He Says There Is No Need for Fear- ing Outside Mills. Aug. 17.—The mill opera- " fight for an eight-hour day is with- fresh development. Nelther side ef- out fected any results and matters remain in statu quo. Alpheus Kendall of the Pacific Coast Millin; ompany has been at Watsonville, San Jose and other places seeking skilled workmen, but without success. In reply to the statement of Andrew Wilkie, millowner and De Fremery building, to the effect that the local mills cannot grant the request for elght hours unless they are protected from the competition of outside mills working longer hours, J. H. Mullen, busi- agent of the Building Trades Coun- Wilkie's fears, millowners _in dless. The this regard, Building Trades are will P handle no will work from nine-hour mills, no matter where located. We will remain true to our principles and shall take no fair advantage such as that would be. ‘e believe in the protection of our home mills and will protect them. They need fear no competition from outside mills not working on the eight-hour schedule. | “It scems to me, though,” added Mr.- Mullen, “that the millowners expect a good deal from the unions. They want us to assure them of protection when they will not unite with us in any endeavor. 1f a majority of the mills will work to- gether with the Trades Council there will be no danger from unfair outside mills.” The effort of the mill operatives to ob- a L] ! | | | | tain an_eight-hour day will be discussed | | by the Twentieth Century Club of the | | Unitarian Church next Monday evening. | The Millworkers’ Union has accepted an invitation to send a representative to pre- sent its side of the controversy.

Frank Cronin, driver of a milk wagon for Jewett Brothers, appeared for sen- tence before Judge Cabaniss yesterday on | a charge of adulterating milk by mixing with it_a preparation to give it a richer { color. The Judge sentenced him to pay a | fire of 525, with the alternative of twenty- five days in the County Jail. He had been | in the City Prison for ten days | 'The Roanoke, the largest American salling vessel afloat, arrived from Balti- more yesterday with 4900 tons of coal. She | had a very hard time of it rounding the Horn, belng driven back twice by adverse winds. Captain Amesbury in his report says | “Passed Staten Island on May 17. Thence to Cape Horn light, variable winds. The | distance is only 250 miles, but it took us | twenty days to cover it. Then we ran into | a succession of gales, accompanied by | snow, sleet and ice, and time and again | we had to pour bofling water on the| blocks to keep the running gear working. | Twice we were driven back and once I| thought we were going to reach the South Pole. We were thirty-four days getting from 50 in the Atlantic to 5 in the Pacific. ‘Once we got into the Pacific we had fair weather until 16 north, 120 west, was reached. There we ran into a storm that lasted three days. It blew with hurricane force and was accompanied by a heavy cross sea. The ship rode it well and once that storm was over we were not both- ered again except by fog until San Fran- cisco was reached."” | The Roanoke is 3347 tons net burden and | is the largest wooden ship afloat and the largest salling vessel in the merchant | marine. She Ta larger than the Shenan- doah and over 600 tons greater capacity than the Erskine M. Phelps, which ar- rived from Honolulu last Thursday. Lost Her Propeller. The steamer South Coast was towed into gart gy the steamer Whitesboro yester- ay. The South Coast was at Albion load- ing for San Francisco when she lost her ropeller. The Whitesboro was at Needle ock loading and was telegraphed to to B0 to the assistance of the disabled steamer. This was done and the South Coast came home in tow of the Whites- boro. Roderick Dhu Arrives. The bark Roderick Dhu arrived from | Hilo vesterday after a fair run of twenty- five days. Captain Johnson has on several | occasions made the same trip in ten and | eleven days, but on this occasion iight winds and calms played havoc with his calculations. The barks Amy Turner and Olympic left the Islands the same day as the Roderick Dhu. Neither of them has been heard from yet, so that is some small satisfaction to the master of the Roderick Dhu. The Roderick Dhu brought up twenty cabin passengers, Among them was J. D.

