The crew on the vessel Of which the man was

men are thrown in contact with their superiors
more than they would be in other Vesseis, ana
the lines of demarcation between officer ana

The vessel will toss and roll In the heavy seas
and the strain on the anchor-chain will be tire

rushing and whirling waters which break upon
the Diamond Shoal, but all plans for lighting
the place successfully have failed
The Board finally adopted a plan for a per-

On las: Tuesday evening six more
names were added TO the long list of MEM

and four applications were presented to
be acted upon at the next meeting. The
names of the new members are: James
Feehan of the Hastings Law College.
Archie j. Campbell, William Mulherpe,
William Fox. Edward O'Brien and Frank
Mayo OF the Olympic Club.
AT the same meeting the club decided
| to bring an action against the Acme Club
OF Oakland for damages sustained through
the loss OF the barge Garfield. which the
South Ends had loaned to the Acme Club
and which was afterward destroyed by
| fire in the latter clubs boathouse. Al

Phllo Jacoby's Misfortune The
Schuetzen Clubs Festival.
The California Schuetzen Club, which is
one OF the oldest and strongest rifle-shoot-
ing societies in America, is making very
extensive preparations for its annual pic
mic and prize-shooting festival at Schuet-
zen Park, San Rafael, on April4
Forty cash prizes are offered for ring
target-shooting. running from 81 to $40
and over $1,000 in cash and iewelry will be
given for the honorary target contests
Several other handsome. prizes amour ting
to several hundred dollars will be awarded
to the successful competitors in other
forms OF shooting.
The style of shooting will be offhand.
Judging from the large mum bers OF people
who have signifed their willingness to
compete In the sports of the day, Schuet-
zen Park will have an enormous crowd on
the afternoon of April 4.
Ihe regular monthly medal shooting of
the Germania Schuetzen Club will take
place tomorrow at Shell Mound Park.
The Nord Deutscher Schuetzen Club
will hold tomorrow at Shell Mound Park
Its regular monthly bullseye shooting
matches.
The many friends of Philo Jacoby will
regret to learn that the famous old war
rlor and celebrated rifle shot is at present
confined to his room at 118 Grant avenue
with wounded knee, which was caused
Dy fall. 1t is hoped that Philo will
quickly recover from his injury and once
again be seen at the ranges, as there is no
sound as musical to his ear as the "bark''
OF Schuetzen Club rifle.

Yesterday Miller. SIoss & Scott gave
120new shovels to be used upon the toule-

OF lumber for the construction o. tool

ton gave hinges. a ock and keg OF 10
penny nails. James III. Barry furnished
the application blanks and did other
printing without charge.
At the headqua; ters of the unemployed
there was another mass-m meeting last
night. The proposition of incorporation
was discouraged on the ground that it was
plan OF a few to get the funds, stop is
suing food and eventually share the
money after the majority should leave in
disgust. During the general discussion
the relief committee was voted out of Of
fee without hint of thanks for its ser
vices and with suggestions of favoritism in
issuing selected old clothes. In its place
committee of five was elected to buy to-
day $50 worth of provisions.
1t is estimated that only about third
of those who registered for work were
from the organized unemployed. many of
whom are opposed to the possibility OF
getting only dollar day.
