CONGRESSMEN PLAN RELIEF FOR FIREMEN'S FAMILIES Kahn and Hayes to Have Item Incor- porated In Army Appropriation Bill to Ald Families, H. M. Wreden, president of the Board of Fire Commissioners, yester- day received letters from Congressmen Kahn and Hayes to the effect that they will do all they can for the families of Firemen Dakin and Hennessy, who lost their lives during the fire on the transport Meade. The two Congress- men had a conference In regard to the matter and concluded that it would be best for Kahn to try to include an item for the relief of the families of the heroic firemen in the general army appropriation bill. Kahn is a member of the committee and has undertaken to get such an item incorporated and do the best he can when the bill comes before the committee. Hayes promises to assist in the plan.

Further Efforts Toward Change of Fetry Terminals Governor Pardee, Harbor Commissioners Spear, Mackenzie and Crocker, Secretary Foy, Chief Engineer Norton, attorney Da- vis and Chief Wharfinger Welch attended the sessions of the State Harbor Board vesterday. Mayor Schmitz was expected, but did not attend. The Commissioners, after waiting a reasonable length of time for the Mayor, proceeded to the important business on the file. The following reso- lution was read by the secretary: Whereas, The Supreme Court of this State has determined by its decisjon that all the proceedings leading up to the seawall bond issue, provided tor by act of the Lesislature of the State of California, known as tne “San Francisco seawall act” (statutes of California, 1903, page 247) are valid and has by its writ of mandate commanded the State Treasurer to sell at public auction 250 of the bonds as provided therein, a request for such sale hav- ing heretotore been made by this board and transmitted to the Governor of the State, Who accordingly directed the State Treasurer to sell said 250 bonds according to law; and Whereas, The State Treasurer in pursuance of sald writ of mandate has advertised that said bonds will be sold on March 8, 1906, at bublic auction to the highest bldder for caah; an Whereas, Sald “San Francisco seawall act” authorizes this Board to construct a seawall and appurtenances in the manner suthorized bydllw ang at a cost not to exceed $2,000,000; an ‘Whereas, It appears that at least ten days' notice of the time, piace and object of this meeting has been previously given the Gov- ernor of the State and the Mayor of the city and county of San Fraucisco, requesting them o be prasent and taks part dn this meeting; an Whereas, It appears to this board, consisting of the Honorable George C. Pardes, Governor of the State of California; the Honorable Eu- gene E. Schibitz, Mayor of the city and coun- ty of San Francieco; Charles H. Spear, Henry J. Crocker and John D. Mackenzie, comprising the Board of State Harbor Commissioners, convened for the purpose of considering and determining the question of constructing a sec- tion of the seawall, that the funds estimated to accrue to the San Francisco seawall fund by reason of said sale of bonds hereinbefore referred to will be sufficient to meet the con- tract price of such work if the construction shall be ordered; now, therefore, it is solved, first, That this commission does hdreby determine to construct a section of the seawall_ sald pection to extend from the north- erly end of section No. 18, 1000 feet northerly along the water front line, as shown on the official plan for this work , “‘Plan of section No. 12 of the seawall.

The regular weekly meeting of the Com- missioners for the transaction of business other than that pertaining to the seawall extension was convened immediately after djournment. th: acojn'lmunk:m.lon from Postmaster A. G Fisk was read, wherein it was stated that he had received a telegram from ‘Washington accepting the proposition of the State Board of Harbor Commission- ers to heat the branch postoffice near the building for $120 per annum. te;.ryA. Roberts, on behalf of the Mill Val- ley Board of Trustees, presented a protest against changing ferry terminals to North Beach. C.-H. Spear, President of the Harbor Commission, announced that instructions had been given to Chief Engineer Norton to proceed no further in the work of pre- paring estimates for ferry slips at North Beach. It Was said that the Commission- ers directed the engineer to prepare the estimates in order to obtain an expression of public opinion in regard to the change of ferry terminals. The board did not pro- se to compel the North Shore and Northwestern companies to vacate thelr present slips, but sjood ready to provide accommodations elsewhere provided the companies desire a change. Mr. Spear remarked: “The North Shore people feel that we are trying to force them to do something against their interests. More- over, the United Railroads made no sug- gestion whatever touching the proposed change. In all probability ferry terminals will remaln as they are for three years, but ultimately the business will outgrow this buflding. Before long a ten-minute ferry service to Oakland wm‘be demand- ed by the pressure of travel.” / ————————— THANK PUBLIC AND PRESS FOR ASSISTANCE RENDERED rough Fire Chief Sullivan Families kg o:‘ Dead Firemen Express Their \ Gratitude.

Bulger devoted part of one day during the voyage from Honolulu to proving that the tule life preserver 1s more deservipg of the name than is the canvas-covered belt packed with cork. Bulger and Captain O. F. Bolles, Gov- ernment inspectors of steam vessels, have been at Honolulu making an annual in- spection of the steamers plying in the inter-island trade. They returned yester- day on the Manchuria. There was one of the regulation fire and boat drilis during the voyage and at the conclusion of the drill an exhibition was given ‘to illustrate, for the benefit of pas- sengers, just how a life preserver should be used. A discussion followed In which nearly all the passengers voiced disap- proval of the tule life preserver. Bulger took up the cudgels for the Government- approved belt and proceeded to demon- strate the superiority of the article the passengers condemned. Two large tubs were filled with salt water into each was thrown a iife pre- server, one of cork and the other filled with tules. Now the weight in the water of a 200- pound’ human being is less than pounds. The Government requires that all life preservers must have sufficient buoyancy to support twenty-four pounds in the water, Bulger secured two chunks of lead, each weighing twenty-nine pounds. The weight | placed on the cork-filled preserver com- | pletely submerged the life belt, but the tule life preserver floated high out of the | water when a similar burden was im- posed upon it. The weighted life pre- servers were left in the water for four or five hours, considerably -longer than any human being would live In any but warm tropical water. A# the end of the time there was no perceptible change in the tule life preserver, which was still begring its burden high out of the water. Bulger explained that each tule reed contalned innumerable air and water- tight compartments or that until it rotted the tule life preserver was practically unsinkable. The rigid Federal inspection of all life preservers on all American steamships, he said, in- sures the condemnation of the tule long before it has reached the stage of decay.
