THEE STATE SAVED MANY THOU- SANDS BY AN EXFOSE. Strenuous Efforts to Foist a Deal on the Harbor Commissioners by Unscrupulous Lumber Dealers. Harbor Commissioner Colnon's ears | must have tingled yesterday if there is | any efficacy in the old superstition of be- ing talked about. The unfavorable com- | ments hurled at him by citlzens who read | of his peculiar attitude toward the lum- | ber combine in The Call of yesterday must have certainly caused a warmth | about the organ of hearing of any one less calloused. It is eviden that the many exposures | made of his methods during the past few | | | months have had little effect, as in the | face of his fellow-Commissioners he at- | tempted to foist a contract on the State | which would have placed it at the mercy of a grasping contractor for the next necessitating a loss of many | s stated ye: terday the interference of Commissioners Harney and Herold averted the calamit: for which every one should be thankful. | During the past few years it has been the policy of a number of large lumber dealers to form a ‘“‘combine” and char; the Commissioners a price for lumbe nuch larger than ordinarily sold to out- siders. This went along unchecked up to a month ago, when the Wood Lum- ber Company broke away from the ‘“‘com- bine” and placed a bid before the Com- | missioners offering to furnish them with | lumber at $11 50 per thousand feet, much | less than they have been in the habit of ney, | paying. - He| "When the Jumber merchants were in- | ot found. burglars had | formed through the columns of The Call | R e A yurglars bad | that this had been done, they immec ot but | |y set about finding a means to eeded in gettin, y with | the daring deserter. T! ombine’ that the B. K. Wood Company would not | have sufficient lumber to fulilll the con- tract and must necessarily appeal to other | companies for assistance, and it was in- tended to_compel the firm to usual tariff of $14 50, although the market had depreciated. It was evident that the E. K. Wood Company became intimi- | dated, as it withdrew its bid, thus allow- | ing the fleld free to preferred companies. | As was stated yesterday, the S. E. Slade Lumber Company put in a bid offering to furnish the State with lumber during the | next six months at $14, which was vir- tually the old price.” Their offer might have been granted but for the fact that | jor Harney and Mr. Herold had been informed of the combin. manner of transacting business and much to the di appointment of Colnon the bid was r Jected. A little green pamphlet containing the | schedule of prices, which is carried by | members of the ‘‘combine” and other | dealers fortunate to possess them, gives the present open market price on the | same lumber the Harbor Commissioners | purchases at $13. This alone is conclusive | evidence that the amount asked in the | bid of the Slade Lumber Company was | $L90 in excess of the regular selling price. | It would seem that there is an out and out job to fleece the State fund, and the | sooner this is prevented the better it will be for thé¥citizens whose taxes go to ex- | pand it. If the Harbor Commissioners are | unable to protect themselves from the | grasping contractors it would seem that | the matter should be taken up by the | Grand Jury. And if the Grand Jury can- | not fathom the mystery it might be well | for Governor Budd to Instruct the Com- missioners as a matter of protection to the State and State funds to purchase their lumber through the San ~Quentin Prison. If this is done lumber can be had at a much cheaper rate than that fixed by the combine, thus saving the State from the grasp of money-making con- tractors. | For purposes of comparison it may not | be 11l timed to again refer to the table of prices quoted In yesterday’s article, As can readily be seen, the Simpson Lum- | ber Company, one of the combine, fur- nishes the San Quentin Prison with lum- ber at a less figure than is generally charged the Commissioners.

A TELEGRAPHIC BOOMERANG BUSINESS MEN REFUSE TO IN- DORSE THE ARMY OFFICER. | The Labor Unions and State Officials Take a Hand in the Inter- ests of White ‘Workers. An interesting condition of affairs has arisen out of the létting of contracts for | making uniforms for Uncle Sam's sol-| diers to contractors who have had and are | having the work done by Chinese. As| soon as the discovery was made that Chi- | nese were making these uniforms, while hundreds of white people are only too anxious to get the work, the matter was published in all of the local papers and even the papers of the entire State had something to say about the injustice of | the transaction. Nowhere was the letting | of the work to Mongolians more con- | demned than in the labor unions. Major Long of the local Quartermaster’s Depart- ment, who let the contracts in question, vas called to task, by public voice at , and he assumed the position that the contracts were let to white men and that he did not believe that the work was being done by Chinese. He further stip- | ulated that if such proved to be the case | he would cancel such contracts at once. It did not take very long to find where a goodly number of Chinese were engaged in the business. In the meantime the la- bor union folks asked the State Labor Commissioner to direct the attention of the officials at Washington to the injus- tice, which he did, addressing his letter to Congressman Maguire. The letter from | the California Labor Commissioner was sent to Secretary of War Russell A. Alger by Maguire, who made the following addi- tiol fufedetutadudugatutaatotatututatetel WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4, 155. Hon. Russell A. Alger, Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.—Sir: I am in receipt of the enclosed letter and newspaper clipping from San Francisco, to which I respectfully call your attention. The people of San Francisco have been enduring an unprecedented period of hard times, from which they have not yet recovered, and therefore feel ~reatly aggrieved that at €uch a time work required by their Government should be farmed out through un- patriotic contractors to Chinese labor, while they are excluded from the opportunity to share In the employment. I am sure that the state of affairs set forth by Labor Commis- | sioner Fitzgerald in the enciosed letter is con- trary to the intention of the Government, and I that you will be able to find a speedy and | satisfactory remedy for the injustice of Wwhich our people complain in_ the ‘matter. Yours respectfully, ~ JAMES G. MAGUIRE, M.

