TUG FLANDERS NOW
IN HER OLD BERTH

Moored at her old berth at Baylen
wharf, the hull of the tug VIM. Elan
ders may be found today. The hull.
minus house and smokestack, was
towed there at o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon after two tugs had siphoned
tons of water from the hull, which
was rescued the day before from the
bottom of the bay at point opposite
Red Bluff, where the steamer went
down on the morning of October 10
last.
1t was stated yesterday afternoon
by Captain Brobuk that the tug is
not leaking. There are several tons of
mud in the hull, it was stated, which
have to be cleared out, and in, due
time, it is expected, the steamer will
be in commission.
Capt. G. Marchetti had crew Of
men busy for the past several days,
rigging up the lifting apparatus, and
he said yesterday that the tug was
not taking drop of water, and that
she had been hauled from the mud
without trouble once the apparatus
had all been rugged up. He and his
crew came around to Baylen wharf
on the rescued tug.
The house and smokestack, which
broke away from the hull and floated
to another part of the bay, have
been located and anchored. The res
cue of this part of the tug will be the
next job attempted by Capt. Mar
chetti and crew.
There was much interest manifest
ed in the return of the tug to her old
berth, especially by those long around
| the water front.

MORE ILLICIT SALES
OF LIQUOR PROVEN

Harry Captain, colored, employed
in service club on Intendencia street,
was fined $50 in the recorders court
yesterday morning when evidence was
presented showing that on Sunday,
November 10, he had passed out beers
and a bottle of whiskey, and had re-
ceived the money and given change to
the purchasers. The liquor was pur-
chased In the morning while the beer
was bought and was being consumed
after dark when Captain Cusachs and
Officer Fillingim, who were present
and were witnesses to the sale, sud-
denly showed up, taking Captain in
charge.
This case, however, appeared not
to present the seriousness Of similar
cases in the past, from the fact
that there was considerable conflict
of testimony in the statements of the
city's two principal witnesses. For
that reason, it was stated there was
a smaller fine imposed by the re-
corder.

REVOLVER
4 COSTLY WEAPON

Robert Swami, colored, was fined
$50 in the recorders court Saturday
morning on charges of Threatening
with pistol and disorderly conduct.
The young negro, successful in
throwing rings at the shows Friday
night, had a revolver presented him,
and this was the weapon which he
is shown to have carried and present
ed in threatening manner when he
suddenly burst into room where
two colored women and negro youth
were, with the threat that he was
going to cover the landscape with
the body of somebody, or words to
that effect.

CROSSING STOPS
ARE DISCUSSED
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.
Washington, Nov. 25.-When shall
an operator of a motor vehicle be
compelled to come to a full stop at
a railroad crossing at grade, was the
question which occupied the most
consideration in the recent confer
ence at Washington, participated in
by representatives of the National
Association of Railway Commission
ers, the American Automobile Asso-
citation, and the American Railway
Association.
The meeting had as its purpose the
country wide adoption of a uniform
system of signals and other precau-
tionary measures, it being set forth
that zone sign should signify the
same thing everywhere, installed so
as to be in plain view of the driver
of vehicle and so that it could be
plainly read at night by automobile
headlights"
Unanimity existed as to the type
of first warning sign to be erected
by city, town, or county, and also
that it should be located not less
than 300 feet from q crossing. But
the full stop proposition came in for
much discussion.

About this time of the year occur thousands
of high school and college commandments over
the country and it is right and proper that the
graduate should have considerable attention and
interest. After while the blush of "just being
launched wears off, and our young man or
young lady finds that they are just part of the
big machine and that the effectiveness of that
part is strictly up to them. They will find that
the world is willing to give them chance, but
no more than chance and that nothing is to be
had unless worked for. They will find also, we
hope, that the fruits of life depend, above every
thing, on persistence. Application to the task
brings results far more than education, brillian-
cy or any other thing we know of. No stone so
big but what applied power for given length of
time will turn it over and no difficulty so great
that persistence and intelligent effort will not find
a way to overcome it. Problems vanish like
snow before the sun of summer when met cour-
ageously and many things that terrorize and
vex disappear as phantoms before the guerdon

mold our children's minds, teach them the pow
er of ''stick-to tiveness" and you will have done
more than ali books can tell.
