MAN FAMOUS PASSES Surveyor of Port | LAMEDA, July 17.—Dr. John Tay- lor McLean, a ploneer of Cali- fornia, and whose life and acts were closely interwoven with the history of this State for half a century, passed away this morning at the Alameda Sanitarium. His health had been failing for some months and his de- mise was not unexpected. His daughter, Miss Mary H. McLean, was with her | , | father when he breathed his last. John T. McLean was born in New York in 1822, He was graduated from Wes- leyan University of Middletown, Conn. started his career in medicine in New York and later practiced in New Orleans. In 1850 Dr. McLean came to_California, | settled at Santa Cruz for a few months and then located in Marysville, where he resided for ten years, following his p: fessfon. During this time he took an & tive interest in political affairs, as he did through all his life. He was a stanch Republican and noted for his vigorous Speeches on convention floors and ‘on the | campaign stump. A In 185 he organized and was the chair- | man of the first Republican State con- vention held in California. For his faith- ful work in the interests of Republican- ism and the Union President Abraham Lircoln in 1861 appointed Dr. McLean Surveyor of the Port of San Francisco, 2 position he occupied until 1865, when his particular friend, the nation’s chiet | executive, was assassinated. Later Dr. McLean was made a special agent of the Treasury Department and acted as such until 1869, CAPTURES PRIVATEER. While Dr. McLean was Surveyor of the Port during the trying period of the Civil ‘War he obtained information that a ves- sel known s the Chapman was being | fitted out by allies of the Confederatcs to leave San Francisco and engage in privateering. Dr. McLean made the mat- ter known to Ira P. Rankin, who was ben Collector of the Port of ‘San Fran- cisco, and to Willlam Farwell, an officer in the United States navy. Dr. McLean was _commissioned to capture or destroy ‘ the Chapman. He chartered a small tug- boat and with a party of men as fear- less as himself soon had possession of the intended privateer. This daring ex- | ploit brought the loyal doctor much offi- | cial praise. In 1869 Dr. McLean went into the Yo- semite Valley over what was then called the old Coulterville trail. Efforts had been previously made to build a wagon rcad into the valley, but the undertak- ing was abandoned. Dr. McLe#n was fa- verably impressed with the project, which others had givén up, and with the assur- ance that Government assistance would i be given him he began the construction IN STATE TO LAST REST e Jdohn L.

The highway was completed with the capital that Dr. McLean put into the project and the road was the_ original one leading into the Yosemite Valley. Later the builder appealed to Congress to purchase the road and make it a pub- lic highway. Bills were introduced at various sessions of Congress to recom- pense Dr. McLean for his outlay on the Yosemite Valley road, but they failed of paseage. There is at this time a measure pending before Congress to pay $20,000 to Dr. McLean. It was in 1874 that Dr. McLean first made his home in Alameda. In 1880 he was a member of the Town Board of Health. For many years he was health officer, retiring from that position three years ago. He was one of the promoters of the tidal canal project and constantly interested himself in everything that con- cerned the welfare of the city. Dr. McLean's last appearance in the po- litical field was two years ago, when he | was chalrman of a Victor H. Metcalf mass meeting held in the West End Wig- wam. Deceased leaves a daughter, Miss Mary H. McLean, and a son, Stirling McLean, His wife died in 1896, and another daug] ter, Miss Elizabeth McLean, passed away four years ago. The funeral will be held from 2222 Cen- of the road, following practically the tral avenue to-morrow at noon. E e S e e e i S S ) CAPITAL GAING ~ HARBOR LANDS ! | PORTLAND, Or., July 17.—Evidence is | rapidly accumulating that a strong com- | bination, backed by Eastern capital, is securing an extensive foothold in the | Coos Bay country for harbor facilities | and railway rights of way for the further | construction of a road on one of the ! routes of former surveys. | The organization of the Empire Con- ! struction Company and the Great Cen- tral Railroad Company was followed to- day by the filing of articles of incorpora- | tion of the Belt Line Railway Company, | which is to promote the buiiding of en- terprises on Coos Bay. The incorporators | of the Belt Line are W. L. Green, John W. Cook and John K. Collock, the latter being secretary of the Great Central Com- pany. The object of the company is to construct a_belt line road around the | shore line of Coos Bay, a probable dis- | tance of from thirty to forty miles. The | capital stock is $1,000,000. John K. Col- lock said: “The principal object i8 to organize a company to construct a line around the bay in order to get the benefit of as many deep water docts as we can nava. I can- | not say® positively just what connec- tion the Great Cential Company has with this corporation, but of course the same general interests are aimel at by the peeple who are incorporators of both companies.” Yosemite Via the Santa Fe.

