SAN DIEGO, F tic April 19.—Captain A. with his big centrifugal is do- 18, B n dredger Salt Lake City, ing and has done a great work in mak- ing perfect the entrance to San Diego Bay. The Salt Lake City.is a power- | ful suction pump on a barge, which also has room for the beilers which supply steam for the powerful pump, engine, workshop and even kitchen and | sleeping rooms for the men who work on board. Through an immense suc- | tion pipe, which drops into the water | to a depth of thirty feet and more if desired, the pump draws up water and sand of the consistency of mud and | drops.it into a barge alongside. The sand remains in. the barge, whilg the water flows r the side, Each barge | kolds about cubic rds of..sand. When a filled Jharge is from the side of the dredger an empty barge takes its place to'be filled,” while the loaded one is towed out to sea and its Joad of 2 through trapdoors into the sea. The illustration shows the dredger filling the last corner of a barge which is already ‘full of sand that its deck is awash. The mud | ency of the material that ccmes from | the discharge pipe can almost be seen in the picture. When empty of load of sand the barge, which here | floats on a level with the sea, floats with its deck six feet above the sea s0 | surface. In the manner described the dredger | through the outer | bar 297 feet wide at a uniféorm depth | of 30 feet at low tide. The depth be- fore the dredging was from 21% feet at low tide on the apex of the bar to 30 feet at the outer ends of the cut. This work has been accomplished the dredger is cutting through the middle ground, which is just inside the harbor entrance and compels vessels to make a turn and get into the western channel in- stead of keeping straight on in what should be and will be known as the | main channel. Here the cut is not near so long and is to be made wider. A channel 500 feet is to be cut through the middle ground to a depth of 28 feet at low water, which is practically the same as the denth outside, where | allowance has to be made for a ground swell of two feet on the ocean. About | one-third of the work on the middle ground has been completed. ————————— Fatally Burned in a Hotel. WATSONVILLE, April 19.—The fire department was called out last night by a small blaze in the Hotel Roma.

BUSINESS i | Large (xrowth in lnterestl This Country Has in LandI That, Now Is Battle Ground | | A systematic study of the (‘ommerc! | of Korea has been made by Director | | Goodwin of .the Pacific Commercial Mu- | seum. The results are Interesting at | this time especially, whén Russia and fJupan are battling for supremacy in #the Korean trade territory. Director | Goodwin finds that the annual volume | of the Korean commerce is about §15,~ 1 006,000, and that the imports materialiy ;sz‘e&-d the exports. While the fereign { commerce of China is carried on al- | ! most exclusively through the treat® | ports, only about a third of the com- { merce of Korea goes through in that manner. | There has been a large growth dur-\ 1ing the last six yeafs in the interest ! . the United States has in Kcrean com- | ;mer('e. In 1903 the United States sold vdu‘e(‘lly to Korea goods worth $400,000. | This amount does not include articles sent to China anfl Japan which ware” subsequently shipped into Korea from | those' countries. Many articles gu through China and Japan that event- vally reach the ccnsumers of Korea. | Therefcre Director Goodwin estimates | 1hat the Korean trade with this coun- i try would show a much larger buik f | | it could all be carefully traced. The imvorts are chiefly cotton { woolen goods, . metals, kerosene, and the machinery fcr the use railroads and those that are eng: in their construction. The chief ex ports are rice, beans, hides, ginswmg; and copper. Director Goodwin ‘shows the extent to which Japan is now in- | terested in the commerce of Korea. | “The. trade of Korea with Japan,” says Mr. Goodwin, “is growing more rapidly than with any other couatry, the importations of cotton goods {rom ! Jupan amounting to from two to thrae | million yen annually. Cotten goods arve ! | the largest single commodity in the ivalue of importations into Korea, { amounting from six to seven million yen : annually. Silk goods imported an\(r\l’ll to about 1,500,000 yen per annum.’ ‘These and other facts have been om- | and | sitk the zed | bodied in a circular to the members yof the Pacific Commercial Museumn. | One leading statement is that the act- | ual trade through non-treaty ports is, probably double that of the treaty ports. | ————— !

When finished, St. Brigid's will be one of | | the handsomest houses of worship in the country. The expenses of build- | ing the beautiful structure have been | very great and therefore the members | & of the parish are aiready making ar-| |nng¢ments to raise funds to pay off | the debt of the church, although it | | will not be formally opened till Oc- | tober. The parishioners plan to conduct a great church fair in August, but prep- arations are already under way to raise funds for the various booths.

