Sub- sequently she was floated and brought into port without further 1 of prop- erty and with no loss of life. The Algoa being under the British flag, a British court of inquiry heard the testimony and rendered the ver- dict. The court was composed of Courtenay W. Bennett, C. 1. the British Consul at this port, Captain | Wood of the British ship Iquique and Captain Armstrong of the Coptic, be- longing to the White Star line. Lockett was called again to the wit- pess stand yesterday and reiterated his statements of the day before regard- ing the occurrences leading up to the Algoa’s going on the rocks. The hear- ing was in open session and at ths it was the unanimous opinion of the court that he was responsible for the disaster. In his testimony Lockett tried to throw the blame for the dam- age to his vessel upon h first mate, Henry Nelson, who let go the port anchor after the starboard anchor had been carried away. Nelson was re- called and explained satisfactorily his action without orders from the cap- tain. The verdict €ully vindicated him and all the crew. VERDICT IS INDORSED. Among shipping men the verdict of the court of inquiry was fully indorsed. It was freely stated that Lockett took an unreasonable ri¢k for the purpose of avoiding pilot fe E mistake will probably prove fatal to his future as- pirations, as the Algoa belongs to the Pacific Mail line, a company which never forgets or forgives a mistake »on the part of its executive offi- Lockett was much perturbed by the | verdict of the court. He shook hands glumly with Consul Bennett, remark- that if the facts had been devel- oped he would still retain his license as master. the Minister of Marine and f Canada and h been in 1894.

They are of the opin- ion that it would have been more prudent for the master 10 lay to for a pilot outside No. 2 buoy, or even to stop or anchor in the channel for 4 ehort time when he thought there was danger of collision rather than to have made the starboard movement. Trat the letting go of the anchor by the chiet officer without instructions was justifiable in view of the fact that the vessel was going | ashore, and they are of the opinion that the letting g0 of the port anchor was mot the cause of the stranding and did not contribute to_it That there was dence of any charg ond or third ‘mate. That Henry Nelson, fi Patterson, second mate, third mate, acted in a seamanlike and proper manner, and that the court sees no ground whatever for blaming the conduct of any one of_them. That the crew behaved in a proper manner; that discipline was good, and the disaster cannot be attributed to any shortcomings on the part of the crew or any one of them. | ; FAULT THE CAPTAIN'S. That the master, Albert Lockett, did all that was possible after the disaster to pro- {tect the Interests of all concerned and acted |in_a proper and seamanlike manner. That the master, Albert Lockett, committed a serlous error of judgment in having star- boarded, in having not laid to for a pilot, or stopped or anchored for a time in the channel | rather than make u dangerous maneuver. | The court desires especially to call the | attention of the Board of Trade to the fact that the sailing directions are not explicit | erough as to the currents running in the har- bor of San Francisco and off the heads, and | that - vessels rounding Bonita Point are mot compelled to give warning of thelr approach by sounding thelr ' whisties, a precaution | which, assuming that the report of the mas- | ter of the Algoa had been sustained in every | particular, ~would, " in all probability, have | avoided the disaster. {7 Ihe court, in purfuance of the powers vest- ed in it, orders that the certificate of Albert ! Lockett as master issued by the Minister of | Marine and Fisheries for ‘the Dominion of nada be suspended for the period of three | calendar months from'this date, but recom- mends that a certificate as mate be issued to him in tbe meantime. —————————— Sue United Raflroads. Suit was filed yesterday in the Jus- tices’ Court by Eva Scoenfeld and Wil- liam Brolley to recover $100 damages.

EEVR 2 McCulloch Goes North. The United States revenue cutter Hugh Me- Culioch, Captain Rodgers, safled yesterday for Unalarka. The McCulloch goes north in place of the Bear, whose officers allowed thelr vessel to stray in the path of the lumber-laden schooner Spokane. The investigation into the colliston s nearly finished, but it will be some months before the Bear, which was dismasted and cut down to the water's edge, will be in | condition for service, As soon as the investi- gation is completed, Captain Tuttle, who is one of the officers on the board of inquiry, will take the revenue cutter Daniel Manning in search of the missing bark Holllswood. g The Overdue List. No change was made yesterday in the rates of the vessels quoted for ‘reinsurance. The Juteapolis, Queen Elizabeth, La Rochefoucald, Largo Law and Willy Rickmers, all loaded with case ol and bound from Atlantic ports for the Orient, are quoted at 7 per cent; the | Wynford, also an oil carrier, remains at 15 per cent; the Laura, now out 138 from Newcastle, Australia, for Tocapllla and more than two months overdue, is quoted at 90 per cent. i Manchuria Clears for He Poth of the Pacific Mail Compafly's new liners, Manchuria and Mongolia, are now heading for San Francisco. The Manchuria cleared on Wednesday from Norfolk, Va., and yesterday the Mongolia left Hongkong for the Jeturn voyage of her maiden trip across the Pacific. The Manchuria, Captain Saunders, proved faster on her trial trip than the Mon- gclia and probably will make better time on fhe run from the Atlantic to the Pacific. e e New Steamer for Coast Trade. The new steamer Northland was launched yesterday at Eureka. She was built for E. J. Podge of thie city and will be used in the coast Jumber trade.

