To be kept thoroughly well posted
on the news OF such an eventful year
as 1896 promises to be, a person
should read the columns of a live,
wide-awake metropolitan paper be-
sides the country or local newspaper.
Now is the proper time to begin a
yearly subscription, which will cover
the presidential campaign, the great
speeches, the November election and
the outcome of all the wars and
troubles abroad. If intending sub
scribers will heed word of advice
they will send 81 to the Twice a
Week Republic. They will receive
in return twice every week for a
year a copy of the spiciest, newsiest
and most entertaining newspaper in
the country. The Twice-a-Week Re-
public will make a specially of Civ
ing all the political news and speeches
on both sides and at the same time
keep up the very entertaining de-
partment it has always contained.
A big inducement is offered to
those who become so interested that
only a daily metropolitan will meet
their wants. The daily and Sunday
Republic has been reduced to only
SO year or SO for six months.

naiI-owners OF the steamer, Petermann being
named IN the outstanding papers as managing
owner The latter filed written notice that
ne had appointed Richard E. Barron as master
IN place of Nicolal Moller. Barron took the
oath, and you Endorsed his name as master.
Moller claims, in his written protest, that he
was not aware a change was being made: that
you hao no authority "to make change;
that he and Petermann had agreed that the
latter should attend to the shore business and
Moller be master, and that he served as such
from July l, 1898, to the time of his displace-
ment.
ii the complainant had filed protest prior to
the change being made, or if he had served
written notice on your office not TO make the
change, it would not have been made unless
you had been otherwise instructed; that your
office cannot know OF personal difficulties be-
tween owners of vessels, and can act in such
cases only as the managing owner requests,
without regard to private agreements existing
you report, therefore, that you cannot see that
your office acted in any manner contrary to
Flaw, justic and equity"
Prior TO April, 1872, a master could be dis
possessed under the circumstances OF the
present case, except by due process OF law,
and the act OF Congress OF that date merely
authorized such dispossession by majority of
the owners, and not then If there was an
agreement dated prior to April 10, 1872, by
virtue of which he had possession part
owner, unless by action of q court OF compe-
tent jurisdiction.
The department holds that Moller was not
lawfully dispossessed; that on the presenta-
ton of the vessels documents he should be
permitted to take the requisite oath, and
that thereupon the change should be indorsed
by the customs officers, as the law and regula-
tions prescribe (section All, r. S.). Any de-
cree OF a competent court, however, should be
duly observed.
Please take action accordingly. Respectfully
yours S. WIKE, Assistant Secretary.

.REORGANZE THE BOARD,
Request of the Peoples Home
Bank Depositors to the
Commissioners.
Directors Who Have No Interest in
the Wrecked Concern Will Be
Asked TO Resign.

Since the court has not granted the re-
lief asked by the associated depositors OF
the Peoples Home Savings Bank an ef-
tort has been made TO reorganize the
board of directors of that institution.
Some directors who have no interest in
the bank have determined to resign and
thus be rid of the many annoyances asso-
ciated with their Office. They are slow,
however, in carrying their determination
into effect, and for that reason the at
torneys. Messrs. Gunnison, Booth and
Bartnett, representing depositors, have
sent the following letter to the Bank Com
missioners req Nesting them TO reorganize
the banks directory:
To the Honorable the Board of Bank Conn
sioners of the State Of California, San Francisco,
edL.-GENTLEMEN: we lnclose you herewith
the opinion OF the Hon. J. NJ. Seawel, judge
of our Superior Court, in the proceeding
brought by the California Sale Deposit and
Trust Company against S. K. Thornton and
others, the said proceeding having been In
stituted in that certain action entitled the
People of the State of California, etc., VS.. the
Peoples Home Savings Bank.
The opinion, while not approving certain Of
the acts OF the manager and officers of said
bank nevertheless Is adverse 10 the conten-
tions made by US. AT the close OF the argu-
ment of Mr.. Carpenter, the counsel for de-
statement TO the court that certain OF his eli
ents who were defendants in this action, had
no interest in the bank and intended TO resign
from the directory, but that they did not deem
ii indiclous to retire in the face OF these pro-
ceedings We have had the promise of at least
one OF your honorable Commissioners that an
effort would be made to reorganize the direc-
tory of said bank in such way as to give the
depositors representation on the board. We
are of the opinion that such step would be in
the interest of all intere ted in said bank.
We therefore respectfully direct the atten-
ton of your honorable board to this matter,
and ask that you give 1t such attention as in
your opinion the Importance of the matter
demands. Respectfully submitted,
GUNNIsoN, BOOTH & BARNETT,
Attorneys for the California Safe Deposit
and Trust Company.
The attorneys take cheerful view of
the situation and say that one Com mis-
sioner promised to reorganize the People s
Bank management so that depositors
would have representation on the board
of directors. This desired change would
Place the banks affairs il control of men
whose money is at stake.
Great expectations are held by the ex-
ecutive committee of the depositors that q
dividend of Is or 20 per cent will be de-
clared next January, provided that the
Los Angeles street railways are purchased
by the English syndicate represented by
Charles Buffers. The bank is heavily in
terested in bonds of these consolidated
lines.

Trouble Among Those Interested in

COLLECTOR WISE REVERSED.

Collector of the Port Wise has just re-
ceived from the Treasury Department a
decision in a case recently submitted
to the Washington authorities which will
be of great interest to ship-owners and
the masters of vessels, touching as it does
the business status of the two when the
masters are part owners of the vessels
under their command.
F. II. ]. Petermann and Nicolai Moller
are each half-owners in the steamer
Mount Eden. the former as managing
owner and the latter as master. Some
months ago they quarreled and Peter
mann as managing owner dismissed Mol
ler and appointed Richard E. Barron in
his place.
Moller appealed the matter to the Col
lector of the Port, and Mr.. Wise decided
that Petermann had kept within his
rights, and was justified from legal
point of view in dismissing Moller. The
latter entered formal protest against the
action and lodged it with the Collector,
who sent it to Washington. The result
was the following opinion, which is final
unless the matter is taken into court:

WHY HE WAS STRUCK
Aftermath of the Fracas in George
Davis Fruitstore on Leayen-
worth Street.


Davis Fruitstore on Leaven-
worth Street.
The fracas at the fruitstore of George
Davis, 220k Leavenworth street, Tuesday
night, when revolver was discharged,
b as led to serious trouble for Davis.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Katharine
Coffits 22O Leavenworth street, swore to a
com plant in Judge Joaehimsen's court
for the arrest of Davis on charge of of
fensive conduct toward Edna Kelly, a
little girl years of age. Davis was ar
rested and booked at the City Prison, and
few hours later another charge of ex-
hibiting deadly weapon was registered
against him.
The man who struck Davis Tuesday
night was William Barrett, who lives
above Davis store, and the reason why he
struck was because of his offensive con-
duct toward the little girl, who is Bar
rett's niece.
Barrett was arrested on a complaint
sworn to by Davis charging him with bat
tery and was released on bail. Barrett
will this morning swear to a complaint
charging DAVIS with assault with deadly
weapon, as he says he can prove that
Davis revolver was not accidentally dis.
charged, but on the contrary that Davis
fred the shot at him.
