P e 528 Seven hundred broad acres of choice, fertile land, valued at from $15,000 to $20,- 000, in exchange for a cartlcad of worth- less, unsightly junk, is the strange com- mercial transaction which was almost consummated in this city within the last few days. That the deal, which has on its face all the appearance of a fraud, was not completed and the valuable property given for a heap of rubblsh is due to the knowledge of law and the precaution of Jefferson G. James, the millionaire landowner. Although James was not enticed into parting with any of his acres, he pald sundry express and storage charges on the junk and lost consideraple of his val- uable time over the deal. tie was not the only one, however. R. H. Duncan, a real estate agent of large experience, is even worse oif. For over a month he labored to arrange the deal, hoping thereby to reap a rich commisison and now all he has to show for his work is an interest in about a dozen boxes of unmarketable trash which are at present stored away in 1. Heringhi & Co.’s store at 211 Pine street. The history of this strange and rather Jjudicrous deal involves an account of the | wiles which were practiced by C. G Maxon, a suave young man from Los An- Zeles, on Millionaire James and Real Fsate Agent Duncan, both of whom were desirous of making a few thousand dol- lars easily. Maxon, who is a handsome- ly dressed man with a diamond of the first water sparkling from the immaculate bosom of his shirt and two more gems glittering from his cuffs, came to this city about a month ago.

Duncan ;nd informed him that he had some personal property in Los Angeles, valued at $39,000, which he wished to dis- e of for some fertile land.

Millionaire James, however, was not to let his acres slip through his fingers with- out taking some precaution, so he had the deed placed in escrow—that is, it was not to be of value to Maxon unless the goods were satisfactory when they arrived from Building Prove Un- ruly. ’ Two Elevators in Parrott | ——————— ed From Effects of Liquor. sailor from the Onis- d from the harbor | b Dis dwe Hos- | ffering from | lquor, died at the lat- | day.

FLTh SRR A new labor trouble threatens, and un- less the counsels of those who favor peace is heeded San Francisco is likely to be plunged into a second disastrous strike. The street railroad employes of the ci lately organized into a union, are de- manding of the new syndicate that they be let alone, free to declare their affilis- to Mayor Schmitz to intercede for them | to stop dismissals of men for joining the union, and they declare that unless his efforts are successful they will tie up the streetcar system of the city. A committee of flve from the new unlon, accompanied by President Goff and Sec- retary Rosenberg of the San Francisco Labor Council, with which the union is aftillated, called upon Mayor Schmitz ycs- terday morning and informed him that eight gripmen and conductors had been discharged since last Friday. Of these al least four were discharged by General Manager Vining for having Jjoined the union. The managers of the Sutter-street and San Mateo lines discharged the re- mainder without assigning any reason at all, the committee claims, the cause of the trouble being nothing else than .the union atfihations of the employes who lost their jobs. The committee told the Mayor that unless the new owners would give him assurances that Vining and the other managers of the lines acquired by the syndicate would be stopped in their cru- sade against the union they would be com- pelled to declare a strike and that quickiy. ‘Writes to Duane. Mayor Schniitz at once addressed a communication to James M. Duane, rep- resenting the Eastern owners, and asked for a conference with him with the ob- Ject of arranging a conference between the new corporation and the employes. The Mayor was informed last night that Mr. Duane and his associates now in the city would meet the representatives of the employes at 10 o'clock this morning in_the Mayor’s office. Mr. Duane asked to be excused last night ‘from discussing the subject. He would make no statement regarding the Mayor’s communication. The committee from the unifon_that called upon the Mayor consisted of Rich- grd Cornelius, president of the union; W. T. Jane, Andrew Sorenson, W. J. Gold- kuhl and W. Burton. They had been ap- pointed to confer with the Labor Council people and upon the advice and with-the support of the officers of that organiza- tion 'lhey decided to appeal to the Maycr. ““We cannot let this matter