James McKenzie had noticed the ves- sel before she headed in toward the dock and later as she started on her fatal trip toward the San Quentin shore. When the wreckage began to drift into the little cove half a mile east of the dock he was one of the first to investigate such articles as came eshore. Half of a valise was found which evidently belonged to Claude E. Kepner, as a package of let- ters addressed to that name. care of the steamer Altgn, was found among its contents. For three-quarters of a mile east of the San Pablo dock the shore was coat- ed with crude oil and wreckage from the foundered steamer. Nowhere, however, could anything be found bear- ing the name of the ill-fated vessel. £EF AT SAN QUENTI Several of the officers and guards at Ssr Quentin prison witnessed the sink- | ing of the steamer and were first to re-) port the vessel in distress. One of the guards first saw it and reported it to Captain Russell.

Bard, United States Sen- ator, ompanied by Mrs. Bard, ar- rived the city last evening from Washington, D. C., and registered at the Occidental Hotel. They will remain in San Francisco until next Saturday and then to Hueneme, Ventura County. The Senator says very frankly that he would appreciate the honor of re- election to the United States Senate and would take pleasure in serving the State for another term in Congress. He maintaing, however, that he is not an active candidate, preferring that the people of California should decide them- go selve: without direct solicitation on is part, whether they desire his re- election to the ite. He - refers to > correspondence published some time 20 regarding his attitude toward the question of the Senatorship and admits that several of his friends in the south regret that he was not more explicit. He fee nevertheless, that his position was fairly understood in Riverside, where his candidacy was indorsed by the convention. e OXNARD'S ASPIRATIONS.

To-day Perkins and Bard ngs. There is an circies that the Senator will preserve strict neu- trality in the event of an animated contest between Senator Bard and Mr. Oxnard, but the inference is denied that the junior Senator, on the grounds of reciprocity, will expect something more favorable and inspiring from Senator Perkins than cold neutrality. Senator Bard brings encouraging re- ports concerning the enthusiasm and unity in Republican ranks of the East. He would not be surprised if the nomi- nation for Vice I‘risfldenl should fall to Mr. Hitt. SPLENDID TRAIN ASSURED. The California delegation to the Re- National Convention will | travel from San Francisco to Chicago on one of the best special trains ever placed on the rail. It is understood that the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific | and Chicago and Northwestern mana- gers will see to it that no back number | Pullmans are put in. It is expected that the train will be first class in! | every detail and equal in all respects | to the cars provided for first-class spe- | cial service between New York and | Chicago. | Already seventy passengers of the | required pne hundred are listed for the | trip. Delegations from Nevada and Hawail will very nea make up the | complement. Fulton G. Berry of Fres- | no, Charles H. Spear of Alameda and several other well-known Californians have reserved accommodations on the special. A. Ruef, who is an artist in some | lines and particularly in the line of de- signing badges, fancies that the badge of the California delegation, showing a | brilliant mburst in the Golden Gate, { will not be surpassed in beauty and | stylz by any other State emblem. The bedge will also display the redoubtable | bear. Hammersmith & Field are mak- ing a limited number of these beautiful and somewhat expensive badges. Each delegate will have one for himself and several for distribution as souvenirs of | the convention. ! J. Steppacher, secretary of the Cali- | fornia_delegation, was yesterday ad- { vised by wire that one large room in | the Auditorium had been reserved for | headquarters of the delegation and fif- teen other rooms booked for delegates. | Word was wired that there were no more rooms in the Auditorium. Hence | Californians, other than the delegates, | must look elsewhere for hotel accom- modations. John D. Spreckels, George A. Knight | and M. A. Gunst of the transportation | committee will to-day send out a cir- | cular to delegates and alternates, giv- ing advance information regarding the | trip. The train will probably consist of one baggage car, one composite car con- | taining smoking-room and barber shop, one dining ear and three Pullman sleepers. +- = | crew of the boat hoisted a distress flag.

