gerouS Injuries,

The Harbor Commissioners held short
session yesterday afternoon. The only
matter that provoked discussion was the
petition of Mortor's Special Delivery to
have previous resolution of the board in
regard to the Broadway wharves re-
scinded
When Morton had discussed the matter
at some length he pointed out that the
letting Of the exclusive use of the wharves
in question to the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company was breach of the law as con-
strued by Superior Judge Hebbard.
Furthermore, said he, 81 want the
board to be legally in the right in this
matter, as there is going to be more trou-
bic. The Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany is not going to give up this fight, nor
is the Pacific Transfer Company. The run
ners for the latter will board the steamers
OF the company in the bay, and when the
vessel gets alongside our men will be
blocked in every direction and then the
row will Begin
In talking about the matter afterward
Morton said that he intended making a
fight on the steamers Columbia from Ore
gon, Umatilla from Puget Sound, st. Paul
from southern ports and the Australia
from Honolulu, all expected this morning.
II he does there will be lively times on the
front for few hours during the day.
When the discussion of the wharf privi-
leges was resumed President Colnon asked
for the decision of Judge Hebbard. He
remarked that he never had been of the
opinion that the board could give its ex-
elusive use to any individual or corpora
ton and he wanted to be sure. There was
no copy of the decision at hand, and so
further consideration of the matter went
over until Friday, when the boards attor-
ney will have copy at the meeting. The
latter expressed himself us of the opinion
that the resolution complained of had
been faultiIy constructed and that the mis-
takes mplained of should he rectitied.

MINERS ASSOCIATION.

Executive Session of the Executive
Committee Held Last Night.
A protracted executive session of the ex-
ecutive committee of the California Miners
Association was held in Maple Hall of the
Palace Hotel last night.
The committee went into session at 8
O'Clock and carried on its discussions until
11:20P. NJ.
The principal topic of discussion was the
bill providing for the examination and
classification of certain mineral lands in
in the State of California. The discussion
had reference only to certain clauses and
sections of the bill. Amendments and
various alterations were suggested, but all
were in the interest of the ultimate passage
of the bill.
There being some difference of opinion
concerning the fifth and sixth sections of
the bill, it was thought advisable to post
from to-day, in order to give the delegates
andHmem bers of the branch organizations
an opportunity of familiarizing themselves
with the provisions of the measure in con-
temptation The secretary, Julian Sonn-
tag, was, therefore, instructed to call the
meeting week from tonight and inclose
a copy of the bill in the notification sent
to each member.
Strong addresses were made by Messrs.
ing. They sought to elucidate the pro-
visions and purposes of the proposed
measure and impress on the members of
the committee the vital Importance of pre-
senting the bill before Congress in an &C.
ceptable shape.
Senator Ford and W. G. Ralston were
appointed a committee to confer with the

it as usual he did not observe his en-
plover in the store adjoining, and he began
to look around to see what was the matter.
He found the man lying dead in his bed,
with a 3S-caliber revolver still clutched in
his right hand. In his right temple there
was red hole from which the blood had
flowed over the bedclothes.
The gloomy little room had been very
carefully put in order, and on the bureau
there was a goblet almost filled with
liquor There was a murky sediment in
the bottom of the glass.
Policeman O.. K knight was informed
and word was sent to the Morgue. In
searching the room Riso's will was found.
He had Scrubbed it in Italian on piece of
ietter-paper. Az the Morgue the iollowlng
translation was made:
November %, 1895.

Agostine Mott, the other half to A. g. Rizzo

am the bad one and take my life.
PAY ATTENTION.
These three girls are assassins.
The "Agostine Mott" mentioned in the
will as Riso's godfather is wholesale and
retail fsh-dealer at stall 81 in the Clay
street Market.
Julia christensen was the little girl OH
whose accusation in particular Rise had
been placed under arrest. She has been
familiar figure of late in the police courts.
Neighbors in that vicinity have noticed
that for some time little girls were in the
habit of entering Riso's store and remain
ing there longer than was thought proper
and the police were notified. The place
was watched and one of the girls (Julia
Christiansen) was caught. She confessed
and Riso's arrest followed.
Attorney A. Heynemann had been re-
tanned to defend Riso by his friends, who
were inclined to believe him innocent and
a victim OF blackmail. Mr.. Heynemann
thinks the man could not have been
proven guilty. It's his opinion that the
act of self-destruction was prompted by
the fear of the disgrace which would
naturally follow so grave charge.
Police Judge Low dismissed the charge

Eugene Pardini is getting his nervous
system in order in the Receiving Hospital,
and the probability is that he will be sent
back to the City Prison to-day. DR.. Werl,
who has been closely studying him. says
he is not mentally unbalanced, but simply
suffering from overpressure of the nerves.
His cases were called in Judge Lows court
yesterday morning and continued till Sat-
urday.
The charges against Frank Emond. the
organ-grinder, were to have been heard
yesterday by Judge Low, but had to be
postponed till to-day, as the Judge was
called as witness in the Superior Court.
Manuel Gomez, who was arrested on
Monday night, appeared before Judge Low
and his preliminary examination was set
for December 3. He was out on $500 bail
but was ordered into custody, and is now
in the same cell with Lane, Ratz and
Emond.
The case against Joseph Garcia was dis
missed, and the same order was made in
the case of G. .. Rlso, who committed
suicide.
Judge Campbell had another case on his
calendar yesterday against Leon Meyers,
but it was continued till Saturday.

