SHIP OWNERS TRY TO FORCE ISSUE By Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. Shipowners' association of the Pacific coast today attempted to force a settlement of the fight with the marine engineers that has been going on for over a month, by Issuing the order that all vessels under the control of the association should discharge their second assistant engineers as soon as the vessels reached this port, and further requiring that all vessels clearing from Ban Francisco shall sail with two engineers only, lntsead of The order resulted ln the putting out of commission of the steamer Jim Butler and a long wrangle ln the offices of United states Inspectors Bowles and Bulger over the number of men that should sail In the engine room of the William Murphy, bound for Eureka. This latter dispute was finally settled by the changing of the license of the William Murphy to permit of her sailing with two engineers, and the vessel left poiv" with but two in her engine room. Refuse to Take Vessel Out The Jim Butler arrived several days ago and this morning her owners served notice upon Chief Engineer Hans Olsen that he would be required to make his next trip with but' one assistant. The Butler sails for sound points and the engineer Immediately refused to take the vessel out under the new rules.

After considerable discussion Olsen and his first assistant, Carl Husby, left the ship. Her owners have decided not to send her out again until the present controversy ls settled. Notwithstanding this activity on the part of the shipowners to force the marine engineers a decision the engineers nothing will be done until after the regular meeting of i the Marino Engineers' association on (Tuesday ii It la extremely likely that at the meeting I the shipowners will be met with their own proposition and that the engineers' committee will be instructed to arbitrate the differences between the two organizations upon the indicated horse power of the taken ln conjunction with 11 the length of trip the vessels are supposed to make.

The witness said he had been a member the Hop Sing tong for four years, and Wary Charles, one of the defendants, said to be the richest Chinaman In Boston, was president.

Charted said that we would have: to do some killing and make the Chinese business men so afraid that all of them would Join our society.

MANY HUNGRY GIVEN FOOD CROWDS FED NEAR THE COURT 'HOUSE WALL yy -ff yty-y I WOMEN SERVE SOUP TO FAM. I IBHED MEN Ti -ed and' Discouraged Worklngmen Tramp Streets All Day, but Unsuccessful In Search for Work Tlie stately old court house, rising In its grandeur, hap witnessed many scenes 'and tragedies, but none more strange than that of last night when, almost ln Its protecting Shadow, over 100 men were given food.

These men, all ages and conditions, were without homes, without money and were hungry. It wai one of the phages of the city, showing Its cosmopolitan side ln these times of need among the unemployed. Long before the time announced the men came singly and ln twos, and standing on Temple street beside the high stone wall, looked almost like dwarfs standing under the shadow of the great stone The hands of the clock high up ln the tower, almost Invisible in the gloom, slowly ticked off the minutes, which seemed all too long to the hungry men. The men were quiet and stood there, talking quietly or looking from time to time up the street where they knew the food would appear soon. Down Broadway the beautiful street lights formed long, falryllke procession, with the great flashing eyes of autos flitting hither and thither.

And up on Temple, street' stood a hundred men, tired, cold, hungry and many without a place to lay their tired bodies. These many, many of them, had walked all the long day asking for work, but ever in vain, and as a last resort went where they knew they would at least receive a cup of hot soup and a generous slice of bread. This work of giving a night supper was first started by C. S. Parham the Apostolic faith, but yesterday was turned over to Mrs.

Frances H. Fish, whose work among he Volunteers of America and at thu Soldiers'. home has been well known. Care for Idle fff Mrs. Fish has taken a deep Interest In caring for the unemployed and has given generously of her own: fupds.

For the past two nights she has herself paid the expenses of many men for lodgings, I and hopes in the future to receive funds to help her carry on the work. Last night, aside from giving out tickets for the lodgings, Mrs. Fish also had quite a quantity of clothing to give to the men who needed lt, and ln many other ways helped the men. After waiting patiently for the minutes to tick off the men, all keeping a lookout up the.street with a spontaneous movement moved toward the curb as a little band of 'people came down the street with huge bundles. Two men came with a wash boiler carrtecj between them, and these were followed by two others' with an equally large box.

And behind were four others, carrying similar packages. If anyone did not believe in the sincerity In the hunger of the men-who had assembled they should have seen their faces light up at the sight of the food, and all doubt would have been Standing listlessly about while watting, after the food came, in sight each was eager and there was a light of expectation ln I each expectation only to be understood by those who have been hungry, and more than that by those who have been without money to buy -yy Soup Supplied The boilers of soup were placed on the; sidewalk, near the curb, and, standing on the edge of the street the curbing, the men formed in a single flle and, passing, each was given a large tin cup, 'which was dipped In the boiler, each man getting his own cup of, soup. Then large slices of bread were passed out and each man left the line to eat his allotment of the food given After each man had been given. food, those who had been served were allowed to form in line for a second time and many took advantage of this, returning for another cup of soup and slices of bread. Not a 1 crumb was wasted and after the meal had been served and the men had departed to find what rest thgy could, no one would have guessed that a hundred men had had their supper while standing there.

