An export- ing house of this city has requested the ‘Chamber of Commerce to advocate that the island shall be ceded to the State of California by the United States. to the end that it may be leveled and oth- erwise prepared for the accommodation of terminal facilities, including a large union depot, wharves, warehouses, etc. Years ago the Central Pacific Rail- road Company, before the Southern Pa- cific Company existed, moved to have the i{sland ceded for use as a rallroad terminal. There was no other trans- continental road in California. The proposition was defeated, after a hot controversy, and it has slept for a quarter of a century. Since then the transcontinental rallway situation has been changed by the entrance of the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific, by the advent of the Western Pacific and the general demand for greater facili- ties,’ The.principal argument that has been advanced in favor of giving over Yerba Buena Island to the uses of the trans- continental railways is that the ferry runs between the west and east shores of the bay willebe cut down to six minutes. The rallways on the east shore would naturally build out to the island, The Southern Paclfic and the Key Route lines, the latter being used by the Santa Fe in its passenger busi- ness to some extent, are not far from the island at thelr western termini. The Western Pacific survey rplaces the ‘Western Pacific farther off. No action has been taken by the Chamber of Commerce. The matter has been referred to a committes on harbor and shipping, consisting of James Rolph Jr., Captain William Mat- son and Henry Rosenfeld. President W. H. Marston of the Chamber of Commerce says that the trustees will wait for a report from the committee. A suggestion has been made that the plan of utflizing Yerba Buena Island for railway use shall be recommended to the general harbor committee, consisting of members of the several commerclal bodies of the city, with Thomas Magee as chairman, which has under consideration the im- provement of the harbor facilities of the bay of San Francisco. An engineer has been employed by this harbor com- mittee, who is working along lines sug- gested by the committee. No action will be taken by the harbor committee until the engineer is ready to supply data. For this reason some time must elapse before any formal recommenda- tions are made about Yerba Buena Island. The Government works con- nected with the maval training station at Yerba Buena’are quite extensive and costly. —_———— ORDERS TWO PRINCIPALS TO EXCHANGE POSITIONS Board . of Education Puts Albert M. Armstrong at the Head of Parental School. The Board of Education yesterday adopted ‘resolutlans -appointing Albert M. Armétrong, heretofore principal of the Hancock Grammar School, to be principal of the Parental School,.vice Richard D. Faulkner, who was appoint- ed to the principalship of the Hancock School, made vacant by Armstrong's transfer. Armstrong’s appointment is the result of his great success in the handling of boys, especially truants, whom he has disciplined without cor- poral punishment. Armstrong is pe- culiarly fitted for the work iIn the Parental School. © His salary will be $200 per month. The board amended rule 36, providing that, unless permission is obtained from the Superintendent, classification must be made so as to keep the same teacher in charge of a class for an entire year. The resignation of Emmet Barrett as secretary of the board was accepted, and resolutions were adopted testifying to his ability and the board’s apprecia- tion of his faithful service for the past three years. Barrett will engage in the stock brokerage business and his resignation will take effect on May 1, on which date former Election Com- missioner Leffingwell will succeed him in the positio: ———————— SEA CAPTAINS FINED HEAVILY FOR VIOLATING STATUTES Lack of Regard for Amended Passenger Act Gets Them In Trouble With Collector Stratton.

Henry ‘Warrington, 1702 Hayes street, obtained a warrant from Police Judge Shortall yesterday afternoon for the arrest of George Flexner, grocer, 1700 Hayes street, on a charge of . ob- taining money by false pretenses. War- rington’ alleges that he gave Flexner $500 cash and a note for $500 for a half interest in his grocery and saloon on the representations that he owned the stock, fixtures and billiard table and that the net income was §150 per month. Flexner does not own the fix- tures or billiard table, and_the net in~ come 1s not more than $80 per month. —_—————————— Steal Roller Skates. . James C. Willcock, George Rideout and Thomas Shannon, boys, were ar- rested on Wednesday night in a loan several pairs of roller skates in their esion, which they were g to posse! tryin, sell, but refused to tell where they got them. Detectives Regan and O'Connell were detailed on the case. HAWEINS TELL 0F BAD HOTES Bill Raiser Confesses to 7 U. 8. Seeret Service Agent Hazen, Implicating Pal RUTH TAKEN BY CRONIN Laodging- Landladies of Houses Fall Easy Vietims to Daring Counterfeiters et s The capture of Fred C. Ruth, in Los Angeles yesterday, by U. 8. Secret Service | Agent John F. Cronin by order of Agent George W. Hazen, in charge of the office in this city, breaks up what might in time have proved to be the nucleus of a very dangerous gang of note raisers, who make small store keepers and lodging-house keepers their easy victims. Ruth is the pal of Henry R. Hawkins, ‘who was arrested at 211 Taylor -street by a police patrolman last, Saturday night. As soon as Ruth missed his pal he went to the room occupled by them at the Favorite lodging-house on Fourth street near Howard, took their baggage out and went to Los Angeles. On being “sweated” by Hazen, Hawkins made a full confession, sparing neither himself nor his pal. He is 21 years old and came to this city last year from Minneapolls, In whose vicinity be had | been working as a farm laborer. He sald that this was his first criminal offense, and Agent Hazen believes that the state- ment is true. Ruth is about 30 years old, and had served with the Canadian Rifles in the Boer war in the Transvaal. He afterward earned his llving as a selicitor. He came directly to this city from New Orleans. After becoming acquainted here they secured the county right to sell patent window shades in Kern County, but the people, being salamanders and lovers of straight sunshine, would have none of the shades, so the pair returned to this city almost penniless about the beginning of this year. Ruth worked for four days in Purdy's wood and coal yard, 1216 Oak street, and Hawkins got a job in the Cali- fornia Bowling Alley setting up tenpins. Afier they had accumulated a reserve fund of $4 they went into the note raising business, using genuine $1 bills and rais- ing them to the denomination of $19 bills by pasting upon them figures cut from Confederate notes. They had passed four- teen at the time of Hawkins’ arrest, which calamity was due to the fact that he waited too long for his change. On Saturday night be went to a lodging- house, 211 Taylor street near Turk, kept by Mrs. Le Clair, and tendered her a rais- ed bill in payment of $1.50, the rent of a room for a week in advance. She sent a lodger to the nearest grocery for change, but the grocer, who had been previously warned by the secret service people against raised notes, detected the fraud and detained the lodger until the arrival of a policeman, who placed him under arrest. A hasty explanation followed; and the patrolman went to the lodging-house and captured’ the astonished Hawkins. The prisoner told Hazen a peculiar inel- dent. It was his and Ruth’s first ex- perience in passing raised bills. They made their first trial upon the landlady of a lodging-house on Fourth street. Not having change for the ten dollar note, she sent her daugth to get it outside. Fear- ing detection. counterfeiters, without ‘waiting for the girl to return, hastily quitted the place.
