A brother of the dead officer visited the prison last night to avenge his brother's death, but he was foiled. In company with Sheriff Henry Martin and Deputy Dan Martin, Farley vistted the prison. As is the usual custom Mr. Farley presented himself to the desk se e the prisoner.

The con- sequence was that Lyons was com- pelled to listen to a long argument from each, freely interrupted by the other, of his undeniable right to sign the complaint. Between the two he managed to get the story of nearly a tragedy turned into a comedy. About 10 o'clock Thanksgiving night Stanton and Alexander, while patrol- ling their beats near the entrance to the Presidio, heard a disturbance in the saloon of Al White, corner of Greenwich and Lyon streets. Entering they found a dusky volunteer of the Forty-ninth staggering under more than the black man's share of the white man’s Thanksgiving burden. He was making enough nolse for a regi- ment. The officers went up to him and told him he would better go to camp. “Got'ell,” shouted the volunteer, as he bent his head and started full tilt at the middle of -astle Garden,” with intent to butt that officer off the map. Btanton was too fast for him, h ever, and sidestepping he “landed wan on th' naygur's p'int.” Down and al- most out went the soldier, but he soon recovered and got on his feet.

HARBOR WORK AS A CLOAK Chairman Kilburn Gives a COhill to Discussion of Wharf Improve- ments by Making a Play for Dan Burns. e L R e e e e e asaasaaad ‘We, the undersigned, most respectfully petition that at an early date you convene in a special and extraordinary session the Legislature of the State for the purpose of enact- ing such legislation as is nec- essary to enable the Harbor Commissioners to immediately construct and extend such wharves, piers, bulkheads and breakwaters as in their judgment .are demanded by changed conditions and the rapidly increasing necessities of the commercial and ship- ping interests of the port of San Francisco. AR e e e s ] R e e e e e e e e e e % | ; Paris Kilburn, president of the Board of State Harbor Commissioners, tried a scheme yesterday to get the shipping and business men of the city to petition the Governor to call an extra session of the Legislature, and woefully failed in his efforts. Ostensibly the purpose of the ex- tra session is the enactment of laws per- mitting much needed improvements on the water front, but some of the gent'e- men who have a greater interest, In the odvancement of the city and the State than they have in the election of Dan Burns as United States Senator saw a Joker in the memorial and would not stand for It. Mr. Kilburn sprang his surprise at a meéting of the Harbor Commissioners nnd committees from the North Central Im- provement Association and the Chambar 0f Commerce, called for the pyrpose of | discussing the extension of the wharfags facilities along the water front and of arriving at the best plan to carry the im- | provements into execution. Matters were proceeding very satisfactorily, when the | extra s€ession petition ,was Introduced. | From that on until the adjournment there | was a chill Summing up the entire meeting, thers Wwas nothing tangible accomplished. The North Central Improvement Assoclation advanced one plan, the Chamber of Com- merce another, while the Harbor Com- missioners favored something almost en- tirely different from either. All three agreed, however, that if San Franciseo expects to hold her shlppin? trade and secure the Increase that rightfully belongs 10 her, she must build more wharves and Increase the capacity of the water front. It is expect that their different {deas as to how to accomplish the desired re- sults may become erystallized and the improvements be made. H. P. Sonntag, who acted as spokesman for the Improvément Assoclation, stated that what it wanted was the lengthening of the wharves to §00 feet, the completion of the seawall and the buflding of the belt road. He said that he had heard that the Governor was T)ln‘ to call an extra session of the Legislature to elect a United States Senator, and he suggested that Gage be requested’ to embody In Lis call the uncertaking of the proposed har- bor improvements. Secretary Painter, Mr. Strauss, E. Scott, T. C. Friedlander the same and several others spoke alon, lies, glving forcible expression to the absolute necessity of something being done. Their suggestion was that the Leg- :¢lature