Details of the accident did not reach London till a late hour. When they came they were found to be dramatic indeed. The submarine was Iying beneath the surface of the sea, waiting for a battle- ship, when she was struck by a Donald | Currie liner. The liner passed on and reported that she had struck a torpedo. Investigation, however, proved that the supposed torpedo was the submarine boat No. Al The wrecked vessel lies within a half mile of the Nab lightship off Hem- bridge, Isle of Wight, in seven fath- | oms of water. She took with her to the bottom Lieutenant Loftus Charles Ogilvy Mansergh, who was in com- tenants engaged in submarine wor Sub-Lieutenant John Prestcn Churchill and nine petty officers and seamen.

B. Spreck , president of the| commission. W. H. Jordan, Wallace C. | Wise and T. P. Ross, from the execu- tive committee of the Knights Templar Triennial Conclave, asked permission ! to construct a platform and erect al! booth thereon in Union square, adja- | cent to the sidewalk on Post street. It { was said by Jordan that the Knights| | Tempiar of California contemplated a | liberal distribution of souvenirs to | Eagtern visitors. The gifts will consist | of wine, flowers and fruit. Perhaps 40.- | 000 pint bottles of California wine, each | | bottle of itself a thing of beauty and a | oy forever, will be donated to the ap- | preciative visitors to the Golden Gate. | At the proposed pagod in Union | square the souvenirs will be distributed | { to those only who may be entitled to |recetve the gifis. A guard of honmor | from the Knights Templar commanda- | ries will be on duty day and night at the plaza, and these knights will pro- tect the palms and preserve the lawns from infidel invasion. | Commissioners Spreckels, Dingee, lAltmln and Sullivan were not con-| vinced that the board had the right un- der the city charter to grant the Tem- | plar petition. They promised to take | the subject under advisement and re- port their findings later on. An impressive delegation consisting of Judge W. W. Morrow of the United States court, Judge John Hunt of the Superior Court of California and Henry | Kowalsky, a friend of both courts, waited on the Park Commissioners in | reference to the proposed Hall McAllis- ter statue. In brief and Iucid fashion Judge Hunt explained that $3600 had been raised to erect the mopument, and suggested that a site on McAllister street mear City Hall avenue be desi, nated by the board. The designer of the statue, the well known. sculptor, Robert Aitken, accompanied the dele- gation and produced the desizn in min- iature drawing. In the reproduction of the proposed carved inscription only two errors in spelling were noted by the Commissioners, but the inscription is brief and the words are not pon- derous. Originality is also one of the features of the design. Commissioner Altman, the artist member of the com- mission, paid a tribute to the beauty of the design and the eminence of the sculptor. On motion of Commissioner Sullivan a site on McAllister street at | City Hall avenue was granted. To-day Mr. Altman and Mr. Altken | will view the premises and decide upon the exact spot” for the statue. The figure, 7 feet 9 inches high, will rest on a base eight feet high. The action of the Commissioners in | removing the Starr King statue from an obscure place to a conspicuous posi- tion in Golden Gate Park has been gen- erally commended. Among the com- munications read sterday was one from George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R, thanking the commission for bringing the monument to view. C. P. Wilcomb, curator of the Golden Gate Park Museum, has made a dona- ticn to the institution of his own col- lection, embracing 813 objects of nat- ural history. A loan collection representing good work of local painters and sculptors has been placed.in the Memorial Mu- seum.

He asked Bard if it would affect their positions of friendship if he, Oxnard, should be a candidate, and Bard replied that it would not or could not—his attitude being known, he rec- ognized the right of any man to be- come a candidate. Bard at that time accepted an invitation to dine with Oxnard, and at the dinner Oxnard put this question: “As you will not be an avowed candidate, would you, in case I became a candidate, do what you can to help me?” Bard replied that he could make no such promise so long as he remained even a passive candidate. He would be compelled, he said, to say the same to an Bimseif. At an interview to-day Oxnard went over much the same ground, and of- fered a New York interview as an ex- planation of his recent active opera- tions in the southern counties. Bard again assured him that his can- didacy could not affect their status as friends. In discussing the situation in | Ventura it was made evident by both amen that an expression of the people of thit county meant much to them. | The Perkins bill to establish a fog signal at Quarry Point, Angel Island, bay of San Francisco, at a cost not to exceed $12.000, passed the Senate to-day. ! i PR et b i Land Frauds Investigated. | PORTLAND, Ore., March 18.—The Federal Grand Jury, which has again in the State, has returned an indict | ment against several people con | cerned in the business.

The executor of the estate was moved some months ago, and giving the administratorship to Public Admin- istrator Hynes the Judge stated that sufficient evidence had been produced before himMn the shape of records of other courts to warrant him in mak- ing an investigatio The case has assumed many aspects. The deceased willed her property to one Charles Rickman, who is represented by Attorney G. W.

She was represented by Attor- neys Nagle & Nagle, but just before the case went to the jury it was compro- noon. ! mised and Marie was given $10,000. The Public Administrator will contest this on the ground that while Judge Troutt the order for drawing that amount of money from the banks, he did not désignate to whom it should be paid. Now comes Aloyzy Sylvester Borow- ski, a resident of Austria, who claims that he was & nephew of the deceased and her only living relative. He is rep- resented by Pence & Golla. A discus- sion arose yesterday afternoen as to the method of proving his relationship, but the Judge decided that it should be e by deposition rather than by a of particulars.
