CAPTAIN CAREY HAPPY Says He Has Discovered a New - Course and Will Follow It in Future. 2 A HEAVY STORM ENCOUNTERED It Confined Purser Bendall to His Room for Nearly Twelve Hours. . The Oceanic Steamship Company's Monawai redeemed herself yesterday. Since she, has been on the run between Bydney, N. 8. W., and San Francisco the fore, be one of . the largest vessels coming to this vort. E “The Union Steamship “Company is branching out,” said Chief Engineer Mc- Kaig yesterday. “It has bought a cargo- boat and has a new onz on the stocks. A twenty-knot boat is being buils to run be- tween Onehemga and Wellington, to carry our mails, and another fast boat is being constructed to run between Auckland and Sydney. Then there is the eighteen-knot boat for the San Francisco trade, so, you see, the concern is holding its own. The Monowai is a splendid ship, but, unfor- tunately (with a sigh), we can’t make time with her.” k Chief McKaig has been in the employ of the company for a great many years. When in latitude 11 51 south, longitude 170 50 west, the Monowai spoke the British ship Morialta, The latter left here for Mel- bourne on June 7 with a load of lumber, doors, iron, steel, nails, whale oil and gen- eral merchandise. She signaled her num- ber and then hoisted thie flags C. Q. V. 8. On reference to the register these letters read: “Ship (or vessel indicated) is very cranky.” The Morialta was loaded here by J. J. Moore & Co.,and was considered safe and sound whean she left port. The chief officer of the Monowai thinks there wasa mistake made in the signalling and that the first flag should have been a red instead of a white one. Frank Burton, “the hustler” who is makineg his way round the world on what he can earn, is having a hard time of it in Sydney. The newspaper boys here got him a passage to Australia, but there was no glad hand for him in the colonies. He attempted to get away to China on the steamer Tai Yuan, but was put ashore and had to await another chance. . Unless for- tune favors him he has no chance of get- ting back to Chicago on schedule time. Broke Aboard. PURSER BENJODHELIL. Nevertheless She Made Carey and Chief Enginecer McKaig Are Jubilant. general result has been—twenty-four hours late. On this occasiop, however, the standard time, so religiously maintained by the Alameda and Mariposa, was nearly equaled, and Captain Carey and Chief En- gineer McKaig assert that.they could have broken the recora had it not been for a heavy northwest gale which the vessel encountered between Bydney and Auck- land. SN The ludicrous portion of that trip was the fact that Purser Bendall was confined to his room for twelve hours and nad not | a morsel 10 eat, owing to the fact that the | heavy weather kept the port hurricane- deck constantly under water. Bendall | | apd most powerful corporation in the still weighs 220 pounds, however. Among the many Australian skippers | who come to San Francisco Captain M. | Carey easily ranks as one of the most popular. He was born in Killarney, but in 1835 he was sailing out of New Bedford in & whaler. He did not like the life, and | when the vessel put in at the Bay of | Islands for water he managed to miss her | when she again put to sea. He then tried farming, but could not make a success of it, and in 1859 he was third officer of one of the Intercolonial Royal Mail Company’s steamers. A year !ater he hoisted the Union Steamsnip Company’s flag on the steamer Wellington, and has stayed with that concern until it is now the biggest southern seas. Thifl is one of the last trips the Monowai will make to San Fraucisco. Chief En- gineer McKaig can get more out of her en- gines than any man living, out, owing to her poor model, no speed, except under the most favorable circumstances, can be got out of her. The company expects to put a new vessel on the line about the end | of the year and if she cannot average seventeen knotsan hour on a twenty-one- days’ run she will not be accepted. She will be 4500 tons burden and will, ‘there- The cabin passengers by the Monowai were: From Sydney—Colonel G. W. Bell, Dr. K. Vogelsang, Rev. Charles Furnival, Professor P. £.

