THE SOLICITOR'S OPINION.
.«• •• • The parties to the contract In ques
tion have bound themselves, 'without good and
sufficient reasons' ¦ in law, to disregard the
performance of their official duties In -a given
<-la.es of cases. In my opinion, such an agree
ment, which is in effect a conspiracy, to refuse
M s*rve as pilots, must be considered 'to the
hindrance of , commerce,' within the meaning
of section 4419, Hevlsed Statutes, and for this
reason renders the officers who are parties to
the same Justly liable to suspension, or dis
missal by revocation of their license, under
provisions of section 4450, Revised Statutes,
without any further act of ¦misconduct' on
tfcelr part."
Tbe case of the assistant ecgiacen on tbe
In the case of certain licensed pilots belong
ing to the Brotherhood of Pilots at Le Oair
Iowa, who entered Into a written agreement
February 16, l«oa. not to pilot vessels through
the L* Claire, Iowa, rapids, unless unejer cer
tain conditions, the Solicitor of the Treasury
held in that case as fellows:
Sullivan testified befor* the supervising in
•pector that his reason fcr leaving the Klder
«s he did at Portland, was because he learned
that ehe was to be '.aid up for the purpose
cf receiving a new smoke-stack. Superinten
dent Engineer Tape of the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation Company testified that there, was
no intention of laying up the Klder at that
time for that purpose. Another reason given
by the appellant In hi* testimony before the
supervising inspector lor leaving the vessel at
I'ortland was that his place on the Elder vas
to be turned over to one James II. Johnson
Johnson testified that that change was to have,
taken place, at San Francisco, where he await
ed the return of the Elder, and not at I'ort-
Icnd.
The appellant made no excuse whatever In
his letter of resignation for leaving the Klder
Nor did he in his written reply to Captain
Conway when asked to give his reasons there
for. N.
NO EXCUSE GIVEN.

had be<n paid ofT on October 7. But they
Kove no intimation to the master or owners of
the Elder of their Intention to leave the ves
sel prior to the evening of October K. They
were unquestionably eatiirfieM with thoir pay
and service there: and would have undoubtedly
.•-¦t.-Ti-->i article.-, as usual, for the next voyage
of the stoamer (for which freight had beon
received and was on the do<^k ready to tw
placed on board, and tickets for passage ha 1
been sold) but for the appearance of Jlenson
on the- Elder during the day on which they
tendered the resignatlor.B. when he furnishM
the api>f!!ant with the typewriten resignation
lor his signature.. All of this savored very
strongly of conspiracy on their part. No
other qualified licensed marine «B£ineera
could be procured at Portland at that time
and this was unque-stlonably Treil known tj
there. As a matter of fact, the ship had to
remain at the wharf there for more than a
month, until licensed engineers could be pro
cured" for her, as they were, from the East
ern States.

Should an effort be made at the meeting
of the Commissioners to-day to execute
the programme the session may become
decidedly interesting. When the plan to
make Davis the attorney was devised it
was supposed that the Senate would con
sider and confirm the appointments of
Kirkpatrlck and Mackenzie before the In
auguration of Dr. Pardee, but th© Sena
tcrs saw no good reason, for extreme
haste In the premises and therefore took
the subject under advisement. It i3 pre
dicted that the Commissioners will fol
low the example of the Senat» and pro
ceed with caution. "¦',''--
Ftirmer Governor -James H. Bu<Sd on
January I, 1S3J>, was elected to the offlco
of attorney of the State Board of Har
bor Commissioners. San Francisco. The
salary attached to the office is J2W0 per
annum. The term ot four years, for
which he was chosen, expired on the 1st
day of this month. Shortly after Dr.
Pardee was nominated for Governor by
the Republican State Convention a pro
gramme was made at Sacramento provid
ing that W. H. Davia, who was then the
executive secretary in the Governor'* of
fice, should be elected by Harbor Corflmls- j
sionera Kilburn, Klrkpatrick and Mac
kenzie to succeed Budd aa attorney or tho
board. ¦.:; \
The Commissioners at the last meeting
of the board did not execute the pro
gramme. It was deemed prudent to defer
action until to-day. Affairs at Sacra
mento have since taken such shape that
a further postponement la highly prob
able. It is surmised In political circles
that Commissioner Kilburn is not in sym
pathy with the purpose of the programme.
Moreover, it is conjectured that Commis
sioners Kirkpa trick and Mackenzie will
not desire to take an active part in tho
distribution of harbor patronage while
the subject of their own confirmation as
Commissioners is pending in the Senate.

