Effect of Cold Salt Water When
Pumped Into the Feed-Re-
ceives Official Investi-
cation

The United States Inspectors OF Local
and Foreign Steam Vessels have complet-
ed the investigation into the charges
made by H. J. Corcoran against Chief
Engineer +. W. Patterson and Assistant
Engineer F. Huber Of the steamer Mary
CARAT, the property Of the California
Navigation and Improvement Company.
Mr.. Corcoran is the manager Of that COM
pany.
Mr.. Corcoran charged the accused with
having been guilty of carelessness neglf-
gence and inefhciency during the period
from September 10 10 October II, In that
they pumped cold salt water into the boil
ers of the steamer, that they left the fur
mace doors open to prevent the steam
pressure from rising while the boat was
at the landings, and that they did not
keep the bridge walls clean, thereby caus-
ing the boilers to leak in their girth
seams. The Inspectors report states
that the witnesses proved that the boilers
were leaky and that the top Of the bridge
walls was covered with about three inches
Of debris.
Huber and Patterson denied that they
pumped cold salt water into the boilers. and
insisted that the water was warm. This
they pumped into the feed IN small guam
titles just prior to blowing down the boil
ers for the purpose of removing the scale.
The testimony further shows that while
J, J. Holland was chief engineer last April
the regular feed pump broke down
-
was reported to Mr.. Corcoran, who, not
withstanding, allowed the steamer to
make two round trips to San Francisco
while repairs were being made. This ne
cessitated the use of the deck pump in
pumping the cold feed water into the boil
ers during that time.
The Inspectors say this was certainly
not beneficial 10 the boilers, carrying, as
they do, 40 pounds Of steam, though Hol-
land testified that they did not leak at
that time. The accused deny opening the
furnace doors
I'm our Judgment" the Inspectors went
on to say, the testimony does not sustain
the charges, which are therefore dis
missed We agree with Manager Cor
coran that the engineer on watch should
visit the boilers of the steamer. The boil
ers Of the Mary CARAT, however, are at
least 100 feet distant from the engine
room, hence during such watch, in order
to perform the necessary duty of looking
after the boilers the engineer must absent
himself several times from his engine
room, leaving IT in charge of an unlicensed
man, there being but one engineer in each
watch.
I'VE do not incline to Cypress steamboat
owners, but with the foregoing in mind
we believe ii our duty in the interest Of
the Inspection service and for the safety
o. Ire on board to require an additional
licensed engineer to be carried On the
mary CARAT and all other steamers of
her class"

The committee on streets of the Board

and considered a number of important
matters The question Of granting an ex-
tension of one years time to the People s

erected within the fire limits than are abb

business Afterward the committee on
streets will favorably consider the appli-

Gross Extravaganza Is
Charged.
INDICTMENTS ARE EXPECTED
HARRINGTON AND WALLER ARE
EXAMINED.
Registrar Buggy to Be Complimented
for Efficiency In a Special
Report From That
August Body.

The Grand Jury met last evening to
consider election cases and to probe into
the financial affairs of the School Board.
Subpoenas had been issued for Presi-
dent Darlington of the Board of Educa-
ton, Chairman Waller Of the finance com
mittee, Secretary Charles Welsh of the
School Board and Auditor Broderick
Welsh was present with detailed state
ment of the finances OF the board and
other information bearing upon the ex-
penditures.
The Grand Jury has fully determined to
make things hot for the School Board
believing that there has been gross de-
reelection Of duty and perhaps worse in
the handling of the school funds Espe-
cial attention will be directed toward the
bills for equipping Mission High School
with furniture, apparatus, etc., the cost
having been somewhere in the neighbor-
hood Of $4,000. President Darlington has
refused to sign some of these bills
The fact has leaked out that thousands
Of dollars have been expended recently
by the various committees without Sc
curing the consent of the board. The sup
ply committee has gone ahead and equip
sponsibility, and is charged with gross
extraYagance, inasmuch as the School
Board had no money to expend in the
purchase or high-priced desks laboratory
equipment, etc.
There is reason to believe that several
indictments will result.
The Grand Jury last night returned a
new indictment against Mrs. Botkin for
the murder of Mrs. Dunning, a technical
flaw having been discovered in the indict
ment previously found.
Registrar Buggy is to be complimented
by the Grand Jury in a special report
and his efficiency In office will be dweit
upon at length. AT the same time the
Board Of Election Commissioners will
come In for roast on account of the way
in which hoodlums, Senegambians and
others We're appointed as judges and
clerks Of election.
