Fifteen Hundred Men Out. Neither Business Agent Casey nor Secretary McLaughlin would give out any sion all day. The men were standing around the place ready for picket duty. A dozen or more would jump Into a wagon and rush off to some barn -where the teamsters stood in with their employes', but collisions the opposing factions were averted by the presence of the number of policemen on duty. SOME INCIDENTS OF THE FIRST DAY OF THE TEAMSTERS' LOCKOUT.

The Bartenders' International Union last night donated $10 to the striking machinists to be sent through the San Francisco Labor Council. The initiation fee was raised to $2 50 and six new members were initiated. Bartenders Hake a Donation. No action has yet been taken by the Porters, Packers and Warehousemen, or any of the other unions connected with the Water Front Federation. The executive council of the federation had several meetings during the day to dicuss the situation, but was unable to decide upon any definite plan of action.

The lockout Inaugurated by the Draymen's Association has placed them somewhat at a disadvantage. A special meeting will be held to consider the situation some time during the day. i WASHINGTON, D.

OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC SLOPE VISALJA. July Horticultural Commissioner O. S. Riley said to-day that tho pear orchards of the San Joaquin Valley would soon be things of the past unless some means could be devised to check the ravages of a disease known as pear blight. He said that nine-tenths of tha orchards of Kings and Fresno counties were affected.

The blight is spreading through the Tulare County orchards at an alarming rate. It attacks the buds first and then works backward to the branch and trunk. It the most serious menace the fruit-growers of this section have ever been called upon to face. Railroad vs. Nevada Assessor.

CARSON. July. The case of the Southern Pacific Railroad vs. the Assessor of Nevada opened In the United States Court to-day. Numerous affidavits were read on both sides.

The Southern. Pacific counsel asked for one week's time to rebut the State's affidavit. This was denied by the court and the case will go on tomorrow.

He was unmarried, but was to have wed Miss Etta Moore of Waterville on Thursday of this week. He was a lawyer and realty broker. Judge Neal of Davenport Is a. brother of the deceased. Neal lived at Chesaw, nearly one hundred miles from, where he died.

He had been in Waterville and went over to Chelan. twenty-five miles, on business. On Friday he paid his hotel bill and said ha was going for a row across the lake. As he did not return, search was made and the man was found dead In his boat. SEATTLE, July J.

M. F. Cooper of Waterville brought the news to this city this morning that A. G. Xeal, formerly United States Receiver of the Land Offlco there, was found dead in a row boat on Lake Chelan on Sunday morning.

Neal was a prominent citizen and his death, has cast a gloom over the entire county. He evidently committed suicide, although it cannot be conjectured what led to such a step.

Six weeks ago he attempted to run Ventura for a day, but was promptly placed under arrest by Constable Russell, after a hard fight. Russell came out of the affray slightly disfigured about the face. Only a short time ago Waxsmith created a row In the town of John Bottoms this morning pleaded guilty, to a charge of disturbing the peace.

The examination was held in Cleveland which was crowded. District Attorney the prosecution, i Gregg and Waxsmith, the latter of whom shot Mayor O'Hara, will be taken to Santa Paula to-morrow morning. Gregg and Weekly are likely to be fined heavily. Indignation grows as events leading to the tragedy are known. It was learned to-day that a Mexican had a narrow escape 'from death in -the Cerf saloon late Saturday night.

The rioting machinists were all in this house when the Mexican entered to obtain a drink. Waxsmith wantonly fired, upon, him, the bullet passing within a few inches of his head. The stranger and another Mexican were badly- beaten. Constable Beard is bitterly denounced for having refused to arrest the rioters on the ground that he had no warrant. The arrests were finally made by citizens.

VENTURA, July Feeling still runs high in Santa Paula over the shooting of Mayor Paul O'Hara by rioters yesterday, and there is a probability that should the Mayor's wound prove fatal the populace will not wait for the slow-going and uncertain law to wreak vengeance upon his assassin. chances are, greatly against the recovery of the wounded man. As "yet a big piece of bullet In his head has not been- found. He passed a restless night and was very weak to-day. Charles Waxsmith, who fired the shot that may cause the Mayor's death, Is still in jail here, and precautions are being taken to prevent an attempt to" take him from hia guards.

BALLA.RD, July Word has been received here of a horrible accident that will cause tha deatb of a 5-year old son of Prospero Lafontalne, a resident of Santa Aqueda Canyon, eight miles east of this place. A runaway saddle horse had been caught at the place and staked out in the yard. It Is supposed tbat the child overheard a remark that the horse needed water, and. without knowledge of any one, untied tha animal with the intention of leading It to water. The animal was a bronco and bolted the rope entangled on the boy's arm.

