{ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER ONE THOUSAND ©BONS AND GIRLS ”‘_Huirgry and Worthy Guests - of the Volunteers of " . America. The ‘Tables Were Spread Thrice and No Applicant Was * Turned Away. : 'Th_e Deportment of the Chiliren Was *" -Excellent and Many Adults Were Admitted. One of the happiest events of Thanks- giving day was a iree dinner given by the Volunteers of America to 1000 boys and .girls and quite a number of destitute men al the old Y. M. C. A. Hall on Sutter _street. . The tables for the first relay were spread - at 12 o’clock and speedily as many little Boys and girls as could be seated were ad- .-'Thitted to the hall. While the “‘ins” were ‘- dinmmg sumptuously on turkey, bham, . cranberry sauce, fruit, vegetabies, coffee and pies, there was an eager throng on " ‘the sidewalk waiting for the second relay. , The tables were cleared and spread again at 1 o’clock for the tecond instali- ment of hungry urchins, and at 2 o’clock -another feast was laid out for the third relay. The third or last division of the applicants for a square meal included many adults. In fact every #pplicant was welcomed and no one went away hungry. - Upon leaving the hall every one or the little folks received a bag of candy. The Voiunteers of America are com- " manded by Ballington Booth. Theorgan- . dzation is American in membership and is conducied according to progressive Amer- <ican -methods. Major Washington Biack- hurst, commander of the Pacific Coast But- .“talion, was master of ceremonies at the : free dinner yesterday. He was ably as- sisted by Captain Robert Gardiner, chief - of staff, Captains Brundage, Mills and Williamson and Mr. Carmany and a de- tachment of police officers. Mrs. Coon and pupis of her day school, Mrs. Hodgkins and her work: rs ‘and vol- .“ -unteérs from the Christian Endeavor as- sisied in waiuing at the iabies. The ..~ crowds of delighted youngsters were full .®f life and animation, but good order was .maintain-d. When Major Blackhurst gnnounced that there would bea stereopticon exhibition in the evening to which all were invitea bhe asked how many were coming. The num- ber of hands that went up as the boys shouted approval indicated unanimous acceptance. Every plate on tha table was abundant- ly stocked with fooa. Many of ths little feilows were voracious eaters. The major in command was astonished at the quan- tity of food that the small boys were able 1o siow away. In this kind of charitable work Major Blackhurst has had wide ex- perience. He was with General Fielding g Chicago last Christmas, when s dinner was given to 3000 men and 1000 women and children. He regards California boys as bright, interesting and easly man- aged. The Volunteers of America make a special study of the deserving poor. In this line of werk in San Francisco Cap- tain F, M. Biundage 13 remarkably efli- cient. Four years devoted w investiga- tion in this particular field enables him to judge the siiuation with accuracy. He =ays there are many deserving families in @ destitute condition. The Vo.unteers distribute all the provisions and clothing which can be outained, yet Captain Brun- dage has been compeiled recently to turn away without heip women with children who really should have had assistance. This would not be so if the people of San Francisco were familiar with the facts. In giving the iree dinner yesterday, special care was taken in the distribution of tickets to reach the worthy poor. Many of tne children who were served were . fairly weil dressed and tidy, and exceed- ingly well behaved. The composition of the throng, and especially the deport- ment.of the little girls, indicated clearl - that the tickets had not been prom cuously given out on the streets. No doubt many a home, where destitution is in a sense concealed, sent children to the dinner spread by the Volunteers. Major Blackhurst says tue organization Americam Volunteers is increasing rapidly on the Pacific Coast. The San - Jose post has sixty active members, rep- ,-gesenting the best material. The San : Francisco post has a membership of fifty. The major has_just returned from a suc- . ‘cesstul recruitine expedition to Los An- . geles and San Diego, and will leave shortly for the nortu to continue the work <, . of organization ' ' 'HIT WITH A SANDBAG, | © Mrs, Hartforth and Her Babe Have a Sad kxperience on Waller Street. . - . Harry Reynolds, the police patrolman, *. -which is stuffed with moist sand. "' bas been moving about for the past two days with an old stocking the foft of It is --not that he is particularly attracted to .. that kind of apparel, but Reynolds ex- . “pects to make a particularly important .discovery valuable to tue department and the