The launch was fast to a S‘m'i | merged pile under Main street wharf, and time was flitting rapidly by. It was an awful time for the investigat- ing Commissioners. They started out | ayly enough in a launch to view the | gocks, and there they were stranded un- | | der a wharf.. That broken pile held the | launch as in a vice. There was water all around them, and the heavy planks above them. No sound could be heard from be- | neath, although Budd tried the stentorian | tones ‘of his voice in all the varied pitches | he had used on the banks of the Mokel- | umne, Cosumnes and Stockton slough. | lunch is getting cold,” moaned Kilburn, | “Oh, drat your lunch,” responded Her- | | old, “I want a drink.” | | *““Let somebody jump overboard and | | swim ashore,” said Chief Engineer Nor- | ton.

A jury was secured in Judge Cook's court yesterday to try James M. Dunphy, who is charged with the murder of Ed- ward Stanton October 27 last at the cor- { ner of Minna and Mary streets. The talesmen who satisfactorily answered all questions and were sworn to try the case | are J. M. Merrill, J. E. Dealey, J. W. Tamm, Jame® Walsh, 1. Frahm, J. H. Dooley, George Lake, W. H. Tilson, W. E. Lovejoy, M. Stockwitz, Andrew Jack- son and Philip Hirleman. The defendant | is represented by Attorney J. J. Barrett | of this city and Attorney John T. Ryan of Vallejo. Assistant District Attorneys Weller and Alford are conducting the prosecution. It was apparent from the cross-exam- ination of the witnesses by Attorney Bar- | rett that self-defense will be pleaded and | justification urged from the alleged fact that Stanton deceived Dunphy's sister and talked about it in Vailejo. | Policeman R. N. Silver testified to ar- | resting Dunphy a few minutes after the | commission of the crime. He said that Dunphy stated he had spoken to Stanton, who_said he would blow the roof of his head off, and made a motion with his hand toward his hip pocket. Then Dun- phy shot him, as he did not want to take any chances. Dunphy said that Stanton had deceived his sister and he had been searching for him for two weeks. The Friday night before the murder Dunphy said he was unarmed and met Stanton with four or five friends, and they { “jumped” him. It was after that he bought the two revolvers which he used in killing Stanton. After the shooting Dunphy asked to be protected, as he was L e Y ) afraid of Stanton’s brother. . Policemen Robert Conner and David ——— cold,” said Kil- burn, as he withdrew a finger he had stuck in the briny deep, as he lay prone on his stomach. The shock and the ex- citement keeled him over, and he was tenderly laid on the cabin floor, suffering from nervous prostration. “Oh, this awful,” all “We'll never get off. One mighty shout and then another went up from the stranded investigators. It echoed under the wharf, ricocheted on the swell causpd by a passing steamer, and was finally’lost on the windward side of Goat Island. The frantic efforts of the party to ex- tricate themselves from a predicament | into which their tour of investigation had led them were unavailing. For over two hours their launch hung on that sub- merged pile, and they were about resign- ing ‘themselves to the apparent fate of being shipwrecked in sight of land, when at last help came. A Whitehall boat passed about a hundred yards away. Handkerchiefs, coats and hats were waved in the air, the whistle was tooted, and at last the Whitehall was turned in the direction of the launch. Wild with jov at the prospect of relief they jumped on deck and hugged each other. The boat drew near. ‘“You first, Herold,” said Budd, gal- lnntl{. “After you, Governor,” sald Herold, not to, be excelled in politeness. “Golahead, Chief,” and Henderson and Norton prepared to get on. “Kilburn first.”” said the others, and he was_tenderly handed over the side, laid on the seats, and rowed ashore. One by one the others got off. Kilburn was sent home in a carriage and all the others swore one another to secrecy. The launch floated at high tide, none the worse for wear. “The water is awful exclaimed in Let us all BOARD SUSPENDS SCHODL TEACHER William : Zimmerman’s Suit Causes Loss of Position. The Board of Education yesterday sus- pended Willlam Zimmerman from his po- sition of teacher of German in the Poly- technic High School. The suspension is effective pending ‘the determination of charges of incompetency preferred against Zimmerman by Principal W, N. Bush., The board's action is the result of Zimmerman's change of base in request- ing an investigation and then serving a writ of injunction on the board. L V., Costello, Zimmerman’s attofney, the board’s action in suspending his client is contempt of court, inasmuch as Judge Dunne'’s writ restrained the board from removing or suspending Zimmerman un- til it had been decided. Leave of absence was granted to Mrs. M. Jol.nson for one month. L e e e e e Y ) Murphy gractlcnlly gave the same testi- mony as Silver. B. W. Davis, a steward at the Emer- gency Hos‘mal. testified that he did not find a revolver in Stanton’s pocket. Joseph Frey, a nurse, living at 430 Min- na street, was an eye-witness to the shooting. He testified that he was sitting at his window and heard two or thres shots. He looked out and saw a man ly- ing on the sidewalk, face downward. He saw the defendant walk up to the man stretched on the sidewalk and fire four or five shots into the prostrate form. This ended the testimony for the day, and the case was continued till this morn- ng. v —e— claims SACRAMENTO, Dec. 11L—A clairvoyant styling himself “‘Sir” T. N.'

