Over the Docking of the Roanoke. - THE STATE IS INVOLVED, At One Time the Governor Mark- ham Is Said to Have Lent Assistance. CHIEF WHARFINGER CENSURED, Captains of the Two Towboat Lines Say He Had No Right to Interfere. The most sensational incident on the water front for years happened yesterday, Mixed up in it were the State of California as represented by the State Harbor Com- Captain Hamilton "imkd for a tug. The Fearless of the Spreckels_line was close at band, but Captain Dan Haskell, knowing she was a “contract ship,” did “not at- tempt to go near her. A few minutes later the shipowners’ tug Monarch hove in sight and took the big vessel in tow. This was nearly two weeks ago, and as space at the wharves was very gurfl to get she was unable to dock until yesierday. When Chief Wharfinger Root notified 'Captain Hamilton that there was a vacant berth at Howard No. 2, the latter went to Williams, Dimond & Co. and informed them of the fact. In view of the fact that a suitagainst theShipowners and Merchants’ Towboat Company was in the courts ask- ing damages in the case of the Pzekara, it was decided not to employ that company’s tugs. An attempt was made to secure one of the Spreckels tugs, but Superintendent Hawley in conformance with-his agree- ment refused to do the work. ° Then it was that Williams, Dimond & Co. and the captain of the Rosnoke found themselves in eep water. The only other tugin the bay that could handle the ship outside of the two regular companies was the Millen Griffiths, ownea by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. Overtures were made to Agent Center and after a great deal of backing and filling an agreement was reached b{ which the Millen Griffiths Will handle-all the Sewell line of clippers for some time to come. 1t was when the docking of the Roanoke began that the excitement started. The Griffiths was not powerful enough to handle the heavily laden Roanoke, so the Eiizabeth was called in to assist her. Chief Wharfinger Root anticipated some damage to the State property and he ordered out the Governor Markham. The towboat men assert that the State tug assisted in docking the vessel, but the men on the Markham and the State em- ployes protest that she never turned & wheel. Nevertheless the matter is to be brought to the attention of the inspectors of hulisand boilers and somebody on the Markham will have to suffer. “The law says that the State must In & letter sent out by the Traffic Associa- tion yesterday it is shown how trade may be extended tn Oregon and Washington.

We have now entered into an agreement with the Pacitic Mail Company and their tug will in future do our work. Just what will be the outcome of the fight remains to be seen.” Chief W harfinger Root says the tug Mark- ham was only alongside the Roanoke in order to save State property from damage. He is positive that the engines were not turned over until the Markham started to back out, and is confident that he was in the right, Nevertheless Hawley and Gray of the two boat lines intend finding out just what right a State towboat has to be alongside a vessel that is being docked. After docking the Roanoke the Millen Griffiths went to the Iroquois of the same line and took her to sea. As the much- tugged ship was passed the Iroquois dipped her flags and the tug blew her whistle. The Roanoke responded and that was the last of the exciting occurrence. WANTS A REHEARING. | Sternberg Thinks Another Argument Will Clear Him., Counsel for Louis Sternberg has applied for a rehearing, the petition being based upon purely technical points. Sternberg wa$ granted a new trial upon one of his convictions and was held on the other by the Supreme Court. The principal peint of the petition for a rehearing is the misconstruction by the lower court, by the jury and by the Su- preme Court of the charge againat the pe- titioner. 1t is argued that the charge against Sternberg is that he did ‘‘cause, procure and allow” A. Gutman to be reg- istered as a voter. The question which counsel wishes to bring out is, Did the jur,; conviet him of causing, procuring or al- lowing Gutman to falsely registert This is considered a strong point. Other points are that the court misdi- rected the jury in matter of law, and that ) WA ’ v %'., '1 Vi ; e 1 i "Z‘A\‘\\-__Q; ’ — S CHNATOWN SHOWS DECAY.

