F|N|GAN IS FACE
WAS NOT GOOD
FOR HIS BOARD
Asked to Leave the
Hotel Rafael.

Colonel Peter A. Finigan. the legal pau
per of the Hotel Rafael, is out in the cold
world. He and his three daughters have
been fired" out of the hostelry because
no more money was forthcoming and
General Warfield cannot run his house on
promises
Finigan, up to his involuntary exit on
Monday, held a most peculiar position in
the world of hotel people. He was living
al the SWEETEST place in the suburb and at
the same time he managed to prove in
court that he had not a cent. He was
not elected from the house, either or at
least not as early as that, and there was
nothing money could buy that F1nigan
denied himself. He came to the hotel
from cell in prison, which he had been
occupying because he would not pay his
eX-wife the alimony a court had allowed
her.
F'inigans plea in extenuation of his fail
ure to paw the alimOnY was that he had
not the money; that he was in every
sense a pauper. The court sized up the
evidences of wealth with which Finigan
was surrounding himself and thought
otherwise, so Finigan was sent to Jail
until such time as he was willing to put
up the money allowed his wife. He was
stubborn and remained in jail and while
he dined upon the fat Of the land he still
declared he was penniless and finally he
convinced the court.
He was allowed to leave the Jail as n
pauper and he went from the Jail to the
years with his daughters. He has paid
money to General Warfield at times, but
never very much-neVer enough to lay
him liable to the charge of perjury for
swearing he was a pauper. His daugh-
ters had some property in Berkeley and
this they mortgaged to General Warfield,
and upon that they lived at the hotel in
the best of style. But the value of the
mortgage had been used up, and no other
funds or mortgages were forthcoming.
General Warfield wanted the Finigan bills
kept straight. but Finigan could not put
up any money, for as soon as he did the
the falsity of his paupership plea would
become evident and the Jail would yawn
for him again, and perhaps after all he
would be compelled to put up the ali
mOny. 1t was a delicate position for
sensitive gentleman to be placed in, but
Firigan stood 1t as long as he could. III
fact it was Warfeld who made the first
move. Finigan and his daughters made
the second. 1t was one to Berkeley, where
Finigan is going to try to live up to his
means again without belying the oath
that let him out of Jail 1t is a problem
In finances that might be made profitable
If he can find some unsuspecting hotel
man to help him work 1t out.

with serious thought. bold assertions and
pertinent suggestions. In his opening
words the speaker was very happy IN MS
complimentary and encouraging sayings
to the new doctors, and was full OF MS
characteristic eloQuence: He eulogized
Cooper College and its faculty, and be-
cause these learned professors had pro-
nounced the graduates competent, so, ne
said society might fully trust the grad
yates.
But Rabbi Voorsanger had something
more serious to say to both graduates ana ana
audience. He warned them that, with the
spread of general education, the profess
sions are filling too rapidly and the stand
ards are lowering. He charged that the
sin of commercialism had entered the
ranks of the learned professions and that
the doctor, the lawyer and the professor
were in danger of degenerating to mere
fee-earners. With solemnity the rabbi ad-
jured his young friends to keep their
standards lofty. to protect the sanctity, of
their professional ideals, to remember
that while the practitioner f earned G+ ana h G de-
voted to the far loftier duty of ameliorat-
ing the suffering of humanity.
The rabbits address created a profound
impression and was full of fire to the very
close Following is the list OF graduates:

HARVARD CLUB HONORS
PROFESSOR A. AGASSIZ
WISHES HIM BON VOYAGE AT A
MAGNIFICENT BANQUET.
He Goes to Explore the Depths of the
South Pacific in the Interests of
Scientific Education.