D nee June 14 for Siuslaw River, | for_San | MILK DEALERS Dairymen Aver That United | Milk Company Falsely| Represented ~ Conditions ALLEGE ADULTERATION| Replying to Suit for $10,000 Damages Defendants Are Author of Many Charges b The United Milk Company is charged with intimidation, fraudulent repre- dentation and supplying adulterated | milk in various clauses of the answer| filed in the Superior Court yesterday | by M. Salomon & Sons to the suit of} the milk combine for §10,000 damages. | In its complaint the milk company | alleged that the Salomons had sold to { it the Merced dairy and agreed not to | | engage again in the milk business In San Francisco except as the company’ agents. The Salomons, it was said, did not live up to the agreement, and, fur- thermore, diverted more than 160 of the company’s customers. This constituted | the damages alleged. ( The defendants deny all of the cor-| poration’s charges, and aver that on | February 21, 1903, they agreed to sell | the Merced dairy for $4918 and 300 | shares of stcek in the United Milk Com- pany. The cash was to be paid in two installments of $2418 and $2500. FALSE STATEMENTS. It is declared by the dairymen that they were induced to enter into the agreement by false and fraudulent statements made to them by the com- pany's agents. They were informed, they say, that the company was form- ing a milk trust; that it had bought up all the milk plants and business in San Francisco, and unless the Salomons | would sell the company would cut prices and drive them out of business. The company guaranteed that the 300 shares of its stock were worth $3000 { and would pay 8 per cent profit. The dairymen declare that the statements were all false and were made for the | purpose of intimidating and influencing them, and in fear that they would be driven out of business they entered into the agreement and became the com-| pany's agents. Upon discovering that the company had not bought all the milk plants and that its stock would not earn 8 p#r cent, the defendants say, | they rescinded the sale and tendered back the consideration. ADULTERATED MILK. | They deny that they have been sell- | ing milk since April 1, as alleged, and deny that theyv diverted any customers from the company or that the company lost any customers through the wrong- | ful acts of the defendants. They claim, however, that the com- pany lost customers through its own acts, in that it did not furnish pure milk or cream, but adulterated its milk with skimmed milk and water and colored it with burnt sugar, and adul- terated its cream with lime water. The defendants deny that they have dam- | aged the plaintiff in the sum of $10,000. —_———————— Alleged Robber in Custody. Thomas Hyland, alias Hyde, was arrested yesterday and charged with Irobb?r)‘.

Through Williams the prosecution was able to bring before the court testi- mony regarding the contents of the , warehouses at Crockett and to have the diagrams made by Officer Russell ad- mitted in evidence) His testimony was rather damaging to the defense. The examination of Williams caused another of the long wrangles over the ! admissibility of testimony which have characterized the case since it was first called. During the afternoon Attorney Ach for the defense stated that he was as anxious to see the case finiphed as soon as possible. The prosecution sought to prove through the witness, Williams, that at the time Eppinger borrowed money from thé International Banking Corpo- ration the lots of wheat on which the money was loaned were not in the warehouse, and had not been there for months. The proseeution is also seek- ing to show that money had been bor- rowed on more wheat than the ware- house contained. As a foundation for this the witness was called upon to show just what lots of wheat were in the warehouse and how much was good. His testimony was startling, inasmuch as he swore that certain piles of sacks which were supposed to be filled with first quality wheat contained nothing but screenings or the sweepings of the At the hour of ad- journment he had not finished reading from his list. The case will be contin- ued this morning. ADVERTISEMENTS. A$9 Trunk for $6 It’s ane of our special offers for exposition and vacation travel.
