SUIT FOR POSSESSION
OF MISSION ROCK
UNITED STATES WANTS 1T FOR
a COALING STATION.

United States Attorney Coombs yester-
day prepared a complaint to be filed to-
day in the United States Circuit Court
asking for the ejectment of the California
Drydock Company from Mission Rock, in
San Francisco Bay. The United States
Government wants the rock to be used as
a coaling station. The complaint recites
that the patent issued by the State Of
ever lands may have been at that time
under the sovereignty of the State, but
contends that no State patent can hold as
against the United States in the case of
any islands or other realty over which
the United States has sovereignty.
Mr.. CoombS said yesterday that 1t had
been held by the courts that the United
States is entitled to the islands in the
bay of San Francisco and to all the tide
lands in the State and lands that
are covered and unco9yered by the
these lands at ordinary high tides. All
lands below ordinary high tides belong to
the State.
There will be two contests in the trial
of the case-one as to what the area of
Mission Rock was at the time it was
filed in and whether ii consisted of a
jutting rock or whether the lands about
1t were above ordinary high-water mark
Mr.. Coombs will also present this queS
ton, as to whether tide and submerged
lands. the title to which is vested in the
pertain to those tide lands which sur
round islands where the State has no
sovereignty.
The latter is a new point, and it's treat
ment by the court and counsel will be of
much interest.

TEACHERS WILL NOT
LOSE THEIR PLACES
SCHOOL BOARDS MISTAKE TO
BE RECTIFIED.

Through the faulty verhiage of a reso-
luton adopted by the Board of Education
at it's last meeting twelve pedagogues
lost not only their positions and per-
quistes as "heads Of departments but as
teachers in the school department as
well. 1t was not the intention Of the Di-
rectors to throw them out of the depart
ment; the one object was to abolish the
position of departmental head" and save
to the depleted school fund the SIS per
month which attaches to positions Of that
classification.
AS soon as the error was discovered a
meeting Of the twelve heads involved was
called and they came together at Super
intendent Webster's office at the City
Hall. The meeting had a double-barreled
object; to learn just what was their
status in the department and to fight for
the recreation of their old positions.
Superintendent Webster was called in and
upon the first point was quick TO reassure
them. He said that If through faulty
construction 1t was made to appear in the
resolution that they had been dropped
from the department the mistake would
be rectifed. Upon the second point he
held out no assurance.
The Board of Education, he explained,
considered that the position of head of
department had come to be little more
than honorary as there were no dis
tinctive responsibilities or duties attached
but said he would advise the discharged
heads to get together as body and
formulate a certain line of duties other
than their regular obligations as teachers
In the department and then memorialize
the board to re-eStabliSh the positions.
The teachers did not agree with their
superintendent that they had not already
distinctive duties and responsibilities.
They argued that they were responsible
not only to the School Department of San
Francisco but as well to the faculty of
the State University. The departments
of which they were the heads were all ac-
credited by the State University and it
was obligatory upon them to see to It
that the teachers in the departments Of
which they had supervision brought their
classes up to the standard set by the
State institution. They claimed that this
responsibility alone was worth the SIS
per month which was added to their
monthly stipend.
They could not argue profitably, how
ever, in face of the opinion of the Board
of Education and finally decided to fol-
low the advice of their superintendent
and memorialize the board for the re-
establishment of the position and the
repayment Of the SIS per month.

GIGANTIC RAILWAY TRUST
Siunificance Of Rock efeller'S
Entry Into New York Gen.
tral Directorate.

NEW YORK, Sept. o.-The Journal
says: "a billion dollar railroad combine
is foreshadowed by the entry of William
Rockefeller into the directory Of the New
York Central.
THE union of Rockefeller and Wander
bilt transportation interests throughout
the country would result in the manage
ment of the principal railway systems Of
the country passing under the control Of
two families. A gigantic railroad trust
would thus be formed which would eclipse
in magnitude anything in the line of COM
binations this country has yet seen.
THE combined wealth of Rockefeller
Brothers-John D., William and Frank
on q conservative estimate reaches hve
hundred million dollars, and William K
Vanderbilt, the heirs of Cornelius and the
other branches Of the Vanderbilt house
would easily bring the total capital of the
combination up to the billion dollar mark.
and perhaps even to billion and half
dollars.

FIRE IN WESTERN ADDITION.
The OKane Residence Narrowly Es-
capes Total Destruction.

The residence Of w. D. OKane at 2119
Broadway had a narrow escape from total
destruction by fire yesterday afternoon,
shortly after o'clock. The flames orig
mated on the roof and were caused by a
spark from a chimney. Before the fire
could be subdued the entire top of the
structure had been destroyed, and the
damage will amount to several thousand
dollars.
AS soon as the fire was discovered an
alarm was turned in from box 256 at Fill
more street and Pacific avenue. The Fire
Department was quick in responding, but
the blaze had already gained considerable
headway. and much difficulty was expert
enced in extinguishing 1t, as the fire was
confined between the roof and the ceiling
of the upper story. Much damage was
done to the interior of the structure by
water and articles of considerable value
were ruined w. D. O'Kane, owner of the
house, is one of the proprietors of the
Union Transfer Company in this city.

Considerable curiosity was aroused yes
terday afternoon regarding the paving of
the block on Montgomery street, between
Pine and California. 1t was noticed that
the block was being bituminized, the con-
crete foundation having already been laid,
with the exception of f1fty-nine feet in

Clunie. On this portion the workmen
were busy putting Jack the old basalt
