The line parted, how- | ever, and before it could again be made fast the wreck had been carried by the ebb tide into rough water, where a boat could not reach it. Captain Bailey savs the wreck must have been floating for | some time, as the mast was badly chafed. | Denderah Brings Few Passengers.

ADJUTAMNT I CARABAD TTIRED in the uniform of the Sultan of Turkey, Joseph Gara- bed, who was known here eight: een years ago as ‘‘Joe the Turl conducted the Salvation Arm: service last night in the basement of 207 Grant avenue. It was a unique spectacle that this Asiatic son in his bright Orientat garb presented as he met In brotherhood with the somber attired Salvationists, exhort- ing in pure, inviting English his atten- tive audience to strive to lead. righteous lives. No less unique was~his voice, sing- ing the hymns and the songs of the Sal- vation Army. All joined Joseph; or, as i he is officially designated by the’Salva- tion Army, Adjutant J, Garabed, in the moving march strains, and with no less interest did the assemblage look with wonder upon this very wonderful man, Christian exhorter, master of the English, German, Swedish, Dutch, French and Turkish languages, a proficient cornetist, a saxaphone and clarinet soloist. This is no new fad with Garabed. When first the army came to this city eighteen and saunter out to listen to the members with their drums and their tambourines, their cornets and trombones. He was not so well acquainted then English language, but knew enough to be enthralled with the, words of the speakers.

Fired with enthuslasm for the cause he closed his shop and turned his energy and Oriental fire to the service of the army.

Partner Accuses Him of Em- bezzlement, but Son De- iends Him. Frank H. Eckenroth, junior member of the firm of Bach, Meese & Co., liquor dealers at 321 Montgomery street, took nis own life last Tuesday night at his residence, 1009 Mason street, by as- phyxidting himself with illuminating gas. His body was found at 5:30, o’clock yes- terday morning, and by his side was a note in his handwriting reading as fol- lows: All this comes from trying to pay my just and honest debts, but fate seems against me. This act is not caused by gambling, dissipation, women or horseracing. It Is simply bad luck, and those to whom I am indebted I hope for my wite and children’s sake will have a good word for me. P. 8.—Make the funeral services as simple and private as posstble, Mr. Bach, senior member of the firm, sald yesterday that he was not surprised | at the suicide of his partner. Eckenroth 'entered the office of the firm nearly thirty years ago as officé boy. He displayed so | much aptitude for the business. that he | was promoted to the position of book- | keeper, and finally, upon the retirement | of Mr. Meese, became full partner. A | year or two ago Mr. Bach says he began | to suspect shortages, but did not suspect | kis partner until recently, when he or- | dered an finvestigation of the accounts of | the firm. The investigation, Bach claims, | showed defalcations and that the accounts | had been falsified. Eckenroth had been despondent for some time ;ast because of the trouble he | was in, and threatened to do away with himself. He leaves a widow and two chil. | dren. 1 Frank H. Eckenroth Jr., elder son of the deceased, made the following state- ment last evening: Having seen a statement in an evening paper alleged to have come from John Baah, senior member of the firm of Bach, Mecse Co., in which It was stated that my father w short in his accounts and was subject to gam- bling, I have to make an emphatic denial of such charges. My father, as every one will say who knew him, was neither a gambler nor a drinking man,’ nor given to vice of any description. He was devotedly fond of his family and never, unless working at night, so much as went out for his own pleasure unless attended by my mother or some member of the household. ~He was, as every one knows, charitable even to a fault. No poor man could approach him without having his wants grati- fied. The statement which I have referred to I cannot, mor can any member of my family | or personal friends, understand. My father was an officer of Stanford Parlor, Native Sons, for many years and recently resigned the treas- urership of that paror, in which he was held in highest esteem.

