Philip Robbin, a Mendocino Rancher, in Search of His Wife—War- like Japs. Of late there has been a desire on the part of the ship-owners here to establisha board of examiners, whose duty will be to test the proficiency of captains and offi- cers sailing vessels 1n and out of San Fran- cisco.

Itis evident to your committee that the like procedure at san Francisco will be of decided advantage to its maritime and commercial in- terests. Consequently we respectinlly recommend that the honarable board of trustees of the Chamber of Commerce appoint two official ex- aminers, who shall be members of the cham. ber, to hold office at the pleasure of the board, who shall be competent in navigation, nauti- cal astronomy and practical seamanship, and anthorize them to exemine all applicants ap- plying to them for certificates of competency ; that the issuance of said_certificates shall de- pend also on proofs of sobriety, actual service and good character; that they shall be issued to American citizens proficient in the English language and of legal age; that the charge i board of trustees and a record thereof be kept stating all particulars necessary for personal identification, and the name of the teacher or navigation school from which the recipient has acquired his knowledge oi the profession; that the bureau shall be self-sus. taining and shell not in any event draw upon the Chamber of Commerce treasury; that for the convenience of supervision thé office of said bureau shall be at the Chamber of Com- merce rooms, for which a rental shall be charged; that the board of examiners meke an’ annual report to the board of t and that certificates of competency shall gned by the president or vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce ex-officio, and also by the two examiners, and shail be prepared in as permatent & form as possible; that the examiners shall have authority to revoke cer tificates on a proper and just showing of un- worthiness. these precautions and conditions we are confident that certificates of competency issued by the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco will assume a value to their holders | all over the worla, and will be of service to maritime interests represented by this cham- ber, as well as to all American ship-owners. We finally recommend that the honorable board of trustees appoint the official examiners &t their next monthly session and authorize them to enter upon their duties as soon there- after as practicable. Respectfully submitted, J. T. CHAPMAN, CHARRES NELSON, WlLLliAll L. MERRY, Committee. The Chamber of Commerce immediately appointea Captain William L. Merry and D.T. E.

In the aarli part of 1891 a chart was mailed from the Navy Department, Wash- ington, to the United States steamer Adams at Mare Island. The vessel sailed for Port Townsend before the package reached her, and it was dispawhetfto her. Again she sailed before the chart caught ber, and the roll of parchment faithfully followed the war vessel trom port to port to Sitka, through Bering Sea, and down the coast of Central America. A few days ago toat chart reached this City, still hunting the ship. During its five years of wandering over the ocean it has become ornamented with many post marks, addresses and unique inscriptions. One naval captain wrote: *“If this pack- age comes to my ship again I will heave it overpoard.” In another place somebody has written: “This chart was at Port Townsend in 1892" and “This was lost; tound and then lost again.” Another per- son, becoming weary of the ofi return of the voyaging package, has penned: “For Heaven's sake find the Adams!” Even the chart itself has been made to say: “Please find my destination. Am sea- sich and weary of travel. The Adams is at Honolula, whither the packege will be mailed to-morrow. On the 5th of next month a bell buoy }minked red will be placed on Mile Rock, in the entrance to this harbor, and thus a dangerous obstruction to navigation will be marked.

CARPENTERS AND JOINERS. Apprentices Permitted to Join the Unions at Half Rate. An imvortant meeting of the District Council of Carpenters and Jomers was held Wednesday evening. It was decided that apprentices between the ages of 18 and 21 shall be admitted into the car- penters’ unions at hali-rate initiation fee, or for $5. Heretofore the carpenters’ unions have only paid strike money to those men called out on strike because “the bosses paid less than the minimum rate, $3 for eight hours’ work. It was decided last evening to pay the strike rate of $1 a day to those called out on strike for the maintenance of all union rules. Only union men in good standing will be entitled to this considera- tion. Several carpenters were before the conn- cil on charges of having worked with non- union men. The first fine is§5. Half a dozen, rather than pay the fine, hustled around and induced the non-union men with whom they were caught working to send in their applications for membership. By this sharp move the council was prac- tically powerless to impose fines, and con- sidered it an evil wind that blows no good.’ TO BLOW HIS BRAINS OUT. Park Policeman Dows’ Threat to Os- mond G.

