COMMENT ON THE AFFAIR Officers Assert That Colonel Mac- donald Will Enforce Discipline. LINE OFFICERS YET SULKING. They Will Be Brought to a Sense of Their Duty as Company Commanders. When Adjutant-General Barrett was in the City last Saturday, the day after the election of a lieutenant-colonel and three majors of the First Infantry, N. G. C;, he expressed the greatest satisfaction over the result. Commenting on the scheme of re- organization he said: *‘The work of bring- ing order out of confusion is progressing. The officers of the reorganized First Regi- ment are, in my judgment, ‘able and efficient. “Colonel Macdonald is an officer of experience and judgment. There is no good reason why the First Infantry, a regimental organization of twelve'.com- panies and three battalions, should not be one of the best regiments in the National Guard of the United States. San Fran- cisco is a large city and contains the ma- terial for & regiment of the .highest order. Adjoining the City is an important post of the regular army, where troops of all arms of the service are constantly on duty. Everything is favorable to the instruction of National Guardsmen, and if officers and men perform their duties diligemtly tbe regiment should reflect the highest credit on the National Guard of the State.” The adjutant-general was aware that some twelve or fifteen officers of the regi- ment had *‘sulked in their tents” after the Friday night’s election. and refused to meet at the refreshment table the officers- elect, but he did not regard the sulking as serious. ' Otker officers of the National Guard who had heard something of the tone and knew -something of the temper of the companies commanded by Captains Conley, Fitzpat- rick and Warren predicted insubordina- tion. These companies were recently trans- ferred from the old Third Regiment armory on Golden Gate avenue to the armory of the First Infantry on Page street. Since the transfer there has been loud talking, with occasional explosions of pro- fanity,.but nothing like a scene occurred until yesterday morning, when gne panels of a company door were battered in. The uproar attending the assault on the door was great and the language used concern- ing officers was anything but decent. Tidings of the disorderly demonstration flew quickly to other companies in the building and to other armories in the City. Some of the officers recently retired or mustered out helped to circulate the news, and perhaps embellished the story as it went the rounds, for it_is known that sev- eral of the retired warriors have been pre- dicting all kinds of demoralization and disaster. It is said that some of the dis- grantled officers on the ‘retired list would like nothing better than to see the reor- ganized First Regiment broken up by dis- cord and insubordination. At a late hour yesterday afternoon Colonel William Macdonald of the First Infantry had not been officially advised of the door smashing and disorderly conduct at the Page-street armory, but unofficial reports had reached him. He seemed vexed and angry at the thought of the newspapers taking up the subject, saying that the disorderly conduct of & drunken soldier in a regular army reziment would not be noticed by the press. He said: “The press in giving undue publicity to scenes of this kind discourage good men from enlisting in the National Guard. Now, as far as I know, only one man is re- sponsible for the battering of the door at the armory, and I assure you .that he will be dealt with as he deserves. Iam going out there to-night and will ascertain all the facts. If any property has been de- stroyed the amount of damage done will’ be held out of the camping allowance.” The fact was mentioned to the colonel that officers of the National Guard were generally of the opinion that he was able to handle the regiment and’bring the dis- orderly elements to account, but he did not relish the -ailusion. ‘He regarded it as next to an insult that any one should ex- press by indirection a doubt of - his ability to enforce order and punish disorderly guardsmen. Z “The guard,” he said, ‘‘should not be accused of disorderly conduct because one man gets drunk and makes an uproar. I will master this regiment and enforce dis- cipline if T live and no mistake. Await results and see. I know that Governor Budd is with me, and I do not propose to have any companies mustered out. The company officers must do their duty.” ‘The quescion was asked if-the company officers would preserve order by coaxing the men to be good. . * ¢ “There will ge no coaxing about it,” re- lied the colonel indignantly. ‘‘Men will Ee ordered to obey, and if they don’t obey they will get out to make room for good men who are awaiting an opportunity to enlist.” : An officer who served for many years with Colonel Macdonald in the Second Artillery and who was recently retired with honors said yesterday, in speaking of the incipient revolt: ‘“‘Colonel Macdonald isall right. 'When he-gets his Seotch up he will_bring the ringleaders to punish- ment. He may be a littie slow at first, but will neverallow a rowdy and insybordinate element to get the upper hand of him,” When it was suggested -that Governor Budd, General Warfield and Adjutant- General Barrett wefe not going to inter- fere, but, intended to keep hands off and allow Macdonald a fair opportuhity to bring the regiment around in good form he remarked: *‘The Governor will not be disappointed. ‘The companies from the Third cannot run over Macdonald, as they have over other men. He will fire them out, if they have to fo by whole companies. 