It is now the intention of the Half-Mil- lion Club to branch out in the excursion line if the trip to Los Angeles, Santa Bar- ibara and points named in the itinerary | proves a success. That is the club will take part in excursions from the East to the extent of having a standing committee to look after the entertainment of visitors | who will avail themselves of the cheap rates and through train service to be inaun- gurated. The fact has been stated by officials of the Southern Pacific Company that special trains from New York, Philadelphiz, Chicago and Mississippi Valley points will be run through to San Franeisco on “flyer meet Monday afternoon, just previous to the meeting of the Citizens’ Committee at 2 o’clock. AN ENGINEER'S BRAVERY. How Gallant ¢ Dad” Bryant of the Berkeley Local Saved a Child’s Life. The presence of mind of “Dad” Bryant, an engineer on a Berkeley local train, was the means of saving the life of a three- year-old girl near Golden Gate station yesterday. The noon train, with Bryant at the throttle, had left Adeline station two min- utes late and was dashing along the curve toward Golden Gate at a twenty-mile rate, when a hundred yards ahead a tiny object was observed between the rails. The grade at that point is quite steep, and when “Dad” realized that a child was seated on the track he applied the ar brakes with a suddenness that brought nearly every passenger in the train to their knees. The speed of the train was greatly diminished, but it was ‘“‘eating up’’ ground at an awful rate and it was evident that the engine would crush the child be- fore it could be brought to a standstill. “Dad,” however, did not lose his pres- ence of mind in the appalling emergency. Reversing his engine he sprang through the cab window, stepped along the shelf to the steam chest and then down to the cow- catcher, which he straddled just in time. He had hardly planted himself there when the engine was upon the child, but in the { § OF T FAC-SIMILE OF THE CHECK SENT BY THE BUTCHERS’ BOARD 'RADE. time,” just for the accommodation of per- sons who desire to visit California and learn something about the climate and the varied resources of the State. This isnot simply a San Francisco propo- sition. While the Half-Million Club is at presenta San Francisco organization and is taking deep interest in the proposed ex- cursions it is not the old-styled take-ever: thing-in-sight representation of the city. In less than three weeks over half the executive committee of the Half-Million Club will be composed of representatives from interior sections of the State, and thus prove to the doubting Thomases the statement that San Francisco is working for the advancement of the entire State and the new, progressive California. That the club is doing so now could be no more clearly demonstrated than by the perusal of the following list of names added to the club during the past few days: H. L. Dodge; N.

The Citizens’ Committee got together yesterday afternoon in the assembly-room of the Mills building and disposed of numerous questions. Several telegrams were received yesterday from Sacramento (this being the third lot), requesting that some one be sent to address the meetlng called for that evening. Every member of the various comm ittees was too busy with arrangements for the excursion to go, so that Sacramento was compelled to take its information from local representatives. H. P. Sonntag, as chairman of the finance committee, read the letter published in yesterday’s CALL from the Butchers’ Board of Trade, and exhibited the check for §250 which accompanied the communication. Mr. Sonntag further stated there had been $1250 in casg collected so far and that the prospects for securing the $10,000 desired were excellent. A vote of thanks to the Butchers’ Board of Trade was ordered sent to that organiza- tion. . A communication from L. B. Woodruff | of the Los Gatos Chronicle was read. Mr. Woodruff requested that Los Gatos be added to the itinerary. This had already been done. o E. B. Pomeroy, secretary of the Fabiola May Fete Association of Oakland sent the following communication, which was re- ferred to the committee on entertainmert: It has been reported to us that the organiza- tion of which you are the secretary will make an effort to attract the people resident in and visiting the sonthern part of the State to this vicinlty after the festivities connected with the Los Angeles Fiesta are concluded. If such is the case it would appear that you would want to present to them as many attractions as possible. In that connection I would like to call your attention to the fact that the people of Oakland propose to give &n all-aay eut-of- door entertainment on the firstday of May, It will consist of processions of school children, decorated floats and flower-decked carriages, drags, carts, etc., a horse parade, horse races, stecplechase, fancy driving and riding burro Tiding, games and festivities. There will be a lunch and possibly & ball in the evening. The night preceding there will be & bicycle lantern parade, in which many of the prominent elubs will participate. S0 many people have signified their in- tention of taking in the excursion that it bhas been decided to o en-registerin room 29; second floor, Mills building, for the names of those who intend to make the trip. Information regarding the details of the excursion can be procured there, and all persons seeking facts will be accommo- dated and have their names registered from 10 A M. to 5 p. M., on and after Sat- urday, until the 13th prox., as the excur- sion will leave April & Lvex;jy interior town is to be requested to send delegates, to assemble in Los An- geles, to assist in the success of the trip. No town or city will be allowed more than five delegates, {nt AS many persons a8 may desire to take the trip can do so. The object in calling for the delegates to assemble in Los Angeles is to practically establish a -‘bureau of information” re- garding every section of the State. This ureau will ‘prevent the drawing of sec- tional lines, and will thus be enabled to veniente to.users of & directory.

