Among her passengers were Ma- Jor General Lloyd Wheaton and Brigadier General Snyder. On board were also 1398 wen, forming the Sixth and Nineteenth Infantry regiments. The ship also brought back 57 discharged soldiers, 197 sick men, 3 dead and 11 insane. General Wheaton returns in fairly good health. His long stay in the islands and the responsibilities he has had, have aged him greatly. He is very glad to be home again and looks forward with pleasure to the time when he can leave the vessel for land. Major General Wheaton has made an enviable record in the Philippines. He left for Manila in January, 1899, and has been in active service ever since. Dur- ing the last year he has been in charge of a district and has by great executive ability enjoined the natives %rom revolt- ing. He is home for a much-needed rest. General heaton served in the civil war, rising from first sergeant to colonel of the Eighth Illinois Volunteer Infantry. He also served as captain of the Thirty- fourth United States Infantry. He was assigned to the Twentieth Infantry and served with that regiment until Septem- ber 1, 1869. He was promoted to major October 14, 1891, and leutenant colonel May 31, 1895. He was made brigadier gen- eral of volunteers at the commencement of the Spanish war. During his military career he has received several brevets and medals from Congress fer meritorious services. He was wounded in the battle of Shiloh. He was commander of the first brigade, first division, Seventh Army Corps, during the Spanish-American war. He left for Manila with the Twentieth I fantry in January, 189, and since that time his promotion has been rapid. He is deemed one of the best cavalry leaders in the army. UNDERTAKERS STRIVE TO BURY THOMAS LAVEN Public Administrator Farnham Gives the Funeral to McGinn, Pass- ing Over Two Socleties. A man who dies with $5000 in tank and no relatives need not go begging for un- dertakers or a stylish funeral. Thres firms of undertakers strove yesterday for the pleasure and profit of burying the re- mains of Thomas Laven, a hodcarrier, who died in the Central Emergency Hos- pital of Injuries received on last Wednes- day by fallilng from a building in the course of erection at the intersection of Eddy and Taylor streets. As soon as the news of his death was received the Public Administrator noti- fled Deputy Coroner McCormick that he had authorized the firm of McGinn & Hansen to take charge of the funeral. Shortly afterward a representative of the firm of Pacific Undertakers arrived at the Morgue with an order for the body from the Hodcarriers’ Union, and immediately following him came a man from Theo- dor Diercks with an order “from the Knights of Pythias for the remalns. The representative of the Knights of Pythias declared that the order would not allow any funeral benefits unless it was allowed to take charge of the funeral, and the Hodcarriers’ representa- tive made a similar declaration, so that the estate of the dead man will be taxed for a funeral that would cost nothing if handled by either of the two socleties. Mr. Farnham stated that he had given the order to McGinn before the other ap- plications were made. —_— JUSTICE DANIELS HOLDS INQUESTS AT MORGUE Stepfather Guadelupe Exonerated on Charge of Killing Young Em- mett de Souza. Justice of the Peace Danlels held sev- eral Inquests yesterday. In the case of J. T.

In the case of Hugh Dorsy of 1111 Po- trero avenue, who was killed on June 17 at the crossing of Sixth and Townsend streets, the verdict was that he was run over by an engine, but the jury could not determine from the evidence whether his death was accidental or whether he purposely threw himself on the track. In the case of Emmett de Souza, shot by Jose Guadelupe, his stepfather, at 1329 Fourteenth avenue on June 16, the ver- dict was that the pistol was accidentally discharged.

