The Maverick figures prominently

her wanderings Is incorporated in At

With reference to the stay of the
Maverick at Hilo and her subsequent
departure, Attorney Preston stated:
Purchase Of Maverick
'"The Maverick, an obsolete oil tank
err, was purchased from the Standard
Oil Company of San Francisco on
March Is, 1915, by John F. Craig OF
the Craig Shipbuilding Company Of
Long Beach, at the instigation Of JOS
eph J. Bley. The price paid was
$4,000.
Arthur Page of Page Brothers, 80
California street, ship brokers, were
told by Harry ]. Hart in the early part
of March, 1915, that the Maverick was
for sale, suggesting that they secure a
buyer for her. A. A. Moran Of Swayne
& Hoyt told Page to get an option on
the Maverick and Page secured a re-
fusal from the Standard Oil Company,
the price to be $4,000.
"On the last day of the option Fred
Jebsen sent for Page and asked for
the opinion when the option to Moran
had expired and gave Page $1,000 in
cash to get the extension of the option
from the Standard Oil Company. This
$1,000 was given the Standard Oil
Company with memorandum. Moran

jected to paying this price for a boat
originally worth about $4,000, there
was a squabble and Moran vamoosed.
John F. Craig was selected to make the
final purchase. He claims he was in

Germans Pay Bills
THE boat was taken to Long Beach,
where it was repaired, 1000 being
sent to Craig to pay for the repairs
by the German consulate in San Fran
CISCO. The next step was the organi-
zation of the Maverick Steamship Com
pany by Ray Howard, a Los Angeles
attorney, at the request of Jebsen, who
practically ran the German consulate.
Janitors, hangers-on and other en-
ployes were incorporators of the conf

ferred to Jebsen.

had been let on time charter to the

faring men are coming to call nests"
of submarines, and once in one of these
nests there is little chance OF getting

The nests serve another purpose for
the Germans. When a steamer is at

consequence is that the only ships

The fact that the presence of a subma-

away from the danger as rapidly as
possible.
the danger zone these days are equipped
with everything possible TO conserve
the lives of those aboard. There are
piles and piles OF lifebelts all over tho
ship, easily accessible to those aboard.
The lifeboats are more than adequate
for all, with the realization that at
least part of them might be destroyed
by the explosion of torpedo or in the
launching which might be forced under
unfavorable conditions.
Those who run the biggest risk OF
losing their lives at sea in the event Of
being torpedoed are the engineers and
firenlen Of steamers, who work far down
in the bottom of the ship. These men go
below with a knowledge that they may
never come out alive: they pin their faith
in the ships officers on the bridge. but
they do it willingly. One of the most
things about the subma-
rine campaign is the attitude OF mind.
the daring of the firemen and engineers
who pass half their time in the danger

There are advantages and disadvan-

patrol vessels or passing steamers.
Shipmasters arriving in ports Of the
Atlantic coast these days are reporting
that they have been sighting lifeboats
well out at sea. Some of them have
been empty, while others contain
bodies of crews who have died from
exposure and starvation.
Few steamers these days will go near
a lifehoat drifting in the open sea,
even though it is only mile or two
away Unless there is some call or some
sign of life in the boat the steamer will
pass along. The reason for this is that
the Germans, realizing the long-estab-
liShed brotherhood of the sea. have
treacherously placed lifeboats adrift in
order to lure steamers to their doom.
The lifeboat is used as a bait, while
the submarine is submerged. Then,
when the steamer is in a proper posi-

Germans is a sliding periscope. which

to go back q little in the history of the
movement in Washington. In 1915. through
the urgent appeal of Miss Margaret Will

the District school houses as community
centers. Encouraging as this was for
beginning, 1t did not cover the whole
situation, for it failed to recognize the
proper right of adult citizens to use the
buildings. 1t left the control of both
adult and juvenile activities unqualfiedly
in the hands of the board of education
and it also failed to provide funds for the
proper development of the plan. But
