 Great Comfort.
 The Hiawatha is almost the last word in elegance. containing several large staterooms, bath, sun parlor )r observation room and library, The crews quarter are forward near which is the galley and the engine room.

 Dimensions.
 The boat is 98 feet long, 16 feet in breadth and draws six feet of water. It has a raised deck forward and an observation parlor amidships with the pilot house aft of the parlor. Two 80 h.p. Winton gas en- zines gives her 160 hp. and turn twin screws. The boat develops a speed of II knots and made 10 knots on the trip to Juneau from Ketchi- kan. The building plans make her an excellent sea boat. A Delco light ing system furnishes light for the vessel.
 Going Back.
 The Hiawatha will return to her mooring at ~Ketchikan, temporarily, as there the Forest Service has a dock and floats of it's own where the boat can ~be kept with safety. At present there is no place avail able for keeping boat of this size in permanent quarters here.
 To Be Cruiser.
 According to Charles H. Flory, chief of Alaska forests, the boat will be used as cruising boat for him. self and assistants. For the present the boat vii not see much service and the trip from Ketchikan to Jul neau was the maiden one since com ing from Seattle. Mir Flory is Oi the opinion, however, that much work will be found for her soon when the big tracts of pulp timber start being developed.
 The boat, it is said, is economical to operate as a crew of three men only is required, consisting of a captain, cook and engineer, while the deck work is done by Forest officials
 Captain Lyle Blodgett of Ketchi- kan. for many years in the service has charge of the boat.

FOREST SERVICE
 VESSEL BEAUTY;-.
 FORMER YACHT
Hiawatha One of Best Boats that Ever Entered Cas-
 tineau Channel.

One of the most beautiful vessels that has ever entered the port of Juneau is the Hiawatha, Forest Service vessel that is now at the Alaska-Juneau wharf discharging a cargo of household goods and office furniture belonging to officials of the Service who are moving their headquarters and homes from Ket- chikan to Juneau
 The Hiawatha, christened Don- naire when she was launched at Boston in 1914 is from the famous Lawley Brothers yards and was built as a private yacht for an eastern millionaire at a cost of $65,000.
 In 1917 the boat was purchased by the U. s. Navy for $33.000 and converted into coast patrol boat and a light calibre cannon was mounted on her bow and she was encased in a coating of war paint. She did patrol duty on the Eastern Coast until the close of the war.
 Fctest officials seeing the boat ly- ing at her moorings at the con clusion of her work asked for her and she was given to the Service without cost and put on the deck of a transport and brought to Seattle. This spring she was brought to Ket- chikan under her own power, tow ing two boats and carried l 5 tons of freight.
 Emerged Butterfly. [ During the time the vessel was in the naval service, coat upon coat of gray war paint was put over every part of her including the rails decks and brass work. Upon her ar rival at Ketchikan officials of tho service immediately began to gel the paint off of her and to bring back the original beauty of tho wood, work The job was a hard one but it has mostly been com. pleted and the boat emerged iron her cocoon a butterfly with beau tiful white body and lovely trim mings.

Says O'Brien
Value ON Which Company
Is Entitled to a Return
Has Been Exaggerated
Grossly, Asserts Counsel
Criticizes Prendergast
Declares Inquiry Will Fix
Total of 80 Instead of
40 Millions on Property

Corporation Counsel John O'Brien
yesterday criticized statement made
Saturday by Chairman Prendergast Of
the Public Service Commission relative
to the earnings of the New York Tele
phone Company under the increased
rates effective since March II. The
Corporation Counsel said that the
amount on which the company should
receive a return is grossly exagger-
ated.
"It Is certainly strange" Mr.. O'Brien
said, that Chirman Prendergast Of
Governor Miller's Public Service Com
mission should issue statement such
as l read in the papers dealing with the
increase of 80 per cent in the tele-
phone subscribers rate which was
granted by the predecessor commission
right in the middle Of the fight that is
being waged by. the city to keep the
Denies Statement Is Frank
what is there for Mr.. Prendergast
to find 80 especially significant in Mr..
Swayze's frank statement that the
company will earn trife over per
cent on the company's claimed fixed
property investments? Thera is moth
Ing frank about the company's state
ment which was filed with the commits
sion at the request of. the city. The
claim made by Mr.. Swayze Of s140,000,-
ooo as the amount on which the com
pany should receive return is grossly
exaggerated, and before the city gets
through with its fight at the hearings
before the commission it may be shown
the value OF the property does not ex-
ceed $80,000,000.
AT the hearings before the commits
sion the telephone company's own valu-
alton engineer made what we might we'll
term horseback appraisal, which re-
sembles the result Of nightmare more
than anything else, in which he put
the total value of the property at $685.

however, he figured over $4,000, 900 of

amount came from the rate payers.'

