ATTORNEY FORD'S OPINION. The Secret Apartments In the Old | Steamer Portland Raise Her Tonnage. Members of the Produce Exchange and a number of warehousemen were before the Board of Harbor Commissioners yes- terday in relation to the matter of grain remaining on the seawall. The produce | people held that the recent change of limit from thirty to ten dayswas a hardship upon shippers and merchants and was vir- tually a tax, as it forced them to the ex- pense of drayage and stovage. The ware- housemen insisted that the State, by per- THE )SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1895. backed off Fisherman’s wharf yesterday. After much hauling of ropes, gesticulation of arms and sounds of tongues the wagon was saved from a watery grave, but the animal is still in the bay. The officials in remeasuring the steamer Portland yesterday made a_ discovery which demonstrated how wonderfully the old smuggling vessel was built for her former shady transactions. When Chaun- cey St. John, the official measurer, and his assistants had carefully worked their tapelines around her forehold they came | aft and found a mysterv. There was a great discrepancy in the intérior dimen- sions that could not at first be accounted for. After a close examination false decks and bulkheads were found which con- cealed a large secret apartment fitted up with bunks for sleepers, and down near the bottom were found secret lockers for opium. When the Portland, then the aytian Republic, was strangely flitting | over Puget Sound, a few years ago, run- ning Chinese and opium across, these hid- den places were utilized. The vessel then became famous in one of the greatest smuggling cases of the century, and which is yet dragging through the courts. The discovery of this increase of carrying capacity caused the raising of the steam- er’s tonnage just 400 tons. GOING TO UKIAH. Sheriff Whelan to Investigate Alleged Overcharges by His Deputies.

THE SBTEAMER [Sketched by @ * Call” artist.] PORTLAND, FORMERLY THE HAYTIAN REPUBLIO. mitting grain to remain in the seawall sheds, was virtually running a warehouse business in opposition to them and their buildings. Chief Wharfinger Boobar stated .that the grain space was limited, and with the new barvest coming on the wharf could not be practically used if clogged with freight awaiting disposal at the pleasure of those having it in charge. After much discussion something likeen agreement upon a limit of five days upon the front of the seawall and fifteen days in the rear was reached. The board toek this basis under consideration. The superintendent of tugs and dredgers was instructed to purchase all oil supplies from the lowest bidder. Captain Philip Brown of dredger1 ap- peared before the board and asked fora new machine. This was a startling re- quest, and President Colnon, who if any- thing is economical, hauled the mud- dredger man’s demand up for examina- tion. He learned that the old dredger had been brought to this coast by the Pacific Mail Company in the early part of 1860 and for over thirty years it had been industri- ously scooping out byways for commerce all over this State. It is now worn com- pletely out and is nseless. Captain Brown will get a new dredger. The attorney of the board, Tirey L. Ford, rendered his opinion yesterday on the acts of the Legislature regarding the | employment of the ferry depot architect, which is favorable to A. Page Brown, and against the opinion of Atforney-General Fitzgerald. The following is the substance of the opinion: The act of April 1, 1872, has never been re- pealed in terms, and is, therefore, still in force, unless it has been repealed by implication, that is. by the enactment of some subsequent statute inconsistent therewith. The act is, express terms, mede applicable to both State and County buildings and provides that the “plans and specifications” for all such build- ings shall be obtained through competitive oids after advertisements therefor duly pub- lished. Itisalso provided that the architect whose plans and specifications shall have been adopted shall enter into a written un- dertaking in the penal sum of $5000 to the effect that he will himsel do, enter into & contract to const templated building for the su: advertisement calling for competitive bids for pians and specifications. If, upon being re- quired to do so, the architect should enter into the contract for the construction of the con- templated building, then some other com- petent architect or superintendent must be employed to superintend the work of con- struction, You further ask: “Should the cosiof con- struction of the foundation for the proposed railroad, passenger and ferry depot ai the foot of Market street, in this_City, be paid out of the fund raised by the sale of bonds pursuant to the provisions of the ‘San Francisco Depot Act,’ or may such cost of construction be paid out of the ‘San Francisco Harbor Improvement Fund’ in the same manner as the cost of con- str}x‘;"}}‘Dn of other harbor improvements is so paid? : In answer to_the foregoing question I would say that I fully conmcur in the conclusions