Captains Ha«kell a-d Turne to Be
Arrested for Breaking the Quar
antine Laws
The controversy over the possession of
the sloop-of-war Marion has at last been
settled. According to a dispatch re
ceived by General Barrett tbe vessel
has been assigned to San Francisco,
and will be brought here from the navy
yard in the near future. San Diego
wanted the Marion very much, but the
cost of her maintenance and thy further
lact that every tint she would require
docking would entail her being sent here
turned the scales against the southern
port. The chances are that tbe gun.
Pima will be fitted with rapid-lira euns
nnd sent to San ego, insiead of the *
Marion.
The Marion, owing to the efforts of j
/C. S. Grant Jr., was originally intended
-~J for San Diego, and needless to say the
« n linkers of the Naval Battalion here are
i.jj'jre than tie i. bled with the change.
V General Barrett, Lieutenant Hngbes and
Captain Turner of the I* i itai ion will go to
Mare Island to-Oay to arrange for the
transfer of the vessel.

TOO MANY
FINES FOR
THE BOYS
District Messengers Win a
Strike in Short
Order.
MANAGER CORCORAN removed.
An Open .Revolt Against His
Rigid Methods of Disci
pline.
SMALL RIOT 05 SITTER STREET.
One Boy Who Would Not Join the
Strike Attacked by an Angry
Crowd.
"Oh, you scab!" "Dats de mug!"
"Soak 'im !"
The latter suggestion was promptly
acted upon, and a crowd of messenger
boys made a rush at one of their number.
He was being "soaked" all right enough
•na would have been pitched downstairs
into a basement in another minute had
not a policeman come to his aid and scat
tered his assailants.
The incipient riot occurred at the cor
ner f Sutter and Kearny streets, shortly
after noon yesterday. It was the result of
a strike of 150 boys in the San Francisco
District Messenger service. Tbe one boy
who did not join the strike was Frank K.
Polk, and when he left the office at 'Art
Sutter street on an errand he was set upon
by a howling mob of juveniles and se
verely beaten before the police could res
cue him.
The strike was short-lived nnd ended in
a complete victory for the strikers in little
mote than an boar after ft begun. The
trouble was due to Manager John Corcoran
of the Suiter-street office, and it has been
brewing for some time.
"It's dis way," said Sergeant "Kid"
.Lewis, the spokesman of the boys, yester
day. "Di- here Corcoran is no good. He's
always jumpin' on de boys an' linin' us
fer nothin' at ail. W'y, if we comes into de
oiuce wit our coats unbuttoned, Corcoran
hues us a quarter. Bern" five minutes late
means another quarter or a hall, just as
he happens to fee!, an' at do end uv de

work. One kid he soaked a half 'cause ho
| couldn't go from 200 butter street to 912
Market in tree minutes.
"Well, Corcoran'* work got so raw wo
couldn't Stan' f.-r it enny longer, so we
got all de kids in de service ter stan' in
wit us and we struct at noon to-day. All

WO I'ost comes down ter our tflice at 200

De only boy wot Wouldn't stan' in wit
us wis dis mug Folk, who worked from
New York an' pa bed a wheelbarrow all
de way. Purty soon after be refused to
walk out wit us he was sent out wit a
message, an' say, we didn't do a ting to
him. Wo nailed 'im at de corner, an'
on'y fur de cop J guesi we'd a killed 'im.
I guess he'a rather be in Cheyenne wid
his wheelbarrow dan go up against dis
gang attain."
"Has the strike ended yet?"'
"Eay. We won in a walk. W'en de
g.in^s from de other offices got here we
sent word to Superintendent Ackerman
an' told 'im he'd have to tire Corcoran be
fore we'd go Lack io work. Ackerman
kicked at first, but we bad de kids irom de
other companies an' all do newsboys
standiti' in wit us, so be couldn'i belp
bisself, an' a little alter 1 o'clock he tol'
Corcoran to strap on his skates an' git an'
I din' come back so be good boys."
elt, an' a little alter 1 o'clock be top
soran to strap on bis skates an' git an'
is ter come back au' be good boys."
"Was Coicoran's harshness your only
grievance?"
"Well, we got another kick, but I don't
see how we can help ourse.v-'S just yet.
You see all ac messenger companies keep
a black list, and when a kid's fired from
one It's all day with bim, fer none oo de
oder companies will hire him. Mebby
some day we can make 'em stop de black
list, but we ain't ready to make a tight on
it yet."
it was well along in the afternoon be
fore the excitement died away in the
vicinity ot the messenger office at 200 Sut
ler street and the sympathizers of the
boys scattered. During the strike the
messengers were augmented by a large
number of boys who had previously been
in the service, and these latter were most
active in their efforts to help along the
strikers. Manager Corcoran was bom
barded with volleys ol groans, hisses and
catcalls, and when be finally left tbe
office he was followed some distance by a
jeering crowd.
Superintendent Ackerman was at first
inclined to transfer Corcoran to another
office, as the latter has proved a most ef
ficient manager, but when it was .shown
that all th boys in tbe service were in re
bellion it was deemed advisable to remove
the manager from the control of tbe
messengers.
Ex-Manager Corcoran denies in toto all
charges of undue harshne-s. He Eays
that he simply tried to maintain disci
pline in the interests of the company.