public. On Wednesday last Sergeant Colby was informed by policeman Riordan that there had been a terrible commotion on his beat, arqund Waller and Fillmore streets. A - wiman was screaming and gave other evi- dence of being in pain and danger. It ‘about 10 o’clock in the morning and Riordan got to tne scene too late to do enything but hear from the woman that a burglar, sandbagger and would-be mur- derer had passed him on the road, leaving ihe house shortiy before the guardian of . the peaee put in an appearance. . Mrs. Susie Hartforth of 311 Waller was <-the viciim. She was quite hysterical’and showed a blackenea eye, saying that the man, who bad been a frequent cailer at the bouse, had hit her with the stuffed * ‘stocking and taken from her a nickel " * which she kept in the rear of ber cottage. *‘He came here last Monday,” she sad ° yesterday. ‘‘He was looking for some . woman who has never lived here, and I told him so. Subsequently he called again and spoke about uklnfi a room in the house. He went into his pocket as though to get the money to pay for the room. Buddenly he turned and begged that I get him some hot water as he was .suffering from toothache. I had my litile © . baby in my arms, and before I realized what was coming he struck me with that stuffed stocking.” “The lady’s story, given in her present * hysterical condition, 18 not accepted by the police as a correct account of the case. Captein Lees and Policeman Reynolds are looking for the alleged culprit, who, the woman says, bad two pneumatic bicycle tires, which he left outside of the bouse when he entersd. In speaking of \hs_ alleged sandbavger the woman de- bed him as iollows: ‘As nearly as I can state the man was ears old. His hair was dark and he Was smooth-facel. He wure a dark blue sack coat and gray trou-ers with a_some- what lighter stripe, His hat wasa Fedora of brown color. I remember best his . shoes. They were black and pointed, one . of them, the right, I think, being cracked on the side. He was probably about 5‘ feet 7 inches high and had a very long | nose.”. ——————— A Light Blaze. An alarm of fire was turned in from box 67, Hawthorne and Harrson streeis, yesterday evening. The blaze, which proved to be at 618 Harrison street, a small building occupien by Wiliiam Smith and a part of the Kettle estate, was speedily extinguished. It was caused by the explosion of & coaloil lamp, and the damage will aggregate $200. —_——— The Japanese are a go-ahead people in almost everything but railway speed. Of all the twenty-three lines in Japan, state and private, the Tokio- Yokohama has the honor of the best time—an average speed of 19 miles 76 chains per hour.

POINT ARENA, Can, Nov. 26.—The citizens of this place raised a purse of $4 for Indian Bill, one of the crew of v.lun- teers who seemed to think no more of risking his life for the shipwrecked sailors of the San Bepito than of eating a square meal at somebody’s invitation. Indian Bill was very proud of the money, and proceeded to bura it in pood Indian style. There have been in &ll eight steamers wrecked at'Point Arena and vicinity, and hundreds of lives lost. The wreck of the San Benitd is only one instance and illus- trates the great need of a life-saving station here, or at least a lifeboat and some rockets and lines. If there had been either a suitable boat or a gun with which to fire a line across the San Benito the crew would have been saved on Sunday instead of the next day by a steamer. Thereis a movement here to call the attention of members of Con- gress to the necessity of the Government tak.ng some action to save life around this d .ngerotuis point. The Dinner Given to the Poor by the Volunteers of America at the Old Hall of the Y. M. C: A.on Sutter Street. 100 MUCH ROLL 10 THE OREGON Bilge Keels Are o Be Riveted to Her Round Hull. Medals for the Four Heroes of the San Bemito Dis- aster. Arrival of the Brig Gemeva From Alaska Disabled—An Exciting Launch Race. Thanksgiving along the docks was a day of rest, as all the offices and warehouses were closed and not & pound of cargo was moved. All the vessels at the wharves flew their ensigns and severa! were dressed in bunting. The rowing clubs being at the regatia over the bay, there was only one race on the City front. It was a contest started at a word, and was fiercely fought for till the end. For months—in fact, ever since they were built—there has been rivalry between George Knight'slaunch Athleteand Henry Peterson’s launch Amy. The two pretty gasoline craft are always moored side by side in a slip near Folsom street, ap- parently on the bestof terms, but these two aquatic brother and sister are not a | haj family. 