1t is just as well that the test should come now as later on. Tes, Macdonald will bring these sulking company officers to a sense of duty and proper respect for superior authority. I know that officers as well as men are to bé blamed for inciting insubordination in the First Regiment. When officers kick and talk openly about impeaching the Governor and going to the Legislature for redress, men in the ranks follow their example and treat their officers with dis- respect. “Out at the armory, on Page street, the companies from the .old Third Regiment threaten to carry on they did at their armory on Golden Gate avenue. " When a remonstrance was made the other evening about so much noise & guardsman replied : “That is'nothine. Waituntil we *‘rush the growler. Being told that ‘rushing the growler’ was not allowed in that armory he replied: ‘We will rush it fast enough, as you will see.” ”’ 4 i Colonel ‘Macdonald ° visited the regi- mental armory on' Page street last night and found on inguiry that the turbulent guardsman was Private Cook, who belongs to Gaptain Fitzpatrick’'s company. and learned further that the tumult was an individual matter and not a company af- fair, The man, who had -been drinking, was inside, and not being able to work the spring lock, fancied that he had been locked in. Straightway he seized a mus- ket, and with the butt of the gun smashed through the panels of the door. No one regrets the disorder more than Captain Fitzpatrick. Colonel Macdonald will rder a sum- mary court-martial at once and the offender will be .dismissed from the servica. * A soldier dishonorably dis- charged from the National Guard is dis- franchised for twelve months, and unless ardoned can never hold office in the State. Cook is spoken of as a good soldier when he is sober. . COBB GETS MARRIED. United to the Woman Who Might Testify Against Him. John W. Cobb, who. was recently con- victed in the police court under the name of 8t. Clair of cruelly beating a little girl who ‘he claimed was his_ daughter, was married yesterday by a Justice of the Peace to Sina “A. Middlekauff, better known as Nellie Adams, with whom he has been consorting ‘for some time past. 1t is believed that Cobb, or St. Clair, mar- ried the woman to prevent her giving tes- timony against him in case he obtains a new trial, which he has applied for. He was sentenced to six months in the County Jail and is now out on bonds pending the appeal of his case. Captain of the Ship M. E. Grace Before the Federal Court.

IT WAS A VALUABLE ' CATCH. The Drug Was Sold in Chinatown for $1600 and the Finders Are Now Happy. Two fishermen made a lucky haul last week. Gold and jewels have been found from time to time in the stomachs of voracious fishes, but thisis the first time, that over $2000 worth of opium has been brought ashore in a fish net. Yet this was exactly the luck that befell Mateo Vodono- vich and Andrew Vunivich. While haul- ing in their nets they discovered two oiled sacks entangled in the meshes, and think- ing they had found a treasure they made for the little sandy cove near Fort Point, and after some pulling and hauling landed their booty. When the sacks were ripped open they were found to be almost full of five-tael boxes of opium. That night the drug was taken to Chinatown and the fishermen realized $1600 on their find. They divided the money and are now taking what they consider “a hard-earned holidav.’” o When . Deputy Surveyor of the Port opening from the bedroom into the hall Here she met another fright. Her screams had frightened the burglar, who at once fled from the parlor into the hall also. The result was that Mrs. Carolan ran full tilt into him as he was sprinting toward the hallway. Thinking she meant to capture him, the fellow gave her a shove that was notquite a blow and increased his speed to such a rate that he missed his footing on the stairs and .gave an impromptu imitation of tobogganing down an uneven incline without a toboggan. Y ] The burglar could not have been seri- ously hurt by his long fall, as he was gone when the people of the house gathered to Mrs. Carolan’s assistance. It was evident that he had not been at work in the room ggry long, for he secured absolutely no oty. FIRED IN HIS MOUTH. Harry Rubon Attempts to Commit Suicide in the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery. J. J. Fredericks, a' carpenter, livine at 3413 Geary street, was working - in the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery yesterday afternocon, and between 4 and 5 o’clock he heard two shots fired inrapid succession. He hurried in the direction of the sound and found a man lying on a pathway with blood pour- ing out of his mouth and a revolver clutched in his right hand. Fredericks telephoned for the ambulance and the wounded man was taken to the Receiving Hospital. - Drs. Weil and Rinne found that the man had evidently placed the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth and pulled the trigger. The bullets had cut his tongue and had lodged in the back of the neck. The probability is that he wiil recover. The man after regaining consciousness said by means of pencil and paper that his name was Harry Rubon, bat he refused to give his address.