Henry Lefkovitch, a newsboy, appeared be- fore Judge Low yesterday to answer a charge of violating the transfer ordinance. About twelve other newsboys waited upon Attorney Kelly, who represents the Market-street Cable Railway Company, and promised if Lefkovitch wasnot punished they would notattempt to sell any more trensfer tickets, They accompanied Kelly into court and rcpeated the promise to the Judge. Lefkovitch pleaded guilty, and the Judge relessed him for thirty days his own recognizance. . Horrr's Sehvol for Boys, Burlingame. Sixth year begins Aug.4. Ire G. Hoitt, Ph.D,, Master* WORDEN HAS ACTIVE FRIENDS, Another Determined Effort to Be Made to Save His Life. WILL ASK A REHEARING Harry Knox the Moving Spirit in the Cause of the Doomed Man. SERIOUS CHARGES IMPLIED. The Convicted Man’s Defense Said to Have Been Virtually Neglected, 8. D, Worden’s life is not to be a forfeit to the law without one more determined effort on the part of his friends to save him from the gallows. “Already a movement is on foot to secure him a rehearing before the Supreme Court withi the ultimate object of obtaining a new trial. No one has taken a closer interest in the whole matter than Harry Knox, who was the president of the Sacramento Lodge of the American Railway Union during the big strike of 1894, and of which lodge Wor- den was a member at the time of the wrecking of the train on which Engineer Clark lost his life. He says he now feels it a duty to Worden and to the order of which he is still a member, to eventually prove the innocence of Worden. When seen at his home at 223 Ninth avenue yesterday he spoke most feelingly of the situation of the condemned man. ‘“While Worden was being tried at ‘Woodland,” he said, *“I knew he was not ably defended. He had a very poor attor- ney, one who, he told me, Carroll Cook, one of his prosecutors, had picked out for him, after General Hart had withdrawn from his case. “To my personal knowledge the South- ern Pacific detectives furnished him whisky all the time during the prelimin- ary examination and while he was in jail, and thus virtually made a mad man of him, for he was insane much of that time. I believe that if the proper stepsare taken he can get arebearing, and Iam sure he will be acquitted on a new trial, as he was convicted more on the way he acted during the trial at Woodland than on the evidence against him. His abusive treat- ment of the Judge and his whole peculiar actions were due to the whisky supplied hime by the Southern Pacific detectives. I know that young Sherburne’s testi- mony was false, so far as he says that they didn’t zet back to Sacramento till 3 o’clock, as Worden was in the mediation commit- tee's room aslesp on the bed about 1:20 or 1:30 that afternoon, and I know it would ‘be impossible for them to drive the dis- The >teamer Monowai Was Caught in a.Gale Between Sydney and Auckland, and Purser Bendell Was.

[ feel confident that if we can get a new trial Worden will be acquitted simply by being properly defended, as the others who were tried for the same offense were acquitted on the same evidence that resulted in the conviction of Worden. Hatch and Appleman were acquitted be- -cause they were defended in an able man- ner and Worden was noi. In the. cases of these two men the facts concerning their done that was possible to do to makea fair defense. In Worden's case it was the opposite. “I had a good deal of valuable evidence that I conveyed to_his attorney, but the latter refused to use it. “No effort will be skgared to save Wor- den’s life,’’ conciuded Knox, with a deter- | mined shake of the head. Attorney George W. Monteith confirmed the statements and charges made by Knox in a most emphatic manner. “In regard to the decision of the Su- preme Court,” he began, *'I cannot give an intelhgent opinion upon 1: until I have read the whole decision, but from what I can gather from the newspapers the-case turns more upon the failure ot the defense to take exception to certain evidence, which, of course, amounts to nothing. “I had occasion a few weeks .fio 10 ex- amine the records in the case hastily on the briefs, and it seemed to me as though the case was not half presented. The Su- preme Court uimnl{ Aacts upon waat is pre- sented to it, and if countel faits to prop- erly present the case they should not blame the Supreme Court if they do not succeed. ‘From what I have seen I am satisfied that il 2 prdper :gp&mfion is made the Supreme Court will grant & rehearing, [ would have appeared as amicus curiz And presented a proposition thatseemed to me sufficient to secure a reversal, but when I looked at the record it was too late to do anything, as the case had be¢n submitted. aiibis were brought out and everything | “I have been requested to appear foa a rehearing in the case and have that matter now under consideration at the present time. If there is any way to secure it it will be secured. ‘‘Aside from the case as it stands in the Supreme Court, I sm perfectly satisfied personally that Worden is an innocent man. Idonot believe that he had any- thing to do with the wrecking of that train. We went all over the evidence in the strikers’ case, and I have heard the statements of witnesses under oath. In- deed, we developed some facts in that case, in truth, a great ‘many, that were not brought out at all in the Worden trial. “I have no hesitation 1n saying that I do not believe that he received the fifth part of a defense. The prosecution was represented by a half dozen able attorneys, supplemented by a borde of Southern Pa- cific detectives and actively assisted by a lot of Southern Pacific perjurers. “In the Worden case one of the impor- tant facts was omitted irom the evidence. It would undoubtedly have made a va difference in the case. In the strikers’ case I elicited from the boy Sherburne the startling admission that after the trip he claimed to have made with W rden K'om Sacramento to Woodland and return he took another trip over exactly the same round with two Southern Pacific detect~ ives. According to his story, told in Woodland, they started at about 10 o’clock in the forencon with five or six men in the wagon, drove to the trestle, did the work and then