Fletcher against the Board of Supervisors was called in Judge Daingerfield’s court yesterday at 10 o’clock A. M., when the injunction and writs of review and prohibition in regard to the Geary-street railroad franchise were returnable. For a time it looked asthough the prose- cution had abandoned the case, for no one appeared to argue the case in that inter- est. Attorney Van Duzer, however, agreed to inform the plaintiff's lawyers, so tEe matter went over until 2 o’clock. At that time the attorneys for the petitioner were still absent. Despite the protest of Dr. Salfield of the Richmond Improve- ment Club Attorney W. L. Brobeek of the City and County Attorney’s office, Tepre- senting the Supervisors, started to argue the demurrers entered to the complaint by the defendants. ‘The argument bad hardly got under way when Attorney Samuels appeared. He said that it had_been stipulated be- tween the City and County Attorney and Fletcher's attorneys that the Supervisors be given until August 23 to plead, and it was not supposed that the matter of the demurrers wou/d be argued before Friday, law and motion day. On this representation Judge Dainger- field put the hearing over until Thursday at 10 A. ., an important case being al- ready set for hearing on Friday. —————— George Wallenrod’s Estate.

Such, though, is the fact, as developed in the sequel, to the firebug story in last Monday’s CALL. Kum Yee Hong, the Chinese Tailors’ Union of Brenham place, has posted notices in the public streets and alleys of Chinatown, offering to pay a reward of $i000 to any enterprising highbinder who will take the life of Chun Man. He isa manufacturer of clothing, who has in- curred the wrath of his countrymen by equipping his factory with modern Ameri- can sewing machines, thus infringing upon a time-honored Chinese custom, which holds that each journeyman tailor should own and control his own machine, Chun Man thought that he could do 8 bigger business and make money faster by adopting American methods, and, in consequence, the union now earnestly desires his extermination, and, as has been stated, is willing to pay a liberal price for it. In the meantime the brave manufac- turer, conscious of his own advanced 1deas, walks defiantly around Chinatown, his breast protected by a chain shirt of mail, given him by an American merchant in token of his bravery. The Chinesedo not attach much sanctity to human life, es- pecially among themselves, but the $1000 reward offered for the head of Chun Man is conclusive proof of the hatred they bear him, as well as of the latent barbarity lurking in the nature of the Mongolian race. Two years ago Chun Man had aclothing factory at 408 Sacramento street, but now he is located at 509)¢ Washington street. He has here some seventy sewing-ma- chines, operated by electricity, the intro- duction of which originally aroused the wrath of his countrymen. They have put a price, and a liberal price, upon his head, but not satisfied with this action, they are also trying industriously to burn down his factory, and if they cannot kill him, thus drive him out of the clothing manufactur- ing business. “I notified Kum Yee Hong (the tailors’ union) of my intention to use electricity before I ordered my machines,” said Chum Man, “and was told that it would be all right. At that time eléctricity was in a factory ai 828 Dupont street and another at 631 Pacific street. “*When the machines arrived from New York the union tried to prevent me from setting them up and forbade any of their men to work for me. If they did they were assured that something dread- ful would happen to them. I said I would return the machinery if the union would In answer to a question Captain John- 7:30 in the morning. The inspector announced that owing to a rush of business he would not be able to render a decision on the case for two weeks. ———— DISCUSSING POLITICS. Andrew Sorrenson Arrested for structing the Sidewalk. Andrew Sorrenson, a real estate agent, was talking politics at the corner of Eddy and Powell streets about 7 o'clock last night, and a crowd gathered around him. Policeman M. F. Joy asked Sorrenson to mol\lr(e oun as he was obstructing the side- walk. I am only talking politics with my friend,’’ replied Sorrenson. *‘Well, you are attracting a crowd ‘and obstructing the sidewalk, so move on,” said Joy. “*All right,” said Sorrenscn. Sorrenson did not keep his word, and began to talk again, when Joy placed him under arrest and sent him to the City Prison, where he was booked on the charge of obstructing the strest. He gave $5 cash bail and was released from custody. - —————— Ob- ‘Warning to the Public, Diphtheria is now prevailing, and in most cases is caused by germs in impure drinking water.

