in an Attack on Stotenburg's Hill
Clever Maneuvers by Uncle Sam's Forces Furnish Dramatic Scene

PICTTRE TAKEV TESTERDAT DCKIKG THE MANEUVERS AT THE PHESIDIO. THE UPPER PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS A DETACH
MEXT OF SKIRMISHERS MAKING A.V ATTACK AND THE LOWER A GROUP READY TO FIRE CPON AJf IMAGINARY ENEMY.
The maneuvers at the Presidio yes
terday were made very realistic when
the attacking national guardsmen, un
der command of Colonel Ses'mour, found
themselves suddenly Confronted by a
detachment of the regulars on the rug
ged slopes of Stotsenburg hill.
The state troops thought they were
attacking a supposed defense and were
rushing up the hill when they found
themselves confronted by an enemy
worthy of their steeL.r ," r > ;
The problem of yesterday was a sur
prise attack by the state troops on
Stotsenburg heights. It was Inaugur
ated by Colonel Seymour with the Sec
ond regiment. His advance guard,
occupying Cemetery ridge, discovered
a detachment of regulars, dimly visible
through the fog. In a strong position
near McDowell avenue. Sending
couriers back at a gallop to Colonel
Seymour, Captain Lee, commanding the
advance guard, held the regulars at
bay while Colonel Seymour was making
his dispositions for attack.
Colonel Seymour then called his offi
cers together and ordered a secondary
frontal attack on the heights, and
throwing one company to his left, for
a. feint on the right of the regulars'
DISABLED PROPELLER
CAUSES A COLLISION
Captain Johnson Tells Why
His Vessel Struck the
Steamer Topeka
Olof Johnson, master of the steamer
Coronado, filed a report yesterday with
United States Local Inspectors Bolles
&nd Bulger concerning the collision re
cently between that vessel and the
steamship City of Topeka, In which the
Topeka waa damaged to the extent of
$1,500. The report declares that on
Jane 28, while the Coronado was com
ing down the Chehalis river, in Wash
ington, It struck a snag and bent the
blades of Its propeller. The Coronado
arrived in Ean Francisco bay July 1,
and while attempting to enter its berth
at Long wharf, Oakland, was carried
by the current, owing to its disabled
condition, against the Topeka, which
\u25a0was moored In a berth adjoining that
assigned to the Coron&do.
The certificate of the steamship Ne
braska, plying between Sallna Cruz and
Honolulu, expired on June 9, and It
will be necessary for the vessel to be
supplied with a new certificate of in
spection before It can leave Honolulu,
to which port It la now under way.
United States Supervising Inspector
John Bermlngham has wired to the de
partment at Washington for Instruc
tions. There being no local Inspectors
of hulls and boilers stationed at Hono
lulu it is expected that United States
Local Inspectors .Bolles and Bulger will
be ordered to proceed to that port by
the Alameds, which will sail on July 25.
ANOTHER LARGE RETAIL
STORE TAKES BIG LEASE
S. N. Wood & Co. Will Occupy Part
of the Immense Pacific
Building
When S. N. Wood & Co. reopen
their larger store down town. It will
not be in the Flood building, where it
was before the fire, but In the largest
concrete building on the coast, the Pa
cific, at Fourth and Market streets.
The entire ground and mezzanine floors
were leased yesterday by the clothing
house from Madison & Burke. In all
24.000 feet of floor space will be de
voted to the display and sale of cloth-
Like the old quarters In the Flood
building, a feature of the arrangement
of the new store will be a flood of
light which will stream Into the es
tablishment from the fronts In Market
Fourth, Pioneer place and a court 30
feet wide on the west side of the
building. This court' will contain six
elevators on one side and showcases on
the other." .
JAPANESE ASKS DAMAGES
XL Yoshida, a Japanese whose wagon
was wrecked May 20 by a street car.
began suit yesterday against the United
Railroads. According* to his complaint
he was driving along Sacramento street
between Baker and Broderlck when the
car struck his vehicle. He was hurled
to . the ground and received .injuries
which necessitated the f expenditure of
$125 for medical attendance. - Besides
asking reimbursement for that expense
he wants $40 for wagon repairs, $110
for lost earnings and J 2.000 exemplary
d&mases. '"
position, he enveloped their left flank
with his main attack, comprising one
battalion under Major MitchelL
. The machine gun N detachments, com
manded by Lieutenant Barney, support
ed the attack from Cemetery ridge.
