PSS SR Threatened Withdraiwal of Eight Members Leads to a Move for Adoption of New Scheme. SIS gERT Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Feb. 8. The threatened withdrawal of eight members of the Policemen’'s Mutual Bene- fit Association has caused a serlous crisis | in the affairs of the orgagization, which has been in existence many years. Its pur- pose has been to provide a relief fund in cases of death of members while in active service. The by-laws have provided for a per capita assessment of $20 upon each member in the event of a death. This would realize about $1200 to the family of the deceased policeman. Sergeants Clark and Green and Patrol- men Murcell, McCloud, Flynn and Me- Sorley and Detective Kyte are the eight members who opposed the present plan. They expressed their objections to-day at a special meeting of the association at which every member of the department, including Chief Hodgkins, the president, was present. The objections to the pres- ent system were presented by the officers who proposed to withdraw, and the entirs | subject was canvassed and ciscussed at | much length. Many of the men thought that the bur- | den would prove very severe vpon them, because of the advancing yvears of not a few of their brother policemen.

AKLAND, Feb. 8-—Mate Hogan of the steamer Newark is the hero of the day among the men that plow the deep between Oakland and San Francisco. The first offi- = cer came off victorious in a flerce | encounter with a dozen Italian fishermen | after he had withstood for half an hour a bombardment of fresh herfings tha would have driven a less valiant fighter | down to a disgracefui defeat. | It all occurred because Mate Hogan had learned to obey orders no matter what | the result. The lads {rom sunpy Italy who made his life a burden foR a brief | thirty minutes were brave enough in their | way, but it was Hogan's way until he finally forced a capitulation by a dex- trous stroke. There are a dozen fishing boats which gell their catch in Oaklignd. The thrifty fishermen have been accustomed to steal- ing a tow out of the harbor astern of the | | ferry boats or other steam craft when opportunity presented, thus saving the time which would be Consume( in sailing by the more or less uncertain winds. The plan h proven so convenient to the swarthy sons of the Mediterranean that they strenuously objected a few days ago when the steamboat men about the harbor decided to put a stop to the practice. The first move agaimnst the fishermen was made by Captain Frederickson of ths | Newark a few days ago. As he entered | the pilot house to start for San Francisco | the skipper observed a t of fishing | boats walting to “hook on. ““See here, Hogan,”” announced the mas- ter, summoning his trusty mate, “if those Italians try to tow out to-day, cast 'em adrift. This steamer isn't in that busi- ness.” “Aye, aye, sir,” cheerily responded Ho- gan. And he took station astern to awalt developments. They came fast enough. Hardly had thé paddle wheels started to churn the muddy water before Gluseppi Gaglioni hauled smack alongside, fol- lowed by a bunch of comradeg with their | B S FORMAL OPENIAE OF HEARST HALL Will Be Dedicated to Use| of University Women : Students. ——— BERKELEY, Feb, 8.—Hearst Hall will be formally dedicated to the women stu- dents of the University of California to- morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.

M. Carman, | charged with furnishing supplies to the insurgents, evidence has been rapidly de- veloping tending to show that not the Carman Company alone, but many bust- ness men in Manila, have been having re- lations with the insurgents. The secret service officers to-day report the capture near Pagsanjan of three natives—Cosme, Almonte and Llamos, members of Gen- eral Cailles insurgent committee in that district. The papers found on them were so personally incriminating that they were led to divulge damaging information concerning Carman and others not ar- rested. Cosme acknowleged that he was Carman’s partner in_insurgent trading. Llamos has become distinguished by hig oratory among the Filipinos. The police learned that Fabello, ex-pres- ident and ally of Carman in his Laguna de Bay dealings, has $10,000 in insurgent money deposited in the Spanish-Filipino Bank at Manila. The officers conflacated this money. New batches of incriminating evidence Jere received by the provost marshal to- ay. Carman was preparing a small steamer to carry him to Japan on the day follow= ng the night of his arrest. He says he was contemplating a trip for his health. but asserts that his intention was to go to Marivales, Luzon. Used a Revolver. NOVATO, Feb. 5.—Sam Winters swore to a complaint against Frank Valencia this morning charging him with an at- tempt to commit murder.

His aim was bad. however., and Winters was soon out of range unhurt. Valencia is a namesake and relative of Frank Valencia, who shot and killed young McGreevy, a San Francisco policeman’s son, on the road between San Rafael and Fairfax eight years ago.
