Even the officers are often jammed into uncomfortable but nicely fitted quarters, sometimes sharing their rooms with a glistening gun or zome other space-occupying arrangement. This is the situation on board the Mon- | terey, and the men are inconsolable. There is much wondering around the navy-yard why the Olympia or even the y Bennington or Boston is not preferred by the department for the work. Either of them could be ready within a short time if chosen. The Philadelphia is being re- aired by the Union Iron Works at Hono- ulu and will require no relief there. The Yorktown will soon return from China, and no war vessels are needed in Bering Sea, as the seal fisheries this season will be guarded by the revenue cutters. The Alert and }{anier are ample for the turbu- lent Central American coast, and so the three available eruisers at Mare Island are practically out of a job. The bark Canada, now lying at Port Costa, made an effort yesterday to get a non-union crew and failed. Several men were brought down to the steamer Weber by runners, but on the wharf they refused t0 go aboard. Sergeant Mahoney.who had charge of the squad of police officers de- tailed to protect them if necessary, gave them their chcice to goor stay and they elected to remain ashore and were borne off in triumph by the union patrolmen.

A MURDER 15 HINTED AT Relatives of Dr. Charles A. James Want: the Body Exhumed. A Bitter Contest. Over the Old Man’s Thousands Will Soon Begin. Dr. Charles A.James, who presumably died of natural causes on January. 28 last, is.not to be allowed to rest in his grave in peace. ‘Accusations have been mede, and in or- der to test their truth or falsehood the re- mains of the- dead physician are to be ex- humed and an autopsy held. A coritest for the dead man’s ‘money. is also begun, and " a bitter fight between the woman: who claims tobe the widow and the dead man’s relatives is expected. Dr. Charles A. Jameés died at " his resi- d'ence, 925 Howard street, on January 28 last,-and. was buried: on the certificate of City Physician Eidenmnuller.. He left an estate valued at $65,000 and & young lady who asserts ‘that she was married to-him by contract three weeks before his death. As there was no will Public Adminis- trator Freese took charge of the estate. About a mionth ‘ago the widow appeared in Judge Coffey’s’ court. and asked to be: al- lowed to live in'the upper part.of the house at 926 Howard street until her child was born_or - the estate distributed. The mat- ter was not.decided at that-time and isstill before the Probate Court. Dr. . James died suddenly. He had been ailing for sonie time prior to his death, but wou]%l not. call in a-brother physician. - He treated himself and evidently did not con- sider his- case serious.- ‘On-the morning of. January 28 he was not as well as usual and in the afternoon he was dead. The city hysician ~certified’ that -the cause was eart failure. = . The Eastern heirs of the dead physician are not. satisfied.- They. assert that Dr. James ‘was- poisoned, and .have retained George - D. ‘Shadburne of the law firmof Shadburne & Herrin, to look after their interests. G : Yesterday -the latter wrote a noteto Coroner Hawkins setting forth the facts in the case as ‘they undefstood them and ask- ing that the rémains be exhumed and an autopsy- heéld. - The -Coroner. would: not ive a decided answer, but said he would ook -up- the law- in .the case, and if he found that the facts warranted it and the law sustained him he would hold an inves- tigation. There 'is considerable ‘profes- sional -etiquette mixed up: in the matter. City Physician :Eidenmuller, who filed the death certificate in the Health Office, is-on one side and Coroner Hawkins is on the other. - These public officials naturally de- sire to show each other every courtesy possible. One ‘thing is certain—the au- topsy will take place; and everybody con- nected with the case will have a physician there to-watch the proceedings. Laura. Milen; the young -woman who claims to be the widow of Dr. Charles A. James, is a handsome brown-haired, brown- eyed girl who will celebrate her nineteenth birthéay this evening. Her father is a doctor practicing in_San Jose, and . Laura and her mother are living “in the - house at 925 Howard street.

She wants it all-—part. for : herself, and _ the re- mainder to be held in trust: for her unborn child. 3 o i i The Eastern heirs of the.old man are not idle, however.. . Miss Mattie James, a niece of the dead man, is out here from Fort Madison, Towa, and she .intends ‘fi the case'to the end. 2 An application to ren at 925 lgow,lrd street is. now-before Judge and will be argned to-day.: W. H. art, who represents - the supposed widow, will enter a vigorous protest, and: George D. Shadburne, who' represents the Fastern heirs, will insist upon Mrs. Milen- James and- her relatives: paying .rent. - When that. point is settled the other ques- tion will come up. - One side: will. try ‘to prove that the old' man died from natural causes, while the other will attempt. to show:that he. was poisoned.: -Altogetlier a: very bitter contest is promised. - : Laura Milen first met thie old gentleman, who she now asserts was her husband, in’ December, 1894, - She was then 18 years of age and Dr. James was in his seventy-third year..

THE OLD BOARD HOLDS ON. Insists That It Has a Year to Serve and Will. Fight' to the End. Two Boards of Port Wardens aré now guarding the interests of the shipping in port, but only one board is deriving any benefit from. the office. - Governor. Budd’s appointees ‘were fo present their creden- tials yesterday, the first of the month, and demand that' Messrs. Watson, Gage and Martingive up their seats, but they failed to put.in an ‘appearance and the old broad held the fort and will probably continue to do so until next March, when. their com- missions expire. Samuel Briunbart ‘is the only one of the Governor's appointees who succeeded in getting into office. - He took Thurston’s place; that Port Warden haying -ofliciated four: years, while the others have only -been. in: three years: Messrs. Harney, Provost and Atwood are the gentlemen who are out in the cold, but they are. doing precisely as their:prede- cessors did four years ago—awaiting their turn. They are next, but all the chairs are full.. They were at the office of the Port Wardens Saturday afternoon, but ac- complished nathing further than fenrning something of their duties and a little law in the case. There had been sonie talk of going into the courts if the Port Wardens who are now in refused to go out. Watsorn, Gage and Martin -have emphatically refused to go-and they all say that they will fight the matter vigorously if it is pressed. ‘“Weare perfectly satisfied,” said Captain Gage yesterday,: ‘‘that our commissions hold for four years, having learned that lesson from our predecessors. I do not think that the new: appointees will go to law about the matter. If they do, we will go With them, that is all. 8hould they do this our fees will go on- while the suit is pending, as we will haye to do the work all the while, and a law passed-in 1891 covers that case. The suit would not, in-all prob- ability be decided until our term of office expired.” Major Harney, a member of: the new board, says that he does not desire to enter upon his duties until his appointment goes into effect, but he wants to be sure that his. successor, whoever he may be, cannot oust Lim at the end of three years. The appointment of the present board was an illegal act, but that question has not entered into the controversy. The law says that at least two members. of the board shall be: qualified shipmasters and ‘Captain- John Gage is the only master mariner on the board. Captain (Gage ac- knowledged this -fact yesterday morning, but said fhnt it'was too late to bring up the question of the board’s legality. 2 Port Warden Braunhart is breaking himself in to the new duties upon whic| he has entered, and he promises.to be a success. The principal part of these duties, it must be understood, consists: in - over- seeing the dischar%ing of cargoes.
