Lueder Hopken, a
Pioneer and Sailor,
Dies in Alameda
PIONEER MARINER
CROSSES THE BAR
Passing of Capt. Lueder Hop
ken, Sole Survivor of the
Wreck of Schellehop
ALAMEDA, May l. — Captain Lueder
Hopken, pioneer master mariner, resi
dent of Alameda for 47 years and one
of the builders of the first streetcar line
between Alameda and Oakland, died
this morning at his home, 620 Santa
Clara avenue. He was a native of
Bremen, Germany, and was 7S years
of age.
When a boy of 14 Hopken arrived in
New York. He worked his way to the
Pacific coast on a sailing vessel and in
1553, when but 21 years old, had risen
to the position of captain and piloted
his ship through the Golden gate, the
youngest master mariner to accomplish
the feat up to that time.
In 1871, while on a voyage from San
Francisco to Callao in command of the
bark Schellehop, of which he was also
the owner. Captain Hopken and his
crew of 14 men were shipwrecked. The
vessel drifted about for 109 days in a
waterlogged condition. All of the crew
died of starvation or else went insane
and drowned themselves.
RESCUED JUS MCX OP TIME v
The wreck was sighted by the
steamer Moses Taylor, bound from San
Francisco for Honolulu. A boat was
lowered from the steamer and sent off
to the wreck.
Captain Hopken was found lying on
the deck of the Schellehop in an un
conscious condition. For four days
preceding his rescue he had kept him
self alive by lapping the dew that gath
ered during the nights on the rigging
and works of the waterlogged bark.
Judge M. Stuart Taylor of this city
was a passenger on the Moses Taylor
when that vessel sighted the wreck.
He recalls the rescue of Captain Hop-
Ren vividly. Judge Taylor was on his
way to Australia at the time.
"I remember clearly the circum
stances of the rescue of Captain Hop
ken," said Judge Taylor, "although it is
close to 40 years ago since It took place.
When the boat's crew from the Moses
Taylor, which was dubbed the 'Rolling
Moses' because the steamer rolled con
tinually in any kind of a sea, boarded
the wreck they found Captain Hoplzen
in what they thought "was a dying con
dition. He was wasted almost to a
skeleton and was so wea& that he could
not walk. I remember how he was
lifted into the boat and brought to the
Moses Taylor. '.
CAPTAIN'S AWFUL NARRATIVE
"His story of shipwreck, starvation
and the deaths of his mates, told when
he had regained some of his strength,
was awful and thrilling. The passen
gers on the Moses Taylor took up a
subscription for Captain Hopken. We
landed him in Honolulu and I continued
on my way to Australia."
Captain Hopken settled in Alameda
in 1863 near what is now tho corner of
Ninth street and Lincoln avenue. There
were but two houses In that part of
Alameda then.
Captain Hopken at one time* owned
almost all of Alameda west of what is
now Sixth street. Nearly 30 years ago
Captain Hopken and the late Theodore
Meetz constructed the first streetcar
line between this city and Oakland. For
20 years prior to the big fire in San
Francisco Captain Hopken was ;i .ship
surveyor at that port for Lloyds. * His
-old office was at 321 California street.
Since the San Francisco disaster the
veteran mariner lived a retired life.
Captain Hopken was the inventor of
several contrivances which he had pat
ented. Among them "was a machine for
turning out sugar cubes.
Captain Hopken Is survived by his
wife, Mathilde T. Hopken, and a son,
Lueder C. Hopken.

