Shipping News and Gossip of the Water Front Transport Thomas Holds Wireless Chat With Station 870 Miles Away The most notable feature of the! home-ward voyage of the army trans port Thomas, which arrived Monday night from the Philippines, was the successful operation of the trooper's wireless telegraphy apparatus. Cap- 1 tain Lynam. commander of the Thomas, believes that with a wireless station lo cated on Twin peaks in this city and one at Honolulu on a high elevation, both equipped with powerful apparatus.; communication could be maintained all 1 the way between here and the islands. The Thomas chattered like a magpie OS the way from Manila and main- ; lamed long distance conversations \u25a0with numerous points. The station at Hono lulu is not equipped with a very power ful apparatus and the Thomas did all the talking with the islands for many miles before the receiver on the trans port told of Honolulu's ability to Join In the wireless chat. The best record made by the trans port was at 9 p. a August 10, when communication was opened with the station at Northhead on the Columbia river. The transport was then 870 miles distant from ICorthhead and 700 miles off shore. It was a perfect night for wireless eloquence and messages were received, sent and acknowledged promptly with as much ease as if they had traveled by wire. The Thomas brought 944 passengers. including: 518 enlisted men of the Xinth infantry. Among the passengers was Brigadier General W. T. Duggan, who comes home to be retired. Twenty-four i enlisted men of the navy came home on i the Thomas and were taken to Mare island early yesterday morning. There trere 13 general prisoners on the trans port. Among the 39 men of the army and navy in the transport's hospital was Tanaki Tsutsui, a Japanese who had served as a messboy on one of the ships of the Asiatic squadron. Tanaki developed a mild form of insanity and, although an alien, the fact of his ser vice with the United States navy en-! titles him to treatment at Uncle Sam's expense. He was treated for some time at the navy hospital at Canaco near Cavite, but showing no signs of im provement, was placed on board the Thomas. He was taken to Mare island hospital yesterday and will there be cared for as tenderly as if he were a Yankee admiral. Ther« were two deaths during the voyage. W. A. Whaley, a civilian em ploye, died July 28 of Bright's disease. and on August 7 an enlisted man of the Xinth Jnfantry succumbed to spinal meningitis. . ". Charles D. Smith, an ex-prlvate of the Fourth infantry, was turned over to the civil authorities at Honolulu to be sent back to Manila, where he is wanted on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses.

The Weber was backing away from the slip in Oakland creek a.t the foot of Broadway, when the girl, who was trying to row with a single oar to the yacht Alert anchored out in the creek, appeared upon the scene. Johnson had the Guard under way and hastened to the girl's rescue. The Weber was beginning to gather sternway and the flood tide was sweeping the dingey and the girl toward the revolving wheel. The look out on the stern of the Weber saw the girl just as Johnson grabbed the bow of her boat a.nd yelled a warning to the man In the pilet house. The steamer's wheel was stopped and before the Guard had towed the dingey clear of danger the tide had carried the Captain Weber against the wharf, doing some slight damage to the structure. Johnson towed the girl to the yacht Alert and caw her safely on board. Johnson, who is 17 years olfl, did not ask the young lady her name. He says that she was about 20 year* old. had fair hair, wore no hat, and short sleeves. She was pretty, says her rescuer, and beauti fully tanned. "She thanked me for. sav ing her." said Johnson, "and when I started away, stood up on the yacht's deck and waved me goodby and all that business. She looked like one of them summer girla, and I'm glad I was able to help her." Bonita n'as Hard and Fast Ashore The steamer Bonita, which went eehore Friday night about 700. yards west of the wharf at Ventura, has been floated, but was not floated on Sat urday, as stated In the dispatch re ceived on that day by the merchants' exchange. Captain Charles Hall, as elstsjJt superintendent of the , Pacific Coast steamship company, returned V yesterday from Ventura, where the "Bonita was pulled into deep water un der his direction. He reached the scene of the stranding on the steamer Coos Bay on Sunday afternoon and haU lines out and everything ready for the big pull when the^steamer. Francis H. Leggett arrived.- The Leg rett was harnessed to the lines and at 1 high tide the work of dragging the Bonita from the beach began. The vessel had been going full speed when it struck and had to be dragged- 500 feet before deep \u25a0water was reached. As far as known the Bonita was not damaged seriously, but as there was a heavy swell running when the ves sel stranded the little coaster will be drydocked for survey when it returns today. Captain Nicholson's mistake in taking part of the town illumination for th« light on the Ventura wharf was responsible for the Bonita's going ashore. Record Telephone Service At the harbor hospital they are keep- \ Ing tabs on the telephone service and during the last 10 days have compiled a record which should prove a valuable document to the future historian of theße days when he tackles the sub- 1 ject, "The Telephone as It Served the Ancient San Franciscans." As a re sult of the lessons learned from this \u25a0 record, messages of extreme urgency that require attention inside of an 'hour are now mailed at the postofflce with a special delivery .stamp on the envelope. This is a little slow in cases where the victim of an accident is bleeding to death, but has been found quicker than using the telephone. The harbor hospital ambulance is frequent ly ordered out on long runs, and when calls come in during? its absence it has been the custom to notify the central emergency hospital by tele phone to send the wagon from that Institution. The hospital record shows that during the last 10 days it has taken on an average 42 minutes to attract the attention of "Central." The doctors are trying to turn the tele phone situation to some benefit, and "Get Central three times a day" is now one of their most effective prescriptions for the reduction of adipose tissue. Commission Men Renew Permits The harbor commission notified the commission men some time ago that the provision of the Woodworth law requiring all engaged In handling produce on the state wharves to secure permits from the harbor board must be respected. Yesterday was set as the day for registration and all day the office of the harbor commission in the ferry depot was thronged with repre sentatives of the local commission houses. Coronado Ramit a Barge The steam schooner Coronado rammed an oil barge belonging to the American dredging company yesterday on Oakland creek. The Coronado sus tained slight damage, out it was neces sary to drydock the barge for repairs.

ASK GOVERNMENT TO PAY FOR WRECKED BUILDINGS Stratton Recommends That Claims of Owners Be Rejected Memories of the conflagration of April, 1906, were revived in the cus tom house yesterday- when F. J. Cas telhun, representing John Paymiller and John C. Lawson. made a claim for $6,574 damages against Customs Col lector Frederick S. Stratton and the government. Paymller and Law son were owners of two story adjoining buildings on the northeast corner of Jackson and Sansome streets. On the third day the fire was brought back by the "wind to \u25a0 that neighborhood and a detachment of United States marines under Lieu tenant McMillan tore down the two: buildings to prevent the names reach- j ing the appraiser's building across the street. This was done by order of Collector Stratton. \ . Castelhun made demand upon Strat ton for. $5,354, the value of Lawson's property, and for $1,220 for Paymiller. Stratton replied "that he would not i pay Paymlller'B or Lawson's claim. He I contended that the , fire": .would have consumed the two buildings within an hour jif .they had 'not becq.! demolished. Stratton has mailed the -demands .to Washington with a -recommendation that they be rejected. , V ;';.,'\u25a0': DEATH MEETS OPULENCE ON VICTIM'S PATHWAY Man Who Dies in .
