COMMITTEE SAYS
KUHIO WHARF IS
NOT SAFE BERTH
Report is Rendered to Chamber
of Commerce Telling OF
Investigations

Kuhio Wharf is not safe under pres
ent conditions in the opinion of the
maritime affairs committee Of the
Chamber of Commerce. At meeting
OF the chamber Wednesday afternoon
the committee filed a report on the
subject, made at the request of the
board of harbor commissioners and as
the result of several hearings.
Statements were made at these
hearings by representatives OF the
various steamship companies using
the wharf From these statements
the committee draws the following
conclusions: .-*..
Il. At the present time the wharf
does not offer a safe berth under all
conditions of weather, there being I'M
der certain conditions of wind and sea
an undertow at Kuhio bay affecting
the safety of vessels rnoored along
side Kuhio Wharf. N
Lighting Facilities Inadequate
"2. The channel and bay have not
had proper lighting facilities to allow
vessels to depart in safety from Kuhio
Wharf until after range lights were
put in operation June 80, 1916. .:.5
''3. Under certain conditions of
weather the undertow is such at the
Kuhio Bay Wharf that it does not, on
evidence submitted, permit of safe
mooring of vessels alongside.
a. Under the law, the master Of
vessel is held responsible for the
safety Of the ship, cargo and passen-
gers. Marine insurance is issued on
this definite understanding. and as a
matter of practise agents and owners
leave this matter entirely in the hands
of the master. ...>.. -.g@.:. 49, ia.
IS. The wharf today is not COM
pletely equipped to handle freight
with despatch. ...-s... -. .<...
From the above it will be noted
that your committees findings do not
agree with the facts as stated in the
appeal to the chamber in urging the
use of the wharf. ~
Your committee feels that as soon
as the wharf and bay offer a safe
berth with adequate facilities for ham
ding freight at a reduced cost it will
be to the advantage of all water trans
portation companies to use It, and that
until the wharf offers these advant-
ages it will do no good to urge any
company to send vessels there. We
recommend, looking to the use of this
wharf, that the chamber cooperate
with the territory and federal govern
ment officials in any effort to provide
the necessary facilities"
No action by the chamber on the
report followed. It was received and
placed on file' and the secretary in
structed to send copy to the harbor
board. ]. E. Sheedy. chairman of the
committee, said that many engineers
had been consulted and that there
were doubts as to the safety of the
wharf which could only be removed
by the reports of engineers still work
ing. at is possible that a supple.
mentary breakwater may be needed"
he said.

AFTER LIFE OF LAUGHS
Noted Clown Found in Cas-
Filled Room.

"Slivers," the clown who with the
Barnum & Bailey circus and in thea
tres the world over has amused
thousands, was found dead early this
morning in his room on the top floor of
30s West Seventy-frst Street.
Shortly before 2 o'clock Lieutenant
Hammell received a telephone call at
the West Sixty-eighth Street station
asking that patrolman be sent to the
building. On his way there Patrolmsn
Lasby met Patrolman Lyons. The two
entered the house, rushed TO the top
floor, where there was strong smell
Of gas, and tried the door. This they
found barricaded, and they worked with
crowbar for half an hour before it
gave way.
As the door swung in the gas fumes
almost overcame the policemen. Lyons
ran downstairs and telephoned for an
ambulance, and Lasby hurried INTO the
room and opened a window.
Inside he found man lying dead on
the floor, partly dressed. Near him was
q trunk, upon which was printed Fran
els Oakley, "Slivers."
