Harrison S. Robinson, of San Fran
eico. representing the Pacific Coast
Shipbuilders, rave out a statement to-
. i . hi in which he said:
The passage of the shipping board
soorooriation by the house of represent
..tuea today Is particularly trratlfylnc
.. the supporters of the shipbuilding
industry on the Pacific coast for three
reason: Klrst. conaresa has formally
approved the minimum programme of
he shipping board, which calls for the
einenditura during the year wnicn
commences today of 1704.800.000. This
means that there Is no dancer or any
further suspensions or cancellations by
reason of lack of funds.
Relsjalateaseata Are F.apeetea.
"Second, the shipplna; board Is now
In a position to co forward with the
.naktnr of substantial reinstatements
t suspended contracts in those cases
where, as Chairman Hurley has ex
pressed it. Injustice was done by the
original order of suspension. Tha mat
:rr of these reinstatements necessarily
hm been held up until the shipplnc
board could be advised as to funds
which would be available.
"In his testimony before the house ap
propriations committee. Mr. Rosslter.
director of operations of the shipping
hoard, testified that the suspensions
made on the Pacific coast early In this
year were 'rather ruthless, and ln-Hi-r.trd
his entire sympathy with and
r-.t-nton to supnort a reasonable pol
icy of reinstatements.
More faafraeta Premised.
"Third, congress has heard with ap
proval statements of the Intention of
the shipping hoard to build additional
I irse ships of from 12.000 to 15.000 tons
deads eicht capacity up to a total cost
of $I00.w00.ooo. provided funds for the
lurpose can be obtained from the sale
of a number of the smaller vessels.
The appropriation bill carries an au
thorisation permitting the shipping
board to contract for new vessels up
to a total of $100,000,000.
It is certain that many of the con
traits for these ships will go to the
highly efficient Pacific coast yards,
which produced during the period of
rational emergency more than 50 per
rrnt of all the steel tonnage delivered
to the government.
9ale Kaaae Are Available.
In Its tequest for a total appropria
tion of I704.UOO.OOO the shipping board
asked for new monies to the extent of
11.000.000. undertaking to raise $213,
eou.OO from balancea of old appropria
tions and from cash receipts during the
ear realised from the sale of ships.
The original exaction of the house was
to cut the new appropriation from
1 lsl.000.000 to :i5.000.0o0. The senate
restored tne figure to $491. 000.000.
"The final Joint action of both bouses
of congress provides $.li.000.000 In new
monies. This figure was adopted be
cause of the belief by some members of
congress that the shipping board could
raise a larger amount from the sale of
shipa and could use for the purpose of
ahlp conatruction larger sums from ex
isting funds than the board Itself had
estimated.

The original tonnage of the vessel
was 14 and by removing the sides of
the lower house it was reduced to less
than 100 tons, which gives her the ap
Dearance of a small Mississippi river

Willamette Iron Works Making
Speedy Work of Extensive Repairs
on Former Government Dredge.
First of the three big Scotch marine
boilers built for the Union OH com
pany's tanker Oleum went into place
at the plant of the "Willamette Iron
& Steel Works yesterday, and the others
will follow in short order, and so con
fident is A. O. Pegg, superintending
engineer for the oil corporation, that
the $123,000 job outlined is to be fin
ished on Time that he has fixed July 21
as the date of the trial trip.
The Oleum reached the plant a week
ago yesterday. Her old boilers, which
had been In the ship since her con
struction in 1900, had to be removed.
Preliminary to that a strip of the
steel deck, alongside the after hatch
was cut away, then the boiler fasten
ings released and a number of other
smaller Jobs undertaken, but Thursday
the first of the old boilers was hoisted
by the sheerlegs. The fact the first
went into place prompted Mr. Pegg to
remark yesterday that the force at the
Willamette "went at the Job as thougn
they had been repairing ships always.
The Oleum was originally the United
States dredge Thomas, having been
built for work on Ambrose channel, at
New York, being laid up at the comple
tion of the original project It was
about nine years ago that the Union
Oil company purchased her. removing
the pumps and dredging gear and con
verting her Into a tanker for the Cali
fornia-Columbia river trade, fehe has
a capacity of 44,000 barrels and plies
here with the Washtenaw and Argyll.
The new boilers have a diameter of
14.9 feet, while the old ones were 13.6
feet, so the former are the same as the
government is installing in the 8800
ton steamers building here. In addi
tion to new boilers she is to have new
breeching, new casings, new stack, also
the engines are to be overhauled, the
condensor retubed and overhauled.
while she will be drydocked for clean
ing and repainting the hull.
SEATTLE DRIVER KILLED
MURDERERS COMMIT 7 SIMILAR
CRIMES IX 18 MONTHS.
Thomas Ryan Found Shot Through
Head in River and Car Re
covered Xear Olympia.
SEATTLE. Wash.. July 1. (Special.)
Thomas Ryan, rent car driver, whose
body was found in the Duwamish river
Monday, was the seventh automobile
driver to fall a victim to murderers in
IS months in the vicinity of Seattle.
Robbery, it is now believed, was not
the motive for the murder.
Ryan was shot twioe in the back of
the head, evdently by a passenger
that he is known to have started from
Seattle with for Tacoma. The passenger
stated, according to Domlnick Scozza
fava. a fruit dealer, who was present
when the man secured the car, that
he wanted to pick a woman up a few
blocks distant.
The finding of the automobile driven
by Ryan and which was taken by the
murderer on the Olympic highway, near
Olympia, has changed the base of op
erations of officers seeking the mur
derer to Thurston county. Deputies
from King county and detectives from
Seattle went there today to work on
the case in the hope of picking up
Information. According to Scozzafava,
Ryan did not carry a purse. Nearly
$10 was found in one of Ryan s pockets.
Local police are checking Ryan's
movements. He is known to have had
money in a safety deposit vault, and
this was found intact by the coroner
today.

