NEWS OF THE WATER FRONT. Splendid Work of the Co- quille Life-Saving Crew. FOUR VESSELS RESCUED. The Stanch Steamer Point Arena Repaired and Again on Duty, ROWING CLUBS HARD AT WORK Luck of the Sealers on the Japanese Coast—New Surf Boats for the Stations. The Coquille life-saving station at Ban- don on the coast of Oregon should have an added title—that of *‘Ship-saving sta- tion.” During the last twelve or fourteen months that crew have not only been in active service rescuing human lives, but they have saved four vessels that went aground on the river bar. On September 23 of last year the tug Katie O'Nea! went ashore hard and fast. Captain Alexander Scott of the station manned the surfboat Bebbie McLellan and put out to the imperiled vessel. She was fast settling in the sand, but the life-sav- ing people took charge of the work of get- ting her afloat and carried strong lines ashore, It was an almost hopeless labor, but they were finally successful, and the tug was dragged into deep water. She was valued at $15,000 and had a cargo worth §1000. January 22, 1896, the schooner Lila and Mattie, valued at $12,000 and carrying a $1500 cargo, went ashore on the Coquille River bar. Captain Scott again took charge of the work of rescuing her, and | with his crew labored almost night and day till February 9 before he pull:d her out of the sand. So deeply was she im- bedded that her owners gave her up, but the life-saving crew kept at the work. Their lines often parted, and twice the ves- sel drifted ashore again after having been pulled off into deep water. However, on the eighteenth day of their constant la- bors the schooner was towed into safe moorings. May 4, 1896, the steamer Moro went on the bar while entering the river and stuck hard and fast. Her owners despaired of saving her, but the life-saving crew under- took the job of floating her, and eventually succeeded. Her value was $16,000, with a cargo worth $800. On August 23, 1895, the life-saving crew went to the wreck of the big steamer Bawnmore, lying on the beach eighteen miles south of the station. They of course could not save the huge nulk stuck hard on the rocks, but they remained in the lo- cality for several weeks saving property from the stranded vessel and guardingit on the beach. Major Blakney of the life-saving service in this City has called the attention of his superiors in Washington to the excellent work of the Coquille lifeboat crew. Being in the Government employ, they get no salvage, or, in fact, any reward for their labors except the gratitude of those they serve so faitbfully and well. It is to be hoped that this “banner crew” will re- ceive the official recognition they merit. The stanch little steamer Point Arena, which recently drifted on the rocks at the port of the same name, has been repaired and refittea and is again on her run. Con- sidering that she rolled into the heavy breakers with a towline around her pro- peller, was rescued and dra%ged for sev- eral hundred miles at sea lying on her beam ends, was docked and repaired and made ready for duty within a compara- tively short time, she may be said to have as many lives as a cat. The boat clubs are hard at work prac- ticing for the coming races to come off the 20th of this month. Besides the City rowing clubs Alameda and Stockton will enter crews. The Olympic Atnletic Club and the League of the Cross will send boats to El Campo to compete for trophies. George W. Kneass of 718 Third street has just completed two beautiful suri- boats, one for Yaquina Bay and the other for the Golden Gate station. They are self-bailing, self-righting and fitted with all modern improvements. From reports it is learned what the seal- ing fleet in Japanese waters are doing in their bunt for the costly pelts.

Dectectives Seymour and Whittaker Left Last Night With the Warrants. No time has been lost in getting the necessary papers ready for the extradition of Charles Becker and James Creegan, the two forgers arrested in Newark, N. J., ‘Wednesday morning for the $22,000 for- gery on the Nevada Bank last December. Detective Ross Whittaker left for Sacra- me nto yesterday morning with the papers and procured the signature of Governor Budd to the warrants for the extradition of the two forgers. Detective Seymour left by last evening’s train for Newark and will be joined at Sacramento by Whit~ taker, who will accompany him East. Captain Lees said yesterday that he had nothing new to communicate in regard to suffering from internal | and went to Providence, the arrest of the two men. Their exami- nation will be held at Newark next Wednesday, and by that time Seymour and Whittaker will be on hand with the extradition papers. If Becker and Cree- gan should fight their extradition the de- tectives were armed with sufficient evi- dence to have them remanded. What the evidence 1s the captain de- clined to say on the ground that he had no desire to expose his hand to the other side. At the proper time the facts would be made known. Some further particulars about Becker's career will be found interesting. He was beard from in July, 1894, in connection