Chargés of Discrimination Will All Be Carefully Ex- amined. The Administration Wants to Favor 0ld Soldiers, Other Things Being Tqual OaxLAND OFFICE Sax FraNcisco (‘ALL.} 908 Broudway, Nov. 15. The story pubifshed in 1HE CaLL a month ago of the char;es made against tue authorities at Mare Island Navy-yara by the G. A. R. veterans has attracted the attention of Secretary Long of the Navy Department. The charges were laid before Mr. Hil- born by a delegation of old soldisrs, and stated that every attempt was being nade to discriminate against the veterans at Mare Island. It was stated that they were given the most unpleasant tasks, and that whenever an opportunity offered vet- erans were discharged and othersretained. A copy of the allezations was sent by Congressman Hilborn to Washinzton and he has received the following revly NAVY DEPARTME | WASHIN Nov. 8, 1897, My Dear Sir: 1 huve yours'of Octber 30, erning complaints made LY veterans tuat are discrimiuated rgainst by the author- t at the Mare Isiand Navy-yard, and re- questiug that an investigation of the matter be he.a.

Itis the intention of the department, ail other thing being equal, that veterans shall be given preference for re- tention when it becomes necessary to reduce the force. However, the on.v practical way of ing the reiative eflicieucy of the re- mployes is to ace pt the opinious of ers in cbarge, who ure beid respon- for the character of the work turned out. The department 1s not inc.ined to beifeve that the cflicers in charge discriminate eteraus, but in order to satsy the have the entire matter imvesti- | gat Of course you will understand that it Is not practicable to investigate a geueral charge that velerans are diseriminuted against, and for this reason I wo asK you 1o have : persons who desire 1o havs their cases inve«igat:d make specific charges in writing aid forward them to the comma dant of the Mure Isiand N vy-yard, who wiil turn them over to Lieulenant n J.

Bafore Mr. Hilborn took any action he 10 know whether the veterans couid substantiate their charges in detsii and place them in such form that official action cguld be taken on them. The veterans declared that their charges were based on specitic acts at Mare Island, and that they could produce thie necessary documentary evidence. This they will now be reqaired to do. HOISTING THE COLUMKS, Work on the Hall of Justice Has As- sumed & Businesslike Appearance. The hoisting of the columns and girders on the new Hal! of Justice was com- menced yesterday. Pucific Rolling Mills sent a gang of men to work at the new buiding yesterday morning The hissing of the donkey-en- gine and snortingof the steam as it puffed through the escape-valves in boistine the huge columns into place on the platesand lifting the girders into the notches pre pared for them awoke the residents about the site of the cld City Hall at the hour of 7 o'clock, when ihe gang from the rolling miils commenced work. With the facilities at band and the ma- terial on the ground the steel <keleton of the hall wiil be in place inside of thirty days. During this time the brickiayers be kept constantly at work filling tue backing on the sides aad in the rear, ! while the stonesetters will have an oppor- Lunity to keep the facing advanced in harmony with theother progressive move- ment going on about the strac ure. Contractors Bateman Bros., however, who have determined to make their own terra-cotta material, has not as yet pre- pared the plant for this purpose. Asa consequence tre work will nec ssarily be delayed as soon as the second story is reached. This, with the ad.{itional neg- le-t of not (etting the <ontract ior the flooring, which must b- fireproof, will add to the turther delay of the building. Daring the great r port on of yesterday eral of the North End Club members vi-ited the pirce and seemed more than pleased at seeing a comm ncement made on the building even at this remote day.

The committee of the labor unions which 1s makine such a hard fight for the life o! Salter D. Worden, the alieged train- wrecker, received a notice last night which caused a buzz of excitement that has not yet subsiied. A motion is now pending before the United State« Supreme Court to have the case advunced on the docket aid heard on the 6th of December, but this motion is being fought inch by inch by his friends, wno desire to gain time, as tbey cluim they will not be pre- pared to properly present Lhe case be.ore next March, at the very nearest. 0. course, to fight a case through all the courts requires a great deal of money, and he litile sum raised by Worder Iriends, who like himsell are poor men, is a:most exhausied. Wnen last night a notice from Washington was received by hi attorney to the effect 1hat the sum of $60 must be deposited in Washington by Lluursday night to pay for the filing of papers, affidavits and oth r fees the news made (nings look biue for a whiie. Nothing daunted, however, the com- m ttee at once set to work and hasiy visite were paia to such unions us were in ses- sion, with iairly sausf ciory results, al- though in most cases ine treasuries o: these bodies are at present in such a de- pleted condition that little can be spared. Sucn unions as meet to-night and to-mor- row night will also be visited, andeif the money can possibly be rais d it will at once be telegraphed on to Washington, as the man s ife seems practically to hany on the success or failure of the committee to secure the money. After cirefully considering the matter for some weeks the Bricklayers’ Union last night deciled to afliliate with the Building Trades Council, and elecied three delegates to represent them in tha boay. Although the local B icklayers’ Union is one of the smaliest Liade o gan- izations in the city it= allisnce wil. very materially strengthen the council, as now all the building trades are united in one cen rul organization. A committee wus al.o appointed to visii Tuomas F.zzer- sid, a member of the union, who was in- jured on a building iast Saturday, and see that he does not suffer for tue want of any comforts which his fellow-workmen can supply.