At 10:30 o’clock last night when the sa- loon at 611 Tennessee street, owned by Patrick O'Leary, was well filled with cus- tomers, the people in the place were sur- | prised by the sudden entrance of three | masked men, all heavily armed, who bade the saloonkeeper and nine other men in | the place to back up to the wall and hold | up their hands.

The Supervisors’ Street Committee yes- terday set Thursday, July 31, as the day when protests will be heard against the proposed change of grades on Market street from Valencia to Sanchez as rec- ommended by the Board of Works. A special invitation to be present was ex- tended to the ropresentatives of the Market-street and Eureka Valley Im- rrovement Club. The improvement will cost $1,100,000. On the same day the pro- posed changes of grades at the north énd of Polk street will be considered. The communication from J. H. Sievers giving notice that he reserves the right to claim $30,000 damages if the grades are changed on Polk and_ Chestnut streets was referred to the Joint Com- | mittee on Judiclary and Streets. The committee requested the Board of Works to cause the removal of bobtail | cars from the corner of California and | Montgomery streets while they are not being used in the service of the public. The representatives of the street rail- road companies were requested to ap- pear before the board on July 28 for a conference with a view toward obtaining better accommodations for the public during the hours when men are engaged in going to and from their places of em- ployment. 2 The representatives of the railroad companies were asked to appear at the next meeting of the committee regarding the proposed ordinance providing for the placing of signs to indicate the stopping places of cars and providing that cars sball be operated by competent men. The labor union officials were also ask- ed to be present. The bill requiring the use of grooved girder rails when new railroad tracks are to be laid or old ones replaced was recommended for passage. Similar action | was taken on the bills regulating the use of signs on the outef edge of sidewalks and revoking existing permits. e HEALTH BOARD EXONERATES MARKET INSPECTOR RIVER San Mateo Butcher Makes Verbal Charges, but Refuses to Reduce Them to Writing. The Health Board yesterday exonerated Market Inspector River from a verbal accusation of Samuel Aftergut, a San Mateo butcher, to the effect that River had countenanced infractions of the law by certain butchers. River appeared be- tore the board and asked for an investi- gation, as he desired to be cleared of any suspicion. Health Officer O'Brien said that Aftergut had been asked to file hig charges in writing, but had refused to do so. The board decided to accept the re- port of Chief Sanitary Inspector Hassler, who stated that River had not been dere- lict in his duty. Secretary Emery de- rounced Aftergut as a “liar and per- jurer” and a man who had ‘‘violated the pure food laws on numerous occasions and who was now out on bail for assault to murder.” Attendants J. McMahon and J. Smith at the Almshouse and Watchman George T. Silvey of the City and County Hospi- tal_were suspended for neglect of duty and Chief Cook P. Zutterling and his as- sistant, J.

