REVIVAL OF AN INDUSTRY
A Glass.Bottle Factory Opening
With Nearly Three Hundred
Employees.
As Consequence Of the Republic ar
Victory These Workmen Will
Be Happy.

One of the signs of returning prosperity
is TO be seen in the opening of the Sar
Francisco and Pacific Glass Works at Sew
enth and Townsend streets. Some month:
ago these works closed down under the
pressure of dull times. AS the campaign
wore on, the proprietors of the works be-
came convinced that Mckinley would be
elected. So they took advantage of the
depression in business and made extensive
lterations in the plant, with vie of re-
opening after election.
I'VE guessed pretty WE'LL" said Super
intendent Davis yesterday, when we con-
cluded that Nc kinley would be the next
President OF the United States. 1t was
then that we determined to prepare for
prosperous times and to be in shape for
meeting outside competition for Pacific
Coast business.
scale With thirty men. Next Monday we
VIII put between 100 to $50 men at work.
and the following Monday will be ready
to have between 200 and 500 men, BOYS
and girls steadily employed. Then our
works viii be in full operation. We pro-
pose TO pay ont for LABOR alone at lea st
$150, 600 year and as much more for ma
teriai. all OF which is got in California ex-
cept the soda ash.
The industry is very profitable one to
the Pacific Coast. Most OF the bottles
used on the coast come from Europe and
the East, but now with assurances of pro-
lection and good times we don't propose
to have any foreign bottles coming in
hereafter. Formerly we could only sup.
ply San Francisco and small district
around the City, but now we are ready for
the whole coast business"
The works have been remodeled, with
crude petroleum furnaces in place OF the
Old coal retorts, and the capacity will be
so increased that about 200 tons of glass
can be melted at one time. With the new
system the industry can be carried on
profitabiy ard the blowers paid
from 81 to $6 a day.

County now demands the champ pion fac
from Alameda as the banner Republican
county.
The champions of Marin allege that.
although Alameda County gave big ma.
iority for Mckinley, it was only 66L per
cent of the whole vote. whereas Marin
County's majority is 66H per cent of the
vote of Marin County.
Alameda demands the flag from Los
Angeles, and Los Angeles will return it to
Alameda, from which county it wrested
the Republican championship several
years ago, but Marin has stepped into the
ring and declares her intention of fiehtine
for the trophy.
The Marin men are very much wrought
up about the matter. 1t would be dam
gerous for any one anywhere, except on
the top of Mount Tamalpais. to speak OF
the matter in light or flippant vein.

GIVES CHASE To
POACH|NG CRAFT
Steamer Pacheco leaves
San Diego in Quest of
Trespassers.
Sent to Capture Vessels at the
Guano Islands Off the
Mexican Coast.
SEEKS FOR EIGHT OFFENDERS.
Concessionsires Attempt to Enforce
the Payment of Large
Royalties.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Nov. THE
steamer Pacheco, which sailed from here
Wednesday night, ostensibly on its regu-
lar trip to San Quintin and way ports in
Lower California, is now said to be
on a chase after eight guano- poaching
schooners which are believed TO be
gathered in Vizcaino Bay. These craft
are the Junk Acme, Captain Chase, and
The Pekin. CAPTAIN Moodlin; the schooners
Ellen, Captain Jinsen; WahIberg, Cap.
tain Martin; Hongkong, Captain Horn
stein; Alta, Captain Fsrwell; Sailor Boy,
Captain Edwardson, and Ida, Captain
Atwood.
Most of these schooners sailed from
this port the latter part of October and
are now probably at the Guano Islands
These islands are about $50 ni,e south of
San Diego. All of them were formerly
covered with guauo and have kept q feet
of small craft busy carrying the fertilizer
TO this port. The deposits are owned by
the Mexican Land and Colonization Com
pany, which has concession from the
Government for all the fisheries and de-
posits on the peninsula coast. The COM
pany claims a royalty of 81 so per ton and
the Ensenada customs off cials impose
port charges OF about $40 on each schooner.
The shippers say this is too much to make
the business profitable, and therefore they
run down and get The guano and bring it
10 San Diego without stopping to visit the
Ensenada officials or to render an account
to the company.
When .. J. Creweread assumed the
management OF the company few weeks
ago he served notice on the guano-poach-
ers that they would be prosecuted for
further encroachments on the company's s
preserves. The present trip OF the Pacheco
is for the purpose of experimenting the
schooners. Last year the Pacheco made a
similar trip and overlook the schooner
Pekin at San Martin Island. Two BOYS
were on the island gathering guano and
another on the schooner. The schooner
got away, but the steamer captured the
boys on the island. together with 900
sacks Of guano. Tie boys, Wilbur Dane
and William Forest, are now serving a
sentence OF eighteen months in the En-
senada jail.

WIEL DING RODS
ON STOW LAKE
Second Annual Tournament
of the Fly-CaSting
Club.
Champion Harry Golcher Failed
to Reach the Record
Distance.