with_Richard Lennox, Joe English and Bob Beaumann, three expert forgers and check raisers. They began operationsin 1892 at Minneapolis and worked in Duluth and St. Joseph. They became alarmed and weat to Europe and remained there until the fall of 1893 when they returned R. L, where they raised two checks of $14 and §18 to $1400 The Wrecked Steamer Point Arena, Reraired, Refiitted [Sketched by a “Call™ artist.] and Again on Duty, and $1800 and passed them on the Indus- | trial Trust Company and the Merchants’ | National Bank. Their custom was to remain in a place | just long enough to raise and pass two or | three checks, and being successiul in Prov- | 1dence they went to Boston, thence to | Buffalo, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Phila- | delphia and Milwaukee, where they were | driven out of the town. They fled to | Albany, N. Y., where Becker and Englis left Lennox and Beaumann and went toward Boston. Lennox was arrested at Newark, N. J., on July 20, 1834, but Beau- | mann got away. ennox was finally turned over to the Milwaukee authorities on a charge of forgery, and a dozen other | cities wanted him at the time. | This gang erased the safety water lines | on the checks by the use of chemicals and drew in new ones with steel pens aud blocked in perforated fignres by beveling out spaces for them and fastening the new figures with a cement made of the white of | eggs. ] o o e o THE MARINE DRAMA. Sufferings of the Crew of the Republic Re-enacted at Sutro Baths. The story of suffering and dreadful ex- veriences which the crew of the burned ship Republic underwent, and which was told in THE CALL of April 25 last, will be gone over and graphically depicted at Sutro Baths next Saturday afternoon and evening for the benefit of the saved sea- men. The Republic, and also the Hollinwood, | which saved the men, will be represented | afloat in the large tank of the baths, fully | rigged and manned, just as they were at the time the Republic was deserted. The whole of the experiences of the fearful ten days and nights after the fire was discov- | ered and before the Hollinwood was sigh ed will be fally represented, and the re- ceipts of the day and evening will be e tirely for the poor men who barely caped with their lives. The scene will | begin when the fire was first discovered; | thin spiral columns of smoke wili be seen | creeping from the fore hatch; the crew | will man the pumps and fight the flames, | which will, nevertheless, gain steadily | upon them in spite of all. ’ The fore and main hatches will be blown | off, and everybody on board forced to go | aft. The Hollinwood will be sighted and sig- | naled to stand by; the explosionsbecome l | more and more frequent, until finally the foremast goes by the board; the fire con- tinues to gain headway, the captain of the Republic decides to abandon his ship and | signals the Hollinwood to that effect; the | lifeboats are manned and the work of ‘ rescue completed. The men are grateful to Mayor Sutro for his offer of a benefit for them, and are entering heartily into the spirit of tie affair. The evening performance will appear to | particular advantage; for the great build- ing will be darkened, and the light of the burning vessel will cast a glare over the | water and add greatly to the realism. | ‘GRANT PEDESTAL AS RE-CREATED, The Statue Will Rest on| Granite Carved by Free Men. CONVICT WORK NO MORE Patriotic Sentiment Awakened by “The Call” Proves All Powerful. UNION VETERANS IN LINE. Demand for a Full Public Accounting of All Contributions to the Monument Fund. The managers of the Grant monument have decided that the Golden Gate Park statue of the preat leader of the Union armies shall rest on a pedestal of granite | carved by free men. The authentic intelligence published ex- clusively in Tne CaLL of Wednesday to the effect that the pedestal of the monu- ment had b quarried and dressed by the convicts of Folsom State prison created widespread comment and evoked | rany expressions of regret ‘that the man- | agers of the nonument fund bad not em- | ployed the labor of free and honest work- ingmen in the enterprise. The more the subject wae discussed the stronger be- came the conviction that the prison-carved material should be ejected and other granite substituted. Accordingly on Wednesday evening it | was decided to cast the prison stone aside | and putin other material. In pursuance | of this decision orders were given at the | esterday morning to remove the ob- | jectionable granite base from the site, and | to abandon work at Folsom on the stone | coping designed to surround the monu- | Miss ELLIOTT, LEADING LADY OF THE FRAWLEY COMPANY. The members of the Frawley Company, which opens at the Columbia Theater on June 1, have arrived in this City. Considerable interest centers in the new4 leading lady, Maxime Elliott, the Oakland girl, who has been playing important roles | in Augustin Daly’s company. Miss Elliott left the Daly troupe to become leading lady in the Frawley Com- pany. In the East she was considered one of the professional beauties of the stage. The Frawleys have been