It wonld be well, also, to ask Pilot Von Helms how much his position cost him and through whom he secured his ap- pointment. SEEKS REAPPOINTMENT. Piatt, notwithstanding the fact that the threatened exposure of the $3000 deal pre- vented his appointment to the office of Harbor Commissioner, is_making a fight for reappointment as Pilot Commissioner, hoping for this favor at the hands of Governor Pardee. . To make the scandal more general, it is alleged by those who have laid the matter before Governor Pardee that still another pilot gecured the position he now holds at a cost to himself of $3000. This sum, it is claimed, was paid by a check drawn on the Sather Banking Company, which has since been absorbed by an- other loca! institution of finance. In this case, it is claimed, the negotiations were conducted by a brother of the $3000 pilot, may any who was himself a pilot formerly, and carried to a successful termination through certain employes of the Arctic Oil Works, with which Pilot Commission- er Pratt is connected. This pilot will also be called upon later to tell through whom and how he obtained his position. Not lonig ago, while Governor Gage's regime was yet upon the people, one Dan Kevane was directed to make an investi- gation of charges of bribery and corrup- tion involving the Pilot Commission. Ke- vane, who claimed that he was proceed- ing by authority of the Governor, sought out Pilot Commissioner Pratt and through him wa#¢ introduced to the chief pilot of this port. PRATT PRESENTS KEVANE. In keeping with his office, Commissioner Pratt plioted Kevane into the presence of the chief pilot, but before the interview between Kevane and the chief pilot began Commissioner Pratt withdrew to an ad- joining apartment. Before the interview was well under way, however, . Commissioner Pratt re- turned to the inguisition room and the Kevane investigation came to an abrupt termination. Pratt and Kevane left the rvom together and the chief pilot went had announced tha following Monda chief pilot. But, song, Kevane r Ins stead, it is claime he would return the 1 again question the ike the dark cat of me back, but in came a feeling of security and an intimation that proceed- had be When took the chair of chief executive of the State charges of bribery and corr nev 1 abandoned. iovernor I jee ption in the matter of the appointment f pillots were again made. Governor irdee will call before him the pilots who it is alleged won eir offices throv the argument of gold and an investigation by the Senate will doubtless follow. A general rush for the tall timbers of exclusion is predicted as a result, but it is generally believed that several will be caught and badly dam- aged politically in the vortex of the in- vestigation before its conclusion. WOULD PROTECT SHIPS. But it is not alone to expose this cor- ruption that the investigation has been inaugurated by Governor Pardee. The safety of ships that cross the shoals of the bar and thread the hidden reefs of the Golden Gate is also kept in mind. The chief executive is aware of the fact that if a competent pilot can buy his way on to the deck of a pilot-boat it is not probable that one who is incompetent would be denied the same privilege, That there an incentive to the in- competent as well as the competent sea- man to aspire’ to the position of pilot there can be no question. The law pro- vides liberal fees they may collect for their services and makes the game of collecting the same largely one of chance —a game of first come first served. Pi- lots, it is provided in the Political Code, shall receive for their services for pilot- ing every vessel into or out of the har- bor of San Francisco the sum of $8 per foot draught, and when a person com-’ manding any vessel refuses to take a pilot the pilot first offering his services is en- titled to half pilotage, WELL PROVIDED FOR. The pilots of theeport are thus well provided for. To secure their services is compulsory—a demand of law—and in view of the increased commerce of this port an appointment to the position of pilot is at this time especially desirable. The Political Code provides for the ap- pointment of not less than fifteen nor more than twenty pilots for the port of San Francisco, and not more than two pllots for the ports of Mare Island, Val- lejo and Benicla. How many of these pilots will be caught in the meshes of the investigation to be inaugurated by Gov- ernor Pardee is a matter of speculation, but, it is claimed, rehearsal among sev- eral pilot-boat crews for the ordeal that is to come has largely displaced the sing- ing of the old-time ballads of the deep while crulsing out beyond the bar.
