Chief Wharfinger Root and Assistant Chief Wharfinger Scott had a lively half. hour on the bey last Monday evening. | They had been warning some vessels that | were in the fairway of the freight steamer | Transit, and served notices upon the mas- | ters to move first thing yesterday morn- | ing. While on tieir way back to Clay- street wharf in tne State tug Governor Irwin they espied s half-submerged barge dri coast-defense steam- er Monterey. They at ouce gave chase and eaught up with the derelict when she | was within a hundred yards of the war- ship. Scolt sprang aboard, taking a tow- line with him, but the tide was 100 strong and the water-logged barge took com- mand. The Governor Irwin heeled over until everybody on board thought she | would capsize. Chief Root seized an ax and was just about to cut the cable when Assistant Chief Scott yelled out, *For God's sake, George, don’t send me adrift; | | wait until she swings” Root did wait, and presently the Irwin was on an even keel again, and Scott and the Monterey | | were saved. | The barge was then towed to Mission | Bay and safely tied up to one of the moor- | ing p.les. | “It’s the last time I will ever attempt to save a United States war vessel irom de- struction,”” was all that M-, Scott would condescend to say about the matter yes- terday.

It deait Itogether with wharves. For two weeks Mr. Holmes has been donning overails in the morning and spendin: at least five | hours in making a thorough inspection of | the piling of the wharves from Meiggs whart to Second street. He says that some of the piers require immediate at- tention. The piling of Spear-street wharf | and its approach, sections 1, 2 and 3, the | east half of section B, Fishermen’s wharf, | the north end of section 4, all require im- | mediate attention. Mr. Holmes' advice is tnat the work be let by contract and should be done at once. He estimates the cost at $35,000, Mission 1 and 2 want 200 piles, says the Chief Engineer, and Third- street wharf and the Third-street lumper whar!, Jackson-sire-t wharf and Wash- ington-street wharf also require attention, All the other wharves will pe good for an- | other eighteen mont. Goodatl, Perkins & Co. wrote complain- ing about the coudition of Broadway wharf, but Chief Engineer Holmes said that the wharves were in a perfectly sate condition ana required no repairs. The session of cue board Iasted about an hour and a half, but not a solitary farmer or commissiun merchant put in an ap- pearance to speak in favor of the free market.

Attorney Campbell Not Ab'e to Obtain an Expression Regarding the Re- mainder of the Docum-nt. court was flooded with bandwriting experts yesterday. tion to Experts Gumpel and Horton, who were present, it was intimated that Ames and Carvalbo of New York were to be in- troduced. As a beginning in this line of testimony Attorney George A. Knight, who repre- sents the contestants of the will of the late Jacob Z. Davis, intrcduced George R. E. Maxwel. tional Bank of San Francisco. Mr, Maxwell said that he was well ac- quainted with the handwriting of Jacob Z. Davis, who tanked at his instituiion tor years. He was asked to examine the will, which Le proceeded to do with a powerful microscope by window. The examination lasted fifteen minutes, but at the end of that time Max- well asked to have uniil 2 r. M. to render his opinion. When court reconvened Mr. Maxwell said hie had made an examination under the microscope and he ihought that the | word “Davis’’ at the beginning of the will was a forgery, rs was also _the same word He had not made a critical examination of other parts of the instrument for the rea- Pearl E. Stroud, Lillian | son that his attention had been directed Swain, | byjthe lawyer's questions to only the word “Davis.” Notuing could induce Mr. Maxwell to express an opinion touching the remain- der of the writing. He had often paid checks signed by the firm name of Boyd & Davis, the same having been written by Mr. Davis, but he had never seen Mr. Davis sign anything as Jecob Z. Davis, and not being fami.iar with that signature could not at that time pass judgment on part of the signature. It wes not for him to argue on the question In addi- | aying teller of the First Na- | the courtroom | { | of whether part of a signature might be | bogus and the rest of it genuine. Attorney Campbell, speaking for the proponents of the will, mixed Mr. Max- well up in regard to his theories, and suc- ceeded in getting an admission that i was impossibie for the witnessor anybody else to_say vositively whether the signa ture “Jacob Z. Davis” was written with a | | mittee—P. gold pen or a steel pen, unless the usual | custom of the writer were known to the person making the examination. Mr. Maxwell seeme cious, for even afier being a-sured by the court and all the attorneys on both sides that exhibit No. 16, a covy of the so-called wife will, was in the handwriting of the stator. he satd he woula have o make an examination of it under a microscope before he wonld answer questions about itor use it as a basis for jorming a judg- ment on other writings. The examination of John C. Sender- ling, who came 3000 miles to tell all he knaw about th: death of Mr. Davis and who revealed tbe fact that his demise was directly traceable to the excessive use of castor oil, was concluded yesterday. Attorney Campbell, on young ladies, Mrs. Curtis and Miss Muir, Who are named as legaiess in the will, asked the witness whetner he remem- bered receiving a letter from Davis dated October 1, 1896, in which the millionaire referred to his intended disposition of his properiy. Senderling answeredi: *No, sir; Ldo not. Davis never wrote me any such letter.” “You say that when Davis died you took charge of the girls, as you call them, and sdvised them what to do?"” pursued mpbell. “Why did you do that?” Because they were 3000 miles away | from home and there was no one else 1o take care of them.’’ benalf of the | somewhat suspi- | | they would come | week or | for the comfortable quarters provide: HAPLESS WOMEN NOW HOMELESS Salvation Army Obliged to Close Its Temporary Home.