largely recruited from the Daly Company, for, in addition to Maxime Elliott, their ranks include Frank Worthing and Tyrone Powers. | With the Frawleys are also: F. C. Thomp- son, Phosa MecAllister, George W. Leslie, Thomas Phillips, Hope Ross, Walter Clarke Bellows, Maclyn Arbuckle, Wilson Enos, H. 8. Duffield, Lansing Rowan, Charles Wyngate, George Bosworth, Mar- garet Craven and Blanche L. Bates. ment plat. This course on the part of the Monument Association will be com- mended. In a desire to exercise the great- est economy with the funds remaining at their disposal, they sought cheap material; but when they reflecied that sentiment, and especially patriotic sentiment, has a great influence on the American mind, they readily respected the noble sentiments here involved. It is a mistake to subpose that Eugene Wiegand at_department headquarters of the G. A. R. reflects the ideas of many Union veterans when he says ‘‘the affair is really of little moment.” One comrade gives expression to this opinion: “‘Comrade Wiegand draws a salary of among his papers was found a bankbook which evidenced the deposit of some $12,000 in the An-lo-California Bank. 1t is true that Governor Stanford’s subserip- tion of $5000 and other large amounts by Fair, Flood and Louis Sloss of the Alaska Commercial Company, which were made on the representation that a great monu- ment would beerected, have not been paid. Since it has been decided to simply place a statue in the park the surviving sub- scribers have only been requested to pay a small proportion of the amounts which they originally subscribed. Itis held to be due to the subscribers who have paid that their names should be known. The publication of the state- ment might disclose the fact that some subscribers haye paid whose names have not been entered on the roll of paid sub- scriptions. Since so many members of the executive committtee have passed away, and so many of the books and ac- counts have been mislaid or lost, an ac- curate statement might be very difficult to obtain, but the most explicit account that can be made should be now rendered. FIGRT WITH A BURGLAR Frank Ross, Alias Ha'l, Draws a Knife Upon Policeman John Hill Ross, While in the City Prison, Helped Murderer Fredericks in His Attempt to Escape. One of the burglars who broke into the | residence of August Schmidt, 1719 Bu- chanan street, on the night of .\Iny‘.’, chloroformed Mr. Schmidt, who was asleep in bed, and got away with a lot of valuable jewelry and other articles, is now behing the bars charged with burglary. He is Frank Ross, alias John Hall, a desperate character. Entrance was effected to the Schmidt | residence by forcing the kitchen door. | Mr. Schmidt was the only member of the | fawily in the house at the time and he | bad retired to bed. The others had gone JOHN HALL, ALIAS ROSS. $75 or $100 8 month for serving the Grand Army at department headquarters. No doubt this work couid be performed by some convict from Folsom priton for $20 a month, but in the Grand Army there is a patriotic sentiment in favor of giving em- ployment to worthy comrades at a fair compensation, and within the scope of that sentiment Comrade Wiegand holds the job. If he should be supplanted, even by a convicted comrade, there would be danger of another rebellion in this country.”’ W. J. Ruddick, a well-known and active Grand Army man, said yesterday : “It is due to the memory of General t that the monument in Golden Gate should represent the work of free men. I think Colonel Fred Grant ex- pressed the idea when he said to a New York committee of workers that his father was a Union man. Thisis a sentiment, I Par! | admit, but it is a noble and patriotic senti- ment, and one whiéh the people of San Francisco respect. The workmanship of tbe convicts may be equal in all respects to that which the labor of free men would give. The monument built by prison labor might be beautiful, graceful and im- posing, but the knowledge that it was prison work would be associated with the enterprise. In Caliiornia and other States the laws provide that convict labor shall not be emploved on public buildings. Here is a sentiment of respect for the dig- nity and worth of free workingmen en- acted into law. “The intelligent, law-abiding working- man is sought to be protected from unfair competition, as a matter of right end jus- tice, but apart from ‘"that there is a senti- ment that his labor should not be de- graded by having convicts his competitors in the field of industry. Sentiment plays a great part in the affairs of human life, and in this country sentiments connected with the memory of Grant, Lincoln and other great heroes are sacred. “In the completion of this monument, it is not fitting that any individual, any society or any newspaper should be adver- tised. The work should be completed by public-spirited citizens and should repre- sent San Francisco's tribute to the momory of Grant.” General R. H. Warfield is decidedly of the opinion that the monument should not represent the labor of criminals. He believes that all of the work should be done by free men. Colone! J. C. Currier said: ““If I were go- ing to have a gift made to express senti- ments of esteem and kindness for a friend, of course I would not go to a Chinaman for the workmanship. Taking a senti- mer.tal view of the subject, I say a mis- take was made in employing convict labor on the Grant monument.’’ J. J. Scoville, another Union veteran, thus expresses his opinion: “The monu- ment to our greatest soldier should be made by free labor.” General W. H. Pratt remarked that the sentiment for the employment of free la- bor on the monument was worthy of all respect. > In Grand Army circles and outside the feeling is almost universal that tne work- manship of conviets should not be repre- sented in the monument. George A. Knight said: *'I respect the sentiment that the monument should rep- resent the work of free men and I say that the sentiment st.ould be enforced.” The suggestion now that a newspusper should chip in to get some cheap glory out of the mistake of the monument com- mittee is not acceptable to the public. It is suggested that the managers of the monument can safely rely on the public spirit and patriotism of San Francisco to carry out the enterprise in & proper and becoming manner. That was the original spirit of the plan. ‘While the present managers are not blamed for the failure to collect the vast sums subscribed they will not encounter apy difficulty in obtaining the means ne- cessary to finish the work. Sooner or later public sentiment will de- mand that the surviving members of the old executive committee of the Grant Monument Association should furnish for pablication a list, so far ascan be ascer- tained, of all subscribers to the morument fund, of the amount subscribed, and of the amount actually collected,- together with an account of all disbursements. For some time after the death of A. J. Bryant it was not known definitely that there was any money in the fund, but to a party, and Eugene Schmidt, on re- turning shortly after, 10 o'clock, was sur- prised to find the gas blazing in all the rooms. The tips had been removed from the gas jets and the gas flames were dan- gerously near the woodwork, the evident intention of the burglars being to set the place on fire. Hesucceeded with difficulty in rousing his father, who was so dazed for a long time afterward that it was sup- | posed he must have been chloroformed. Every room in the house had been ran- sacked and all the jewelry belonging to the women of the household and other | articles had been stolen, including a purse | containing a considerable sum of money, and a silk handkerchief having in one corner a picture of Eugene Schmidt. The police were notified and Detective Harper and Policeman Jobn Hill were de- tailed on the case. They found that some of the stolen property had been sold to a dealer on Folsom street, from whom they i obtained a description that satisfied them jone of the men was Ross. Hill | tracked Ross to a house on Howard street Wednesday night, and arrested him after a desperate struggle. Ro3s drew a knife and attempted to stab the officer, who closed with him and disarmed him. Hill had to tap him on the head with his club before he could get the handcuffs on him. When Ross was searched at the City Prison a portion of the property stolen from the Schmidt residence was found in his pocket, including Eugene Schmidt’'s silk handkerchief with his picture in the corner. Ross is 25 years of age and a native of Mexico. On October 19, 1894, he was sen- tenced to six months for petty larceny. He was made a “trusty” in the City Prison. It was while Ross was on duty that Wil- liam Fredericks, the murderer of Bank Cashjer Herrick, attempted to escape from the City Prison, and with an iron bar made a murderous assault upon Corporal Par- rotte, who had just passed his cell when Fredericks slipped behind him and at- tacked him. Parrotte was knocked down and Fredericks grabbed what he thought was the key to the entrance door and ran along the corridor. Sergeant Shields fired a shot at him which had the effect of making him throw up his hands. A careful investigation was made as to how Fredericks got out of bis celi, and the Isolice were forced to the conclusion that Ross, who had charge of the keys of the cells, had unlocked thedoor of Fredericks’ cell and let him into the blanket-room ad- iflining, where he lay in wait for Parrotte. t was afterward learned that Fredericks bad induced Ross to help him to escape, and while Fredericks attended to Parrotte Ross was to slip up bebind Sergeant Shielas and knock him down as Fredericks made his rush for the door. Ross “funked” at the last moment. Ross was immediately transferrea to the House of Correction. ———— Broker McKee Fails. L. H. F. McKee, a Pine-street stockbroker, failed yesterday alternoon. McKee was at one time & clerk in the employ of his stepfather, William Edwards, but went_into business for himself opposite the Stock Exchange on Pine street. The amount involved in his failure could not be ascertained, but it is thought that it does not amount to much, as_the nature of his dealings wes on a limited scale. NEW TO-LAY—AMUSEMENTS.
