DISTRIBUTED TO CHARITIES.
The ACCUMULATED INTEREST OF
THE ROBINSON REQUEST
APPORTIONED.
LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVE
S13OO-THE HISTORY OF
THE FUND.

The annual distribution of the aecumu-
lated interest of the Robinson bequest fund
took place in Mayor Sutro's Office yester-
day afternoon, the Mayor and Supervisors
Taylor and Benjamin apportioning the
money to the various charitable organiza-
tons whose claims were considered.
The Mayors idea-that the funds should
be given to the various charitable organi-
cations in rotation-was approved by the
Supervisors, and, in consequence, several
societies who did not receive any portion
at the last distribution will receive share
this year:
The charitable institutions to which the
money was distributed and the amount
given to each were as follows:
Associated Charities, $500; st. Andrews So
ciety, 800; Little Sisters Infant Shelter 800;
Eureka Benevolent Society, 800; French
Ladies Benevolent Society, 800; Childrens
Hospital, 800; General German Ladies' Be-
nevolent Society, 800; San Francisco Nursery
Christian Association, 500; Catholic Ladies'
Aid Society No. 2, 800 Total, $500.
There is still in the Mayors hands the
sum of 1914 65, which he will distribute to
deserving individuals as they are shown to
be worthy of charity.
Henry E. Robinson, the founder of the
fund, was a pioneer of 1849 He entered
into mercantile pursuits and soon accumu-
lated fortune, eventually returning to his
home in Norwalk, Conn.,, where he died,
June 10, 1880. He always had the liveliest in
terest in the State where he prospered, and
his will contained the following clause:
give and tequeath to the Mayor, Common
Council and commonality Of the city of San
Francisco the sum of $40 600, in trust, to be by
them and their successors invested to the best
advantage, the interest accruing thereon to be
paid out from time to time to the destitute
women and children of the city and county of
San Francisco, California in such manner as
such Mayor or Common Council may deem most
proper and beneficial.
During the past fourteen years many
hundreds of destitute people in this city
have had their suffering alleviated by do
nations from the fund

VIEWS OF A DEMOCRAT.
NOTHING COULD Do Us MORE
GOOD.

Joseph Leggett, who is a member of the
Democratic State Central Committee, said !:
should certainly like to see the Republican
convention brought here. A large number of
the delegates and their friends who would
come are among the leading men of the coun-
try, and among them are many members of
Congress, and it would be very beneficial for
them to see our city and our harbor and ascer-
tain our needs.
If we had had some former conventions here
we should have had less trouble with the Chi
nese question, and so with the railroad ques-
ton. l do not take any stock in the general
idea that the people of the East want TO do US
any harm They simply don't understand our
needs. There is good deal of narrowness in
legislation i'll regard TO this coast due TO the
fact that those who are responsible know moth
ing of US. They think US provincial commu-
nifty, cut off from the rest of the nation.
think trip out here would do them as much
good as it would do US.
Travel is useful to public servants every
where. In England, people going into public
life make it point to travel part of their
education. The men who make laws for the
whole of the United States should visit all
parts of it.

TO REACH Ships
In DISTRESS.
TEST BY THE LIFE-SAVERS OF THE
LATEST PROJECTION OF
LINES.
BY A WHALE-GUN
EVERY SHOT WAS SUCCESSFUL
PLEASING THE EXPERTS-AN
ARREST.

''The latest addition to the life-saving
service of the United States is the use of
whale-gun for the purpose of throwing
life lines to vessels in Distress" said Major
Blakeney, superintendent of the life-saving
service on this coast, yesterday, "and we
are here to test the new addition
This was said at the Fort Point station,
and without any ceremony the station
crew, under command of Captain Hodg-
son, were sent to the range to make the
test.
The gun is of brass, barrel and stock
measuring two feet nine inches, the barrel
itself being one foot seven inches long.
The bore is one inch in diameter and the
projectile, which is a steel bar weighing
one pound, fitting close into the barrel, is
forced out by means of half an ounce of
slow-burning common powder.
The range, which is along the bay shore,
has at one end firing post, to which the
gun is affixed; then there is staff with a

