VALLEJO, April 18.—The Navy De- pariment has inaugurated a new plan for the abatement of the desertion evil which is causing widespread comment in paval and Government circles. Ir: charge of Sergeant Charles Borchert, United States Marine Corps, nine de- serters from the U. S. S. Tacoma are now en route to Galveston, Texas, where they will be placed aboard one of the vessels of the navy and sent back to the Tacoma at Norfolk. The men, who are members of the marine corps, deserted the Tacoma when it was announced that she was to sall around the Horn to the Eastern coast. ~They are now being returned to the ship at In addition to losing all the back pay due them, the deserters will be punished by an abridgment of many privileges. Here- tofore it has been the practice of en- listed men of the navy, who did not desire to make the cruise on which their ship had been ordered, to procure a ten days’ shore leave and then after their ship had sailed show up at an- other Government station and report for duty. They were not treated as deserters, and were only lightly pun- jshed and assigned to the station where they reported or to one of the vessels at that station. This practice has worked a serious injury to the effectiveness of discipline and the new plan has been adopted in the effort to stop the practice. BRINGS CREW OF THE TACOMA " VICTORIA, B. C., April 18.—The steamship Empress of China arrived from Yokohama to-day, bringing the crew of the blockade runner Tacoma, which was captured by the Japanese after being caught in the ice of Soya Strait. Captain Connauton remained to look after the vessel and Chief Offi- cer Chipperwald and Engineer Ray- mond remained at Hakodate. It was erroneously reported that they had been drowned. / Igorrotes from the Philippines, bound to Portland for the Lewis and Clark Fair, were also among the pas- sengers of the Empress of China. Lord Hawke, the celebrated English crick- eter, and Viscount and Viscountess Castlereagh were also passengers. FEAR OUTSIDER WILL GET PLACE REDDING, April 18.—A rumor that Governor Pardee would appoint an outside man Superior Judge of this county caused consternation here to- day. The local aspirants kept the wires hot trying to learn the Gover- nor’s intention. A monster mass meet- ing last night sent a strong prayer to the:Governor not to make any appoint- ment. Rumor has it that a San Diego man is to get the jue p. FLAG IS RAISED ON THE LANTO VALLEJO, April 18.—The flag of Commander William Winders was raised over the United States Steamer Lawton at Mare Island to-day and the transport is now a training ship for the young men of the American navy. The ceremony was brief and was without any spectacular features. The repairs on the Lawton are not yet completed and it will be several days before all the work under way is finished. Many of the officers of the Buffalo, who were not transferred to the Lawton with the majority of the ship’s complement and who have orders to report at other stations, were de- sirous of getting away from the Buffalo and for this reason tHe commissioning of the Lawton took place to-day. BOSTON BANKER WILL BACK LINE SANTA ROSA, April 18—A trust deed was filed here to-day by the Pet- aluma and Santa Rosa Electric Rail- road. It conveys the company’s plant to the Mercantile Trust Company of San Francisco for $250,000. This sum, it is understood, will wipe out the con- struction debt of the new road. For the last few days E. H. Rollins, a well-known Boston banker, has been inspecting the road’s property. Rollins took a large share of the road’'s bond issue, and says he will back the enter- prise for the numerous extensions planned. —_———————— Dr. Gerald J.
