Brigadier General Thomas F. Barr is
in town awaiting the arrival of his
daughter, Mrs. Frank Tompkins, wha
will arrive here on the Sheridan, which
is «Jui* to-morrow morning.
Following the exercises came a lot
of very lively and interesting maneu
vers, the morning's session winding up
with a full review of the cavalry
troops. This will be the last drill in
which Major Bigelow will participate,
as he goes to Ord Barracks early next
wefk.
Captain Cornish, who will take com
mand of the troops, intends to give an
exhibition drill every Wednesday till
further notice. . - .
In the meantime Lieutenant Rubot
tom with half of Troop K made a
quiet entrance through the trees until
he got to McDowell avenue, and then
rushing forward his troops under full
gallop, he dashed along to Robhill
quarry, where he was able to get a
full description of the position of the
defending troop's army.
He at once retraced his steps and
under full gallop, hidden by trees, he
managed to seek the outer gates of the
post without having been even seen,
much less intercepted, and from this
successful detour he was enabled to re
port to the attacking army the exact
position of the defenders. Captain
Nance, however, was worsted in his
meeting with Captain Christian'*
forces. Inasmuch, however, as the po
sition of the enemy had .been gained
by Lieutenant Rubo'ttom, Major Bige
tow decided that the attacking forces
were the victors.

I and L under command of Captain
Christian, while the reconnaissance was
to be made by the brown troops, K and
M, under command of Captain Nance.
Captain Nance entered Broadway en
trance with Troop M and one-half of
K immediately engaged the defending
troops, which were stationed on Pre
sidio Golf Club Heights, in action. The
fight was fast and furious. The at
tacking party, with sabers drawn, ac
companied by shouts and yells, dashed
up the incline and came to a hand and
hand encounter with the defending
forces.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The res

Detective Cody was detailed on the
case, but failed to find foundation for
such a charge as Price would pre
fer. The murder theory is utterly dis
credited by the police.
Against Price's statement, is a state
ment made by Lloyd to Dr. Kucich. a
surgeon at the Emergency Hospital on
the morning of the accident, a few
hours prior to Lloyd's death. Lloyd
stated at that time to the doctor that
he was sitting on the window sill in
the hall of the building and must have
been in a trance, lost his balance and
fallen headlong to the next building
below.
This remarkable statement was
based merely on conjecture. Price im
plicates a prominent lawyer residing
in the Mission, but has no proof to
back his statement. Price 6ays that
Lloyd told him he expected to have
trouble with the man who had pur
chased a clock from him and refused
to pay for it. The man who purchased
the clock was a business man having
an office in the Donohue building.
Price alleges that Lloyd went to the
sixth floor of the Donohue building on
Sunday night to get a payment on the
clock. He says that Lloyd must have
then got into an altercation with the
man and been thrown from the win
dow.
. James Price, manager of the C. F.
Adams Company of 31 S Mason street,
made the statement to the Coroner
and police yesterday that he believed
John J. Lloyd, the solicitor who fell
from a window in the Donohue build
ing last Sunday night, had been mur
dered.

