Kerbey of the scow | schooner Mountain View, lying at the hay wharf, foot of Thirl street. He says three men attacked him early yesterday | morning and one of them wounded h..a| in the left foot by firing at him with a shotgun. Kerbey reported to Policeman Tobin about 5 o'clock that two hours earlier three men came on board the vessel while he was asleep in his cabin and knocked on the cabin door, demanding his money. He came out of the cabin with a revolver in nd and fired a shot at the three men, who had stepped back on the whart, A shot was fired at him, but did not take effect. The three men returned in half an hour Kerbey's money. William Myles, a boy 18 years of age, was on board and was to sall with the Kerbey alleges that he heard say to one of the men “Don’t shoot, and a voice replied “I'll shoot his head off.” A shot was fired from a shot- gun at Kerbey, who was in his cabin and some of the pellets lodged in Kerbey's left foot. The men then called Myles and he joined them on the wharf and went away with them. Kerbey was taken to the Central Emer- gency Hospital, where his wounded foot was attended to. Detectives Reynolds and Armstrong were detalled on the case Later they arrested the boy Myles and took him to the City Prison. Detective O’'Connell, who has known the boy for the last four years, saw him and the boy declared positively that he did not know the three men. He bhad said “Don’t shoot, Fred,” because he thought the man with the shotgun was the driver of the horse em- ployed on the wharf, but he found he was mistaken. He had gone onto the wharf, as it was his intention to get a police- man, and the men stopped him at the point of a revolver. He was able to give a good description of the man with the shotgun. ————————— Bonding Proposition Defeated.

Popular Business Man to Be Next Commissary at State Prison. 2B VT Irving T. Ballard will soon succeed Francis Foley as commissary at San Quentin prison. The appointment will be made to-day or early in the week. Bal- lard, long identified with the oil interests of the State, and a man of business well qualified for the position, will relieve an offictal who distinguished himself as be- ing particularly disqualified for the re- sponsibilities placed on his shoulders and undeserying of the confidence the peopie reposed in him. For some time the change has been un- der consideration. Foley's official career is well known and remarkable for is savor of inefficiency. The selection of the right man to fill the place has been tiie only matter which puzzled those who had the power of appointmernt. At last Bal lard was decided upon. The prospective appointee is a friend of ex-Senator Feiton and enjoys the benefit of the latter's wida | influence. It is understood that the an- | pointment will be made at Felton's re quest. Ballard will be officially informed that he will occupy Foley's position shortly. It is believed that he will be named to-day. However, the time is not far off and should one day pass the appointment will be made before the middle of the week Ballard is a man of affairs. His busi- ness ability attracted attention to him many years ago. He is versed in the sci- ence of management and great thingg are expected of him. His life on the coast has extended over a long period. Twenty years ago he became manager of the re- ffineries connected with the Pacific Coast Oil Company. He retained this p for eighteen years and retired only when his firm merged with the Standard Oil Company. Since then he has had no par- ticular business and has traveled consid- | | erably. Five days ago he returned from | Portland and will remain in this city un- til he, goes to San Quentin to assume his new dutles. . e REBEL CORK BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION RECREATES Friends and Members Contest in Games at Shell Mound and Ex- hibit Their Prowess.

Professor Dunn had charge of the ex- hibit at the World's Fair at Chicago, and is still considered one of the foremost naturalists and entomoiogists of the ‘West, although he is now 9% years of age. He lives in a picturesque little cottage at North Beach, a stone’s throw from Fish- ermen’s Wharf—a little cottage that was once an ark and is now set up on stilts on the beach. What was once a resort of the gay young bachelors who make their summer homes on these arks has been converted by the old man into a cozy home for winter, as well as summer, and here he has brought all the rare speci- mens which he has spent the last sixty [ years in collecting. being old. Rifle Club to Give Ball. REV. WILLIAM RADER SPEAKS ON LAWLESSNESS Sounds Note of Warning for Present-Day Americans to Heed. Rev. William Rader, pastor of the Third Congregational Church, delivered an ad- dress last night on “The Reign of the Laws,” in which he made some pertinent remarks upon modern instances of law- lessness and recommended remedies for the evils existing. He said in part: Lawlessness is apparently on the increase in the civilized world. In our own country espe- clally do we motice it. Daily, almost, we read of negroes being burned at the stake and tor- tured by all sorts of inhumanities. ~Again we see justice violated in the ranks of the politi- clans, who fatten on their offices of patronage. If they should ever bring Plymouth Rock to the West it might with profit be ensconced be- neath the dome of our City Hall. The causes for the increase of lawlessness Ite in the improper rearing of children where no discipline is taught, in lax business meth- ods practiced by these same children when they become men, in the tardiness of our jus- tice, We cannot make men good by law. For every man hanged there are a hundred more who deserve it. We can only make them £00d by instilling into them from their earliest Youth such a love of country that they will be ashamed to violate her laws. ———————————— .

Another election will probably be called in the near future, as additional facilities are badly needed. . German Eye Water, a harmless edy, 50c; by mall, 62c.
