Shooting and poison had evi been considered in his plans for lgl?l-‘;‘z struction, and at the last moment he had decided on jumping from the window. Cole, who was 60 years of age and un- married, engaged a room at the New York Exchange at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.. He sald he was tired and wanted to go to his room. He was shown to a room on the third floor. Cole removed his outer clothing and neatly folded it on a chalr in the room and walked the floor the eater part of the night and talked to himself. Occupants of the ad- | joining rooms were disturbed. Toward morning hle became quiet.

Many delegates had returned to their homes and the attendance to-day was comparatively small, Another vot: was cu{ for the remaining vice president general, the cor- responding secretary general and the his- torian general, the first ballot for these officers on Thursday having resulted in deadlock. A rising _vote of thanks was tendered President McKinley for his re- ception to the Daughters of the American Revolution on Wednesday.

SCOTT KEEPS PHELAN'S MEN 0T OF J08S Outwits the Mayor and Sails 0ff to Tahitj. | ———— Appoints Eligibles but He| Does Not Notify the *Auditor. —_— Somewhere on the high seas between | San Francisco and Tahit! Tax Collector | J. Harry Scott Is rubbing his hands in | glee and chuckling to himself, while | Mayor Phelan is taking an invoice of his | stock of gold bricks. The Mayor does not | quite realize, perhaps, that he has been outmaneuvered by the Tax Collector. Meanwhile cleven applicants who have ments of the civil service examination of December 4 last are without positions as deputies In the Tax Collector's office. There were fifteen and they were all Phelan men with the exception of four. | Of these latter George A. McCalvy, 43| Van Ness avenue, is as yet the only Re- publican without the fold. The others, Ben 1. Salomon, Joseph K. Jones and the old Republican attaches of Tax Col- | lector Scott’s office. The remalning eleven aspirants are the Phelan Democrats, whom Collector Scett has so adroitly Scott refused at first, as will be re- membered, to accept the men certifled by the Civil Service Commission, but after some court proceedings and a threat of removal from office by the Mayor agreed to_appoint them. Together with nls wife Tax Collector Scott salled at noon of February 11 on the steamer Australla. At 11:40 o'clock on of the steamer's departure, the Civil he notified Service Commission that he thelr names might be placed on the pay- | rolls; and the unlucky fifteen applicants | for the offices, to which they claim to be | rightfully entitled by reason of their passing the civil service examination, are Wwhistling for their jobs. To the County Clerk is delegated the power of swearing in the appointees, but as thelr names were not handed to _the | Auditor by Collector Scott they cannot | be placed on the salary list. During the absence of the Tax Collector who s in The Mayor wou'd doubtless like much to know who has the authority to sign Collector Scott's name, be taken to elevate the executive's partlsans into of- fice. The supposition is that B. I Salo- | o- | fice; Morris Levy, chief deputy in the license office, and Oscar Curtaz, a brother- in-law of Collector Bcott, acun{ cashler. Four of the clerks who took the exami- nation for deputyships accepted clerkships instead, though at a smaller salary. These are James Citron, 1507 Masonic ‘avenue; Frederick H. Stahle, b4 Oak street; Frank R. Smith, 228¢ B. Cowden, 2098 Green st-et. Among the friends of the Mayor singled Tripp, who was formerly with Baldwin & Howell, and who passed _he elvil service | examination, with the rank of sixth, soon after Police Commigsioner Howell joined Another particu- lar favorite of the Mayor, who stood sec- ond in the competitive list of the deputles, is Oscar L. Tuttle, who was a former Au- ditor of Santa Cruz County, and who is sald to have once been employed in Mayor Phelan’s bank in San Jose. go(h of these aspirants are said to have been tempo- rarily promised places in Assessor Dodge's office, or until such time as Collector Scott returns from Tahiti, which is expected to be about March 10. ‘While Collector Scott is away the point is being raised that the records as con- ducted by the old clerks are not legal, thus suggesting numerous complications from that standpoint.