President Wong Hurt declined to compromise upon these terms and I then appealed my case to the Chi- nese 8ix Companies. “They told me I was in a legitimate business, to go on and they would protect me. The Chinese Consal, Jeung, also said that in the event of any trouble my inter- ests would be looked after by the Wy Lung, a society for the prevention of crime. A few days later the detectives of the companies came to me at my place of business and warned me not to come into Chinatown, as notices had been posted oflerini $1000 reward to anybody who would kill me. “This notice emanated from the union and has not since been recalled. An American merchant on Battery street gave me a chain shirt of mail and I went on with my business as usual. I did not stay out of Chinatown. “In last January or February a high- binder took a contract to kill me for $1100 within three days.. He was subsequently arrested and deported to China and I am still alive. Ithad been my habit to em- pley in my factory only union men, bot a short time ago I decided to employ non- union men as well.

CLARK IS N0 LONGER CAPTAIN The Wreck of the Colombia Terminated His Career as a Navigator. HIS LICENSE REVOKED. Supervising Inspector Berming- ham Decides Clark Was Guilty of Negligence. SHOULD HAVE CAST A LEAD The Colombia’s Commander Placed Undue Cenfilence in Compasses and Faint Fog Signals. / When the steamer Colombia went crash- ing into the rocks off Pigeon Point on the morning of July 14, not only was a stately vessel doomed to become the plaything of the boisterous billows, but her commander had found in this rude landing the termin- ation of his last voyage as master. For Captain Clark will go down to sea as captain no more. Supervising Inspector Bermingham has rendered his decision as the result of the inquiry into the Colombia disaster. He finds that on the morning of the wreck Captain Clark was unskillful and negli- gent. In a navigator upon whose discre- tion human lives are staked such faults are unpardonable, and the inspector has decreed that Captain Clark’s license as master of a steamer shall be revoked. The following is Inspector Berming- ham’s decision: Captain Clark took the stand and testified that on Julf 18, a1 6:30 P. M., three miles off Point Arguello, going 133 knots, the weather being clear, he shaped his course NW. 2 W. to carry him about five miles outside of Point Sur, then 119 miles distant. About 10 o’clock the same night fog set in very thick, His steam whistle was kept sounding, and at 3:25 A. 3., July 14, he heard the fog whistle of Point sSur abeam, which he and his second officer estimated to be five miles distant. They only heard that signal two or three times. Captain Clark then altered his course to NW.}gN. and, after running thirty-three miles, heavy fog still continuing, he hauled in 35 of & point 10 NW.1{ N,, and ran on that course until he and his third officer, John Thompson who was on tbe bridge with him, heard fog whistles well on the starbosrd bow, which they again hle"? abeam at 7:40 4. ., but not very dis- tineily. These whistles they took to be from Pigeon Point, which they estimated to be four miles off abeam at that time. He then hauled in NW. by N. standard, NW. by N. ¢ N. magnetic, for the whistling buoy off San Francisco bar, and at 7:30 A. M. he heard another faint whistle on the port bow. About three or four minutes before 8 A. M. Third Officer Thompson heard two or three faint blasts of a whistle, the 1ast blast being a little the loudest, which he Teported was from a steamer about two peints off the port bow, and direetly he saw the rocks ahead and sung out to the captain, who or- dered the helm hard a-starboard. The Colom- bia at once struck,at 8 A. M, and became a wreck, about half a mile ESE. of Pigeon Point from the testimony, was not being operated full blast. The Colombia was built in 1891 at Chester, Pa., of neel—sfiw.?'lzgross, 2337.45 net tons— and was worth $425,000. Her cargo was valued at about $125,000. Captain Clark, in his written_report of the disaster to the United States Local Board of Inspectors of Steam Vessels at San Francisco, July 21, 1896, descriptive of the course steered by him on the Colombia, states that he had the fog signal at Point Sur abeam at 3:25 A. x., estimated distance five miles. In giving his testimony before the supervising inspector July 28,1896, he estimated the distance off that point to be seven or eight miles, judging from the sound of the whistle, but alloived he