route to HongKong.
From that port the two liners in

vice will touch at Shanghai and the
Usual Japan ports. o..

JOIN PLAN TO
BEAT kNUDsEN

Kauai's grip on important leg;sla-
tive positions will be broken If an
Oahu Republican Senator comes to the
front for the presidency. according TO
the political dopesters who are now
busy a. work
1t is declared that the Oahu Demo-
cratic senator's, three IN number. are
ready to join q combine OF forces to
defeat Eric knudsen. the veteran who
aspires to head the upper house
again. Knudsen is working hard to
get the presidency again, and mean
while no Oahu Republican is coming
forward. Senator Chillingworth has
decided to devote his time to the Flor
al Parade, and the only serious, rival
of Knudsen is thus eliminated.
!. Now the political gossip is busy with
the names of Senators Albert Judd
and Cecil Brown, both Of whom, it
was said today, would be given the
support OF the Oahu Democrats if they
would consent to make the race
against Knudsen. Senator Baldwin of
Maui is believed to be ready to join in
any movement that would wrest some
Of the laurels from Kauai. Where the
Hawaii bunch would stand is not
known definitely. .~.>.- - .
A story that the failure. of the last
legislature to reapportion the legisla-
tive districts might invalidate the acts
of he coming legislature has been CO.
ing the rounds again. This point was
brought DIP two years ago when the
legislature failed to pass the reapper-
tionfnent bill, Kauai doing some clever
blocking because II the bin had passed
the Garden Island would have lost d
senator. At that time weli-irlforfned
Ia wyers took the attitude that the leg
islature would not be invalidated. '''"'

Minus RUDDER

Steaming $50 miles without a rud-
der. the details of a mishap TO the
Alaska Steamship Companys big
freighter Seward. which put into Ma
zatlan, Mexico, last January. have
been received with the arrival of the
transport Sherman.
Under charter to the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company. the Seward was
bound from San Francisco for Pana-
ma with cargo of general merchan-
disc. While 100 miles south of Cape
st. Lucas, in a heavy gale, the vessel
lost her rudder and was left at the
mercy of enormous seas for many
hours. Captain Johnston tried jury
rudders and jury rigs of all kinds and
finally was able to bring the vessel
into Mazatlan, from which port he
notified the charterers Of the vessel
and her owners Of his plight.
-, The Stewards master, in the report
Just received, says that he was nine
days and nights in making $50 miles,
and reached port only, after experience
ing many difficulties. The rudder was
entirely. gone and he was unable to
steer anything like a direct course.
For many hours the Seward described
a circle, bot Captain Johnston finally
managed to- make some Roadway, and
as he described It ;"zigzagged his way
into Mazatlan." 500
p Another difficulty that confronted
Captain Johnston was the fact that
there is no drydock at Mazatian, and
no facilities for making the extensive
repairs needed" to the Seward. The
nearest drydock and repair shops are
at Salina Cruz, more. than 500 miles
south of Mazatlan, and to this port the
Seward must be sent in tow of a tug
or some other vessel. The, officials of
the company said that this would be
done, as there is no other way of get
ting the rudderless Seward to Salina
Cruz. d:

Will be increased from $3.50 to. a fig
