SHIPPING
PERSIA SMASHED
into PIER 3 At !.
MANILA

Crashing into Pier at Manila last
month, the T. K K liner Persia Maru,
formerly the Pacific Mail liner Per.
STA. due here Wednesday from San
Francisco on her way to the Orient,
narrowly escaped serious damage,
says the Manila Bulletin.
Had it not been for the powerful
quartermaster's tug General Weeks,
assisted by customs launches No. 5
and Jolo, there is every reason to be.
lieve the Persia Maru might have been
seriously damaged and its departure
delayed" says this paper T.
THE Persia Maru had cast off from
Pier 3 about o'clock that evening
and was heading out into the bay
when, by reason of strong tide set
yond control and drifted practically
helpless toward shore in the small
basin between Pier and Pier !. T..
Anchors were thrown out fore and
aft and the huge steamer swung in
toward the north side of Pier 3. Be.
fore its progress could be arrested 1t
bumped into the middle portion of the
pier with a crash, driving its nose into
the concrete and wooden sides, caus-
ing huge V-shaped break in the tim
bers.
The General Weeks was just de-
parting for Corregidor when Captain
0lesen of that vessel saw the liners
predicament and at once hooked his
hawsers to the Persia Maru. With the
assistance of the customs launches
the floundering liner was pulled out
clear and proceeded on it's way with
out further difficulty"

FINE MOTORBOAT
BUILDING FOR
I. LOCAL MAN

A mysterious and luxurious cruis-
ing motorboat IS feet long and of IL
feet beam, is being built at the ship
yards of Frank Stone on Oakland
Creek, near San Francisco, for Ho-
nolulu millionaire whose name is not
given. The Chronicle is authority for
this news Speaking of the motor
boat, it says:
One of the finest craft which has
ever taken the water is cruising mo-
tor-boat being built at the yards of
Frank Stone for a Honolulu million
aire. The vessel will probably go to
Hawaii under her own power, as she
is to have a Is horsepower Eastern
standard engine. which will drive her
through the water at II knots.
This vessel is So feet long on the
deck and II feet beam. She is being
luxuriously fitted and will have sleep
ing accommodations for eight persons.
At he same yard baby tug has
just been completed and class R
yacht 3S feet in length
Continuing, the Chronicle adds that
Oakland Creek presents the busiest
aspect N years. in shipbuilding and
repair work, and at the same time is
practically deserted by all craft that
can carry cargees, except the salmon
fleet of windjammers which are being
prepared for the annual cruise to
Alaskan waters. The only two old
steamers familiar in this port which
are now lying on the fats are the Cos
ia RIGA and the City of Sydney, and
fb O latter 10 baiDc dicma ntlpd IN ho
made over as 4 barge. ...
There are four or five Old steam
whalers lying at anchor, but other
than these there is nothing in the
creek which could carry a cargo. The
big windjammers of the salmon fleet
are Respondent in new paint and shin
ing woodwork, and within a short
time they will have sails bent ready
to get out into the north. for a season

Baby Elephant F..
Bears Name of
James GEdden
T. X. KS Chief CommiSsary
Gains More Fame When Cute
Animal is Named for Him

Some men achieve fame by having
a cigar named after them, but James
Glidden, the debonair chief commits
sary Of the Togo Kisen Kaisha, goes
them one better, for he has a baby
elephant named after him, and that
is a real distinction. says the San
Francisco Chronicle.
Not that Jim needs any more dis
tinction, for he is famous as the man
who made T. K. K. service and food
known around the world
ON the Chiyo graru which arrived
from the Orient Monday. there was a
cute baby elephant. The baby did
not like the cold and forbiddIng inter.
ior of the dock and at frequent in
tervals shook the rafters with lusty
trunpetfngs. .
Whenever an extra loud trumpet
would be sounded Jim Glidden, with
his white carnation in his buttonhole,
would start down the dock in double
time and feed the elephant peanuts
and scratch his trunk stuck. out be-
tween the bars of the cage, 1t did
not make any difference what James
was doing, the elephant came first.
And so the steYedores named the
little fellow Jim Gltdden, in honor OF
his protector. When the baby was
carted away Glidden was at the dock
entrance and, as the dray passed, the
elephant gave one trumpet of farewell
to his friend. as the latter stood with
head barred in salute"

DIED OF STRONG DRINK.
Cat Became a Topper and Expired All
in One Night.