No crusts were thrust aside and no soup was spilled. I This of giving night suppers, which will henceforth be In charge of Mrs. Fish, was started by Mr. Parham, head of the Apostolic faith. Mr.

Parham claims that he broke up Dowlelsm.ln Zlon city shortly before the prophet's death and that he carried religious liberty to that city. Mr. Parham has been conducting revival I services ln Temperance temple for some time, but will leave Los Angeles next week for Texas. He says he cannot secure a hall here suited for his work. He wishes to call In unemployed, talk religion to them and feed them.

The management of the Temperance tempfe objected to having the auditorium of that building turned into a soup kitchen, so, as a result, Mr. Parham conduct i his farewell services next Sunday at the Central Christian church, corner Thirty-fourth Btreet and Maple avenue, of which Rev. ls pastor. Mr. Parham will go from here to Snyder, Texas, and on Easter Sunday will attend the state convention of the Apostolic faith movement In I Orchard, Texas.

It Is said that there are 25,000 members ln Texas; and that throughout the world there are 150,000 members. Mr. Parham says that he believes In preaching a Christianity that will take the world back to the primitive religion. r. When seen last night Parham was very enthusiastic In.the work of helping the unemployed, and said' he only wished he could secure a hall' to carry on his good.work.; When asked regarding his' work In 1 Zlon city he said he had, carried out a i regular revolution and that he did not think that' Mrs.

Dowle could ever become the leader of the Zlon movement. He says she has many enemies in the community of Zlon. as she rose from great poverty an aristocratic position, and that her arlstrocracy was all veneer and was i not approved; of by the people. yy- However, the work being carried on for the men; under the protecting wing of the old courthouse, is undenominational and Is. for I all apply.

No distinction is shown and it Is given In the belief ofthe Fatherhood God andl the brotherhood lof I man. whether that man happens. to be up, Or "down and out."

BY SIDLE LAWRENCE IT Is altogether probable that his excellency. the' president of these United States never saw "Woodland." He ought to see It, however, for It would leave him in a better humor toward" nature; fakers. This dainty operatic fantasy is the magnum opus of the doyen nature faker of them all.

It Is nature faked from the rise 'of the curtain upon the first act to its final descent upon act two. Eagles talk, a blue jay plots, a rooster turns pessimist, I a robin leads an army of legitimists on to victory against an Usurping king; a peacock masquerades as a society leader, a jenny wren dances in a way to sot the ornithologists agape and other curious and entertaining exploits of naturefakery are displayed upon the stage. It Is all delightful foolery to the accompaniment of melodious music and presented in a series of harmoniously colored settings of exceptional beauty. We in Los Angeles have seen no finer stage settings than these designed under the direction of George Marlon, nor have we seen finer effects In the grouping and costuming of the singers. He Wasn't Amused There was one man in the Mason last night who didn't seem particularly amused by what; was transpiring on the stage.

He sat through the two acts of the opera! quietly, but' If he smiled I didn't detect it and I watched every minute of the time I could spare from that bird fairyland across tbe footlights. Humorists are proverbially solemn folk. I argued, this man must be humorist. Certainly no mere dyspepsia could have resisted such -de-, lightful foolery. Then as we passed out of the theater after the opera was over my suspicion became a certainty He of the rueful countenance proved to be the Chevalier Frank Pixley.

He wrote himself and he ought to be able to appreciate It, but apparently he Is not. Next week Mr Plxley's first effort. "The Burgomaster," comes to town. I hope he will go to see It. If he doesn't laugh then there's no hope for him.

This bird opera is not new to Los Angeles. Its delightful melodies havo been heard here before, and Its beautiful stage pictures first won our admiration two or three years ago. Repetition, however, In this case merely adds to a present joy the pleasure of retrospection. Nothing more daintily charming could well be There were shortcomings last night, as there always are; but for the opera Itself, for the beauty of Its story, the quaint conceit upon which 'it Is founded, the cleverness of its humor and the tuneful'quality, of lis music, to say nothing of the brilliancy of Its staging, we would gladly fcrglve much more serious faults. Miss Nightingale.

Mary Qulve sings Miss Nightingale this season. Miss Qulve, a sister of Grace Van Studdlford, is a decidedly tretty girl and acts her role with commendable spirit. Vocally the part deniadns a coloratura voice of good lange, and the singer last night was not always quite up to the music. She displayed frequent tendency to flat high notes, but In the duet with Hazel Cox in act two this fault was not noticeable and the song was given finely. George W.