Young Mrs. Draper Cannot Ex- plain Why She Should Be Left Alone. Although It Is a Mystery She Will Not Believe Sho Is De- serted. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRAN( 908 Broadway In a little home on Eighth street a pale girl not yet 16 years of age, with a iittle baby six weeks old, aw:its the com- ing of her husband with little hope of seeing him again. Mrs. Draper blames her husband’s parents that she is now left alone, She says that ten months of married life bave been perfectly happy, that they have | never quarreled and that she does not blame her husband for gcing away and eaving her unprovided for. These circumstances are the sequel to sn elopment and a tugboat marriage that cccurred last Christmas day. Char- ley Draper, then 21 years of age, wasa prosjerous young barber of this city. | Grace Keily was a young girl living with ner granamother when she met Draper. After a short acquaintance the young pople decided to marry, but there were | all sorts of objections to the union, and | last Christmas day they disappeared from nome and next morning their friends and relatives read in the papers that they had been married on the high seas by Rev. O. C. Chase, of San Francisco. They returned to Oakland and their hastiness was forgiven, and for a time they lived with Mrs. Draper, the groom’s mother. Tbis, however, dd not prove satisfactory, and Mirs. Kel'y, the bride’s granamother, assisted the young folks to <tart housekeeping on their own account. Everything went smoothly with the ex- ception that young Mrs. Drajer thought | that Mrs. Draper Sr. exercised tco much nfluence over her son. Six werks ago a little girl was born, and | instead of proving a boni to unite the voung couble stili closer, it proved the reverse. List Wedre:day Draper I ft home as usuai in the morning, went to his barber-shop, which his wife savs is now the property of his niother, packed up his razors snd lefi home. He has+ not been seen since, and little Mrs. Draper cannot understand why he should have so sud- denly left his wife and child. She does not like 10 think any evil Les befallen him, and declares that she will not for a moment believe she is deserted, hut thinks that he may have gone to some other locality to establish a home for his family where they will be free from all inter- forence or outside influ-nce. Mrs. Draver said this afternoon that all sbe knows is thats ieand her lit'le one are left to look ouu for themselves, but she has not a single unkind word for ber hus- vand, although she confsses his be- havior1s a mystery (o ber. Colonel Dimpfel of the Children’s So- ciety is interested in the case and is muking efforts to find the missing hus- band. SEVEN TEOUSAND SHORT.

Fizures obtained by P-ofessor Piehn show a decrease of over §176,000,000 1n tne total asses-ed properiy in the State since Accordingly the univer-itv's <hare of the tax on this basis is over $7000 less ihan it would have been had mnroperty valuations been the same in 1897 as in 1806, as it was expected they wouid when the univer ity tax bill was passed. Of the shortage, about $1700 will come out of the building funu, leaving a shor- age on the expense fund o! over $5300. Thanksgiving Minstrels.

WL IN THE GUTRERS More of the Spurious Fluid Coursing Toward the Bay’'s Waters, Dockery Continues His Midnight Raids and Will Give the Cffenders No Rest. Once more the gutters and sewers hav: been flushed with milk, orsomething that looks iike it, and again vanders of lacteal fluil have been forced io turn homeward with empty wagons and pocketbooks, while visions of a specter known as Dock- ery flitted througu “their uneasy minds or gnawed at adamantine consciences. For Dockery has again been on his mid- mght raid~. Yesterdav moraing b fore the lord of the barnyard had crowed his earliest crow, the bad angel of the milk- men tempted Dockerv ou: of doors and he wended his way to a rendezvous of milk-! men at he corner of Ei ‘hteenth and Mis- sion str-ets, where a b ref halt was mad - and a qrantity of milk in the c llar put througn the test. The milkmen oy tis time were wall on their way to the city, ard on tr.e Mission road fortv-one wagon< were stopped be- tween the hours of 1 and 3. From thirty o' these samples of a suspicious-looking 1quid which may have been milk, bu to nii arrearances wasa baselibelon the lac- tea! flud, were taken. Tney were care- fullv jabeled and st aride, and woe unto the venders if thev are iried and found wanting. From the Mission road a trip acro-s Auction Salcs “CML” OFFIE FIXTURES THIS DAY.

Lottman, contain- ing a composition supposed 1o be the product of the Fai vule creamery, was held up. An inspeciion was made of the contenis of the wagon, and then of the cutter. Mr. Dockery was ina quardary for a few minutes, for, as he sai . : “Itdid seem a shame to dump thut vile sff intg such a clean-looking gutter, but it had to be done, so swal- lowed a big lump in my throat and let ’er go.”” After Mr. Lottman’s stock in tride had been disposed 0. the wagon of K. Marble was brou bt to a standsuil, and its contents were soon wending their wav to j»n old compuanions in the waters ol the be-utiful bay of San Franci-co. Mr. D ckery says that he wili call out all the inspectors va ‘the force if neces- sary—the prople must have pure milk.