Demonstrate Frinciple That Cities Must Help the Orchardists. The cry of the fruit growers for help, which at this scason of the year is ex- ceedingly hard to obtain, has been heard and acted upon by the youthful members of the Columbia Park Boys' Club, an or- ganization of lads, the like of which does not exist outside of San Francisco. On June 23 a squad of the boys numbering | thirty-nine went to Vacaville and, while they enjoyed a vacation outing, they not only earned money rfor the organization to which they belong, but demonstrated the principle that the cities must ultimately iurnisn the assistance the orchardis(s need at harvest tine. The Columbia Park Boys' Club is a semi-military organization of _which James Rogers is president and Sydney S. Peixotto manager. The lads make their own laws, and that these laws be obeyed is one of the firmest principles to which they owe allegiance. All of the lads are pupils of the public schools and at vaca- tion time a trip to the country is gen- erally planned. The ages of the boys ten and sixteen years. Owing to the.quasi-military training to which they are subject under the rules of the club, they are for the greater part strong, lusty, well disciplined youths, fully capable of doing an average day's work. Some time ago Manager Peixotto ar- ranged for a trip to Vacaville_ it being undersicod that all the boys taking part should work in the orchards, the proceeds of their toil going into the club treasury. Thirty-nine lads, after securing the con- sent of their parents, went to Vacaville, and on their arrival camped upon the orchard of Lee Gates, a prominent fruit grower of that section. The camp was governed by rules almost military in their strictness, no boy being allowed to leave its precincts without permission. The boys were well equipped with musical instruments and their _concerts were tne talk of the people of Vacaville and vieinity during their stay of nearly four weeks at that place. After the work of the day, which consisted of picking, cutting and pitting apricots and picking cherries, was completed, the lads would dine and then until 10 o'clock revelry held sway. The outing was of a character that the boys will remember for many et come L e e result of the boys' work was the depositing of $38 in the club’s treasury. This money will be used in providing im- provements which have long been desired. Manager Peixotto stated on the arrival qf the boys yesterday that they worked like little men and that they took genuine | The owner of | pride in doing their best. the orchard was so well pleased with their efforts that he contracted for their return next summer and agreed to erect | permanent accommodations for _their housing in the meanwhile. The lads, all of whom wore overalls and khaki caps, attracted y home. All of them expressed themselves as delighted with their trip and the pros- pects of repeating it next summer filled them with joy. The farmers are complaining of the lack of help at the harvest season, but the step taken by this aggregation of lads Seems to point to permanent relief. If or- ganizations of lads can be induced to take vacation trips to the fruit orchards in the summer and work during the day, the danger of fruit rotting on the trees for the want of labor to pluck it will be minimized. The experiment made by the Columbia Club boys is regarded by fruit men as an important one and its success glves promise of greater things in this line in the future. —————r—— DOCTOR JAKES ABANDONS HIS SUIT FOR DIVORCE The attorneys for Dr. R. W. Jakes filed a dismissal of his suit for divorce against his wife late yesterday afternoon and se- cured a dismissal of the order issued upon an affidavit filed by Mrs. Jakes' at- torney, C. H. Allen, restraining the bond and warrant clerk from delivering the bail money deposited by Dr. Jakes upon his arrest upon a misdemeanor charge. The attorneys for Jakes gave no reason for the dismissal of the action, other than that they concluded 'their’ client had enough to do to ‘defend himself against the charge preferred by his brother-in- law. J. Jury and C. H. Allen, attor- neys for Mrs. Jakes, were greatly sur- prised by the move. In Judge Mogan's court yesterday Jakes was dismissed on the first complaint, which was defective, and immediately re- arrested by Policeman Steve Bonner on a new complaint alleging the former charge. Owing to the fact that Jakes’ wife is ready to pounce upon any money that may come in sight, it became necessary for the defendant to furnish a real estate bond, which his attorney finally prepared. The sureties named were Thomas Me- Laughlin and Victor Monnier. Attorney Walter Gallagher moved yes- terday for a dismissal of the charge of bigamy against Mrs. Francesca