fire is believed to have started In
it's vicinity.
Mr.. Kopf said the locker which
was supposed to be locked was, IN
fact, unlocked, and that he and
at least one other member Of the
stewards crew and an unknown
Cuban youth had had access to 1t
while the Moro Castle was in Ha-
vana. The locker was packed with
blankets.
Q.-Who had charge of the
locker?
A.-Ramos, a Cuban. He's dead
now.
Q.-Was he present when you
looked into the locker in Havana?
Ayes, he and a Cuban boy
about IS. He was helping Ramos
clean.
Q.-Who was this boy?
Al don't know his name. He
doesn't work on the ship.
Q.-What? Doesn't work on
the ship? He was helping clean
wasn't he a member of the crew?
A.-No, he's a Cuban, same as
Ramos. He got on in Havana to
help him. He lives in Havana.
Mr.. Kopf went on to explain
that the pair were cleaning the
writing room and library with
rags. He couldn't see whether
they were using any polish Of any
kind.
The testimony was regarded as
significant in view of the positive
assertions of previous witnesses
that forbidden, highly inflamma-
BILE poliShes were smuggled aboard
and hidden somewhere on the ship
and that the origin of the fire was
in, or somewhere near, the locker,
and that the locker blew up.
Hunt for Bay
Then the hearing was adjourned
for luncheon Mr.. Hoover said he
would request United States Gov
ernment agents in Havana to start
immediate hunt for the Cuban boy
who Mr.. Kopf said had access to
the writing room locker. Mr..
Hoover said that if the boy IS
found he will be questioned about
any knowledge he may have OF
polish or any other explosives
smuggled into the locker.
Bernard j. McNally, Of the
Bronx, New York, a Store-keeper
aboard the MORO Castle, vehe.
mently denied he had known OF
any forbidden polishes on the ship.
James Pond, of Woodhaven, l..
l., second steward, followed Mr..
McNally to the stand.
Mr.. Pond frankly admitted
there had been laxity among the
stewards in fire drills and that
Acting Captain Warns recently
had called him to account for
this. He said:
'T explained a lot Of the men
had been excused from drills to
attend tea service"
Then Mr.. Hoover asked:
''DO you know what was stored
in the locker in the writing
room where the fire is believed
to have Started?"
A. Yes. It was packed full of
blankets. I personally supervised
the packing last April and they
never were removed.
Looked in Locker
Q.-Do you know whether there
were any cans of inflammable
polish hidden there?
A.-Not that I know of, sir.
I looked in the locker at Havana,
but, Of course, I didn't look under
all the blankets.
Q.-Who had the keys to the
locker?
A.-The librarian and I. OF
course, the three men responsible
for cleaning the library might have
borrowed the key.
Q.-Who were these three men,

 SAN FRANCISCO WATERFRONT RIOTS

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5-Adj. General Seth Howard on orders from Governor Merriam caused Cali fornias National Guard to be mobil- ized rapidly today in armories here and in neighboring cities, prepared to swing into waterfront activity at any moment. The National Guard was called after a series of terrific riots centering upon Rincon Hill had turned the waterfront into a shambles. While bullets whizzed and tear gas shells exploded, men crum- pied to the sidewalk, a score shot in the days succession of bloody clashes.
 The call for the guard came while a mob of 5000 charged the Embarcadero near Pier IA, and po- lice sought to repulse them. Round upon round of tear gas shells and bombs, and then with rifle and re- volver fire. Two machine guns and a number of riot guns were rushed to the front in response to an urgent appeal to the Hall of Justice.
 The call for the guard was is- sued, it was explained, ito protect the lives and property of San Fran cisco, when it appeared the rioting had resolved into chaos and was out of police control. In San Francisco and Oakland, uniformed guardsmen, fully equipped, began streaming into the armories in response to the mobilization call which was broad cast on the radio and telephoned by

Campbell Bros. Store
 Building Under Way

The carpenters on the Campbell Brothers store building on which construction started in May were laid off yesterday due to a delay caused the plumbers by failure to receive supplies. It is expected that the heating and plumbing work will have reached point by the middle of next week where the carpenters can go back to work.
 Construction of the building has progressed surprisingly well in con- sideration of the many interruptions and delays occasioned by the water front labor troubles at Seattle which has tied up shipping for the greater part of the past seven weeks.
 The new building, under contract by c. c. Rulaford and A. B. Ander- son, was scheduled to be finished by August 15. Campbell Brothers have extended the time a month and MT. Rulaford, who has charge of build ing operations, believes that the cient
 When completed Campbell Broth CTS will have a thoroughly modern and attractive building in which their business can be conducted efficiently. The building is A by SS feet, two stories in height and extends from Front street to the alley, adjoining the Bank of Alaska building.
 The main store is A by 50 feet, two offices will be at the rear, also a store room within which a cool room is built. The upper floor will also serve as store room.
 The building is carefully con structed. Local lumber has been used with the exception of fir gir- ders from Puget Sound, The coast climate has been taken into con sideration and besides concrete foundation there will be a concrete floor laid in the entire building, topped by a wood floor on 2-inch sleepers. The siding is of local red cedar
 The metal insulation of all the side walls has attracted much at tention, as it is the first time such material has been used in Wrangell. It is composed of highly polished sheet aluminium laminated with waterproof cement to each side of tough kraft paper and seems to be exactly the insulation material needed in this climate.
 A warehouse which will be built 1cross the hack of the lot adjoining he store building will be reached oy a driveway from Front street IS well as an alley entrance.
 The front of the building will be of stucco, with a marquee the entire width.