GROUNDLESS MURDER SCARE
STARTED BY STORE MANAGER
Jones was Interrupted by Galnea of
Tennessee, who asked if it were not a
fact that ex-Secretary of "War Root
was the attorney for the railroad com
pany to be benefited by the guarantee.
"It did not," replied Jones, "concern
him who was the attorney, but it was
a fact that the Philippine Commission
was being urged to grant railroad
franchises to English and Belgian cap
italists without the guarantee."
At 5:30 p. m. the House adjourned.
¦ VCA SHINGTON, April 13.— The Sen
ate to-day began consideration of the
bill providing for the government of
the Panama canal zone. The greater
part of the day was occupied by Mor
gan in support of amendments offered
by himself. None of them were ac
cepted, and the reading of the bill was
nearly half-completed. ; Morgan at
tacked the new Panama Canal Com
pany and contended that the United
States should proceed to- carry into, ef
fect the provisions of the treaty with
Panama regardless of the demands of
that company. As the reading of the
bill proceeded Morgan suggested vari
ous amendments, but none of them
were accepted.
At 4 o'clock, when the reading of the
bill had been about half completed, it
was laid asidt?. and after passing 219
pension bills the Senate, at 5 p. nx, ad
journed.
Under a special rule the House to
day devoted itself- to the consideration
of a bill amending the law relating to
the Philippine Islands. The provision
in reference to the granting of railroad
franchises and the guaranteeing of 5
per cent on the cash capital actually
invested in such railroads was opposed
by Jones of Virginia, who alleged that
British and Belgian capitalists were
ready to build the roads without such
guarantee.
Jones in opposing certain features of
the bill said that if it was passed as
now drawn it would increase the bond
ed indebtedness of the Philippines by
$6,000,000, making a total of $27,000,000.
He said that as the result of the fall
ing off in the customs receipts of the
islands the people were less able to-day
to incur such indebtedness than they
were a year ago. He denied, as Cooper
claimed, that the only way to secure
prosperity in the Philippines was to
guarantee the interest on capital in
vested in railroads there, and said that
th^e bill was not one prepared by the
committee, but. was the bill of the War
Department sent to Congress to be re
ported.- He would rather, he said. see.
the railroads in the Philippines built
by British than by American capital if
the Filipinos were to guarantee the in
terest. ¦ ?
Attorney PUlslmry Claims'
Client Did Xo Wrong, but
Erred Through Negligence
» -—
The trial of Lieutenant Frederick B.
Niclson, who is charged with dupli
cating his ;>ay accounts, was concluded
yesterday before the court-martial at
the Presidio. The arguments and evi
dence are now before the court, and it
rc&s with that body to hand in its
verdict when it meets again on Friday
jn»rning at 10 o'clock.
The first witness called when the
court convened yesterday at 2 o'clock
¦was Nathan Boas, who testified again
relative to the manner in which he fcd
vanctd money on Lieutenant Neilson's
pay accounts for the month of May,
find how Noilson had assigned the a.c
coubts to him. He also stated tlttit
Nt'ilpuii had given him a note for the
amount of $146 60. which he had prom
ised t<» pay to him or remit to him
tram Manila on or before June 25. 1903.
N*r» money had been forthcoming at
that time from Neilson, so Boas stated
that he had sent the pay account to
the paymaster at Manila some time
etrty in July. The paymaster had re
turned the account, with the statement
"that there must be some mistake in
the matter." In November Neilson's
brother. \V. B. Neilson of Philadelphia,
had remitted the amount of the ac
count to Boas, and that squared the
matter so far as Boas was concerned.
Thr next witness called was William
H. Comcgys. paymaster of the Depart
ment of California, who gave evidence
Jn a general way as to the methods of
doing business in the paymaster's de
partment.
In ih^ meantime answers to the in
terrogatories which had been sent to
W. D. Neilson in Philadelphia were
read. They were simply documents
stating that the letters which Lieuten
p.nt Neilson had written to his brother
on June 11. l?03. while in the Philip
pines, requesting him to pay the
amount due Boas, had never reached
him. The documents farther conveyed
the information that had the letters
reached him he would have paid the
B.CC0U&t at once.
PILLSBUKY IX)R DEFENSE.
H. D. Pillsbury. for the defense,
etatcd that all the trouble was due to
negligence: in fact, he summed up his
line of defense for the accused by stat
ing that the position the accused was
placed in was entirely due to lack of
precaution. He said that the pay ac
cuunt which* was made over to Boas
vas= run. a bor.a fide account. Boas
haa received a note for the amount
of the loan, and he simply held his al
leged pay account over Neilson's head
as a Hub to make him pay the note.
Ncilson, he said, had in no way hy
pothecated the pay account in the
sor.se of the word which was used in
the charge against him. The accused
has already been under arrest thre* 1
ard a half months. He was guilty cf
PO crime and had made no attempt to
defraud the Government. He was sim
r>!y guilty cf bad judgment and a lack
of business methods.
Attorney Pillsbury then referred at
length to the fine character that his
rlicnt had always borne, not only in
the army, but in his previous career.
lip dwelt at great length upon the high
standing of the different officers who
had testiTi^d regarding that character.
He eurr.med up the whole argument
by stating that it was neglect and ac
cident, and he entreated the court to
«-<>nsid<?r the previous fine record of
the accused when they were delivering
sentence.
Captain Clarence E. Dentler. judge
advocate of the court, summed up the
case briefly and concisely. He said in
part:
L.'»utrnant Neilson on April 2S. 1903. assipned
Vie May «c<-ount to J. Boas and promised tf>
jay tfc<? tamr en or before June 25. He <1I<J
rrt <io thl*. but duplicated ht* pay account
nr.fi <Jr*vr the ume for that month in the Phil-
Irpin^s. Accus-ed hivcrelt etateg that he aE-
Ficn«-d fcin pay account and that he also gave
tbc morey- lender a. note to cover the amount.
CLAIM AGAINST USTTED STATES.
Jur.t- 23. 1903. at th* account had not been
*'iuarf<l by Neltson. it became a claim against
th* L'nu'd State*. Boas had waited until
July and then wrote to the paymaster gen
eral in Manila, but was advised that taere
v a mistake. Boar then prc-seed his claim
It i> true the cialm has since been paid by
Neiltm's brother, but that does not alter the
fact that duplicate account* were drawn, and
the accused muft have known that in view oi
these fact!" he would be dishonored ln the
eyet of his brother officer* and the world.
The case was then submitted to the
court, which immediately adjourned to
meet on Friday morning at 10 o'clock,
•when a decision will be handed down.
Lieutenant Neilson is now under ar
rest in the post, his wife and child be
ing with him.