Each of the magis- trates has a register of men who have vainly tried to avold contributing to the support of their fcrmer helpmeets, and almost every day some such would- !be defaulter js brought up with a round turn and made to pay into court the sum he was ordered to pay by the Suverior Judge. When there are children in ‘the case the magistrates are especially insistent. ] I John Curran failed to provide for his | he | had been divorced, and yesterday his former wife had him before Judge Mo- gan. It came out in testimony that | Curran remarried ang that his second children. He pleaded Inability to sup- port two families, ag his earnings as | an agent are meager. “You had no business to undertakel the raising of a second family while ! your first cne \was unable to support itgelf,” said the —Judge, “and if you do not pay into this court $10 a month for the support your invalid daugh- ter I will send you to'jail, and thus de- prive your latest family of a provider.” Mr. Curran paid $5 as earnest of his intenticn to abide by the court's de- cree. T e Judge Cabaniss had the case of Leon- | ard P. Cleves, who contemptuously tore | to pieces the order of court command- nance of his divorced wife. The orig- ! inal dccument was shown to Cleves by Attorney Edward W. Madden, and Cléves angrily grabbed and destroyed it and then struck Madden. He will be sentenced to-day for battery. bRy SRt Judge Fritz was the recipient of two alimony payments by as many reluct- ant divorcees. . Without the aid of an interpreter, S. Persaglio and M. Rampani, gentlemen of France who are amusing themselves an O'Farrell street rotisserie, ccnvinced Judge Mogan that they were more sin- | ned against than sinning when Police- bows, shoulders and brows as well as vocally, and it was the pantomimic show that made their narrative intelli- gible. The time was 1:30 a. m. yesterday, and,, the vplace was Broadway, near saglio and Monsieur Ramponi were dis- cussing a private matter, when an in- | toxicated and unkempt unknown ob- | truded his presence and insisted on, mlldly bade him begone, and he re- | | torted by endeavoring to clasp both of | | them in his arms. Then he was struck, | {and as he staggered away into the | darkness the officer emerged from it and arrested them. *‘Ah, sacre! It vas ze sham'—ze out- radge!” exclaimed M. Persaglio, with elevated rshoulders, outstretched hands and indignant brows. “Ar-r-restez we,4 and ze hcod-lum—ze ho-bo—he go free.”” “Aftair ze in-sult we receif! Mon Dieu!” screamed M. Ramponi, with gesture of mingled grief and horror. “Gentlemen, be calm, I pray you,” requested the Judge. “The jar con- and made allowance for by this court. | | Please get out and stay out. Back !to the boulevards, if you cannot ab- stain from holding heart-to-heart talks at 1:30 a. m, in the vicinity of Broad- way and Hinckley alley.” SR When the itten was given to Mr. Harry Crouch bv Miss Mandy John- son he went to her boudoir on Pa- cific street and asked that she return to him ‘several material tokens of af- fection he had given her during the haleyon days of their courtship. Miss Mandy either would not or could not and then Mr. Crouch ungallantly cuffed her kinky coiffure. Battery was the charge entered in her complaint. “He slugged me mos’ shameful,” said Miss Mandy tb Judge Fritz, “‘jes kase 1 didn’t fly to git him the trash he gev me.” “Doan’ yo' blieve dat vah yahn, Jedge,” Mr. Croueh implored. “Dis yah gal's a tryin’ ter railroad me, dat's | what's she's a tryin’ ter do. I nebbah siugged her; I didn’t eben gib her de tiniest biff. I tole her dat F wanted dem vpresents back, an' she gits in de maddest flutter yo' eber sees and has me pinched. No, sah, Jedge, dar wuz no ’sault an’ no battery.” As there was no corroborative testi- mony for the defense, the court or- dered Mr. Crouch to appear for sen- tence this mornlng Edward Eldfldge and three other youths in their teens were drunk and “doing the tenderloin” when a patrol- man overhauled them; and a search of Master Eldridge’s pockets was re- warded by the discovery of a murde! ous-looking “blackjack” and a black handkerchief with eye holes, such as is worn by stage burglars. As! the de- fendant could rot explain to the ut-‘ isfaction of Judge Cabaniss how he | came to have such articles in his pos- session, he was sent to the County Jail for four months. L) “Won't you come home, Bill Bailey, Won't you come home?” ‘Warbled Mary Anderson, as she prom- enaded along the north side of Mar- ket street while that thoroughfare was crowded with pedestrians last Monday. evening. Her vocalism wase loud enough to make her the c.served of all observers, and a crowd of admir- ing small boys dogged her uncertain footsteps. Patrglman Dolan waf stand- ing at Mason and Turk streets when he heard the singer, and his fine sense of harmeny was shocked by the ruth- less wav in which she managed her crescendos. So he booked her for dis- turbing the peace. Mary did not look happy as she faced tpz"pemnm eye of his Honor Mogan. did she seem to be sur- prised when he remarked that he had seen her before. “Yes,” she murmured, “you saw me standing where I am now, and you handed me six months for vagrancy. 1 was released ,from the County Jail yesterday mon{inl. and here I am again.” “Your vocal exercise was in cele- bration of your return to freedom, I suppose?” ventured the Judge. “Yep,” replied Mrs. Anderson, “and I suppose I'll get six months more for jt.” “I wouldn't wonder. But we'll de- cide that to-morrow.” ez te After quarreling at 4 o'clock yester- day morging in their common apart- ment at 634% Broadway, both Ernest Vanueei and Silvia, his wedded wife, decided that they would rt to meet no more on this sphere. 'In pursuance of that resolve the man—as men some- times do—went forth to seek forget- fuiness in strong drink, while the woman—as women frequently do—de- termined to find oblivion in the grave. So she swallowed a large dose of po- tussium of something and lay down to die, in.which condition she was| found by the man, who had returned to ask her for more money with which to precipitate his flight to sodden ine- { briety. He was still sufficiently sober to realize that delay in summoning aid for the woman might prove fatal to| her and inconvenient to himself, so he lost no time in getting her removed to the Receiving Hospital. There she responded to restoratives and was soon | pronounced out.df danger, and then both she and the man were arrested and booked for vagrancy. They will he tried before Judge . Mogan next Tuesday. . Albert Mulberry and John Juhnsnn had been making a night of. it and) were awaiting the arrivai of an owl| car at Haight and Stanyan streets when three waiters, who had also been sipping nocturnal pleasures, joined them in waiting. discussing the irregularity of the cars that fly by night and the argument soon became so earnest that a battle royal resulted, Mulberry and Johnson | being pitted against the trio of nap- kin flourishers. They were all mixed P {up when a brace of patréfmen arrived and arrested Mulberry and Johnson, it being shown that they had been the | aggressors throughout. Judge Frilz will deliver sentence to-day. P “These chaps are afflicted with the sun-bath habit,” Cavanaugh as he accused Thomas Punch and George Stewart, flashily attired young colored men, of vagrancy. “I'hey do nothing except chase the sun all day and right,” continued the officer, “and I n’'t find any honest channel through which their glad rags are obtained.” Thomas and CGeorge confessed that 1parur'ipanflg in the conversation.