tempting to ascertain what is fair be-
tween the company and the rate PAYERS

inference then would result in q fair

Inc net earnings for April are said
to be 81 Sl,oso.oes.54, and that is a trids

Stillman Hearing
Is Expected To Be
Resumed Tomorrow
Hint Given of Important De-
velopments To-day as Re-
suit of New Facts OBJ
tanned by Mrs. Stillman

In spite Of reports that another at
tempt would be made to effect a set
tlement out Of court Of the Stillman di-
vorce case, John F. Brennan, who is
now head Of the legal staff of Mrs.
Anne UrquhaIt Stillman, said yester-
day he was ready to proceed with the
referees hearing scheduled to be re-
sumed tomorrow at Poughkeepsie.
Counsel for James A. Stillman indi-
Gated their attitude had not changed
since Cornelius J. Sullivan, chief law
yer for the banker, said several days
ago that no further negotiations for
an adjustment mould be considered.
1t was learned also that John E.
Mack, guardian ad litem for baby Guy
Stillman, who is named with Mrs. Still
man as co-defendant in the action
brought by the former president of the
National and City Bank, did not anti
clpate another postponement.
While those concerned in the case
expressed themselves as being prepared
to continue the legal fight tomorrow,
there was rumor that an important
development might occur to-day. This
rumor grew out Of the statement Of
q person familiar with Mrs. Stillman's
plans that her lawyers have come into
possession of new information which
has caused them to consider a flank
legal move. A motion to make the ref
eree's hearings public or to have the
case transferred to an open court was
said to be under discussion by Mrs,
Stillman's counsel.
The testimony which James Brown
Potter, father Of Mrs. Stillman, has
expressed willingness to give is con-
sidered by Mr.. Brennan and Mr.. Mack
to be of character that will add to
the strength OF the evidence hereto
fore gathered to dispute the allegations
of Mr.. Stillman.
Witnesses for Mr.. Stillman have been
notified to appear tomorrow morning
in the Office Of Daniel ]. Gleason, the
referee. They include Hugh Russell
an osteopath of Buffalo, who at the
last hearing gave testimony damaging
TO Mrs. Stillman. His direct exarnina-
tion has not been completed.
Mrs. Stillman. accompanied by her
father, Is expected to attend the hear

Caliph Hy-lan Vops He'll DO
The Counting Of City's Shekels
If There's To BE an Investigation of His Stewardship
as Reign Draws to Close He Qualities Himself as
Expert, and Followers Excaim Go To 1t, John! =

Ho, We of the Faith, who heed we'll
the muezzins' call to prayer, draw near.
Emirs, sheiks and pashas Of Islam who
love the wise deeds Of brave men, give
ear to the thousand and eighth tale Of
the good Caliph and those who sought
TO measure the heighth and depth Of
his goodness.
Now, it camc to pass that in the
fourth year OF the Profit, the time
drew nigh when the people were won't
to judge of the worth of those who
ruled over them. And In the market
place infdels aud such whom Allah
hath touched with madness cried out
strange things against the good Caliph,
Hy-lan of the Ruddy Countenance;
against the commander Of his Name
lukes, Abdul-el-Inright and all others
who obeyed his wise DEGREES.
But though their clamor penetrated
even the walls Of his palace the good
Caliph made as though he heard not.
And in his dreams vision came to
him of great tiger who devoured all
these of evil speech. Aud Mur-phee
the Mullah interpreted the vision to
him. Wherefore the Caliph smiled
and wondered If the Office carpet would
last another four years.
Trouble Comes Fast
There came to the palace gate mes
senger from afar, who flung himself
from his steed and shouted SO that the
Caliph might hear:
"Effendi, there approacheth q great
caravan!"
And Hy-lan Of the Ruddy Counte-
nance arose and quoth to his Grand
Vizier Sinn-ott, whose robes and his
manner OF wearing them were the pride
Of the palace:
Bring hither my silken turban Of
state and my burnoose of Office. Let
the tambours sound and the dulcimer
speak in honor Of the strangers. And
order the scribes to write me lordly
speech Of welcome"
But Sinn-ott made inquiry and re-
turned in haste to his lord, saying:
Brother of the stars and Of the new
moon, these be no men Of good repute
who journey hither to see thee and
thy glory. They come with arms, the
warrant and the subpoena FURNISHED
bright. In the market place they say
that they will measure thy goodness
and the worth of these thy servants,
And the rabble give them welcome"
Then rose the good Caliph and his
brow was dark with wrath, and he
asked:
"When come these men?"
And Sinn-ott, bowling as low as his
cloak would permit, replied:
"From che wells of wisdom. Even
from Albany"
And the Caliph sat him down again
and quoth:
"Bismillah!"
Then after many days the sheik who
led the caravan sent an emissary to
