The Written Conclusions of the Meeting to Be Circulated for Signatures. Representatives of some thirty lumber acturing firms met at the office of | the Pacific Pine Lumber Compauy, at the ¢ er of Market and Main streets yester- day afternoon to take action wpon the recent construction placed upon the Wil- son tariff act by the Collector of the Port at ensburg, N. Y., and its indorsement by John H. Wise, Collector of the Port here. The sense of the meeting was an in- dorsement of the decision. The meeting was presided over by E. M. Herrick and participated in by such firms as the following named: Moore & Smith Lumber Company, Renton, Holmes & Co., Preston & McKinnon, S. H. Harmon Lumber Company, George D. Gray, E. B. Dean & Co., 8. E and E. K. Wood Lumber Compan: The question at issue arose upon ment_of Canada flooring, which was as- sessed an ad valorem duty of 20 per cent on the ground that the material was classed as manufacture. The consignee protested, claiming that flooring should be admitted free under the provisions of paragraph. 676 of the Wilson bill, which free of duty “lumber, rough or *"An appeal has been taken to the Court of New York and will be manu! heard on the 24th inst. The fact that pine and spruce clapboards are specifically mentioned as being free of duty lent color to the idea that flooring and other finished materials should be ad- mitted free. The construction of the law by the Col- lector of the Port at Ogdensburg will affect importers very materially, as they rely for their margins upon the iree admission of dressed lumber with the rough, but the demand for ‘‘dressed’’ lumber under this construction is not sufficient to nwake im- portation profitable. The following conclusion, reached by the lumber manufacturers’ meeting vesterday. conveys the distinction and difference tween dressed lumber and manufactures, and the paper will be circulated among the dealers of the Pacific Coast for signatures and then be presented to Collector Wise: On subx n of the question raised by the recent ruling of the Board of General Apprais- ers in the matter of the importation of lumber from Canada st Ogdensburg, N.

Mrs. May Johns Has Mrs. Maggie God- shall Arrested. Mrs. Maggie Godshall, keeper of the lodging-house 3614 Geary street, was ar- rested yesterday on a warrant charging her with obtaining goods by false pretenses. The complaining witness is Mrs. May Johns, keeper of the lodging-house 502 O'Farrell street. Mrs. Godshall conducted both lodging-houses, but about a month ago she sold out the O'Farrell-street house | to Mrs. Johns. M Johns in her complaint alleges that Mrs. Godshall represented to her that the furniture in the lodging-house was worth $1500, whereas it was not worth $300, and that the income was falsely stated to her. Bne paid Mrs. Godshall $650 cash and gave | her a chattel mortgage for $275. | Mrs. Godshall denies that she overstated | the value of the furniture or the income | | gan, and is now ready to receive t. of blue rock, of which the structure will be | “goose-winged.”’ | other. | square away for home. from the roomers. Mrs. Johns thoroughly examined the place before purchasing it, and was shown the books, and knew ex- actly the true position of matters, If she was not able to run the lodging-house to make it pay it was her own fault. Mrs. Godshall Llames a former housekeeper for instigating the proceedings against her. She was released on bonds. THE TRACKS PULLED UP. Removing Rails From the Site of the Midwinter Fair in Golden Gate Park. All the rails of the Southern Pacific Rail- road Company and all the ties on which they rested in Golden Gate Park north of the south drive are being taken up. A gang of men with pinchbars were at work vesterday tearing up and loading them on small construction flatcars for trans- portation south of the south drive. The work was commenced on the track that ran alongside of where the Machinery Hall stood. In a few daysall the rails will have disappeared from that portion of the ark on which was built the Midwinter Fair city. : A new deer from Placerville, received