'fl:{z Athlete, which is run by Henry Peterson’s brother, Charley, bas been in the habit of skimming by the more mod- est Amy and challenging her to a race. As the two launches were returning from the regatia yesterday Chirley Peterson agein flung defiance in the face of his brother Henry, and as the spirit of racing was in the air a match.was made. The course was from Folsom-street wharf around Goat Island and return, and $20 was put up as a prize. Captain Jobn Silovich started the littie vessels from the outer end of the landing float, and at the word the electric b{;nrks of two engines struck togetherand the two boats bounded away. For a mile they went noseand nose, when the Amy slowly drew ahead of her sister competitor. ‘The bay was quite rough and Henry Peterson’s craft was making better weather of the run. He conunued to widen the distance between the launches and crossed the line ten lengths in the lead. There will probably be another test of the speed of these two launches, as George A. Knight will never permit any craft of her inches to get away with his beloved Athlete. The battle ship Oregon, which went to sea for a short cruise Jast Saturday, re- turned yesterday morning and anchored in her old berth off Sausalito. During the trip, which was extended as far south as Monterey, all of the guns of ber battery were tested with full service charges, the great pieces working beautifully. There were eight 13-inch ¢ arges, sixteen of the 8-inch, eight of the 6-inch, tmng-tvo of the 6-pounder and eleven l-nounder fired during the trial. As the 1100 pounds of sieel projectile driven by 550 pounds of powder wou'd spring from the muzzles of the great 13-inch rifles they would siide back in the recoil and retura to their original positions without a jar. ‘lfize life of one of those yuns is some. thing like 100 full-service charges, and the ieces being valued at about $100,000, each Siachnga injures the gun $1000. This, ‘added to the about $500 cost of the powder and shell, makes tue necessary test of the rifles rather costly. The next trip of the battle-ship will be to Port Orchard, in Puget Sound, wherc she will go on the great naval drydock for the purpose of having biige-keels or roll- ing-chocks put in her hull. These are | two great slapbs of steel riveted to the bilges at rieht angles with the wall of the hull and extending from near the bow aft 1o the counter. Their office is to prevent the excessive roliing of the round-bottomed hull in a heavy beam sea. They catch the water like fans as she wallows from side to side, thereby reducing her roil to a minimum. The last two trips of the Orezon at sea in rough weather, on one of whith she rolled as much at 29 degrees, have shown the Navy Department that the bilge keels are absolutely necessary. She will go to Port Orchard, as neither the drydocks at Mare lsland nor at Hunters Point are large enough to hold the big battle-ship. First Officer L. E. Oisen and Seaman Peter And rson, Axel Hendrickson and Andrew Lilleland of the steamer Point Areng, which brought down the thirtye seven survivors of the lost San Benito yes- terday, are the heroes of the disaster. The story of their noble efforts to board the wreck through the heavy seas in their little tub of a boat has been faitufully told in TuE CaL. It was by their courage ana ekill in the face of great peril that thirty- | one persons were taken [rom the fore rig- ging of the crumbling San Beniv The four men will be recommended to Congress for live-saving medals, and their brave act will thus be officially recognized. hie brig Geneva arrived from Santa Cruz yesterday towed by the tug Rescue. She le t Shumagin I.Jand, Alaska, Novem- ber 4, with a careo of concentrates and two boxes of bullion for the Apollo Min- ing Company in this City. Aimost imme- diately she ran into heavy weather and for fourteen days had a succession of gales. On the 23d and 24th the vessel labored heavily, the decks being con- stantly full of water from the great waves washing over her. The rails and upper works of the hull were badly damaged by the seas and a number of sails were blown away. She was unable to enter this port and was driven sout: to Santa Cruz, from which place she was towed here. The steamer Point Arena, with the thiriy-seven surviving members of 1he ill- fated collier San Benito, which went ashore last Sundsy mofning near Point Arena, arrived here at 3 o’clock yesterday morning. Captain Smith was stili weak from the long exposure, and there was hardly a maa among the lot who had on a whole suit of clothes. About half of the crew turned out half-dréssed and rushed on deck when the ship struck. About a dozen of them clung to the rigging from shortly after midnight of Saturday till Monday morning with anly a