be asked to submit to the voters the issuanc: of bonds for the work. Commissioner Harney said that the work could be accomplished without rais- ing the funds by bonds, provided certain amendments were made in the existing laws. When the discussion reached this point Mr. Kilburn pulled from his pocket a roll of typewritten documents and dis. tributed them among the visitors, saying that as the Legislature would have to do something before the Harbor Commis- sloners could undertake the proposed Im- Erovemema, the proper thing to do would e to let the Governor know what was wanted. The document he distributed is 8rlmed above. Willlam Dolbeer of the hamber of Commerce said that the In- stitution he represented would not give the Governor an excuse for calling an extra session to elect Dan Burns under the cloak that it was being called for barbor Improvements. Mr. Kilburn be- ¢ame somewhat wrathy at. the opposi- tlon, “Do you want to say, the h marked, addressing Doibeer, *“that It would be a high crime to call an extra session to elect a Senator, but that if it OFFICER STANTON'S “PINK NAYGUR.” Dusky Soldiers Stagger Under the White Man’s Package and Shoot at Human Targets. R0 KO0, ROR0N the target. Up to date they have failed to locate the bloodthirsty pri- vate, who, it Is suspected, is safe in the guardhouse on a plain charge of drunk, from which he will not be freed until he is far on the seas on the way to the Philippines. The “pink naygur” was arrested last evening at 426 Pacific street by Ser- geant Christesen and positively identi- fled by his targets as being their man. He gave the name of Andrew Jackson. Officer Stanton’s “pink naygur”’ was not the only private of the Forty- ninth who carried a white man'’s pack- age Thanksgiving night and exhibited and shot deadly weapons within the city. Two—John Wyatt and John ‘Wood, of Company K—were before Po- lice Judge Conlan yesterday morning, the first to answer a charge of carry- ing concealed weapons, the second for discharging flrearms. Wood was ar- rested in Chinatown for shooting a re- volver, narrowly missing a passing Chinawoman and her baby. He said he didn’t know the weapon was loaded. j “I sw'ar to Gawd,” Jedge,” he sald, Jifting his left arm high in the air, “I didn’'t know dat gun was loaded; "deed 1 didn’t. I hope I nevah take dis arm down If dat ain't de truth.” John Wyatt told the court that the revolver the policeman found on him was his brother’s. He sald he had found that relative, also a private In the Forty-ninth, Intoxicated and quar- relsome in a saloon near the Presidio and had taken the weapon from him to prevent bloodshed and had put it away down his trousers leg out of sight. “I didn’'t want him to disgrace his- self, Jedge, by killin' nobody an’ den gettin’ kick outen de regiment foh whisky. Das why I had dat gun— hones’, Jedge.” The court sald he would decide their cases to-day, and they were taken back to prison. Private Willlam Ammors, also of Company K, was arrested at an early hour yesterday morning in front of the Hoffman cafe, just after he had taken four shots at the moon. He was doing a sand jig and flourishing his revolver, surrounded by a circle of yelling colle- glans, when flicer John onnor %&lher‘d him in. Ammors explained to 'olice Judge Graham yesterday that the weapon was not his and that he had not discharged it. He sald some of the collpge boys were just shooting a few highballs into the man in the moon and had handed him the revolver Just before the officer arrived on the Scene. Judge Graham believed him, but or- dered the police to return him his re- volver and allowed Ammors to depart. The remainder of the Forty-ninth will get away to-day and Monday for Ma- n'l'm.

The gentlemen in- terested expect to get together again some time next week and discuss the matter further. Music Hath Power.

More, who left an estate valued at $300,000, to file her final account on or before December 15.

How anxlous are you for improvements, anyhow? Are the interests of the front to be secondary to the interests of a few men who want to prevent the election ot a Senator?” There was no reply. Mr. Sonntag sald that if the sennmru proposition was em- bodled In the petition no one would si; it, but that if |t was left out and the water front business substituted every one would sign and the Governor would be free to ufid the Senatorship deal to his call if he saw fit to do so.