Professor --gassz, the distinguished
scientist. was the guest of honor at
dinner of the Harvard Club of California
held Monday night in the banquet-room OF
Delmonico's. over sixty members sat
down to an excellent menu that had been
prepared for their entertainment and not
thing was lacking either in the compo-
sition of the dinner the service or the
conviviality of the men who ate it. which
Wouid help to make 1t a perfect success.
When the physical man had been suffi-
clently pacit1ed to listen patiently Presl-
uent sam B1glOW arose and in a bright
well delivered speech introduced the guest
OF the evening to those of the members
TO whom he was not already known. Pro-
fessor Agassiz in his reply outlined the
object of his visit to the coast. which is
as follows: He will sail this morning
on the Fish ommlssion's vessel Alba
tross for an extended tour of the waters
surrounding the islands of the South
Pacific and those washing the coasts of
China and Japan. He will make the
most exhaustive researches of the
oceans depths where they have not al
ready been overhauled by the famous
Challenger expedition, which was sent
out some years ago by the English Gov
ernment. Professor Agassiz thinks that,
owing to ,he limited facilities enjoyed by
the directors of that expedition, there will
be found by him much that is new and

in depth. which has never been sounded
and which the professor. with the instru-
ments which he will take with him, will
be able to thoroughly explore. The voy-
age is expected to last over six months
at least and at it's conclusion Professor
Agassiz will give to the world the result
OF his explorations in a volume which
should be widely sought after by those in
terested in such matters. Professor
Agassiz is staying at the Palace, where
he arrived Sunday evening.

outside of a saloon at Fourth and Minna
streets Monday night when the ladder
on which he stood slipped and he fell to
the ground. He was taken to the Receiv-
ing Hospital suffering from a fractured

body was removed to the Morgue. He
lived at 151 Fourth street. Yesterday

night. The meeting was called to order
by A Ruef, who represented the dele
gates of the Forty-fourth Assembly Dis
trict who had won out at the late pri-
mary against the combined ticket or
Crimmins and Kelly and the Citizens Re-
publican faction.
The object of the meeting was to ex-
press indignation and take action on the
result of the caucus held by the Citizens
Republican League at the Grand Hotel,
where. it is claimed by the independents
who voted with the caucus, that their
votes were obtained by fraudulent mis-
representation of clever politicians, who
took advantage of the ineXperience of the
independents The selecting of the Coun-
ty Committee by the Citizens League
from the districts where the Independents
have won is also objected to- as it shuts
them out entirely so far as representation
in the County Committee is concerned.
The meeting last night represented, it is
claimed, eleven Assembly Districts and
was addressed by John F. English, A.
Ruef. F. P. Haynes, NJ. Cert, Robert c..
Kelly, E. ID. Feusier, A. w. Liechti, j..

sent enough votes to prevent any faction
from owning the convention
The delegates of the Thirty-sixth AS
sembly District who walked OUT of the
Grand Hotel caucus last Saturday night
reported to their district club at Hart
ford Hall, on Hartford street near Eight
eenth, last night. After hearing their re-
port the district club commended the
action taken by their delegates and
rendered them a vote of confidence An
invitation was received from L. l.. Solo
mon of the Citizens Republican League
by the delegates to return to the fold,
where their opinion would be received
The meeting adjourned without taking
action on the invitation.

held that the Federal statutes and Gus
toms regulations do not recognize the
state quarantine officials and that they
should be treated as private persons. In
pursuance of this order the customs in
spectors in charge of the Doric Informed
DR.. Cohn that he would not be allowed
to come on board until after the steamer
had been allowed free pratique by the
Federal Quarantine Officer
Dr. Cohn protested but In mild way,
and contented himself with taking down
the names of the customs inspectors with
a view to legal proceedings. Hereafter,
If no order of court intervenes to the CON
trary, no State quarantine officer viii be
allowed to board an incoming vessel be-
fore she has been granted free prauque
by the Federal Quarantine Officer.
1t is probable that the State authorities
will appeal to the courts and that the
unseemly wrangling will be brought to a
speedy end.
Customs Surveyor Spear relies upon the
following sections in the Revised Statutes
of the United States:
No person. except pilots customs and health
officers, Consuls and agents of the vessel. shall
be permitted to come on board or leave yes
sci without permission Of the customs ofhcer IN
charge until all the passengers and their bag
gage shall have been duly landed.
No pilot other person will be allowed TO
leave a vessel until the vessel shall have been
inspected by the quarantine officer, and any
person violating this requirement shall be re-
ported to the nearest United States Attorney
for prosecution. No person VIII be allowed TO
leave the quarantine reservation or a vessel
placed in quarantine without permission of the
quarantine officer.
Mr.. Spear contends that as the forego-
ing provisions of the United States
statutes were made for the government
of Federal matters, the health officers
mentioned are the Federal health officers
and that no other health officials are rec
ognized.
