THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL FATHER LAUGHS Murderer, Displays Levity i o MEETS WITH A REPROOF | Lvidence Is Given by a Wit- | ness Who Saw the Fatal Shot hred and by Others| The trial of Michsel J. McCarthy on charge of murder for fatally shoot- ing his young wife, Octavia, at the »dging-house at 1424 Market street, on September 19, was resumed before a v Judge Cook's court yesterday. There were no sensational develop- ments as on the previous day. The witnesses examined were Mrs. Ovita Hawes, sister-in-law of the defendant; Harry Y. Yatata, a Japanese servant at the lodging-house; Mrs. Helen S. Roberts, a roomer there at the time of the shooting; G. W. Leathee, father- in-law of the defendant; Mrs. Eliza- Sloath, mother-in-law of the de- Policeman John Mullen, who ested the defendant; Detective Ed oson and Assistant District Attor- Louis Ferrari, s ney dying statement.

Mrs. Roberts, who was in an adjoin- g room and overheard all that hap- d, corroberated Mrs. Hawes. Witness Leathee admitted that the defendant choked his wife twice in his presence and called her vile names. At one time the witness laughed and Assistant District Attorney Ashe said “This is no laughing mat- t is & very s:;z us matter.” The reproof had the désired effect.

The steamer Gypsy, the unyachtlike | freighter of the, Pacific Coast Steam- shlp Company’'s fleel long ago earned the title of “Perpetual Motion.” As | oil has wrested from his grasp King ;Coal's scepter, so the oil carriers are running the Gypsy a close race for her strenuous title. The Gypsy rests only while cargo is being loaded or dis- charged. Oil carriers are still only under similar conditions and as the loading and discharging of oil can be carried on with greater rapidity than any other kind of freight can be han- dled, the oil carriers’ rests are shorter than the industrious Gypsy’s brief in- tervals of repose. The day is not far off when the Gypsy must content her- self with being classed as ‘‘near per- petual motion.” The oil carrying steamer Gedrge Loomis arrived yesterday in ballast from Redondo, where she had deliv-{ ered a cargo of liquid fuel.” Then came the steamer Atlas with the big barge No. 93 in tow, both loaded with oil from Port Harford. The steamer Whittier, also an oil carrier, with the oil carrying barge Santa Paula in tow, arrived later from Port Harford with fuel oil for up river. All of these oil carriers will be at sea again to-day, either carrying oil or in water ballast, going for another cargo. | The steamer Argyll with the bark- jentine Fullerton in tow arrived on Monday from Honolulu, to which port they had both carried large cargoes of oil. They sailed again yesterday | for Monterey, where they will load another cargo of oil for Honolulu. No matter how long the run, the oil car- rier’s stay in port is measured by the length of time it takes to pump out the liquid cargo and pump in the wa- ter ballast or vice versa, and the of- ficers and crew of an oil carrier soon come to look upon land only as a place where the end of a big-bellied oil pipe rests. For all they see of shore life they might as weil be oc-y cupying permanent positions on the lightship, traveling back and forth once every tide the length of her an- | chor chain. The tug Dauntless with the oil car- rying schooner Monterey in tow passed Point Reyes, bound south, at 12:30 p. m. yesterday and to-day they will leave Monterey with another car- £0 of liquid fuel. The number of vessels burning oil is daily increasing and the fleet of oil | carriers is growing almost as rapidly. Ola King Coal is up against it. e et Compelled to Remove Wreck. | The Pacific Mall Company for many years | used the hull of the old ship India for a store- | house at Acapulco. Some time ago the India’s | pianks began to sepurate as the ancient,tim- lost thelr power to support the vessel's and caulking no longer se eaking. The hulk her out of the way beached the India’s remains. Government protested against what they can declared was & menace to navigation and the | ¢ Mall Company was ordered to find & other grave yard for the India. J. M. wards, diver and expert wrecker arrived here Mondiy on the liner Costa Rica and yester- day reported to the Paclfic Mail Company that | 4 blown up the India, scattered her de- ng bomes over the ocean and that the jcan Government was satisfied with the way the order for the wreck's removal had been carried out Will Take Smaller Ship.

AWAIT YERKES Internal Revenue Commi sioner Coming to Look Jnto the Matter of Fortifying MAY NOT USE RAISINS Law Exempts Only the Pure| Article From Tax on Grape Brandy Used in Product —_— United States Internal Revenue Com- missioner John W. Yerkes is expected to arrive in this city on May 1. His visit to California is authoritatively declared to be- for the purpose of in- vestigating the methods of manufac- turing and ‘fortifying sweet wines in relation to the internal revenue. Unit- ed States Internal Revenue Agent Bert M. Thomas discovered some months ago that during the heavy rains last fall many thousands of second crop raisin grapes were spoiled on the trays in the flields, and that these spoiled raisins were utilized by the sweet wine makers in the manufacture of wines and the brandy with which they are fortified. The law allows grape brandy to be manufactured for forti- fication purposes to the extent of twen- ty-four parts in 100 parts of wine free of intermal revenue tax, but it spe- cifically declares that such sweet wines must be made from the pure juice of fresh grapes, and the brandy must be made from such wines, but that raisins | or dried grapes must not be used for making either the brandy or the wine under severe penalties. Mr. Thomas reported what he had learned to the Commissioner at Washington. The Cal- ifornia Wine Association has made cer- |tain representations in the matter which it is the intention of Commis- sioner Yerkes to inquire into. During his stay in this State the Commissioner will make an exhaustive study of the whole subject in order that justice may be done to the Government and to the winemakers. The total amount of moneys with- held at various times by former Dep- uty Internal Revenue Collector S. L. Hogue of the Fresmo district is $500. covered Mr. Hogue made good, but he has been indicted by the Federal Grand Jury in Los Angeles and will be tried at the next term of the Federal court Collector Lynch says that the books of his office are in shipshape order. Every year since he has been in the office he has been complimented by the Commissioner for the excellent showing he has made. The Commissioner has recommended to Congress that a tax be imposed upon brandy used in fortifying sweet wines, at the rate of 25 cents for each gallon | of brandy used. ————— BILLS OF THE COUNTY HOSPITAL WILL BE PAID Suy rs Arrange With Auditor to e Up an Apparent Overdraft on Appropriation.
