8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER S, 189s. GIVES CHASE T0 POACHING CRAFT Steamer Pacheco L\,aves San Diego in Quest of Trespassers. Sent to Capture Vessels at the Guano Islands Off- the Mexican Coast. SEEKS FOR EIGHT OFFENDERS. Concessionaires Attempt to Enforcs the Payment of Large Royalties. SAN DIEGO, Car., Nov. 7.—The steamer Pacheco, which sailed from here Wednesday night, ostensibly on its regu- lsr trip to San Quintin and w: Lower California, now sai on a chase er eight guano-poaching schooners which are believed to be pathered in Vizcaino Bay. These craft are the junk Acme, Captain Chase, and the Pekin, Captain Moodlin; theschooners Ellen, Captain Jinsen; Wahlberg, Cap- Hongkong, Captain lorn- n Farwell; Sailor Boy, Captain Edwardson, and Ida, Captain Atwood. Most of these schooners sailed from this port the latter part of October and are now probably at the Guano Islands. These islands are abont 350 mi'es south of | San Diego. All of them were formerly covered with guano and have kept a fleet of smali crait busy carrying the fertilizer to this port. The deposits are owned by the Mexican Land and Colonization Com- pany, which has a concession from the Government for all the fisheries and de- posits on the peninsula coast. The com- pany claims a royaity of $2 per ton and the Ensenada customs officials impose port charges of about $70 on each schooner. pers say this is too much to make the business profitable, and thereiore they run down and get the guano and bring it to San Diego without stopping to visit the Ensenada officials or to render an account to the company. When O. Creweread assumed the management of the company a few weeks ago he served notice on the guano-poach- ers that they would be prosecuted for further encroachments on 'the company’s preserves. The present trip of the Pacheco is for the y hose of apprehendiny the | schooner Last vear the Pacheco made a similar trip and overtook the schooner Pekin at San Martin Island, Two boys | were on the island gatnering guano and another on the schooner. he schooner got away, but the steamer captured the boys on tbe island, together with 900 | sacks of guano. Tue boys, Wilbur Dane and William Forest, are now serving a sentence of eighteen months in the En- senada jail. WIELDING RODS O STOW LAKE Second Annual Tournament of the Fly-Casting Club. Champion Harry Golcher Failed to Reach the Record Distance, The San Francisco Fly-casting Club held its annual tournament yesterday at Stowe Lake, and a more perfect day for fly-casting could not be desired. In the forenoon, while the long-distance casting contest was in progress, a sharp wind was blowing from the northeast. It greatly interfered with the casters who were unable to cast a straight line against it. H.C. Golcher, the champion long- distance of America, tried hard to equal his record ot 103 feet, but he failed by 14 feet. After the contests were over he took to the platform again, and although the wind favored him somewhat he was un- able to cover more than 99 feet, which igat was, however, loudly applanded. Henry Skinner, who is the nearest op- ponent to Mr. Golcher in long-distance casting, has been nursing a sore arm for some months, and although the effort must bave caused him much suffering he managed 1o run out 69 feet, which is a very poor performance for an angler who has frequently in practice reached the 80- yard mark. Messrs. Lowry and Edwards accredited themselves very well consider- ing the limited practice_they have had at this particular style. The result of the contestisasfollows: H. C. Golcber, 89 feet; E. N. Lowry, 79| feet 6 inches: Colonel G. C. Edwards, 76 feet; Colonel C. G. Young. 66 feet; H. B, | Skinner, 69 jeet; A. F. Lovett, 70 feet. Golcher won first prize, Lowry second, wards third and Lovett fourth. Judges— Joun Huat and H. Smythe; referee, J. B. Babcock; clerk, A. Russel Crowell. The second event on the programme was a contest tor distance and accnracy. Eleven membersentered for the trials and as, will be seen by the following scores Colonel Edwards won first honors and £kinner and Golehertied for second place. In accuracv Skinner was the most per- fect, casting a beautiful fly, but Golcher had distance under his thumb, so 10 speek, and ran up his score on Skinner in ihe casts at the third buoy. Bachller proved to be a warm competitor, who with practice will run into fir-t place at the next annual tournament, as he has splendid control of his rod. Bogurt cracked off his fly when casting at the first buoy and withdrew—thus fell from grace and out of 1he race one of the champion anglers of Truckee River. Result of contest: W. F. Bogart with- drew, W. E. Bacheller 9334 per cent, H. C. Golcher 951 per cent, H. Battu 6424 per cent, H. Skinner 95!4 per cent, A. E. Lovett 8635 per cent, C. G. Edwards 9634 per cent, . M. Haight 93 per cent, C. G. Young 794 per cent, A. F. Vogelsang withdrew, F. H. Reed 8524 per cent. In thee::t,ff