Warren and the young clubman, Toblas J. Kelly, who was her | escort on t bie trip on the ba Carl_F. ey ker, residing at 4145 Twenty-third street, San Frau- cisco, was the first to tell the story of the t | drowning t ud | three comp w y | the silent trag, The othe | Lesterhan of Chesley street | merford of 2135 Folsom street renaud ourth street, se four starl eet wharf in the Whi; wind, the queer craft formerly owned the late E.

Th under the lee of Hospital Point, Angel Island, and started to repair damag t was while thus engaged that they nessed the sinking of the little craft witl a man and_a woman, supposed to have bee Warren and Kelly, aboard. |8 : “It all happened so quickly that it is hard to realize that we may have seen those two young people drowned not half a mile from where their friends were. We started out from Fourth-street wharf early Sunday morning. the heads for a while and then as the wind was blowing so stiff we put the boat about and ran into the smooth water un- der the lee of Hospital Point Island. You can see what that sou'- wester was like when I tell you that our jib was blown clean away as we came down the bay, and our gaff snapped like a pipestem just as we came wind off Tiburon. We ran down the Rac- coon Straits to Hospital Cove and put in there to lie by till we could repair the damages. ‘““We had not been there more than.an hour or s0 when Lesterhan called my ‘at- tention to a catboat on the opposite side of the straits, off Lyfords Tower Point. She was acting so strangely that we ali quit our work to watch what the fellow handling her was trying to do. As she rounded the Tower Point she headed in for Lyfords Cove. We got a good view of her then and I saw a4 man and a wo- man in the stern. She ran so close in shore that we all thought she would run aground. I think the man was trying to get in under the lee of the point. Then all of a sudden Lesterhan hollered, ‘Down!" “We all looked at where we last saw her and she was gone. It was then some time between 12 and 2 o'clock. Then a yacht, 1 think t'he Paul, hove in sight, heading up the river. We hailed her and tried to tell her crew what we had just | seen and get them to go over there. They | thought we were joshing, 1 guess, and | stood right on. We could not get over be- cause of our broken gaff. Right after that a yacht and a gasoline launch went through the straits. They evidently saw nothing, for they kept right on. I wanted had seen. Lesterhan said, ‘No; it might have been a false alarm, and if she had gone down we would see about it in the newspapers.’ 1 did not think much mora of it tiil to-day wnen I read about it in The Call. I came right over to San Fran- cisco from Oakland, where I had gone to look for work, and went up to Willilam Warren's office. He brought me over here with him.” Perrenaud gave the same account of the accident as Seifert. He says they saw a white sail show up distinctly for a mo- | ment against the dark sea and then it seemed to lle quite flat on the water for | e of a second or so. Then it d «d. All in the boat strained their the s appe: was the last they saw. Had the boat not sunk those on the Whirlwind must have seen her again. Up till 5 o'clock to-night, when Mr. Warren was informed of to-day’s sensa- tional developments, culminating in the almost certain fact that his only daugh- ter and her escort have been drowned, the contractor still hoped against hope. Now. however, he fears that there is no choice left him but to share the belief of all Belvedere. and grappling irons will search the bot- tom of the cove where the bodies are said to be and put all doubt as to the re- sult of Sunday’s boat ride to an end. Seifert got up to Warren's office at 232 Montgomery street at about 3 o’clock this afternoon. = Willlam Warren, brother of the missing girl, who had just taken Mrs. Warren, whose condition is quite serious, to San Francisco, brought him over to Tiburon and to-morrow morning the launches Norwood and MacNeill will drag the waters of Lyfords Cove to bring to light what all Belvedere now fears its waters cover. Lyfords Cove is a little bay just around the point from the California Northwest- ern Railway Company’s wharf at Tiburon, It is formed by two rocky capes, on one ef which §s built the tower and gates which mark the entrance to Dr. Lyford's property and are conspicuous landmarks, The water Is about three fathoms deep in the shallowest part. The tide which races through the narrow Raccoon Straits like a millrace forms here a back eddy and any object sunk in the cove would probably be retained there (from this cause. All the old-timers here agree that this is the most probable place for the boat to have sunk, Early this morning the launches which took up the hunt vesterday again started out. only to return after a search of the most careful character, without a shred of evidence that might give a lead on the whereabouts of the missing. . Charles A. Warren, the Jost girl's father, went with Charley’ MacNeill _on the latfer’s launch MacNeill. Mr, Warren returned to San Francisco to-night wearied and depressed by his non-success. Mrs. Warren and her sister, Miss Smith. left Belvedere for their town hopse, 2215 Van Ness avenue, on the 11:30 boat this morning. To-morrow morn- ing Mr. Warren will be over and, together with his son William, direct the dragging party. The launches Brisk and Envoy were " also chartered to zid in to-day's search. The large lifebuoy, which many thought might have floated in case the catboat sank, was attached to the craft, S0 this explains its non-appearance. Every one here lays the blame for the disaster on the tremendous amount—600 pounds—of smgplnx ballast she carried. i The boat seen and hailed by Seifert was the Seabird of Tiburon, and not the yacht Paul, as he reported. The Paul was off Sausalito on Sunday afternoon. but the Seabird was crulsing off Hospital Point with a large fishing party on board. Mrs. Warren was not told to-day of what Seifert and his companions said they had seen, as her condition is precarious it is feared that the nervous shock might produce serious consequences.