CBARLKS H. SPEAR. President
Board of State Harbor Commissioners.
The Board of State Harbor Com
missioners has transmitted | to the
Chamber of Commerce and Merchants'
Association of San Francisco some in
teresting data relative to the manage
ment of water front affairs. Accom
panying the report is this letter from
Charles H. Spear, president of the
Harbor Commission:
The rule was established to prevent
collisions. It is reported that ferry
boat captains are inclined to ignore
the regulation.
A delegation from the Board of
Trade waited on the commission yes
terday with a view of expediting the
work of building a stairway from the
grand nave to the Board of Trade ex
hibit rooms. It was decided to ad
vertise for bids according to plans pre
pared by Architect Wright and ap
proved by the commission. It is ex
pected that the new stairway will be
finished before the Knights Templar
from the East arrive in San Fran
cisco.
The of $62,616 31 in revenue
from dockage tolls, wharfage and Belt
Railroad is significant. Chief-AVharf
inger R. J. Welch is firm in the en
forcement of rules relating to wharf
age and much of the increase is due
to his diligence. At a meeting of the
Harbor Commissioners yesterday tho
secretary was directed to notify trans
portation companies and other owners
of steam craft that the following rule
of the board must be respected:
"Vessels propelled by steam must not
run inside of a line five hundred feet
distant from and parallel to a line
drawn through the outer ends of the
piers."
thJnrnhf/m L % conf ronted more and more with
increa^nl fr° P rov ' dln B berth room for th»»
™""'^ of shore, coastwise and bay and
business. In this connection it may be
«?fpn d (^, M c: '- nortun « > t"ne to direct your
attention to the proposed bond issue of $2,000,
t 'i, W V U te to the people
nlJ?* general election in Xovember next
This amount will enable the board, to ex-
IV*^,, ¦ Beowal1 rr °m Its present terminus
S,,^ 1 ?^" to conne « with the section
P C m!T* bullt ncrth fron> Channel street, and
to bulid some ten new modern wharves
As the payments for both interest and sink
ing fund of these bonds are to-be met from
the ordinary revenues of the board, their is
suance will not b* a burden In any way to
the people of the State, and should be cham-
F'oned esj^oially by all who are interested
hinni* lmri ™.y e , ment an «l enlargement of the
shipping facilities of the port of San Francisco
BEIU'H JIOOM XEEDED
The chief engineer has been directed to pre
pay plan? and fpeciflcations for four new
Pljw to be built along the line of the seawall
ntJ*T under construction. These wharves will
each be 11H) feet in width by }<0O feet in length,'
and will be the embodiment of all that is best,
most modern and permanent in wharf structure.
The board hopes to e-ee its way clear to
award the contract for one of these piers.
The board has in contemplation the paving
with basalt blocks of that portion of East street
from near North Voint street to the west line
of Fowell street, a distance of about 14DO feet,
the same to be paved for a width of 37 feet.
This is a much-needed Improvement and will
greatly accommodate that rapidly growing
manufacturing nnd warehouse district, and the
con will be about $15,0C0.

had a large amount of funds available for the
