WATER FRONT PRIVILEGES.
Steamship Companies Have No Right
to Pebble Them Out.

The action of the Morton Transfer Com
pany against the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company, decided yesterday in the Su-
preme Court, brought to the surface the
facts of how certain privileges on the
water front had been peddled-facts of
which the general public had been ignor-
ant. The Harbor Commissioners grant
ed to the steamship company the ex-
elusive privilege of landing it's vessels at
Broadway wharves l and 2. The Morton
brothers desired the privilege of soliciting
business on these wharves upon the ar
rival of the company's steamers, but they
were denied this.
Action was brought against the COM
pany to secure the privilege desired. In
the lower court an interesting feature
was brought out. 1t seems that the COM
pany had given the Pacific Transfer Com
pany the exclusive right to solicit business
the Ok oent ct to bd the ro
of the transfer business. Inc lower cou.lJ
granted the relief sought, and the steam
ship company appealed to the Supreme
Court. The appeal was in vain, for in the
decision the Justices say:
These Harbor Commissioners had the right
to grant to the steamship company only those
rights and interests which the statute declares
the water front delegated by the statute to
the Commissioners may be exercised by them
powers and no part of that control to third
parties The trial court made find
business of the steamship company in the use
of these piers does not demand that these
plaintiffs should be excluded therefrom upon
the arrival of vessels. In other words, the
presence upon these piers of the plaintiffs
soliciting business upon the arrival of defend
ants vessels is not an infringement upon the
defendants use. But ii may be said in
conclusion that this matter of granting or re-
fusing privileges of the kind here involved is a
matter with the Harbor Commissioners alone,
and a matter which they should control and
manage by reasonable rules and regulations.

RAPHAEL's BIG DINNER.
A Thanksgiving Repast That Is Set
Before Uncle Sam and His Ga
lazy of Fighting Admirals.

1t is a dinner Of Thanksgiving indeed
that the Raphaels have sperad in the
show windows of their big Kearny street
clothing house for the delectation of
Uncle Sam and his popular heroes-Mc-
Kinley, Dewey, Schley and Sampson.
Round table bright with snowfest
linen and glistening glass stands the din
ing party. Uncle Sam, as the guest of
honor, is smiling at the head of the table
and is bowling his acknowledgements as
President Mckinley, disclaiming all credit
for himself, presents the trio of fighting
admirals as the men to whom the country
is thankful for the meal that is spread
on its Thanksgiving table And what
a meal it is! There is the Phil
ippine turkey that Dewey pIucked
SO easily from the Spanish roost in the
Philippines, and the Cuban fowl that was
brought in by Sampson and Shafter.
while there is another bird of the same
feather that Schley caught mapping at
Porto Rico. AS his own modest little do
nation the President points to still an
other OF the traditional Thanksgiving
birds that bears the new Hawaiian trade
mark From the four quarters of the
globe was that dinner brought, and with
the fruits of victory that are heaped up

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Rabbi Myers Says Their Carelessness
Threatens the Jewish Race
With ABSORPTION.

In his sermon yesterday morning Rabbi
Isidore Myers of the Congregation Ohabi
Shalome talked plainly to the wives and
mothers-shOwed them where they were
neglecting their duty and pointed out the
probable results of carelessness in the
bringing up of children
His text was the words of Elisha, the
prophet, to the Shunamite woman: us
1t well with you? Is 1t well with your
husband? Is it well with your child?''
I'm those days. said the rabbi, 1.-THE
women were held to be the guiding stars
of the homes The home was a sanctu-
airy, the wife and mother its priesteSs.
THE Jewish mother in modern times
must recognize the tremendous RESPONSE
btlity resting upon her She must train
her children to be at once good citizens
and good Jews, so that they will be a
source of joy and happiness to her in old
age. Many mothers are too selfish and
others are too indulgent. If the children
in after life drift away from religion and
virtue the mother Will have to answer for
her neglect. The future of Judaism de-
ponds upon the influence exercised by
Jewish wives. Too many are letting their
children ape the evil traits of the Gen
tiles without rebuke. The result will be
that when they grow up to be men and
women they will have forgotten the reli-
gion of their fathers, and the Jewish race
in this part of the country, at least, will
be a thing of the past"

rs IT COURT-MARTIALp
Army Officers Believe Captain Choyn-
ski Must Stand Trial.

The report of First Lieutenant John B.
Bennett, aid to Major General Merriam,
regarding his investigation into the re-
ports that have been circulated about the
officers of Battery B, California Heavy
Artillery, now stationed at Fort Baker,
has been completed and filed with Adju-
tant General Babcock The report con-
tains a number of Enclosures and the rec
ommendation of Lieutenant Bennett as a
result of the same. The report not only
deals with the alleged unmilitary con-
duct of the officers, but it also takes up
the matter of the reports made against
Lieutenant HUE, who is said to be short
in his accounts as canteen officer.
The report has not as yet been submit
ted by Adjutant General Babcock to Cen
eral Merriam, and until General Merriam
receives 1t nothing will be done. What
ever action may be the result of the In
vestigation made by Lieutenant Bennett
it will have to come from General Mer-
Ram. Some officers are inclined to be-
Iieve that the o-1cers of the battery will
be only reprimanded while others main
tain that a court-martial cannot be
avoided, claiming that even Major Cen
eraI Merriam, as department commander,
dares not set the precedent OF allowing
such conduct to go unpunShed II 1t IS
supported by the investigation. General
Merriam will in all probability follow
whatever recommendation is made by
Lieutenant Bennett.