Plans Under Discussion to Further the Interests of the Organization. Some Excellent Papers Are Read. et The first annual convention of the Cali- | fornia State Stenographers’ Association | was opened by President L. E. Bontz of | San Jose In the Marble room of the Palace | Hotel yesterday morning. Only about a | score of the members were present, but what was lacking in numbers was made up in enthusiasm. The membership of the organization is made up of officlal | court reporters from all parts of the State, banded together for mutual benefit and | to regulate the price of their services so | that 1t will be umiform throughout the | State. Ex-Congressman Charles A. Sumner, who was formerly official reporter for the | Supreme Court, maae the opening address, | wnich was _1argely reminiscent and en- i]uyubl& The members lost no .time in | Betung down to business. With ohe ex- | ception the members appointed to read pupers responded heartiy, and the ideas they advanced were taken up and thor- ougnly discussed by their fellow members. one of the papers that provoked discus- | sion was that or W. k. Strong of Eureka | on “Some Phases of Shorthand Legisla- tion.” He expressea the opinion that un- | til the official court stenographers could | agree among themselves upon some stan- | aard of compensation either on the per | diem or fee system no good legisiation | could be secured. The writer pelieved that the court reporter ougnt to be inde- pendent of politics, and tnat before his pointment he ought .to be required to | pass an examination held by a State | board and thereafter hold his- position | during good behavior and efficiency. | _This paper provoked so much discu | sion and so many suggestions were ad. | vanced that it was decided to turn the | whole matter over to a committee, which | will prepare a report. C. F. Whitton of | Oakland, Charles H. Adams of Santa Rosa and E. A. Girvin were appointed by the They will air to act on the committee. The subject of ““The Country Reporter’ | was nicely handled by Fred J. Brownlee | of Redding, who described in a humorous way the varied duties of the shorthand man who has a large and thinly settled section all to himself. *‘Technical Report- ing” was a paper read by J. L. Holland of this city that furnished considerable amusement. H, Jones related ‘“‘Some Recollections,” est A. Girvin _ dis- cussed “‘Supreme Court Reporting,” L. E. Bontz of San Jose had some suggestions tion” and J. E.

POLICEMAN GREEN THROWS STAR AT NEWHALL'S FEET Fell Asleep While on Duty—Sergeant Price’s Appeal Is Partly Heard. ‘The Police Commissioners last night dis- missed - Officer Charles Green from -the force for failing to answer to two alarms of fire on July 4 and also for falling asleep while on duty. After the verdict of the Commissioners was rendered, Green un- pinned his star and threw it on the floor at the feet of President Newhall. Special Officer Willlam Mullaney was relieved of his star for plying Regular Of- | ficer Henry Smith with whisky while the | last named was on duty. Smith was fined $100 at the last meeting for accepting the liquor from the special. etectives Thomas Gibson and FEgan | filed written charges against Leo Franks, who conducts a saloon at 282 O'Farreli street, accusing him of refusing to give them information concerning the stabbing of James Turner by his mistress, and en- deavoring to hide the knife used by the infuriated woman. The stabbing occurred in Franks’ saloon, but when questioned by the detectlves he stoutly maintained that he knew nothing about it. He also at- tempted to mislead the detectives by giv- ing them a wrong description of the | ‘woman. After listening to a mass of evi- dence, the Commissioners decided not to revoke Franks' license, but warned him to ‘be more discreet in the future. The petition of Sergeant Price to be re- stored to the rank of lieutenant was then taken up. President Newhall did not think that the Commissions had any right to intebfere in the matter. He said that he was led to belleve that Price was disrated because he failed to exercise the proper authority over the men. Commissioner McNutt declared that in his opinion the Commissioners shculd | not Interfere with the acts of the previous board in disrating certain members of the force. He was unalterably opposed to re- instating expelled or disrated members of, the department.