INIrs. Davis Says Smothering
Spells and Other Troubles
End When Tanlac Re
lieves Indigestion.
"Tanlac has piven me just what I
have been looking- for now for 21 lone
years," says Mrs. J. W. Davis, who lives
at Spokane Bridge, Wash.
"I just cant begin to tell you all T
have suffered she continued, "and
when I look back over all those long
years I wonder how I managed to live
through It all. I suffered terribly from
indigestion every time I ate anything,
for my stomach was in such bad condi
tion that my food just seemed to form
into a lump. This undigested, sour food
would cause gas to form so bad that it
was simply out of the question for me
to get a good breath. Then there were
times when I would become nauseated
after eating and couldn't retain my
food. I had headaches, too. and oh!
when one of those awful spells of sick
headache came on me I would just suf
fer death, almost. Then I got to where
I couldn't sleep very well, for almost as
soon as I got settled in bed I would
commence to have smothering spells.
Now all this suffering kept up day after
day for 21 years, and I had reached the
point where I was about past going.
'I saw Tanlac advertised then, and I
commenced taking it right away, and to
my surprise I began to improve before
I had finished my first bottle. I have
been improving ever since, too, and I
am now enjoying as good health as I
ever did. I have a splendid appetite
and thoroughly enjoy my meals, and
everything I eat agrees with me per- I
fectly. 1 never have indigestion or any j
kind of stomach troubles now, and have j
gained so much strength and energy
that I can do all my housework with I
perfect ease. And those terrible head-
aches they have left me, too, and that :
alone Is enough to make me praise Tan- i
lac as long as I live. I don t have those -
smothering spells any more, and I sleep
just fine every night. When I get up
in the morning now I feel so rested and
refreshed, and that tiled, worn-out feel
ing has left me entirely. I know there
is not another medicine in the world
that equals Tanlac, and I never lose an
opportunity to tell others about the
great good it has done me."

Marine Notes.
Further examination of the forward part
of the hull of the steel steamer west Har
lan indicates the damage is more serious
than was first supposed, and It is felt most
of her cargo will have to be discharged and
the vessel drydocked. A diver has reported
that extending downward from the 10-foot
mark the stem is badly damaged and plates
buckled aft from there several feet. The
forefoot also suffered from the impact with
rocks below Skamokawa, where she struck
early Friday morning, when her steering
gear failed.
The steamer Graham ona. of the Tellow
Stack line, which struck a rock on the
Snake river a week ago. arrived yesterday
and berthed at the East Washington-street
terminal. A soft patch was applied so the
vessel could make port under her own power.
Immediately after the accident the vessel
was beached and her passengers sent here by
railroad.
The steamer Phyllis of the E. K. Wood
Lumber company fleet built at Aberdeen In

STATIONS.
Vnhirlp Leaves Kails and Bunts
Automobile to Sidewalk.
Exactly as though imbued with a
grudge of lang standing, a Brooklyn
street car left the rails at the corner
of Yamhill and First streets late yes
terday, deliberately trundled across
the street and tossed a contented little
delivery car of popular make onto the
sidewalk in front of the Lilly seed
store.
"That's a dirty trick when a car nas
to leave the rails to 'get' a Ford," com
mented one of the first arrivals at the
scene.
The machine belonged to tne -acnic
Oyster company and h,. I'apaynaKos,
head of the concern, had only a minute
before parked it while he entered a
nearby store. Loss of a tire and
slightly ben frame were the only dam
ages sustained by1 the machine. The
street car was pulled back on the rails
in a few minutes and traffic resumed
its normal course.
AUDITOR ASKED TO REPORT
Alleged Inefficiency by City Em
ployes Requested.
Citv Auditor Funk was yesterday re
quested to furnish a complete report in
connection with nis cnarges 01 in
efficiency in city departments which
has resulted in the double payment of
bills and also to present recommenda
tions which will tend to correct the
alleged evil.
According to Aumtor runK, aiiegea
carelessness on the part of city em
ployes has resulted in the loss of hun
dreds of dollars to the city and that
more than $1000 have been returned
to the city by firms of the city which
prove his charges of lack of system.
Mayor Baker has called upon Audi
tor Funk, as the principal auditing of
ficial of the city to devise some system
which can be adopted and which will
avoid, as far as possible, duplication of
the mistakes.
