The sudden break took | place at 5:25 o'clock, before any of the | | workmen had come on the job. Con- sequently.a fearful loss of life was | | averted. Dr. E. C. Dyer and his mother, who live in a flat adjoining, were bad- | 1y frightened by the bricks and debris falling into their sleeping-rooms, but they were not injured. { The cause of the collapse was the | rush of work and the recent heavy rains. The seventy-five ton roof was begun ere the brick walls were many | days old, and the rains kept the mor- tar soft. ‘The weight finally proved | too much for the wall supporting the | ceriter-of the three steel trusses, which plowed its way downward and pulled the rest of the structure with it. The building - ordinance was not violated, although such a report was at first cir- culated, and the blame is placed, in { the main, upon the wet weather and the rushing of the work. The loss will be about $2040, and the completion of the building will be delayed about a month. CENTER TRUSS FORCES WALL. The cntire roof of the new struc- ture is in ruins on the first floor of the building, where it landed after the fall. It was supported by three Steel trusses of regulation size. Two of | | these trusses were supported by steel uprights built in the wall. These did not cause the wall to give way. The center truss was supported by a spe- | cially constructed plece of the wall, | three feet in-diameter. It rested upon | a steel plate. It was the weight of this truss that caused the east wall to bulge and give way. This construction is not prohibited | by the ordinance regulating the con- struction of buildings, and it has been used successfully on ny of the large stretures of this city. -It is supposed to divide the weight through the wall. The bricks were laid by M. Gale. In- spector ~ Patrick Fitzsimmons, who made an examination immediately after the roof fell, found that these were of splendid class. The mortar between them was, however, soft, the result of the fallure to set because - of the wet weather. The general contractor struction of the building burn. He places the blame entirely on the “green” walls. He says that the bullding was being constructed strictly as the ordinance requires. | Architect Matthew O’EBrien, who has in- for the con- is L. W. Co- spected the work almost daily, also lays the plame to the “green” walls. “We figured out the welgnvs very care- fully,” he said yesterday, “and we knew that we did not have that roof too heavy. The plans are here for exhibi- tion to any one who thinks that the building ordinance was not complied with. We were very careful ‘to have everything safe. Just think, the girder supporting the gallery received the ter- rific impact of the falling roof and was not moved or bent.” WAS TO OPEN NEXT MONTH. The Roebling Construction Company had just completed the work of ce- | menting the roof. This was done in compliance with the fire ordinance. Ce- | ment was laid over the roof to a thick- | ness of four inches. The rain fell on | this and greatly increased its weight. : Percy R. Stuart, local manager of this 1 company, places the blame on the “green” walls. The bullding was belng constructed by the Sixteenth-strest Amusement Company, and was to have been opened in a month. President Brown says he ordered the work rushed. It seems a miracle that the collapse did not occur at some other time. The elevators carrying material have been running, and the vibration has been present. Yesterday there were thir- teen men working within the building. The adjoining flats, at 2967-69 Six- teenth street, were damaged to the ex- ient of about $200. This is the third building that collapsed during the present month. — i has QUARTERMASTER'S CLERK PLACED IN CITY PRISON Military Authorities Will Try W. E. Sellwin for Allegea Forgery of Name of Lieutenant McElroy. Acting on a request from the mill- tary authorities Detective Tim Riordan has arrested W. E. Sellwin, clerk to the quartermaster at Alcatraz. The prisoner was turned over to milltary au- thorities. Sellwin is charged with forging the name of Second Lieutenant George C. McElroy of the Thirteenth Infantr. stationed at Alcatraz, to checks. It is alleged that he received the money and decamped. The exact sum secured is not known. ANOTHER STRIKE NOW N FORCE Horseshoers Are Out in Sym- pathy With Stablemen,Who Want Union . Recognized WILL QUIT WORK TODAY Industry Sure to Be Badly Crippled Unless . Settle- ment Is Reached Shortly it e Every union horseshoer in the city will quit his post today. 