The Uttle fellow was dragged by the brute almost two miles, across a over rough roads and even around trees, when he was finally overtaken- by members of a header crew led by the father of the boy. The horse in Its wild flipht kept out of sight of the mother, who vainly endeavored to overtake it on the nare back of a ranch horse. The child, though frightfully mangled, still lives.

TWO INSTRUCTORS ENGAGED. Special Dispatch to The Call. Stanford's President Tells of Conditions Following Annexation. David Starr Jordan Returns From Hawaiian Islands. FINDS MANY NEW SPECIES OF FISH Captain Thomas of the little 10-ton schooner Halcyon, which left Nome on Isovember lest with freight for a roadhouse up the coast, was caught in the Ice and drifted westward.

Forty miles from Northeast she was hemmed in by the ice pack. Captain Thomas and a man named Egan formed the crew, and there were no passengers. Both abandoned the schooner and started for the mission. Captain Thomas, however, turnl ed back rather tbfcn risk his life In crossing the ice pack. Egan continued his journey and two weeks later he was found by some natives, and piloted to the mission.

He was In bad shape but soon recovered. Nothing since has been heard of Captain Thomas and It Is believed that he met death in the little vessel.

Acting, under the advice of his counsel, Judge C. S. Johnson, Schneider also let lays, and his laymen were put in possession, there being thirty or forty of them on the different claims. Subsequently an agreement was reached between the respective counsel, that both sets of laymen should be "permitted to work, if they could do so amicably, the San Francisco people to receive o0 per cent of the proceeds, Schneider 25 per cent and the remainder to deposited in escrow and to be litigated to determine the ownership. The Sail Franciscans now hope to make a ten-strike by taking forcible possession of the disputed claims.

Perish.es in the Breakers. Mrs. Mellmore. wife of Captain William Mellmore. was drowned In the surf at the mouth of Sinrock River on June 26.

while the captain was attempting to make a landing during the prevailing storm. Captain Mellmore and his wife, during the month of April, went to Bridget Creek on a prospecting- tour. They were returning- from there in an open boat and had safely made the distance along the coast from Port Clarence Bay around the point, when they encountered a heavy gale. It is supposed that, fearing to risk it any further. Captain Mellmore, who is a.

thorough navigator attempted to make the mouth of Sinrock River. At any rate when they got into the breakers the boat was capsized and before the captain could rescue his wife was drowned and carried away by the undertow. Mrs. Millmore was a Miss Fulcomer, formerly of Kansas. She was noted for her literary accomplishments, having contributed many interesting and historical articles to the leading: magazines of the States.

In iBSei Bhe went to the Yukon as teacher for one of ihe Government schools at Circle City, vhich post she filled with marked ability for about one year. She then returned to the States and came back to the Yukon ag-ain the followingyear, and in the fall of 1899 she was married to Captain Mellmore. who was then collector cf customs at Fort Yukon.

The first play rame utj at the Dexter when "Bull Con" Jack and Gus Seiffert attempted to put Earp and Charlie Hoxsie out of business in a few turns. "Bull Con" made several stiff bets, and with his usual luck, won. and the dealer did not cut him down until he attempted to bet $1000. It was lucky for lhe dealer, as Jack won his $500 bet. and for some time that was the en a single card.

There was another stiff plav in tha Northern when four gamblers pooled together in order to win out enough to Ftake themselves to a bank roll. They started in with $S0 bets, which is the usual limit the Northern, and then commenced to double, winning every bet until they had 11050 in checks out. They then stacked them all up on the ace and asked the dealer to turn for the bunch but before doinjer no the dealer asked Proprietor James Murphy if he would "stand for it." "Let the put on as much as they want and if the ceiling is too low we'll tear it off." said Murphy. "With that the dealer wet his finger and clipped off a card. It was a great big bullet, and four disgusted sports walked out of the house.

A. Macadams, nicknamed "Checkers," was cne of the first prospectors to visit Kougarok district. He was "grubstaked" by Chris Schneider, who claims to have advanced $8000 or $10,000 In alL Recently Schneider learned that "Checkers" had sold his Kougarok claims, the purchasers being a San Francisco syndicate composed of Count Podhorski, A. J. Brander.