become a new labor conflict,” Mayor Schmitz said yesterday. “We do not want any strikes in this city. As Mayor I shall do what- ever is possible to avert such troubles. They hurt all classes. I hope that we shall be able to settle all differences by conferences or arbitration and avold the methods of warfare. Any strike is bad enough, but a rallroad strike is the worst of ali, and the constant danger of trouble that may end in loss of life, makes it a gonflict to be avolded it there can be any possible peac set}lemem. > PoASHu, kit of “I saw Mr. Duane about a month ago, at the time fourteen men had been dis- charged in ten days for having joined the union. He seemed anxious that his cor- poration should avold confiict with its employes, and he gave me the impression that they would be wiiling to listen to their grievances. The dismissals stopped for the time, but I.am informed by the committee that they began again Friday and have continued with such alarming frequency that a halt must be called or they will resort to a strike. Mr. Vining tells his men whom he discharges that it is done because they have joineq the unic On the Sutter-street line they assign a reason, and in some cases they have even given the discharged men excellent recommendations. Resent Vining’s Interference. “I am told that about two-thirds of the street railway employes of the city have affiliated with the union. The men are not asking concessions in the matter of hours or wages, byt they resent Mr. Vin- ing’s interference with their personal lib- erty in decreeing that.they shall not join a union. However, I hope to secure a frank discussion of the situation by rep- resentatives of the employes and Mr. Duane and Mr. Dellano of the Eastern syndicate, with possibly Attorney General Ford, their attorney.” General Manager Vining asserts that the strength of the union is greatly ex- aggerated. He says that of the 2000 em- ployes of the Market-street Raflway Com- pany lines not more than a hundred have joined the union, and that a large num- ber of these are discharged employes. He does not belleve that one in ten of their employes would be willing to strike (o remedy any of their alleged grievances. ‘Our men are paid 22 cents per hour,' Mr. Vining said. ““Th have the choice of working ten or twelve hours. ‘If an employe wants tojearn $265 instead of 2) he works the extra hours. A day's pay is drawn every day, payment beinyg about three days behind all the time. Five years’ service entitles a man to an extra cent per hour, ten years' to 2 cents, fif- teen years’ to 3 cents and twenty years' to 4 cents, this bonus being paid monthly, This pay is the most liberal to be found in any city in the country except Butte, Mont. We demand loyal service and con- sider jolning in the formation of a union to fight us an act of disloyalty. Of course 1 cannot say what view of the question will be taken by the new owners.” Syndicate Not Yet in Charge. The new corporation, the United Rail- roads of San Francisco, has still little more than a nominal existence, with a dummy board of directors. Pending or- ganization of its working force the old Market Street Railway Company man- agement under Vining _continues in charge, operating the roads for the new tion with the union. They have appealed | Appointee Must Receive the Support of Fourteen Supervisors Before He Can Legally Enter Offlce. Mayor Schmitz stated yesterday that he will veto the resolution adopted by the Board of Supervisors confirming the nomination of George 8. McComb as clerk of the Justices’ Court. The Mayor said that he would not take the ten days allowed him by the charter to act on the resolution, but would send his veto to the Board of Supervisors at next Monday's meeting. The Mayor's reasons for taking unfav- orable action are the same as those he advanced when McComb's name was up for confirmation before the board. The Mayor stated that he was opposed to the appointment of a deposed deputy in for- mer Clerk Willlams' office to the position of clerk. Again, his Honor charged that McComb haa often absented himself from his duties when deputy clerk. This charge McComb acknowledged to ~be true, but pleaded in extenuation that he always pertormed the back work on the next day. It will require the votes of fourteen Supervisors to override the Mayor's veto ¢f the resolution confirming McComb. The appointment of McComb was ratified by the votes of twelve Supervisors—Alpers, Bent, Boogh, Braunhart, Comte, Curtis, I’Ancona, Eggers, Payot, Sanderson, Brandensteln