MAVERICK
GIVEN UP
AS LOST
"Mystery" Ship OF Hilo Thought
to Have Been Destroyed in
Recent Typhoon
llEpD ~ aimee che departe

81 tNffEKRD OF since she departed
from Manila on August IA last
two and a half months ago--for
Honolulu without cargo, the freighter
Maverick, Hflo's famous mystery"
Rship OF 1915, is believed TO have been
lost in the tyDhoon that sorely but.
feted the transport Thomas in the
same waters.
This is the announcement made today
by naval authorities for no word has
come TO tell the fate of the old steam
er which left Manila just one day
ahead of the Thomas and which was
TO have proceeded on to the Eastern
coast by way Of the Panama canal
after a brief stay In this port.
Upon her arrival in Batavia in 1919
the Maverick was interned or detained
by the Dutch government, but was
later purchased by the South Atlantic
Transport Company OF Baltimore. She
left Batavia under the American flag
and proceeded TO Manila, arriving at
the Philippine port on August Z. She
spent just week in Manila before
departing on what was probably the
last voyage OF a rather romantic
career.
The name Maverick brings a thrill
yet In Hawaii, for the Today stay OF
the vessel in Hilo on an unexplained
voyage and without freight has never
been fully cleared up.
Sarmise was prevalent that the yes
sci was to meet the Annie Larsen
later and was then TO be rugged up as
q German raider, surmise which
may have been well founded, but
which went awry.
During her stay in Hilo the boat
was boarded by customs officials and
was finally allowed to clear upon
declaring that she was headed for Ba-
tavia. II was said that after her ar
rival there one OF her officers made
his way back to Germany and became
commander of U-boat.
The typhoon which is believed 60
have destroyed the Maverick was one
of the most severe ever encountered
off II Philippine coast Officers OF
the Thomas admitted the seriousness
OF II and many of those aboard we're
tn grave fear Of the pig vessels sink
ing. Finally after the storm had sub
sided the transport put back to For
Inosa for repairs.
The Maverick, though old, is said to
have been quite seaworthy, but 1t is
believed prabable that she was unable
TO ride the typhoon.

The lowest rate quoted as that

is 1915 per ton for steamers rated as

AMEND THE RULES FIRST

The President is right in insisting
that the right of unlimited debate
shall be abrogated before an extra
session is called or more serious
steps taken by the Executive that
might lead to war. The country has
had enough of the impression of di-
vided counsels that a failure to take
a vote may mean. Now while the
country is aroused to its danger and
the world is awaiting the issue, let
the Senate clear its decks of the ac-
cumulated debris of hundred wears.
Let the reorganization of the Sen
ate proceed under the motto that
only patriots should be put in posi-
tions of trust and responsibility.
When this is accomplished, the
country will breathe more freely
Those who have grazed the very edge
of treason will have their hands tied
instead of being able to tie the
hands of others. The storm NAV
break soon enough. There must be
no wrangling on the decks when it
does. The filibuster must be forever
prohibited from using his weapon
when the country is in danger.

THIRTY CENTS FOR PORK

Champ Clark was once foored by a
farmer, when he asked if there was
one good reason why a man should
vote the Republican ticket, and the
farmer replied, mine cents for
hogs" That seems long ago. Yes
terday hogs went to $15.O5 on the
Chicago market and that means, TAX
ing into account waste and trans
portation and dealers profits, 30
cents a pound for pork in Washing
ton. That is too high even for the
appetite of a Congressman. 1t is in
order to observe the precepts of
Moses for a while and eschew rather
than chew the forbidden ham. Then
hogs will fall again.
The Washington times., 1917-03-08
BIPARTISAN ORGANIZATION OF
THE HOUSE

The people by their votes have al
ready decreed it. They elected 215
Republicans and 215 Democrats, five
freak districts electing men who
were neither. The five independents
would hold the balance of power not
only in the organization of the House
but in the decision of party ques-
tions. Their support might be pur-
chased by either party at too great
a price.
Why not an All-American team :?
The questions on which the two great
parties differ have practically all
been decided and the acts carrying
out party policies cannot be repealed
until the Senate majority changes.
The international questions that
must be decided and the supply bills
that must be framed are American
and not party measures.
We venture to suggest good All
American eleven for the House.
Elect Champ Clark Speaker, which
will save Republicans the embarrass-
ment of voting for Mann. AS be-
tween Kitchin and Mann for floor
leader, elect Lenroot-of two evils
choose neither. Gillett would be a
better American chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations than
Fitzgerald with his constant recon-
mendations of an embargo on exports
for the sake of Gripping Great Brit
ain. Glass is a better chairman of
the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency than Hayes of California,
while the Committee on Agriculture
might go to Haugen of Iowa instead
of Lever of South Carolina. Out of
the present Committee on Foreign
Affairs somebody like Harrison of
Mississippi could be selected, lacking
the whispering disabilities of Flood
or the flabby pro-Germanism of
Cooper. Give the Republicans Kahn
as chairman of the Committee on
Military Affairs. Let the Democrats
keep Padgett for Naval Affairs, put
Frear of Wisconsin in charge of
Rivers and .Harbors with instructions
not to bring in any bill not called
for by the military situation; abolish
the Committee on Public Buildings
for this Congress; elect a suffragist
Congressman to head the Judiciary
Committee in place of Webb of North
Carolina, and give Kitchin and Mann
joint control of the Committee on
Ways and Means.
Then the era of good feeling ought
to begin.
