VOCATIONAL
TRAINING IS
DISCUSSED

Harmony and vocational training
promise the principal features of the
present session OF the new school
commission. For the lack of the first
OF these the old beard was disrupted.
with the appointment OF the present
body as direct result Vocational
training. department that has long
been urged for the public schools OF
the territory and has been expert
mented with slightly in the last year,
today received the hearty endorse
ment Of the commission present at
the session.
The last legislature placed its
stamp Of approval on the idea of prac-
teal education by appropriating s45.-
GOO to be devoted directly to this
work. The new board assumes the
responsibility of organizing and es.
the new education upon a
permanent basis.
This will be taken up in detail late
today or possibly tomorrow morning
and definite plans outlined. A tenta-
tive outline already has been pre-.
psred bS Superintendent Gibson, and
the members may take this as their
basis of discussion.
AS to the matter Of harmony, so far
there has been no Indication OF any
outcropping OF the old fead. The new
blood, for the main part, has virtual
ly no cognizance of the old squabbIes
and their causes, and is expected to
give them no thought.
Whether this theory will hold good
as applied to the new board may be
tested late today or tomorrow. when
the matter Of appointments OF in
structors arises.
Several leaves OF absence were
granted this morning. among them the
following: Miss Katherine Woodford.

SHIP PHELPS NOV
ENTERS OIL
TRADE

Partly denuded of her lofty and
graceful masts and yards, ard re-
fitted for the oil carrying trade, the
once proud American ship Erskine M.
Phelps, the pride of the round-the-
horn fleet is now relegated to the
ranks of tanker and the property
OF the Union Oil Company.
The vessel, filled with fuel oil for
the local branch of the company, is
reported by officers in the Oceanic
liner Sierra asNsoon en- route to the
Hawaiian Islands.
The Phelps will be remembered as
having made more or less annual
voyages from Honolulu or an island
port to the east coast of the United
States laden with a valuable shipment
OF sugar. This vessel would be sup
piled with approximately five thou
sand tons of the product destined for
Delaware Breakwater
The ship Phelps is expected will
carry her first cargo of oil to these
islands according to the present plans
o. the company. Much money was
expended in converting the mer-
chairman to the requirements of a
tanker.

THETISi AWAY FOR
NORTHERN SEAS
SATURDAY

For the third successive season as
the home of the United States float
ing court" the revenue cutter Thetls,
familiar to island shipping as sta
tion vessel at Honolulu. is reported to
have sailed from San Francisco 1oI
northern waters on last SATURDAY al
ternoon under the command OF Cap
tain Claude s. Cochran. The Thetis
is destined to proceed direct to Val,
deg. with a possible exc ption of
call at British Columbia for coal. The
Thefis will be remembered as hav-
ing left Honolulu some months ago
for the coast, where extensive re
nairs were made before taking up the
cruise to Alaskan ports. The altera-
lions completed, stores have been
placed aboard sufficient for consld-
cradle company of court officials.
II Is the intention to reach Valdez
some days before the opening of the
court. The judge and five members
of the court, including an attorney
for the defense, will board the ship
for the trip to the cannery districts
and the trying of cases which viii &C.
cupy from one to two weeks after ar
rival at the Nushagak.
On the way north the Thetis will
cut into Unalaska in the Aleutians,
the summer headquarters of the reye-
nue. cutter fleet, for coal and water
before crossing Behring sea to the
Bristol bay cannery district, where
the majority if not all the cases will
be tried.
Unless there are more than the u.s.
ual number of criminals to be brought
before the bar of justice in this IN
ique tribunal, the court should be
finished with its labors and back in
Valdez before the LIST of September.
After that it is likely that the The
lis will be ordered back to do patrol
duty for poachers along the Aleutians
before being ordered to Honolulu for
the winter. The vessel should be in
its home port by the middle of 0cto-
Der il it goes directly south from
UnaIaska, a distance Of nearly $500
miles.
MYTHICAL Treasure Undiscovered.
The tale of another unsuccessful
treasure island expedition riyaiing
that of the famous bark Hesper. be-
came known when the British steam
or Metmore returned to San Diego
from the south seas, where it had
gone with party of British capital
ISIS in search of $1S,000,000 in gold
snnposed to be buried on the famed
Gocos island.
These tabled millions, according to
n diving sailor, were buried on Cocos
island by members of the Peruvian
church many years ago. The story
vas revealed 20 two women, Mrs.
Rarrys Hill and Miss Davis OF Eng
land by the sailor while on his death
he'd. He supplied them with chart
on which was marked a cross, lndl-
eating where the fortune hunters
were to dig. The two women inter-
ested British capital in the project
and the Metmore was purchaser Ior
the expedition. After many weary
months of hard labor the story was
nrovpd TO be a dream. 1t is the IN
tention of the owners to dispose "
the vessel in British Columbia 10 help

