Stanford’s President Tells of Conditions Following Annexation. | R H Epeclal Dispatch to The Call { | STANFORD UNIVERSITY, July 22— President David Starr Jordan, who left San Francisco for the Hawafian Islands immediately after the university com- | mencement in May, returned home to-day. Dr. Jordan went out as scientific head of an expedition for the United States Fish Commission. His colleague in the work | and its business head wzs Dr. Everman of | the Smithsonian Institution. Besides these two there were in the party John N. Cobb, | statistician; Mr. Goldborough; George | Shindo, a Stanford University student, and two artists. Dr. Everman became ill from drinking undistilled water shortly after reaching the islands and returned to the United States, leaving Dr. Jordan | in full charge. Dr. Everman is now slow- | ly recuperating at the home of Dr. Jor- dan on the campus. The expedition was sent out by the Gov- ernment under a provision of the annex- |ation act which required, among other things; that fishes and fisheries of the isl- ands should be investigated and reported upon, as a basis for Congressional legis- lation. The work has been both historical and sclentific. A complete copy of all the laws that had been passed before annex- ation was made under the direction of Mr. | Cobb and will serve as the base of his re- port. 1 Queer Fishery Laws. These laws show that conditions have existed, and still exist, that are forelgn to | American laws. For example, individuals hold as private property the bed of the | ocean for as much as a mile from the shore. Such owners have the right to | “taboo" certain species of fish or to forbid | | hin their grants. The effect of “‘tabooing” is that all persons who take ghe “tabooed” fish must give them up to | the owner of the water in which they are taken. The “tabooing” of fish was one of the | royal prerogatives during the monarchy. | Frequently, in times of royalty, arms of a re fenced off from the ocean bor, and granted as fish pre- fe persons who were often These various water rights, which have survived the passing of the monarchy and the annexation, will fur- | nish mes for the consideration of Congress. purely scientific work of the expe- dition has proved very important. Up to | the time of Dr. Jordan's departure 240 | species had been taken. Of these fifty | were new. If nothing more had been | done than simply to secure these speci- | mens the summer's work would have | been a success. | Expert Fishermen Needed. The fish que: on is of great import-| ance to the islands because of the de-| pendence of all cl but more par- ticularly the natives, upon fish for| food. ~Deep sea _fishing 1s little | carried on, because of lack of crews. The | patives are not good for the purpose, | { and no others are to be had. Dr. Jor- | | dan’s suggestion to obviate this difficulty | | is that expert fishermen from San Fran- | cisco be induced to go to Honolulu. The supply of fish that can be_ taken | near the shore is being depleted by the | steady drain upon it. Especial recom- | mendation will be made to Congress by Dr. Jordan on this subject. { The main provisions of the legislation suggested will be—First, that fishing in some waters be en-| tirely prohibited for a time; sec-| ond, that there be a closed season dur- | ing ‘the time for spawning; and third, that Ming with nets of less than a three- | | inch mesh be forbidden.

Most of them have been fll on first arriving, though on re- | covering they seem to have proved fair | workers, The United States cannot be depended upon for the labor supply, since Americans are usually able to find | more profitable employment. | Politics on the Islands. The future of the islands politically is/ uncertain. Dr. Jordan believes the Terri- torial form of government will be the best possible. The present Legislature is composed principally of natives, with a few Americans and one Russian. The legislative efficiency of the people wiil continually improve with experience. It is Dr. Jordan's opinion that the evil of corruption in the Legislature is little to | be feared, as mercenary considerations | do not strongly influence the native Ha- | waiians. He believes, however, that it probably would have been the wisest to have imposed a property qualification for voting. At present both the Chinese and the Japanese, who compose the chief in- | dustrial strength of the islands, are ex- | cluded. and the qualification for ‘others is | | the ability to read and write the English | or the American language. | —_—— TWO INSTRUCTORS ENGAGED. | Eastern Men to Teach in Stanford’s | Department of English. | STANFORD UNIVERSITY, July 22.— | Raymond Macdonald Alden, instructor| in English at the University of Pennsyl- | vania, has been appoirted assistant pro- fessor of English in Stanford University, where he will enter upon his work in Sep- | tember next. Professor Alden was grad- | uated st the University of Pennsylvania as valedictorian_of his class, afterward studying at the Harvard Graduate School and again at his alma mater, where he took the degree of Ph.D. His thesis for | this degree has been published under the | title: “The Rise of Formal Satire in Eng- lland He is a teacher of approved suc- cess and a practiced public speaker and | debater. He is the author of an excel- ent book on ‘“The Art of Debate,” and will have charge of the training of stu- dents in argumentation. Edward K. Putnam has been appointed instructor of English in Stanford Univer- sity. Mr. Putnam is a native of Daven- rt, Jowa, and was graduated from Ill- nois College in 1891. For nearly five years he was engaged in newspaper work, hold- ing responsible positions on the Chicago | dailles. Later he devoted himself to ad- | vanced work in English at the University of Chicago, where he spent two years, and at Harvard, where he received the degree of A. M. in 1883. Mr. Putnam has travel- ed extensively and spent a year_ in re- search work in the Paris and London libraries. He has written several theses, one of which, “The Lambeth Version of | Havelok,” was published in the Proceed- | ings of the Modern Language Association | of America for 1900.