yesterday, was placed in the glen, where it became one of the happy family of elks, deer, kangaroos and other animals. A broad layer of large rocks Las been laid in front of the north side of the deer glen and of the bear cage, to prevent those in vehicles from driving up too close to the fences and interfering with the foot passengers. The space between these rocks has been filled with loam and planted with flowering plants. This now affords a protection that those who visit the glen will appreciate. The statue of Francis Scott Key, which had become covered with moss, had a scaffolding around it yesterday, and a couple of men with brushes, soap, sponges and water were busy giving the author of the “‘Star-spangled Banner” a good wash- ing down. The foundation for the lcd%e is complete e first course built. b BIG YACHTING VENT, The Sappho Wants to Race the Queen Over the Corin- thian Course. The Contest Would Show the Sall- ing Qualities of the Two Crack Boats. Yachting circles are now agog over a con- templated race between the Sappho and the Queen. The latter captured the cup in the regatta of the S8an Francisco Yacht Club on Sunday, and, while no regrets are expressea for her masterly conduct and good luck, there are a few sailors on the Sappho who would like to sail her against Morrell’s craft. “I am glad that the Queen won,” said ex-Commodore McCarthy, who sailed the Sappho on Sunday, “‘but I don’t think the race was a fair one for the Sappho. Not that I mean to say that everything was not fair as regards the race, but 1 think that another course could be selected which would bring out the merits of the two boats. For instance, we ran into a calm streak, and before we got out of it the Queen was right on top of us. She got the wind as soon as we did and was not hindered for lack of wind. Give us a good open course with all sorts of weather, say fora run of twenty-five miles, and we'll show you a race worth seeing.’” “The San Francisco Yacht Club course,” said another member of the Sappho’s crew, “'is a good one for pretty sailing and exhibitions, but it does not bring out the stuff in the boats. Put the Sappho and the Queen on the Corinthian course and we’ll get one of the prettiest races ever seen on the bay.” A race between the two well-known | yachts woula create the greatest interest among the local yachtsmen, and it is in the order of things that it may be con- summated. Before the wind the Queen would have little chance, but she does wonders in windward work, and yet the Sappho’s crew pride themselves on being able 1o give the Queen points on beating. “I will give the Sappho a race,” said Charles H. Marrell, owner of the Queen, yesterday afternoon, ‘‘and the course I would like would be over the Corinthian course. Let them challenge me and I will accept. That course, though, would not be twenty-seven miles. Still, the longer they make the race the better I am satis- fied.” The Corinthian course starts from an imaginary line drawn out from Meiggs wharf, around Presidio shoal buoy, thence around a stakeboat at Southampton shoal, thence around Presidio shoal buoy and home to Meiggs wharf. The performance of the Folus on Sun- day has excited considerable comment, and the yachtsmen are tryving to get up a race between her and the Truant. The latter was not in the regatta, but she has never made as good a showing with the Queen as did the Zolus. . The maneuvering of the Queen on Sun- daf' off Shag Rock cost her owner consider- able expense for repairs. 1t seems that after her topmast went the main boom flewup in the air and the mainsail was The gaff was on one side of the mast and the boom was on the Morrell gave up the race and thought that there was nothing to be done but clear away the wreckage and Ed Howard, in his cool, quiet way, suggested that the broken stick be cut away and the topsail housed. “We won’t need the light sails after we round the rock,” he said. *“All we need are the working sails.” Shag Rock was just barely cleared, the backwater saving the Queen, and two minutes later she was in the race with the best of them.

