30 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1898 VICTIMS OF THE SOUTHEASTER The Steamer Arcata Had a Hard Time of It Off Mendocino. Some of the Puget Sound Fleet Have Not Yet Put in an Appearance. Alaska Steamers Are All Behin Time and a New Timetable 1s Necessary. South-bound steamers have been | having a terrible time of it in the storm that has been raging off the | coast of Oregon during the last few days. The steamer Arcata was twen- ty-four hours late in getting in from Coos Bay, and the crew say It was one of the roughest trips they have made for a year. Last Wednesday night they went asleep with the vessel off Cape Mendocino, and when they woke up in | the morning the steamer hadn’t made a | mile. All she could do was barely hold her own against the howling southeast- | er. Everything was flooded, and the | cooks and stewards had a very lively time of it supp!ying the passengers with | meals. The steamer Santa Cruz left Seattle last Sunday at 9:30 a. m., and has not yet put in an appearance, while the\ mail steamér Walla Walla is also be- hind time. The Santa Cruz is loaded with coal and general merchandise, and the chances are that Captain Olsen, finding his vessel unable to make any headway, hove her to under whatever little canvas she could carry and waited for the storm to blow itself out. She has no passengers on board, and, has been used as a freight boat between here and the Sound since the rush to Dyea and Skaguay began.. The storms which have raged in Alas- kan waters have thrown the schedule of the Pacific Coast Steamship Compa- ny into great disorder. The vessels have been all delayed by stress of | weather, and until a new time table can | be arranged they will leave as follows: | The Walla Wala, sailing from San | Francisco March 2, will connect at Se- attle with the Queen, leaving on the 5th, and the AI-Ki on the 7th. The Umatilla, leaving here on the 7th, will connect with the Victorlan, leaving Se- attle on the 10th, the Cottage City on the 11th and the Australia on the lith. After those trips the vessels will run on a new schedule which s now being pre- pared. g Oscar Speight, the well-known trans- fer man at the ferries, is in mourning for the loss of his pet Scotch terrier. Oscar was sick for a couple of days | last week, and left his pet in care of the man {n charge of the turm table at the foot of Market street. While the animal was playing around with him it got in the way of one of the cars and had its hind feet cut off. Officer Dowd | and two or three others who are always around the ferries tried-to save the ani- mal’s life, but when mortification set in they put a rope around the dog’s neck. tied a stone to the rope and threw it overboard. When Oscar returned to work all that was left of his pet was the collar. Officer Bean of the Harbor police ar- rested Gus Willlams on the charge of grand larceny yesterday. Williams and Mick Kennedy, both ex-conviets, stole $50 worth of lead pipe from the Risdon Iron Works. When they were chased they dropped their plunder and made their escape. Kennedy was arrested last Friday, and when Officer Bean saw Willlams yesterday he locked him up d larceny charge. gr;x‘:e bark %regon has been outside since last Friday and canpot make port. She is from Newcastle, N. S. W., and Friday night was fourteen miles off. She beat backward and forward yes- terday and could not get in, and as her captain will not take a tow the chances are that it will be some time to-day be- fore she reaches port. —_——— CLARKE WINS A BIG SUIT. Judge Hebbard Gives Judgment Against the Heirs of D. M. Reavis for a Fortune. Judge J. C. B. Hebbard rendered judg- ment on Friday for $125,155 65 In favor of C. W. Clarke against Ann E., J. J., M. A. and D. M. Reavis and Frederick Holt, | administrator of the estate of Nellie B. Holt. An additional judgment of $23,- 28625 was given on a number of promis- sory notes, together with Interest. The action In which the judgment was given | was-instigated June 8, 1896, and Involved the right to certain insurance policies on | the life of D. M. Reavis, who died In May, 1887. In August of the same year | Clarke collected $35,000, the amount of three policies, and paid to D. M. Reavis Jr. $2500, to which he was entitled. As the elder Reavis in life had many busi- ness dealings with Clarke he became in- debted to him in the sum of $75,00. For | security for this fortune advanced Reavis assigned to Clarke the Insurance poli- cies mentioned and advanced notes for | the balance. By September, 1887, the $75,- 000 indebtedness had grown to $81,703 32 and owing to subsequent amounts ad- | vanced Reavis and his wife made a new | note to cover the entire amount of their indebtedness to Clarke. Subsequently the amount of the indebtedness grew to the amount of the judgment and suit was brought to compel Its payment and Judge Hebbard held that the claim of the plaintiff was a just one and ordered that judgment be entered as prayed for. —e——————— Judge Davis Will Try the Case.

