CROSSED THE BAR
FOR THE UNKNOWN
Captain Millen Griffith
Passes Away at San
Rafael.
PIONEER OF THE STATE.
He Was One of the Best.Known
Men in Shipping and Min
ing Circles.
IN THE T0WB0AT BUSINESS.
Latterly He Had Been Suffering
Through Illness ard the End
Came as a Relief.
IN THE ToWBoAT BUSINESS.

Captain Millen Griffith, California pho.
neer and one of the best-known shipping
and mining men on the coast, died yester.
day morning at his residence in San Ra-
fael.
The immediate cause of death was stated
to be heart disease. He was said to have
been seriously indisposed for several
weeks, but the intelligence of his death
came upon his friends with shock.
Since the death of his wife on the 4th OF
July he never appeared the same man.
He closed his home at 500 Harrison street
and removed with three of his children to
San Rafael, where he rented the cottage
in which he died.
Captain Griffiths was a native of New
York State, where he was born seventy
one years ago. As boy he exhibited a
strong desire to go to sea- and at 16 he Sc
cured a berth as cabin-boy on an East In
diaman. In 1849 he rounded the Horn and
dropped anchor in the Bay of San Fran
cisco. In 1856 he was offered an interest
in the Tayo, large mining property in
Mexico, which was owned principally by
the wealthy Bradbury family.
The mine was at the time full of water
and in very bad condition generally, but
Griffiths went into the deal and the inter-
est which he bought paid him at the rate
of $4,000 month for over ten years.
About 1870, with Captain Goodall as an
associate, he entered the tugboat business,

Chief Crowley said yesterday that it was
not the intention of the police to interfere
with any of the inalienable rights of citi-

speculate on the probabilities as to who
will be appointed bank commissioner If
John W. Breidenthal should be sent to

himself as a candidate for this position
yet Some of the parties that were
discussing the question today seemed
to think that one of the present depu-

case there was vacancy. NJ A

deputies said when asked in regard
to the matter.
II am sure 7 have not thought
anything in regard to who will be ap-

NO INTERNATIONAL STRIKE.
Statement by Labor Leaders That
Trouble Won't Reach Other
Countries

New York. Nov 28.-Samuel Woods
and John MalinsOn, delegates OF the
British trades unions to the convention
of the American Federation of Labor
December arrived on the Cunard steam
ship Campania today. They were met
by Contract Labor Inspector Robert
WatchOrn an old friend and associate
union of the United States. Delegate
Woods has been for four years the sec
retary of the trades union and was
once q member of parliament for the
division of Lancashire
Delegate Woods said as he stepped
from the ship to the dock. II have not
heard about the strike of the Ham
burg and Kiel dock 1abOrers, but do
not believe that there will be an inter
national strike of dock 1aborers in sym
strike the moon,' said he. I'VE do not
believe in strikes nor do we believe n
arbitration; we prefer Cancellation.
I'VE know no political party in our
labor movement in England. Our con
StitutiOn fOrbids it. We are for labor
only I do not know what would be
best for the American workingman, but
I may be able to offer some sugges-
tions, after 1 have studied the local
color of the subject here.
THE British trades union is composed
of one and a quarter millions of work
ing men and Women-Women being an
important factor in our organization,
especially in the book binding indus
try.
Tn Great Britain trades unions are
the most important factors in regard
to wages and hours. We have in par

have ten labor leaders who are stipen-

HUNTING IN DARK WOODS
Has It's Inconvenience So Some To-
peka Hunters Find Out


Last Wednesday was the night it
rained all night.
1t was also the night Fred Kellam.
Jim Larimer. Fred Gordon and DIR. Viii
Adams of Eaton had chosen to go coon
hunting. Neither would give up and
there was a conflict
They went to Gordon's farm with
dog and waded around all night look
ing for coons without soaring up even
so much as a seven or eleven.
They did succeed in getting four
opossums. however, one each, and none
for the dog.
But the dog got even.
Just as they were about to start
home in the doubtful light Of the early
morning the dog treed something
Thirsting for more adventure the
four piled sleepily out. tied the team
and went to the aid of the dog.
The animal, they said, was on the
limb of a tree and all took several shots
at it.
Finally it fell down in their midst
very much alive and pretty mad
The young men say they escaped by
running and suffered no great personal
inconvenience excepting that the dog,
which stayed too long, insisted on be-
ing friendly and had to be shot and
buried with a liberal supply of lime
sprinkled over him.

CAN'T COME TO KANSAS.
Webb McNan Says Cantankerous
Eas terners Should be Quarantined.

Webb McNaH has a novel plan to stop
the abuse Of Kansas now being indulg-
ed in by eastern people and eastern pa
pers and he outlined it today to Senator
Sterne and a party Of friends in the
clerks office Of the United States court.
II think we ought to quarantine
against them. said he We ought to
keep them out Of the state. Our people are
so much above them in honesty and
general intelligence that we ought to
refuse to allow them to enter the state.
We co not need them and if they have
decided that our people are such terrible
crea lures il might be a good idea to not
allow them to associate with them"
The eastern papers with their usual
gullibility viii now probably take up
this remark with great solemnity and
discuss it as an actual plan Of the kan
Sas people.

J. W. RUSH WANTS A FUSS
Or Rat her He Wants His Fuss With
Vandivert Aired

Some of the friends of J. W. Rush have
been quietly agitating the question Of
trying to get the house to prefer articles
OF Impeachment against Judge S. W.
Vandivert. Several members of the legis-
lature have been approached on the sub
ject, but so far as can be learned these
gentlemen have given little encourage
ment to the project. The memories Of
the people of the state are too green in
regard to the articles that were preferred
against Judge Theodfus Botkin and the
subsequent trial Of the case and the ex-
pense thereby incurred, and as the whole
matter between Judge Vandivert and Mr..
Rush started in transaction between
them some time ago and has already
been tried by them in the newspapers it
is thought by the members of the COM
ing legislature that they ought to finish
their trial in the form in which they be-
gan it.