and Wilson. The four United Labor party members of the board—Lynch, McClellan, Loughery and ‘Wynn—together with Connor, the Demo- cratic member, voted against McComb’s confirmation. Boxton, who was absent, will vote with the twelve Supervisors who favored McComb, thus giyjng the latter thirteen votes, or one less than the neces- sary fourteen. Unless Connor comes to his rescue McComb will not have enough votes to pass the resolution over the Mayor's head. He needs Connor, be- cause the Labor party members will not vote for him. On the other hand, the Justices of the Peace contend that the Mayor has no power either to sign or veto the resolu- tion. The Political Code provides sim- gly that the Supervisors shall confirm the ustices’ clerk nomination. The Justices hold that the confirmation could have been made by motion instead of by reso- lution, which would have prevented the Mayor rendering the resolution nugatory by refusing to affix his signature thereto. MIX-UP WITH A CABLE CAUSES A BIG BLOCKADE Hayes-Street Car Jumps the Track and Residents Age Late for Dinner. Residents of this city who live in the outlying districts were late for dinner last evening by reason of a blockade on the Market-street car line. A Hayes-street car attempted to turn into Hayes street with the Market-street cable in its grip and as a result the car was thrown off the track. The grip was smashed, but no one was injured. The passengers inside the car were treated to a severe shaking up, but were able to leave the car without injury. 1t was necessary to send for a wrecklng crew to place the car on the track an send it on its journey. Fully forty min- utes were occupied in straightening out things, and as a result there was a string of cable cars on Market street that ex- tended more than two blocks. Many of the passengers avalled' themselves of transfers to nearby car lines. MAJOR DEVOL ASSUMES COMMAND OF TRANSPORTS General Long’s Successor Arrives From the East With His Family. Major C. A. Devol, U. S. A, arrived at the Occidental yesterday, accompanied by his wife and two daughters. He was re- cently appointed successor 'to General Long and will take charge of the trans- port service in this city. .Major Devol is about 43 years of age and has a splendid record. When the Spanish. war first broke out he was sta- tioned in this city. He was sent to Ma- nila and held the responsible position of depot quartermaster. After two years’ gervice in the Philippines he was ordered to New York, where he had full charge of the transport service at that port. Major Devol is very reticent about his future policy, and d:clines to state wheth- er he intends making any changes in the service in the immediate future. —_—————————— Succumbs to Asphyxiation.

GIRL WIFE STAYS IN JAIL TO BE NEAR HER HUSBAND William Young, Desperate From Pov- erty, Steals a Bicycle in the Park. Driven to desperation by hunger and thoughts of his young wife, who was {ll and needed medical attention, Willlam Young, 22 vears of age, stole a bicycle in Golden Gate Park Wednesday after- noon and was arrested a short time after- ward by Detectives Bell and Armstrong. Both he and his wife are now in the Cen- tral police station, the latter because she is destitute and has no other shelter and because of her desire to remain near her husband during his hour of trouble. Mrs. Young is but 18 years of age. Last September Young married against the wishes of his parents, who are resi- dents of this city. He was employed by the C. & S. Mining Company in the San Joaquin Valley at the time. Soon after the marriage he contracted malaria, and on December 1 was obliged to return to San Francisco, sick'and penniless. He at once set out to find employment by which to support his wife and himself, but was only able to pick up odd jobs, such as chopping wood and assisting peddlers. On a_meager income the couple lived | until Young’s weakness overcame him |'and he was unable to do any hard work. When reverses came Young was too_proud to make his wants known to his family or to appeal to them for aid on account of their objection to his marriage, so he :t“xggled along until his wife began to ail. The thought of his wife drove Young to desperation. While both of them, hungry and {ll, were walking in the park Wednes- day afternoon the husband saw the op- portlunlly to secure bread and stole the bi- cycle. “I didn't care about myself,” sald Young last evening. “I only wanted to setdmdy"wlie the food and comforts she needed. ———— Company F to Give Ball.
