LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14. "Pl-hno wire" method of harvesting kelp must be prohibited If the kelp beds and their Inestimable wealth of potash and chemical by-products are pot to be destroyed, aseerts Hector Alllott of the Southwest Museum In a report made yesterday to the Chamber of Commerce after eighteen months of Investigation conducted for that organization. In the very-infancy of southern California's new Industry of manufacturing potash from kelp the kelp beds are threatened with destruction; and destruction of the kelp beds would seriously affect the supply of food for fich that spawn In the beds of kelp. Boswell was charged with having Induced Henry Rudlsell, a verification deputy, to commit perjury In swearing to a portion of a petition nominating Harry Loomta, prominent hotel man and former candidate for nomination to the legislature from the Sixty-first assembly district.

MISS BEATRICE SAl'IKO, WHO WIIjIj SING AT BENEFIT THEATER PARTY. OFFERS CORRECTIONS. The report makes' these Recommendations for regulation by law: Compel the harvesters to cut kelp with reciprocating knives or shears at depths not greater than six feet.

Prohibit piano wire harvesting. Survey kelp areas and divide them into sections. Permit harvesting at any given time in certain sections only, giving a bed a rest of six months after harvesting to permit regeneration. Place a tax of one dollar to a' hundred tons of kelp, and use the fund, estimated at from $12, 000 to $15,000 a year under the present rate of harvesting, for strict policing and supervision. The report says this problem of the forests of the sea are Identical with land forest conservation.

The present method of harvesting is to attach a wire to two power boats and pull it. through the bed. This uproots much of the kelp, and new ocean currents prevent the kelp from acquiring new fasts" on the floor of the ooean. Also much of- the kelp is not picked up and is a total loss.

It Is 4 6-t inches1 In diameter -and directly connected to tha motor shaft, thus receiving full benefit of the high speed of ths motor and giving highest possible suction efficiency.

The exceptionally powerful suction of the Hotpoint motor Is illustrated by the fact that when operatecT with nn ordinary un-llned dust bar, the dust Is blown right through the bag. For. this reason the dust bag on the Hotpoint Is double-lined. The suction shoe (by some called nozzle) has an opening 14 inches long. A revolving brush sets In the suction shoe opening.

This Is driven by two rubber belts being attached to each roller wheel on one end and to the brush shaft on the others The gearing Is three to one. That Is, three revolutions of the brush to every turn of the Wheel. The revolving brush Is not motor driven snd the motor can be left running tn one Ths first essential In a Vacuum Cleaner Is the motor. The Hotpoint in a Peerless motor of the universal type.

The motor, develops from one-quarter to one-fifth horse-power. The wattage of the Hotpoint Is from 200 to' 240, while some competitive machines have a wattage as low as 60." This higher wattage" gives Hotpoint much greater suction and combined with the. greater number of revolutions, mttkes the Hotpoint a very efficient motor.
