VALLEJO, Fep. I7.—Lieutenant John White of the Marine Corps, stationed on the Mare Island Navy Yard, the officer in charge of the gate at the yard, spent a most unpleasant half hour in the office of Rear Admiral McCalla this morning, and the employes of the navy yard grin broadly when the lieutenant’s name is mentioned. The whole trouble was due to a bull dog belonging to Al Gordan, an employe of the yard. Gordan’s dog, which disap- peared three weeks ago, was found last Thursday night in possession of the marine guard at the gate. White was on duty, and Gordan went to him and de- manded his animal. White became very abusive and ordered Gordan under arrest for in<olence to an officer. Gordan was confined in the guard house for an hour and then allowed to return to his home in this city. Yesterday he took the matter up with the commandant, who, after an investigation, awarded the animal to Gor- dan, Last evening at 5 o'clock when the navy vard mechanics were boarding the ferry- boat at the gate to return to this city, Gordan camé aboard, leading his dog. White saw the animal and attempted to secure it, but was jostled by the crowd of 1900 men until Gordan got aboard the boat with the dog and secreted himself and the canine. White, with a sergeant of marines, attempted to search the boat, but made poor progress in the crowd of workmen, who appreciated the chance to “get even.” He then went ashore to get a detachment of marines to do the searching and ordered (Gaptain J. Gorham Nevins of the ferry to hold the boat for an hour. The only person who has the authority to change the running time of the ferry is the commandant, so Nevins pand no attention to tne wrathy subalt- ern and pulled out of the dock. As White and the marine guard at- tempted to get aboard the ferry the jeers of the big crcwd of workingmen filled their ears. Admiral McCalla heard of this incident this morging and gave White a severe reprimand for his assumption of author- ity. —————— Los Angeles to Have Big Store.
