thing doing all day. The celebration

..One of the things which struck me
as being very favorable was hospi-
tai in connection with the house of cor
rection in Chicago. where all emer-
gency cases are handled and where no
questions are asked.
Saw Seattle's Reclamation.
Il also investigated the reclamation
of an entirely new waterfront for the
port CT Seattle, which is now being
carried on under the direction OF the
board of harbor commissioners.
Strange as it may seem, the port OF
Honolulu for the month OF June had
less than 10 per cent of the shipping
done in Seattle and San Francisco.
Mr.. Forbes also arranged for the
designing of two pilot boats, one for
Hilo and the other for Kahului. The
designs are being made in Seattle. The
boats viii cost about 5000 each. They
will be So feet long and develop a
speed of 10 knots an hour.
At present the board of harbor COM
missioners of Seattle is engaged in the
construction of many wharyes end also
several reinforced concrete grain ele-
vators, says Mr.. Forbes. The last
bond issue was for $S,000,000 and is
being spent for this work. Mr.. Forbes
also inspected several waterfronts on
the great lakes.
Much Unemployment.
speaking of labor conditions
throughout the country he continued,
in Chicago alone there are 100000
mechanics out en- strike. The strike
has tied up about 100000 worth of
construction work. Work around Sc
attic is fairly plentiful. The only draw
back is the closing down of the lumber
mills. there not being a sufficient ex-
portation Of lumber.
AN interesting feature of my trip
was visit to the municipal dock at

be profitable and it is well regulated
under a commission.
Il also appeared before the board
of engineers in Washington, D. c.. but
only had conference with the acting
chairman. 1 took up with him matters
pertaining to the local waterfront, and
found the board to be in sympathy
with the work of the harbor commits

The secretary was quite familiar with
certain conditions in the islands and
inquired at some length on other mat

he continued
Il also took up with the board of
engineers in Washington, d. c., the
danger to our wharf structures owing
tc the uncompleted breakwater,' Mr.
Forbes went on. Il requested that
the board take up with Col, Cromwell
the question of expedition. stated
that Col. Bromwell was doing every
thing in his power to have the work
completed; that it was not my idea to
make complaint but to simply urge
the breakwater's completion.
AT the present time there is bill
before Congress for the amendment
of the present public utilities law.
was requested that the public utili.
ties commission be represented before
the committee on Pacific islands and
Porto Rico at the next session of Con-
gress, at which. time the matter will
be taken up.
Believes Act VIII Pass.
The amendment provides that all
franchises approved by Congress be
brought under the jurisdiction of the
public utilities commission. Mr..
Forbes says that from the study which
already has been given the amend
ment, its passage is reasonably assur-
ed.
Commenting on the political situa-
ton, Mr.. Forbes said:
Finds Wilson Strong.
The political situation at the pre-
sent time is very. interesting. As ]
was informed by some of the most
prominent Republicans, they do not
believe that there is a man who will
be able to defeat Mr.. Wilson.
"A number Of cities throughout the
country are setting aside day to be
known as Wilson Day, and the
churches have also taken up this
movement in their thanksgiving for
peace.
New York City is suffering consid-
erably as a result of the war. The
vessels of all the Allies are tied up at
the wharves, and have been since the
beginning of hostilities.

ONE DROWNED AND
THREE RESCUED
Bathers Venture Out too Far and
Are Rescued by Guards