reached by the Attorney-General in relation to the same question as set forth in his letter of the 2d inst. to your honorable body. Within reasonable limits the ‘board is the sole judge as to the kina and character of structures to be erected on the water front. The annual election of officers of the 8an Francisco Produce Exchange took place yesterday with the following result: President, W. A. Holcomb; vice-president, George P. Morrow; treasurer, J. W. Sperry; board of directors—W. A. Holcomb, George P. Morrow, 8. Anspacher, J. W. Sperry, W H. Wright, 'H. Epfinger H. E. Trubenbach, T. Walkington, H. C. Ellis; committee on ) pesls K. D. Girvin, Paul Keyser, H. C. Elis, . Erlanger, H. Sinsheimer. A telegram was received at the Mer- chants’ Exchange yesterday morning stat- ing that the British ship Tncheape Rock, which left here March 16, had arrived at Queenstown. She had on board the crew of the brig Gerda, which she collided with and sunk off the Irish coast. The Mexican authorities are not satisfied with the methods of the Pacific Mail offi- cials, and a law will be brought before the Congress of that republic providing that all vessels clearing from a Mexican port shall carry lifeboats and rafts provisioned and ready for launching at a moment’s notice, The freight rate war has spread to the southern coast, and the Wiliamette will take cargo for the Mexican coast at $4 per ton, Mexican silver, which is about $2 American gold. The opposition steamers and steam sghooners in the north are also at work and have forced the larger corporation boats down to special rates to Portland and the Sound ports. Freight has fallen to §1 per ton and dplsun er rates to $8 to Oregon points and $10 to Puget S8ound. The horse and wagon belonging to an Itslian crab peddler named Cabaliero | secretary to the Governor, will go to Ukiah this morning. The Sheriff’s mission is to investigate the charges made by the State Board of Examiners, that his deputies are overcharging the State for expenses in- curred in taking patients to the State Asylum at that place, He will keep an accurate account of his expenses on the trig. so as to haye some figures npon which to base his conclusions. Secretary McCabe will visit the asylum and report to the Governor if he finds out anything that he thinks the chief execu- tive ought to know. REBUILDING THE RUINS The Half-Million Club Inter- ested in the Scene of the Big Fire. President Henry Crocker Says the Organization Is Very Much Allve and at Work. The Half-million Club is neither dead nor sleeping. There has been some talk of late | about coneolidating the organization with the Merchants’ Association, and the rumor went abroad that the Hali-million Club has outlived its days of usefulness. To the three or four hundred members of the club, who have given their time and money to the successful promotion of its objects and purposes, these stories were anything but agreeable, and especially so to the president, Henry Crocker, who said yester- | dav: “I have heard the story about a sub- merging of the club’s identity in the Mer- chants’ Association, but I desire to state empha tically there is nothing in the asser- tion that we are going to become anything else than what we now are, the Half-mil- lion Club. To be sure we have not figured largely in the papers ol!lnte, but that is no indication that we are dead or at all likely to become defunct. The club has never undertaken any scheme since its inception that it has not carried out successfully, and the records will bear me out in that. The club has also much work ahead and its successful performance will mean much to the City. . “Some of the labor organizations oppose us through & misconception. They think we want to increase the population to half a million by bringing alr kinds—all ‘sorts and conditions of men’ here, and the: point to the number of unemploye: already in the City, and then condemn us and our undertakings. We do not want to bring any more of the unemployed class here. e want capital, and men with families and moderate means. “‘Now, I think 1t is! within the purview of the club to try to have the recently burned distriet rebuilt in a substantial and ornamental style, instead of rising from the ashes in the shape of cheap and eye- sore shanties. Such a fire shounld be’ of ultimate benefit to the City, and I think the club should exert itself to see that the rrogeny-owne_ru rebuild in a manner cred- table to the City. The subject will proba- bly come up at the meeting to be held next Thurs n{. The club should move and that quickly in the matter of inducing owners of property on the burned district 1o make that part of the City as pleasant to the view as any other section. It can- not be done, though, if the former shan- ties and cheap structures are replaced in kind.” OHURCH-STREET FRANOHISE. Meeting of the Improvement Club to Be Held To-Morrow Evening. The Church-street Improvement Club proposes to give Attorney Van Duzer, its counsel, plentv of support in his legal fight against the Market-street Railway Company respecting the stolen franchise on anmh and Ridley streets.