THE DEED ASCRIBED TO DRINK. He Was One of Three Prospective Helrs to a Valuable Estate In Germany. Kurd Martens, a member of a wealthy German family, fatally shot himself in a toilet-room of the saloon, 533 Sacramento street, yesterday morning. His father was the principal partner in the firm of Carl Martens & Co., known throughout the German empire; His father died recently and left an estate valued at 3,000,000 marks, and Kurd was one of the three prospective heirs. Bince his father’s death he has been receiving an allowance of $300 per month from his mother, pending the settlement of his father’s estate. Kurd studied medicine and received his diploma as a surgeon and physician in Germany. Afterward he got tired of a citizen’s life and obtained a commission as lieutenant in the German Army. He had not been long in this City when he fell in love with one of the daughters of Mrs. F. Rose, proprietress of the National Hotel, 512 Bush street, and they were married in February last. The young couple took up their residence in Fruitvale. Yesterday morning they came to the City together, and Mrs. Martens went to her mother’s hotel on Bush street, while her husband called upon his brother-in- law, Adolph Trefz, saloon-keeper, 533 Sac- ramento street. When he entered the saloon he called for a glass of wine. He had been drinking heavily for several days and was under the influence of liquor at the time. His brother-in-law urged him not to drink any more, but to go to Bush street and join his wife. He refused, and Trefz left the saloon to go for Mrs. Martens. After he had gone he again called fora ;ivlnss of wine, and it was served to him. {e drank the wine, and, without saying anything, went to_the toilet-room in the rear. A moment later the people in the saloon were startled by the report of a pistol. Several men rushed into the room and found Martens on the floor with blood pouring from a gaping wound close to his right ear. A 32-caliber Harrington & Richardson revolver was clasped in his right hand. t was at first thought that he was dead and the Coroner’s office was notified, but when the Morgue wagon reached the place the ambulance had been there and Martens had been taken to the Receiving Hospital, as it was discovered that life was not ex- tinct. Drs. Berry and Mays Ii‘romptly attended to the wounded man. They found he had placed the muzzle of the revolver in the aperture of the right ear and pulled the trigger, the bullet Jodging in his brain. The doctors expressed the opinion that he could not recover. When Trefz and Mrs. Martens reached the saloon they learned of the shooting and that Martens had been taken to the hos- pital. They returned to the National Ho- tel, and accompanied by Mrs. Rose and an attorney hurried to the hospital with the intention of inducing Martens to make his will, but they found him unconscious, When the young wife saw her husband she was frantic with grief and a pathetic scene followed. She threw herself upon his unconscious body and amid her sobs implored him in piteous tones to speak to her. She was led away, weeping bitterly, by her mother and brother. No reason could be assigned for the rash act unless Martens had become tempo- rarily insane from over-indulgence in drink. It was learned last night that Martens had been previously married, but was divorced from his wife in New York. His present wife is only 16 years of age. EAEAND THE GAME LAWS Counties That the General Law Will Not Affect in Any Way. Where Ordinances Passed by Supervisors Must Still Be Ob- served by Deer-Hunters. The many twists and turns in the State game law in reference to the closing and opening dates of the game season have been a puzzle to many sportsmen. H. T. Payne of Field Sports had a very interest- ing interview recently with an assistant of the Attorney-General, and from that gen- tleman he gleaned information which will prove of much interest to sportsmen and also to the Supervisors of the counties of the State. Tt isa general belief that deer can he killed in any of the counties between July 15 and Octoly)er 15, exceptin§1 in such coun- ties where the Supervisors have shortened the time for the killing of deer to please the wishes of the sportsmen of their re- spective localities. The State law provides that it shall be unlawful to kill male deer between the 15th day of October and the 15th day of July and repeals all laws or ordinances in conflict therewith, but only such as are in conflict. It will therefore be seen that any ordinance passed by the Boards of Supervisors of the several coun- ties of the State that is not in conflict with the State law is not repealed. It must therefore be remembered that the State law Frovides that it shall be unlaw- ful to kill deer between October 15 and July 15, not that it shall be lawful to kill between July 15 and October 15. The Su- pervisors therefore have the authority to say that it shall also be unlawful to kill deer at any other time between July 15 and October 