TUG Launched
into HARBOR

The first large sea-going tug to be
constructed at this port was success
fully launched at the Inter-Island
building plant this morning. AS the
vessel glided majestically down the
ways shortly after o'clock, Miss VIC
let Anterior, who stood sponsor for
the new tug, christened it the Makaala.
From hundreds of throats cheer
arose as the Makaala reached the
waters of the harbor and was soon
after brought to its nooring at the
naval wharf, there TO await the arrival
of the machinery that will serve to
propel it in the business of towing be-
tween Honolulu and island corts.
Built to the order OF Young Brothers
Company Limited. the launching this
morning of the tug, IS feet in length,
and capable of steaming more than
1000 miles without replenishing its
store of fuel, represents high type
of sea-going craft Specially construct
ed engines for the Makaala ere now
on the way to the islands and will
reach this city in the Lurline. The
vessel is expected will go into COM
mission within six weeks.
Many ladies were included among
the spectators at the waterfront when
the Makaala first entered the harbor.
A canopied pavilion afforded accom-
mediation to host of invited guests.
Young Brothers proved admirable
hosts and under the direction of Cen
eral-manager John Young refresh.
ments were served by bevy of ladies.

life OR DEATH OF
PACIFIC MAIL
AT STAKE

Life or death Tor the Paclflc Nal
Steamship Company, according t
General Manager r. P. Schwerin. is in
yolved in its application to the Inter
state Commerce Commission unde
the Panama canal act to continue ii
its coastal business from San Fran
| cisco to Mexican ports reached by tn
Southern Pacific, owner of the steam
ship company.
The application was heard yestef
day by Commissioner Henry G. Hal
of Denver, assisted by Special Exam
liner A. J.. Gutheim. Unless the com
pany can continue its business to tn,
southern coast, said Schwerin, it cal
not maintain itself as a transpacifit
carrier and must pass out of exist
ence.
The point at issue is the traffic from
San Francisco to the port of Mazat
Ian, which the Southern. Pacific reaches
through Nogales.
The company has no fear, said
Sehwerin, that the Panama canal act
can. be construed to include its steam
ship business to the Mexican and Cen
trail American ports farther south
which are not reached by the control
ing railroad.
But, said the steamship man, with.
out the business of Mazatlan his com.
pany cannot proftably engage in the
Mexican and Central American bust.
ness from San Francisco. Without this
southern trade, he continued, the
Oriental business cannot be continued,
Either branch of the company's bust.
ness has at times been Improbable
and has required the balance of the
other.
1.-THE continuance of the Pacific
Mail has been largely sentimental, .
said Schwerin. "The company has not
paid a dividend since 1898, but its
withdrawal meant the turning over the
only considerable merchant marine
business left under the American flag
to foreign ships"
In his opening statement for the
company Attorney Fred III. Wood gave
the application a double significance.
In the first place, he said, it is for the
commission to determine if the Pana
ma canal act applies to such foreign
commerce as that to Mexican and Cen
trail American ports. Then, if such is
the decision, the company asks to be
permitted to continue its business on
the ground that the withdrawal of its
service will be an injury to the public
interest. E
Schwerin and a number of San
Francisco importers and exporters tes-
titled that a continuance Of the Pa,
eifc Mails southern service, as the
only regular one, is necessary to en-
able San Francisco merchants to COM
pete with the east and Europe in Cen.
trail America. 1t was asserted that no
business goes from here by rail.

LIKELY TO ACQu|T WOMAN
either THAT OR SHORT SEN,
TENcE FOR NINE. cAiLLAUx,
Old Functionaries in Paris Predict
What Jury Is Likely to Do In
the End.

Paris, July %. - The impression
around the Palace Of Justice, quite
without the suggestion of improper
influences, Is that Nine. Caillaux, who
tor q week has been on trial for kill.
Ing Of Castor Calmette, will be &C.
quilted or receive a short suspended
sentence. That is the opinion of old
functionaries, who as it were, smell
out what juries are likely to do.
Parisians look upon the trial as q
daily melodrama. There have been
mysterious diplomatic papers, which
most persons still think exist in the
foreign office archives, and elusive
photographed love letters to give q
touch of mystery to the case.
In the foreground two women have
Striven against each other-Madame
CAillaux, who thrilled the audience in
the court room with a confession OF
her thoughts and emotions before she
shot Calmette, and Madame Gueydan
who moved her hearers still more
strongly by the tragic testimony of 8
deserted wife. .....
Joseph Caillaux, former premier
of France and now the leader of the
radical groups which govern the re-
public, sprang at once into the breach
in defense of his wife, and during the
proceedings has been confronted by
another former premier, Louis Bar
thou. 1, 49,. .s
Most remarkable things have &C
Cured at this trial, and not the least
president of the court, Judge Louis
Albanel and one Of the other Judges,
Louis Dagoury. ns.'. ~
The duel awaits the decision Of the
minister of justice; meanwhile the
Judges pass each other scornfully.
M. Caillaux himself called the coun.
sci for the Calmette family to terms
for suggestion made in the court
room and people are now wondering
whether the ex-premier and M. Chenu,
who declared that he was not to be
menaced, will also meet at the swords
point. l- t
A heated suggestion Of Germany
was brought into court. M. Calmette
had charged NJ. Caillaux with having
betrayed French interests in the Mo-
roccan affair, and M. Caillaux told the
jury that the Figaro, Of which Cal
mette was the editor, was owned
across the Rhine; that Calmette had
been the instrument Of Frances enc
mics in causing discord to the French
capital.
What with the Fabre document In
the Rochelle banking frauds and the
influences of the ministers upon the
courts and prosecutors, the republican
government has in some sense been
on trial.
High finance has had its place in the
proceedings through the insistence Of
Caillaux's radical partisans that 1t wal
his pressing need Of. the income tau
that caused influential interests to use
Chalmette to break Caillaux in public
esteem