Seventeen-year-old Gustav Benar was such an idle fellow that his wid- owed mother had him consigned to the naval training station on Goat Island, but he had not been there long when .. the routine became irksome and he es- | caped and returned to the maternal | rooftree. That was early in January last, and Gustav never contrfputed cne cent for bed, board or clothing, until his mother, through sheer necessity, was obliged to have him arrested for | vagrancy.

B. Howard, After Honor- able Service, Succumlls to the Political Exigenicies SUZZALO WILL RETURN Former Incumbent Will Be Reappointed and Leave Ar- thur McCurda Undisturbed Deputy Superintendent of Schools w. B. Howard will, at the request of his superior, Superintendent Langdon, re- tire from his position on May 1, to make room for Henry Suzzalo, who formerly held one of the deputyships. In asking for Howard's resignation Langdon by no means casts any re- flections on his ability and efficiency in the place, but it is simply a case of Howard succumbing to the political ex- igencles. Howard was the fourth deputy ap- pointed by former Superintendent of Schools Webster and has held the place ever since Langdon assumed office in January of last year, although Lang- | don asked for the resignations of the | other three of Webster's deputies al- imns! immediately after taking office. It was supposed that the deputies were ’appolnted for a term of four years, but | the Superfor Court decided that they | held office at the pleasure of the Su- | perintendent of Schools. Howard's | four-year term will expire in May, and thus he has reaped the benefit of a [full term. Howard will retire with | the good wishes of all those with whom { he has come in contact, including the School Directors, principals, teachers and his coworkers. | Suzzalo, who is about to return from Columbia University, #here he held an important post in the educational de- partment, will be appointed to the va- cancy created by Howard's retirement. | Suzzalo is on a year's leave of absence and was succeeded last May by Arthur . McCurda. but at the time it was understood that McCurda's appoint- | ment was merely temporary. McCurda has been doing good work in his position and Superintendent Langdon is desirous of retaining him. ‘Thz! Langdon will do so seems to be assured, and Suzzalo will take How- | ard’s place in order to leave McCurda undisturbed. — e | SUTCLIFFE CONVICTED AND TIGHE CONFESSES Two Passers of Bad Coins on the Way to Join Their Comrade in Prison. : | ” George Tighe and Thomas Sutcliffe were tried before a jury yesterday in the United States District Court on an indictment containing nine counts of | passing and attempting to pass coun- | terfeit coins. Toward the close of the | trial P. J. Mogan, attorney for Tighe, interposed a plea of guilty. Sutcliffe | denied that he had passed any bad coin, knowing it to be such. United States Secret Service Agents | George W. Hazen, Thomas B. Foster {and T. R. McManus testified to hav- |ing shadowed the defendants and Charles W.

Richard Kummerlander, saloon-keep- er in the basement of 544 California street, reported to the police yester- day that between midnight and § | o'clock yesterday morning his cash | drawer had been forced open and $20 in silver stolen. It is supposed that the thief was locked in the saloon when it was closed at midnight, as the pad- lock on the outside front door was all right, but the inside lock had been broken off. When the thief found that he could not get out by the front door he made his escape through the ele- | vator leading to B. F. Jellison's sa- | loon above.
