On board was W. p. Holt. British Journalist, who cam orer to "do" America for tha London Dally Mad In tha SI hours between trips. Tha Mauritania was ready to sail shortly after noon, although Captain Terney said hs expected to hare his hands fall In getting raady for ths scheduled departure at o'clock. Ths cargo, principally apples, was stored by acores of longshoremen. The bunkers received tbelr CO tons of coal from a fleet of J barges.

"Fine chap. You feilowa over here have your polit ical people better trained than we do. They aro really quite docile."

"I want to see them check the kid dles." ha insisted. It was explained to him that the practice had been discon tinued becausa of complications which ones followed an exchange of checks. Just before ho left. Mr. Holt revealed tha meaning of his mission, or at least one of Its meanlnge. "Ton Americana sat up championships with conditions which you frame," he said. "You admire your aptness for do ing things In a great hurry, svsn when there la no reason for It. "Perhaps tha proprietor of my paper saw In this trip a chance to set It down on record that, hustlers as tha Amerl cans. are. they have no monopoly of the quality." GUARDS WILL MEET SHIPS Added Precautions to Be Taken to Present Smuggling. SAN VRANCI9CO, Deo. 17. Recent discoveries of the extensive smuggling of opium and of Chinese Immlgranta Into this port have brought from the authorities an order that vessels from the Orient are henceforth to be placed under watch as soon as they enter the harbor. Two customs inspectors are -to be sent out to meet each arriving; steamer at the Golden Gate. Hitherto It has been the practice to allow the boats to come to anchor In the stream before sending Inspectors aboard, and In case of a vessel arriv ing at night to leave her unguarded till daylight. It la believed that much of the successful smuggling has been carried en by lowering contraband over the vessel's side before the arrival of the watchers from the Immigration bu reau and the customs department.

BIG FORTUNE IS STAKE TWIN FALLS SETTLERS CONTEST MILLIONAIRE'S CLAIM. Amount of Water Delivered by Irriga tion Company on 140,000 Acres Is Issue Involved. BOISE, Idaho, Dec ITWSpsclaJ.) A fortune estimated at $1,400,000 la ths stake over which a bested contest was waged Friday before the State Land Board, On one sld appeared settlers who srs residents on the famous Twin Falls Irrigation tract, and on the other, F. H. Buhl, the multl-mllllonalre back er of the Twin Falls Land 4 Water Company, and known In this stats as the "Father o Irrigation." It developed during the hearing, wherein the board attempted to learn whether or not the Irrigation company had delivered the proper amount of water to the settlers for Irrigation, that the company has a contract with the state to sell water for 240.000 acres, and of which amount It has sold water rights on all exoept 40,000. It claims the right to sell water rights on the latter amount. Ths set tlers hold that the company has no right to sell the additional water rights unless Its backers can prove that they have more than sufficient water for the land already entered. The probable outcome of the contest will be that It will be deferred. The large amount Involved was considered by Mr. Buhl as sufficient to force him gvcross the continent from 6haron, Pa to direct personally the presentation of the company's case before ths board.

DUl cher. absolutely stripped of clothing, ran Into the barroom of a small hotel In Oranton. N. J., last night and fell unconscious to the floor. When he re vived momentarily he was only able to tall his name and murmur weakly: "Hurned fn fire by men." Dlllcher then relapsed Into uncon sciousness and later became delirious. He will probably die.

The police today are work ing on this theory and seeking all pos sible clews as to the Identity of his tor turers. Dlllcher was able to say that he lived at IS Harrison street. In Soranton.