shirt or a shirt and drawers to protect them from the sea and cold. On the trip down on the steamer Captain Smitn would talk but little about the wreck. He said: “I have not made any stalement to anvbody about the vessel voing ashore. What I have to eay I will say at the proper time before the underwriters and elsewhere. According to our log we had passed Point Arena.” In leaving the liitle steamer at dawn yesterday morning the crew got together in a cluster on the woarf and gave thres cheers lor the stesmer and her captain, for Mate Olson and the three seamen who bravely took them off the wreck and for the impromptu life-saving crew of Point Arena volunteers who tried to save them in one of the San Benito’s boats which went ashore. Jim McKeon was the member of the crew with whom the idea of cutting through the deck into 1he storeroom for something to eat originated, and, tinding an ax, he proceeded to do the job. This is what gave the crew renewecd strength 10 hold out till the rescuers came. McKeon says the crew was waiting for calmer water before jumping into the sea and swimming ashore. The men who re- mained;in the rigging all the time were Part of the Crew of the Point Arena Who Saved the Lives of the Crew of the San Benito. PETER ANDERSOH, SEVERAL MORE SCHOOLS 0 CLOSE Members of the Board of Health Say It Is Necessary. Dread Diptheria Is Spreading in Certain Parts of the Mission. The Board of Heaith Wil Meet With the Ccmmittee of the Board of Education To-Day. The Board of Health is very much alive to the fact that diphtheria has become epidemic in certain parts of the City. Despite the attitude of hostility assumed toward the board by the Board of Educa- tion the doctors composing the Board of Health declare an intention of closing all schools where there is any reason 10 be- heve the health of the children is endan- gered. “The disease is epidemic in some parts of the City,” said Dr. J. F. Morse last evening, in answer to questioning. *“We do not wish to alarm anybody, but the Board of Health thinks proper to take every precaution against the spread of the disease. The board will meet the commit- tee o1 the Board of Education to-morrow, Friday morning, and wili discass the situ- ation, but the Board of Health has not acted without a full knowledge of the premises, snd it is not likely that it will change its programme. The schools mentioned in the mnote to the Board of Kducation as being in an unsanitary condition, insomuch as to endanger the bealth of the children, will have to be closed. The Board of Edn- cati on was given due notice of the action of the Board of Healt'. There may have been some misunderstanding as to time. I think it is likely there was.” The doctor was asked as fo the effect of the use of antitoxine in diphtberia cases. He said: *‘There is no doubt that anti- toxine is an excellent remedy, but it is by no means infaliible. It should not be re- lied upon entirely.” Dr. Fitzgibbon of the Board of Health was also seen yesterday in regard to the prevalence of dread Ciphtheria and the proposed closing of certain schools by the board. He said: ‘‘The Board of Heulth mude a careful examination of the schools in the Mission where the disease seems to be ceutral and found them in bad condition. The district chiefly affect +«d iHes In the viciuity of San- chez, Noe und Seventeenth streets, The schools in that neighborhood are the Everett, the 8t. Franas, the Doug- ANNREW L1111 ANN las, the Mission Grammar and the Mar- shall. The planking in the yard of the Everett is decayed and moldy and is a dangerous breeder of di-ease. These schools will be ordered closed no doubt at the meeting to be held to-morrow (Friday) morning, at which time the board wili meet the committee of the Board of Edu- cation, Drs. Clinton and Boper.” As to anti-tox ne Dr. Fitzgibbon said: “1 find it an excellent remedy, but I do not rely npon it, as I am not 2iven much to experimenting. I use the old and tried remedies with it. There are some cases— chiefly of adults—where it does not bring the best results. However, diphtheria does not often attack adults. Where promptiy applied in the cases of children anti-toxine seems an excellent remedy and shouid reduce the death rate from this discase very materially.” PENSION ACT Amendments to Be Sub- mitted to the Legis- lature. To Cover the Case of Chief Crowley and Abolish the Age Condition. THE POLICE | Proposition ty Amend the Ccnsolica- tion Act by Increasing the Pay of Captains. ‘When Chief Crowley tendered his resig- nation in Febfuary last unider the mistaken impression that he was eligible for retire- ment on the pension list it was under- stood alter the resignation was with- drawn that an amendment would be