D. Spreckels Tow- boat Company, Williams, Dimond & Co. and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company Are at Outs. [Sketched yesterday by a “Call” artist.] missioners, the J. D. Spreckels & Bros. Company, ‘the Shipowners and Mer- chants’ Towboat Company, Williams, Dimond & Co. and the owners of the American ship Roanoke. As a matter of course Collis P, Hunting- ton, in the shape of the Pacific Mail Com- pany, had a finger in the’ pie, ana it was his tug the Millen Griffiths, that caused all the disturbance. When the towboat companies refused to handle the big ship the owners of the Griffiths stepped in and offered to do the work. Hence the storm. The beginning of vhe trouble dates back to last year, when the ship Benjamin F. Packard was run on a rock in Mission Bay by the tugs Sea Queen and Hercules, At that time all the vessels controlled by Williams, Dimond & Co. were .under con- tract for towage to-the Shipowners and Merchants’ Towboat Company. This con- tract is binding, and the Spreckels Com- finny and the Shipowners’ Association ave an understanding by which neither cogcem will touch a ship coniracted to the other, A ‘When the Packard was finally towed off the rock she was run on the mud flats and there her cargo of wheat was partially dis- chargi Later she was docked and after all the grain was out she was. put on the Merchants’ drydock. A new stem was put in, the copper stripped off and the vessel recalked and other damages were repaired. The bill amounted to tens of thousands of dellars, and when it was sent to the Ship- owners and Merchants’. Towboat Com- pany it was repudiated. The vaiue of the tugs Sea Queen and Hercules was not suf- ficient to cover tbe loss, so the owners of the Packard libeled the company to recover the money paid for damages. The suit is still pending in the United States District Court, but the breach between the Shipowners and Mer- chants” Towboat Company has not les- sened because a judicial settlement of the difficulty 1s nding. * Instead, it has grown wider day by day until now the whole State of California is involved. * When the Roanoke, in the same line as the Packard, arnived off the Farallones, not enter into competition with private individuals or corporations,” said Captain Hawley yesterday, “and the fact that the State tug Governor Markham was along- side the Roanoke when she was docking is & breach of the law.” The actual. work of getting the big ship into her berth was one of great labor and narrow escapes. By a strange coingidence the Seafarer was being moved from Howard No. 2 by the SBhip-owners’ and Merchants’ tug Rescue and the ship Dundonald was be- ing docked at Mission No. 2 by the Ship- owners’ and Merchants’ tug Sea King just as the Millen Griffiths and Elizabeth were attempting to_get the Roanoke in on the south side of Howard No. 1. The siip John McDonald, which had occupied that berth was removed early in the morning by the tug Active. of the Spreckels Company so that once the vessel was.into the dock the way was clear. Twice, however, she had to be stopped—once in order to avoid run- ning into the Seafarer and the other time to allow the Dundonald to cross her bow. Among those who witnessed the docking of the biggest American merchantman afloat were Captain Hawley, superintend- ent of the Spreckels towboat line; Captain Gray, superintendent, and Captain Groper, assistant superintendent, of the Ship-own- ers’ and Merchants’ Towboat Company; Captain George Harvey of the tug Mon- arch, Captain Clem Randall of the tug Vigilant, Captain lke Smith of the tug Sea Queen, Captain J. Biiovich of the tug Active and Captain Dan Haskell of the big tug Fearless. They all lgreed in savin, that Captain Driscoll of the Millen Grif- fiths had done remarkably well in the cir- cumstances, and ised him for the man- ner in which he had \andlad a very diffi- cult job. > - “The towboat company seems to have boycotted us,” said A. Chesebrough of Williams, - Dimond ‘& Co. yesterday. ‘‘Spreckels says we' are under contract to the S8hip-owners' and Merchants’ Towboat Company, and that therefore he cannot handle our vessels. Of course an agree- ment is an agreement-and I respect a man who will keep his