main with the company, arrived two

stated his reasons for not joining the
strike in a straightforward manner.
"1 had no grievance against Corcoran,"
said he, "and therefore I would not at
tempt to force him out of his job. He
has treated me all right since I have beer,
in the service. Besides I don't purpose
to have anybody dictate to me what 1
shall do. The boys asked me to join the
strike and I refused. Then they besran to
threaten me, and when I left the office a
crowd attacked me, but I would not join
them."

FOR AN ARTISTS CLUB.
Happy Circle of Painters Feasts
at the Bohemian
Club.
Burgundy and Champagne Stimulated
the Taney of the Owls'
Children.
Fourteen artists in a circle clasped
hands at the Bohemian Club last evening.
They had a sumptuous feast at »he round
table ami under the genial influences of
Burgundy and champagne talked fluently
and pledged the health of many living
and paid a tribute to the memory of not a
few departed painters of renown. The
happiest feeling imaginable was the result
of the recent exhibition of pictures at the
club.
In proposing a toast to tho memory of
: Jules Tavernier, C. D. Robinson made
| quite a little speech. In whic i he re
marked that Tavernier dead was greater
I than seven-tenths of tbe hying artists and
: the sentiment was instantly applauded.
H. S. Bloomer, the presiding genius of
I the banquet, had so much talking talent
ready for every occasion tbat he found
some difficuliy in according to each in
! dividual taikfr the right of free ana un
■ irarameled speech.
Initial measures were taken to orean'z.
! a block of artists within the club to be
known as the League of Bohemian Club
j Artists, or by some name of that signifi
cance. The idea of concerted action for
exhibiting a block of pictures in New
Yort or elsewhere seemed to catch the
j fancy of the banqueting painters. It was
I voted unanimously to have another din
! ner at the club a month hence for tbe
purpose of discussing the subject of or
| ganization.
The artists attending the function last
| evening were: H. R. Bloomer, Charles
Rot in«on, Gordon Ross, H. S. Fonda,
Solly Walter, red Yates, Charles E. Jud
son. L. P. Latimer, A. F. Mathews, Joseph
D. Strong, John A. Stanton, H. J. Bremr,
Atncdee Joullin and Chris Jorgensen.
The leathern medal of the exhibition
was worn by C. D Robinson. The deco
ration Was designed and executed by Mr.
Breuer, ana bears this inscription : "To
Our Good Owl, C. D. Robinson, for Valor
and Circumlocution. May IDs Shadow
Never Grow Less." Ashieidon the breast
of the owl bears the words. "My Exhibi
tion." There are two strings to the medal.