drove almost to Wood- land and back to Sacramento, arriving in Sacramento about 3 o'ciock. He then stated on cross-examinafion that he took that same tired team that had travelea forty-four miles, and in company with two Southern Pacific detectives that same afternoon retraced the same trip. The proposition was manifestly absurd, but was important because it located the time and circumstances under which the boy’s story could have been arranged. “Then. in the next vplace, the case against Worden depended upon the rail- road’s ability to prove that dynamite was used to wreck the bridge. In ihe strikers’ case this theory was utterly destroyed. The bent of the trest’e that was wrecked simply showed cracks in the timbers run- ning their full length, caused undoubtedly by the fe'l of the train upon them and the presence of the iron pins which acted as wedges. “Had dynamite been used the timbers would not have been cracked but shat- tered. “The alibi of Worden was proved by three or four credible witnesses. Besides all this we have the written confession of the man who did the work, substantiated and corroborated. ‘‘Had all these matters been shown in the defense of Worden as they were shown in the strikers’ case he would have been promptly acquitted. But it must be borne in mind that these facts were not before the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court passes simply upon questions of law that were the subject of appeal. *I repeat that I firmly believe the man to be innocent, and that he is deserving of a strong effort in his behalf to save his lite. We are trying to arrange now to see if something caunot be done to help him.” RESCINDED THEIR ACTION Supervisors Make Amends to the Members of the Finance Committee. Municipal Appropriations Will Not Be Considered Except in the Regular Way. The majority in the Board of Super- visors took the back track yesterday on the question of fixing the municipal ap- propriation for the coming fiscal year and made amends for the :insuit offered the Finance Committee on Monday last. At the request of a number of the mem- bers the Mayor called a special meeting and eight representatives of the various ‘wards showed up when Mr. Sutro rapped for order. The absentees were Messrs, King, vimond, Taylor and Hobbs. When the meeting had been called together Supervisor Hughes, who was not present when Supervisor Wagner’s insult to the Finance Committee was indorsed by a majority of the members, arose and explained ihe reason for the mweeting. He stated that the previous action of the board had evidently been taken under a misapprebension, and that it was a palpable insult to the Finance Committee that should be apologized for and reme- died at the eazliest opportunity. He said that in former years resolutions had been passed calling meetings of the committee of the whole to meet with the Finance Committee to fix the appropri- ations, but that no effort had been made to usurp the functions of the Finarce Com- mittee, the idea being to allow the various Supervisors to gain an idea of the appro- priations so that they could act intelli- gently when the Finance Committee, which had worked up all of the necessary figures, reported. - In the present case the reading of the resolution had been altogether mislead- ing and probably not what its author really intended. e moved that the reso- lution be rescinded. When the matter was put to a vote there were no dissenting voices, and the matter stands as though :l:le committee of the whole had never been led. EXHIBITION AND BALL.

EQUALIZERS DISAGREE. The State Board Objscts to the Reduction of Thirty Per Cent. SIEBE STANDS TO HIS GUNS. Changes In Vaiuations Declared to Be Legal, and Broderick Has Not Y.t Decided. There is a prospect that the property- owners in the district south of the park will be disappointed regarding the 30 per cent horizontal reduction made i the valuation of their holdings by the County Board of Equalization. While tlLe poard was in session about 150 protests were received, stating that the Assessor had placed the valuations altogether too high and asking the board to reduce them. Deputy Assessor Herzer appeared before the board and stated that the Assessor had diseovered that he had made a mistake in the valuation and that he woutd be per- fectly willing, in fact requested a reduc- tion of 30 per cent. The property involved carries a valua- tion of nearly $500,000, so that the reduc- tion cuts quite a figure in the City’s revenue, Auditor Broderick received the follow- ing communication régarding the reduc- tion from the State Board of Equalization | yesterday : Hon. William Broderick, Auditor, San Fran- cisco, Cal.—DEAR’ Sik: The State Board of Equalization respectiully calls your attention 10 a recent action of the Board of Supervisors, acting as » Board of Equalization for the City and County of San Francisco, in whicn they made a horizontal reduction of value of prop- erty in a certain district, and which they con- sider an ilicgal act of said board under sections 3674 and 3675 of the Political Code. The Supreme Court of this State nas decided, and we quote 61 Caliioruia, page 54, and 44 Californta, page 616, that the Auditor is to disregard any illegal action of the county board, and if you feel satistied as to the ille- gality of such action it is the opinion of this board that it is your duty 10 disregard said changes on the assessment books. You might consult with your City and County Attorney in regard to the matter. Respectfuily yours, CHARLES M. COGLAN, Clerk State Board of Equalization. Owing to the strain of the work of the Election Commission Mr. Rroderick has not yet been able to look into the matter but will give it his attention at an early date, The Assessor’s office will fight any change in south of the park assessments, Deputy Herzer said yesterday that tne reduction asked by Mr. Siebe had only been requested after careful investigation and that the Assessor had acted clearly within his legal right in asking the re- duction. Tie fact what 150 property-owners had asked for an equalization made the con- sideration of the matter legal and gave the board the right to equalize the entire dastrict.