'An order to this effect was issued last night at the meeting cof the union. The horseshoers &0 out on strike in sympathy with the stablemen, who all quit thelr posts yes- terday morning because their employ- ers refuse to recognize the union that was practically broken up when the fight was lost about two years ago. The union horseshoers have a griev- ance against the owners of the various stables, because it is alleged the latter are now getting their horses shod by union men in shops that are practically owned by the men who control the car- riage and delivery industry of the town. The union horseshoers will refuse to shoe any horses that are not handled by the union stablemen, and as tho lat- ter are all out it means the horseshoers cannot work. The boss horseshoers are standing in with their employes in a measure, £0r the reason that they are against the system of employing cheap men to shoe horees, such as several of the stable and carriage owners are accused of doing. It was rumored upon reliable authority last night that the whole trouble would be settlied within the next three days, though this could not be confirmed. The stable and carriage owners were In a sorry plight vesterday when they found all their men had quit them. Many of the owners have been paying $2.50 a day, the scale demanded by the union, but they all seemed to be bitterly op- posed to recognizing the union. The stablemen say they will fight it out this time, «nd if the horseshoers stay with them it will mean a long and bitter fight. —————— NURSE PULLS A REVOLVER AND PATIENTS GO TO BED Fred Faulkenstein, a nurse in the Marine Hospital, has a new way of putting patients to bed. Last Tuesday morning six sturdy seamen from a German ship, who are being treated for | trachoma at the hospital, were found outside of the reservation by the hos- pital authoritiecs and ordered to bed for safe keeping. The men objected to going to bed at 9 a. m, and malin- tained that they were patients and not prisoners, whereupon the nurse, it is alleged, pulled a revolver and ordered them to retire. Patlents who aré admitted to the hospital from foreign ships are treat- ed as detained immigrants, and the ship owners are placed under bonds as a guarantee that the patients will not escape. As there are no guards at the hospital, the authorities are obliged to keep the men In bed when they will not stay within the reservation. Dr. Henry W. BSawtelle, surgeon com- mander of the hospital, communicated with the German Consul shortly after the trouble, and was told to keep the men within the reservation until they are discharged. e e—— Preparations Completed. The celebration of St. Patrick’s day will be speclally impressive this year by reason of the presence of Dr. Doug- las Hyde, the great Gaelic leader. Elab- orate preparations have been made for the greatest celebration of the Irish national festival ever held on the coast. The Mechanics’ Pavilion will be artistically decorated In Irish and American colors. Dr. Hyde will de- liver the oration and afterward will mingle with the immense audience to meet and greet them. It will be a fare- well to the leader of the Gaelic re- vival, for he leaves soon afterward for his northwestern trip. - Dr. Hyde has won the hearts of the Irish people in San Francisco and it is expected that an immense audience will say good-by to him on St. Patrick’s night. —————— COMMERGIAL WORLD CHANGING DALY Business Firms Considering Humanity in Distribu- tion of Earnings. “Heroes, it would seem, exist always, and a certain worship of them"—so sald Carlyle, and the dally chronicles of our strenuous age bear out his asser- tion. In the discharge of duty, perhaps no other body of men are called upon to face greater dangers than police and fire departments. Certainly no body of men evince: greater self-sacrifice to earn fame and the plaudits of the peo- ple. But often when the heat of battle is passed, the blaze of glory over, and the “good perhaps interred with their bones,” something more substantial js needed. A policeman maimed, a fireman killed in performance of duty is not un- usual. In many instances there are wid- ows and orphans to be cared for, and a feeling that self-sacrifice is not in vain, that wife and children will have means for protection, spurs men to deeds of greater daring and acts for the general welfare. That San Franciscans have alw:‘;fl'u b;en h!ihu& r;spomlve in re- warding brave decds has be evidenced in the past. sy ut a new idea, something original the way of hero rewards, has hgen \‘lulrl3 nished by the well-known firm of S. N. Wood & Co. With true California spirit they have established a fund of $2000 to be distributed on April 15. The fund is “to reward in a material way the sub- lime courage of those who are ready to sacrifice their lives in an endeavor to protect the lives and property of others, $1000 to the fireman and police officers for acts of bravery. Another $1000 to the most worthy causes, persons and in- Minl‘ullons." foal 1 ore practical in its purpose much broader in its scope than ‘th founding of libraries or such purposes as has heretofore been common, it stim- ulates both physical bravery and re- wards moral courage and tends greatly toward the good of the community. ‘With a desire to do the greatest hen- efit and showing their usual confidence in the judgment of the public, S. N. Wood & Co. have invited the co-opera- tion of the people in making these awards. A prize of $100 is to he di- vided among those suggesting the most deserving causes or persons worthy of reward. Al ~hundreds of letters have been received and many novel auigeluon- given, showing thc general public has taken deep interest in this novel departure.

