THE Matson Navigation company
purchased Babcock and Wilcox boil
and the success of the boilers on this
vessel, which first proceeded to San
Francisco from Newport News under
her own steam and then went into
service between that port and Homo
lulu, was such as to warrant the in
stallation of Babcock and Wilcox boil
ers in 1912 in the Matsonia, a vessel
OF 10000 tons displacement.
In the Matsonia, however, it was
considered advisable to install three
Scotch boilers in addition to the six
Babcock and Wilcox boilers, the idea
being that the Scotch boilers would
be better adapted for handling deck
wfnches and other auxiliary machinery
in port. 1t was found, however, as
soon as the vessel went into commits
sion Chat is, when loading the first
cargo) that the Babcock and Wilcox
boilers were even better adapted for
handling the deck winches than the
Scotch boilers, and the latter were only
ing maximum power in combination
with the Babcock and Wilcox boilers
when in free route. 1t was a nat
ural development. therefore, that Bah
cock and Wilcox boilers and super
heaters should be used entirely in the

In the matter of issuing liquor H.
censes in Westerly, it has been the
custom for the clerk of the council to
give public notice that applications
would be received up to a specified
time, with the understanding that tar
dy applications would receive no con-
sideration. The council at the last
meeting authorized the clerk to
receive applications at any time, to
publish same as required by law, fix
ing time for public hearing before the
town council on condition that the
applicant pay for the advertising. AL
ready three of the rejected applicants
have filed new applications, and prob
ably the other two, and then some
more, will do likewise.
But, in the meantime, the license
period grows shorter and the fee re-
mains unchanged, which will probably
serve as check to continuous appi-
cations.

Westerly lodge of Elks had a ban
Quet and genuine social session, fol-
lowing the business meeting, Wednes-
day night, in which John H. Mccarthy,
of national (biscuit) fame, was the
bright shining light at the start, but
his light flickered and was doused be-
fore the session closed. Mr.. McCar-
thy, who was once known as the
Mayor of Pleasant View, a practical
joker, served as toastmaster, and was
having a lot of sport at the expense
of his brother E1ks, when he was
dragged from his high position by
Chief of Police Tom Brown, on
charge of the theft of the venison,
which, with an abundance of turkey,
served as the mainstay of the banquet
menu. The charge was preferred by
George Albert Clark, recently return
ed from the Maine woods with a cou-
pie of deer. Soon after returning home
with the game, Mr.. Mccarthy con-
ceived the idea that it would be some
Joke to steal about forty pounds of
Mr.. Clarks venison, just as a joke,
and serve it to Mr.. Clark and the
other E1ks at the banquet. McCarthy's
idea was communicated to Clark by
his partner in business; 3. Court Bent
ley, and the taking of the venison was
made easy for Mccarthy, with the aid
of Bentley. Mccarthy supposed that
the matter was secret between him
self and Bentley and he posed not only
as postmaster, out most at the pan
quet. AS a matter of fact the playful
theft was made known to every Elk
at the banquet, and they were ready
to applaud Chief Brown when the
postmaster was arrested.
A speedy trial was demanded by
Clark and in a jiffy Judge Oliver H.
Williams was in readiness to preside
at the mock trial. A jury was en-
panelled, there were lawyers for the
plaintiff and defendant, and the trial
proceeded, witness after witness tes-
tifying for the plaintiff and there were
none to support the plea of innocence
made by Mccarthy. True sport that
he is, equally pleased with the joke
upon himself as if he had played it
on the other fellow, he entered into
the fun and, regardless of judicial
courtesy, he questioned the veracity
of every witness and even that of the
presiding chief justice. OF course the
trial was by jury and some of the
jurors even assisted counsel for the
plaintiff in the prosecution.
The jury returned a verdict Of guilty
and the judge pronounced sentence.
What was the sentence Ask McCar-
thy, as the other E1ks are pledged to
secrecy on that matter
