10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1898 IN THE SERVICE OF THE FLAG. e JuRNED CVER WsrRs rkom THE AETOQ PEAK The Tugs Vigilant and Active Turned Over to the Government. The Fearless to Follow. HE two steel tugs Vigilant and Active are lying alongside the Union Iron Works wharf awalting the dis- 1 position of the Government. They were n over there yesterday, and then their captains and crews came home in Peterson’s launch wearing an air of sorrow and dejection that was painful to see The first official news of the change that had been m came to the men yester- day morning when they were told to take all their belongings ashore and to strip the boats of all property not belonging to them or necessary in their navigation. Folsom-street wharf resembled a house- moving during a good part of the morn- ing, and then the crews set to work to haul out the big towing hawsers and ~mooring line: The Active got off first, and as she left the berth she had occuplied so long her whistle wailed mournfully and the sur- rounding steamers and tugs answered in the same minor key. Soon after she had gone the Vigilant was ready, and she, too, blew three melancholy toots as she left the crowd on the dock behind her. As ed the Sea Queen, of the Red she was saluted and she woke the hoes in answer; the Reliance, with a ip in tow, did the honors, and the Red- mond farther up the bay joined in. St It was not a happy going away at all. The men on the boats were silent and glum. The boats had been their homes, they said, and it was like leaving home to go away from them. Captain Silovich of the Vigilant declared he would stick by his boat if they would only let him. I don’t care if she does go to war,” he said, “they will want some one to run her,’and I know her and she knows me, and I'll go along with her if they will let me.” There was no ceremony. The boats were tied to the wharf and then the men went home. The Fearless will follow them when she arrives here. What the Government is going to_do with the two boats and the Fearless when she comes In Is a source of much specu- lation along the water front. They may be made into dispatch boats or they may be made into patrol boats, or they may be put In the torpedo service. Lieutenant Capp, the naval officer at the Union Iron Works, who took charge of them, de- clares 'he does not know the intention of the Government regarding them. He made a careful inspection of them as soon as they were securely moored to the wharf, but he said the Government had not yet made known what the boats would be used for In case of emergenc; “They are only makeshifts as war ves. sels anyway,” he sald. “They were not built for such service, and so cannot be expected to be as good as boats specially designed., In view of that fact they may not be used at all, or only in case of emergency.” It is generally supposed that the tugs crew than they have been carrying; that a speed wheel will be put on in place of the propeller designed for strength in towing, which they now carry, and that they will be supplied with small rapid fire guns. They have coal capacity enough to make' them valuable as patrol boats or scouts, and then, too, they will make excellent transports for men and supplies when speed is a matter for con- sideration. The two tugs are moored side by side at the Iron Works wharf and are in charge of the two first mates, William Olsen of the Vigilant and Michael Downey of the Active. They will be retained as boat- keepers until the two boats are refitted or are ordered to the island. It is prob- able, however, that any refitting to be done will be done at the Union Iron ‘Works. The dock where the tugs used to lie looks deserted, and the men of the tug- boat office and around the wharves are beginning to talk seriously of war. The purchase of the two boats and their sud- den departure are the first real touch of war that has been felt here, and added to the sentiment that a sailor always weaves around his ship is a realization of the errand upon which they have gone. Despite this, the men want to go with them, and it is a safe wager that they would stay by the tugs as much because they have been their homes as because they have gone Into the service of the ag. PRECOCIOUS ART OF BABY SCHRANY Extraordinary Piano Playing of the Child Vir- tuoso. Marino’s Farewell Benefit—Midweek Notes of the Concerts and Playhouses. Paloma Schramm, the child pianist, gave her first public performance in San Fran- cisco yesterday afternoon in the Sherman & Clay Hall. The audience was selectly small, but the varied feats of the infant virtuoso in execution and improvisation were prodigious. On a Steinway grand of full size, altered only by a simple at- tachment for elevating the pedals, she played Mozart’'s D minor Fantasie, a| Rubinstein romance, a Bach gigue, a noc- | turne and a waltz by Chopin,a littlegroup | of her own compositions (each one | the | and several other standard | “opused” with fine particularity on programme), ADVERTISEMENTS.