Upon a given signal Major Mitchell's
command broke suddenly 'from the
cover of twin knolls upon the enemy's
left, which, already shaken by the
froptal fire of Captain Lee and deceived
as to Colonel Seymour's real intentions,
by his clever feint to the west, retired.
The recall was sounded as Major
Mitchell was charging with the bayonet.
The day's work of the state troops
met with the praise of the regular offi
cers in charge of the maenuvers.
Late in the afternoon the whole camp
turned out to see a baseball game on the
Presidio post grounds and for the nonce
forgot the serious work of camp life.
A team made up of members of the
national guard troops won out against
the post team by a score of 2 to 0.
General Frederick Funston, > accom
panied by Colonel Wllliam-A. Simpson
and Captain B. C. Long, visited the en
campment yesterday, riding to all the
• batteries and ending up with a visit to
Colonel Seymour.

CHILDREN NEGLECTED
IN THE REFUGEE CAMPS
Humane Officers Say That
Little Ones Are in Sad
Plight
INQUIRY IS ORDERED
Drunken and Slovenly Pa
rents Are Blamed for
Conditions
The condition of children in the un
attached refugee, camps was tl?e sub
ject under discussion at a meeting of
the California society for. the preven
tion of cruelty to, children held last
evening, at 114 Battery street. Vice
President John F. Merrill, who presided
at the meeting, ; said, that the condi
tions in" these, camps, were much worse
than in those" under the jurisdiction of
the Red ' Cross and- the rehabilitation
committees, both in respect to morals
and; sanitation. ; •
, It is said that the children grow up
wild without , any; restraint and sub
ject to the corrupting influence of drink
and debauchery, which .were rampant
in these camps, but their health and
lives are menaced by the lack of sanita
tion. - The lack of sewerage and a reg
ular water supply is a source of danger
in case of fire.
"These camps had been formed by
people who had been : refused admission
into' the organized 'camps or who pre
ferred to be : unrestrained. As they
were not In the public squares they
were not subject to the removal order
and would probably remain indefinitely
unless special steps were taken against
them.
It was decided to have the officers
of the society ' present' these facts to
I the ; city authorities with a view to i
compelling some action. • !
The secretary reported that during
the month of June there were 114 com
plaints received, of which 102 had been
investigated. The number of children
involved was _ 227. Relief had been
given to 15S children. . Of these 40 had
been placed In institutions; 2 had been
placed In families, 3 returned to their
parents or guardians, and 30 sent to
the juvenile, court. . There were 15
cases of prosecutions of adults, con
viction following in 8 cases. Forty-six
cases, had been settled out of court; 4
persons released f rom , custody on
probation; 103 persons assisted with
advice ; and information; 117 families
visited in - making investigations; 79
families warned; 1 case referred to the
associated charities, and 1 to the Vol
unteers of America.
SCHOOL TEACHERS APPROVE
OF CITY BOARD'S ACTION
At Meeting of Their Organization
Commendatory Resolutions Are
Considered and Indorsed
"Resolved, That the efforts of Dis
trict Attorney Langdon, .Auditor Hor
ton, Superintendent I%ncovierl and the
board of education to effect an arrange
ment by which \u25a0: the suit', of the mer
chant creditors may bejjjlsmissed and
the teachers ;of the San Francisco
schools draw their pay for June, with
out the necessity, of vexatious, ex
pensive and- lengthy litigation, meets
our, hearty approval."
. In this resolution' the members of the
San Francisco school 'teachers', federa
tion, at v a meeting » yesterday, . com
mended the action of the board of edu
cation .in asking the supervisors :• for
an additional : $43,000 to pay : bills for
merchandise purchased . for the use of
the schools during the fiscal year just
ended. The resolution , concluded:
Further resolved, that we consider that this
result. If achieved, will be due In no small de
gree to the , firm stand taken on behalf of the
teachers by City Attorney Burke, and bis as
sistants, William T. Baggett and John T. Wil
liams, .who, though appearing on behalf of .the
board of education, bare co-operated In ' every
war possible In aid of the teachers with Hilly cr,
Mann & O'Brien, Attorneys for the federation,
and Stephen V. Costcllo, attorney for the teach
ers' councils.
Further r? solved, . that one good turn deserves
another, and that in the clean up of outstanding
obligations against the* school fund . for the
fiscal year ending Jane SO, 1907, the high school
and evening school teachers should - not be for
gotten and should receive those portions of their
yearly salaries which have been withheld. '