The Overland Freight and Transfer Company, which has a contract with the United States Government to haul bonded goods from the wharf to the warehouse, has been deprived of its usual force of teamsters in consequence of the disturbed relations existing between the Brother- hood of Teamsters gnd the Draymen's Association. When the matter was called to the at- tention of Collector of the Port Stratton yesterday, he notified Charles L. Tilden, the president of the company, and J. V. Fuller, the treasurer, that the goods must be removed from the wharves to the Appraiser’s warehouse at once, and if necessary the United States would place guards upon the wagons to prevent any interference with the drivers. As a result of this ukase, President Tilden and Treasurer Fuller took off their coats and managed to move a quantity of goods, but their efforts would not win them distinction as teamsters. The condition obtaining in the business district yesterday was a tie-up more or less complete of all those industries dependent to a greater or less degree on the services of the draymen., Where hun- dreds of trucks daily rumbled, few were to be seen. On the wharves large ship- ments of fruit awaited removal, but the teamsters refused to haul them and it was found necessary to send large quan- tities to Oakland for sale over there. Any- body who had the means to carry off tne stock could get fruit for a mere song. Demonstrations by Teamsters. Early in the day demonstrations were made by the teamsters, and some of the men driving wagons and trucks left them in the streets without deiivering the loads. Secretary Renner of the Draymen’s Association telephoned to police head- quarters for a tance and officers were detailed to escort the wagons to their destinations. Even this precaution did not prevent a general stoppage of busi- ness. John Law, an old man, who has been employed as a teamster for many years on the water front, endeavored to move a large lot of goods. At the corner of t and Markef streets a heavy case fell off his wagon’ and he was unable to re- place it. He asked some of the by- standers to assist him, which they were willing to do, but some of the strikers’ pickets interfered and it was only after considerable trouble that he obtained the assistance of a few sympathizers and succeeded in loading his wagon. Considerable difficulty was experienced along the water front in the loading and unloading of various vessels. The Brit- ish ship Allerton, at' Main-street wharf, the British General and King Edward at Howard-street wharf and the John Cooke at Beale-street whart could not discharge their cargoes on account of lack of help. The American ship Emily F. Whitney, which has been waiting a load of freight at Oakland, could not be loaded. The ves- sel was put on the drydock to make some needed repairs pending a settlement of the difficulty. At the Pacific Mail dock and at the Oceanic Steamship dock nothing was doing for the reason that there were no steamers either to load or to discharge. Several are expected in within the next forty-eight hours, and it is anticipated that there will be more or less trouble when they arrive. Painters’ Unions May Unite. The Federated Steamship Painters, which organization does not belong to the Water Front Federation, had a contro- versy with the Marine Painters’ Union. The former does the finishing work on the interioy of the cabins while the other union does the outside work. The mem- bers of the Marine Painters’ Union re- fused to work with the Federated Steam- ship Painters and began a strike. After being out for several hours, the Marine Painters’ Union made overtures to the Federated Steamship Painters’ Union for an amalgamation. It is expected that this will be effected very shortly. An effort was made by some of the larger business houses to utllize the smaller express wagons to handle the freight coming in and going out, but the wagons were inadequate to the task. At the Southern Pacific depot at Fourth and Townsend streets a long line of drays were drawn up, but the lack of knowledge of how to ship goods congested the sheds. The pickets from the Brotherhood of Teamsters were on hand, and by deridin, the efforts of the expressmen succeede in Sgru:t.lcall nullifying their efforts. cretary Renner of the Draymen’s As- sociation says that about 500 men were discharged during the day. ‘‘We are meeting the men at all points,” he sald. “If they do not want to work for us on their own terms they can quit just as soon as they please. When the people of San Francisco realize the injustice of their claims they will rise in their might and stop all this foolishness. It is non- sense for any man, or set of men, to at- tempt to dictate to their employers how this or that business may be conducted. ‘We might as well fight the issue to a finish first as last. We are in the fight to stay and propose to teach the laborers a lesson. A few days of this kind of busi- ness will rouse the whole State to action and the end will soon come. The people are getting tired of these Eastern-induced strikes and as it strikes the pockets of every man, woman and child in the com- munity, people will realize that the most determined stand that can be made against these aggressions is the only one that will finally win out. That business should be tied up in this manner at the present time is a disgrace to the intelli- gence of the people of California. The instigation of the strike was trivial. Busi- ness agents who have nothing to gain ar lose are pumping these men full of hat air. They do not give it in hypodermic injections, but make them swallow it just as they would a dose of castor oil. As soon as the froth is off the steam beer that is supposed .to conceal the taste of the castor oil they will find out just “What Happened to Jones.’ . At the teamsters’ headquarters, at 672 Fourth street, the executive committee of the Brotherhood of Teamsters was in ses- SOME INCIDENTS OF THE FIRST DAY OF THE TEAMSTERS' LOCK- OUT. - sion all day.

