Glory of Maverick
y Oilef Is Confirmed

This despatch confirms to remark
able degree the story told The AdVer-
tiser by Jose Camaliche, an oiler on
the Maverick, who left the ship at Hilo
because of illness and who was treat
ed at the Queens Hospital here. Ca
matches story, when told, seemed so
fantastic that it was almost incredi-
BILE, but it is evident now that it was
strictly within the truth.
: Last Wednesday The Advertiser
printed Camaliehe's story, in which he
told Of the Maverick leaving San Pc
dro en- April % with crew recruited
in San Francisco for Mexico, and then
sailing for "Socorro, as it appeared
from Camaliche g pronunciation, but
which meant the Socora Islands, ac-
.cording to the Associated Press re-
port.
waited For Annie Larsen
His story Of the Maverick waiting
there twenty-five days for the schooner
that did not come now is proved to
mean the wait for the Annie Larsen,
which, the despatch says, missed the
Maverick. The Maverick then sailed
for Guadalupe and Coronado, Captain.
Nelson going ashore at San. Die o.
After that the Maverick sailed for
Hilo, arriving on June II, and sailing
on June 81 for Angler, Java, not hav'
ing found the Annie Larsen at all.
Except for the five men on the Nav
erick, who, Camaliche said, wore
: rugs" on their heads and were gen
erals with "things on their should
ers. " Camaliche s story has been borne
out. Something may come to light to
explain the five men vino Camaliche
thought were Hindus.
Cargo Arouses Interest
The shipment Of arms and ammuni-
ton to the Annie Larsen at San Diego
in February aroused great interest
there at that time. The customs au-
thorities and the United States secret
service investigated the shipment,
which came by rail from New York,
an there was talk Of holding the
schooner. but, eventually, she was per
mitted to load the supplies. When the
munition reached San Diego, there.
even WAS uncertainty as to who was
the consignee.
Then she lay in San Diego for a
long time, no one, seemingly, knowing
why. 1t was taken for granted in
San Diego then that the arms were for
Carranza use in his reported plans
to invade Lower California, and, in.
fact, there was a well founded report
that Villa gunboat was lying off
the Coronado Islands, south of San
Diego. in wait for the schooner should
she venture out, Carranza gunboat
also fauring in the rumors.
Carranzistas Attempted To Seize
For this reason, those who were in
touch with the situation in San Diego
at that time believed that the ammu-
milton really was for Carranza, yet
there is the fact that the CarranGa

District Attorney Whittlesey says that the statement in yesterdays pap CT that married women under the age of twenty-one can vote is not correct. The law says that woman under the age of twenty-one who gets married must be regarded as having reached her majority but Mir. Whittlesey says that this only means that she reaches majority for the purpose of transact ing business. However, the question caused discussion amongst different lawyers yesterday and what are poor lay folks to do?

FORECAST OF LAW
 FOR REVENUES

JUNEAU.-The ways and means committees of the Senate and House have been giving serious thought to the revenue law which may toe offer ed as a joint committee bill to the legislature for adoption Some of the cardinal features of the proposed bill have been practically decided upon. Unless sentiment changes, it may be forecasted that the bill will contain provisions for four sources of revenue:
 CD A property tax.
 (2) A license tax similar to that provided by the last legislature.
 (3) A per capita, or poll tax.
 (Q Corporation tax.
 The per capita or poll tax, while ad- mittedly unpopular in some sections of the Territory, is believed by mem bers of the committees to be just and reasonable, and, in many sections pop ular and desirable. It is the idea of the members of the ways and means committee that the funds derived from that source shall go forward the maintenance of the Pioneers Home at Sitka and the support of mdigent and needy pioneers under some plan such as that provided in the Aldrich bill, which proposes to give them a pen sion. while in need, of Sl2.50 month, in ease they prefer that to going to the Home.

ARCHITECTS ARE OPTIMISTIC

Local architects, builders and realty
men are unanimous in the opinion
that 1915 will be an active period in
building operations both in IopeKa
and the state of Kansas. Much prop
erty-both farm and city-is expected
to change hands.
When the year closes new schooi-
houses, churches, business buildings
and residences will dot the state. BY
spring a large portion OF Kansas
great 1914 harvest will have been ex-
changed for coin. large amount OF
money will be in circulation or in the
Kansas banks for safekeeping, a spirit
of general optimism will prevail. and
communities will feel disposed to vote
bonds for needed improvements.
Taking the country as whole there
was a general slump in building oper-
atoms in 1914. Although the local
