Will Adjust the Finances and Will Inquire Into the Discipline and Attendance of the Men and Officers. sl ol e At the request of Captain N. T. James, commanding the Naval Militia of Califor- nia, a board of inquiry has been ordered | by the Governor to investigate the affairs | of that organization. In his request for the appointment of the court Captain James asks that it inquire into what is | necessary for the proper care and mainte- nance of the Marion, the Naval Reserve ship, ‘and what provisions if any have been made for furnishing the same. Also as to the diseipline and attendance of the officers and men of the different divisions. Since the Marion hauled out into the | stream there has been trouble, and it has come to a fecus because of the differ- | ences of opinlon regarding the expenses of the ship, irritated by the happenings of the 9th of September celebration week and the charges and counter charges brought by officers against each other, same through proper channels and others through the press. The real trouble began with the rellef of Lieutenant Commander Nerney as ex- ecutive officer of the Marion, at his own request; His request for reinstatement came to headquarters two weeks before the out of town divisions were to arrive on board the Marion. His application was forwarded from headquarters with- out approval for various reasons, among them being that to make any change in the existing rank or dutles of the officers at a time when the arrangements for the reception for 200 or more reserve men were under way would be to mix the whole plan of arrangement and risk its success. It was stated at division head- quarters that the application would not be passed upon until after the Native Sons’ celebration. Action on the applica- tion not yet been taken. The trouble among the divisions is of a different character. It is one of the pay- ment of bills. By the State law each compary of the National Guard is allow- ed §300 a quarter for its maintenance, and TIGATE OF NAVAL MILITIA in the case of the naval militia this must include the maintenance of the Marion. The Marion lies out in the stream and it was the judgment of Captain James chat she should have an officer of rank con- stantly on board and in charge. For some weeks the plan of detailing an officer of the reserve to a week’s tour of duty aboard was tried, but as the cfficers could not leave their business ashore, their time of usefulness was limited to the noon hour each day. Then it was decided that the boatswain of the organization, Rich- ard Schnalle, himself an old seaman and captain and owner of numerous schoorers, should be detalled to the per- manent charge of the vessel at the lowest nayy pay of his rank, $75. He was assign- ed to the duty, but the division command- er refused to pay him. Since the vessel |18 in the stream she must have a compe- tent man in charge, for the danger of get- ting adrift or being fouled by passing vessels Is ever present. She is involced to the State at several hundred thousand dollars, and should anything happen to her the State would have to make it good to the Government, This, too, will be made the gubsect of the inquiry. There are six men allowed by the Government to look out for the ship—a fireman, a cook, a second- class boatswaln’s mate, a cockswain and two seamen. When the vessel is in the stream, however, the fireman must run the engines of the launch and the cock- swaln must steer her, taking two men off the deck. The cook has his own work at the galley; there must be one of the men from' the deck in the fireroom to keep steam for the dynamo, and the other men have all they can do to stand watch. In view of this state of affairs the employ- ment of the boatswaln was considered justifiable, and it was sanctioned by Major Genera: Dickinson. There are other minor matters for the board to look into, but its report will cause a shake up that will perhaps clear the atmosphere about the old warship. As for the cfowding of the ship on Saturday night, September 8, there was no doubt but that there were more people aboard than should have been there, but the ship had beer turned over to the Gov- ernor and his staff, and they were privi- leged to take aboard as many as they pleased. Some few invitations were sent around among the men, byt not one-third of them were used, and when any man of the Marion's crew came down to the wharf in uniform he was not allowed to 20 aboard in the tugs for the Governor's parties, and so he did not go at all. As a consequence there were not men eno aboard to handle the crowd. o traordinary | prices exorbitant up | h ago when the owners | a bay | TEN STRIKERS RELEASED FROM STATE PRISON Ceur d’Alene Miners Set Free by the Circuit Court of Appeals. Indictments Failed to .State That Prisoners Knew That