When The Original Ordivance Declared to Be One-Sided and Unsatis- factory. A new clement was injected yesterday into the fight that is now being made be- fore the Board of Supervisors for a new telephone franchise by the presentation of a second ordinance providing for the privilege. The ordinance originally proposed was twice sent back to the Street Committee . | for reconsideration because of matters f | contained therein that were not satisfac- tory to the members. General Friedrich, who has been urging the claims of the parties who asked thata second franchise be granted, appeared be- fore the committee and urged that the franchise be advertised for sale at once, claiming that the jokers that had been mentioned in the franchise existed only in the minds of those who were opposed to it. “I have heard a great deal about jok- ers,” said General Friearich, “‘since this company first appealed for a franchise. | The only joker that I know of is in the law itseif, requiring the Supervisors to ut franchises up for sale. It is a well- nown fact that that law was passed in the interest of the big corporations, which want to shut out competition and buy up every franchise that is put up for sale. | The joker complained of is in the clause | whicu provides that the grantee of the franchise must have at least 2000 contracts with people who are patrons of the pres- ent monopoly. That clause was inserted for the purpose of shutting out irresponsi- ble persons who will be willing to sell out to the monopoly. Itshows that we mean business and that we intend to give battle to the monopoly. The only people who can reasonably object to thatclause are | the officers of the Bell Telephone Com- any.’” The committee took the matter under | consideration, and in the afternoon lis- tened to Herman de Laguna, who said he | represented heavy capitalists who were ready to invest their money in tue telc- pnone business as soon as they could be assured that a franchise could be obtained. | He declined to give the names of the | backers of the scheme because the pub- lishing of the names might arouse ili- feeling between them and the officers and stockholders of the present company. He said that the franchise that had been pro- posed was one sided, incomplete and with- out certain legal requirements that were necessary to make it available. He declared that these points wers all covered by the company he represented. In regard to rates he stated that the people he represented would reduce the expense of teiephones in private houses to 2 a month with an unlimited number of local switches free, and the telephones to $5 a month, with 1 cent for each switch. He stated that his people were willing to spend $600,000 in establishing the system, $100,000 to be expended in the first twelve months. One hundred telephones would be given the City free and 150 after the first ten years. The matter was taken un- der consideration. A\VA: £ Sepearo, 7 W /I Mrel_E.Awene. THE MURDERER AND THE VICTIM OF HIS DEADLY RAZOR. Aweng were found in a small bedroom at 205 Seventh street last evening, at 7 o’'clock. The woman had been murdered by Shepherd, who for many months had posed as her friend and protector, and he then committed suicide, using a keen- edged razor, the same weapon with which he bad murdered Mrs. Aweng, to do the deed. . The couple had not been seen since 7 o'clock yesterday morning, and as no sound was heard coming from their apart- ments during the day the suspicions o! those occupying the upstairs rooms were aroused. Last evening M. S. Norton and Mrs. 8. Derman concluded to investigate. They entered the front door of the build- ing, but on reaching the bedroom door, at the end of the hallway, they found it locked. This being unusual, they forced the lock and were horrified at the ghastly spectacle of the double tragedy. Word was immediately sent to the Cen- tral Police Station and from there to the Coroner’s office. Deputy Coroners J. G. Tyrrell and L. McInnes went to the scene of the crime and removed the remains to the Morgue. ‘When discovered the body of the mur- dered woman was lying on the bed, her face turned slightly to the left. She was attired in her nightdress, and was proba- ble asleep when the crime was committed. A fearful gash in her throat, which nearly severed the head from the body, showed only too plainly how she had met her death. Mrs. Aweng had been an invalid for some time, and near her bed was a large bouquet of calla lilies. She turned toward the flowers, probably, just the knife severed the veins and arteries in her neck and the bouquet was EIGHT-HOUR LAW. The Painters’ Union Seeks te Get a Test Oase Before the Courts. Business Agent R. T. MclIvor of the Painters’ Union called at the office of the United States District Attorney yesterday and asked for a warrant for the arrest of the foreman of the California Paint Com- pany on a charge of violating the eight- hour law. Mclvor alleged that the vaint- ers engaged 1n putting the finishing touches on the battle-ship Oregon had been compelled to work nine hours a day or more. The law covering this point is not very clear, stipulating among other things that men m:xy be worked over eight hours if tle conditions surrounding the particular work will not admit of dejzy. District Attorney Foote is of the opin- ion that the law is not canable of enforce- ment because of its wording. He hus taken the case under advisement, how- ever, and will render an opinion in a few days. McIvor’s action is not nostile to the foreman of the nt company, but is rompted by a desire to test the eight-hour aw. — John Thiess’ Peculiar Death. John Henry Thiess of 262 Minna street died at the German Hospital yesterday from a blow on the head, received in a very peculiar way. On Monday last he was sitting in his reading & paper, when an extra he: wind blew an iron tank lid off an adjoining bouse upon Thiess' head. He was removed to the German Hospital in on unconseious condi- tion. Death ended his sufferings yesterday. o 2 Not a Biafrmore Victim.