In an alcove of the jail yard, Ole,
the county jail cat lies buried be-
meath a neat mound of ashes and
cinders, with a crossboard bearing
the words "He died of drink" above
his head.
The legend on the crossboard is
true. Ole died of drink. Not drink
of poor quality, but smooth, 100
proof stuff that he imbibed not we'll
but too copiously.
Ole was locked in room contain
ing hundreds of quarts of liquor that
had been seized in raids. One of the
barrels Of whiskey had sprung
leak. Some of the pungent amber
liquid had made a little pool in the
centre of the floor. Ole Tapped at
it gingerly. 1t bit his tongue and he
made a wry face.
Then a. wonderful change came
over him. He felt rejuvenated. He
felt powerful and combative. Throw
ing back his head disdainfully, he
looked around for Deputy Bush's dog
that he might whip him. But the
door was locked. So Ole went back
and Tapped again at the queer, fiery
LIQUID that bit his tongue. 1t beat
any catnip he ever tasted. Again
he imbibed.
They found him at daybreak, and
buried him with impressive honors.
AS a mark of respect they half
masted the flag that drapes the pic
ture of Sheriff Hodge directly over
the fireplace. And so passed Ole, the
victim Of his waywardness, and
cracked stave in the biggest whiskey
barrel in the "evidence" room

THE SUBMARINE MATTER
n 8. TELLS GERMANY PRESENT
PLAN MUST CEASE.
Note May Cause Rupture i'm D1pio-
matte Relations or Cause
War.

Washington, April 19.-President
Wilson's long expected final warning
to Germany that the United States
will break off diplomatic relations un-
less she abandons her present
methods of submarine warfare, and
Immediately declares her intention to
do so, was delivered today in a note
to Berlin and was announced by the
president in an address to a joint ses-
sion of congress. The president de-
mands nothing less than the abandon
ment of submarine warfare against
commerce.
Both the presidents address and
the American note declare in un-
equivocal terms that only by Ger
many acceding to the demand can the
breaking off of relations be prevent
ed.
The president considers that the
next step depends solely upon Ger
many and that three or four days
constitute reasonable time for a re-
ply. He is willing to discuss how
submarine warfare may be conducted
within the limits of international law
and humanity after Germany aban-
dons her present methods.
Diplomatic history records only one
instance as yet where breaking of
relations between two frst-class pow
ers has not eventually brought
war-that which now exists between
Germany and Italy.
Attitude of Congress.
Congress received the PRESIDENT s
declaration of his course with mixed
evidences of concern and approba-
ton. Most of the leaders, Democrat
and Republican, thought the presi-
dent hardly could do less and some
expressed the opinion that his action
would not lead to war.
Republican Leader Mann alone Of
all the opposition leaders openly at
tackled the president for his stand.
He characterized it as political
play
President Wilson's words leave no
opportunity for double meaning. In
his address to congress he said:
Il have deemed it my duty to say
to the imperial German government
that if it is still it's purpose to perse-
cute relentless and indiscriminate
warfare the government of the

Excerpt From Note.
The note to Berlin declares: 49,.
.tThe government of the United
States has been very patient. 1t
has accepted the successive explana-
tions and assurances of the imperial
government as, Of course, given in
entire sincerity and good faith, and
has hoped even against hope that it
would prove to be possible for the
imperial government so to order and
control the acts of it's naval COM
manders as to square it's policy with
the recognized principles of humanity
as embodied in the law Of ma
tions. + 1t has made every allow
ance for unprecedented conditions
and has been willing to wait until the
facts became unmistakable and were
susceptible of only one intrepreta-
tion.
''It now owes it to just regard for
it's own rights to say to the imperial
government that that time has come.
Painfully Evident.
1T has become painfully evident to
it that the position which it took at
the very outset is inevitable, namely,
the use of submarines for the de-
struction of an enemy's commerce is
of necessity because it is the very
character of the vessels employed and
very methods of attacks which their
employment, of course, involves, ut
terly incompatible with the princi-
pies Of humanity, the long establish
ed and incontrovertible rights of neu-
trails and the sacred immunities of
non-combatants.
eff it is still the purpose of the i'm
perial government to persecute re-
lentless and indiscriminate warfare
against vessels of commerce by the
use OF submarines, * the govern
ment of the United States is at last
forced to the conclusion that there is
but one course it can pursue.
"Unless the imperial government
should now, Immediately, declare and
effect an abandonment of it's present
methods of submarine warfare
against passenger and freight carry
ing vessels, the government of the
United States can have no choice but
to sever diplomatic relations with the
German empire altogether