The great annual event for Monterey has been fixed for Sunday, September 2. For several years past the custom has been observed of having a big day in the historic old capital, devoted exclusively to the sports and festlvities of old Span- ish origin, which were so famous there half a century ago and before. This year the event will be more enthusiastically observed than ever, there being a strong sentiment in favor of reviving and per- petuating those romantic scenes. The picturesque and really wonderful feats of lassoing and riding wild horses and steers, riding broncos bareback, snatch- ing coins from the ound while riding at breackneck spee and all sorts o daring and apparently impossible feats on the backs of wild animals, if not ex- actly novel, will at least be very interest- ing and exclting exhibitions. el Monte and Pacific Grove will, ‘of c;)urse. share the interest of this occa- sion. Round-trip tickets will be sold for $2, a third less than half fare and a sum so small that all can afford to go. The train will leave Third and Townsend streets at 8 a. m. and give excursionists five hours at the places named. Willlam H. Menton, the Espee's excursion passenger agent, will be in command. BRIEF WAS RESPITE FROM MARITAL WOES Paul and Martha Strickert Again Husband and Wife by Order of Court. Paul and Martha Strickert are again husband and wife. They enjoyed freedom from matrimony for only one day, for Judge Daingerfield exercised his authority vesterday and on his own motion set aside the decree of divorce he awarded Mrs, Strickert the day before on the ground of cruelty. Amicus Curiae Herbert Choynski has not as yet made his final re&cn to Judge Daingerfield on the result of his investiga- tion. Whether he has verified his sus- picions that collusion existed between Mr. and Mrs. Strickert in the divorce proceed- ings is as yet unknown. His assertion that such was his belief led Judge Dain- gerfield to take the safe course and defeat a possible Nevada or tugboat marriage until the conclusion of the investigation which Choynski set in motion Thursday afternoon. If Strickert returns to the city the court may investigate Choynskl's charges to- day. If not the matter will be of next week. ————————— _ Ladies’ tailor-made sufts, silk skirts, tur credit. M.

A2 ALMOST ON SAME DAY Within Eight Hours Grim Death Claims Two Members of the | Lynch Family. | The singular fatality of father and son | dying within eight hours of each other | has befallen the Lynch family, residing at ‘ 4 Cleveland street. Timothy Lynch, the | father, was the first to succumb to death's | call, passing_away at 11 o'clock Thursday | night. At 7 o'clock yesterday morning | his son, Thomas Lynch, also answers the dread summons. The father had been ill for two months with heart trouble and was 52 years of age. The son had been | afflicted for two weeks with typhoid pneu- monia and was oblivious of the fact that his father had preceded him to the great vond. A widowed mother and six chil- dren are left to mourn their loss. Thomas Lynch was 24 ‘un of age and saw service with the Third Artill in Mantla, He held a responsible position with Pope & Talbot, the lumber mer- chants. He was a member of Rincon Par- ler, N. 8. G.

The double funeral will take place from the family residence to-morrow morning and a solemn requiem mass will be cele- brated at St. Rose’s Church at 11 o'clock. ;rhe interment will be in Calvary Ceme- ery. WANT TO BE GUARDIAN OF GEORGE MASCARICH M. Catusich and Ellen Radisich Liti- gating for Possession of His Person and Estate. Michael Catusich and Ellen Radisich are engaged in a legal controversy in Judge Coftey's court for the possession, as guar- dian, of the person and estate of George Mascarich, a nephew of the late Anna Herzo, who bequeathed him gropeny val- ued at $30,000. Ellen Radisich was named the deceased in her will to act as - gua dian of George Mascarich, who is 10 years | of age, but Catusich contends that he was | really Mrs. Herzo’'s choice. Catusich testifled yesterday that he was nCourting” Mrs. Herzo up to the time of | her death and that she informed him tha: name him as guardian of her nephew. | Ellen Radisich, he also contends, is not a | fit person to act as guardian, as she has | been in this country only two months and | as yet has failed to master the English language.