end of it. In the case of the Shipowners’ line, however, they dam- aged-one of our vessels 1o the extent of over $20,000, and now they seek to limit | there was no evidence to establish the sub- stantive elements of the crime outside of Gutman, the accomplice. The court also ‘erred, it is claimed, in decisions on two tm.otlions.oi iaw during the course of the rial. THE WILMERDING SCHOOL. A Fine Site Offered at the End Castro Street. At the meeting of the Board of Regents this afternoon the matter of selecting a site for the Wilmerding School will be one of the principal subjects discussed. Mayor Sutro has offered three desirable lots for the college, but so far he has failed to give. the regents descriptions of the prop- erties. The fact that the regents have re- quested descriptions is taken by many as of an indication that they are favorably dis- |. Eosed.wward locating the school in San Tancisco. Among those who have been.in hard at work to accomplish this are the Mer- chants’ Association, the Mechanics’ Insti- tute and the Half-million Club. Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda also are desirous of obtaining the prize, but from indications San Francisco has the preference. % When the Board of Regents meet to-day another offer of a college site will be made. The Castro Land Company has offered a fine lot in its tract near the terminus of the Castro-street cable-car line. The offer comes from A. 8, Baldwin, the secretary of the land company, who states that ‘the proffered land is beautifully located upon rising ground on the lower :slope of the Twin Peaks hills. It commands a fine view of a large portion of ti.e City. ———— Stole an Overcoat, . Simon Gallick, known to the police as a sneakthief, was arrested yesterdav by Detec- tives Graham and Cody on & charge of grand larceny. There was a.dance in the Alea- zar building on Saturday night ana Gallick sneaked off with en overcoat belonging to Sam Benek, which hed a check for in its pocket. The toat was recovered in a pawn- shop on Sixth and Howard streets, but the check had disappeared. reality, and the Celestials will ‘pass away from our shores. There is no longer any possible doubt about the rapid depopulation of the Chin- ese quarter. -If the exodus keeps up and the exclusion act prevails it will be buta few short years before the terrible minor music of the Chinese theaters, the wails of professional mourners and the sharp bark of highbinders’ sixshooters will be stilled forever. . . People who are in a position to observe the rapidity with which Chinatown is fall- ing under the pressure of restriction and exclusion laws see all the signs that come with the dismemberment of a section of the City which bas been the scene of many incidents that mark its growth. 1t has been a scene of murder, intrigue, de- ravity and vice. If any goodness ever ived there it was driven out by the fail- ure on the part of the inhabitants to com- ply with the provisions of the cubic-air W > ‘To—dly. however, the population is dwindling away and the actors in the drama are only called upon for an occa- sional rehearsal. The full blast of iniquit, is taking a bréathing spell once in a while and pareratmosphere finds itself consumed by less lungs than of old. ."One of the best informed men on China- town in San Francisco is the Rev. F, J. Masters of the Chinese Mission on Wash- ington street. The gentleman speaks the language fluently and has written a great d’ug of valuable matter in Trelation to the people. He said in an interview yesterday : "fisdmating the’ number of . peopie rougnly I should say that there are 10, less Chinamen here to-day than there were -eleven years eEo when I first came among them. t that time the streets, were crowded night and d;{' but at present they are becoming thinned out, and notwith- standing the fact that they are a people who live in very close quarters one can easily see that they are notso plentiful. “This fact is particularly noticeable among the tenement-houses where they used to be crowded in 1n unlimited quan- tities. I recollect the time, and it was not’ .__NEW A A A . JQ-DAY. Teveland's - BAKING POWDER. Bread and cake raised with it keep their freshness and flavor.