for second and thirdplaces gml/cherue!en'.cd Skinner, haying scored 97% per cent, as against 9624 per cent for Ski‘nner._ e The prizes wiil be awarded as follows: Ctlcnel h«lwardfi first, Golcher second, £kinner third, Bacheiler iourth, Haight firth, Lovett s:xih. LaSs . The buoys which were cast at were six inches in circamference, and situated 50, 55 and 60 feet respectively irom the edge of the casting platform. “Each of the cone estants bad three trials at each mark. he contestant landing his fly within one ‘oot of the mark scored a perfect cast, and each joot in excess of one font from the buoy constituted a demerit. The sum total of demerit= divided by three was the aemerit percentage, anl the demerit per cent deducted from 100 was the percentage. The centestant scoring the highest per- centage wa- declared the winner. ‘The third and last event on the pro- gramme was the contest for accuracy and felicacy. The buoys in this race were the same as were used in the previous event, but they were sitnated closer to the con- testants, The distances were thirty-five, forty and forty-five feet from the edge of the platform. The rules that governed this contest stated that il a fly fell within one footof the buoy cast at, the accuracy shall be considered perfect. 3 The percen‘ages scored for celicacy and DID HE TAKE HIS OWN LIFE2 Body of a Well-to-Do At- torney Found Floating " in the Bay. accuracy were added together and divided by 1wo, the result being the percentage. The contestants were allowed thirty sec- onds to extena line by dry-fly casting to the thirty-five foot buoy. Dry-fly casting means whipping the fly in the air until the order to cast was given when scoring commenced. Scores did not count in any event where the fly was lost during the time of the contest. All casting was done from the reel, as it was contrary to rules to have any loose line on the platform at the time of casting. The result of this contest was as fol- lows: ¥. H.

Professor Kennedy's Marvelous Per- formance at the New Bush Street. The appearance of Professor T. A. Ken- nedy, the mesmerist, at the opening per- formance of the New Busin-street Theater last night was met by alarge audience, which did not restrict itself in applauding its appreciation cf the entertainment. Professor Kennedy adds much more to the usual mesmeric performance. He in- troduced several noveities last night. Ffor instance he had asubject, while under the “influence,” drink a’ concoction of neats- foot oil, kerosene, cayenne pepper, etc., which wonld have either killed an ordi- nary man in fifteen minutes or driven him into ‘*‘conniption fits,”” but neither of these occurred. The audience was kept in a continual roar of laughter throughont tbe entire evening. He had. his subjects go through many ludicrous performances. With the revived interest of the latter end of this century in scientific discoveries and de- velopments Professor Kennedy’s per- formances this week will furnish’'a source of wonder as well as gn evening’s amuse- ment. REVIVAL OF AN INDUSTRY A Glass-Bottle Factory Opening With Nearly Three Hundred - Employes. As a Consequonce of the Rspublican Victory These Workmen Will B= Happy. One of the signs of returning prosperity is to be seen in the opening of the San Francisco and Pacific Glass Works at Sey- enth and Townsend streets. Some months ago these works closed down under the pressure of dull times. As the campaign wore on, the proprietors of the works be- came convinced that McKinley would be elected. So they took advantage of the depression in business and made extensive alterations in the plant, with a view of re- opening after election. *‘We gue<sed pretty well,” said Super- intendent Davis yesterday, ‘‘when we con- cluded that McKinley would be the next President of the United States. It was then that we determined to prepare for prosperous times and to be in shape for meeting outside competition for Pacific Coast business. “We started work to-day on a small scale with thirty men. Next Monday we will put betwesn 100 to 150 men at work, and the following Monday will be ready to have between 200 and 300 men, boys ana girls steadily employed. Then our Michael Seeligsohn Thought to Have Filled H:s Pockets With Recks Before Suicide. THE MYSTERY CF A MOTIVE. No Reason for the Rash Act—Sad End- ing cf a Brother’s Anxious Search. £ Michael Seeligsobn, of the firm of Rankin & Seeligsohn, a young and prosperous lawyer, well-to-do and well connected, has, in the opinion of the Morgue officials, committed suicide. His tody, weighted with rocks, was found floating in the bay off Goat Island by H. E. Nicholson and R. T. Hoourg while out yaching last evening. The body was towed to Mission-street wharf by the yachtsman and the Coroner’s office notified. The case is a very mysterious one. De- ceased, who was 35 years of age, had been enjoying a lucrative practice and, with the exception of a slight affection of the throat, was vigorous