ton, recently first, second and third

.iaer, we no longer permitted to act
as licensed marine engineers, the local
inspectors today revoking their licen
ses. Investigation of the local United
States Inspectors regarding the strike
on the steamship Geo. W,' Elder, came
to an abrupt end today. The sudden
termination was caused by a refusal of
the. third assistant engineer, Huston.
to testify as to his reasons for leaving
tne steamer on such short notice. When
he was called in the stand, he Imme
diately refused to be sworn, and stated
mat. acting on the advice of his attor
ney, ne wouia -aecune to answer any
questions that were put to him. His
action left the board with no alterna
tive except to revoke his license, which
it did at once. The Inspectors decided
to revoke he licenses of both Sullivan
and McKenzie. The charges brought
against the men by the O. R. A N
Co., were based on section 444 Re
vised Statutes, which forbids licensed
officers to refuse to do duty to the det

ing their other officers good and suffl

his approval. The terminal will be
connected with the Southern Pacific
main line , by the construction of a
branch line from San Pablo. The new
terminal is ten miles by rail from the

which, have become too small for ; the
traffic. . -. J
A branch system of shops will be
erected at the new terminal. As near
as can be ascertained, ships to and

pose of the military officers to hold,

as the authorities feel justified In re

military officers not to turn the prls

stirred up a hornet's nest among the
Strikers. It is claimed by their attor

: OF THE BIBLE. J:
LONDON, Oct. 11. -To the normal
disagreements which exist tetween the
high and low sections of the English
church, an unexpected bone of discord
has been added. This consists In the
et spoken criticism Of the Bible's In
fallibility. It was an eloquent plea
from well-known persons, for a ration
al teaching of the Bible to children, so
that when they grow up they will not
discard the inner meaning of the Orien
tal imagery, as they did the tales of
Santa -Claua. Rev. Alex Kirkpatrlck
Regius, - professor of Hebrew 4 at
Cambridge, declared they must not re
gard all the parts of the Bible as be
ing : equal. The Rev. Edgar Gibson,
chaplain in ordinary to the King, de
clared the clergy was wrong in going
on teaching the Bible in the old way.