E. J. Harlow and M. T. Brander.

The consideration is alleged to have been. 55000 cash and $80,000 on bedrock. "Checkers" got the money, squandered some of It and departed. Schneider heard of the reported sale and immediately recorded the "grubstake" contract he had with Macadams, by which Schneider was to receive a half interest in everything: staked by "Checkers." NOME, July Twenty men, "armed to the teeth," left Nome yesterday for Quartz and other creeks to attempt to take possession of a number of disputed claims on behalf of a San Francisco syndicate. Two hours later Chris Schneider started with a posse, heavily armed, with the intention of reaching the claims ahead of the San Franciscans and giving them a warm reception.

News of a battle is expected hourly Special Correspondence of The Call, Saa Francisco Syndicate Sends Posse to Seize Gold-Producers. Probable Battle Over Kougarok Mining Claims. ARMED MEN GO OUT FROM NOME The condition obtaining in the business district yesterday was a tie-up more or less complete of all those industries dependent to a greater- or less degreo on tho services of the draymen. 'Where hundreds of trucks daily rumbled, few were to be seen. On thft wharves large shipments of fruit awaited removal, but the teamsters refused to haul them and it found necessary to send large quantities to Oakland for sale over there.

Anybody who had the means to carry off the stock could get fruit for a mere song. Demonstrations by Teamsters. Early In the day demonstrations were made by the teamsters, and some of the men driving wagons and trucks left them in the streets without delivering tho loads. Secretary Renner of the Draymen's Association telephoned to police headquarters for assistance and officers were detailed to escort the wagons to their destinations. Even this precaution did not prevent a general stoppage of business.

John Law, an old man, who has been employed as a teamster for many years on the water front, endeavored to move a largo lot of goods. At the. corner of East and Market- streets a heavy case fell As a result of this ukase, President Tilden and Treasurer Fuller took off their coats and managed to move a quantity of goods, but their efforts would not win them distinction as teamsters. When the matter was called to the attention of Collector of the Port Stratton yesterday, he notified Charles L. Tilden, the president of the company, and J.

V. Fuller, the treasurer, that the goods must be removed from the wharves to the Appraiser's warehouse at once, and If necessary the United States would place guards upon the wagons to prevent any interference with the drivers. UNCX.E SAM may be "Casey at the bat" before the trouble between the teamsters and their employers is settled. The Overland Freight and Transfer Company, which has a contract with the United States Government to haul bonded goods from the wharf to the warehouse, has been deprived of usual force of teamsters in consequence of the disturbed relations existing between the Brotherhood of Teamsters the Draymen's Association. The Federated Steamship Painters, which organization does not belong to the" Water Front Federation, had a with, the Marine Painters' Union.

The former does the finishing work on the interiov of the- cabins while- the other union does the' outside work. The members of the Marine Painters', Union 1 refused to work with the Federated Steamship Painters and began a strike. After being out for several hours, the Marine Painters' Union made overtures to the Federated Steamship Painters' Union for an amalgamation. It is expected that this will be effected yery shortly. An effort was made by some of the larger business houses to utilize the smaller express wagons to handle the freight coming in and going out.

but the wagons were inadequate to the task. At the Southern Pacific depot at Fourth and Townsend streets a long line of drays were drawn up, but the lack of knowledge of how to ship goods congested the sheds. The pickets from the Brotherhood of Teamsters. were on and by deriding the efforts of the expressmen succeeded In practically nullifying'thelr efforts.y..-. Secretary Renner of the Draymen's Association says that about 500 men were discharged during the day.

"We are meeting the men at all points," he said. "If they do not want to work for Painters'" Unions May Unite. The American ship Emily F. Whitney, which has been waiting a load of freight at Oakland, could not be. loaded.

The vessel was put on the drydock to make some needed repairs pending a settlement of the difficulty. At the Pacific Mail dock and at the Oceanic Steamship dock nothing was doing for the reason that there were no steamers either to load, or to discharge. Several are expected in within the next forty-eight hours, and it is anticipated that there will be more or less trouble when they arrive. Considerable difficulty was experienced along the water front in the loading and unloading of various vessels. The British ship Allerton, af Main-street wharf, the British General and King Edward at Howard-street wharf and the John Cooke at Beale-street wharf could not discharge their cargoes on account of lack of help.

He asked some of the bystanders to assist him, which they were willing to do. but some of the strikers' pickets Interfered and it was only after considerable that he obtained the assistance of a few sympathizers and succeeded in loading his wagon. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1901. United States Government, Interested in the.