de la Guerra, the woman with eight husbands, on the ground that under the provisions of sections 281 and 282 of the Penal Code it was incumbent on the part of the prose- cution to show affirmatively that the pre- vious marriage had not been annulled Judge Mogan took the case under advise- ment and will render a decislon some this week. general attention on the journey | EDITOR DANIELS AWAITS DECISION Case Against Enquirer Man Rests With Court. Police Judge Smith Takes Time to Study Points Involved. Oakland Office San Francisce Call, 1118 Broadway, July 1. Whether President G. B. Daniels of the Enquirer Publishing Company, charged with implication in the alleged fraudulent conepiracy by which the county of Ak meda was mulcted out of 31500 for un- delivered books, is to be held to answer befcre the Superior Court is a question that now rests with Police Judge Smith for a decision. The case against Daniels come to an abrupt ending this afternoon, neither side desiring to argue the points at issue, with the result that Judge Smith declared his determination to take the matter under advisement until Monday rext, when he will announce his conclu- sicns. In the case just closed Attorneys Snook and Hill, for the defense, have made no efiort to defend the charge that money w&s drained from the county without an equivalent having been tendered. They kave confined their defense entirely to taa proposition that Daniels was innocent of what was going on around him, or, if not altogether innocent, at least had no in- tent to defraud, and to give weight to this defense his attorneys have made a studied and persistent attempt to shift the orus for the whole shady transaction upon the shoulders of Russeil R. Stedman, their former employe and confidential man, who they charge was in league with former Business Manager Hadley in a plan to “do up” the Daniels faction of the Enquirer. READ CROSS-EXAMINED. A. J. Read, foreman of the Enquirer’s mechanical department, submitted to cross-examination all day at the hands of Attecrney Chapman. The whole examina- tion was directed to an exploitation of the history of the order tags for the thirty mortgage books and the seventy-five working rolls _ that were ordered by Assessor Dalton and paid for by the county, but never deliv- efed; also his version of the history of the 'so-called substitute orders. Pretty much the same ground that was covered yesterday was gone over again to-day. Throughout the examination the name | of Daniels was hardly mentioned. The witness kept his employer's name in the background and there was no place in the testimony where Daniels figured in con- nection with the transaction that resulted in the defrauding of the county. As far &s Read was concerned the whole trans- action seemed to be between him and Stedman. Read read a good deal of the testimony that he offered at the Grand Jury in- vestigation and was given opportunity to correct many of its less essential fea- tures. The principal correction was in connection with the finding of the tag for the seventy-five books that he had missed after it was given him in August last. He told the Grand Jury he found it about a month ago, but to-day he said he hid not seen it until it appeared in the Grand Jury room. + WITHOUT ARGUMENT. The witness' grounds for these changes were that his memory has been refreshed. Attorney Chapman asked him if he had not had a conference with Dan- iels about the case. “You have a keener appreciation of the meaning of the case now,” he was asked “than when you testified before.the Grand Jury in Danlels’ defense?” “Yes; 1 didn’t know they needed any defense then. Now I do.” Mr. Chapman created a diversion by referring once or twice to the “‘Coroner's Jury” instead of the Grand Jury. “1 never testified before a ‘Coroner’'s Jury,’ " said Read. “You didn't? Well, it will prove a Ccroner’s Jury for some one before we get through with you,” was thé reply. Read was the last witness and after consultation among the attorneys it was decided to submit the case without argu- ment. Judge Smith then set the case for Mouday in order not to interfere with the trial_of Dalton, which was continued in the Superfor Court until Tuesday next.

As you know, most neckties sell at two different prices—25¢ and 50c. There are cheaper ties and dearer ones than these, but these are the most popular priced. Most men can tell a four-bit tie from a two-bit one ~-at least you can. When we tell you we are selling a s0c tie for 35¢ you can see for yourself that our state- ment is correct when you see the merchandise. These Imperials are the very latest weaves of good quality silk and are regular 50-cent goods. For a few days they will be sold for 35c Jut-of-town orders filled—write us.