wildwood grieves over the fact that
one life was the toll Of the sea and is
glad to note that three had been rescued.
On Sunday morning Anthony Perry
and Arthur Dominick, both of Phlladel-
phia, ventured out too far and Life
guards Dougherty and Young answer-
ed their cries for help and brought them
In somewhat exhausted, but in a short
time they were able to go to their bath
Ing houses and were later seen mingling
with the crowd. About the middle OF
the afternoon Theo. George and Mich
ael ]. Ryan were seen swimming di-
rectly out to sea. The close shore bath
ers paid little attention to them but
presently Captain Needham and Guard
Delker were seen to rush INTO the water
and make their way out to the two men.
Mr.. Ryan was brought in, but there
was a different proposition to be met
in MI. George, a man weighing up
wards Of two hundred and fifty pounds.
He had SWAN out to a bar that is separ-
ate from the main bathing beach by a
deep gully and here 1t 10 supposed he
was seized with cramps, and in con-
junction with the heavy undertow that
is quite strong that far out-about four
squares-he became exhausted. 1t was
here that Captain Needham had his
own troubles, for he had almost a dead
weight, after the victim was Ia shape
to handle, and the heavy underto W,
but the captain is q powerful swimmer
and brought his man in. Although
terribly exhausted he placed the man
on the pulmotor platform and with the
assistance of the other guards worked
over him for twenty-seven minutes, but
life was gone and Undertaken Ingersoll
was notified and temporarily took
charge of the body. Mr.. George was
about 48 years of age and leaves a wife
and baby a year old. He vas a men,

other organizations. The sad part of
the affair was he had just obtained a
ten days furlough from the navy yard,
where he was foreman of the water de-
partment on q battleship. and had
taken up his residence with Mrs. Hand,
on East Garfield avenue.
The grief stricken wife Is holding up
well under the blow and as the navy
department will take final charge of
the body, the interment will be in
Philadelphia. Great credit is due
Captain Needham and his guards for
their promptness, al there might have
been more lost but for their presence
of mind. Mr.. George resided at 2432
south Broad street, Philadelphia, and
Mr.. Ryan was also of the same city.

ARE YOU HURTY" HE ASKED PAINFULLY.
her now gracefully acquired exit from
the window a firecracker fell from
above and shot off in her garden. An
gela started and covered her face.
A young man descended quickly by
means Of the iron ladder.
Are you hurt?" he asked fearfully.
Angela uncovered her face and look
ed up. "N-no, l think not. I was
frightened" she said, looking at the
remains of the offending firecracker.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
at was awfully careless of me-" he
went on, standing on the bottom rung
of the ladder. Angela's garden was
hardly large enough for two. II was
just playing little boy again and try
ing to imagine myself in the country
instead of a city apartment. 1 hope
you'll pardon me-" There was so
much self reproach in his tone that
Angela felt that he was truly sorry.
"Of course I'll pardon you," she said,
with the merest suggestion of a laugh.
81 won't shoot any more crackers to-
day. A miss is as good as a mile and
it might be a mile next time," he said,
lingering the leaf of a %nasturtium
which had found its way up along the
railing.
"But, indeed, l won't be out here
long" began Angela, wondering why
she was not angry because he remain
ed or the ladder. "I'-
"You may remain here oil day." he
interrupted. 81 have done enough mis-
chief for one Fourth"
The girl stopped over and began to
twist a willful vine into place. The
young man could not help hoping that
he might some day influence the rare
human flower before him along the
path he wished it to travel as easily
and gently as she twisted the nastur-
tium about the iron bar.
He turned and began to climb the
ladder.
II Am sorry I stepped out SO inoppor
timely and marred your Independence
day." said Angela, looking up at him.
please don't stop your fireworks for
me-"
MARRIED my Independence day" he
said to himself as he closed the win
dow upstairs. well, l don't know
about that, but she's marred my peace
of mind. Joye, she is prettyT'
So the young mar in the apartment
above Angela's garden found it neces'
sary to rise earlier than was his habit
after hat Fourth of July morning for
a little fresh air.
And Angela? 1t may be that her
flowers received less attention after the
Fourth of July. But perhaps the ex-
ploding of that f%irecracker hindered
their progress; smoke stunts the
growth, they say.
1t was raining one morning when
Angela opened the window. Close to
the ladder stood a pot of flowers which
Angela had not planted, n which she
had never seen. 1t was tall and green,
and all oyer 1t hung little red hearts
She was glad 1t was raining and that
she could not go out among her flow
ers, because she wanted time to think
time in which to be angry. But some.