Perhaps the most re- markable feat of the afternoon was her improvisation on the theme selected at random from several submitted by the audience. She worked the four bars of the unharmonized melody into quite an imposing bit of music, giving to it several moods and keys and preserving the char- acter and consistency to the very last. Little Paloma seems to have not only the temperament and instinctive feeling, but a fair knowledge of the science of music, and it is good news to hear that her present ‘‘season” is limited to _two months, after which she will go to Leip- sic, finish her education, and (unless she should go the way of so many prodigies) live up to the brilliant promises of her childhood. Paloma is a child even on the concert platform. Among the flowers given her during yesterday’'s recital was a box of candy, which she hugged to her heart with the most convincing delight. Mrs. Florence Scarborough sang Heart at Thy Sweet Voice,” son and Delilah”, the song of the mother from the “Prophet” and an encere piece, her big contralto sounding to especial ad- vantage in the dramatic aria of Meyer- beer's. Assisted by Mrs. Scarborough, little Miss Paloma will give two more re- citals in the same hall, to-night and to- morrow afternoon. In the evening the Sherman & Clay Hall was the scene of another interest- ing concert, a benefit given to young Marino, the violinist. arino was in splendid form and fairly surpassed him- | self in the D minor concerto of Wie- niauski, playing with much more staying power and generalship than usual. The ad’s talents are beyond question and it is to be hoped that enough money will be realized out of last night's concert and the other one which will be given Sat- urday afternoon in the same hall to en- able him to stay abroad for a couple of years longer and come home a credit to himself and to the town. Considerable interest was centered in the ’cello solos of Ernest Lent, who, it will be remem- bered, was quite a failure at a recent symphony concert. Mr. Lent's perform- ance last night of the Chopin E-flat noc- turne and a Popper tarantelle proved-con- clusively that his previous disaster was only the result of stage fright. He is not a particularly emotional ‘cellist and his tone lacks distinction, but he plays discreetly and with an easy rellabfiliy that should be valuable in concerted work. Mrs. Carr and Abramoff will as- sist at Saturday’s concert. From all present accounts Melba's sea- #on at the California will- be limited to three performances, on Tuesday, Thurs- day and Saturday evenings of next week. As already announced the operas are‘The Barber,” “Traviata” and “‘Lucia.” The sale of seats commences this morning. The line of ticket-seekers will have formed long before this paper is printed, as the seating capacity of the California Theater is almost as limited as is the length of Melba’s season. The warm weather has depressed busi- ness at all the playhouses. The Baldwin continues Hoyt's _tenderloin piece, “A Stranger in New' York,” the rest of this week and all of next, Ferris Hartman following with the first' American produc- tion of an Inglish farce called *“The Purser.” Ned Harrigan in “Old Laven- de':;' has only tlhlu we?k gt the California, Where a popular prices production of “Trilby” will be given after the opera is over. The Orpheum has the best vaude- ville bill of months in Hyde’s Comedians. The Grand is showing some fine scenery and the usual earnest actin, in the “Pavements of Paris.” The Tivoli con- tinues ‘‘Sinbad” until further notice. “The Strange Adventures of Miss Brown'" has taken so well at the Alcazar that probably it will be continued another week. An excellent farce follows—The Gay Parisians,” for which L. R. Stock- well has been specially engaged. ‘‘Shore Acres"” closes at the Columbia with the Sunday night performance, giving place to Maria Jansen in “Delmonico’s at Six.” An untamable lion by the name of Wal- lace is one of the lively attractions at the Chutes. The programme for _to-mor- row’s symphony concert at the Tivoli in- cludes Schubert’s finished symphony and Urban's symphonic poem, “The Ratcatch- er of Hammelin.” —_———— Ladies’ tatlor-made suits; latest designs; we i oweoll W fptter, 1, § & % | ona was killed, THAT WATERED LOT OF WHISKY A Gauger’s Certificate That May Have Been Forged, Here or in Kentucky. Agent Thomas Thinks That There May Have Been Some Moonshine Work in the Matter. Special Internal Revenue Agent Bert Thomas yesterday sent the Collector of he Second District of Kentucky a state- ment of the seizure and detention of a large number of barrels of whisky from saloons in this city, as exclusively an- nounced in yesterday's issue of The Call. He had discovered some more than or- dinarily suspicious circumstances in con- nection with the ten barrels placed un- der detention in A. M. Fink's saloon at the corner of Pine and Market streets. The gauger's certificate is undated, and purports to have been signed by “A. S. Rutlidge, gauger tor the Second District of Kentucky,” the whisky being the product of the Queen Distilling Company. There is something else besides the date that is wrong with the certicate, and the Internal Revenue Collector for that dis- trict has been asked to investigate that particular lot of whisky. As found by Agents Thomas and Towne in Mr. Fink's cellar, the liquor had been reduced with yater to 9 proof, the certi- ficate cauing for 107 proof. It is clear to the officials that there has been fraud somewhere and that a violation of law has taken place. It is probable also that Mr. Fink was bunkoed, if he himself aid not water the liquor, for he has paid for liquor of 107 proof and received only % proof for his money. It {s possible also that without Mr. Fink's knowledge the original contents upon which the tax was paid have been removed, and the stamped barrels refilled with moonshine illicitly distilled whisky properly reduced and rec- tified without troubling the Government officials about such little matters as li- censes, taxes, etc. This is the most serious aspect of the case, for it may be evidence of an illicit djstillery in this revenue district. The seizures and de- tentions were made by one of Collector Lynch’s deputies under direction of Spe- | clal Agent Thomas. Mr. Lynch said yes- terday that the matter had not yet been reported to him, and that he could take no action in the premises until the agents filed their reports. In fact, he said that he was not aware officially that any seiz- ures had been made. —————— In the Divorce Court. Judge Troutt yesterday granted L.