The arrest of Theresa Servent and her appearance before the Insanity Commissioners yesterday has brought out a pitiful story of a girl's suffering and a father's brutality. Theresa Servent is not insane. It doesn’t take an Insanity Commission to decide that. She has been discharged from the Receiving Hospital, where she had been detained, for there Is not a trace of brain sickness about her. Il bodily she has been and still is. And that illness had robbed her of appetite and made her disinclined to talk. There's a woman who lives next door to the Servents out at North Beach who has all the tender forbearance, all the merciful sympathy of an Apache. She watched sorrowful, black-éyed Theresa grow more and more listless daily. The girl was like a dumb animal in her suffering. She longed only to creep away, to be let alone. It occurred to the woman, who spent most of her time at the Servents’ house, that it would be an exquisite joke to tease and torment Theresa. So she prodded and pricked and goaded the sick girl. Why didn’t she talk? Why didn't she eat? Why wasQ‘t she like other girls? *‘It's a nice sister you've got, she sald to me,™ Theresa's brother remarked, indignantly, “and the room was full o’ people. ‘She can't talk; she can't eat. Better send her to Napa. She crazy.’” Every taunt, every prick of crude Itallan ridicule made the girl draw more closely into herself. Her mother was dead; her father under the in- fluence of the family's evil genius. If Theresa had been reticent, sad, timid before, she became utterly mute now. Her head and her heart ached. An animal would have seen her misery, and at least permitted her to suffer in silence. But to this Italian woman the sport of persecution had become precious. If Theresa stirred under the lash of her tormentor's vlclou?’ tongue it was an encouraging sign that blood had been drawn. If the girl crouched in dumb misery, Striving to be deaf and blind to the presence of the B unfeeling Italian shrew all the mare necessity for perseverance. For months Theresa endured this petty torture, her mental skin pierced with numberless tiny, poisonous darts. She was too sick, too humble, too forlorn to rebel. But the other morning, when Signora Rose blithely recom- menced the attack, started again playing on the delightful string of this sick girl’s tortured nerves, Theresa turned in desperation upon her tormentor, as a suffering animal will at last expend all its feeble energy in a last pro- test against being disturbed in its ageny. Theresa fell upon Signora Rose, the bane of the Servent household, and beat her. Long disuse and a natural timld ignorance had deprived Theresa of woman's natural weapon, the ITO}l‘lgue‘ 'Bnd in this extremity she used her fist like a man. ere's to eresa! But Theresa had to reckon now with. Servent; Servent, the brutal father, who had Ingeniously manufactured a whip of wire, which hung in threatening significance prominently before the pretty dark eyes of this 19- year-old daughter, to flog whom the instrument of torture had been in- vented. Servent, who had demanded and received every penny of this poor child’s labor during the summer months when the canneries were open; swallowing in his capacious paternal pocket the ten or twelve dollars a week Theresa earned, and never buying for her a single article of clothing, never permitting her the luxury of a dime of pocket money out of her own. “She have one pair of shoes the father bought,’” says Theresa’s brother. “The res’ her clothes she have when she come from Italy, one year now."” Servent was infuriated. You wlill observe that fathers whose consciences are least active as to paternal responsibility are the greatest authorities on the filial respect a daughter owes the author of her being. Servent himself works from time to time as odd jobs present themselyes; ?u: he has all the Italian's complacent optimism as to the present and the uture. After the canneries were closed Servent had found a place as maid for Theresa. But the girl was too ill to work, and besides she was in sensitive, pitiful fear that her ignorance of the art of cooking would be discovere Her own incapacity frightened her more than the thought of her father's wire whip. She came back home and Servent, trebly infuriated at her sick- ness, her long, dumb forbearance and her sudden revealing of a spark of his own temper; above all by her failure to add to the family’s revenue—decided to be @one with her. 3 On Thursday at noon a wagon drove up to the Servents’ door. Into it Theresa was bundled. She did not object. She is as humble, as amenable, as timid as a frightened lamb. They told her that they were taking her to the doctor's. So they drove along and presently alighted. Theresa Servent was put into a cell with a tiny window and left alone. This girl cannot speak a word of English. She waited and submitted in helpless, ignorant docility to being detained. Just once, though, during the long afternoon, she spoke a word in Itallan to a woman there, whose language she had recognized as her own, asking that her brother be sent for. Then she subsided into mute, patient waiting. alf past six in the evening, Angelo Servent, his day’s hard work He saw hi ster. Vhere am 1?' ¢ ays to me. ‘What is this place? doctor * Young Servent told the story vesterday. “1t is a prison, I tell her, and that her father he say she crazy. “*Oh, what a father I got!' she say. She cry like—like anything. She say she die if she stay there all night, and I say she no stay there the night."” & Nor did she. The people at the Receiving Hospital permitted Theresa