THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1901. CLAIN COMBINE RO ANIONG BIDDERS Hayden Printing Com- pany Addresses the Mayor. Offer of Inducements for Withdrawing Bids Is Alleged. The Hayden Printing Company has ad- dressed a letter to the Mayor in reference to the furnishing of books to the various departments of the city and county gov- ernment for the fiscal year, in which it is alleged that a combination was formed to get the pook work. The letters avers | that: “Our belief is based upon certain | happenings of which we have positive were not aware of the existence of this combination, and the fact that our bids were on the whole about 33 1-3 per cent | lower than those made by others showed good { on our part.

INEERITS WEALTH WHEN TOO OLD TO ENJOY IT Judge Dunne Appoints Guardians for Person and Estate of Aged Roswell Lee. After sixty-four years of fruitless toil Roswell Lee, formerly an accountant in the Occidental Hotel, has come into pos- session of a small fortune, but owing to his weakened mind a guardian must man- ege his properties during the few years of life that remain to him. Judge Dunne | yesterday granted petitions for letters of | guardianship upon his person and estate | after listening to a statement made by General W. H. L. Barnes, who was a boy | with the aged ward in Springfield, Mass. | “Roswell Lee e here sixteen ago from the home of our boyhood, He came consigned to the freight and since then most of the storage.

T.el WRECKING COMPANY IS BUYING INTERESTS OF THE UNDERWRITERS Confident That the Spirits Have Located the Wreck of Lost Mail Boat, the Company Is Purchasing the Insurance Risks on Cargo and Has Chartered a Vessel to Commence Work S + 2 - PACIFIC MAIL COMPANY'S STEAMSHIP ALGOA. WHICH MAY PROVE TO BE THE FIRST SHIP OF A DIRECT LINE TO MANILA. TAKE ON GOVERNMENT SUPPLIES. HE “Rio Wrecking Company” is making preparations for salving the cargo of the sunken steamship. Captain John Ross is confident that he has the hull located, and will begin work as soon as he can perfect arrangements. He has chartered the gas- oline schooner Bessie K, purchased the interests of the insurance companies in the tin which composed part of the cargo and secured a lien on other valuable mer- chandise in the hull, and just as soon as the diving outfits can be procured and the tides suit the work will begin. Assoclated with Captain Ross in the venture is Madame Young, the spiritual- ist. Captain Plummer, who died years ago, was Madame Young’s father, and his spirit is supposed to have pointed out where the wreck lay. Gould, the oil broker, is also financially interested, and then there is J. J. Sullivan, Tom Olsen and James McLaughlin. These people are confident that they have located the wreck and that a fortune awaits them, but then Wrecker Whitelaw says he also has located the wreck, and that it is an altogether different position than where Ross places it. Not a Suicide. The harbor police are investigating what | has the appearance of a suicide. Yester- day a hat and coat were found on Beale- street wharf. When the coat was searched a poll tax reczipt and an order for the payment of $35 was found in the inside pocket. ard Electric Company, and showed that Cavanaugh had been working for that concern at Amador. The natural inference was that Cava- naugh had committed suicide, but an in- quiry at the Standard works showed that he had been there and stopped payment of the order, stating that it and some other papers had been stolen from him. Detectives Egan and Ellis were detailed on the case, and they soon discovered that Cavanaugh had gone to the water front to cool off. He sat down on a stringer and took off his coat and hat. When he had rested he walked home, leaving both articles behind him. Pacific Mail Experiment. The Pacific Mail Company is trying a new experiment. and should it prove suc- cessful a new line to Manila will result. The Government guarantees to send a cer- tain percentage of its supplies for the soldiers in the Philippines by a private line, so the Mail Company has put the Al- goa on the route to see how it will work. Yesterday a load of lumber and railroad ties was being put aboard from the steam- er W. H. Kruger, while merchandise was being loaded into her hold from the wharf. After taking aboard all the freight she can get here the Algoa will go to Puget Sound and there load hay and grain for the Government. Should the venture prove a success the Mail Company will put a regular steamship on between here and Manila. Tt is expected that the Algoa will sail with about 8000 tons of freight. iy sl ‘Water Front Notes. Two mail steamships sail to-day. The Tucapel will get away at noon for Central and South American ports, and the Sierra at 2 p. m. for Honolulu. Among the Sier- ra’s passengers will be Alex B. Watson, for years with Captain John Metcalf, Liloyd’s surveyor. r. Watson is going into business for himself in the islands, and his hundred-and-one friends here ‘wish him success. The Umatilla did not get away until noon yesterday. She was detained by the rush of fruit for Puget Sound. The transport Thomas goes on the dry- dock to-day. There were only two arrivals up to 5 p. m. yesterday. They were the steamers Ban Pedro and Coos Bay. The latter ves- sel was expected the day before, but was delayed at Port Harford owing to a leak in_the boilers. John D. Spreckels & Bros. Co. have pe- titioned the Treasury Department to change the name of the barkentine J. C. Pfiueger to that of Coronado. NEWS OF THE OCEAN. Matters of Interest to Mariners and Shipping Merchants.