fine new TANKER
T 0 R ISLAND
TRADE

The constantly growing demand for
increased supplies of fuel oil in the
islands and along the Pacific Coast
of the United States has led the As
sociated Oil Company, with an eX-
tensive branch in this city, to enter
into a contract with the Union Iron
Works of San Francisco for the con-
struction of a fine new steam tanker.
Officers in the Oceanic liner Sierra
which arrived from the coast this
morning state that the new vessel
will be rushed to completion and will
follow along the same lines as the
steamer w. F. Herrin and the Chan
celor. which are now engaged in the
regular oil-carrying trade between
the coast and Honolulu.
The new vessel will have capacity
Of $4,000 barrels which will easily
place her in a position of being the
largest oil tanker now operating in
the Pacific. The tanker is to be com
pleted within thirteen months and
will be the tenth. of the Associated
Oil fleet.
There will be eighteen tanks for
Gil. Double bottoms will be built I'M
der the forward hold and engines. All
wooden decks will be of teakwood
and the officers quarters furnished
in mahogany. Ample quarters will
house the crew of forty-one. The
latest safety precautions, such as
wireless signals, will be installed.
The design is by F.. ]. Trfst, con-
strrctor for the oil company. All the
material for the hull, boilers and ma.
chinery will be made on the Pacific
Coast.

Engineers Fail to Carry Their Point.
Declining to proceed to sea unless
they were permitted to eat their
ceals in the regular dining saloon of
the steamer Navajo, the delegation of
engineers in that vessel appear to
have failed to carry their point. The
steamer Navajo, which was detained
at San Francisco three days because
the engineers insisted upon having
their meals in the dining saloon in
stead of in the messroom provided
for that purpose, finally sailed for Sc
attic, to be placed on the summer run
between Seattle and Nome. The yes.
sci sailed with new set of engineers
Who will take their meals in the din
ing saloon when there are no passen
gers on board.
The matter was adjusted through
the mediation of the government in
spectors, who will begin an investiga-
ton today preliminary to preferring
charges against the former engineers.

Demand for Tramp Tonnage.

Demand for Tramp Tonnage.
While Inquiries for high-elass mer-
camille tonnage are still numerous, ii
is a somewhat significant fact that
shipbuilderS who construct pure
tramp steamers of moderate dimen-
sions are having somewhat more diff.
ficulty than recently experienced in
booking orders for vessels to replace
on the stocks those which are now
being brought to the launching stage.
The continuation of high prices is,
no doubt, one explanation of this, al
though it must also be borne in mind
that the pure tramp steamer has
played loss part in the shipbiuIding
boom than any other class of vessel.
The shortage in inquiries for new
cargo-carrying tonnage is being par
ticularly felt at Fort GIasgok, Stock
ton, Hartlepool and Sunderland,
where the bulk of the vessels built
are tramps. ~..~ IN

WASHINGTON. Representative
Goodwin, from one of the Arkansas
backwoods districts, has made bid
for fame by introducing bill in the
house to use the navy for advertis-
ing manufacturers and products
abroad. Goodwin. overlooking the
fact that there is no superfluous
space on a warship, wants space to
be allowed on the battlesldps and
cruisers to install commercial exhib-
its which can be shown to merchants
in foreign ports and thus stimulate
American trade.
"The commercial organizations
throughout the country will, am pos
tive" he says. "appreviate the posi-
bilities of the proposition. Friends
of a big navy would do we'll to analyze