to to her brother's home for the night, and together they appeared be- Friday morning, when the girl was discharged. s listening while her brother tells of their father’s as- sionally she answers a question in her soft Italian, and lowered eyes. She's ashamed, miserably ashamed. Her lips have a sorrowful droop and her eyes the pleading gentleness of a dog’s begging for sympathy, or the next best thing—to be let alone. Angelo Servent, the brother, is in a passion of resentment; his broken English being all too inadequate to express his rage. ‘Where is the tounding cruelty. C but as a rule she sits wth drooping shoulders “If she go back to the father,” he says, *“‘she no more my sister. She stay with me. If she can work—she crazy to go to work—all right. If she no can, it take no more for two to eat than for one. I no more respect for father like that: put girl In crazy house ’'cause she seeck, n’' ’cause that bad woman she josh—josh—josh all the time, no give girl a rest. that girl she 'fraid, so 'fraid my father she shake when she see him.’ So Angelo Servent, senior, has disciplined his daughter clear out of his world. She was ill, a nulsance, no longer a provider, no longer a source of revenue. The Indians stone the sick and bury the old alive. T've even heard that those among them who were hopelessly ailing begged that their agony might be shortened, asking themselves to be buried, knowing that their time had come. But I never hcurd of a stoic, civilized or barbarian, who craved a mad-house; nor ever before of a father who chose Napa as a solution for the dilemma of a_sick daughter who could not work. Theresa Servent has worked since she was a child of 6. After her own mother died she worked about the house and the farm near Genoa as a grown woman might. At 16 she was sent from home to toil for strangers. And since she has come to America she has earned many a dollar. It no more occurs to this Italian girl to shirk work than it does to a patient, mild-eyed beast of burden to revolt against its two-footed master. Theresa Servent will go to Work again, when time and immunity from worry and a little medical treatment shall restore her health. And in this Will lie Servent's greatest punishment. For of the good American dollars this thrifty, patient, humble worker will earn, not one will ever again find its way into the pocket of the brutal, passionate, despotic Italian peasant, e MIRIAM MICHELSON.

Shops Which Can Be Located by Use of the Qlfactory Organs. The newly organized Tailors’ Union, which is known as local No. 2 of the Journeymen Tailors' Union of North America, Is determined to bring about a better state of things in the taloring line if possible, and proposes to do this mainly through the introduction of the union label. E. S. Christophersen, who organized this union was present at the Friday meeting of the Labor Council, and in a short address to its members made some assertions which startled the members. “If many of you could see the places where your clothing is made,” he said, “you would think twice before wearing it, and In speaking of this I refer not only to the ready-made goods, but the prod- ucts of someé of the best custom tailors in the city. In organizing this new union it was my duty to ferret out all the tailor shops in this city, and many of them are the vilest of den After climbing two or three flights of stairs I would never doubt that I was in the vicinity of one of these sweatshops—the odor makes this evident at a distance of 100 feet in any direction— but the buildings are as a rule so dark al that it is-often difficult to find +he rdg:: in which the work is done after the shop has been located. These condii tions should net exist in any.city, and L was surprised to find that your Board o Health had not rooted them out long ago. In a few weeks our label will be tro- duced, and we can guarantee than anfi goods bearing it have been ma.nu‘facture under good sanitary conditions. In th‘e meantime I would suggest that m‘easulru; be taken to have all places in whic! clothing is ma?ulactured subjected to a igid investigation.” g ng}g, Chrls!%phersen's address was _fol- lowed by J. T. Ellsworth, president of the new union, who in effect reiterated his statements. E The Labor Council has been strength- ened during the past week by delegates from the fiofl?r-makers and Iron Ship- builders’ and the Tailors’ unions. A com- munication was received from the Amer- jcan Federation of Labor stating that Ben Tillett, the famous labor agitator, who has been ill for some time, is again able to go about his work and will visit this coast some time in April. when his services will be at the disposal of -any union to give a seriee of lectures on the labor question. 5 A meetln§ will be held at 102 O’ Fn_rull street on Monday evening, March 7, to which all tailors are invited. Its object l!do strengthen the new orgaenization of taflors. — e Opening Art Exhibit. The first exhibit of paintings for the sea- son will take place in the Hopkins Art Institute to-morrow evening, when a number of paintings and sketches by J. Greenbaum will be placed on exhibi- tion. The San Francisco Art Association, under whose auspices these exhibitions are given, have decided to dispense with the regular spring exhibition, and have individual displays by local artists from time to time untfl next fall, when the big exhibition will be held. Mr. baum has placed 132 paintings, sketches, studies and drawings in the spacious gal- leries, the majority of which- were done on his recent tour,of Europe, and his showing s a very creditable one.
