PETERS, LIGHTS WERE
CARRIED INB0ARD
COULD BE HIDDEN FROM VIEW
BY PASSENGERS.
Investigation Into the Bay Collision
Concluded and Case Submitted.
Decision in Ten Days.

The official investigation into the recent
bay collision between the steamers Peters
and Czarina was concluded yesterday
afternoon by Inspectors BolleS and Bull
ger and the case was submitted. Clement
Bennett, who was sworn in as United
States stenographer, will now transcribe
the evidence which will cover several
hundred typewriter pages. The inquiry
has been an exhaustive one and has been
conducted with much dignity as a jul
dicial trial. The inspectors will render
decision as to where the blame lies in
about ten DAYS
Chief Engineer David N Miller of the
Peters was the first witness on the stand
yesterday. He testified that when the
collision occurred he was coming out of
the Chinese steerage, having left Assist
ant Engineer -Beare in charge of the en-
gines a short time before. Miller had
gone below to inspect the electric light
plant, as the lights on the Peters were
not burning as brightly as usual. He said
his assistant, Beare, had no right to leave
the throttle of his engine as he had testi-
fled he had done Miller said he had
sometimes left the electrician of the
steamer to mind the engines, when he
(Miller) had other work to do. The cleo
trician is not a licensed officer If the en-
gines stopped the lights would go out.
and If they slowed up the lights would
diminish in brilliancy, as the dynamos
were run by the engines He thought the
drowned Cinnamon had ample time to get
out of the steerage, as he warned them at
least two minutes before the vessels came
together.
Captain Houldsworth of the Peters was
recalled and made the startling admission
that the side lights on his boat were car
ried inboard three feet above the hurri-
cane deck and were liable to be obstruct-
ed from view by the passengers who used
the hurricane deck forward as prone
made. He did not know whether they
were so INSTRUCTED on the night of the
disaster. He could not state the approx
mate damage sustained by the Peters and
had not yet made a wreck report.
Captain Seaman said that in his report,
filed with the Custom-house, he had
placed the damage to the Czarina at

The. Forcible Closing of Courtroom
Said to Be an offense Against

nifty.
Oakland ONCE San Francisco Gail

9OS Broadway, NOV. 10
The parties who attached the furniture
of Justice IIard's courtroom in Alameda
on Wednesday last may have to pay
heavily for so doing. Not only was the
furniture attached, but the officials also
locked up the courtroom, and it is said
this is an offense against the dignity of
the State of California.
Justice Hard has stated that he will
probably bring suit for $4,000 damages
against the parties responsible for the
outrage on his temple of justice. 1t is
true that Justice Hard in his Alameda
court was not overburdened with business,
but the room was a bona-fde courtroom,
and as such is said to be exempt from at
tachment. This is the first time IN Ala
media County-and perhaps in this State,
where a courtroom has been attached ana
closed because of a personal debt OF the
Justice of the Peace.
Justice Hard has had q hard time since
he was first appointed by the supervisors
about six months ago 70 take the place OF
the aged jurist Judge SWaSey. The Audi
tors office shows that for nearly the
whole time Mr.. Hard has been qu5a!lned
to dispense justice in Alameda ne dld not
make q dollar and had nothing 70 report
AT the recent election Justice HARD ran
as an independent candidate he was
beaten by the old standby, justice H. l.
Morris. and soon afterward his courtroom
was attached; hence the interesting Sltua-
ton that has arisen.