and healthy. A week ago last Wednesday he left his lodgings, 309 Powell street, where he had been rooming for thre death. He did not again ; proprietor of the house, Joe Cohnreich, notified his brother, Ape Seeligsohn, editor of the Jewish Prozress, and his sister, M imen, wife of E. non ofthe firm of Simon & Jacobs. Mr. Simon concluded that his brother- in-law had left the City for Tucson, where he had a brother Jivin, But little was thoug until yesterday, when a brother of deceased, d at 309 Powell | street in search of the suicide. He was worried at the mysterious dis- appearance and was about to telegraph { Ins brother at Tucson, when he was in- ht of the matter Seeligsohn, also ;| formed that the body had been found. The family was greatly surprised to hear { of the death of Mr. Seeiigsohn and would hardly- believe that he had committed suicide. There were no marks of violence on the body, however, and the fact the pockets were filled with rocks was thougit to dispel all theory of foul play. Last evening E. Simon of 1911 Van Ness avenue, brother-in-law of the de- ceased, stated that he was sure that his relative had met with foul play. He had started East on business, and at the time of his aeparture he was known to have had a veluable diamond ring and a diamond pin besidesa large sum of money. Mr. Simon does not know the amount. He and his friends believe that the lawy. fell among footpads, who murdered him for his property, and after weighting the body threw it into the bay. The police will be asked to investigate the case. WARIN DEMANDS THE LAURELS Because She Gave a Larger Republican Per- centage, Alameda Men Sccff Scornfully at the Claim as Absurd. Little Marin County, where they make the best butter and lay the best eggsin the' world; that1s, where the cows make the butter and the hens lay the eggs—no, where the best cows give the best milk from which the best Republicans make the best butter and the best Republican | kens lay the best eggs—little Marin County now demands the champion flag from Alameda as the banner Republican county. The champions of Marin allege that, although Alameda County gave a big ma- jority for McKinley, it was only 6614 per cent of the whole vote, whereas Marin County’s majority is 66!{ per cent of the vote of Marin County. Alameda demands the flag from Los Angeles, and Los Angeles will return it to Alameda, from which county it wrested the Republican championship several years 2go, but Marin has stepped into the ring and declares her intention of fighting for the trophy. The Mann men are very much wrought up about the matter. It would b2 dan- gerous for any one anywhere, excent on the top of Mount Tamalpais, to speak of the matter in a light or flippant vein. 'Twould be more risky than smokinga pipe while seated on a sack of loose dyna- mite. Among the indignant citizens is C. C. Bruce of the ship-chandlery firm of Bruce, Binn & Co. He has addressed a letter “o the Republican State Central Committee of the following purport: Hon. M. R. Higgins, Secretary of the State Cen- tral Committce—DEAR SiR: I notice that Als- meda Courity claims the champion flag as the banner Republican county of California. I have spoken in relation to this mutter with members of your body, and have been told that it was & question of percentage. 1If that be the case, I hereby give notice that Marin County claims that bunner. Respeetfully, C. C. BRUCE. Ben Markeley is wild in his desire for the banner. +:T'll teil you what we'll do,” he said to 8 CALL reporter yesterday. “We'll go over in a body to Alameda and take that flaz on Monday. We won’t take it to-dav, be- cause we have no desire to spoil the Oak- land parade to-night.. That flag is ours.” Members of the Oakland -Alliance Club say that the Marin County Club will never see the banner unless they go over to Ala- meda Ccunty to see it. J. W. Lydecker of Alameda says that Alameda County is entitled to the flag and will haveit. He always understood that the contest was between Alameda and Los Angeles. That is what the flag was made for in the first ‘place. . Small cow counties were not elizible. Senator Eli Denison, who caused all the trouble by having the flag made in the first place, remarked last night in accents of cutting sarcasm that the Marines should atleast have had the decency to wait for the official count before claiming the flag. This being heard by Bruce, that gentle- man retorted with sarcasm of equal inten- sity, “What's the matter with Denison? [ think it was a very discourteous act on the part ot the Alameda swamplanders to send 10 Los Angeles for the flag before even the returns were all in.” Secretary Higgins said that if the cham- pionship were to be decided on a percent- age basis some small county with ten or fifteen votes would get the flag. The State Central Committee had nothing to do with it, he said. The flaz had been made by order of Senator Denison, and Alameda and Marin would have to fight