Police’s Vigorous Action Pre- vents Interference With Work. gy | Work along the water front has resumed { Its normal condition and vessels are load- | ing and discharging, goods being hauled 1o and from the docks with facility and | | dispatch. The vigorous action of the po- | lice has uced the interference with the work of the port to 2 minimum. The men that came forward in the emergency are becoming more useful every day, and as none of the labor in voluntary idleness could be classed as ‘‘skilled” the exist- ence of the strike will soon be more a matter of discussion in the councils of the | City Front Federation than a factor in the commercial machinery of the port. The Britls hips Celtic Monarch and King Bdward sailed vesterday with full cargoes of grai and to-day and to-mor- row the following fleet, similarly laden, will get under wi The Mooltan, Do- venby, Foyledale, Glenesslin and W. F. | Babecck. The k of discharging the { other BEritish ships in port is going on as | if no strike existed, and the few passen- ger coasting gteamers that were com- | pelled for a while to sall at-irregular in- | tervals have now resumed their regular | schedules. > | - | S Judge Fritz Refuses to Hold Boy { Who Shot in Self-Defense. The case of Raymond Morris, a boy 15 vears of age, charged with murder, was heard before Judge Fritz vesterday and dismissed. The evidence | showed that the boy, who is employed on | the steamer Eureka, was walking along the Vallejo-street wharf to the vessel on { the merning of September 23, when he was approached by Jens Peter Sorenson, a union sailor picke:, who caught him by the arm and asked him where he was go- ing. The boy told him, and Sorensen said, “You are, are you?” .Just then another striker approached, and the boy becoming | alarmed pulled & small revolver out of his ket and fired a shot, the bullet strik- i lapel of Sorensen’s coat and | loaging in his sweater. i Judge, in dismissing the case, said: he only question in my mind is her or not the defendant acted in . _The defendant was very _and frank in his statement and evidently telling the truth as to what happered on the wharf, and it does not conflict with the testimony for the people. The question is whether the words ‘You are, are you? and the grasp of the com- ig witness were sufficient to incite There also another fact, and that is that another picket was approaching ihe steamer landing and was then only about four yards away. If the defendant | were a full-grown man instead of a boy of 15 I think I should hold him. Of course |1 in View of the present excite think, ment and the boy knowing that he was 1th2g(d in what cak i is commonly termed scabbing,’” that he had a just and season- able fear that he was about to be at- tacked, the words, ‘You are, are you? | seem to imply a threat as much as to say, { 'I will see whether you are or not.” I am | gl that no serious damage was done, | because to my mind the picket did not in- tend to use violence. But I have to take | the mind of the defendant in this case; | what he thought and whether he belleved - the appearances be Owing to this and the further fact & defendant is only 15 years of age, I decline to hold him to answer to the | charge. | —_— | Fines for Strikers. Richard Olliver, a striker who was con- victed by Judge Conlan Wednesday of battery for beating Special Officer McAl- lister on Stevenson street, September 19, appeared for sentence vesterday. The Judge sentenced him to pay a fine of $, to_be taken from his bail money. ¢ J. ¥. Cole, who was convicted by Judge Fritz We ay for carrying a concealed weapon in the shape of a slungshot, ap- peared for sentence yesterday and was fine: , with the alternative of fifty days ie was arrested on the water d denied he was a striker.

S 8 nat trouble over the uses to which $i00 sent by Ed Rosenberg of the | San Francisco Labor Council was put was cause of the change. The money was nt for strike purposes, but it is alleged | that it was diverted to other uses. - Machinists From the East. | A party of eleven machinists arrived last night from the East. They came to the coast in the expectation of being e ployed in the Risdon Iron Works. Two | of “the. party are union men and when they learned that a strike was ln progress they refused to accept employment, but | reported at the machinists’ headquarters. | Another par comprising eight boiler- makers and seven machinists, is expected | to arrive from Chicago to-night.

SAN JOSE, Sept. new Carnegie libra s to be located is agitat] the citizens’ minds. When the library was secured Mayor Martin and others interested in obtaining the gift for San Jose secured a grant from the State for a lot in the State Normal square at the ccrner of Fourth and San Fernando streets. This pleased the general public and it was supposed the building would be erected there. A couple of weeks ago Mayor Martin went to British Columbia on a leave of absence and when he was out of the State the Councilmen took af- | fairs into their own hands. The site of the | library was changed from St. James Park ut now upon investigation it is found the park cannnt be used for thal pur- pose under the law by which it was ac- quired. Now the Council wants to switch it to the City Hall Park. Most of th people favor the Normal Square, and the are endeavoring to influence the Council to have it there. WANT TWO MILLIONS FOR A NOME HARBOR TACOMA, Sept. 26.—Nome advices say that\an effort will be made to enlist Gov- ernment ald in the dredging of a harbor for Nome. Engineers who have given the subject considerable attention express the opinon that with a couple of million dollars a _harbor could be made commen- surate with the shipping importance of Nome. Others who have examined the plan think it impracticable. According to one plan prepared it is in- tended to have a channel fronting Nome 10,000 feet long, 600 feet wide and thirty feet deep. At either end there would be an approach channel thirty feet deep, 400 feet wide and 5000 feet long. This work can be accomplished by a_system of hy- draulic dredge mining. idea is to permit of a line of docks immediately in front of Nome so that the largest vessels in any kind of weather could run into a port of safety. There would be timber and rock core constructed twenty feet wide, with embankments made from dredgings. —_— Child Dies After a Slight Fall. SAN DIEGO, Sept. 26.—An exceeflingly slight accident was the ca of the death to-night of Marguerite O'Connor, the 9- year-old daughter of the grdnance ser- geant at the parracks.

The firm of Kohler & Chase secured. a warrant a few days ago for Hoyt's arrest. He was employed by them about seven weeks ago as an outside salesman. He was a smooth talker and an accomplistied pianist.