Arthur Briggs, as a representative of Fresno, said that his city had prefi)::od a float, which would be shipped to An- geles and Santa Barbara, in order that the people who could not visit the valley would have some idea of its resources. D. M. Carman was authorized to go to Los Angeles and make advance arran n}cgts for the excursion. He will leave night. = The committee on local entertainmen: of which Al Bouvier is chairman, wi next instant he had gathered it up in his arms out of harm’s way. Few of the passengers were aware of the occurrence, but the story of ‘‘Dad’s” bravery was soon the subject of general conversation, and on his arrival at the mole he was the recipient of hearty con- gratulations. LOST WIFE AND GOODS. Peculiar Position in Which Phillip Abrams, a Grocer of Seattle, Finds Himself, Mrs. Kate Hamilton was arrested yester- day ona charge of felony embezzlement. In the afternoon the argument on a search warrant for the recovery of $500 worth of household goods in the possession of Mrs. Hamilton, which Phillip Abrams, a grocer of Seattle, says belong to him, was heard by Judge Low. Attorney Patrick Reddy appeared for Mrs. Hamilton and Attorney Rose for Abrams. According to Mrs, Hamilton, she was in Abrams’ service in Seattle and never re- ceived any wages from him. When she INCOME-TAX STATEMENTS Collector Welburn Says They Are Coming in Very Promptly. A FEW WILL BE DELINQUENT. Deputies Will Make a House-to- House Canvass After the 156th Inst. Collector of Internal Revenue Welburn and Chief Deputy Loup are kept busy from morning to night just now with income- tax matters. They alone handle the state- ments, and in consequence their time is all taken up with answering questions and pointing out irregularities. A great many of the moneyed men of the city chose yes- terday as the occasion upon which they would file the necessary documents. In consequence there was more wealth repre- sented in the internal revenue office be- tween the hours of 11 and 12 ». than there has been at any one time since the income tax went mnto force. Collector Welburn is now satisfied that a great many more state- ments will be filed than was originally es- timated, and in consequence the returns from San Francisco will be larger than was anticipated. Every statement that is handed to the Collector or his deputy is thoroughly ex- amined. If any mistake has been made it is pointed out to the taxpayer and the necessary correction requested. In nearly every instance Deputy Collector Loup is asked if the statement covers the regula- tions, and in most instances the changes are speedily made. During the last week a number of capi- talists refused to make any changes, and in consequence they will be put to some inconvenience before the revenue office is done with them. Before the statements are forwarded to Washington a thorough investigation of every one of them will be made and an{em'egularifies or underesti- mates will reported. Collector Wel- burn is determined that the proper returns shall go in and that no one shall escape. The income tax becomes delinguent on the 15th inst. Every one who has not filed his statement by 4 P. M. on_that date will have his tax arbitrarily fixed, and a fine for not obeying the law will be added. The Collector has all his plans arranged to ascertain who are trying to evade pay- ment of the tax. The outside deputies of internal revenue all over the State are ready, and on the 16th inst. they will be- gin a house-to-house canvass. They will visit every residence, and the office will levy fines on_ those reported as having failed to comply with the law. “The statements are coming in more promptly than I anticipated,” said Deputy Collector Loup yesterday. *“‘The mer- chants, capitalists” and others whose in- come_ brings them within the law are showing a desire to do everything required of them, and in consequence the returnsin this State will be greater than I at first estimated. The great majority of the peo- ple seem to have made a study of the law, and in consequence they are generally well informed. They know exactly what to do, and when a little irregularity is pointed out to them they willingly rectify it and thank us, as though we had done them a favor in pointing out