SOME PROBLEMS ARE QUEER. A. R. Hall Says Large Coast Buyers Have as a Rule No Basis on Which to Purchase. A.B. Hall of St. Paul, who has some original ideas as to how the dried fruit of California should be marketed, is at, the Occidental. He said yesterday, when seen by a CALL representative: How to market the dried-fruit product of the State at a profit to the producer is beginning to be of very general interest. More than the usual number of knotty problems have presented themselves to the California fruit.grower in the few . years that he has been producing fruit in quan- tities sufficient to displace the foreign arti- cle, so that it'is not strange he ghould have some of them yet unsolved. From one end of the State to the other Jis heard the complaint from groers that their o*chards are proving unprofita- ble property'and that mortgages and in- terest have accumulated to still further complieate conditions. The Jack of ready money to defray ex- penses of production in many instances compels the grower to hypothecate his crop, and by so doing he loses control of the price to be received for it and the method to be pursued in marketing it, leaving to another, not always interested in his welfare, to set the price he receives for the product of his labor. In this way seeds of demoralization are sown and in- discriminate consignments East have nat- urally followed. It is not fo be expected that dried-fruit dealers will purchase outright a commod- ‘| ity when by making a reasonable advance they can secure the product withont incuor- ring the risk of marketing, unless in case of advancing market, when a profit is an- ticipated in buying, which condition, un- fortunately, has not existed for several vears. In this way has the coast buyer of Cali- .| fornia dried- fruits been driven from the market, in many cases after financial loss,. oecasioned by competing in the Eastern markets ' with promiscuously consigned goods. : Nor isit to be expected that the Eastern wholesale buyer will make f. o. b. pur- chases when his market is full of consign- ments, frequently in the hands of incom- petent and unscrupulous dealers, from whom he can buy at any price above the advance, freight and commissions. As matters now standthe large coast buyers, as a rule, have no safe basis upon | which to buy this product. The wholesale Eastern buyer has not a safe, staple mar- ket upon which to make f. 0. b. purchases. It is only when the article reaches a ruin- ously low figure that he feels safe in mak- Woywod, was begun 'by TUnited States District Judge Morrow and a jury yester- day. , Woywod and four fellow-sailors—John Babis, who had also been beaien by the prisoner, Collis Thurston, Theodore Nel- son and Edward Chadwick—were put on the stand. Their story is that Captain de Winter struck Woywod with a revolver, and afterward put'him in irons and beat him while in irons. This, they say, was during its voyage around the Horn. The captain says Woywod drew a knife on him. It is also said that Woywod was getting a sail out of a locker andwas acci- dentally struck on the head. THD. FODTPAIS BENTER Joseph McDermott Wields an Iron Pipe With Telling Effect. He Has a Thrilling Experience on Geary Street at an Early Hour in the Morning. Joseph McDermott, 547 Howard. street, walked into the Central police station.at an early hour yesterday morning carrying in his hand a piece of iron pipe about five feet Jong and an inch in circumference. ‘He told Lieutenant Birdsall he bad had a thrilling experience with two footpads and had vanquished them with his iron pipe. ““ had been out visiting some friends on the Point Lobos road,” said McDermott, “and stayed later than I intended. When 1 was leaving they insisted that I shiould take with me the piece of iron pipe, as the road was lonely and dangerous characters were around. “As I was walking along past the ceme- tery at Lone Mountain, never thinking of a footpad, a_young man stepped up to me and saiag, “Where are you going?’ I re- plied, ‘That’s none of your business,’ and he said, ‘Oh, isn’t it? throw up your hands. » “I gave him a swinging blow on the left shoulder with the iron pipe, and he sheered off, holding his shoulder with his right hand, and disappeared in the ceme- tery. I think I must have broken his shoulder bone.” As I turned round, another young man threw his arm round my neck and tried to garrote me. I swung the iron pipe, but could not give him the full force of the blow. The pipe hit him on the neck, and he let go his hold and ran along the road. - “I met two policemen and told them of | my experience. They asked me to go back with them, and on our way back we met a sergeant, and he told me, as [ had a long way to walk, to go home. I gave him a description as near as I could of the two men, bt as it was dark I could not tell him much.” Sergeat Christiansen and the two police- men searched the neighborhood, but could find no traces of the two footpads. Aec- cording to McDermott, one tas 5 feet 8 mchgs tall, with a mustache, and the other 5 feet 834 or 9 inches, and clean shaven. McDermott got considerable notoriety 8iX or seven years ago by being charged with the murder of Herman Wessels, the keeper of a sailor boarding-house on Fourth street. Wessels was a brutal char- acter, and took a pleasure in abusing sail-’ ors who boarded with him.. McDermott was one of his boarders and during a fight he threw him downstairs, killing bf s He was tried for murder and acquitted by the jury. % 1 ¢ A . ‘Women's Mass-Meeting on Sunday. .

Patrick McAdams, 78 years of age,’a pioneer, died of old age and general debility at his home, 674 Branndn street, early yesterday morning. The Soclety of California Ploneers, | Ruddell was to!d of the haul made by the fishermen he looked puzzied for ajmoment | and then said: “I wounlan’: Le a bit sur- | prised bus thet it was the opinm thrown overboard from tie Rio a coaple of vears ago. Those sen probably knew | what they were after, as they were in & fishing-boat near by when the stuff was | thrown overboard. ““The chase afier that opium was one_of the most exciting ones we ever had. We received news that the stuff was on the Rio de Janeiro, but, although the steamer was searched from stem to stern, we could not find it. I finally came to the con- clusion that it would be dropped over- | board as the Rio was steaming-out of the | bay. I sent Inspector Henrich out to Point Lobos to keep a constant watch on the steamer through the marine glasses ih‘mn the time she passed Alcatraz until | she passed out to sca. Inspector Holmes | and McGinnis 1 stationed. at Meiggs wharf, to await the signal from Henrich. “When the Rio was between Black Point and Fort Point the news was tele- gravhed that thres or four sacks had beeh thrown overboard and Ficked up by a fishing - ‘boat in which were three men. Holmes and McGinnis got aboard the Hartley and gave chase. The boat tried to get away and the inxpectors fired at her. something was dropped overbbard. When we got alongside they could at first find only two men and no opium.’ The third man was found squeezed into a little hole in the bow of the boat, and when pulled | out proved to be John Malany, a well- known hanger-on around the Mail dock. *‘Well, the three men were arrested, but as we had no evidence they were allowed to go. Tor months the Hartlev and half a dozen Whitehall boats grappled for that opinm, but they never found it. Five-tael tins of -opium are only half full, you know, and will float. So I suppose the rope that kept the sacks attached to the weights has rotted away and allowed the opinm to come to the surface. If it was the Rio’s opium that these men secured, they made a big haul. We will inquire into the matter, but I am afraid very little will come of it, as these fishermen are very clannish and one will never tell on another.!’ At Fishermen’s wharf it was admitted that the opium had been taken in the nets, but as soon as the men found out what the information was wanted for, all that could be got out of them was, ‘‘Me no understand.” SHE SCARED THE BURGLIA A Badly Frightened Woman Puts a Midnight Marauder to Flight. He Was a Masked Robber and Got Away, but He Did Not Get " Mrs: Carolan’s Jewels. Mrs, Carolan, the landlady of a select lodging-house at 539 Geary street, is in doubt as to whether she should consider herself 2 heroine or not. Of one thing there is no doubt. Sheputa masked bur- glar to flight and saved her jewels. But then she admits that she was probably as badly frightened as the ruffianly robber, _ The exciting event occurred a little after midnight. Mrs..Carolan had retired and had been asleep only a short time, when she was awakened by an tineasy feeling that there was.some one in the parlor