The Fighting Attorney.

P. F. Benson was arraigned in the Oak
land Police Court yesterday morning on a
charge of battery preferred by Detective
Denny Holland. The case was continued
until tomorrow. when it will be set for
trial.
This is the first step in the trouble that
arose over Holland and Benson's informal
discussion of the Boogar case and the Oak
land Police Department Wednesday night
The detective and his friends are deter
mined to make the lawyer smart for his
aggressive conduct. and indications point to
lively trial.
The charge of battery may not be the
only one Benson will have TO answer to.
lD the heat of his quarrel with Holland the
lawyer is said to have made startling
charges, some of which he may be called
upon to substantiate. For example, he
said the Police Department was not as
straight as it might be, aud stated that
Chief Schaffer had taken his books to
Philip Boogar some time ago and at
tempted to backmail the old gentleman
out of $1,000. Such charge is given no
credit by the people of Oakland.

Regimental Drill.

The First Regiment of Infantry. COM
manded by Colonel William Sullivan, was
drilled In battalion movements and regi-
mental evolutions Wednesday evening.
The large square on Hayes street, above

Woodruff. The second battalion, under
command of Captain Tildep, was COM
posed Of Company B, Captain Irving B.
Cook; Company G, Lieutenant Sutllffe !;
Company K. Captain Ebert, and Com
pany II, Captain Eisen.
In the battalion movements the differ ent
companies did very well, except in some
the distances were poorly kept, while in
others the distances were we'll eQualized.
The second half hour of drill was occu-
pied in the executing of regimental evolu-
tions, in which the regiment was drilled
by Colonel Sullivan.

COMBINE WANTED.
Redwood Lumber Men
Are Ready to Act.
They Are All i'm Favor of an Organ.
ization to Advance Prices,
but How ?

AS to what will come of the effort to
form an organization of redwood lumber
manufac turers those directly interested
are still in doubts. There are so MANY in
terests to be harmoniZed that some manu-
facturers. while earnestly desiring COM
bipe, are inclined TO think that the industry
cannot well be brought under one united
man agement. Still the question discussed
at two meetings already will be taken up
again and debated further, showing reso-
luton to go as far as possible in effecting
a combine.
There is no reason why the redwood
men cannot form an effective organiza-
tion." said the president of the Pine Lum-
ber Company.
I'VE have practically monopoly of the
business. There are only three places in
the world where redwood is found-a
limited area in California, in Kamschatka
and Patagonia. sBoth of the last-named
places are inaccessible. The industry is
in ths hands of thirty men or Whereabouts.
SO 1t might easily be brought under GEN.
trail control"
will a raise in price of redwood affect
pine?"
well. sympathetieally. yes. If red
wood advances there will be better de-
mand Tor pine, or FIR, and as one market
naturally has a sympathy for the other
pine lumber will advance more or less"
The manager of one of the most exten-
sive redwood manufacturing firms said
there was really little or nothing to be
said upon the situation beyond what az
peared exclusively in THE CALL yesterd ay.
AN organization of manufacturers was
formed iD 1885. or about that time, and it
kept up prices. But the market was good
chen. The south was taking large Quar til
ties OF lumber, and prices were good any,
way on account of the demand
''In the present market: a diff
ferent condition is met. Prices are about
the figures given in THE CALL-S13 and

lively. The plan submitted for discussion
at Yesterdays meeting was only plan.
but whether it will be adopted is a cues
tion. With notifications and changes it
has good chance for becoming a law
among the manufacturers. The clause
limiting output of mills will give most
trouble to settle, as some men may hold
that the Limit was not fair in their cases.
But all these questions are subjects for
many debates.
ou may say in a nutshell that the
redwood men are only too willing, one and
all, to have good combination, but how
to secure 1t is the question of the hour"

AT HIS DESK AGAIN.
Collector of Customs Wise Returns
From the East.

Collector John III. Wise returned from
the East yesterday. He was closely clos
eted In his Office all the afternoon. and his
last visitor was Surveyor of the Port Will
liam D. English.
Owing to the sickness of his wife at
Chicago he did not reach Washington
until just two days before Congress ad-
journed. so that he was unable to carry
out his intentions respecting antl-Chinese
legislation. He did not see the President.
Mr.. Cleveland being absent all the time
the Collector was IN Washington.
II saw Secretary Gresham and Secretary
Carlisle" said the Collector yesterday
afternoon, land they treated me very
pleasantly. Secretary Carlisle is deter
mined 10 keep the Chinese from coming
into this country and TO enforce the new
law. No Chinese actors are going to be
allowed to come in here for the MidwiDter
Fair. unless they can give a very good
showing, and then only under proper re-
strictions. They will have to give bonds
and the bondsmen will have to be ap-
proved by Mr. Carlisle. There will not
be any repetition of the Chicago business.
Why, of the 800 Chinese landed as actors
for Chicago, net hundred of them ever
reached there!

ing Secretary, about the force of inspect
ors to be needed at the Midwinter Expnsl-
tlon, ana ne told me would be allowed 10
have as many as l wanted to make the
force efficient. They will all be appointed
by me from the civil service list. One or
TWO might be sent from the East because
of their capability for handling the ex-
hibts.
Secretary Carlisle has agreed to allow
a few thousand dollars for the improve
ment outside and inside of the Custom
house building. The money can come out
of the architects funds.