M. Hart Lost His Cook and Brought Out the Police. Louis Yun Sing Made His Disappear- ance Because He Owes Money. Mark Hart has lost and found his Chi- nese cook,and thereby hangs a tale of m- pressment, shanghal and nocturnal wan- derings on the water front with a cordon of policeinavain endeavor to recover pos- session of a son of Asia. Louis Yun Sing is the Celestial in question, and his mys- terious disappearance has been the cause of it all. Without a warning of any kind Louis Yun Sing left the Hart household on California street late in the afternoon last Monday, and since that time a care- ful and well planned search was in- stituted. Yun Sing did not disappear of his own free will. When he left the California street house he was escorted by another Asiatic, who called for the very purpose of carrying the servant away with him. The fact of Yun Sing's leaving the Harts 5o uncere- moniously is attested by neighbors who saw the two Chinese walk down Califor- nia street together. They also say that Yun Sing was very excited, shouting vo- ciferously and gesturing like a man who saw impending evil ahead, but could not avoid it. At the time of his departure Yun Sing was in the midst of his culinary dutfes. A dinner was in preparation and that is as far as it got, for when the head of the house returned home for the evening he found his wife and children scattered about, searching for the departed. Louis Yun ' Sing was nowhere to be found. Dinner at the Hart house- hold was late that night, and it was hardly finished before Mark Hart determined to report the matter to the police, and with their co-operation at- tempt to track his elusive chef de cui- sine. The day following Hart was surprised by a visit from two sons of Confucius. With weird and mysterious manner they inquired if he had lost nis cook. They knew all about it and out of mere friend- ship to Louis iun Sing said they would acquaint Hart with full details of his abduction and impressment. Their story is this: Louis Yun Sing owed an- other yellow skinned Oriental $18 and had at’all times refused and still refuses to pay the same. For this persistent de- termination to avoid his obligations the bold and bad man of the story devised a scheme which has proved to be a coup de grace. He fell upon the credulous Yun_Sing at an opportune moment and by the cogency of his reasoning induced the latter to go with him. The two in- formers say that Yun Sing was carried aboard the Indiana, a steamer that will | sail for Alaska this morning. The cred- tor is according to their story the boss of a Chinese gang got together for Yu- kon service. After listening to this plausible tale Hart notified the police. A sergeant was delegated to accompany him in the search of the steamer lying at Spear street, and on Tuesday evening the Chi- nese hunters took the fleld. At the Har- bor Police Station an additional force was attached to the squad and the hunt proceeded. The party went direct to the Indiana, and the officer in charge of the moonlight expedition demanded admittance. This was refused, but when the badge of au- thority was displayed sesamic results followed. All through the ship the party searched with Hart in vain. To his re- peated cries of “Louis” no response was gi\'en. and after a little blasphemy the b isappointed band returned to the Har- or Police Station, weary and whart stained. Yesterday morning Hart received an- other visit from a Chinese. The tenor of his story is that Louis Yun Sing was on the ship, but that the boss, expecting a search, sequestered him in Chinatown, and that just before the ship is to sail to-day the shanghaied Celestial will be carried aboard. Late yesterday afternoon Mr. Hart, with two police officers, found the China- man locked in a room back of a butcher shop on Dupont street. He was released and taken home. He said he had been on board the Indiana, but had been sent ashore when the search w made. REFUSES 10 BE EVICTED Interesting Fight for the Pos- session of Four Rooms on Turk Street. Mrs. Fannie L. Matson, a Photogra- pher, Holds the Fort Against All Comers. A stubborn fight has been in progress for some months for the possession of four rooms in the lodging-house at 6 Turk street. Mrs. Fannie L. Matson, a photo- grapher, holds the fort, and defies the proprietor to evict her. , Since last August the flght has been going on in the Superior Courts, and an eviction,suit is now pending before Judge Bahrs. The fight has temporarily been transferred to the Police Court, and Judge Joachimsen will to-day have the oppor- tunity of hearing both sides of the story. It seems that Dr. C. F. Rea, the then proprietor, gave Mrs. Matson notice to quit last August, but she refused to do so. Then the doctor would not allow the ele- vator to run to her flat, and she brought suit against him for $10,000 damages, while ne brought suit for ejectment | against her for non-payment of rent. | Since then Mrs. Matson has not paid any rent and will not give up possession. February last the doctor sold out to Mrs. J. L. Fisher, and she immediately gave Mrs, Matson notice to quit, but it had no effect, and when Mrs. Fisher posted up bills, “Rooms to rent.”’ they were prompt- 1y torn uown. Then she Swore out a war- rant for the arrest of “John Doe” for malicious mischief, but he has not yet been found. Tuesday evening a tenant went to take possession of the rooms and employed two men to help him in removing Mrs. Mat- son’s furniture. A watchman employed by Mrs. Matson was overpowered, so her attorney alleges, and some of her erfects were thrown out into the hallway. Sne complained to the police, but, as it was a case for the civil courts, they ueclined to interfere. Yesterday morning lurs, Matson swore tp complaints for the arrest of Dr. Rea, Mrs. Fisher, Frank Has- kell and C.F. Repen on a charge of forci- ble entry and detainer. They were ar- rested and released on cash bail. Now a warrant will be sworn out for the arrest of Mrs. Matson on a charge of perjury for swearing to the complaints against Dr. Rea and Mrs. Fisher, as they were not present at the time the effects were | removed. | —e————— Crocker Lodge, A. 0.

