To those who called at the lodging- bouse the information was given by Con- stantine that Rockman was in the “inner office,” after a bellboy had told the callers }&go to rooms 19 and 20, instead of room In the “inner office” Rockman explained his plan of work. He claimed to have a compound to make whisky with the aid of alcohol and water. He asked each applicant for $0 for a copy of the recipe, and to those who in- vestigated Rockman sald: The Government officials mever think of in- | Epecting the contents of bottles in saloons. This compound costs $1 50 a quart. A little of 1t added to @ half pint of alcohol and three pints of water will make a fine whisky. The schemers would try to sell the recipe, saying the purchaser would make money by doing business with saloon men. At the office at 20 O'Farrell street Rock- man has tried to sell his “recipe” for use in the Hawailan Islands and the Philip- pines. He was in the office yesterday, and Moore was in charge during the evening. Moore when questioned told an evasive story as to his dealings with Rockman, and claimed to be in the oil business, but admitted that he was “dickering” for the purchase of Rockman's “‘busines: The internal revenue agents and the lo- | cal detective officers are likely to take a | hand in the affairs of the schemers if the latter remain in San Francisco. —_———— CAVAGNARO’S WINE VAULTS ENTERED BY BURGLARS| | he knew Professor Knowlton.

Anyhow, Uncle Sam has made ample provisions for the new year, s0 nobody aboard the Sheridan will suffer. Work on the Sherman and Logan Is rogressing and both vessels will proba- ly be rea service in January. The Inveramsay Arrives. The British ship Inveramsay made port yesterday. She had an ordinary passage until the latitude of Pitcairn was reached. There a storm raged and the ship was hove to. Finauy the gale sub- eided and the islanders came off with fruit and vegetables. Everybody was well on the island and the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty seemed happy and contented. Off the Farallones the Inveramsay met with batfling winds which delayed her arrival several day; The Inveramsay carries 2300 tons of coal] and is consigned to Balfour, Guthrie & Co.

Owing to a severe throat cold which is afflicting Professor Ebenezer Knowlton the investigation of the charges of incom- petency made against him by Albert Ly- ser, principal of the John Swett Grammar School, was abruptly terminated yester- day. morning after being under way for fifteen minutes. Knowlton's voice gave out, and despite the ministration of lozen- | ges offered by School Director Mrs. Kin- | ) $147 95 | which he had hidden on the drain board caid and the expressed sympathy of friend and foe he could not make himself heard withcut great effort. School Director Denman was put upon the stand when the session began, and Attorney McPike opened the defense for Knowlton by his examination of Denman. The latter testified that he had lived in San Francisco for fifty years and that for thirty-five years he was connected with the school department, during which time this McPike struck a snag. “What is your opinion of Professor Enowlto ‘as’ an educator?” asked Mc- e. Denman pondered over the question, fin- | ally resolving that it was not a fair one, as he was sitting as a _judge during the investigation. Director Casserly could see no reason why the question should not be answered, but Mrs. Kincaid did. She said that while Professor Knowlton might have been a very good teacher in his day he might also be very inefficient at the present time. Denman was not pressed to answer. The case will reopen on Thursday, when t is expected that Judges Sloss and Dunne, Albert Scott, Alfred Roncovieri and Abe Ruef will testify in favor of Knowlton. Knowlton testified as to the length of time he has been a teacher. Then he was seized by a fit of whispers. STORM ON COAST PASSES. Belated Vessels Now Have Chance t> Reach Port. Captains of steamships now arriving say the storm off the Oregon coast has passed. Captain Hall of the collier Edita and Captain Seaman of the Czarina both say they had a most enjoyable trip from the Sgund. On no occasion were the ves- sels in danger, and the seas off Flattery and the Columbia River were no more heayy than usual. Captain Hall sald: I don’t think there is any doubt that the Matteawan and all hands are gone. One of her boats, some of her fire buckets and the medi- cine chest were washed ashore. -1 investigated the matter and know what I am talking about. The wreckage was most assuredly from the Matteawan and 1 think she went ashore and did mot go down. All colliers carry 200 tons less in winter than they do in summer. This does not seem very much to a landsman, but it gives the vessel eight inches more freeboard and every saflor knows what that means. Now the Matteawan was elght inches more out of the water when she struck the gale than when she left the Sound last November. There- fore 1 think she was perfectly seaworthy. Some- thing must have happened to her steering gear and she was driven ashore. Had she gone down there would never have been anything heard rom he ———— ‘Water Front Notes.

William Bone, a miner, who sued the Ophir Silver Mining Company and the Mexican Gold Mining Company for $50,- 000 damages for injuries received while working in a mine of the companies at Virginia City, Nev., December 30, 1900, was awarded §25,000 yesterday by a jury in Judge Hunt's court. The jury was out only eighteen minutes, Bone lost his sight and was severely injured otherwise by the explosion of a dynamite cart- ridge, which he struck with his pick.

Its quality tells the story. 5y are for- and for the a3 B o <L HE mascot of the Fish Commis- sioners’ steamer Albatross is dead. “Jerry” was known from one end of the Alaskan coast to the other, and many a choice piece of salmon did he eat in his day. For seventeen years the cat was the favorite of the crew, and when he died of old age Mon- day the men decided to bury him among the sailors of the fleet. Yesterday the crew, to the number of twenty-eight, received leave of absence, and at once went ashore and secured a brass band. Then they went back to the ship and asked for the use of the long- boat. The body of “Jerry,” suitably draped and in a regulation shaped coffin, was_passed down, and there was not a “jack” in the boat who did not drop a tear over the coffin. ‘When the shore was reached the crowd disembarked and the cortege headed for march from *‘Saul,” and when the sailor's grave was reached the boatswain pro- nounced a eulogy over the cat and the in- terment was over. Of all the cats that ever served under Uncle Sam’s flag “Jerry’’ was perhaps the ot famous. Once his dismal catcalls drew attention to the fact that the ship was in danger. A hail to the lookou: showed that an iceberg was on the port quarter. During a southeaster a _sailor fell overboard and the cat by its frantic actions drew the attention of the officer on duty and a life buoy was thrown, which proved the salvation of the jack tar. ‘Whenever there was a festal occasion, either ashore or afloat, “Jerry” was ai- W there, and whether in the officers’ mess or in the sailors’ quarters he Wwas equally at home. His death came as a surprise, as Sunday last he was in good health, but old age was telling on him. Monday “Jerry” was taken sick, and in spite of the skill of a veterinary he died. Over his grave the Albatross men have placed a tablet on which is inscribed: JERRY, Who is Reincarnated. An Humble Friend and Wise Counsglor, ‘Who Never Forsook a Friend Nor Mistook an Enemy.
