COLLISION WAS AVOIDABLE SOME POINTED QUESTIONS BY INSPECTORS. Investigation Into the Peters—Czar- ina Disaster Brings Out Inter- esting Testimony—Case Goes On To-Day. ’ Charles McNeil, pflot of the J.' D. Pet- ers, spent a very uncomfortable three- quarters of an hour yesterday morning in the office of the United States Local In- spectors of Steam Vessels. He was on the stand to tell what he knew about the collision with the Czarina, and he became | badly tangled when pressed to the wall by the questions put by Inspectors Bolles and He was obliged to admit that he had violated the pilot rules for avoid- | ing collisions, and his excuse was that if | he had obeyed the rule he would have gone ashore. Page & Eells appeared as attorneys for the California Navigation & Improvement Company, owner of the J. D. Peters, and Andross & Frank for the John D. Spreck- els & Bros. Company, owner of the Czarina. Hugh J. Corcoran, manager of the improvement company, and John D. Spreckels, for the owner of the Czarina, were present. Pilot McNell testified that the Peters left San Francisco at twelve minutes after 6 o'clock on the evening of the day of the accident and arrived at Point Blunt about 1S minutes later. He changed his course along shore and saw a red and a green light ahead. He could not see the approaching vessel and thought it was a scow or a schooner. At that time Cap- tain Holdsworth and the wheelman were | in the pilot house with him. On Captain Holdsworth remarking that the vessel was either a schooner or a scow, the wit- ness passed the glasses to the wheelman. That was before he blew the whistle. The wheelman said that it was a steamer. Pilot McNell blew the whistle about two minutes after he had handed the glasses to_the wheelman. Pilot McNeil in answer to a question by Captain Bolles, said the pilot rules re- quired that vessels approaching each oth- er head to head, should blow one whistle and pass each other port and port. T Was unable to obey the rule because he Wwould have had to turn on an angle of | forty-five degrees if he had blown one whistle. “Why didn’t you stop when you found that you could not give the right signal?” asked Inspector Bolles. “T blew two whistles,” was thgq reply. “Couldn’t you stop and blow the danger signal?”’ i “] didn't_think it was necessary,” was the remarkable answer of the witness. “The vessel had swung about twenty-five feet, or fully three points, when she struck the Czarina.” “You must have been heading consid- erably off your original course when you came together,” was suggested by In- spector Bolles. “] was headed in shore,” replied Mc- eil, “If you had put your helm aport when you saw the vessel on your starboad bow you would have passed her without strik- her,” said Inspector Bolles. cNeil explained that the Czarina was not coming in a straight line. She was on the starboard bow, and the Peters swung around and struck her on the port bow. In answer to a query by Mr. Corcoran the witness said that it required consider- able time to blow the whistle of the Pet- ers. It was necessary to let go of ‘the wheel with one hand and reach at arm’s length to work the whistle. He thought that if he had stopped to blow four whis- tles instead of stopping and backing the Peters would have gone farther forward and increased the danger. Captain W. Seaman of the Czarina tes- tified that when he caught sight of the red and green lights of the Pet- ers he blew one whistle, which was answered. Then he blew two whistles, which the Peters answered with one. A few seconds later the Peters blew two and he replied with one. He could not give the Peters any assistance because his own boat was injured by the collislon. As soon as he saw the lights of the Peters he put the helm to port. Just before the collision he saw the ‘freen light of the Peters on the starboar The afterncon session began with the examination of Thomas Holdsworth, cap- tain of the J. D. Peters. In his testimon; he showed the positions of the two collid- ing vessels at the time they struck, and safd that if the Czarina had laid alongside afterward the Peters could have been held up If lines could have been got out. There were no ssen- gers injured, but several Chinamen were drowned. In his opinion the six Chinamen would have saved themselves it they had not been stupefied h( opium, as they were warned by the chief engineer and had ample time to escape. He did not know whether the Czarina would have cleared the Peters had the captaln of the former passed to starboard. It was the custom if the tide was at ebb for a vessel going against the tide to hug the shore of the island and the other vessel to keep out in the fairway. At this point Inspector Bulger asked if custom took predominance over the Unit- ed States law, but Holdsworth was unable to answer the question and evaded it by savlng that the rules and regulations ere followed as much as possible. In re- Ply to a question by Attorney Frank, {oldsworth conceived the right of a steamer going up the bay against the ebb tide to take the gort side on meeting an- other vessel, aithough the rule is when two vessels meet head on ther shall pass port to port. Holdsworth claimed had they followed the rule the Peters would have been cut in two. He further testified thatas the Czarina was sighted the Peters blew two whistles, which were answered by one from the Czarina after a lapse of flve or six seconds. This was repeated and then the crash came. Witnesses were called to substantiate the latter statement and the first one, Vincent Lasuvilla, testified to the same effect. William Bulson, a passenger, and Dan Kennedy, bow watchman of the Peters, also gave testimony in regard 10 the blowing of the two whistles by that vessel and the response of one by the Czarina. A. M. Hay, wheelman of the Peters, thflu%h( that if either vessel had stopped and backed and blew four whistles the collision would not have occurred. The investigation will be resumed this morning in the rooms of the Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers in the Appraisers build- ing at ¢ o'clock. EMPOR:UM DOLL FETE. Large Crowds of Children WVisit It Each Day. The great doll family is having its day at the Emporium. A grand fete is the oc- casfon, and dells of all descriptions, from the little, black woolly headed baby to the rich child’s ‘‘darling,” participate in the silent proceedings. The scene of the fete is a gorgeous one, and hundreds of Ehople view it each day. The room which as been allotted to the dolls is fitted up To the left representing d Wo- as an immense fairy grotto. are a number of booths scene_from ‘‘Cinderella,’ e man Who Lived in a Shoe,” “Red Riding Hood” and “Noah’s Ark."” There is also a theater in which the dolls compose the audience and talent. In the center of the room is a miniature village, through which electric and steam cars rush and where mechanical soldiers and fire de- partments guard the dolls’ lives and prop- erty. The seenes in all the booths are novel and unique, and have been arranged with great taste and at considerable cost. —_——— Hardtmuth's “Koh-I-Noor” lead pencil will outlast three others.