WOLLWEBBER
IN DISGRACE
The California-Street Sta
tion Sergeant Has Been
Changed.
He Is Sent Out to the "Fos-
District" for Being:
Negligent.
Failed to Catch Three of His Men
Who Indulged in a Game
of "Draw."
At the last meeting of the Police Com
missioners it was decided to transfer Ser
geant WoUwebber of the California-street
Station to the O'Farrell-street Station.
Sergeant Christiansen, who has been do
ing duty in the 'ion district," was or
dered to report at the California-street
Station. Just why the change was made
the Commissioners refuse to state, except
to say that it was for the "good of the
department."
Notwithstanding their reticence it was
learned that their object in changing the
men was due to the "little" poker game
which Captain Wiitman discussed about
a w»ek ago. Tnree of vVollwebner'a men
named Hill, Hutchings and Hall, were
caucht in ti.e act of playing the festive
game in a saloon on North Beach.
It is claimed that the men were in the
habit of visiting the place nightly and en-
Raging in a game o! draw. Wollwebber
failed to catch them and when the facts
were reported to Captain Wittman he de
tailed Serjeant Cook to make a quiet in
vestigation. Unfortunately for Wollweb
ber, Cook, the first ni-ht tie starte I out,
discovered the men engagea in their fes
tive pastime.
They were taken before the Captain and
suspended, pending an investigation by
the Police Commissioners. Last Wednes
day night their cases were to have been
taken up. but at their request a continu
ance was granted io a we*it. After they
bad left tue Commissioners listened to an
informal discussion of the complaint
against them.
It was -hown that Wollwebber bad been
negligent in not 'getting on" to the men,
as it was claimed that they had been in
the habit of visiting the sa oon almost
nightly and engaging in their favor,
pastime.
After a short discussion it was decided
to transfer Wollwebber to the "fog dis
trict" for tbe "betterment of the de
partment."
Yesterday the change took place, Woll
webber going to the O'Farrell-street sta
ion and Christiansen taking bis place at
the California-street station.
Owing to the cases of property-owners
on St. Mary and Quinoy streets who re
fuse to comply with the ordinance relating
to ten ling remises for immoral purposes,
Sergeant Blank has taken Sergeant Mar
tin's place in the tenderloin district to en
able the latter t> prosecute them.
DESERTED BY HIS WIFE.
Henry Holtz, a 'rewer, Wants Posses
sion of His Two Children.
Henry Holts, a brewer, who was de
serted by his wife, reported at police
headquarters yesterday that he had dis
covered her and their two children at 210
Turk street.
He went there and his wife opened the
door. The children ran toward him, call
ing out "Papa, papa," and bis wife shut
the door in his face and refused to open it
again.

home at 294 Tehama street during his ab

He was advised to lay his case before

of Children.
HAIRS IN THE WOUND.
Flimsy Treatment Given at the
City and County Hos
pital.
A Sick and Injured Woman Turned
Out of the Institution at
Night.
Nellie Rodgers was found by the police
early yesterday morning at Fifteenth and
Dolores streets, apparently intoxicated,
and suffeiing from a dangerous-looking
scalp wound. She was taken to the City
and County Hospital for treatment. There
a suture was put in the wound and the
woman was bundled into the patrol
wagon and rattled over the cobbles to the
City Prison, wnere a charge of drunken
ness was 10 be placed against her.
Sergeant Brown, who was iv charge of
the prison, refused to accept her as a pris
oner, claiming that if she was drunk she
was also suffering from an illness, and or
dered tbat sue be taken to the Receiving
Hospital.
Th*» rule in the patrol-wagon had
shaken the bandages and dressing from
the wound, and the cut was bleeding
afresh when the woman was taken into
the operating-room of the hospital. The
physician who- bad performed the opera
tion at the C ty and County Hospital had
made a very poor excuse ior dressing the
wound. In tying the suture the pbysi
cian had fastened a clump of knotted hair
The fac-simile /^^ +__Z?~ ** on ever 7 wrapper