Mayor O’Hara of Santa Paula, Victim of the Rioter, Is Near Death. e Special Dispatch to The Call. VENTURA, July 22.—Feeling still runs high in Santa Paula over the shooting of Mayor Paul O’'Hara by rioters yesterday, and there is a probability that should the Mayor's wound prove fatal the populace | will not wait for the slow-going and un- | certain law to wreak vengeance upon his | assassin.

The matter will come up again for discussion to-day. So far about 1500 men are affected by the controversy, Sec- retary Michaels of the Employers’ Asso- ciation says that that body is wholly and heartily in sympathy with the Dray- men’s Association and will lend borh moral and financial support to crush the trouble in its incipiency. A census was taken yesterday of the position assumed by each member of the Draymen’s Union. Every firm that re- quires the use of a dray or team in the corduct of its business was requested to make a statement, and the results show- ed that a very large majority was in fa- vor of giving the teamsters a chance to display their strength until the contro- versy died a natural death. TUuless the Oakland Freight and Trans- fer Company is in position at noon to-dey to handle the freight that is destined for the government's bonded warehouse, the United States Government will take a hand in the matter and insist upon its de- livery. Collector of the Port Stratton does ot Intend to allow any one to inter- fere, and ample protection will be afford- ed the teamsters who are called upon to move these bonded goods. No action has yet been taken by the Porters, Packers and Warehousemen, or any of the other unions connected with the Water Front Federation. The execu- tive council of the federation had several meetings during the day to dicuss the sit- uation, but was unabie to decide upon any definite plan of action. The lockout inaugurated by the Draymen's Association has placed them somewhat at a disadvan- tage. A special meeting will be held to consider the situation some time during the day-.

ENDS HI5 LIFE ON LAKE CHELAN Former Land Office Re- ceiver A. G. Neal a Suicide. Goes for a Row Near Water- ville and Is Found Dead in His Boat. pces O Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, July 2.—Dr. J. M. F. Coop- er of Waterville brought the news to this city this morning that A. G. Neal, for- merly United States Receiver of the Land Office there, was found dead in a row boat on Lake Chelan on Sunday morning. Neal was a prominent citizen and his death has cast a gloom over the entire county. He evidently committed suicide, although it cannot be conjectured what led to such a step. Neal lived at Chesaw, nearly one hun- dred miles from where he died. He had been in Waterville and went over to Che- lan, twenty-five miles, on business. On Friday he paid his hotel bill and said he was going for a row across the lake. As he did not return, search was made and the man was found dead in his boat. Neal was appointed Recelver by Grover Cleveland. He was unmarried, but was to have wed Miss Etta Moore of Water- ville on Thursday of this week. He was a lawyer and realty broker. Judge Neal of Davenport is a brother of the deceased. BLIGHT IS SPREADING IN TULARE ORCHARDS Horticultural Commissioner Riley Gives Warnitg to Owners of Pear Trees. VISALIA, July 22.—Horticultural Com- missioner O. S. Riley said to-day that the pear orchards of the San Joaquin Valley | would soon be things of the past unless | some means could be devised to check the ravages of a disease known as pear blight. He said that nine-tenths of the | orchards of Kings and Fresno counties were affected. The blight is spreading through the Tu- lare County orchards at an alarming rate. It attacks the buds first and then work: backward to the branch and trunk. It is the most serifous menace the fruit-growers of this section have ever been called upon to face.