Her manners areas refined and her movements as grace- ful as those of the most carefully nurtured darling of any San Francisco home, yet she lived until four years ago in the little wave-washed village of Marzovia, on the western shore of one of the Aleutian Isl- ands. Mary is the daughter of Captain Brown, who was lost a year ago in the wreck of the schooner which he had named in honor of her. Her mother is an Aleutian whom the gallsnt Scotch captian married nine years ago and who bore him three children, of whom Mary was the oldest and his favorite. He brought his little half savage daughter to San Franciscoa few years ago and placed her in charge of Mrs, H. Kolman, providing amply for her comfort and education. The child made reruarkable progress in her studies in the public schools. She shows a special apti- tude for music. The one grief of the little girl’s life was the loss of her father, to whom she was tenderly attached, and she is loth even yet to give up hope that he may be found. “Perhaps he may come in some day just as he used to do,” she says, with a hopeful light in her big, bright eyes. aptain Brown was a bluff sailor who never_feared the seas. “I never saw a wave I couldn’t beat,” was his boast, and the child partakesof that confidence.

Their principal work consisted of paying bills for supplies and awarding contracts for building ma- terial. Three California firms secured the con- tracts for switches and all necessary iron- work for bridges and switches for the first division of the railroad. Several bids were submitted by local manufacturers for switches and frogs to be used in jhe road as far as the Stanislaus River and' the con- tract was awarded to the Risdon Iron Works. A contract for bolts was made with the Payne Bolt Company and another one for castings and driftbolts for trestles and bridges to the rolling-mills. Quite a large number of bills for spikes, ties and bolts were presented to the goud and they were paid. So_ far all thé ma- terial received by the Valley road has been paid for in accordance with the terms of the various contracts, which allow liberal discounts for cash.. Everythm{owu in readiness yesterday at Stockton to begin constraction, which, | in fact, has been under way for some little ¥ time m inasmuch asbridges and trestles have building at_different places, so that they may be finished in good season. The chief engineer will next direct his attention to the rolling stock and loco- motives, which will be needed immedi- ately in hauling rails, ties, etc., to the front as the road goes down the valley. AN EXECUTOR’S HONESTY. Louis Waas Accounts to the Court for a Debt About Which He Alone Had Evidence. Louis Waas, an employe of Mau, Sadler & Co., convinced Judge Slack of his hon- esty yesterday in an unusual way. ‘Waas has been acting as executor of Mrs. Jobanne Pauline Kuhiert’s will, con- trolling an estate of $600 in bank and $1650 that Waas owed to the estate. Nobody ex- cept the executor knew of the $1650 indebt- edness, and Mrs. Kubiert, who had nomi- nated the executor in her will, told Waas before her death that he could destroy the notes and consider the debt paid. Mr. Waas, however, included the notes in his account of the estate, and yesterday his attorneys, Hood & Hinkle, settled up the estate and paid over the entire amount of the money due. In addition to that Mr. Waas waived his claim to the executor’s fees of $150, leaving $1600 to be paid to Mrs. Kuhiert’s brother and sister, Herman Kuhiert and Mrs. Her- minie Hammam. Both of these heirs-at~ law are poor. THEHOME INDUSTRY DE, Politicians Who Get State Offices Must Favor Home Products. Manufacturers’ Assoclation Secures Governor Budd’s Promise to That Effect. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ As- sociation scored a strong point yesterday in its effort to develop the industries of the State. It was in securing & promise from Governor Budd that he will hereafter ap- point only such men to office as are favor- able to the purchase of supplies from home manufacturers, and that he would use his utmost enaeavor to have all State institu- tions favor home productsin making pur- chases. A committee of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association, composed of W. F. Bowers of the Bowers Rubber Company, George E. Dow of the Dow Steam Pump Company, and Robert-Moore of the Risdon Iron Works, waited on the Governor yes- terday and secured his promise, as stated. The committee, in presenting its case, showed a schedule of supplies purchased for the Glen