Dr. Kindheart, Doll Doctor. MRS, STANFORD WILL SOON BE AT PALOALTO Will Arrange Plan of Endowment. Attorney Russell J. Wilson, who has been in New York as the representative of Mrs. Jane L. Stanford, returned home vesterday. During his absence he has ar- ranged the big deal by which the immense holdings of Mrs. Stanford in the Southern and Central Pacific Rallroad companies were disposed of, although Mr. Wilson will not confess that he had much to do with it. “I cannot enter into a dlsculll;m of ”1““ nsaction,” sald Attorney Wilson, ‘be- :':flue I would prefer that Mrs. Stanford gave her own version of the affair. Before leaving New York Mrs. Stanford told me that she would leave for San Francisco and would come across the continent by easy stages. | understand that a great deal about the alleged sale of Mrs. Stan- ford's rallroad properties has been sent here from New York, but I am not suffi- clently acquainted with what has been published to say how much of it is cor- rect. As a matter of fact, although I have been asked scores of times, I have not yet conceded that Mrs. Stanford has sferred her stock. 5 ":"'All{hou h I am Mrs. Stanford’s attor- ney, 1 pald little attention to the manner in which her attitude may have affected the market or the possible bearing it may have had on the balance of the Southern Pacific stock. .‘\li’ client will be here in a 'ew days and wlll not spend the winter in the East. I have no doubt she will be leased to talk about her future plans on er arrival. Just what she may intend to do concerning the welfare of Stanford University I cannot state, and doubtless she will not outline her plans until after her arrival.” It was generally supposed that Mrs. Stanford would not come to the coast until after Christmas, and her early re- turn is taken to indicate that there are likely to be some interesting developments at Palo Alto. With the conversion of her immense rallroad holdings into cash Mrs. Stanford is now in a position to carry out her great desire to endow the institution founded by her late husband. Just In what manner she may decide to invest her fortune for the benefit of the university is a matter of great public in- terest and concern, and Attorney Wilson says that she has not divulged any of her infentions. Mrs. Stanford will arrive here the latter part of next week. KEMP A POOR WITNESS. Does Not Enlighten the Grand Jury on the School Scandal. It was expected that some sensational testimony would be given by School Di- rector Kemp before the Grand Jury yes- terday afternoon relating to the 32000 scandal in which his colleagues, Conlon and Gedge, were mixed up. It was thought that Kemp, who had been made the catspaw in the scheme to appoint a batech, of new teachers, was going to re- taliate on a certain member of the minor- ity who had promised to make the sev- enth vote necessary to pass the resolu- tions presented by Kemp at the last meeting of the board. This seventh mem- ber, whose rame I8 kept secret, had promised to vote with Kemp if the latter would give testimony against Conlon and Gedge before the Grand Jury. Expectations were not realized, how- ever, as Kemp proved to be a very poor and unwilling witness and he did not enlighten the Grand Jury to any great ex- tent as to the methods emplored by Con- lan and Gedge In exacting fribute from the stationery contfactors for favorab.e contracts. Kemp pleaded ignorance to a number of the questions put to him by the inquisitors. In the matter of the contracts awarded to_the Weber Furui- ture Com for $3900 for desks the y Grand Jury gathered from the replies of Kemp that the Suppiles Committee had awarded the contract to the company and that the rest of the board koew nothlag about the matter until after It was all over. Kemp, when asked what had be- come of the old desks, answered that he did not know, and, in fact, all of his swers were s0 unsatisfactory that t Grand Jury was obliged to excuse him. — e Child Was Not Poisoned. Anita Rothschild, a six-year-old child, died under suspiclous circumstances at her home, 815 Polk street, last Thursday. It was belleved that the child had eaten some cheap French candy which y i con- poison. Dr. Ward, who attended the case, could not positively determine the cause of death and the body was turned over to Coroner Hill. The remains had been embalmed, but Dr. Zabala nev- an autopsy and found that death had been due to pleural pneu- monia. —_———— SHANGHAIED FROM GUAM. | John Sablan Wants a Fortune for an Enforced Trip to the Northern | Whaling Grounds. | John Sablan, a native of the island of | Guam, filad a libel yesterday in the United States District Court against W, T.
