ST. THOMAS PICKS UP
American Port Regains Former
Marino Standing.
Improvements Mow During the War,
but ShijU Are Now Calling
Regularly.
St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.—This
American port is beginning to regain
some of its former maritime impor
tance. Owing to the war, improve
ments in this direction have been slow
since the Virgin islands were pur
chased from Denmark, but now, after
considerable agitation by business men
of St. Thomas, American steamers are
beginning to call here. This is the
result of representations which have
been made to Washington in behalf of
the inhabitants of the islands.
The islanders feel that American
steamship owners, and especially the
shipping board at Washington, have
heretofore overlooked the facilities of
the harbor of St. Thomas for provid
fng coal, fuel oil, and other stores.
While few American steamers have
been calling at St. Thomas for sup
plies, miiny have called at themeigh
boring British islands, where facilities
are not considered as good as here.
The price of coal is cheaper at St.
Thomas than at the British islands.
To bring this matter before the ship
ping board and to obtain all the help
possible from the American people and
congress, a meeting of the inhabitants
of the Virgin island was held here.
Resolutions were adopted calling the
attention of the shipping hoard to the
facilities of the port, such as a pier
3,000 feet long with thirty-one feet of
water alongside and all up-to-date ap
pliiujces for the quick dispatch of ves
sels Wanting coal, water, fuel oil and
other stores.
Tile resolution was carried to Wash
ingt^n by Darwin O. Curry, collector
of customs, who laid it before the ship
ping board. Mr. Curry has since re
turned and reports that that board,
members of congress, and American
business men have promised to do all
they can for the island.
Another oil depot is being erected
here to meet increased demands. The
people of St. Thomas believe it pos
sesses far better facilities than most
other West India islands, and are de
termined to make known its availabili
ty as a port of call for supplying
steamers.
WANTS TO END COUNTY JAILS
Philanthropist Receives $30,000 for
National Campaign With' That
Object.
New York. —Adolph Lewlsohn was
70 years old, so he gave a garden par
ty at his country home at Ardsley.
The party was combined with a meet
ing of the national committee on
prison reform, and 530.000 was pre
sented to Mr. Lewlsohn by friends for
,» national campaign which the com
mittee will soon Virgin for the abolish
ment of the county jail.
Hundreds of friends of Mr. Lew
lsohn motored up from the city to pay
their compliments to the philanthro
pist.
Mr. Lewlsohn said that fully 65 per
cent of the men in county jails today
are innocent.
Build Own Truck.
Medford, Mass.—Members of the fire
lepartment at Ilie central fire station
have built and equipped a combination
motor truck which is now in commis
sion.
The new truck was constructed com
pletely by the firemen and represents
a cost to the city of but SSOO for
materials used.
The engine in the truck was rebuilt
from an engine in one of the discarded
pieces of apparatus.