15. The new game law repealed only such acts and parts of acts as were in conflict with it. Section 29} of the county gov- ernment act gives the Supervisors power to pass ordinances for the protection of ame and fish and that power has not en taken from them any further than to prevent a conflict with the State law. All ordinances passed by the Supervisors a year ago or since that provide for an open season on deer whose limits are within the three months between the 15th of July and the 15th of October, and have not been re- pealed by the board, are not in conflict with the general law, and are consequently still in force. The county ordinances that are still in force are: Contra Costa—Jnly 20 to September 2. Los Angeles, Marin, Monterey, San Mateo, Ventura—Jjuly 15 to September 1. Sonoma—July 25 to September 5. San Benito, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz— August 1 to September 15. Lake—August 1 to October 1. Colusa, Glenn and Orange—August 15 to October 1. § ‘Amador and San Joaguin—September 1 to October 1. In other counties where ordinances have been passed either the opening dates have been set previous to July 15 or the closing dates later than October 15. Such or- dinances have been repealed by the general law. The ordinance in Mendocino County thxbm ng the killing of deer until August 5, 1895, is of course in force unless it has been repealed this year, and if so the pres- ent season in that county will be from Au- gust 25 to October 15. Sportsmen who have not had an oppor- tunity as vet {o scour the mountain jungles for deer are wondering what has become of the many nunters who left this City last Sunday for the haunts of big game. It is resumed that the hunters are all safe, ut their friends cannot understand the meaning of the delay in the arrival of the carcasses of the noble four-pronged bucks that were promised and guaranteed to be in this City by last evening. C. B. Gilman and W. F. Gunn are now camped near Weaverville, and a letter re- ceived from Mr. Gilman states that all kinds of game is plentiful and trout- fishing first class. S. Mack of the Pacific Kennel Club re- turned Kes"fl‘dfly with a four-pronged buck which he killed near the head- waters of Eel River. J. Reynolds and Detective Harper are in charge of a large camping party which is at present located about fourteen miles east of Ukiah in the heart of a great deer country. Venison steaks from that lo- cality are daily expected. C. M. Osborn, T. R. Barney, G. Wickes and W. D. Brown have been pumping lead at deer in canyons of the Tamalpais Club since Monday morning. Either the monarchs must be very scarce in the pre- serves this year or otherwise the hunters are off their aim, as the color of a Tam- alpais buck has not as yet made its appear- ance on this side of the water. The mosquitoes that took the Novato hills by storm, so to speak, on the opening day of the deer-shooting season last year droye many an enthusiastic sportsman off his beat. In anticipation of such another warm reception from the musical pirates of the hills, several deer-hunters went into the mountains on Monday well prepared to defeat the aims of ‘the enemy by placing small-meshed nets over their heads and oiling their hands with some prepara- tion which some people said was offensive to mosquitoss. There was no necessity for armor of any kind, however, as the blood- thirsty snipe of the Novato Mountains have not as yet made their summer ap- pearance in any great numbers. Yet it needs only a few of them to make life mis- erable for a city sportsman, whose blood is highly prized by the country mosquito. The greatest noise heard in many moons startled the good residents of Novato, Marin County, about 7 o’clock on Monday morning, but notwithstanding the volume of smoke that hung on the hills and the loss of several tons of lead not one single trophy of the chase returned to Novato that evening. Among ‘“the noted” marksmen who scared the very existence out of several deer were Dr. Leonard, J. C. Nealon, J. Sutton, H. Lu- cas, J. Miller, J. Valencia and Messrs. Lynch and O’Neil. The farmers in the vicinity of where the skirmishers were sta- tioned for big game are congratulating themselves because of having their cattle driven off the range last Sunday. Messrs. Ladd and McRae, who shot on the Pacheco ;an es, succeeded in bagging a beautiful uck. Samuel F. Hughes is the proud possessor of a kennel of nine puppies, out of his favorite English setter, Silver Plate, a win- ner of bench-show honors. The father of the youngsters is the well-known English setter Starlight. The little fellows are highly admired by lovers of sporting dogs. C. F. Mullins and his sister, Miss Alice Mullins, caught, in a day and a half, ang- ling in the Country Club's lakes, twelve Eastern, eight cut-throat and two rainbow trout. The fishes averaged in weight114 pounds, the largest of the Eastern tipping the scales at 13{ pounds. CHIESE WTHE SOKS. Seven of Them Now on the Steamer Gaelic Are Said