pre- pared to the pension act and intro- duced at the next session of the Btate Legislature covering his case, so that he can retire if he should so decide as soon as the amendment is passed. The Chief has actually served twenty- three years, but six were by election, and there was an interval of some years be- tween his last year's service by election and his first by appointment under the Board of Police Commissioners. The pro- posed amendment to the act is to make the term twenty years by eleciion orap- pointment, and not by appointment only as 1he act reads at present. There is also a proposition on foot to furtner amend the act so as to entitle an officer to retire from the force aiter serv- ing twenty years without the condition that he must be sixty years of age or over. This rule applies in New York and some other cities 1 the East, and it is con- tended that it should in justice apply here S0, The alleged injustice of the existing or- der of things is pointed out in this way: A man 25 years of age joins the force and he woula have toserve thirty-five years be- fore being eligible to be piaced on'the pen- sion list, but if a man who is 85 years of age joins the force he has only to serve twenty-five years, ten years less than the other man. Apart from this it is argued that a continuous service of twenty years | [ should entitle an officer to a pension. Another matter in connection with the department may &lso be brought to the at- tention of the Legislature at the same time and that is to provide for an increase in the pay of captains. They sre at pres- ent in receipt of $150a month. Patrolmen receive $100 a month, corporal!s $115, ser. geants $125, and lieutenants $140. Thedifference in favor of the captains is so small that an attempt will be made to amend the consolidation act so as to in- crease the pay of captains and probably lientenants to an amount commensurate with the responsibilites attached to the office. In the Wastern cities captains receive, as arule, much larcer salaries than those here. In New York they receive $2750 a year; in Brooklyn $2700, and in other cities with possibly one or two exceptions ;:ha sdlaries are much larger than in this ity. Bince the passing of the consolidation act the City has very materially increased in population with a corresponding in- crease in crime and responsibility for the beads of the departments, and it is now urged that the time has come when a cor- responding increase in the salaries should be made. SCALED THE FENCE. The Pecaliar Conduct of D. H. Patten, a Salesman, Being Investigated by the Police. D. H. Patten, a salesman in Noonan’s furniture-store on Mission street near Sixth, imbibed rather freely yesterday afternoon, and now he is in the City Prison, awaiting an investigation into bis peculiar conduct. About 9 o'clock last night Dr. Albert Hiller of 1011 Sutter street had his at ten tion attracted to the rear of his residence by the loud barking of his dog. He looked out and saw a2 man in his shirt. sleeves in the yard. The doctor seized his revolver and went into the yard, when the man ran and climbed over the fence into the yard of & house on Post street. The doctor felephoned to the North End pelice siation and Policeman Harrington was sent to invesiigate. He found the man, who proved to be Patten, Iying on his back in the yard of the Post-street house. Harrington thought at first he was deaa, but after shaking him for a wiile discov- ered that the man was intoxicated. Har- rington asked him how he got into the doctor’s yard, and Patten said he did not know. Patten was taken to the North End station, where he was held for being drunk. He was then taken to the City Prison and Detectives Egan and Silvey will endeavor to find out what was his in- tention in climbing into Dr. Hiller’s yard. Patten had ciimbed over the doctor’s fence frum an alley that runs off Hyde street. The fence is about eighteen feev high, and how he managed to get over it is a mystery. He lives on i’alk and O'Farreli streets. AT THE CITY PRISON. & The Inmates Enjoy a Repast of Tur- key and Pudding. The inmates of the City Prison, through the kindness of Captain Robinson and Sergeant Lindheimer, enjoyed a plentiful supply of tarkey and pudding yesterday. Eight fat turkeys were supplierd and each prisoner was able to partake of the juxury, the ‘‘drunks” having been discharged in the morning. The deaconesses of the Methodist Epis- copal church bheld an interesting and im- pressive service in the prison in the morn- ing. They were assisted by the Moody and BSankey ?uanet from Chicago ana their singing of several well-known hymns was deli htful. TR NEW TO-DAY. 880888 Natural € Flavors without that scalded- milk taste.