Shepherd, the murderer and suicide, was lying on his face between the bed and the south wall of the room. He had cut his own throat in a manner more shock- ing even than he did the woman’s. ‘When an attempt was made to Ift the remains into the receiver it was found that death nhad taken place many hours before the discovery of the body. A razor was discovered clenched between the stit- fened fingers of the man. So tight was the grasp that for a time they absolutely refused vo release the death-inflicting weapon. What motive could have prompted Shepberd to commit the murder and then kill himseif? This is a mystery; but it is presumed that the murderer was tempo- rarily insane at thetime he committed the deed. Mrs. Aweng was addicted to the use of morphine in life, and as it is known that Shepherd was a spiritualist and op- posed to the use of any drug, this fact may have led to the murder. In a notebook found by the side of the murderer’s body is scrawled a note which gives strength to this theory. It reads as follows: “Blessing. Depend on God, Christ the spirits; may his will be done. God commands no morphine. Inspira- tional doctor clairvovant.” Shepherd probably went into the woman’s room and detected her in the act of taking a dose of morphine, and be- coming angered cut her throat and then his own. Shepherd often posed as Mrs, Aweng’s cousin, but it is not believed ihat any re- lationship, other than mere’ friendship. existed between them. Mrs, Aweng often went by the name of Mrs. Hader, which was her first husband’s name. He has been dead for many years. L. E. Aweng, the husband of the mur- dered woman, is at present residing in the State of Sonora, Mexico, and letter MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION Nominations Made for the An- | nual Election of Direc- 1 tors. | Plans to Be Devised for Securing the Adoption of the Propssed New ‘ Charter. | Atthe meeting of the Merchants’ Asso- ciation vesterday F.

Tempestuous Ending of the Recent Supreme Annual Session at Ukiah, A storm cloud still hovers over the Grand Court of Foresters. The troubles of the annual session, just held at Ukiah, are far from being amicably settled. In fact, it would seem now that the wrangling going on at present is very likely to end in & more or less serious division in the ranks of the Foresters. ‘“The whole trouble,” said Miss Flyun, junior past preceding officer of the Companions of the Forest, last night, “might be summed up in the words, ‘Too much Falconer.” The faction of which Falconer isthe head is respon- sible for nearly all the trouble that has arisen. The actiors of the members of tuis faction in making up slates in caucus and trying to engineer their schemes through the convention so disgusted many of the delegates that they left the conven- tion in a body. “The trouble originated in a discussion over the books of the secretary who has just reured. A majority report of the auditors passed favorably upon the secre- tary’s books. A minority report, however presented by R. N. McClennan, found fault with the manner in which the books had been kept, but made no charges of discrepancy in the accounts. The books showed that sums of money had been dis- bursed greater t: an the amount on hand. The secretary, Mrs. Roy, was_reported to have borrowed $500 from a Mrs. Boehm. All this, however, was mere rumor, yet it produced a feeling of uneasiness and dis- satisfaction amun% the delegates. The mincrity report of Mr. McClennan was re- ceived with hisses by the Falconer faction. “Many of the dissatisfied delegates had already“left the convention and the two factions were about equal in numbers. Mrs. Roy was put up for supreme chief companion by the Falconer }action and elected by a majority of one vote. After the faction had eiected the other State candidates the convention was broken up and the installation of the newly elected officers was postponed until last evening, when the State candidates were to be in- stalled at Foresters’ Hall in this City. “Most of the dissenting delegates re- mained for the ball that was given after the convention. Owing to the division and quarreling that had taken place during the session the festivities that were to close the convention ended in a fiasco. The dissenting delegates are especially in- dignantat the manner in which the people of Ukiah, who entertained them royally, have been treated. ‘‘As the matter now stands the Falconer faction has the upper hand. Those of us, however, who withdrew from the conven- tion will never go back while Mrs. Roy re- mains at the heaa of the order. 1t is quite possible that the seceding members may organize a new order entirely inde- pendent of the old.” MEDALS FOR WINES.
