CONFUSION IN
NAMESLEADSTO
SAFETY REPORT

A plausible solution OF tie puzzle
which was caused by the reported
safe arrival o. the Union liner Wal.
runa. on the coast by the Associated
Press OF which no further details have
been received Is advanced by ship,
ping men who think that the names
Of the steamers WaimarlnU and Val,
runa were confused.
The arrival OF the Walruna was re,
ported about ~ days ago and when
that ship was "a days OUT from sgd
ney TO San Francisco on voyage that
usually TAKES only l. days. No news
OF the ship has since been received.
The reported arrival Of the Wairuna
was given a. about the date the Wal
marinO was due in San Francisco.
This latter vessel called here for coal
after an unsuccessful search for the
Wairuna in the South Seas. That the
report was d mistake is now accepted
without doubt
Little hope is held for the eventual
landing of the crew Of the Wairuna,
which must now be starving, if still
alive. The food supply carried by the
ship was sufficient only for a normal
voyage TO San Francisco.

INVESTIGATES SHIPPING
MOLASSES TO BRITAIN

Believing that by mixing molasses
with feed. the amount can be increased
and the price cheapened. r. Brombak.
a recent arrival in Honolulu from Eng
land, is investigating the feasibility Of
shipping Hawaiian mOlasses TO the
cattle ranches Of the British Isles.
Because of tho cost Of transporter
ton, the ultimate cost OF the mOlasses
will be Quip high, according to Mr..
Dromhak. Insurance rates are as high
as five and six per cent, he says. be-
cause of the great risk in travelling
the ocean. Upon these considerations
and the price of the mOiassos, Mr..
Brombak is expecting TO make some
decision concerning the purchase OF
moIasses, within the next ~ days.
He is representing himself and not

lieved.

SlIPBUILDlNG PLANS
 ARE AGAIN TIED UP
Letter From Denman Causes Goethals to Delay WOrk-Wil- son Must Settle Question of Authority Between Two.

Washington, July 16.-The govern ment's merchant ship building pro- gramme was halted today when Maj Gen. Goethals, manager of the ship ping boards fleet corporation, post poned his plan to requisition all steel merchant ships under construction and to let contracts for building two governmant-owned shipyards for pro- ducing fabricated steel ships.
 At Gen. Goethals' office it was said the postponement was due to a re- quest by Shairman Denman of the shipping board for a short delay to give the board time to go over the programme. This was denied at the shipping board, although the state ment was made that Gen. Goethals had been asked to supply additional information concerning his plans.
 Today's development was regarded as bringing to direct issue the ques- tion of who is to have supreme au- thority in carrying out the building programme-Chairm Denman or Gen. Goethals. Authority to spend $750,000,000 for acquiring great merchant fleet has been divided in an executive order between the shipping board and it's corporation, the board being aided to acquire vessels by pur- chase and the corporation to take charge of building.
 In announcing his programme last Friday, Gen. Goethals apparently as- sumed that as manager of the corpor- ation he would be given a free hand, but MT. Denman in statement to- night assumes responsibility for the tipping board, whose members are directors and stockholders of the cor poration.
 Officials who have watched the situ- ation develop and who have been con- cerned lest differences between Chair man Denman and Gen. Goethals hind CT the governments shipbuilding plans a time when every vessel that can be constructed is needed to meet the German submarine menace, de- clared tonight that President Wilson might be called on to settle the con- troversy.

Page, commissioner of agriculture, has arranged with the government warehouse commission so that force of classers and graders will be sup piled to the Arkansas Warehouse Board during the cotton season.
 The law creating the warehouse board requires the ginner to take two samples of every bale of cotton ginned by them. One of these the ginner keeps, the other is given to the farmer, and he can send this to the commissioner of agriculture, with the request that it be graded and classi- fled, and the government expert will do the work without cost to him. This permits the farmer to know exactly what he has sold, and if it has been properly classed by the buyer.
 Representative of the government bureau called on Commissioner Page Monday and stated as many men as were needed would be supplied to make the classifcations.