in with the wound and left the gash
gaping almost as wide open as if no at
tempt had been made to dress the injury.
Dr. Fiizgibbon, who was on watch at
the Receiving Hospital, was obliged tore
dress the wound. He said the woman was
suffering more from epilepsy than from
alcoholism, and when she was taken into
the operating-room she was suffering
from slight convulsions.
Dr. Fitzgibbon would say nothing about
the treatment she should have nail at
the City and County Hospital, but the at
taches of the Receiving Hospital thought
it stranee that the woman should have
been turned away from the big institution
in the middle of tbe night suffering as
she was and wiih such a flimsy excuse.
DISCUSSING THE BIBLE.
Annual Session of the Pacific Coast Bl-
!>:<• Conference Association.
The first annual conference of the Pa
cific Coast liible Conference Association
opened in the First Baptist Church, EJdy
street, Tuesday evenine. While the se
vere rainstorm detracted somewhat from
the attendance great interest was mani
fested by those who were present.
The opening address was made by the
Rev. J. K. Knodcii, who spoke on the
"Seven Pillars of Wisdom." • He was fol
lowed by the Rev. W. C. Stevens in an ad
dress on "The Personal Comforter," which
was listened to with marked attention.
The conference was reopened yesterday
morning with devotional exercises led by
Rev. C. C. Hcrriott. The Rev. J. C. Fra
zer then spoke on "The Holy Spirit in the
Ministry of the Word." The speaker ad
dressed the audience entirely without
notes, and his frequent quotations from
the Bible showed great familiarity with
the Word. He insisted on the verbal in
spiration of tha Word and the necessity of
the Holy Ghost dwelling in the heart and
mind of the ministry of the Word In order
to give the right interpretation in the use
ol the Scriptures. He was followed by the
Rev. Oliver C. Miller of the Church of the
Holy Spirit, who took tor his subject "The
Holy Spirit's Teaching in the Worship of
Giving." He said in part:
"Tne church in a great measure has su
perseded the Holy Spirit, who is the execu
tive of the Goabead, in making her plana
for work, hence ber weakness. She is a
Samson shorn of his strength.
"The church when poor and despised
was the embodiment of powers, but since
she has grown wealthy and influential her
power has decreased proportionately.
God commands us i<* bring an offering
whiii we come before him, but the church
has in a great measure divorced the offer
in of our substance from worship. T is
has given rise to all kinds of untcriptural
method- for obt.iinine funds.
"The words of our Lord to his stewards
are 'occupy,' not 'possess.' till I come.
Man cannot witness for Jesus when he
is grasping for worldly gains. If
God calls a minister to give up the idea of
working for a stated salary and tru t him
lor his support he must obey. When
Christ sent out his disciples without scrip
or purs*, he asked them on their return,
'Lacked ye anything?' The answer was
'No; even the devils were subject unto
us. : *'
Other addresses were made by W. W.
Moses, Rev. H. N. Bevier, Rev. A. J.
Fr st, D.D.. and Evangelist Henry A.
Ironsides. The conlerence will be con
tinued to-day and to-morrow.

JUMPED A MINE.
Trial of Lincoln Itrodt for Swearing
Falsely to a Land Claim.
Lincoln Brodt was placed on trial in the
United States District Court yesterday for
perjury, alleged to have been committed
by i* i in when he swore to a claim for a
United States patent for a tract of land in
Butte County, on which the Al Xl old
mine is situated. The indictment charged
him with having sworn that the land was
more valuable for timber than for miner
als or anything else.
It is alleged that at tbe time Brodt went
on the land the mine was there in full op
eration, and that the noise of the stanii
mill could be heard for a mile or two all
over the neighborhood. When the Reg
ister of the Land Office at Marysville
found what had been done he notified the
Secretary of the Interior and the patent
to Brodt was canceled.
The defense will claim that Brodt be
lieved the mine to be on the adjoining
section and that he had been so iniormed
by an ex-County Surveyor named N. In
slow, also under indictment for the same
offense. It is In favor of the defendant
that tbe mine is situated close to the di
viding line of the section taken up by him
ana t:ie adjoining one.
The trial will be resumed this morning.
"Music and It* Revelations."
Miss Ray Frank, the well-known lecturer on
social and literary topic, will deliver a lecture

tions," at the residence of Mrs. Leon bloss,
1510 Van Ness avenue. This is one of v
course to be delivered by Miss Frank.

SUGAR BEETS
The King Ranch Purchased
by the Spreckels
Sugar Company.
A Large Section of Monterey
County to Be Put Under
Cultivation.
Half of 12,000 Acres of Land Will
Be Planted With Sugar Beets
This Season.
The King ranch in Monterey county has
been purchased by the SurecKels Sugar I
Company. The negotiations were com- I
pleted yesterday and it is the intention of I
the purchasers to devote as much of th.
newly acquired property as is favorable
to the cultivation of sugar beets. The
ranch comprises about 1200 acres and a
portion of it is laid out in town lots in
Kings City. It was purchased from C. H.
King, an Oakland capitalist, and it is said
the purchase price was in the neighbor
hood of $300,000.
The beets grown on the ranch will be
sent to the sugar-refinery at Salinas. The
Southern Pacific Railroad passes through
the ranch and runs direct to the refinery,
making a railway haul of about forty-five
miles to take the products of the ranch to
the point of consumption. Two irrigation
ditcues run through the property, one
from the Salinas River and one from the
San Lorenzo River.
The Spreckels Sugar Company will
commence ahout March 1 to prepare land
for the seed of the sugar-beet, and a big
force of men will be employed Ib the worK
of cultivation. It is proposed to plant
about 6000 acres of the ranch this season
la beets, and much of the remainder of the
lard will he sowed with prsin.