To- day they are not living that way, as rents are becoming cheaper, owine to the failing demand forquarters, and people can afford to put on a little more style. Some years ago { attempted to rent a store on Dnpont sireet, and the agent wanted $150 for it. Now 1 can get the same place for $75. Chinese merchants tell me that they have had to g6 our of business because the Chi- nese working men were becoming so scarce. 1 hear the same complaint all over °| the quarter, and there must be a great deal in it, ‘*‘Another sign that I consider the best evidence of a decided decrease is the fall- ing off of trade at the entrance to the Ci nese temple. Some years ugc the privi- lege of selling wax tapers, idols, blessed gaper and other idolatrous paraphernalia rought the temple keeners something in the neighborhood of $5000 a year, but now itis difficult to get any one to take the privilege at $1500. This state of affairs does not arise from the destruction of idol worship, but from the fact that_there are not so many people engaged in it. “Take it all inall I think we can at- tribute it 40 the exclusion act of 1888, framed by Scott, and the McCreary act of 1892 authorizing the issmance of certifi- cates. These two acts and their effects combine to bring about the result that to- day seems to point to a gradual reduction of the Chinese population of this City. No one knows it better than the China- man and heis preparing to move himself and his effects to other parts of the coun- try. The exodus has really begun and is destined to last until most of them are gone.”’ This opinion by one of the best authori- tiesin San Francisco would seem to bear out the general im strength to added information supplied by Wendell Easton, who says: “‘Chinese real estate is 1alling in value all over the section of the City occupied by them. I have given the realty question in that quarter a great déal of attention of late and find that whité people are gradu- ally crowding the Chinese out of their old precincts. The putting in of electric-cars has facilitated travel at ‘that end of town and people who. might have been ultimately driven out by the China- man have concluded to stay. They see, as does everybody else, who has paid any attention to the question, that the Chinese are preparing to go, and the resultis that white tenants are dictating prices in the realty market. It is only a question of time before all of that prop- erty will be occupied by white people, and during the interval the Chinese are concentrating themselves ‘nearer the cen- ter of what is known as Chinatown. There are a good many influences that will work to the detriment of the Chinese in the long run, and I think we will see very few of them here in a few years from now. They are becoming scarcer all over the €ity, aud 1 am told that Chinese cooks are not nearly so plentiful to-day as they were three or four years ago. This state of affairs has resuited in a decided raise in salaries for Chinese domestics, and those who remain reap the benefit of the market. “Another thing that will ‘ have con- siderable weight in driving them off their old streets is the fact of the new City Prison being prepared for the spot where the old hall stood. That will bring con- siderable .business down to that end of town, and it must necessarily follow that real estate will pick up. In the meantime there is nothing particular to keep the Chinese here, as their support — princi- pally of their own people—is dwindling away. It is bound to come, and nothing can stop it. White people are gradually spreading over the territory, and the Celestials will in time depart.” Another significant thing is the fact that many Chinese land-holders are mortgag- ing their property as high as possib%e with the intention of forieiting the mort- gage when it falls due. A financial man of this City was recently called upon to 1n- vestigate the financial condition of China- town for the purpose of reporting to cer- tain banking-houses. He recommended the rejection of all loans on the ground that property-owners there were seeking to secure good mortgages, and then give the property up to the mortgagees and join the rest of the tribe who are seeking new fields. PISTOL AND RIFLE SHARPS, The Columbias Will Distribute Special Prizes in Midsummer. The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club met last evening and perfected its prize pro- gramme for this year. Aside from the club medals, which were previously ar- ranged for, a number of special prizes have been offered. It was decided to compete for these between now and the middle of July, the winners to be those who make the best scores in the three pistol and three rifle classes and the champion classes ‘of 'both. It was also decided to modify the revolver contest so as to admit of ait 32 and 38 caliber pocket revolvers. Gordon Blanding sent a letter stating that he would again present the club with a beautiful medal, to be shot for with pis- tols in the all-comers’ class. The club fur- ther decided to offer a valuable ten-shot record ritle medal. 7 Special prizes will be given to the best shots among the lady sharpshooters who belong to the club. Seven new members were elected and thtee names ;;rogoseu for membership. Secretary ¥. Yoting stated that sev- eral marksmen of Santa Rosa had pro- posed to form a pistol and rifie club in that city, to be a branch of the local Columbia Club. Similar propositiuns have recently been made by marksmen ih several locali- ties. There is one branch now in Inyo County. President Rodgers stated that the East- ern sporting papers have announced that the Columbia’s new target will soon be adopted by several Eastern rifle clubs. ————— According to Sir Benjamin Richardson, the normal period of human life is about 110 years, and seven ont of ten average veople, if they took bproper care of them- selves, ought to attain that age.