THE SAN^FEAN CISCO CALI^ MONDAY; MAY ay;a v ; 191U
CHARITY WORKERS
REPORT ON NEEDS
Two Hundred Guests Dine at
Home Clubland Discuss
Organized Efforts
I OAKLAND, May I.— An informal
dinner was given by the Associated
Charities at the Home club last even
ing, at which more than 200 guests
Joined in a general discussion of the
work and object of the association.
Rev. F. L. Goodspeed was toastmaster.
Mrs. Thomas B. Hogan, one of the
foremost among those who have inter
ested themselves in the settlement
work of charity organizations around
the bay, delivered an address on "The
Associated Charities, Families " and
Neighborhoods." She paid a glowing
tribute to F. M. Smith, whose support
of the Home club and its auxiliaries
had been the means, of providing for
homeless children, and lessening the
necessity of a juvenile court. Mrs.
Hogan said that much credit belonged
to Mrs. Frances B. Lemon, whose inde
fatigable labor had greatly advanced
the cause of charity.
Miss Ethel Moore 1 spoke on flower
missions, playgrounds and other insti
tuions for the benefit of, cWldren, re
lating incidents in, the work done in
New York city. She said that Oakland
had the ground,' and that she hoped
Eome of it would be set apart for home
less children.
Rev. C. R. Brown was then intro
duced, and said in" part:
"The Lord loveth a cheerful giver,
according to the scripture, but the
giver should be intelligent as well as"
cheerful. Soft hearts and soft heads
too often go together. The Associated
Charities aims not only to' render tem
porary assistance to poverty, but to
give reconstructive help. It strives to
put the unfortunate on their feet again.
Instead of giving a homeless child food
and allowing him to go his way, the
new idea of charity is to make further
investigation of the Individual and give
him a chance to make good."
H. C Capwell, representing the char
ities indorsement committee, said that
it was composed of members of the
chamber of commerce and merchants'
exchange, whose " purpose was to see
that the charity work was conducted
in a businesslike manner.
Fairfax Wheelan told of the work
done in the juvenile courts, orphan
ages and similar institutions, and of
the many children who had been
adopted through their agency.
YOUTH OF NATION ARE
FILLING PENITENTIARIES
Young Criminals Most Feared
by Police, Says Petersen
BERKELEY, May 1. — That the crimes
committed in tho present day are
mainly the work of men who have
not yet reached the prime of life and
that this class of criminal is the most
dangerous and most feared by "those
whose business it is to guard the peace
was the -statement of Captain of De
tectives W. J. Petersen of the Oak
land police department in an address
before the Young Men's Christian as
sociation In Berkeley this afternoon.
Chief of Police. Vollmer of Berkeley
introduced Captain Petersen; who said:
"The problem of preventing crime
and bringing criminals to justice is es
sentially a problem that deals with
young men. It is the youth of this
country that is filling its penitentiaries.
He is the most daring and cunning
criminal of them all and he is the one
most feared by the police, on account
of his disregard for the consequences,
or rather, his ignorance of where his
action will lead him.
"After a young man is sent to the
penitentiary and has served a term In
that place there Is little hope of his
reform. He is practically a hardened
criminal then. The question of how to
deal with a prisoner, who is in custody
for his first offense is a difficult one.
There is always a hope that he may
reform if he is given one more chance.
There Is practically no hope for him if
he is sentenced to spend a term of
years in prison.
"The problems that confront the
young man of the present' and that
will face the youth of the future will
be much greater than in the past, and
as the west is destined to be the great
est section of this country it is safe to
say that the young men. of western
America must solve the criminal prob
lem that faces this nation and* is grow
ing greater with each succeeding
year."

TESTS DEMONSTRATE
FISHES HAVE MEMORIES
Experiments Show Gray Perch
Remembers Colors*
Even the' fishes of the sea have pic

have been made with several fishes as
to their faculties for remembering, but
the most striking results have been ob
tained with the gray perch, which lives
chiefly on a small silvery hued. sardine.
Some of these were taken and \u25a0 col
ored red and" were then put Into the
tank wherothe perch was, with sev
eral silver ; colored "sardines, says the
Chicago Tribune. Of course, the- nor
mal sardines were at once seized, and
eaten, but It was not until hungry that
the perch "made a tentative meal of one
of the red colored victims. , : I-":.
On recognizing the . sardine flavor,
however, he promptly demolished' the
remainder/. Later the' perch devoured
the sardines irrespective of r color, thus
showing not only traces of a memory,
but also the ; power to differentiate
color. :. ' I .
..Subsequently sardines colored red
and blue ; were placed: in the tank to
gether .with; the silver ones. The same
scene ; was- repeated, the blue sardines
not being attacked "until the others
were ; eaten and hunger compelled; in
vestigation of- the newcomers. After
the introduction the perch ate the sar
dines, of t all jj three types without any
difficulty.^ —
Some spines of- the sea nettle were
then " fastened- to .j the - blue sardines.

Mme-Le Brun, Who"
Will Be Heard
In, Grand Opera
FERULLO ENTERS
FAREWELL WEEK
Grand Opera Company and
Symphony Orchestra Will
Follow at Idora
Wildly gesturing with his busy baton.
Signor . Ferullo, the volcanic director,
swung his superb band into its fare
well week at big Idora park yesterday,
amid. the . cheers, hurrahs and hand
clapping of the enthusiastic audiences.
There was . regret when the dying
strains of the grand finale floated away
last evening, for it marked not only
the close of one of Ferullo's finest con
certs, but the realization that this
great Italian band has but one more
week at "the park beautiful." The
Ferullo band has endeared itself to the
hearts of the music lovers and the final
week of concerts undoubtedly will be
met with large and enthusiastic audi
ences.
During the remaining seven days
Ferullo's programs will be exception
ally good, embracing the most popular
selections of the preceding four weeks.
The favorite grand opera airs, the
rollicking twosteps and stirring
marches, .the soft and dreamy Spanish
serenades, the popular rage and pic
turesque operettas will compose a se
ries of programs for this week, which
would be hard to equal. Ferullo has
been heard by more than 500.000 people,
and many of these will repeat their
former visits during the week to hear
the great Italian band before its fare
well next Sunday night.
Following the Ferullo band comes
an attraction entirely different but no
less high class. Music lovers in gen
eral and opera devotees in particular
will take delight in listening to tlie
Le Brun grand opera company,, together
with Paul Steindorff's superb symphony
orchestra, the unique attraction which
follows Ferullo. The Le Brun company
will be heard in the popular grand op
eras, giving scenes and entire acts in
costume accompanied by SteindorfTs
orchestra.