! flag at SO yards, another at SO yards and
mast with one yard across it at 120 yards.
The last represents the mast of vessel at
sea, while the others are used to determine
the drift of the line in its course.
The members of the crew, attired in neat
suits of navy-blue with the name of the
station in turkey-red across the breast of
the shirt, at the command of the captain
took the position to which each is assigned
at drill, and each performed his particular
duty with clock-like precision.
The first test was made with No line,
which is the smallest in the service, meas
uring but three -eighths of an inch in diam
eter, but as Captain Hodgson remarked,
sit is strong enough to hang a horse"
The gun was lashed to the top of the firing
post, the charge of powder, in a metallic
case, placed in the breech and the pro-
jectile, to which the line had been fast
ened, was driven home. The line which
had been removed from the faking-box,
lay in a tub held by one of the crew. The
taking" of the line is one of the nice

points in the service, for in this is the
secret of sending the line to its destination
without its being caught in a snarl. The
gun was adjusted to an elevation of 30
degrees and sighted to meet the wind,
which blew directly across the range and
is called by sailors ga beam wind" There
was sharp report, the projectile arose,
described graceful upward curve until it
reached height of nearly hundred feet,
then came down as gracefully, but rapidly,
carrying the line with it and fell little
beyond and to windward of the mast, but
the lifeline fell within six feet of it..
AS the projectile struck the ground Pro-
lessor George Davidson, who was an inter-
ested watcher of the experiment, ex-
claimed, "Four seconds" indicating the
time the projectile had taken to reach the
point at which it fell
THAT was not bad" remarked Major
Blakeney as he walked down the range to
observe all the points that are of interest
to the service. 'The projectile went some
way off, but the line fell all right 1t would
have been caught if the point where the
mast stands had been whitehall boat
The object of these guns" he continued, i'is
for use from the bow of the service boats
1t can be used when a Lyle gun, which
throws i26-pound proiectile, cannot be
used. If vessel is at point which cam
not be reached from the shore, and if men
in boat can get within 120 or 140 yards of
her they can fire lifeline to her. 1t is a
great idea, a grand idea, this of Captain
Hodgdon's, and it will no doubt soon be in
use in all the life-saving stations in the
United States.'
The official record of the first test is as
follows:
Time, seconds; charge of powder, half an
ounce; elevation, 80 degrees; drift of line at
80 yards, % feet; at 80 yards, 80 feet; at 100
yards, feet to windward; length of rope

STRIKERS ON TRIAL.
Contradictions Are Still the Order of
the Day.

Contradictions Are Still the Order of
the Day.
George w. West, assistant secretary of
the A. R. u, was the principal witness in
the trial of Cassidy and Mayne the Oak
land strikers, yesterday. w. H. Gray, one
of the Southern Pacific detectives, testified
that West was at tower on the Oakland
Mole on July 4, at the mole ferry slips
helping to kill engines on July and at
the Alameda Point roundhouse on July II.
West denied the first two assertions most
positively, and said he was only at Ala
media Point on July IL to keep the men
from committing any outrage. Gray also
testified that West pulled a pistol on him.
but the latter swore he had never carried a
pistol in his life and was prepared to
prove that fact.
During the cross-eXamination it was
brought out that since the trial began,
although under subpoena as a Govern
ment witness, West has been engaged in
Attorney Monteith's Office segregating the
evidence.
NJ. Compton of Sacramento was called as
a witness. He was a co-defendant with
Knox in the Sacramento trials. He testi-
fed that United States District ATTORNEY
Knight was acting as United States
Marshal Barry Baldwin's legal adviser
during the strike. That was, of course
prior to his appointment to his present
position. Knight was everywhere accord
ing to Compton, and in fact acted as Bald
wins mouthpiece. The case will be con-
tinued to-day.

IT CAN BE DONE.
AN OPPORTUNITY THAT SHOULD BE
GRASPED.

Wendell Easton, treasurer of the Repub-
hcan State Central Committee said:
1t would be great thing for the coast, ire
spective of politics. We came nearer than
people generally imagine to getting the Re-
publican national convention here four years
ago. was treasurer of the State Central Com
mittee at that time and am now and know
that we could raise all the funds necessary
too easily. 1t is an opportunity for US that we
should grasp.

we get the Republican convention I think we

Some of the greatest leaders in the Republic
can party are very friendly to this coast, and I
am sure that all the States west of the Mis-
souri, would help California in this matter, as
there is only one place west of Chicago in
which to hold convention, and that is San
Francisco. The silver question will help US,
too, think, for all silver men could be got to
unite on San Francisco. 1 believe that the
convention can be brought here.
1t will be very popular convention, as there
are number OF candidates, and there will be a
very large proportion of prominent men in at
tendance. 1t is not ut all unlikely that can
didate for the Vice-Presidency Will be chosen
from this coast, anyway, and if the convention
comes here think it will be almost a certainty.
1t would be OF great advantage to this coast to
have such a representative from California or
Oregon at Washington.
