SHIPPING NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE WATER FRONT Thetis Returns After a Vain Search for Rita Newman The United States revenue cutter Thetis, Captain O. C. Hamlet, returned yesterday after a vain search for the missinp power schooner Rita Newman. From February 11 until yesterday the Thetis crossed and r«rossed the ocean highway between here and the Coquille lUver, kept a sharp lookout 'all the time and pp'oke numerous vessels, but neither saw nor heard of the Uita JCew man or of any wreckage that might have come from the disabled craft. Captain Hamlet did learn, however, fr.om the life-saving crew at Coquille that the Rita Newman, which, left the . i Coquille River on January 24 with aj cargo of lumber for this port, went i ashore before she sailed and strained her hull considerably. Captain Martin sen, master of the Newman, realized the condition of his vessel, but as she was Jaden with lumber he believf d the voy- j *R(re to San Francisco could be made with safety. He expected it to be aj long passage and it was the belief at CoquHle that he had provisioned ' hfs vessel "accordingly. There seems to be some douiit. how ever, about the plethoric condition of the EUta Newman's larder. According to A." F. Estabrook & Co. of this city. I charterers of the vessel, they had re-j ; ceived the bi'.'.s for the {-tores purchased by Captain Martinsen. and as far as they could judgre the Rita Newman started for this port twenty-seven days afo with Just seven days' provisions. The Thetis encountered very thick weather during th« grreater part of the cruise. She spoke many vessels, and. as "evidence of the thoroughness of his s-ea.rch. Captain Mamlet cites th« fact that the Theris twice overhauled the British sealing schooner Ida Etta. Brlt ; jsh sealing schooners hunting off the American coast do not court the com pany of Yankee revenue cutters and , the second time the Ida Etta was en countered the sealer had changed her location by forty miles. The Ida Etta had thirty-three sealskins and evi dently T*-as lying in \rait for the herd \u25a0which soon would be moving from southern rraters to the islands of Alaska. Under the law the sealers may hunt until May 1, as long as they confine their activities to the \u25a0water beyond the three-mile' limit. • The Thetis will make no further effort to .find the Rita Newman unless word be received by which she can. be definitely located. The Newman is stoutly built, and, although damaged by going ashore, it is believed that her lumber cargo will insure her stay ing afloat. Unless there are other pro vision bills that the charterers have not yet received, or the Newman has re plenished her larder from some passing vessel. Captain Martinson and his crew must" be terribly hungry. All Fixed for Bnrglnry Policeman Martine arrested a fnan early yesterday morning" on First street, near ' Howard, because he was acting suspiciously. At the harbor po lice station a search of the prisoner's clothing revealed a set of burglar's tools, a loaded revolver and a supply of extra ammunition. The man proved to be John Quinn, an ex-convict who has served five years in Folsom and another five years in San Quentin. He is said to be wanted by the police. Water Front Xotes Tf-JL- Japanese liner America Maru ar rived-yesterday at: Honolulu, from this port. .

The Chicago-New. York Electric Air Line Railroad is the engineering marvel of . the twentieth century. It is regarded by engineers, electrical and railroad men- as the most, feasible -and practical connection :' between .Chicago and: New York. . It not only cuts down the: time between the two cities to ten hours; but the as well. Its ope- rating expenses 'are less and its traffic possibilities are greater than any other railroad between the two cities. • The Goshen, South Bend and Chicago Railroad' is \u25a0" now being -constructed through Indiana as the first section of the. Chicago-New York . .Electric Air Line Railroad. The first one hundred miles will cost $7,700,000. This amount has already been subscribed. This road is of course controlled by the Chicago- New York Electric Air Line Railroad. The grading on this section began Sep- tember 1, 1906. Building section by section In this way :, will provide an earning property long before the entire road (a distance of 750 miles) is com- pleted. ' • " . FOR PASSENGER, MAIL AND EX- . - PRESS SERVICE. The Chicago-New -York Electric Air Line Railroad lis being -built primarily to accommodate passenger, mail and express service. 'It will not require the extensive terminal facilities nor the vast amount of; rolling stock that are necessary on a freight road: By far the largest revenue will be received from its passenger business. Each, pas- senger is a unit and cannot be routed by combinations of competing lines. Besides the passenger loads and un- loads himself, therefore provision will not be made for housing, yardage and storing, as is the case with freight. This trunk line railroad, 750 miles long, will have a tributary territory on either side of its right of way much wider in extent than 1 is usually estimated for a short interurban road. Toledo, Detroit. Sandusky and Cleveland lie tributary to the Air Line, midway between Chi- cago and New York. The entire terri- tory traversed by the Air Line is thick- ly settled with thriving smaller cities and a large rural population. The en- tire intermediate country between ter- minals is interlaced with steam and electric railroads which will act as feeders for the Air Line. A large num- ber of passengers will travel on them from a distance to avail themselves of the fast time and the exceptional ser- vice to New York or Chicago. The Air Line will, in turn, act as a feeder to all connecting lines, with which valuable traffic arrangements will be made.

UNITED STATES MAIL. The revenue from United State 3 mall contracts alone should add a large amount to the earnings of the Air Line. Time in the delivery of the mails being the essential factor, the Air Line will have every advantage necessary to handle large contracts. The Govern- ment contracts for the transmission of mail with the railroads between Chi- cago and New York amount to ?9,0Q0,- 000 a year. FAST EXPRESS SERVICE. Contracts with express companies can readily be secured, for the same condi- tions prevail in handling express mat- ter as'with the mails. The revenue from contracts with express companies will equal, if not exceed, that from Government mail contracts. HOW TO LEARN MORE.