The San Francisco Fly-casting Club
held its annual tournament Yesterday at
Stowe Lake, and a more perfect day for
fiy-casting could not be desired.
In the forenoon, while the long-distance
casting contest was in progress, a sharp
wind was blowing from the northeast
1t greatly interfered with the casters who
were unable to cast a straight line against
it. II. c. Golcher, the champion long
distance OF America, tried hard to equal
his record OF 103 feet, but he failed by IA
feet. After the contests were over he took
to the platform again, and although the
wind favored him somewhat he was un-
able to cover more than 80 feet, which feat
was, however, loudly applauded.
Henry Skinner. who is the nearest cp-
ponent TO Mr.. Golcher in long-distance
casting has been nursing sore arm for
some months, and although the effort
must have caused him much suffering he
managed 10 run out SO feet, which is a
very poor performance for an angler who
has frequently IN practice reached the So
yard mark. Messrs Lowry and Edwards
accredited themselves very we'll consider.

this particular style.
The result of the contest is IS follows:

THE MYSTERY CT A MOTIVE

Michael Seeligsohn, of the firm o.
Rankin & Seeligsohn, a young and
prosperous lawyer, well-to-do and well
connected, has, in the opinion OF the
Morgue officials, committed suicide. His
body, weighted with rocks, was found
floating in the bay off Goat Island by III.
E. Nicholson and r. T. HoDurg while out
yaching last evening.
The body was towed to Miss;on-street
wharf by the zach tsman and the Coroner S
office notified.
The case is a very mysterious one. De-
ceased. who was 35 years of age, had been
enjoying lucrative practice ana, with the
exception of slight affection of the
throat, was vigorous and healthy.
A week ago last Wednesday he left his
lodgings, 500 Powell street. where he had
been rooming for three years prior to his
death. He did not again return, and the
proprietor of the house, Joe Cohnreich,
notified his brother, ABE SeelIgsohn
editor of the Jewish Progress, and his
sister, Mrs. Simon, wife of E. Simon ofthe
firm of Simon & Jacobs.
Mr.. Simon concluded that his brother
in-law had left the City for Tucson, where
he had a brother living.
But little was thought of the matter
until yesterday, when u. Seeligsohn. also
a brother of deceased. called at 300 Powell
street in search of the suicide.
He was worried at the mysterious dis
appearance and was about to telegraph
his brother at Tucson, when he was in
formed that the body had been found.
The family was greatly surprised TO hear
of the death of Mr.. Seeiigsohn and would
hardly believe that he had committed
suicide. There were no marks of violence
on the body, however, and the fact the
pockets were filled with rocks was thought
to dispel all theory of foul play.
Last evening Z. Simon of 1911 Van
Ness avenue, brother-fn-law of the de-
ceased, stated that he was sure that his
relative had met with foul p'av.
He had started East on business, and at
the time of his departure he was known to
have had valuable diamond ring and
diamond pin besides large sum of money.
Mr.. Simon does not know the amount.
He and his friends believe that the lawyer
fell among footpads, who murdered him
for his property. and after weight;ng the
body threw it into the bay. The police
will be asked 10 investigate the case.

trdl Commfttee-DEAR SIR: / notice that Ala
meda county claims the champion flag as the
panher republican county of California. L
nave spoken III relation TO this matter with
members OF Your body. and have been told
that 1t was question of percentage. If that
be the case, hereby give notice that Marin
oouh'y claims that banner. Respectfully,
c. c. BRUCE
Ben Markedly is wild in his desire for
the banner.
.Pll tell you what we'll do" he said to
CALL re porter yesterday. "We'll go over
In body to Alameda and take that flag
on Monday. We won't take it to-day, be-
cause we have no desire to spoil the Oak
land parade tonight. That flag is ours"
Members of the Oakland Alliance Club
say that the Marin County Club will never
see the banner unless they go over to Ala
media County to see it.
j. w. Lydecker of Alameda saws that
Alameda County is entitled to the flag and
will have ii. He always understood that
the contest was between Alameda and Los
Angeles. That is what the flag was made
for in the first place. Small cow counties
were not eligible.
Senator Eli Denison, who caused all the
trouble by having the flag made in the
first place, remarked last night in accents
OF cutting sarcasm that the Marines
should at least have had the decency to
wait for the official count before claiming
the flag.
This being heard by Bruce. that ge ntle-
man retorted with sarcasm of equal inten-
sity, whats the matter with Denison? I
think It was a very discourteous act on
the part OF the Alameda swamplanders to
send 10 Los Angeles for the flag before
even the returns were all in."
Secretary Higgins said that if the cham
pionship were to be decided on percent
age basis some small county with ten or
hfteen votes would get the flag. The
State Central Committee had nothing 10
do with it, he said. The flag had been
made by order of Senator Denison, and
Alameda and Marin would have to fight
it out.

Marie Zwall, 36 years of age, wife of
Schelte Zwall, a tent maker, residing a,
11S Valencia street, committed suicide in
her home last evening by drinking a
quantity of carbolic acid.
According to the statements OF Mr..
Zwall the suicide was caused by domestic
trouble.
My wife and had quarrel over some
trivial affair" he said to Deputy Coroner
Hailet, land she ran into a back room and
swallowed dose of poison.
II hurried for physician, but he could
do nothing for my wife and she died in
few. minutes. l don't know what she
could have been thinking of when she
drank the acid. Our quarre. amounted
to nothing and couldn't have caused her
TO kill herself"
The suicide was a comely appearing
