To tell what, in its opinion, caused
the F4 disaster, the naval board OF
inquiry used $4,000 words The board
apo. nted to make a minute, search

shortly after O'Clock, the members
signed their names to the bulky re-
port

leave on the Matscu steamer Wilhel.
nina tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock,
unless something unlooked-for hap
pens in the meantime to prevent It's
being mailed.
At $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon the
board met for its final formal session,
and signed its findings. Those affix-
ing their names were the chairman.
Rear-Admiral Clifford j. Boush; Lieut..
K B. Crittenden, commander of the
first submarine division; Lieut--cmdr.
J.. A. Furef, the naval constructor
whose pontoons were able to raise the
sunken submarine; and Lieut.. Harry
r. Bogusch, the recorder. -
One reason why the'report covered
so many pages, according to Record
er Bogusch, was that the board des-
cribed in detail the appearance of ev-

I Taylor believes thai 9rhe American
public is growing weary of the pallid
beauties who appear on every maya

thinks that the artists will welcome q
new field of models. He is sending,
therefore, some prints of the picture
card called The Three Sweetest
Things in the Pacific, namely, the
pineapple, the Hawaii hibiscus and
the Hawaiian girl. ~. .s.s.
IF these artists can appreciate coll
or and novelty they should be enthusi-
astic over my suggestion, said Taylor
this morning, and If they take up the
fdea there Is no telling just how much
advertising Hawaii viii get through
the beauty of the Hawaiian girl.
"Your average reader is not attract
ed by q pink and white face on cover
any more. He has seen thousands of
such heads in the last 10 years, and
If he sees a brown-skinned beauty
with a slow smile and lazy eyes look
ing at him from background of palm
trees, he should get thrill. It's a
good thing for the magazines, think,
and above all, If they use the sugges
ton which / have sent them, it VIII
be mighty big boost for Hawaii" ~

Definite word was received today BY
the Star Bulletin, and local shipping
men in close touch with the situation,
informing them that owing to the long
delay now in prospect at the canal,
which may last more than a month,
nearly a. dozen OF the British owned
steamers now at the canal have re-
ceised orders to turn around and sail
direct for Suez to the Orient,
Should the canal be blocked for
more than a month, it is hard to pre-
diet Just how much injury viii be done

Not only WIFI important freight en-
rcdte here on American Hawaiian
treighters be delayed, but the conse-
duent delay will hamper shipments of
sugar, pineapples and other Hawaiian
products, to New York by way of the
canal. ''',-'t
The !nter.Tsland will also be affect
ed materially, as all the ships which
have today received orders to sail for
their destination via Suez instead Of
waiting for the canal to be cleared
would have taken bunkers here, rang
ing anywhere from a few hundred to
a thousand tons of bunker coal each.
Supplies which are always purchased
here from local merchants will not be
called for, either.

that May, 1914, made a particularly
poor showing and an actual loss in
net. However, the showing for this
year contains an element of hope
through the fact that operating eX-
penses for the month were 8 per
cent less than for the same month
year ago, making saving of over
10 million dollars. AS the move
ment in cotton and grains was light
err during June, earnings for that
month when the report comes in
will make a poor showing. The be-
ginning of the movement of the
new crops will now gradually, and,
we trust, steadily, bring about
material increase in gross earnings.
On the first of July, idle cars
numbered 275 thousand compared
with 300 thousand a month ago and
220 thousand a year ago During the
month, idle box cars increased and
idle coal cars decreased, indicating
more activity in the coal regions
In the Connellsville district, there
are 1862 coke ovens in blast com
pared with 24,824 a month ago and
22,470 two months ago. Shipments
are averaging better than nine
thousand cars a week, which is a
amterial improvement.
On the whole crop conditions are
quite satisfactory. 1t is hardly to be
expected that either winter wheat
or corn can live up to the Govern
ment estimate but, outside Of corn,
all crops promise to give a good
account of themselves and even the
cotton crop, on an acreage reduced
by about Is per cent from last year,
is promising to run as much as
twelve or thirteen million bales. Of |
the last cotton crop, we have ex-
ported up TO now, 1925 thousand |
bales compared with 1875 thousand |
bales to the same date last year.
Our exports this year were made la
ter in the season but there would |
appear to be little room for com
ports.