Movement of Freight From Wharf to Bonded Insists Upon Full Compliance With the Letter of Its Contract and This Puts New Phase on the Controversy STRIKE OF TEAMSTERS IS CRIPPLING THE BUSINESS OF THE ENTIRE CITY us on their own terms they can quit Just as soon as they please. When the people of San realize the injustice of their claims they will rise in their might and stop all this foolishness. It Is nonsense for any man, or set of men, to attempt to dictate to their employers how this or that business may be conducted. We might as well fight the issue, to a finish first as last. We are in the fight to stay and propose to teach the laborers a lesson.

A few days of this of business will rouse the whole State to -action and the end will soon come. The "people are getting tired of these 'Eastern-Induced strikes and as it strikes the pockets of every man, woman and child In the community, people will realize that the most determined stand that can be made against these, aggressions' is the only one that will finally win out. That business should be. tied up in -this manner at tho present is a disgrace to the intelligence of the people 'of California. The instigation of the strike was trivial.

Dr.

Jordan went out as scientific head of an expedition for the United States Fish Commission. His colleague in the work and Its business head was Dr. Everman of the Smithsonian Institution. Besides these two there were In the party John N. Cobb, statistician; Mr.

Goldborough; George Shindo, a University student, and two artists. Dr. Everman became ill from drinking undistllled water shortly after reaching: the Islands and returned to the United States, leaving Dr. Jordan in full charge. Dr.

Everman is now elowly recuperating at the' home of Dr. Jordan on the campus. The expedition was sent out by the Government under a provision of the annexation act which required, among other things; that fishes and fisheries of the islands should be Investigated and reported upon, as a basis for Congressional legislation. The work has been both historical and scientific A complete copy of all the laws that had been passed before annexation was made under the direction of Mr. Cobb and will serve as the base of his report.

Queer Fishery Laws. These laws show that conditions have existed, and still exist, that are foreign to American laws. For example, individuals hold as private property the bed of the ocean for as much as a mile from the shore. Such owners have the right to "taboo" certain species of fish or to forbid all fishing; within their grants. The effect of "tabooing" Is that all persons who take "tabooed" fish must give them up to the owner of the water in which they are taken.

The "tabooing" of fish was one of the royal prerogatives during the monarchy. Frequently, in times of royalty, arms of the bays were fenced oft from the ocean by forced labor, and granted as fish preserves to private persons who were often Americans. These various water rights, which have survived the passing of the monarchy and the annexation, will furnish themes for the consideration of Congress. The purely scientific work of the expedition has proved very important. Up to the time of Dr.

Jordan's departure 240 species had been taken. Of these fifty were new. If nothing more had been done than simply to secure these specimens the summer's work would have been a success. Expert Fishermen Needed. The fish question is of great importance to the islands because of the dependence of all classes, but more particularly the natives, upon fish for food.

Deep sea fishing Is little carried on, because of lack of crews. The natives are not good for the purpose, and no others are to be had. Dr. Jordan's suggestion to obviate this difficulty is that expert fishermen from San Francisco be induced to go to Honolulu. The supply of fish that can.

be taken near the shore Is being depleted by the steady drain upon it. Especial recommendation will be made to Congress by Dr. Jordan on this subject. The main provisions of the legislation to be suggested will be First, that fishing: in some waters be enrtirely prohibited for a time; second, that there be a closed season during the time for spawning; and third, that fishing with nets of less than a threeinch mesh be forbidden. The greatest needs of the islands, industrially, is labor.

The Chinese are shut out by the exclusion act of the United States. Japanese, laborers are prevented coining by home legislation that forbids them to emigrate. More than 1000 Porto Ricans have been imported, but their value as laborers is still undetermined. Most of them, have been 111 on first arriving, though on recovering they seem to have proved fair workers. The United States cannot be depended upon for the labor supply, since Americans are usually able to find more profitable employment.

Politics on. the Islands. The future of the islands politically is uncertain. Dr. Jordan believes the Territorial form of government will be the best possible.

The present Legislature is composed principally of natives, with a few Americans and one Russian. The legislative efficiency of the people will continually improve with experience. It Is Dr. Jordan's opinion that the evil of corruption in the Legislature is little to be feared, as mercenary considerations do not strongly influence the native Hawaiians. He believes, however, that it probably would have been the wisest to have imposed a property qualification for voting.

At present both the Chinese and the Japanese, who compose the chief industrial strength of the islands, are excluded, and the qualification for others is the ability to read and write the English or the American language. 3 Frankfort American INSURANCE COMPANY OP NEW YORK.