Yesterday. After the officer had given his
testimony the Judge asked: "Are you
sure the boys were shooting craps?'
"Of course | am" said Maloney.
"How many dice were they using?" was

THE cases are dismissed, said the
Judge, to the establishment of Maloaey.

another extended trial the chances are
that he will accept her and prepare her
for next summers cruise.
The Lucero is 55 tons burden, and for a
boat of her size has more cabin room than
any yacht atioat. She is 100 feet long, l6
feet broad and 7 feet deep. She made the
run from Astoria in 68 hours in spite of
head winds. Captain Hughes says she is
a splendid sea boat, and can make her ten
knots on a consumption of 200 gallons of
gasoline every twenty-four hours. The
other officers are Charles E. Wilson, mate,
and William Barlow, engineer.
Captain r. T. Engelbrecht of the firm
that built the vessel said: "She was be-
gun in June last and finished in August at
a cost of $4,000. The engines were sup-
piled by San Francisco firm, and it was
with them we had the trouble off the Co.
lumbia River. The engineer neglected to
oil the bearings, which got into a bad con-
dition and stuck together. The Lucero
was towed into port and repairs had to be
made. Our stop at Port Townsend was
due 10 the fact that the yacht was not
properly ballasted. and the one at Port
Angeles to stress of weather.
"After repairing at Portland we came Oh
to San Francisco without hitch, and |
am now certain the Lucero will be sue

OF Sc, O00 gallons, SO that there will always
be six months supply aboard.

launch will be the largest of her kind on
the Pacific Coast, and think the largest
in the United States. / secured the con
tract because Mr.. Fair liked the model and
workmanship of the boat which / built in
Seattle and shipped to DR.. V. P Buckley"
The Lucero is schooner rugged, so that in
case of a breakdown fair headwav will
be made under sail. The best of Wash
ington fir and costly Mexican woods have
been used. The skylights, ratings and
pilot-house are built of brazilite and are
very handsome.
The storage tanks take up eight feet in
length, so that there is ample cabin-room
and accommodation for the crew. The
captains quarters adjoin the pilot-house,
and in the forecastle the men have a space
thirteen feet long. There are eight wire
hunks in it which can he folded up during
the day, thus leaving place for mess,
room. The engine-room is 12x14 feet and
is bulkheaded from the forward and after
parts of the launch. Attached to the
engine is a six-horsepower dynamo, which
will be used to run the electric light plant.
The new yacht will be given thorough
overhauling and then Fair and his friends
will go out on trial trip around the bay.

destruction he made brief will, in which
occurred the words:

Rise, Joseph Garcia and Manuel Gomez
were arrested early Monday evening by
Detective Byram and Policeman Rourke
on the accusations of some little girls.
The crimes charged were similar to those
for which Captain Lane, Meyer. Ratz.
Hinshaw and Pardini have been dragged
into the police courts. All three men were
BARRIERS Garcia's place is at 525 Pacific
gomerv avenue. Riso's little toyshop was
next door to and in the same building
with his barber-shop. He lodged in a small
sleeping-room in the rear of the store.
The three little girls, whose stories of
being lured into the places of the men
caused the police to lock these men up,
were Julia Christensen. Eva Guinasso and
Louisa Oliver. At the Califo-nia-street po-
lice station two of the prisoners were

still worse offense. Bail for the two was
fixed at $3.50 each, that for Gomez being

FAIRS LAUNCH LUCER0,
After Many Vicissitudes She
Finally Managed to Reach
Port.
Her Builders Say That All the Trouble
Arose From Want of
Trial Trip.

Charlie Fairs gasoline yacht Lucero,
after many vjcissitudes, arrived in port
yesterday. She made pretty picture as
she steamed up the bay. Captain Hughes
moored her at Howard-street wharf. She
only remained there long enough for her
millionaire owner to view his new boat,
and then she moved to little Main-street
wharf, where she will remain till her up
holstering is completed.
The causes Of the different delays were
due to the fact that the yacht never had a
trial trip, and now that all the defects
have been remedied, she is expected to be
a complete success. AT least Mr.. Fair
seems confident that she will, and after