FINDS RELEASE - FROM ILLNESS William Juarez Jumps From Lower Deck of Piedmont. He Takes His Own Life While He Is Sick and Very Despondent. A young man named Willlam Juarez jumped from the lower deck of the ferry- boat Piedmont yesterday, aud although every effort was made to save him he sank before help came. The Piedmont left the Oakland slip at 112:25 p. m., and a number of people noticed | a young man pacing the forward deck in a very excited manner. He was talking to himself and gesticulating, but no one thought anything of it. Suddenly he waved his arms and saying something in Spanish rushed through the crowd of peo- | ple who were watching him. He got un- !der the chain that prevents passengers | from going too far forward, and then | pausing long enough to throw a letter on the deck he piunged into the bay. The Piedamont passed right over the body .and one of the paddles must have struck it, for when it came up astern there was no motion. A boat was lowered, but beforé it could reach the spot the body went down. Nothing save the hat was recovered from the suicide. The letter thrown on the deck was addressed to Wil- liam Juarez and was signed by the super- | intendent of the City Street Improvement | Company. It showed that the deceased bad left the company’s employ because of ill health, that his standing with the con- cern was very high and that he could re- turn to work at any time. The father of the deceased Is a prosper- | ous rancher in Napa County. The young man came to the city two years ago, and in December, 1899, went to work for the City Street Improvement Company and | contirued in its employ until June 26 last. He was then taken sick and became very melancholy. He feared that he had lost | his position, and_ the letter he threw on | ithe deck of the Piedmont was an answer | to one from him asking if he might return | to work. | The deceased was 24 years of age. A/ of the family near St. Helena. It has been | said that the young man was despondent | over a. disappointment In love, but the | men who worked with him for the City Street Improvement Company say this is not true. They seem to think that young Juarez was mentally unbalanced when he | Went to his death. | SU SHIH CHIN IS Secretary of the | ’:l‘rieuury Sees No Reason Why He Should Be Debarred. Su Shih Chin, a proscribed enemy of the Dowager Empress of China, was admitted to this country yesterday by order of the | Secretary of.the Treasury, which reached the office of Customs Collector Stratton | yesterday by telegraph. Chin was at large | on bonds Eendlng the hearing of his peti- tion on_habeas corpus in the United | States District Court. The bonds have been declared exonerated, and the habeas | corpus proceedings will be dismissed. | It {s understood that Su will remain in | this city for some time, collecting funds from Chinese patriots to assist the pend- | ing revolution in favor of the restoration | of the deposed Emperor Kwang Hsu. Re- | former Su will argue the cause of the Em- ! eror in the columns of the Chinese | World, a daily paper published on Dupont street 'in the interest of the revolution. He is a college graduate, being a Bachelor of Arts from the Peking University. Min- ister Wu Ting Fang at Washington and his nephew, Consul General Ho Yow, at this port, protested against the | landing of the revolutionist and alleged | that he had secured his passport from a | taotai at Shanghai by false represen!a-\ tions, and that if the taotal had known Chin’s character and identity he would not have issued the passport. The Secretary of the Treasury decided that this Government could not debar Chinese immigrants of the favored classes because of political offenses. ——————— CITES DANIEL T.