wag five miles off, and shaped his course NW. magnetic, as before stated,or by compass NW. alarge 4 N. It is not improbable that the compasses of the Colombia were influenced by local attrac- tion petweeh Point Arguello and Pigeon Point. It was her second trip up from Pana- ma and the first one 1n coramand of Captain Clark, who testified that, so far as he knew, the error of his compasses should have taken him off shore, but the result shows it did not. The compass course he steered from, three miles ofi Point Arguello, may have carried bim much closer to Point Sur than he esti- mated. % The difference in the coursesat from five miles off shore at PointSur to five miles off Pigeon Point, and from the same distance off Po%m. Sur to Pigeon Point (fifty-eight miles) is about onu}u-ner of & point; “but, from two and a half mi off Pigeon Point, less than one-eighth of & point northerly vyariation in his compasses woula have carried him inside Pigeon Point. Captain Clark alleges that he was carried in shore by what he termed an ‘‘inset,” that is to say, & current running inshore across his course. If this were 50, there must have been at the time a movement of the waters there- apouts that did not exist seven or eight hours reviously,when the steamer Santa Rosa passed I’n that locality. Captain E. Alexander, who was in command of the Santa Rosa, testified in this case as to his long experience in currents and fog whistles in that vicinity. He passed Point Sur four miles off, in the same dense fog exver- fenced by Captain Clark, at 8:15 P. ). the pre- vious dg and shaped his course N. 41 deg. W, (N .) and_ made Pigeon Point whistle abeam, estimated distance four miles, 4t 1:25 A. . The correctness of his estimated distances from those points were verified by his subsequent movements. It is clear Captain Clark relied too much on the accuracy of his compasses. A more skill- ful master would have got a cast of his lead after crossing the mouth of Monterey Bay, before shaping his course during a dense fog for the whistiing buoy off San Francisco bar. A castof the lead atany time after7 A. x. would have pointed out the error of his judg. ment as Yo his distance off shore. = Hedid not use the lead, rather preferring to be guided pvrvovod unreliable sounds from fog ‘hat was the result? He, ides jeopardizing the lives of those on board his ship, drove her at full speed to her destruc- tion on the rocks. Posaibly the fog whistles at Point Ano Nuevo and Pigeon Point wer2 not going full blast about that time, and so deceived them as to theirdistance. But that s poor consolation for his owners, or others inierested. anager Schwerin of the P. M. 8. 8. Co. testified that he had given Captain Clark imperative instruc- tions to take no og, and said to him that it was very much e: to find the bottom with the lead than with the ship’s keel, which Captain Clark will now concede to be a truism. After carefvl consideration of the lomfolng the Supervising Inspector is of.the opinion that Captain W. A. Ciark did, on the morning of July 14, 1896, negligently and unskillfully navigate the steamer Colombia, then under his command, by hugging the shore and causing her wreck near Pigeou Point, Califor- nie, without getting a cast of lead, all the while going at full speed in a dense fog, con- trary to tue provizions of rule 21, section 42383, United States Revised Statutes, which rrovldel that every steam vessel shall, when n & fog, go at & moderate 5 For such negligence and unskillfulness and violation of said rule 21 on the part of said ‘W.

A communication, dated August 2, criti. cizing the Boara of Supervisors for not granting the Board of Health more money to conduct its department was filed yes- terday with Secretary Russell. The writer, Isador Jacobs, who signs himself as secretary of the California Canneries Company, is apparently ignor- ant of the fact that at a meeting of the Supervisors on the 3d inst. the Health | Department appropriation Was raised lighthouse and fog signal, which, it appears | at the instance of Supervisor Spreckels about $9000 over the sum originally fixed, and therefore his assumption contained in the letter that “apparently the public bealth does not count with the Board of Supervisors” would seem to be uncalled for, particularly as Mr. Jacobs has not the ightest connection, in an official way, with the Board of Health, though he often appears at the office to urge investi- gations of Eastern fruit products that are sold in this market.