Hill, president of the Northern Securities Company and of the Great Northern Railway, appeared this afternoon as a | witness before the Merchant Marine Commission, the joint Congressional commission which is investigating the causes of the decline of American ship- ping in order to suggest measures for remedial legislation. “The first thing necessary,” said Hill, “is to create a desire in the people of this country to own ships. It is a purely commercial question. If there is a profit in it people will engage in it; if a loss, it is a question how long the people will stick. Our conditions on the high seas as a nation appear hard to meet. On land, in spite of the high rates of labor, the United States has been able to work out a system without an equal. “Why we are not able to do this on the high seas is not clear to me, and as far as I have investigated it I believe that no amount of direct bonuses. will build it into a life worth living. “What the country wants is a mar- ket. Outside of our agricultural prod- cts—cotton, grain and oil—there are very few things we can export, be- cause the cost of production is so high. We cannot sell them. 1f we would carry those products in our own bottoms it would be a source of great profit. A COSTLY EXPERIMENT. “They can build ships in England much cheaper than here. Citizens of other couniries have owned ships for the last forty years to a greater extent than we. “I have had experience in buildiig two ships—the largest frieght carrying vessels in the world—and I don’t want any more. “I would rather undertake to build | 1000 miles of railroad than two ship&I 1t has taken four years instead of two. | “If we are going to buy a merchant marine out of the treasury of the coun- try it won't last long. We must give| people confidence to invest. 1 “In Japan they have built up a large | marine; they have protected mnnage.j but 1 do not remember the details. | “Our business on the Pacific is hard; | we have to compete with all nations, and they are fighting very hard for the | riental trade. And I think that we have placed obstructions in the way of | this trade. We cannot comply with the regula- | tions placed on us and compete with ships of other nations. We have been | forced out. I “I don’t think you will make much of i a success of buying merchant marine; | | it won’t stay with you. You must get | | people interested, but there does mot | =eem to be much disposition on the| part of the people to go into shipping.” | QUESTION OF SAILORS. In answer to a question of Represen- | tative McDermott, Hill said that his! two big ships cost 10 to 20 per cent| more to build here than abroad, add-; | ing: ‘g'\\'e have very few sailors, even on pleasure ships. Go to Puget Sound— the h2ads of the unions are the board- ing-house keepers. A man who is dead | | broke and broken down by excesses is | | the man sent to us. Same way along shore. You hire 200 men as stevedores, | good, competent men, and tell them to come next day; they don’t come as | would see me in the morning, and he HILL NOT ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT MERCHANT MARINE Railway Chieftdin Declares That the People Must Become a Commercial Proposition Bz- Established on a Sound Base long as they have money—the others are sent. "Suppose your firemen leave your ship at some port. What are you going to do? Hire Asiatics, and the result Is that. while you are nominally sailing | under the American flag you are sail- ing under a foreign one. You might Jjust as well try to catch a blackbird in the air as to make those firemen come back. “A foreigner might come in and take away our coast trade. But let me tell you that on the lakes the lowest rates’ are paid that are paid anywhere in the world. Six years ago wages were high, but ingenuity and dispatch gave the; best service in the world.” | McDermott pressed the question of | governmental aid. p } “But is the Government able to go far enough?” asked Hill. “If you will admit foreign-built ships free,” said he, “you wili get a merchant marine quickly.” ’ “How are we going to get back a! merchant marine?” asked McDermott. “If you are willing to put a tonnage tax on'all that goes to a foreign mar- ket, everything that goes out of the country, even to new markets, I think you would get the ships. That would come out of the people. i “The ship subsidy started in about | thirty minutes. I had induced the! Japanese to take-our cotton to mix| with theirs so that it would make bet- | ter yarn. The Boer war broke out| and we could not get ships on the Pacific Coast. I had to cancel an| order for 60,000 bales in December.; I came East and saw Senator Fair- ! banks and Senator Hanna. I asked | why we could not get ships to carry | our goods. Senator Hanna said he‘ did. The result was that he opened | his campaign in Ohio on the ship suh- sidy.” , “Then your remedy,” asked McDer- mott, “is an export bounty?” “Yes, that is it.” HILL IS PESSIMISTIC. “You seem to be very pessimistic over the outlook,” said Senator Gal- linger. J “That is because I have looked at it from a purely business standpoint. I built those two ships simply as a regulator to try the experiment. ‘“There are only two courses open— either an export bounty eor Govern- ment assistance, which would rise into very large figures.” “Then you are convinced that we shall have to give some sort of Gov- ernment aid or go out of business?” asked Senator Lodge. “Exactly. If you fix a limit of ten vears on the