ad- joining her bedroon. She is a widow, and there was no one to appeal to for assist- ance. She sat up in bed .straining every nerve to pierce the darkness of the next apartment. There was the rustle of soitly moving footsteps. ‘Then 'as she stared into the darkness she saw a man walk ‘softly past the open door toward an escritoire in which she kept some valuable jewels. His face was partly covered by a black mask. He was tall and seemed to be quite burly. Mrs. Carolan at once realized that he was a burglar and wasalmost paralyzed with frighit. A second later she recovered her senses and began to scream. Then, with the one thought of getiing away from of which he was a member, will bury him. the dreadful stranger, she ran for the door She ‘came to, and as she did so | felt despondent. In his pockets were a flask of whisky, a box of cartridges, $3 60 | ir silver, g seaman’s discharge dated Feb- | ruary, 1894, with tbe name cut out, an | employe’s ferry ticket in thé name of | Harry Rubon, and a pawn ticket for a gold | watch and chain and diamond locket, with | the address Mike Miian, East Berkeiey, written op the bottom. BEPUDIATED HERMOTHER, Lily Hansall Did Not Relent Toward the Parent Who Forgot Her. Mrs. A. Standberg C]aims Her Daugh- ter After Fifteen Years of Separation. | «I would rather work lke a slave than | go with you. I will throw myself into the | bay first.” | These harsh words were addressed by | 15-year-old Lily Ransall to-the mother she | has never known. They were spoken with | determination, and one look 4t the dogged | exvression of the girl’s face showed that they were not rashly spoken. i ‘When Lily was 4 monthsold her parents agreed to separate. Her father went East | and the child was placed in care of Mr. and Mrs. Buschel, the mother, who re- | mained in the City, paying liberally for | her sustenance for more than two years. | After that the contributions ceased, and | Lily was cared for by Mr. and Mrs. Buschel ‘ as though she were their own. When the | girl was 12 years old the mother, who had married again, asked a writ of | habeas corpus in order to regain the | seemingly forgotten child, but such | writ was refused by -both Judge Murphy | and Judge Levy. Less than a year ago | Mrs. Buschel died and her husband fol- lowed her a few months later. Their | daughter, Mrs. George McNiece, took the | child into her keeping until she left for the | East last summer, when Lily answered an | advertisement for a nursegirl and so se- cured service with Mrs. Browell, who | lives on Lombard street and is a daughter of Slater, the mind-reader. g Mrs. A. Standberg has been active for months in reparation for years of seeming forgetfulness. - She called on Mrs. Mc- Niece in May, but had only a glimpse of | her child, for Lily refused to see or talk with her mother. Mrs. Standberg has made | repeated calls recently at the offices of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, asking the intervention of its authorities in order to. bring about an in- terview with her daughter. This was ac- complished for the first time yesterday. The girl, Who is neat and comely, went to the office accompanied by Mrs. Browell. She showed no feeling except fear and.aver- sion when she met her mother. Mrs. Standberg seemed to feel keenly the.girl’s | attituae, but talked to herkindly, assuring | her that when she gave papers of indenturé | to ‘the Buschels she did so because she | had not the means for her support, and that since she had a comfortable home and would goon go to Germany to enjoy it, she wished to take the girl with her. The daughter’s answer was'like a blow: “¥You left me when I was a baby.”” The mother paled a little at this, but continued to urge the child to go with her, which she steadfastly refused to do. No prediction that she would have to be a do- mestic all her life troubled Lily. *‘I would rather be a slave than go with you,” she declared. She wouid not even consent to visit the mother occasionally. . Officer Frank Holbrook asked the girl to call later in the week, when they would confer as to theappointmentof a guardian, a favor she had requested. 3 Thére was no evidence of relenting to- ward her mother, When Lily left the of- fice she walked close to her employer and averted her eyes.. She did not even vouch- safe a farewell to the disappointed woman. ——————————— A Chinese Literary Club.