Leslie as the bluejay and Dwlght Allen as the rooster provide the comedy and proved great "favorites with the audience. Henry A. Barrows sang the role of owl In a voice of decidedly nasal quality that detracted much from his work. Leila Smith as Jenny Wren and Mabel Jones as the cold combination those and divinely with their feet. Both girls are unusually clever dancers.

Good Male Chorus The best thing musically. In the.production Is the singing of the male'chorus. The songs "go" because they are beautifully staged, but the present company Is not long on voices. The chorus Is a large one and Is always picturesque, Its members i are peacock showgirls, canaries, doves or blackbirds. The girls are pretty, most of them, and they do not hide their prettiness under a bushel or under too much of anything else.

"Love Is a bonfire of Joy, and marriage a fire extinguisher." ls a small body of accidents entirely surrounded by And this salutation, addressed by the bibulous blue Jay usurper to Lady Peacock: "Bootlful' Really, however, Lady Peacock's voice wasn't as bad as all that. FERRIS PLAYERS PRESENT 'THELMA' "Thelma," that Marie Corelll classic over which women have wept and schoolgirls have moaned and which has even held the hearts of men In its grasp, was presented at the Auditorium last night In the typical, elaborate Ferris fashion.

Mr. Ravage, through his local representative. Manager Wyatt -of the Mason opera house, is expected to proceed In the local courts against Herr Fischer today. Earlier stepc would have been taken, had Mr.

Wyatt known that Mr. Fischer expected to use the number, but no announcement was made in advance, and until Miss Tannehlll stepped forward i last night and the orchestra struck iup the famous alr, only those persons audience who had read the fine print on their programs knew what was in store for them.

The play abounds in' comedy, Herb Bell as a German butler and Billy Onslow as an Irish senator keeping the audiences 'ln continuous laughter. Preceding the comedy, Tuttle and May presented a clever sketch entitled "An Unwelcome Visitor." ccc Both Dick Ferris and Miss Florence Stone, who ln private life Is Mrs. Ferris, indignantly deny that there ls any possibility of Miss Stone's appearing under any other management than that of her husband, even for, so short a space of time as one week.

It was said that Miss Stone might accept an offer made her by Sedley Brown to play In eight performances of 'East. under his management; but Miss Stone now denies that she ever had any Idea of deserting the Ferris management, even to oblige the Ferris; stage director.

At the Unique this week there has been a complete' change of program. The bill opens with a musical burlesque, presented by a new company, and the Unique Comedy company, presenting Richard Cummings' latest adaptation, a one-act farce entitled "Bill and Que," follows. Richard Cummings and Willis G. West take the title roles In the farce ln their usual successful manner. Maxle Mitchell, the mutinous ward of the marlnet colonel, Jack Howard and his son, C.

Eddy Murray and George Rehn have the comedy end o- It, the former breaking" in with "Get Off and Walk." Leon LeChartlers caught the popular fancy with his song, "In the Moon." Between acts Lillian Gardner presents illustrated songs and Belle Williams says a few things and tells some fetching stories. The show concludes with new films by the Unique-O-Scope. The burlesque company appeared under disadvantages yesterday.

Ben Lodge, comedian, was unable to get here in time for the opening, but will probably be on hand next week. Lew Dunbar was summoned north Sunday night tby the serious Illness of his father.

fl SEATTLE, Feb. dispatch I from I Neah i Bay says that lat about 11 o'clock last i night the crew of the little six-ton sloop Teckla, lying at anchor here, were startled a feeble hall from a steel lifeboat drawing up slowly In. the light breeze. I the boat were the forms of four men, three living and one dead, survivors of the American ship; Emily Reed, wrecked off the mouth of the Nehalem river on the coast of Oregon, two hundred miles from Neah Bay. The men In the First Mate Fred Zube, Seaman Edwald Ablldstedt, Seaman Arthur Jahunke and ship's cook, name unknown.

The dead man was the cook. The three survivors were ln a pitiful condition. Their tongues were swollen from thirst at first they could scarcely articulate. I All three men were ln a terrible condition from hunger and thirst, for. they had had no food since last Thursday night nor any water since they left.

Kersel and hla wife, with some of the other members of the crew, were station. We Jumped Into the remaining lifeboat and cut the Before we had completed the Job a big sea broke over, the wreck and carried us clear of the Swept Out to Sea "A strong current swept toward the stern of the wreck, where we could see Capt. Kersel and the rest of the ship's company clinging to the roof of the after house. We yelled to them to throw us a line as we went under the stern, and some one threw one, but lt fell short of our boat.

"My arm had been broken when the wreckage from the galley dropped Into us. and there was only one good oar, as best to get baclc to the wreck, but the spare oars washed away. -We did our best to get back the kreck, but the set of the undertow carried us away. "We tried to head for Tallamook light, but we had no compass to steer by. When morning broke I found we were standing far out to sea.

I thought lt best to keep the boat well out, hoping to fall! Into i the I path of steamships.