K:der, is similar to that of the Le Clalr pilots;
true, the engineers did not sign an agreement
among themselves not to do certain things for
which they were licensed, as did the pilots,
but their separate and simultaneous resigna
tions. «a.ch the duplicate of the other, which
were handed to the superintendent of the Ore
£on Railroad and Navigation. Company, were,
under the circumstances, in my Judgment, in
effect a conspiracy to tie up the Elder, as
they did for more than a month to the '•hind
rance of commerce," thereby entailing a great
loss to her owners.
JUDGMENT OF GUILTY.
Therefore. I must hold that the conduct of
the appellant. Sullivan. In leaving the Elder,
as he did. was a clear violation of section
444T*. R?vised Statutes United States. •
The penalty imposed by the local board In
the case of Sullivan, in the revocation of his
license-, which had about four years to run
was excessive, but that board had no author
ity, for a violation of section 4449, Revised
Statutes United States, to impose a less pen
3.1 ty.
Therefore. I will nidify the eame to a sus
pension of Sullivan's license to four months
from and after October 11, l»02- and It Is so
ordered.
As the case of the aforesaid C. M. Me-
Iver.zie. who appealed to the supervising in
spector from the- decision of the local board,
which revoked his license as assistant engineer
on October 11, 1WA and his case beinf prac
tically Identical throughout with that of Sul
1 v L * n> .!. hl . s 1 *. UI modi 'y the findings of
the said local board, in the case of said Me-
Kenzle. to the extent of a. suspension of his
license, as assistant engineer, for four months
from and after October 11. 1902; and. it Is eo
ordered.
STILL IN SUSPENSE.
The matter of E. B. Huston, on anneal
the licensed third assistant engineer of
the Elder, who resigned with the oth
er assistant engineers of that vessel
required different consideration by this
court as his license was revoked by the
local board for refusing to b« sworn and testify
In his own case. Therefore, his case was not
tried by the lower court on its merits
My decision in his case, together with "the
cases of the three assistant engineers of the
Columbia, who refused to testify In the lower
court and came to me on appeal, and whose
L'SS?"*?, er ? r ? voke<1 u "der authority of section
4150. United States Revved Statutes, will be
announced In due course

Captain Harry Johnson, in Henry Peterson's
launch Sybil, yesterday saved the schooner S.
Dan'elson from destruction on the rocks at
Kort Point. The sohoon«=r was going out on
the ebb tide. The wind failed and the current
carried her stern on close to the rocks to the
east of the fort. The schooner's anchor was
let go. but even ¦nilh that «hr> was drirting
on the rocks and would without doubt have
I* en wrecked had not the Sybil appeared on
the»peen<\ The Sybil has bnen engaged in tow
ir.g the moving target for the big gun practice
and was on her way to pick up the target
when sh» sighted the Danielfon. A. line was
passed aboard th'e schooner and the launch
towed her away from the dangerous rocks
ar-i took her well out in the channel where
i-he found a favoring breeze. The Sybil's crew
will claim Ealvage from the owners of tha
schooner.

The steamship Pomona ran into Powell
street wfcar,f and did considerable dam
age. The ferry steamer Oakland had a
narrow escape from collision with two
Ftern wheelers and the business of the
harbor generally was conducted under dif
ficulties.
The fog tangled up traffic all over the
harbor and there were a number of nar
row escapes from collision. The ferry
boats ran on an hourly schedule until
afternoon.
Two of the Vellore's plates were cracked
and ruined, two x others were bent and
about three feet of bulwarks were carried
away. The Coquille River's bow was
dinged in and whoever proves responsible
for the disaster will have to foot a fairly
substantial bill of damages.

thousand dollars' worth of the Vellore's
plates.
.The Vellore was lj-ins at Howard-street
¦wharf, moored, contrary to the regula
tions of the harbor, with some forty feet
of her stern projecting beyond the end of
the wharf. The fog- was at its thickest.
The Coquille River, coming from Main
Etreet and bound for Mission-street wharf,
held a course close In to the ends of the
wharves and when she reached Howard
street her bow found the stern of the
Vellore blocking the way. The steam
schooner was under slow headway, but
was moving fast enough to do consider
able damage. ' •