Ellen Home of Feeble- minded Children, containing in the list many Eastern goods, such as canned corn, starch, soap, soda, etc., all of which, it is claimed, could be urchased at home at equal advantage as in the East. When the authorities at the home had been asked for their reason for this they explained that only bids in com- leted schedules were considered. As the ome bidders could not supply everything required their bids were returned. overnor Budd promised to remedy the matter as far as lay in his power, and said 7 PASSING OF A LANDMARK, The Quaint Little Cottage on Eddy Street Is Being Torn Down. BUILT IN ST. ANNS VALLEY. In the March of Progress the Wil- liams’ Home Stood Alone Amid Trees. The quaint little cottage on the south side of Eddy street, between Market and Mason, that has stood for years out of mind as an object of much curiosity and as a landmark of the good old days in San Francisco, has reached the end of its his- tory, and before another week passes will be only a memory. . ‘The landmark will be demolished this week to make way for the march of progress, represented in this par- ticular case by a two-story building stretch- ing from Market street, immediately op- posite Fifth street, clear through to Eddy, opposite the opera-house. There is one pathetic feature in the pass- ing away of the cottage. One of its former owners, old William Williams, who first made it his home when a young man, lost his reason years ago. The law declared him an incompetent person and the prop- erty, half of a 50-vara lot and the house, passed into the name of Francis Williams, his brother. But William lived on as fore—a harmless old man, whom the nelfihbors regarded as a ‘‘crank.” -He could never bear the. familiarity of small boys, or big ones for that matter, with his front fence, nor could he brook a stranger’s visit to his home, which had become part of himself. And so when the home and its trees, that he had watched with singular solicitude for so very long a time, became estranged by the signing of a legal docu- ment, he was filled with the hallucination that his own end was near. “When I leaye that house,” he would say to the neighpors, *'I shall die.” ‘And when he did move out last Friday, greatly against his will, and took up his abode in a strange place with his brother, he returned to the cottage, wondering why he was not dead. The greater part of Saturday and Sunday he spent around the old home, and yesterday saw him there almost every hour in the day. He could not understand why the matenals in the adjoining stoneyard should be carted away with piles of old lumber from the rear of the cottage. The little house has had an interesting history, though whatever interest may attach to it was altogether through associa- tion. In 1856, when San Francisco gmper was a town nestling under Telegraph Hill, and had its suburbs as far southward as Happy Valley, now Market and Second streets and around there, the Williamses built their home on Eddy street. Butthere was no Eddy street then, not even a trail. Thecottage was put up in St. Anns Valley, which lay along Eddy and Ellis streets, stretching westward" toward Franklin street. Only clusters of chaparral and liveoak grew upon the sand dunes, though all around the Williams house there were ponds and marshy places. There was not another dwelling in 8t. Anns Valley in that early timeand the Williamses had to THE HISTORIC COTTAGE ON EDDY STREET, NEAR MARKET, SOON TO PASS AWAY. o [Sketched by a *“ Call™ arfst.] he did not believe the Board of Examiners would pass bills in cases in which home products had not been given an equal op- portunity with foreign ones. In accordance with a cail issued by the Board of Trade of San Jose, a mass-meet- ing will be held at Turn Verein Hall in that city next Saturday afternoon. It will be under the auspices of the Manufactur- ers’ and_Producers’ Association, a number of members of which will address the meeting. The association yesterday sent out 800 invitations to producersand manu- facturers of Santa Clara County in. the hope of securing a large attendance and of interesting them in the work of the associ- ation. The association hopes as a result of the meeting to enlist in its membership every manufacturer and producer in Santa Clara County. The speakers who will Fo from here will _be Messrs. Hugh Craig, Julian Sonntag, M. McGlynn and Dr. Ju- lius Koebig. The association will endeavor to send a (fe]ognion of at least 100 of its local members to take part in the meeting. ————————— GERMAN MARKSMEN.