HALE’S “8an Francisco’s Most Progressive Dry=Goods House,” S37-239-241-943-945-247 MARKET STRERERT —_— ANNA'S FINERY IS THREATENED Attachment Out Against Mille. Held for a Laundry Bill. Sued for $8 88 for Cleaning Various Articles of Apparel, Including Hosiery and Gloves. Anna Held—the star of the milky way —is in distress and unless some one of her devoted admirers comes to her assistance Anna may have to divorce herself from some of her American dollars. Not many of them, but enough to cause her a severe spasm of anguish, for Anna loves the American dollar five times better than she does the franc of her native land and a hundredfold more than the unost tav- ored of her devotees. ‘Who among the throngs who watched the entrancing Parisenne pirouette about the stage of the Baldwin, lavishing her smiles upon all with distracung impar- tiality, would have imagined she was the victim of a remorseless creditor? But such was the case, and although Anna has bidden farewell to the Golden Gate and has got as far as Oakland on her return east, she is still pursued by the haunting fear that she will have to yield up $8 95 with a few dollars addi- tional for costs, etc. And it looks as though Anna's fears were not without cause, for Anna has been sued, sued for $§ % for the cleaning of her clothes. Norah Clifford and C. L. Snow, com- pr‘sing the firm of John F. Snow & Co., are the people who are making life a burden for the divine Held. In a com- plaint filed in the Justice Court yester- day they allege that on the 4th of the present month they entered into an agree- ment with the Queen of Vaudeville whereby they were to renovate certain articles of wearing apparel enumerated as follows: One satin dress, one pair of tights (quality not stated), three pairs of silk hose, one hat, three feathers, three pairs of shoes and fifteen pairs of gloves, said lot to be duly scrubbed, laundered, etc., for the sum of $8 95. This, according to the complaint, was satisfactory to the defendant, and the refurbishing nrocess was properly performed and the articles returned to their owner on April 10, but she then and has since persistently re- fused to pay the bill, although repeatedly asked to do so. As Anna has completed her engagement here and last night was in Oakland, steps were taken to make a forcible levy on her goods and chattels, and for that purpose an attachment was taken out both here and in Oakland. The plaintiffs are de- termined, and Anna will have to skip around very smoothly to prevent the officers from getting nola of Rer effects. OAKLAND, April 13.—Anna Held caused the police and Sheriff’s office a lively chase to-night. About 7 o'clock a Mr. Sabin, representing the Bushnell Photo- graph Gallery, appeared at the gmlice sta- tion and told Captain Carson of his woes. He said his firm had loaned the Held company while in S8an Francisco a valua- ble picture, and they had gone off with it. He asked for a warrant for petty lar- ceny or anything that would recover the flclure. ‘This could not be issued, as Miss eld’s manager, Slegfried, said the tak- ing of the picture was a. mistake and that if the photograph man went to the prop- erty car in West Oakland he could get it. The car was visited, but no picture was found and it was learned that it is in a car that is now nupgoaed to be near Salt ake. This ended that incident. About the same time Deputy Sheriff O’Callaghan from San Francisco appeared at the Sheriff’s office with a summons authorizing the attachment of Anna Held’s property for the sum of $8 9 for a dye concern in San Francisco. The claim was in the name of Norah Clifford. The summons was served on the actress and a visit was made to the railroad yards to attach a few dollars’ worth of the actress’ property that so many columns have been written about. The manager calmly told the deputy that everything belonged to him; that not a gem or a stitch of clothing was the property of Miss Held, and the officer had to return with no satisfaction.