their mistakes. Thereareex- ceptions to every rule however, and in one or two instances well-known capitalists have refused to make a correction for no DKk le e COLLECTOR OF INTERNAL REVENUE O. M. WELBURN., [Sketched from life for the *“Call” by Kahler.] was leaving for this city about four months | ago Mrs, Abrams gave her the household goods as remuneration for her services, be- | cause Mrs. Abrams was going to Honolulu | in pursuit of her husband. ! Abrams had a different story to tell. He | said Mrs. Hamilton lived in a shanty | across the street from his house. He and his wife had often befriended her, but she ‘was never in his employment. He came | to this city last Christmas on business, and while here Mrs. Hamilton told bis wife that he had ecloped with a woman to Honolulu. His wife left for there and as soon as she had gone Mrs. Hamilton uhi;ped the household effects to this city and came here. When he returned to | Seattle he found his wife and effects gone. After his wife returned from Honolulu he | became aware of the part Mrs. Hamilton had played. Since then he had been trying to find her and hisgroperty. 'he Judge reserved his decision till Mrs. 1Abnms could be brought from Seattle to give her testimony and continued the | case for a week. Meantime he released Mrs, Hamilton on her own recognizance on the cln/rze of embezzlement. —————— A WORTHLESS HUSBAND, Soldier Sinclair's Wife Is at Home With Her Parents. Mrs. John Daly, who resides on Howard street, said yesterday that her daughter, Annie Daly, is once moreat home with her. “My daughter was married to Sinclair, a Presidio soldier, on the 5th of last Janu- ary,” said Mrs. Daly. “‘Themarriage cere- mony was performed by a Justice of the Peace at the new City Hall. My danghter was 15 years old on the 19th of Jast Decem- ber. e reason she left Sinclair was that | he is a worthless fellow, and was not able to_support her, She is now safe at home with me and her father, and we are able to take care of her.” .

We were, therefore, able to give full and explicit in- structions to all who sought our advice. As a natural result everything has gone smoothly.” i TO REMOVE HIGGINS. An Action Instituted by the Attorney- General to Oust the Insurance c_ommlnlonor. An action was brought yesterday by the People of the State of California, through W. F. Fitzgerald, Attorney-General, on ‘the relation of Henry C. Gesford, against M. R. Higgins to obtain a judgment re- moving the defendant from the office of the Insurance Commissioner and installing the relator, Henry C. Gesford, therein. The action was based on three grounds: First—That the defendant Higgins was nominated and confirmed as Insurance Commissioner in February, 1893, for a term of office which was to commence in April, 1894. It was claimed that the Governor had no authority to make the appointment un- til the close of the term hel% by J. N. E. ‘Wilson, which expired in April, 1894, and that the appeointment was, therefore, pre- mature and void. Second—It was claimed that the defend- ant never properly qualified. The Insur- ance Commissioner is required to give a bond, with two sureties, in the sum of $10,- 000 each. He gavé abond in the sum of each, the sureties being Drs. J. R. Laine and M. Gardner of Sacramento. Third—That he had issued to him by the Southern Pacific Company and h ac- cepted and ridden upon afree pass, thus forfeiting his office. ————————— Result of an Attorney’s Neglect. The failure of an attorney to file a elaim resulted in theloss of a lawsuit yesterday. The case was that of E. T.Steen against Joshu aad was brought by Steen for a dissolution of his co-partnershipwith Hendy and an account- ing. Pending the trial Hendy died and his executors were made defendants of the suit. Steen obtained a {nd ent, but his attorney had neglected to file his client’s claim with the executors. The Supreme Court generd-y held that this neglect was fatal to Steen and the judgment of the lower court was therefore reverseg. . ! THE SAILORS' STRIKE. The Payment of Advance Money by the Ship-owners’ Association to Be Investigated. The Sailors’ Union is making a vigorous fight in its effort to raise the wages of coast seamen to $35 a month. The Ship- owners’ Association, in order to