Train Seized Carried United | States Mail. s AR | TUnited States Circuit Judges Gilbert, and Morrow, sitting as the United es Circuit Court of Appeals in . yesterday gave a decision that will use great rejolcing among the Coeur | Ri S & g | d"Alene miners. | written by Judge Gilbert, releases from the San Quentin penitentiary Dennls O'Rourke, - who is under a sentence of twenty months’ imprisonment fine, and nine other miners serving a | sentence of twenty-two months' imprison- | ment and $1000 fine each for conspiracy to | obstruct the United States mails. | The facts of the case form one of the | thrilling episodes of the great Coeur d'Alene strike of a year ago. On April 29, a train of the Northern Pacific Rafl- y was boarded by armed strikers be- tween the stations of Burke and Wallace. These men took possession of the train. When the train reached Wallace some of | the strikers compelled the engineer to run his train over the track of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Wardner Junction, twelve miles west of Wallace, where the strikers destroyed the works of the Bunker Hill and the Sullivan Mining and Concentrating Company. A large number of the strikers were arrest- ed and indicted for conspiracy for having seized and interrupted a train bearing United States mails. The Circuit Court ot | Appeals based its decision upon the cases of the United States vs. Carll, and Petty- bone vs. the United States. Carll was indicted for passing counterfeit money, and the ifdictment was held to be void because it failed to allege that the defend- ant knew the coin to be counterfeit. Pet- tybone was arrested for his connection | with a boycott in violation of an injunc- | tlon of the United States District Court. | The case was dismissed because the com- plaint did not allege knowledge on Petty bone’s part of the process of the court Judge Gilbert sald that the indictments failed to allege that the defend- ants knew that the train which they °d was carrying United States malls. While it is true,” continued Judge Gil- bert, “‘that the laws make the rallw the United States pos ing the mail, it Is nevertheless true t many passenger trains do not carry the mail. The defendants in this case are not charged with the overt act of obstructing the passage of the mails or of a carrier of the malls, but with conspiracy. It no offense against the United States to hinder and delay the passage of a railway car, and consequently it is no offense to conspire for that purpose. Such an offensa must be dealt w r the laws of the State. The conspiracy charged in the indictment lacks an essential ingredient | of an offense against the United States, to | Wit, that the defendants knew that the | mails of the United States were carried | upon that train which they conspired to obstruct. It may be that they all such knowledga, or that the facts and cir- cumstances shown in the sufficient to charge them with such knowl- edge, but that does not dispense with the necessity of setting forth in the indict- ment all the elements of the wrongful act which they conspired to commit. sel “The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded, with instructions to quash the indictment and discharge the defendants.” Paul Corcoran, one of the strikers, was | convicted of murder in the second degree in the State court of Idaho and sentenced to elghteen years' imprisonment in the penitentiary. His case is now on appeal to the United States Supreme Court. | SCHOPPLEIN BOOKED | ON MURDER CHARGE | Witnesses Declare That the Shooting | of Brizzolari Was Not Acci- | dental. | William Schopplein, the boy who shot {and killed Amedee Brizzolari, another boy, at Green and Kearny streets Sunday | night, was booked at the City Prison ves terday on a charge of murder. He ap- pears to be heartbroken over the affair and declares that he did not expect the | gun to go ofr. Two boys who saw the shooting—John | Fava, 239'% Green street, and Emil Boni- | elna, 336 Green street—made statements to | Captain Seymour yesterday morning that | would lez& to the presumption that the shooting was not accidental. They sad | that while they were standing In a hall- way Schopplein pointed the gun at them and threatened to shoot. They ran away and saw Brizzolari come round the cor- | ner. He stood for a moment and Schopp- lein fired at him and he fell. They assist. ed In carrying him to the drug store. Schopplein stood where he was for a | while and when he learned that Brizzolar was shot he ran away and disappeared. —————————— For Convenienee of Passengers An office has been established in the Oak- land ferry depot, on the ground floor in the center of the buildlng. where passen- gers can leave their baggage checks, thereby saving in the transfer of thelr baggage, our rates being lower.