The Chief Executive Receives at the California—Affiliated Colleges’ Mat- ters Considered. Governor Budd spent a busy day con- sulting with party leaders and receiving visitors at the California Hotel yesterday. 8o bnsy was he that the military Board of Location was not able to secure time for its meeting as announced. Five members of the Board of Regents, Messrs. Cole, Beckett, Marye, Kellogg and McNutt, conferred with the Chief Execu- tive concerning the use of Folsom granite in the new building for the Associated Col- leges. A law passed by the last Legisla- ture requires that the State prisons be run whenever possible for the benefit of the other State institutions. Asthe Affiliated Colleges is a State 1institution the prison must supply the stone at the actual cost of getting it out. This will reduce the cost of material from 60 to 75 per cent, It is pro- posed to bring the granite to this C ity in huge blocks so that convict labor shall not enter into the competition. The state- ment was made that such an arrange- ment would be perfectly satisfactory to the laboring men. + Steuart Menzies and Attorney Clemens discussed with the Governor the briefs on the appeal in the Gunst removal case which were submitted to the Supreme Court on the 6th of the month. Chairman Field of the executive com- mittee of the Yosemite Valley Commission called to discuss needed repairs and sup- lies and consider how pooling in nnfie ines and hotels is to be prevented. The conference was a long one, for the Gov- ernor is thoroughly acquainted with the valley llmd its needs and is determined to all pooling. @SSTS. VnngZandt and Barnett called to Bny their respects. Congressman Maguire ad a long conference on matters of which | tne gate. \ no hintescaped the sanctum. Ned Lanigan, who is said to be the coming Democratic boss of S8an Francisco, was also admitted within the sacred precincts. Judge Daly, the Code Commissioner from Ventura, who has moved to this City to give all his time to the duties of his office, was among the visitors, as was also Dr. Mizner. About 5 o’clock the Governor left his room, escaped the horde of office-seekers at the foot of the stairs, and made his way to a secure retreat, whence he did not again emerge. ——————— THE BARBERS. Violators of the Sunday Law to Be Ar- rested and Prosecuted. Ata meeting of the Barbers’ Associa- tion held last night, H. A. Wolf in the chair, it was reported that a shop in the Western Addition keeps oven on Sunday afternoons. A committee of two wasap- gomted to investigate, and if evidence can e secured to have the offender arrested and prosecuted. Messrs. Klitsch and Hartman were ap- pointed to fill vacanciesin the entertain- ment committee, which is empowered to arrange for an entertainment and social to be given at an early day. Ogne member asked what should be done with barbers employed in clubs who shave non-members on Sunday after 12 o’clock M. The member was informed that if he could fasten a case of that kind on a club barber the association would take the necessary steps to prosecute him. The committee on picnic was granted a week’s time to collect all unsold tickets and makeits report. There were a number of members who had not attended meetings for some time, and ex-President Klitscg stated that he was glad to see that there is renewed in- terest in the organization and its work. ——————— The Woods-Kent Autopsy. An autospy on the remains of Mabel Kent and Thomas G. Woods was held by Dr. J. 8. Barrett yesterday morning. In each instance the bullet passed through the heart and on measurement it was found that the superficial wound on both bodies was not an inch apart. As Coroner Hawkins is away on & yacation the inquest will not be held until next week. —————— Those Santa Cruz Bonds. The Santa Cruz bond cases have been carried to the United States Circuit Court.
