DUTY, SHOOTS HIMSELF

VALLEJO, Cal, Oct 27.-The sui
eide of Sylvester H. Lawton, u. s. NJ,
one Of the best known and most pop
ular officers OF the Pacific fleet, who
shot himself at the Navy yard hospi-
tai last evening, is ascribed to de-
SpOndency due to ill health and the
fact that he was unable to return 10
active duty now that his country is
at war with Germany.

and executive officer of the cruiser
st. Louis, and was stationed at Yerba
Buena for some time. When the ship
was ordered to Hawaii he made the
trip to Honolulu and returned here
about four months ago to undergo
treatment for a nervous breakdown
at the Mare Island Hospital. He Wis
tied his father in town on several oc-
casions this week, and the news of
his nntimely death came as a great
shock to his relatives and friends.
Lawton was a son-in-law of Command
er and Mrs. Stacy Potts of this city,
and besides his widow is survived
by two sons His parents reside IN

NEW MEMBER OF
SHIPPING BOARD
KNOWS THE GAME
by Assosia Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. "a
Charles r. Page of San Francisco
who has just assumed his duties in
Washington, D. c., as q member of
the Federal Shipping board, comes
from family which has devoted itself
to the shipping business and its allied
activities as few American families OF
the present day and generation have
done.
During the good old clipper ship
days, when the American merchant
flag dominated the seven seas, this
common interest of a family in ship,
ping activities was a Characteristic OF
many New England households
Mr.. Pages father, the late Charles
Page, for years was associated with
Milton Andres in San Francisco in the
practice Of admiralty law, in which
both won wide reputation. The new
shipping board member is a nephew
of Arthur and George Page, prominent
San Francisco shipbrokers; and he IS
brother of Stanley H. Page, vice
president Of the Union Gas Engine
Company of Oakland, manufacturers
of marine engines.
Through his father, he is related to
famous Liliewalch family, owners OF
the Neptune Salvage Company of
Stockholm, probably the largest com
pany of its kind in the world.
Mr.. Page was born in San Francisco
on May "a, 1873, which makes him 40
wears of age II was natural that he
should be encouraged to develop an
early interest in maritime affairs
After graduating from Yale with the
class of 1900, he shipped from New
York as a member Of the crew of the
Arthur SewaIl, of Bath, Me-, a well
known sailing vessel. Upon his return
he went to Europe, where he travelled
extensively for the better part of a
year.
Last year Mr. Page, in behalf of the
Firemen's Fund Insurance Co., of
which he was general auditor, made a
careful trip of. investigation along
both the east and west coasts of South
America. In view of our rapid trade
development with South America, the
knowledge of conditions and customs
which he obtained on this trip should
be a material asset.
For the last ten years he has been
chairman of the adjustment commit
tee OF the San Francisco Board of Ma
rine Underwriters. He was also for
merly president Of the Association of
Marine Underwriters.

Primed to the top of their boilers

At the ship an attempt was made
to quiet them, to keep the jewellers
from disturbing the sleep of the pas
sengers. This caused trouble and
the police were called upon to semi
additional officers. Three or four ar.
rests were made and the reyel or riot
was checked.
The arrested men were allowed to

Ask the average man you meet
how many shipbuilding yards there
are on the Pacific coast, and he will
answer something like this:
We'll, there's the Union Iron
Works in San Francisco, and / be-
lieye there is also some kind Of a
yard over in Oakland. San Diego
has another yard and imagine there
must be one each in Seattle and
Portland"
AS a matter of fact there are
nearly $50 concerns on the Pacific
which build ships or what goes into
ships. ..
You cannot blame the average man
for being no better informed than
he is, for even the average shipping
man in Honolulu will deny the asser-
etion just given. But when he does
so he is thinking back to the pre-war
period when there really were only
a few shipbuilding yards on the Pa

larger concerns.

So great and so fast has this bust
ness grown that shipping men who
reIigicusly follow the Pacific coast
shipbuilding returns issued monthly
by the Pacific Marine Review are
constantly finding the names of new
companies. At the same time they
are surprised by the size and num-
Der of ships now being built
On the ways at the present time
on the Pacific coast there are nearly
100 ships Of over 5000 tons capacity
being built. Next largest in number
are ships of from 5000 to 1000 tons
: capacity. Many of these are large
schooners, being equipped with AUX
Hilary engines Of 100 horsepower or
more
In one of the almost unknown ship
yard in Portland, Ore, the Supply &
Balm Shipbuildng Corporation is
building two motorships of 1000 ton

Norwegian interests for delivery in

Up in Tacoma at the yards of the
Washington Shipbuilding Co. there are
eight more of the SS00-ton dead
weight freighters building, as can be
found to be the case in a dozen
other yards along the coast.
Down in the yards of the Union
Iron Works Co. the better known of
the Pacific coast shipbuilding con-
Germs, there are "a big vessels, tank
ers, steamers and freighters under

The blind man felt his daugh-

tense and relax and tighten again.
He tried to catch her hand, but
she avoided him. After that San
tome resisted no longer. He let
the servants help him to his room
His daughter went with him and
saw that he was safe In bed.

don't agree with Donald. do you?
that Mr.. Eaton went to the
study to-to get something, and
killed Cousin Wallace?"

So, instead OF being estranged
By Eaton's manner to her father,
she felt an impulse OF feeling to-
ward him flooding her.
Bundling the correspondence
together, she revealed the second
wall-safe corresponding to the one
20 the right of the door from
which she had taken the papers.
The combination of this second
safe was known only to her faith
or and herself. She put the en-
vslopes into 1t. closed II, and re-
placed the books.
At dinner. she noted that Avery
seemed moody; something, clear
ly. had irritated and disturbed
him; as the meal progressed, he
vented his irritation upon Eaton
openly. Instinctively she tried to
help him, but Eaton put aside her
assistance.
Before Eaton's entrance into
her life she had supposed that
some time she was going to marry
Avery. She knew now that she has
accepted him not because he had
become necessary to her. but be-
cause he had seemed essential to
her father.
Donald had social position and a
certain amount of wealth and pow
er; now suddenly she was feeling
that he had nothing but those
things.
After dinner she sat down at
her piano and ran over the songs
from new opera. Eaton followed
her with the delight of a music
lover. She noticed that he was
familiar with almost everything
she had liked which had been cur
rent up to five years before; al
later music was strange to him
But so far as her music could as

The next morning Harriet told
Eaton that Avery would invite

He managed to accept so that
Miss Davis heard the time he

When he and Avery had gone,
Basil Santoine sent for Harriet

did so and came upon the two

playing. Eaton stood off by him

He pretended little knowledge
of the game, but she noticed that
he betrayed keen appreciation of
its fine points. Finally Avery
challenged Eaton and the latter,
borrowing a mount and togs, ac-
cepted.
Harriet felt her pulses quicken
as Avery and Eaton raced side by
side for the ball. Eaton might
not have played polo before. but