it out. NOT A TRUST OF THE STEVEDORES So the Supreme Court Has Finally De- : ! cided. Upon This Issue Hinged a Suit i to Get an Account- ing. The Master Stevedores’ Association was organized a few years ago, and took in about all the stevedores in the City. After atime dissensions arose, and the associa- tion brought its quarrel into court. | Albert Herriman and others sued Stewart Menzies and others for an accounting, | and won their case. An appeal was taken | by Menzies to the Supreme Court, and f therein he held that there was no cause | for action, because the Master Stevedores’ | Association was in fact a trust. The Su- | preme Court did not coincide in thisview. | A decision was handed down yesterday | which affirmed the judgment of the1rial | court, and the effect of this is that Herri- man and others will get the accounting they have sought. Justice Van Fleet wrote the opinion and Justices Garoutte, Har- rison, McFarland, Temple and Henshaw concurred. Concerning the contract be- tween the members of the association the | opinion contained the following: | We are unabie to coincide in this construe- tion of the contract or 10 perceive anything therein which reunders it invalid upon the | grounds stated. The objection that its effect is to create & monopoly in and to unduly re- strict the business of stevedoring does not find support in its terms. A monopoly exists where all or so neariy ail of an srticle of trade or commerce within a community or district is brought within the hands of one man or set of men, as to practically bring the hundling of the commodity or thing within single control, to the exclusion of competition or free traffic theretn. Anything less than that is not mo- noy Assu isa thing which is the proper subject of u ming that the business of stevedoring monopoly within this defiuition, there is nothing in this agreement to render it obnox- | ious to ihat objection nor enything to show that it will operate to unlawfully restrain trade. It nowhere appears therefrom that the parties to this contract, by the combina- tion of their business interests provided for, ave in the coutrol, or anything like the con- trol, of that business in San Francisco to an extent to enable them to exclude competition therein or control the price of such labor or business. There is absolutely nothing to show { that they comprise more than the most insig- | nificant part or fraction, either in number or volume of business, of those engaged in that trade in thiscommunity. We are not at liberty to indulge in infer- ences which would resirict the parties iu their right to combine their Interests. We find | nothing in the terms of the present agreement which would necessarily work an unreasona- ble restriction in the manner of conaucting | | the business in question, or which would necessarily interfere with the freedom or right of others not parties to the contract, to engage and carry on such business. After a caretul review of all the authorities, we are unable to say from the terms of the presentcontract that it, to any extent, trenches upon the rule of public policy invoked, or that there is any- { thing within iis provisions which shouid pre- clude the parties thereto from enforcing it. DRANK CARBOLIC ACID. Marje Zwall Quarreled With Her Hus- band and Committed Suicide. Marie Zwall, 36 yeurs of age, wife of Schelte Zwall, a tent maker, residing at 118 Valencia street, committed suicide in her home last evening by drinking a quantity of carbolic acid. According to the statements of Mr. Zwall the suicide was caused by domestic trouble. “My wife and I had a quarrel over some trivial affair,” he said to Deputy Coroner Hallet, “'and she ran into a back room and swallowed a dose of poison. “I nurried for a physician, but he conld do nothing for my wife and she died in a few minutes. I don’t know what she conld have been thinking of when she darank the acid. Our quarre! amounted tonothing and couldn’t have caused her to kill herself,” The suicide wns a comely appearing woman and leaves two small children. | works will be in full operation.” We pro- pose to pay out for lavor alone at least $150,000 a year and as much more for ma- terial, all of which is got in California ex- cept the soda ash. *‘The industry is a very profitable one to the Pacific Coast. Most of the bottles used on the coast come from Europe and the Hast, but now with assurances of pro- tection and good times we don’t propose to have any foreign bottles coming in hereafter. Formerly we could only sup- vly San Francisco and a small district around the City, but now we are ready for the whole coast business.” The works bave been remodeled, with crude petroleum furnaces in place of the old coal retorts, and the capacity will be 0 incressed that about 200 tons of glass can be melted at one time. With the new system the industry can be carried on profitably and the glass-blowers paid irom $4 to $6 a day. —————— For Criminal Libel.