subsidies the favored party must make the cost of his plant in ten years. Otherwise he will sell out to the other fellow.” “How much do you think would be required for subsidy?” asked Senator Mallory. “Oh, $10,000,000 or $15,000,000 would get a lot of tonnage. You might take it out of the river and harbor bill. “That Japanese line you speak of,” asked Senator Lodge, “is very skill- fully subsidized, is it not?” “I talked to Ito about this: he was with me two or three days and is very capable. If there is a bounty for the line it is so skillfully covered up that I was not able to discoVer it.” The hearing will continue to-mor- row. | | | T BOYS LOSE [ - LIVES INA DA Youngsters That Were /I’lay- | ing on a Raft Fall Into the | Water and Are Drowned Special Dispatch to The Call. | CORONA, May 24—Ray and Jerold, aged 8 and 10 years, sons of W. D. | Powell of this city, were drowned be- tween 3 and 4 o'clock this afternoon in Pedley’s Dam, a mije northeast of Corona. Four little boys left¥for the dam early in the afternoon, and while play- ing on an improvised raft fell into the water. Two of them reached the bank, the others losing their lives. The two boys who were left notified a teamster in the employ of the San Jacinto Land Company of the occurrence, but the man paid no - particular attention, thinking it a joke. The boys then re- turned to town so badly frightened that they said nothing about the matter. As two of Pedley’s men were en route for town this evening they thought they would _go to the dam and see if there was any truth in the boys’ story. They discovered the little fellows’ clothes on the bank, and after a short search re- covered the bodies, which were brought to town this evening at the father's re- | quest. The Coroner at Riverside has been notified and an inquest will be held in the morning. — i Sl these same boats turned their course in the direction of Point Richmond. Those at San Quentin who witnessed the ca- | tastrophe say the boat struck at 3 | o’clock and within fifteen minutes was out of sight. Guard F. B. Mdulton was the first to notice the vessel. In an interview he said: “I noticed the boat as early as 2 o'clock. What first attracted my attention to it was that it seemed to be headed this way. 1 knew there was no vessel due at San Quentin and watched it. In a short time the course was changed, heading toward Point Richmond. In a few min- utes her nose pointed to us again. It kept up this tacking for fully an hour: v;hen it was just near ‘The Hen and Chickens Reef' 1 saw it list to one side and then swing around. It steadied it- self again. A while after a flag was hoisted. I had notified Captain Rus- sell and he was preparing to go to th rescue. I could not see the name of. the vessel. I could see quite a number | of people on the top of the vessel, but could not tell whether there were any women on board ot not.” WOULD SEND HELP. Captain Russell said: “Yes, I saw the boat sink. It went down at exact- ly 3:15, just about fifteen minutes after it struck. We had no available boats here, yet several of my guards volun- tered to go out in a rowboat. We were about to start out when we saw that the life boats had left the vessel and headed the other way. If we had had a launch here we could have reached the vessel soon after it struck.” The oil tank schooner Alton was built in Stockton in 1900, is of 109 tons register and valued at $10,000. The fol- lowing were the men on the ill-fated steamer: Captain, J. J. Denny; engi- neer, David Blanchard; quartermaster, John Ryan; firemen, Floyd and Kep- ner; deckhand, John Escavera, and a Japanese named Charles Okara, | ner through lack of operatives. The e e O 29 EGCS SPATTER A PRESIDENT Head of the Eastern Ore-| gon Normal School Has a| Very Exciting Experience - Special Dispatch to The Call. WESTON, Or., May 24¢.—His clothing stained a sickly yellow and redolent of | the odor of stale eggs, President Robert | C. French dodged across the campus of the Eastern Oregon State Normal| School a night or two since in an ef-| fort to conceal an unpleasant adven- | ture with a number of men supposed ! to be employes of the Weston brick- yard. The effort at secrecy failed and the story leaked out. At a faculty meeting one of t! women teachers charged | President French with making unkind remarks about her keeping company | with a young man employed in the brickyard. “No one but hoboes work in a brickyard,” was the unkind retort. This slur was quickly repeated to the one interested, and the fusillade of bad eggs followed at the first opoprtunity. Other matters have caused Much dis- cord among the members of the fac- | ulty, and the people of Weston are taking active sides. It is alleged that the attentions of Professor Cheesmon, | a youthful instructor, to a teacher have | aroused the ire of the president. Chees- mon is supposed to be engaged to the sister of the president. The sister is a resident of a’valley town, and Chees- mon'’s friends say his show of affection to the Weston lady is purely platonic.

STOCKTON, May 24.—Twenty non- union men arrived from San Francisco this morning to take the places of those locked out of the mills and warehouses, but the strike committee declares that they were successful in prevailing upon several of the score ' not to go to work. The men declare that they were misinformed as to the conditions here. The Sperry Flour Mill started up this morning, however, with sufficient men, according to the state- ment of Manager W. P.
