The Sea Foam, which is owned chiefly by 'the interests that control i,he Phoenix, sighted the Phoe nix bottom up and abandoned off Del mar- landing August IS and towed it into San Francisco bay, assisted by the tug Pilot. A. Henrikson, master of the Sea Foam, alleges that his vessel has been put to the expense of $30 for -a diver to ex amine the Phoenix, $800 for righting and pumping her out and $350 for the assistance of the tug Pilot. He asks the payment of these expenses, the ves sel herself and salvage upon her cargo. United States Marshal C. T. Elliott, who has had charge of the Phoenix since the libel was filed upon her, has granted permission to take the vessel to the\Union Iron works to be righted. All attempts to turn her right side up at Mission wharf No. 2 have been fruit less despite the efforts of riggers and the many helpful suggestions yester day of a large crowd that hung around the vessel. —.:' Lurline Sails for Honolulu Tlrc Matson navigation company's steamer Lurline, which sailed yester day for Honolulu and Kanului, carried about 4,000 tons of freight and a large number of passengers. Every Matson steamer that has sailed from here for the last six months has carried among the passengers at least one bridal couple. The Lurline was no exception. H. D. Porter and wife are the honey moon pair on the Lurline. Porter is the son of Woodland's leading banker. In addition to 4,000 tons of general merchandise the Lurline carried 30 head of stock, 15 monkeys and two sheep dogs. The monkeys are going to Molo kai to be martyrs in the cause of science. They are being sent down by the United States government to the government laboratory at Molokai, where specialists are making a study of leprosy with a view to its preven tion and cure. The part the monkeys will play in this work will be import ant but passive. The Lurline's passengers included: F. A. Cumminjrs Brother Eugene Mrs. A: It. Gurney T. J. King Mrs. H. It. Gurney H.

':-. ;\u25a0? TRIP TOO HARD FOR SHOTWELL Railway, Official Will Be Able To Return to Work Today THE newspapermen who went from here to Salt Lake and who re turned on the first "Western . Pa cific train, are in bad with several of the local railroad fraternity.- They failed to return "W. J. Shotwell In good condition. Since the aggregation of scribes and railroad officials returned from their eventful trip Shotwell has been laid up at his home, and the local railroad fraternity is wondering what happened to him. It was the heat that caused Shot well's present illness and yesterday lt was reported , that he would return to hls.-offices this morning. Association with" newspapermen had nothing to do with it. • - * The Santa Fe will convert all passen ger locomotives running between Kan sas* City and Newton, Kansas, to oil burners. . Fred Trethaway, city ticket agent of the Southern Pacific at Phoenix. Ariz., was in' the city yesterday for a few hours. Salt, Lake City is to have a railroad club, according to advices from- that city. A committee of which C. J. Mc- Nitt, general auditor of the Oregon Short Line, is chairman, is making plans for the. organization of the club. J.JC. Harrison, .the newly appointed Pacific coast passenger agent of the "Washington-Sunset route, is expected to arrive here today and take up his new duties. The El Paso Southwestern Is prepar ing in El Paso, at an expense of $10,000, a clubhouse for its employes. Officers of the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul expect to begin running passenger trains through to the Pa cific coast over the St. Paul lines Sep tember .15. The St. Louis and San Francisco has contracted for trackage rights from Paris, Tex., to Dallas, 98 mires, over the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe; and from Dallas to Fort Worth. 34 miles, over the Rock Island lines, and is run ning its own trains through to Dallas and Forth "Worth. This route of the Frisco trains from -St. Louis to Dallas will now be 87 miles shorter than that of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, and 27 miles shorter 'than the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern. C. L. Stone, passenger traffic man ager of the Missouri Pacific, who reached here Monday evening with the first "Western Pacific train, expects to visit southern California before his re turn. The Chicago Great Western gives a special carlo"ad rate to farmers who want to move. They may use one end of a boxcar for household goods and the other for their livestock provided they do not put in more than ten head. Xot long ago a farmer availed him self of this rate. He locked ten cows in the car, but when it was opened It was discovered by the railway agent at the point of delivery that there were 12 head of cat tle in the car, two of them new born calves. Excess freight rates were de manded by the railroad and paid by the farmer, who then registered a big kick with the higher freight officers of the road. An agent of the company has asked the interstate commerce commission if the company might refund the extra charge to the farmer without violating the anti-rebate provisions of the law. The commission probably will decide (that it can. .f , George L. Bonney has been ap pointed superintendent of dining and sleeping cars of the Great Northern with office at St. Paul, succeeding c' L. Pratt, resigned. - --.:"- • • • . . The Salt Lake route has under con sideration the building of a line from Oasis, on the main line, to Fish Springs, in the Deep Creek country, 150 miles, and perhaps to Ely but probably will not settle the matter until . after the new road through Meadow Valley wash has been com pleted. Bids for the latter will soon be invited. . That its engineers may. maintain a uniform rate' of speed and operate their grains with the greatest possible comfort to the traveling public, the Baltimore and Ohio is Installing speed recorders In .. passenger engines used on through trains. The dial of these speed recorders is placed in the en gineer's side of the cab, in plain view of the man who operates the throttle, and Indicates to him the speed of the train at aU times. The recorder also registers on' a paper chart the speed at which a train is operated at every point on a divi sion, and, upon arrival ' at terminals, the chart is replaced and sent to the division superintendent, who thus has before him a daily record of the speed at which strains are operated in his territory. \u25a0 \u25a0 - GOVERNMENT CHECKS INVENTIVE GENIUS Uncle Sam Passes Law Discour aging to His Employes Lest government employes 1 should forget and invent something that would expedite the performance of their du ties and save money for the United States, the postal department at "Wash ington has sent out to the local office a copy of the act of congress, approved June 25, in which it is expressly stipu lated that no, government employe can receive any compensation for anything that he invents for use by. the govern ment Neither can any person to whom a government employe assigns a patent be*beneflted by it, if the patent is em ployed by the United States.
