Ished the Investigation of tha death by
drowning of Keith MoMnrran, tha Se
attle aaiior boy, ln the bay hero Satur
day night while trying to desert the
ship. Both believe the boy waa taken
with cramps and neither la disposed te
accuse the crew of tha vessel of con
tributory negligence In watching tha
boy drown without attempting to give
aio, as has bean charged.
Mayor Wright haa been drawn Into
the ease by tha entrance of Mrs. Samuel
MeMurray. the boys mother, and has
made aa inquiry at the ship on his own
account . While he is not nrenared ta
say the boy was allowed to drown with
out any help being extended, he avers
that tha circumstances of tha drowning
are peculiar. . , : ,
"Though they may net In any manner
be responsible for tha young man's
death, said Mayor Wright today, "the
fact remains that several of hla shlp
Kftatee leaned over the rail and watched
him die without lifting a hand or mak
ing any great effort to rescue him."

THE, WHITE, LNAMELLD OVE,N
There are many distinctive and superior features of the Buck's
construction that serve to distinguish it from all others. The
above cut-illustrates the white enameled oven insures clean,
sweet, wholesome food. -A sanitary oven Is even a greater
necessity than a sanitary refrigerator, for during the process of
baking, chemical changes render contamination doubly easy.
' The white enamel used in Buck's ovens is not a paint, but a
white glass enamel burned into the pores of the iron, and is
ractically everlasting. The lower illustration shows the extra
ong draft means rqulck, even fire will heat the entire stove
top and oven as it should be heated. This admits fire the entire
length of the firebox, and under the burning fuel, thus giving
a forced draft and making a quick fire. This also insures a
complete combustion of fuel, which means a saving to you.
