Captain Petzingrer Is Dead.
Capt. J. F. for IS years
in the employ of the state harbor com
mission, as master of one of its tugs,
died yesterday at his home in Los
Aitos, a victim of pneumonia. Petz
inger. who was in command of the
[Governor Markhani. was on duty Sat
urday and put in a'full day's work.
Saturday night lie complained of hav
ing caught cold. Pneumonia devel
oped and yesterday he died.
' Make ' Petzinger was one of the best
known of bay navigators, and his pass
ing will cause general regret as he
was a man who won friends easily and
held them.
At the time of the big fire, Petz
inger was master of the tug Governor
Irwin and his efforts in a 48-hour
battle contributed largely to the sav
ing: of the wharves from the flames.
Petzinger Is survived by a widow,
four daughters and a son.

MILITARY ROAD
TO BE IMPROVED
Principal Highway at Presidio
Will Be Asphalted in Beau
tification Scheme
The first step in the heautification
of the Presidio will be the asphalting
of the chief military road of the reser
vation, beginning at a point directly
in front of the Letterman general hos
pital and extending to the national
cemetery. Work will begin as soon
as the bids are in, which will be in
several weeks. The quartermaster's
department, through Major Kensey J.
Hampton, announced yesterday that
bids on the work would be opened im
mediately. The amount to be ex
pended, which has been appropriated
by congress, is $19,000, although less
than this sum is expected to do the
job. Army circles rejoice over the
fact that the road is to be so materially
improved. In its present condition
pedestrians are inconvenienced by
several inches of dust, which rises in
clouds when vehicles pass. In the
rainy season the boulevard is covered
with mud.

There are people who have rooms to rent and do not rent them. There ane people
who need positions badly and do not get them. There are people who could get better
positions but do not go after them. There are people who want partners and part

pianos and furniture of all kinds that have to be sold, and there are people who want
these things as badly as other people want to sell them.
THE CALL'S CLASSIFIED COLUMNS
are made for just such emergencies. Whenever you have something you want or when
ever you need the money for something you have, if you would only learn to put in a

SUPPORTING PIERS
FOUND TO BE WEAK
Inquiry Shows That Supposedly
Concrete Foundations of
Wharf Are Faulty
Divers sent down by Jerome New
man, engineer of the state harbor com
mission, have discovered the piers sup
porting pier 42 to be in bad shape. The
Investigation followed a complaint by
the Pacific Mail company to the effect
that the supposedly concrete founda
tions of the wharf were no longer sup
porting the structure, which had de
veloped, in certain parts, a steadily'in
creasing wobble.
The trouble Just discovered was not
unexpected. The wharf was.b.uilt by
the Spear board of harbor commission
ers, appointed by former Governor
Pardee, and the construction was on
a par with other work done on the
water front under the supervision of
Lott D. Norton, who then held the
job of engineer.
Before the construction on the wharf
was begun Howard C. Holmes, whose
patent cylinders were used, made cer
tain suggestions, based on practical ex
perience, which Norton saw fit to ig
nore. Holmes was engaged by R. P-
Schwerin to make an estimate of the
cost of the structure and In his letter
submitting his figures said:
"I Would suggest that the staves in
the larger cylinders be Increased from
three to four inches in thickness; this
would add about $4,000 to the cost of
the structures (the estimates were on
42 and 44, which were built at the
same time), or merely that of the ad
ditional lumber required, but it would
make it possible, as I know from actual
practice, to pump the cylinders down
to the mud line, thus avoiding the un
satisfactory method of depositing the
concrete under the water."
The recommendation was submitted
to the harbor commissioners, but ig
nored, and the shipping of the port,
already overburdened with the expense
of maintaining a costly political ma
chine, will now be taxed further to
pay for the Incompetence of Pardee's
appointees.
The discovery of the condition of pier
42 Justifies the action of the Gillett
board In making a radical change in
the method of constructing these con
crete cylinders. The cylinders under
the wharves built by the Stafford board
were - made big enough and strong
enough to be pumped absolutely dry.
As a result they are solid concrete from
base to top and have shown no signs
of weakness. The present board, after
trying Some ideas of its own that didn't
work, has come back, In its heavy con
struction, to the method adopted by
the Gillett board.
COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL
SEE HOME TOWN AGAIN
This Time San Francisco Bay
Will Be Attraction
A second outing and dinner, similar
to the one held six months ago by the
members of the San Francisco Com
mercial club, is being planned for next
Friday, October 18, when the members
will go on a sightseeing jaunt around
the bay of San Francisco in the after
noon, returning to the clubrooms in the
Chamber of Commerce, building in time
for dinner.
The Montlcello Steamship rompany'a
steamer Napa Valley has been chart
ered for the occasion and will depart
from the north end of the ferry build
ing at 2 o'clock, returning at 6.30. A
visit will be made to Winehaven aa
guests of the California Wine associa
tion, after which the party will circle
Angel island, view the exposition site
and the entire water front as far south
as Hunters point drydock.
Six months ago the first dinner of its
kind did much to arouse the enthu
siasm of the club on the progress of
the exposition, and since then the mem
bers have been urging the officers to
hold another celebration. Mayor Rolph,
.President" C. C. Moore of the exposition
and Frederick J. Koster, president of

LAWYER JAILED ON
EXTORTION CHARGE
Herrin Is Accused of Sending
Threatening Letter With
Intent to Blackmail
William J. Herrin. an attorney, with
offices in the Mutual Savings Bank
building, was arrested yesterday at
noon by Detectives Hoertkorn and Gal
latin and charged with violating .sec
tion 523 of the penal code, on the com
plaint of Max Arnovitch, connected
with the Berrywood Piano company.
The arrest of Herrin, it is alleged, is
the result of the lawyer sending a
threatening letter to Arnovitch with
Intent to extort money. Arnovitch
was recently served with summons in
a civil suit brought by Pearl Evans to
recover $8,800, alleged to have been due
on a promissory note.
Maxwell McNutt of the district at
torney'- office says Herrin sent Arno
vitch a letter asking a settlement of
the civil case and insinuated that un
less he complied with the wish he
would be prosecuted under the white
slave laws.
Herrin at the city prison yesterday
refused to discuss the case, saying he
would issue a statement when he con
ferred with his lawyers. Police Judge
Weller, who issued the warrant for
Herrin's arrest, fixed bond at $5,000, or
$2,500 cash, Herrin was released on a
$5,000 bond accepted by Superior Judge
Cabaniss.
ORDER FOR DEPOSITIONS
IN HODGES WILL SUIT
Executors Get Court Permit to
Meat Contest I
An order permitting Charles 11.
Rieber and Harris Kennedy, as execu
tors of the will of the late Aln-.on
Hodges Jr., to take depositions to
perpetuate testimony was secured by
them from Superior Judge Thomas F.
Graham yesterday in expectation of a
contest over the document by the de
cedent's brother in law, O. Albeit
Bernard, on behalf of the only heir,
Frederick Hodges, an incompetent son.
Almon Hodges died a year ago in
Massachusetts, but his home was- in
Oakland, where his son lives, C. H.
Rieber being his guardian. Bernard
had himself appointed guardian aM
libitum for the child. The executor-,
suspect that his purpose was- to attack
the will.
The petition of the executors states
that if such a contest is brought It
will be essential for them to prov
the competency of the will. They fear
that death of eastern witnesses in
case depositions are not taken will
handicap them.