OF A GITY BANK Conflicting Stories Told Concerning Light on the Bark Max. John K. Bulger and O. F. Bolles, United States, Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers, will begin an investigation to-day into the collision of the ill-starred steamer Walla ‘Walia and the French bark Max. The officers and crews of both vessels will be called upon to testify. Frederick Henry, representing the own- ers of the Max, refused yesterday to ac- cept the subpenaes issued by the inspec- tors for the attendance of the captain and other officers of the bark at the investi- gation. The matter was laid before United States Marshal Shine, whe will serve the subpenaes on the parties named this morning and notify them that they will be punished for contempt of court if tney refuse to obey the summons. The inspectors will try to fix the blame for the disaster. The officers and crew of the Max claim that their lights were burning and that they could see the Walla Walla fifteen minutes before the collisicn. The lookout on the Walla Waila claims that he saw a light, but did not see the bark until she was on top of the steamer. Other members of the steamer’s crew claim that the Max displayed no lights. - %aplaln C. F. Swan, one of the oldest navigators on this coast, who was on the Walla Walla at the time of the collision, speaks in the highest praise of the offi- cers and crew of the steamer. He is now a patient at the German Hospital. Ten hours’ exposure on a life raft and a dis- located knee prevent him attendihg the investigation. He prepared the following statement for The Call and will submit one to the proper officials in order to stop unnecessary criticism of Captain Hall and his officers: I am one of the survivors of the Walla Walla. Iam now in the German Hospital and bave not 'spoken to anyone about the disaster. I have read many criticisms of the captain and crew for not doing their duty in saving life. As a sailor I feel it my duty to say something in their behalf. I know that all survivors feel the loss of their loved ones and their property, but they must not allow grievances to cloud their reason. They should not judge too rashly. 1 was not on deck when the collision occurred, but soon after the Walla Walla was struck. The master and officers of the steamer did all that could be done at that trying moment. They behaved splendidly and deserve praise and not eriticlem for their actions. The Max was to have moved to Green-street wharf yesterday, but owing to it being occupied the change of an- chorage will not be made until to-day.

W. H. STANDLEY, Lieutenant U. S. Navy, in Chargs, o Suit by Smiths' Cash Store Against First Nat’onal. The firm known as Smith's Cash Store, through its attorneys, Denson & Sehies- inger and E. R. Bellew, filed a suit in the United States District Court yesterday against the First National Bank of this city for $100,000 damages alleged to have been sustained by the firm because of the bank’s agtion in refusing to homor its checks on January 29, 1900 The complaint alleges that on the date mentioned the firm had sufficient cash on hand in the bank® to pay all the checks that were payable on that date, but that in spite of that fact the bank refused to honor checks of the store of the value of about $3750, and by such refusal impaired the credit of the complainant and forced its creditors to press their demands so that the firm was obliged to make an as- signment for the benefit of its creditors. The firm avers that by the “unreasonable, willful and malicious act of the bank as aforesaid’ it has sustained damage to the extent of $§100,000 in loss of ecredit and profits. On_behalf of Barclay J. Smith, senior member of the firm, Attorney Schlesinger has made the following statement public of what it will attempt to prove: At the time of the refusal of the bank o pay checks the business amounted to $600,000 a year. The flrm Gevosits to the bank aver- aged about $2000 a day for several years. It is claimed that on the 29th day of January, 1900, the firm had nearly 38000 to ita credis in bank, as shown by the bank’s passbook, and that checks were drawn cn that day amount- ing to_about $3750. At the same time the First National Bank held a note of Smiths' Cash Store, given' the day before, for $4000. The rote was not due and Smiths’ Cash Store was not asked to pay it. It is claimed that without any notice to the store, the First Na- tional Bank deducted from its deposit the amount of the note and declined to pay a large number of checks issued by the store to the amount of $3750. The indebtedness of the stors at that time amounted to about $100,000, but only a few thousand dollars of it Was due, and the asscts of the concern far exceeded its Ha- bilities. Owing to the action of the bank, the creditors became clamorous for their money and forced Smiths' Cash Store to assign.