According to report Mr. Craig’s reply was to the effect that he would see the whole crowd in a hotter place than Ma- nila and Cuba combined before he would | allow any one to bulldoze him on such a proposition, adding that the depart- ment at Washington is a peg higher than any of the officers on this coast, and the first signs of carrying out the threat would be the signal for action that would have not & little effect with the depart- ment at Washington. S There was_still another point that ha to be attended to, and the Labor Com- missioner and his deputy made a tour of the Chinese quarter to see if the promise of the major to cancel contracts where Chinese labor is employed is being car- They found half a dozen or more places where soldiers’ garments are being made, although the telegram of Major Long would "indicate otherwise. The recent murder of Little Pete’s nephew also shows that the Chinese have the diers’ clothing. This Chinese would not enter the Mongolian pool to control the manufacture of this class of garments and his life paid the forfeit. It might be harsh to say that Major Long has a dead Chinaman on his hands, but some may be so uncharitable as to_ think so.

This fact, however, need cause no shudder to Mrs. Craven or her friends, as the mare's nest supposed to exist in the records and that did exist in the mind of the venerable head of the Police De- partment is not to be found. The second day's hearing in the case re- sulted in a defeat of the efforts of Attorney A. Ruef, who was appointed amicus curiae, or the court’s friend, during the trial of the action for the recovery of the books, to prevent a transfer, and the volumes, fourteen in number, were handed over to the School Department. inclined at first to deliver the books to the department, but the vigorous protest of Attorney Ruef, who contended that the had not been determined by the plaintiff’'s witnesses, resulted in a con- tinuance of the case for one day, that more evidence might be gathered. When the trial was resumed yesterday, Nellie Sullivan, cipal of the Mission Grammar School, was books as the property of the School Department to the satisfaction of the Detective Seymour, who was an interested spectator during the proceed- ings, immediately thumbed the leaves of the precious volumes, but evi- dence to prove that Mrs. Craven had falsely testified during the trial of the action brought against Mrs. Craven by the executors of the will of James G. Falr to quiet title to valuable property was not notoriously pres- ent. In but one instance did the books in any way bear out the theory of the inquisitive Police Department. On the date of September 24, 1894, the day on which Mrs. Craven stated that she was given the deeds to the cil will, the books show that Mrs. Craven was present at school at 8:45 in the morning. The figures plainly show that Mrs. Craven was on that day and at that hour, bpt superimposed over the figures is a large A, the abridged abbreviation of the word absent. Many other dates are mentioned by the po- lice, but the records fail to show that the startling theory advanced that mitted is based on facts, and before the light of investi- gation the theory is dissipated and leaves but a trace of suspicion behind. ® ot the The court was title to the property first vice prin- called.

Several of the prominent leaders made it their business to find who in the ranks of labor had called upon the major and given him their assur- ance, as representatives of labor, that workingmen were satisfled with what the had done when, as u fact, the unions are very much dissatisfied with his course. No one could be found who would father the responsibility for this assertion, and the conclusion reached was that this much was a misstatement. J. P. McCar- thy, a member of several labor organi- zations, made personal calls yesterday upon the presidents of the State Board of Trade nnx City Board of Trade. Accord- ing to the statement of McCarthy deni- als were vigorously made at both places of having indorsed anything Major Long had done or said. In fact, they had never been consulted or advised on the sub- ject, and they asserted they were against the employment of Chinese labor in mak- ing uniforms for Uncle Sam's boys. Somm(ulonsr Fitzgerald and Deputy Dam made a call upon Hugh Craig, presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce, who expressed his disapproval of the use made of the name of the Chamber of Commerce in very forcible language, add: ing that he did not indorse anything that Major Long had done.

Mr. Moore's comparative silence for the last few years has been due to his pre- occupation with his most serious and important work, which is now given to the public. This novel Is a masterly analysis of a conflict between art and the world on the one side and religion upon the other. Tho‘heme is developed with a penetrating sight Into motives, a grasp of character and a mastery of lit- erary technique which make *Evelyn Innes” a notable book. The action of the novel passes in large part in Londo: and Parfs. It is a story of the presen day, characterized by a vivid perception of the doubts and complex conditions of modern life. The musical motif which has so lar; a part in the development of the story is interwoven with others, | which in tueir unfolding show a rare subtlety and power of expression. Lucky Bargee. A Novel. By HARRY LANDER. 12mo. Cloth, $1 25. Mr. Lander's theme is out of the com- mon, like his treatment, which invests a realistic subject with picturesqueness and peculiar interest. His story offers a series of vivid sketches of life on a Thames barge, together with glimpses of unfamiliar phases of poor life in Lon- don. The plot is original, and the brisk action of the tale arrests and holds the reader’s interest. John of Strathbourne. A Romance of the Days of Francis I. By R. D. CHETWODE.