SACRAMENTO, March 14.—The dreams of Sacramentans for a unlon depot in which the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific Railroad companies would meet in, happy accord was dissipated at a con- ference held at the Sutter Club this aft- ernoon between a committee of citizens and Vice President Virgll C. Bogue of the Western Pacific. Bogue told the eciti- zens that it took nearly a year to reach an agreement with the Southern Pacific in regard tq a simple crossing and even then the Harriman line would not act until it had brought out a party of en- glneers from the BEast to look over the ground and report that the step would be an advantageous one from the South- ern Pacific standpoint. Vice President Bogue shattered the hopes of the citizens in another respect. | The Western Pacific has been acquiring nearly half a million dollars’ worth of property across the city at Nineteenth street, the heart of the residence district, for its right of way, and many thought that if it intended to run its passenger line along this strip it would do so at an elevation, leaving the streets free for traffic. Vice President Bogue sald his company would not expect to be forced to run on an elevation unless all other roilroads were required to do so. He said that while the depot would be located at Nineteenth and J streets, there would be no blocking of the adjacent streets with trains. Again, the Vice President said, the Western Pacific, which is acquiring a right of way near R street, from Nine- teenth to the river, for its freight service, could not construct its main line along the river as a substitute for the cross town routes because of the heavy curves neces- sary. The Western Pacific has not yet applied to the Board of Trustees for a franchise, as it will be required to do under the city charter, but it is buying up valuable properties to complete its right of way and has begun one or more condemnation suits. It is paying liberal prices for property, having paid $60,000 for one parcel, $28,000 for another and $25,000 for still another, while scores of other purchases, all at good figures, will be completed as son as abstracts of title are examined. It is proposed to cross the American River north of Nineteenth street with a bridge and the completed route will afford a straight line through the city from Stockton to Marysville for the passenger traffic, with a spur to the river front for freight trains. ' e AMERICAN SAILORS HUNT FUR SEALS WITH BRITISHERS Delicate Point of Law Being Considered Sagely )y the United States Dis- triet Attorney. ‘When the British fur sealing steamer Zillah May put into this port last Tuesday evening for the purpose of landing a sick sailor it was discovered that the four members of the crew were listed as natives of the United States. As the Revised Statutes prohibit Amer- fcan citizens from hunting seals north of the thirty-fifth parallel of north lati- tude, Customs Collector Stratton yes- terday morning called the attention of United States District Attorney Devlin to the fact that the sailors mentioned had been violating the law. The sailors gave their names as C. Johnston, E. C. Hawkins, Jack Dearhart and Frank H. Carlton. Assistant United States District At- torney A. P. Black said that he doubted whether the law applied to American citizens when acting as members of the crew of a British vessel entitled to hunt for seals in waters prohibited to Amer- jcans. It is not likely that anything further will be done in the matter. —_——ee—— Hears Cases of Dismissed Men. The Civil Service Commissioners heard the cases of Edward J. Brandon, superintendent of sewers, and J. B. Cowden, superintendent . of street sweeping, the two civil service em- ployes who were suddenly let out by the Board of Public Works. They were represented by Judge Slack, attorney of the Civil Service Assoclation, of which the complainants are members. After hearing the stories of the two men the Commissioners took the case under ad- visement until next Monday evening. ———e———— OFFICIALS OF SANTA ROSA {plar and Mystic Shriners. BROUGHT Heart Failure Ends a Long and Useful Life. Head of Big Foundry Is Called to Final Rest. e Summons Follows lI- ness of but Few Days. Death yesterday removed one of the most prominent of San Francisco's cit- izens and active business men, Samuel J. Hendy, president of the Joshua Hendy Machine Works. Mr. Hendy passed away at his home, 3652 Clay street, after an illness of about a week. Heart failure, brought on by conges- tion of the lungs, was the cause. Samuel J. Hendy was a native of South Carolina, where he was born, 50 years ago. He came to this city in 1872, when still a lad. and after attend- ing school for some time, entered the employ of his uncle, the late Joshua Hendy, then head of the big manufac- turing firm that still bears his name. ,Samuel was a bright man with plenty of business Instinct and his rise was remarkable. ‘When the firm was merged into a eorporation in 1882 Samuel J. Hendy was made manager. He held that posi- tion for eleven@years and when the late Joshua Hendylpassed away in 1893, his nephew was chosen president of the great concern, a position which he held up to the time of his death. When the late Joshua Hendy died he left an estate heavily involved and the litigation over it was long and compli- cated. As soon as Samuel J. Hendy took control of the business his master hand asserted itself and he managed to bring it up to such a high standard as to rank it with the leading big con- cerns of its kind on the Pacific Coast. Besides being at the head of the great manufacturing concern, Samuel Hendy was one of the most prominent mining men in the West. He owned extensive interests in this State and Mexico ané for many years was pres- ident of the Califoria Miners’ Asso- clation. Mr. Hendy was also the owner of valuabls fruit lands in the southern part of the State and devoted much of his tirie to the study, care and culture of fruits. He was president of the Fi- delity Building and Loan Association, also a member of the Mechanics’' Li- bravy Association. He was prominent in military circles, a member of the stuft of Governor Pardee and had held a !lke position with Governor Gage. Mr. Hendy was a popular member of the Union League Club, where he spent a great deal of his leisure time. He was also a high Mason, being promin- ently identified with the Knights Tem- He is sur- vived by.a:wife and four children, He leaves a very valuable estate, estimated to be wotth!-in the neighborhood of $1,000,000. The deceased will probably be succeeded in the business concern by his brother.
