HAMMER THEORY EXPLODED.
Result of the Autopsy Upon the Body
of Captain Henry of the Cyrus
Wakefield.

The body Of Captain F. T. Henry. mas
ter OF the ship Cyrus Wakefield, was talk
en- 20 the Morgue yesterday and an autop-
sy was held upon It by DR.. Zabala. The
body was very much decomposed, death
having occurred on June II OF this year.
and for that reason the condition OF the
internal organs could not be determined.
A careful examination was made OF the
skull and Il was found intact. There was
a scar about an inch and half long on
the right side OF the head about three
inches above the ear, but the skull was
not fractured, and the wound, in the judg-
ment Of DR.. Zabala, could not by any pos
sibility have been the cause or death.
next Monday morning. and DR.. Zabala
will report that he has been unable 10 de-
termine the cause of death and that the
scalp wound was superficial and not NOR
tai.
The theory held by part OF the crew
IS that the captain was killed by the blow
of q hammer.

FACILITIES ARE
LACKING At THE
STATES DOCKS
No Room Is There for
Big Graft.

Shippers and business men generally in
this city. IL. common with shrewd observ-
ers In all parts OF the United States. an
ticipate that the commerce and shipping
OF san Francisco will steadily expand.
There is an 'if' in the minds OF some
concerning the extent TO which the very
desirable expansion will be possible IL
there are not proper facilities. A crying
lack. according TO prominent citizens. Is
the !nadequacy OF the States wharfage
accommodations. II is said BY them that
there is no wharf except the Pacific Mail
dock whore a large steamer OF the most
modern type can be easily accommo-
dated. IL they further say, I'VE are 10
be in the most advantageous position
possible FOR the handling OF flrst-class
vessels. and We ought not 10 be content
ed with anything less. We must certainly
have larger wharves."
T. Carey Friedlander. whose position as
secretary OF the San Francisco Produce
Exchange brings him into close touch
with the shipping men and the shipping
problems OF this port, has decided views
on the necessity Of providing better and
more extensive facilities for the COM
merce OF san Francisco by sea
Il am firmly convinced" said Mr..
/ Friedlander. that the seawan ought to
/ be extended southerly as soon as posi-
/ bic. At the rate OF progress we have
/ made in s,awau building II will take US
/ many years 10 get through with the work

the action taken by the California Jockey
Club. In the first place, Corrigan Is a

cord wherever he has influence. In the
second place. his methods are not such
as to recommend him TO honest sports
men. He wants something more than the
even chances OF the game. and horsemen
intend that ne shall have only what he
deserves.
This is not the first rebuke that Corri-
gan has received this year. The stewards
Of the jockey clubs met in September and
barred him from suCh Eastern tracks as
Morris Park. The stewards did not want
him on these tracks and refused MIN a
trainers license, without which he can
rot race his horses. He is barred. there

that he had no interest in TanfOran. The
fact remains. however, that races are ar
ranged 10 suit his conditions his satellites
are in the stand and advantages for victo-
rieS are unfairly placed in his hands.
These facts are matters OF common gos-
sip. They have passed the stage Of specu-
lation. and all horsemen take II as a mat
ter OF fact that Corrigan does as he
pleases in absolute control at Tanforan.
Horses seem TO run under his hypnotic

Since he has been excluded from Oakland
his followers at TanfOran are murmuring

however. that the murmurs will grow

conclusion that the Golden State

Colonel Walter II. Taylor was born in
Norfolk in the old Taylor homestead
'(now occupied by General Richard l..
Page) at the corner of Freemason ard
Duke streets. He is the son OF Walter
II. Taylor and Cornelia Taylor. His
mothers maiden name was Cornelia
Cowdery.
Col. Taylor was educated at Norfolk
Academy and the Virginia Military In
stitute at Lexington, Va, receiving Il
good academic and military education.

came in ~ large degree, prominent in
the ranks Of the South during the civil
war. but IL complete list would include
hundreds OF men who have attained
distinction in military and civil life.
Col. Taylor graduated with honor

spent several years in the State Bank
of Virginia in this city until the break
ing out of the war. He was then COM
mssoned as lieutenant in Volunteer
Company T. of Norfolk, but soon after
the state seeded he received telegraph
ic orders TO report 10 adjutant of the
State forces at Richmond. Here he
