There was no diving to the sunken
submarine F-4 this morning and there
will be none this afternoon. Possibly
diver will be Sent down tomorrow
but this will depend on what progress
has been made with tne lines to the
stern of the boat, and the general
progress of the salvage work.
As the F-4 now lies she is keeled
far over on her side, two heavy wire
cables, with chain inserts 80 feet in
length. being passed safely around
the bow in good holding positions. The
line around the stern is insecure and
at present an attempt Is being made
TO get ii in a better position. 1t was
at first planned to send diver down
with a reeving line, but this plan has
been discarded as the report made
by Diver Nielsen indicates that the
stern is clearer than was thought, and
that II will be possible to drag chain
and wire under the after part of the
boat. -. 49,. ."~>..s..
Nielsen had a thrilling and danger
Gus time under water yesterday. The
line which had been sent down for
him to pass under the propeller shaft
and then attached to his lifeline to be
drawn to the surface, fouIed him and
after an unsuccessful attempt to get
clear he was forced to cut the line.
Nielsen worked for 35 minutes on the
bottom and was two hours and 20
minutes coming up. He was put into
the decomposition chamber, from
which he was taken in apparently
good shape, considering his strenuous
experience.
This morning two experienced div
ers from the Maryland are being in

Opal. IS UNLUCKl
Stone FOR
BAKER

Harry Meyers. a former officer in
the Matson Navigation Company. well
known to travellers In the steamer
Lurline and Wilhelmina, may return
to sea duty as purser in the Oceanic
liner Ventura to take the place OF +,
V. F. Baker, who has been held on the
Coast charged with completely in the
smuggling of $4,000 worth Of dis
monds and precious stones.
Bakers arrest at San Francisco was
brought about. II is said, by his en-.
deavor to return to Mrs. b. j. Fran.
els OF Sydney. N S, W., an uncut opal
valued at $4,000.
Before the Miltson steamer Wilhel.
nina sailed for Honolulu 1t was ru-
mored that Meyers had been offered
the position Since leaving the Mat
son service he has been employed ON
shore for more than two years.
Purser Baker, who has visited Ho-
nolulu for four years as an officer in
the Oceanic fine, was arrested by
Special Agent w. II. Tidweh as an
accomplice of Mrs. Francis. He was
to have a hearing in the superior court
at Los Angeles.
Baker Is the son of minister who
went to the Samoan islands more than
so years. ago. The father settled on
an island, where he afterward became
known as "King" Baker. During his
life he was presented with seal by
Bismarck, and became warm person
al friend of the late King Edward of
England.
Baker, ignorant OF the fact that
Mrs. Francis was under arrest, sent
the opal to Mrs. Francis room. At that
moment she was being questioned by
federal officials. Bakers arrest fol-
lowed
TidweIl said Baker had confessed to
him that while crossing the Pacific
Mrs. Francis agreed to pay him $25 II
he would smuggle the smaller gems
and the giant opal ashore for her,
which, he says, he did. The customs
officials think that she. invented her
story in her efforts 70 protect Baker.
The jewels were secreted by the
woman in a clever manner, and one