induce sailors to go into their vessels, have been giving the men advance money, which, it is claimed by Secretary Furuseth of the union, isin violation of the law. The ship Oriental, which cleared on the 2d inst. sailed yesterday, but not withouta vigorous protest from the secretary. Furuseth went to Collector Wise, and demanded jthat the vessel be held back. The Collector thought that the crew might have been shipped contrary to law, but did not think that her A STORM-TOSSED SHIP. The C. F. Sargent Towed Into Port in a Dismantled Condition. HER FOREMAST ONLY A STUMP. She Was Struck by a Succession of Squalls and Almost Wrecked. The American ship C. F. Sargent was towed into port yesterday morningin a dismantled condition and with other evi- dences on her of having passed through a heavy stress of weather. Her jibboom was missing and her main- top gallant-mast was gone, while a stump stuck up from the deck to show where her foremast stood. $ The vessel sailed from Seattle seventeen days ago, and had fair weather until she was nearing her destination. On the 31st THE ©. F. SARGENT'S FOREMAST IS ONLY A STUMP. [Sketched for the “Call” by Coulter.] sailing could be prevented as her clearance papers had been issued. The matter was ref};n-ed to the United States District At- torney, who had it under consideration when the vessel sailed. John Teuri made an affidavit to'the effect that a sailor om the Oriental named Leandro Alcolea received an advance of $10, and this matter will be investigated on the ship’s return. The America cleared yes- terday, but before she did so the allowance money given her crew had to be returned to her owners. Officer James Smith was arrested on a charge of batterf' preferred by Edward Rosenberg. The latter is a patrolman for the Sailors’ Union, and he claims that the officer assaulted him. Smith says that the patrolman was interfering with the placing of a crew on the Corona on Tuesday morn- ing, and he “gave him a shove.” ~ Judge Low ordered gSmh.h released on his own recognizance. FORSOOK HISALMA MATER Carl Beardsley Came West and Now Cleans Wall- Paper. He Says Californlans Are Enter- prising, but Don’t Reverence the Sabbath. Carl Beardsley, son of Charles Beardsley of Elkhart, Ind., who disappeared myste- riously from the Michigan University at Ann Arbor, last fall, is engaged in busi- ness in San Francisco and does not evince any interest whatever in his alma mater or any other incident of his school days or home life. * Mr. Beardsley has formed a partnership with Lars L. Oie and is now engaged in the somewhat novel and apparently incongru- ous occupation of cleaning wall paper. He and his partner live at the Epworth House, 1037)¢ Market street, and make that place their headquarters for the trans- action of their business. Mr. Beardsley is also a popular member of the local Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation, which he joined upon his arrival in this citv. He is about 25 years old, has a calm confidence of both speech and ac- tion and strikes one as fully able to cope with everything that may come 1n his ath. PWhen interviewed Mr. Beardsley said: “My reason for leaving the university was simply that I lost interest in my studies and was determined to try my luck with the world. I first went East and traveled considerably in search of a healthful cli- mate and business opportunities. “Did I walk some of the time? Well, hardly, Senator's sons don’t generally tramp it, do they? (With a show of pride.) I am not at all desirous that my adven- tures should be exYlo‘ued much. It is sufficient to say that I have seen consider- able of the United Statesin my wander- ings, but now that I have reached Califor- nia 1 am satisfied. Your climate suits me, and 1 like the snap and go of the West more than I tell. There is one disappoint- ing thing about California, and especially San_Francisco, which strikes the visitor forcibly, and that is the disregard for Sun- day. “Last Sunday I had anawfal time get- ting to church. Everything was running just the same, apparently, as on week- ays, and no one could scarcely believe it was a sacred day. There is no excuse for such a state of affairs. % “I admire greatly your enterprise and have occasion to be thankful