The legislative committee, composed of M. W. Brady (chairman), McNeil of Hum- boldt, Barnes of San Mateo, Kelley of Oakiand, Radcliff of Santa Cruz, Butler, Collins and McLaughlin of this ecity and Reeber of Sacramento, was present in its entirety. HUGH CRAIG WHO" SAID "ILL CALL HIM A PIRATE RIGHT _'TO HIS FACE COL.MARTIN BRADY THE AN OF MANY JUNKETS + . 2 P11dt Commissioner Alexander and Sec- retary Conroy of the commission were also present to defend the present pilot- age system. Chairman Newhall called the meeting to order and stated the purpose for which it had been convened. Attorney C. E, Naylor, secretary of the Shipowners’ Asgociation, was then requested to pre- sent the features of the case to the legis- lative committee. Mr. Naylor reviewed past legislation on the matter of pilotage and discussed the bills which are before the present Legislature in reference to a reform of the system. He maintained that the pilots are paid exorbitant fees, that they are most unjust in the matter of paying rebates to shipowners and that the books of the Commissioners can never be seen by the commercial men or the public. The shipowners, Mr. Naylor stat- ed, and he himself had made many and strong efforts to see the Pilot Commis- sioners’ books, but had never been able CAPT.

Mr. Naylor stated that he had mailed a letter to each of the Pilot Commission- ers more than a week ago, requesting that he be allowed to inspect the books, but both Mr. Alexander and Mr. Conroy de- n1|ed the receipt of any such communica- tion. Hugh Craig of the Chamber of Com- merce said that he had constantly en- deavored for two years to see the books, but_could never get even an appointment to _do so. Debate between the four gentlemen then became so heated and personal in its na- ture that Chairman Newhall had to in- terfere. The report of the sub-committee of the Chamber of Commerce on pliotage was presented. It showed, by statistics, that up to two years ago the pllots, for eleven years, had been working twenty-four days every three months for a compensa- tion of about $330 per month. The best ald ship captains leaving this port get &0 a month. Other things hinted at created the opinion that a San Francisco flot led a gilt-edged life of ease and uxury, with only the duty of collecting enormous pay. Secretary Conroy stated that a pilot was exposed to great dangers and that his case was different from that of a sea cap- tain, that he had to board himself An interesting discussion about the price of goil]rd was interrupted by Chairman New- all. Assemblyman Radcliff asked for fur- ther statistics, which were given Ly Mr. Naylor. The question of rebates was then introduced and charges wers that pllots discriminated in favor of friendly shipowners, thus placing at a tremendous disadvantage the men who are not on good terms with them. Cap- tain Mighell, who owns thirty sihps ply- ing from this port, stated that since he had rebelled against excessive charges two years ago, he had never received a rebate. Captain Marston, also a largs shipowner, thought there were too many p:lou and that the charges were exces- sive. Mr. Naylor recommended to the legisla- tive committee that only one Pilot Com- nussioner be appointed, and he by the Har! Commissioners, instead of three by the Governor, as at present, and that the number of pilots be reduced from twenty to ten or fifteen. Mr. Craig then briefly reviewed the uses which he belleved to exist. He stated that the. San Francisco pilotage system was corrupt and characterized the gl]ols as “pirates.” Pllotage charges are igher here, he stated, than in any other geort of the world. Immense harm had en dome to the city of San Francisco and the State of California, he said, and a radical change was highly necessary. The representatives of the Pllot Com- missioners Intimated that Sacramento was their stronghold and sald that at a later period thez would be there with all the books they had, which any one could then inspect. or leaving the port. All ent that the tain never lost command of his v_ch PIONEER CITIZEN OF ALAMEDA COUNTY DEAD Maurice J. Healy Passes Away at His Oakland Home After Suffering Long Illness. OAKLAND, Feb. 23.—Maurice J.