FACTIONAL WAR IN LABOR PARTY Bold Scheme to Displace J. 8. Parry From Leadership. Fight Places Mayor - Elect Schmitz in Awkward Predicament. There is war in the camp of the Union Labor party. One faction:is clamoring for the overthrow of J. S. Parry, chair- man of the executive committee of tle new party. Night before last under the guise of proceeding to reorganize the com- mittee a bold dash was made to supplant Parry of the Plledrivers’ Union by the election of William Dé€laney of the Machinists’ Union. The supporters of Delaney in the committee assert that iLe raid was successful and that Delaney “is it.” On the other hand the Parryites maintain that the proceeding was vold and that their man Parry is still the chairman of the committee. Indicatlons oint to prolonged and bitter strifa. eorge F. Aubertine of the Barbers' Union .Is in the same boat with Parry. The committee voted to make J. Dowling of the Hackmen’'s Unlon secretary. The faction which claims that the reorganizi- tion was regular and valid elected as vice chairman Timothy Ryan of the Brother- hood of Teamsters, and as treasurer John McKeon of the Riggers' and Stevedores’ Union. Parry Close to Schmitz. The executive committee consists of twentK-nve members. J, 8. Parry, who was chairman of the body during the late municipal campaign .and who insists that he holds the championship now, is com- monly sup};o!ed to be next to Mayor-clect Schmitz. It is.a well known fact that Schmitz in the fight' was never out of Parry’'s sight unless he was in hailing dis- tance of Ruef. All three were active members of the Republican Primary League, and in the rooms of the league Ruef and Parry adjusted the wires for Schmitz’s nomination by the Labor party. In fact Schmitz ' was waited on by a com- mittee and: agreed to accept the nomin- ation before the convention was called into existence. Ruef’s scheme to obtain for Schmitz the indorsement of the Re- publican lunicipal Convention’ was not carried out, but the plan to elect Schmitz without such indorsement ‘was readily adopted by Ruef and Parry, and proved successful, By the turning down of Parry several labor leaders of Democratic tendencies who have not had an opportunity to get next to Schmitz hofe to approach the pie counter of the next administration and help themselves and ‘their friends to choice slices. It is common rumor that several executive committeemen huve made promises of pB!ronage, and it now remains to be seen whether they c¢an make good. Embarrassing for Mayor-Elect. Mayor-elect Schmitz is likely to be Elnced in a very embarrassing position etween the two factions. He may decide to recognize both in the award of patron- | age to party workers, but he will doubt- less first employ all the tact and diplo- macy that he possesses. to bring abcut reconciliation in the camp. . The outbreak of hostilitles took place just at the time | lans | that the committee was considerin for putting a labor ticket in the fleld at San Jose, with the hope of capturing the works at the spring election in that town. It is hlghlg probable that the work of extending the organization to other locali- ties will be suspended pending the war over the distribution of San Francisco patronage. Rallying to Mrs. Kincaid’s Support. | The hint thrown out recentl; b¥ mqg- elect Schmitz that the Board of oa - tion ought to be reorganized by the ex- clusion of women has alarmed the friends of Mrs. Kincaid. The Assoclation of Collegiate Alumnae, composed of resident college women of all universities, has adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, It fs just and expedient that a woman should be a member of the San Fran- clsco Board of Education; and Whereas, The thoughtful and economical work of Mrs. Mary W. Kincaid has proven profitable to the school children and to the citizens 6f San Francisco, now, therefore, be it | Resolved, That it is the sense of the Cali- | forria Branch of the Association of Colleglate Alunnae that Mrs. Kincaid should be re- appointed or a woman equally competent should be appointed to the San Francisco Board of Education, and we hereby respectfully petl tion the honorable, the Mayor-elect of Sa Francisco, to this end. Murderer Dalton Convicted. PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 1L.—William H. Dalton was 'to-day found guilty of mur- der iIn the first degree for the killing of James B. Morrow on the morning of No- vember 21. Dalton was jointly indicted with ‘“Jack’” Wade for the murder, and the latter pleaded guilty. James B. Mor- row was on his way home shortly after mldnlg‘ht when he was held up and killed by Dalton and Wade. They mistook him for a gambler whom they believed to have a large sum of money on his per- son. Wade will appear to-morrow before Judge Frazer of the State Circuit Court, Who will decide whether he is guilty of murder in the first or second degree. — e e e ADVERTISEMENTS.