for my suc- cess. I have prospered ever since Iarrived here. “Do I intend to make this my home? I can't say as to that. Iam quite deter- mined, however, not to return Hast.” ————————— FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE. The W. C.T. U. Will Organize Clubs for the Campaign. The State executive committee of the ‘Woman'’s Christian Temperance Union at a recent meeting decided to instruct each organization of the society within the State to form sul clubs as soon as ssible, so as to wage a vigorous battle in e next campaign in be) of the elective franchise for women. b A resolution was ado that woman mflnfie should be made the feature of the special order of the State convention to begin at Pacific Grove on July 16. rs. Sturtevant Peet, Mrs. General John Bidwell, Mrs. Rose M. French and Mrs. J. D. Spencer were elected as representatives to the world’s convention of the W. C. T. U., which begins in London on June 17. It may be remembered that early last ear the Australian colonies invited the ke and Duchess of York to visit the Antipodes, and the Duke re| d that in that year it was im ble, leaving it an open”question for this year.

The Sargent had been sailing along with the wind and sea behind her, butthe morn- ing of the 31st broke cloudy and with a light breeze from the southwest. As the day *wrogressea the weather became more squally and the sea broke in short, choppy waves, dashing against the ship’s bows and sending clouds of spray down upon and along the deck. The wind camein puffs, and at each squall the ship lay over, only $o right a few moments later and go scudding over the angry waters on a long tack. A heavy puff struck the ship’s can- vass, bellying it out with a roar like the rattling of musketry as the vessel took afiunge and buried her jibboom out of sight in the foam-crested waves. The stick was snapped off, lenvmfi the fore- rigginz dangling. The vessel keeled over and her stout timbers were tested to the uttermost. The yards shivered and creaked in the blast, the bolts strained and the planks groaned, and it seemed as if the old vessel would go to pieces. But the worst was yet to come, and with a crash the fore- topmast went down, carrying the rard and rigsing with 1t. The foremast head car- ried away, and the main topgallant mast went by the board, leaving the fore and main rigging snarled and useless. Nota moment was lost in cutting away the wreckage. The ship swungaround in the trough of the sea, and mountains of water down on her decks and swept over her. The vessel trembled in_every fiber, but the wreckage was cleared in a short time, the men working in water up to their waists, and the battered ship came round in response to her helm. A jury mast was rigged on the fore stump, and with consid- erable labor the Sargent managed to make port. Her ill luck stayed by her, for when she was within a hundred feet of Main- street wharf she went aground in the mud, and there the tug left her.

How Brave Boatman John Nesbitt Saved a Little Lad From Drowning. Little Willie Smith was rescued from drowning yesterday morning and another hero was developed among the boatmen at Meiggs wharf. Willie, a lad of 6 years, played truant from school and meandered down to the foot of Mason street. The little fellow leaned too far over the whart in his curiosity to see where the wate went and he fell in. 3 The accident was witnessed by a num- ber of people, but no one moved to aid the child and he would have been drowned but for Boatman John Nesbitt. The latter was standing at the end of Powell street, and without a second’s thought he started on-a run for the boy. The distance was fully a block and a half, but the boatman made a uick run and plunging into the muddy aepths caught the little fellow as he was sinking for the Jast time. Willing hands were lent to assist Nesbitt and he and the child were hauled up on the wharf. Sergeant Bornier and Officer Ferguson, who had arrived meantime, applied restor- atives which soon restored consciousness to the child, after which he was sent to his home in a patrol wagon. S “I pla hooky from school,” said the little fel{ow as he was being cuddled ap in blankets. “I was going to get trams- len:led.” Then he smiled a bright, happy smile.