to Be Frauds. Thelr Pictures Are Affixed to the Custom~House Records of Other Men. Collector Wise is busily engaged in look- ing into the cases of Chinese native sons on the Occidental and Oriental Company’s steamer Gaelic. While he is satisfied that there is no “ring” working in California or anywhere else, still it is very evident that some one is using the ‘“‘native son” bait in order to catch unwary Chinese. ‘There are twelve Celestials on the Gaelic who claim to be “native sons,” and out of these there are seven whose records do not agree with those in the Custom-house. The other five say they were born in Los Angeles, but the chances are that they also are frauds, and with the other seven will be sent back. Collector Wise will not begin his investigation until to-morrow, but the evidence is all in and a number of people will be called upon to explain their connection with the deal. Among the latter will be Ed Duffield, an ex-clerk in the law office of A. H. Ricketts and at one time a police court clerk. No charge against the latter will hold, however, as he 1s supposed to have simply copied the records of the Custom-house, and the Chi- nese did the rest. The manner in which the scheme was worked is very simple. In the days when “‘prior residents’’ were allowed to lJand and the courts were kept busy passing upon the merits of each case, a large number of ‘“‘native sons” were landed. The proof of each one’s claim and also their pictures were introduced in evidence and became a record of the Custom-house. Whenever a Chinese born in California wanted to visit his fathers’ country he, therefore, was anxious to secure a copy of the papers that proved his right to citizenship. These copies have beer multiplied by the dozen, but in every instance the photograph of the man who sought to re-enter the United States and not that of the real *‘native son” appeared on the copy. This is the predicament in which the seven frauds on the Gaelic are placed, and the Collector will do nothing in their cases until he can ascertain whether there is any means of bringing the white men to justice who en- gineered the plot. ‘‘It was a bungling affair,” said Collector Wise, “and no one bat the Chinese will suffer. The pictures are not a bit alike, so of course we will have to send back the men. 1f by hook or by crook I can reach the men who engineered the job I will do 80, but I am afraid that, as there is no for- gery, I cannot touch them. '‘Native sons” in future will have tc bring conclusive fi:oof ,of their birthplace before I land em. . ——————————— The Garratt Estate. The decree of final distribution of the Wil- liam T.

Dr. Potts, Backed by Barney Mur- phy of San Jose, to Be Quar- antine Officer. Dr. Levingston has retired from the fight for the position of Health Officer. He has agreed to step down and out and to ask nothing for himself at present on condi- tion that his immediate personal friends are taken care of. This action is a result of the bitter per- sonal fight which has been made against his appointment, though the direct cause for it has been the doctor’s desire to re- lieve the Governor, who is under many obligations of friendship to him, from em- barrassment. Under the changed aspect of affairs Dr. Mizner, Levingston’s partner and fidus Achates, who was formerly a candidate for Quarantine Ofticer, is said to be slated for the Health Office. He admitted yesterday that he was a candidate, and the admis- sion is regarded as confirmatory of the statement of Levingston’s withdrawal, as the two are too close together to be both candidates for the same office. Besides, Mizner carries with him the whole weight of the Levingston influence. The office of Quarantine Officer will, it is said, go to Dr. Potts of San Jose. A tele- gram was received last night from that city which stated that he had been defin- itely promised the appointment. His backers in his candidacy have been Barney Murphy of San Jose and several other close friends of the chief executive. The Governor has decided to keep his hands off the appointments to the Board of Health. “I shall write no letters to the board,” he said yesterday, “nor shall I make any recommendations. I bave selected four gentlemen who are thoroughly acquainted with the needs of the City and with the people of 8an Francisco. If theboard asks me to make any suggestions I shall prob- ably make them, but not otherwise. In any case my suggestions would be merely political ones.” LATEST (YOLING NEWS. Handicaps for the Races at Eureka on % July 20. R. A.

His placing of the class B men is notice- able, because he classes the Southern Cali- fornia rider, W. A. Burke, as better than Castleman, Jones or Long. In class A McFarland is the crackerjack of the lot. Harry F. Terrill, the crack class A rider of the Bay City Wheelmen, will not_be seen on the track again this season. His father died last Sunday, and in conse- quence Terrill will five up racing. His brother, W. A. Terrill, was racing in the Fast.