Christiansen of 209 1lis street had been workl&g for tdward Gartland, a coal dealer of 632 Post street, and he béecame angry because his employ- er refused to let him use the telepgone. In order to get revenge Christiansen went to Gartland's stable and began to stab one of the horses with a pitchfork until the blood ran in streams. The brutal act was witnessed by a Mr. Wilkie, who says that he will swear to a warrant for the man's arrest. THE TALLANTS HAVE RETIRED FROM BANKING Bought Out by Crock- er-Woolworth. A MILLION THE FIGURE THE NEW CONCERN TAKES ALL CURRENT ACCOUNTS. Successful Close of a Half Century of Unfailing Prosperity—Cashier ' McKee to Go With the Business. As a bulwark of San Francisco’s finan- cal fortress the Tallant Banking Company has ceased to exist. Its extinction began on Saturday last, when one of the big- gest banking deals in the city’s history was closed, and as a result of it the Crocker-Woolworth Bank assumed all of the liabilities of the retiring concern and accepted something like $1,000,000 of Its assets as a balance against the debts. The deal is in no wise an amalgamation. The stockholders of the .allant concern retaln the greater portion of the bank's property, and as soon as the many mat- ters in connection with the transfer of current accounts to the Crocker-Wool- worth people are disposed of a dividend will be declared and the many valuable properties and holdings accumulated by the Tallants during nearly fifty years of successful business will be divided pro rata among them. There is no hint given out that the transfer to the Crocker-Woolworth people was forced by financial reverses or in- ternal dissensions of any kind. According to the statements of President Austin C. Stubbs, Vice President Frederick W. Tal- lant and Cashier J. Dempster McKee, the reason for dissolution is that in the past few years the interests of the owners have become so great and so widely a- versified and scattered that the time and attention the business warranted could not be given it, so it will be closed out, that more conslderation can be given by the individual stockholders to their sepa- rate interests. The Tallant Banking Company, incor- orated, was the outgrowth of the private ganklng business organized by John D. Tallant in 1850. It was a successful insu- tution from the beginning, and pros serity was augmented in 1856, when John McKee became a partner and brought with him the business of a large clientage. It flourished as a private banking insti- tution until 1891, when it incorporated with a capital of $1,000,000, of which $500,- 000 was paid up. The incorporators were John D. Tallant, 500 shares; ¥. W. Tallant, 500 shares; John Dempster McKee, son of D. J. Tallant's first partner, 4% shares, and Kirkham Wright. John D. Tallant acted as president of the new company until January of ’97, when he was obliged to retire from act- ive business on account of an unfortu- nate mental affliction that overtook him while on a business trip to New York Ll;l\}\.l.flr\ C. Tubbs took his place in the business and the other officers were Fred- erick W. Tallant, vice president; J. Demp- ster. McKee, cashier, and Kirkham Whiiae Siiecte Megotiated the deal that was consummated in _the assumption by the Crocker-Woolworth Bank of all of the Tallant Company’s_current accounts. William H. Crocker, senior partner in the Crocker institution, was seen yester- day evening just before he left for Bur- lingame. In reference to the deal Mr. Crocker said: “We found the affairs of the Tallant Bank in splendid condition and were really surprised at the magnitude of its busi- ness. Its management, ever since its or- anization, nearly half a century ago, has een able and conservative, and its stand- ing has always been of the highest. This was due to the management of Mr. Mc- Kee, who was so long president of the bank, and to the ability of his son, John Dempster McKee, who, as cashler, has been in charge of the bank for some time. Mr. McKee now comes to the Crocker- Woolworth Bank, where he will hold a position of respnnslblh?’. ‘We were really surprised at the magnificent condition of the bank and its business. “The transefer of the accounts was be- gun on Saturday and completed only yes- terday, and we are ready now to receive the hundreds of solid business men who have for so long carried accoints with the old company. We find that a large portion of the Tallant Company's busi- ness was among_ the commission men, wholesalers and those doing business with the shipping, and this fact, coupled with the profitable condition of the company's affairs, is a source of much gratification to us.” SUMMERBERG ALLEGES FRAUD Seeks to Prevent Payment of Bills on Street Lighting Contracts.

This the plaintiff seeks to declare illegal. Another of the Chinese Ring. M. A. Brown, formerly a clerk in the law office of M. M. Foote, an attorney largely interested in Chinese immigrant cases, was arrested by the United States Marshal yesterday on a charge of aid- ing and abetting the. illegal landing of a Chinese passenger. Brown was released on furnishing a bond in the sum of $500. His case will be called after United States District Judge de Haven shall have ren- dered an opinion in the case of Shew Hom, a Chinaman, held for trial on a similar charge. In both cases the Chinese immi- Framu were refused a landing, and the ssue has been raised by the attorney for Shew Hon that when there is no landing there can be no aiding and abetting the same. —————— Ladles’ taflor-made sults.