East about me having complaints to make
of Inspector Noyes is not true. | never

The funeral of the late Mrs. Maria Stet-
son was held yesterday afternoon from the
family residence. 1901 Van Ness avenue

to pay the last tribute of respect and SYM
pathize with the family in the hour of

Mackenzie. then followed with a brief
Scripture reading. after which he reviewed
the life Of the deceased. touching princi-
pallv upon the wide field of philanthropic
work in which she had been conspicuously
identified.
The choir then rendered 1--WE Shall
Meet Beyond the River" and the service
closed with prayer by Rev. DR.. Mackenzie
After taking last look at the face of
the deceased all but relatives were dis
missed and a short family service was held,
during which Mrs. Mckee rendered "Some
Sweet Day."
The remains were then conveyed to the
Masonic Cemetery and laid to rest in the
family plat. the lnterment being strictly
private.
The pall-bearers were: Messrs. w. f.

THE DAVIE FERRY.
Meeting of the Creditors
of the Company.
The Liabilities Are $I2,SoI, Assets
1o,600-A Committee of Cred
itors to Report Monday.

A meeting of the creditors of the Davie
Ferry and Transportation Company was
held yesterday afternoon at the Office oi
the company. p Market street. Z. II.
Webb presided.
Ben Morgan, attorney for the company,
made verbal statement of its affairs, and
offered to turn over 10 the creditors fol-
their investigation all of the books, papers
and property with a view of determining
its assets and liabilities.
After some informal discussion, the
meeting appointed the following committee
to examine the books and papers and re-
port to an adjourned meeting to be held
next Monday: E. Fl. Webb. A. w. Corn
wall, q. w. Hendrie, E. G. Buswell and
James P. Taylor.
This committee went to work at once,
and after two hours labor ascertained
that the assets and liabilities we're as fol-
lows: Debts incurred by the com pany,
S10.077; due for dockage, $3.50; rev boiler
for the steamer Frank Silva, S2475. Total,
S12.S S91.
The assets are: Steamer Silva, $4,000; !;
lifeboats. life-preservers. Office furniture,
ETC.. $1,000. Toial. SIC 600.
The present liabilities are only S1O.077
and part Of the dnckage item. the who lie
amount being in dispute. but the item of a
new boiler was included in the liabilities
for the reason that in the list of assets the
steamer Silva is given a value which
should include the necessary Improvement t.
The principal creditors are: The Black
Diamond Coal Company, S2l00; Dunsmuir
& Sons. S110O; G. W. Hendrie, Oakland,
for life-preservers and lifeboats, 500;
Puget Sound Lum Der Company of Oak

oils. $500; Ingler & Atkinson. dressed

$500. There is large list of small credi-
tors with claims of between $50 and 500.
A great part Of the indebtedness was in
Cured in rebuilding the steamer Avira
about three months ago. AS Vice -Presi-
dent E. B. PomIoy remarked: I'VE spent
$1,000 and made $4,000 boat out of boat
that was not worth $4,000 all for the
$3.50 month besides. and he has received
his pay up TO December /. In return he
has done everything he could to break
down the Dayie Company"
The tying up of the Frank Silva preeip-
itated the failure. j. L. Davie. president
of the company, said to CALL reporter !:
1--WE have contracts on hand now by which
we could clear 500 dav above expenses
We have the best part of the freight busi-
ness between San francisco and the east
side of the bay. 1t is not likely that the
passenger boats would have earned more
than expenses during the winter, but
weather does not affect freight business
We could continue now and make enough
money gradually to wipe out our indebted-
ness. We have an offer from several cred
itors in Oakland to take out their claims
in trade and they have enough freight to
wipe it out in from month to six weeks"
There is a general disposition on the r,yrt
of creditors to be lenient if the way be
clear toward payment Of their claims il
long time be granted.

GUATEMALAN MINES.
A San Francisco Syndicate Badly
Taken In.

A party composed of M. Shea and
Eugene Burdick left this city last spring
to probably purchase some gravel mines
near the city of Guatemala. One Manuel
San Pedro, whose parents are said to re-
side in this city. according to the story
told by NJ. Shea last night. induced Shea
and Burdick to organize a syndicate to
purchase certain gravel claims said to be
about seventy miles from the city OF
Guatemala, on the Rio Grande and Rio de
la Plata.
Accordingly. Shea and Burdick per-
suaded some of their friends, namely Luke
Mcdonald, w. Marhewson, r. Shea of
this city and James and Edward Smith of
Paso Robles, to raise $500. and with this
amount Shea and Burdick left for Guate-
maia on March q last accompanied by
San Pedro.
According to Shea's story the mines
failed to materialiZe. and although they
prospected over every available site aud
likely indication the yellow metal failed
TO pan out and the vast wealth San Pedro
pictured he could place in their hands was
not to be had. Shea also says that San
Pedro wrote to those interested In the
syndicate asking each one tD contribute

MRS. BOoGAR'S INJURIES.
Her Physician Says She Is in a
Critical Condition.

The nurses in charge of Philip Boogar
gave 1t out yesterday that the old man
was rapidly recovering since he had been
relieved of the presence OF his faithful
wife.
Mrs. B0ogar is not so fortunate. Since
her rough treatment on Tuesday night she
has been constantly attended by DIR. Neu-
mann. her condition being such that she is
In need of constant medical care. Yester-
day she suffered so acutely that it was
necessary to keep her under the partial in
huence of oDiates. DR.. Neumann said
mat 1t was yet a matter of grave doubt
whether his patient would survive. The
great bruiSe on the side of the neck has
swollen 10 such an extent that nourish-
ment can only be given her with greatest
dlfflcnlty. Breathing is also extremely
painful on account of the pieces of bone
which have penetrated the right lung from
the splintered rib.
NO arrests were made yesterday, Attor-
ney Knight deeming it advisable to take q O
steps In this direction until some definite
prediction can be made as to his clients

change to the Board of Supervisors within
a fortnight.