His action was the outcome of the action of certain members < of the committee in object- ing to Major George Filmer as grand mar- shal of ,the Independence day parade. As told In yesterday's Call, Major Fil- mer's appointment was objected to be- cause he employed non-union men in his electrotyping business. The officer had been selected to lead the procession, but at the last hour Will J. White, a mem- ber of the Typographical Union, appeared at the meeting of the Fourth of July committee and announced that it Major Fllmer was retained in the office of grand marshal an appeal would be made to the Musicians’ and Hackmen’s Unions not to perticipate in the parade. Rather than have the feature of the celebration marred by the absence of mu- sic and carriages for Invited guests Chairman Cornwall withdrew ais friend’s name. After - mature deliberation Mr. Cornwall sent the following letter of res- ignation to the chief executive of the city: TENDERS RESIGNATION. SAN FRANCISCO, June 21, 1902. Hon. E. E. Schmitz, Mayor of the city of San Francisco, New City Hall—Sir: I herewith Tespectfully tender to you my resignation as a member of the Fourth of July Committee. After accepting, at the hands of your Honor, an appointment on this committee, and further accepting the chairmanship of the committee, it appears to me only proper in submitting my resignation, an action to be taken only under the gravest circumstances, to submit it with the reasons which impel me to take this step. At the meeting of the committee held in the Mayor's office on the night of Jure 11, Major George Filmer was selected by the parade com- mittee as grand marshal of the Fourth of July parade. The selection was unanimously ratified and confirmed by the general committee. Major Filmer was chosen because of his well known military skill, because he is a major in the National Guard of our State, a former officer in the United States Volunteers, a veteran of the Philippine war, a man of infegrity and ex- perfence, and a representative citizen, and be- cause 1t was considered that he was well quali- fled for the position of grand marshal. Major Filmer was notified of his election and tendered the committee & polite acceptance. He entered upon the discharge of his duties and chose his aids. WHITE MAKES OBJECTION. At the meeting of the Fourth of July Com- mittee held at its headquarters in the Califor- nia Hotel June 20, a Mr. White of the graphical Labor Union appeared before the committee and made obfection to Major Filmer on the ground that he was a member of the firm of Filmer Brothers, electrotypers, and that this firm employed men who were not members of the Typographical Labor Union. Mr,. White stated that he should appeal to the Musicians’ Union and Cabmen’s Union asking them to refuse to participate in the Fourth of July parade, were Major Filmer retained as grand marshal. A representative and officer of the Cabmen's Unlon and a member of ths Fourth of July Committee then stated to the committee that were Major Filmer retained no carrlages. nor, cabs would tak procession’ on Irdependence da; could assure us mo musiclans would march in that procession. Under this statement of facts, Major Filmer being for a few days absent from the city, con- sldering my duty to the committee as fts chair- man, . and to.the celebration, to the Mayor of the city and to Major Filmer, I took it upon myselt as a personai friend of Major Filmer to rARE®_ CHAIRMAN OF THE GENERAL FOURTH OF JULY COMMIT- TEE WHO HAS RESIGNED. i - tender his resignation to the committee. It was accepted. / When T acceDted the position of chalrman of the Fourth of July Committee I did so believ- ing that that committee was a non-partisan one, organized for he sole purpose of cele- brating our national day of independence and fittingly commemorating in the hearts of the people the spirit of American liberty, and lt- tle thinking that, in order to participate in the celebration of American independence it was necessary to belong to_any other union than that of the American States. We were allowed money by the honorable Board of Supervisors, acting under the char- ter, which authorized them to make such al- lowance “for the celebration of our national in- dependence.”” | This money was raised by gen- eral taxation and contributed by the whole peo- ple, and in its expenditure no distinction can be justly observed between union and non- union men. That an officer of the United States army, & veteran who has fought under the stars and stripes in a foreign land with honor to him- self and credit to the flag, should by reason of existing conditions be compelled to withdraw from a municipal processién in honor of our natfonal indepencence, has removed from my heart any“desire to take part in the hollow mockery of an independence celebration. COMPELLED TO RESIGN. Disregarding altogether the rights and wrongs of labor and capital, and. the entire labor unfon question, I am compelled, In order to retain my own selt respect, to refuse to further participate in this celebration. . If the condltions existing in our city are such that 2 man of the character and record of Major Filmer may not be grand marshal of the Fourth of July parade, then it is not for:me, Who have not that honorable and patriotic military record, to presume to partlcipate in that parade. Having been compelled to with- draw Major Filmer's name I certainly cannot let mine stand, and therefore With greatest re- spect to your Honor and to those members of the committee who regard the matter In the same light as myself, I respectfully request that this resignation be fmmediately accepted. Very respecttully, BRUCE-CORNWALL. Mayor Schmitz was absent from his of- fice when the letter arrived. George R. ‘Wells is vice chairman of the committee, and he will preside at the meeting on Tuesday next. .WW%FH—H%PH—P%HW.

SAY CAPTAIN BARNESON’S CONDUCT IS OPPRESSIVE Two _Sailors T_Tnnsport ‘Warren Sue Their Commander for Dam- ages for False Imprisonment. Captain J. B. Barneson, brother of Cap- tain Barneson, formerly of the transport service and commander of the transport ‘Warren, insisted upon being saluted by John Warner and George Douglas every time they passed him, and -because they did not do so he ordered them into close confinement for five days, on two of which they wore irons. As a result of this. lesson discipline Captain Barne- son is now defendant in a suit for dam- ages filed yesterday by the mariners, who ask $2000 each for the injury to th feel- ings. Police Commissioner H. W. Hutton is _their attorney. The suits for damages are brought on a plea of false imprisonment. The sailors allege that they were confined without cause, and accuse Barneson of acting the part of an oppressor on his ship.