Booker, chief clerk for the Spring Valley Water Company, at 2215 Stelner street, was gutted by fire yesterday afternoon. The loss will approximate $3000. The blaze | started from a defective flue between two walls and the firemen worked with diffi- culty for nearly two hours before they had it entirely extinguished. The flames were discovered bwineigh- bors. Mrs. Boaker is an invalid and had to be carricd to the street. An alarm was turned in from box 216 and when the de- partment arrived they found that the fire was a blind one and on account of the burning bullding’s proximity to adjoining houses might result seriously. After two hours’ work, however, the flames were subdued without damage to other prop- erty. B See Gibson's new stock of Fall and Winter Underwear, Hoslery.

Four Engines to Two Thousand New Cars and Forty-;i_ Handle Freight. The equipment of the Southern Pacific is to be strengthened immediately by the addition of 2000 new box car four engines. This Is one of the biggest orders any railroad in the world has ever placed for its freight equipment at a single time. Some of the cars have al- | ready begun to arrive and the entire lot must be shipped within ninety days. The | engines are to be here within thirty days “We are trying to avoid a freight block- ade” sald Julius Kruttschnitt, gen- | eral manager of the company. In| explaining the occasion for such a | blg order yesterday. “Our freight trafic has been climbing up at a| tremendous rate for several vears and we | have found it absolutely necessary to enlarge our equipment. Last year was a record breaker for us. We simply couldn’t handle all the business, despite the fact | that we put on more men and doubled our forse of inspectors. We got from 15 to 20| per cent more work out of this added | force, but even that wasn't sufficlent to | overcome the enormous increase in busi- ness. This year we have endeavored to provide for all emergencies, The indica- | tions point to a repetition of last winter's business. If our expectations are realized | we will be prepared by 200 extra freight cars and half a hundred additional | engines.” | The cars are being manufactured by the | | American Car and Foundry Company of | Huntington, W. V. The Souihern Pacific | | now has 2500 of these extra-size cars and the new supply will give the company a | total of 4500, which the management thinks ought to answer all needs for some time to come. Each car welghs 23.000 pounds and will have a capaeity of 100,000 pounds. | | In regard to the movement to form a | | freight equipment pool Mr. Kruttschnitt | sald the project had been discussed in rail- road circles for several years and while in some particulars it might be a good thing | there were, nevertheless, many reasons | against the formation of such an associa- | tion. The chief difficulty would be sur- rendering to a central agement (he handling of the equipment. It would cause | clash and confusion and the cars could not | be got to a desired point as readily _as they are now by gach company's own | equipment management. The engines ordered include eighteen passenger locomotives, six consolidation mountain engines and twenty moguls. Mr. Kruttschnitt returned from his Eastern trip yesterday. He went to Gal- veston soon after the flood to attend to the recorstruction of the Southern Pa- cific’s damaged road. Mr. Kruttschnitt says the newspapers have not overesti- mated the fearful devastation of property | that has been wrought in the Texas city. The loss of life, he thinks, will never be accurately estimated. Whole fam!lles and relatlves were swept along with the | tide and there are no survivors to mourn or even chronicle their loss. He says the | 'Pluck, perseverance and determination of the survivors are wonderful. They are resolved to rebulld thelr city and to attain this end they are working indefatigably. Mr. Kruttschnitt says the generous con- tributions of a sympathetic nation are not unappreciated by the people of the strick- en city and none too much money can be sent to assist.In the work of rebulld’'ng. The Southern Pacific’s loss was not as | | great as at first supposed. Eighteen miles of road were swept from the river bank and the bridge across Galveston Bay was destroyed. 6 NEW RAILROAD QBPORATION.‘ Road Twenty-Six Miles Long for Nevada and Si Counties. The Boca and Loyalt(¥®, is the name of a new rallroad corporation just formed and which will do business in Nevada and Slerra counties in this State.

The articles of in- corporation, which have just been filed, | call for a line twenty-six miles long, be- | ginning at the town of Boca and continu- ing to a point two miles east of the pre- sent town of Loyalton, where a station to be known as Roberts will be built.
