SRHE story published exclusively IN
Yesterdays Call that the Union Iron
Works had been absorbed by a 81
ganuc ship-building syndicate organ
ICED by the Seligmans produced pro
found impression in San Francisco. To-
day The Call is able to place before its
readers complete confirmation Of the
story and supply many of the details con-
nected with the negotiations which We're
not obtainable night before last
Preliminary steps to consolidate under
one general management the leading ship
yards Of the Atlantic coast and the Union
Iron Works Of the Pacific were taken last
summer. The negotiations were conduct
ed with extreme secrecy. 1t now trans
pires that before Henry r. Scott left this
city on his recent Eastern trip all Of the
stock Of the Union Iron Works was placed
in escrow in the AnglO-CaIifornian Bank
of san Francisco. This bank is the
agency of the SeliEmans in California
Some interesting facts come to light re-
Earding the price or prices Of the stock,
for as a matter Of fact two prices were
considered and accepted. The active man
ayers Of the works received a much larger
sum per share for their stock than was
paid TO stockholders who had not par
-icipated in the active affairs Of building
ships. All Of the stockholders, however,
acguiesced in this twofoid arrangement
one reason assigned for giving to the
active managers a big price for their hold
i-Es was the consideration that they were
i'm the enjoyment of lucrative salaries
and would therefore be called upon to
make great pecuniary sacrifices in selling
their stock at the ordinary valuation
Under the terms of the agreement the
ordinary stockholders receive $3.50 per
share Of stock. The favored holders. or
the active managers, receive for their
holdings $500 per share. The number of
shares Of stock in the concern is 20 900.
hence if ali the stock were sold at $3.50 per
share the aggregate price would be So
100000.
The original capital stock was 81. 900 600.
and of this amount 81 100000 was paid up.
The par value Of the stock is 800 per
share
The Call IS assured that all of the
stockholders are satisfied with the ar
engagements of the syndicate. The
transaction is closed barring the actual
payment of money and the transfer of
property. No doubt exists as TO the ability
or design Of the syndicate to execute its
written obligations.
In deciding TO sell out the stockholders
took into account that they had derived
large profits from the construction of
ships for the United States navy It is
said that the Union Iron Works made a
clear profit of 100000 in the building of
the coast defender Monterey. They
reasoned further that Uncle Sam was now
provided with a first-class navy, and
building enterprises in this branch OF
work would not be brisk until some fu-
ture time.
The stockholders Of the Union Iron
Works are: James OBJ. Gum, Irving NJ
Scott, Henry T. Scott. George W. Dickie,

Governor Gage has given another proof
to the public that he does not possess
within him an element that will force him
to be true even to his friends.
More than this, CALIFORNIA; chief eXecu-
tive has demonstrated that after he has
sold friend gold brick he will rob the
friend Of even the grim satisfaction of
keeping the brick as a reminder of official
duplicity. Colonel F. S. Chadbourne is
the latest victim of the Governors deceit.
The colonel is smiling painfully at the
railery of his associates and accepting
with patience and resignation the jokes
of his acquaintance. He thought that he
had won from Gage a remote reward and
a dubious honor. He has awakened now
to the interesting fact that he has re-
ceived neither. The feelings of the colonel
have been trifed with, and after months
of weary waiting and anxiety his dream
of dominion on the water front has been
dspelled. He will not receive the coveted
position held by Rudolph Herold Jr. as
Harbor Commissioner, and Gage has not
even deigned to tell his victim of the de-
ceit. which outsiders have already disCOv
cred.
The story of the colonelS burst bubble
is interesting.
During the gubernatorial campaign Col
onel Chadbourne rendered to the Republi-
can party services which the managers
and some of the leaders considered val
liable. The colonel naturally considered
that he was entitled to some reward. His
tastes are not averse to the flavor of po-
litical lOaveS and fishes, and his hands
were extended in natural eagerness for
them He had been Harbor Commits
sioner and his friends supported his
claims for reappOintment. His successor
was Rudolph Herold Jr., and the colonel
smiled gleefully in the prospect that he
would return to the board. With his hope
Of returning his ambition scared and he
laid plans to be appointed president of the
board of which he had been member.
Then came the first disenchantment.
There was a question in reference to the
number of legal vacancies in the Board of
Harbor Commissioners. To the ordinary
mind there was only one vacancy; to the

clean up each 100000. Henry T will be
retained by the combine to manage the af-
fairs of the Union Iron Works 1t is I'M
derstood that Irving NJ. will retire from
the activities of business life and per
haps devote his time and talents to ;he
public service. He Will be in line to serve
California in the United States Cenate If
the Governor shall decide to appoint him
or the Legislature to elect him for that
service.
The big combine is not relished in San
Francisco. The syndicate cannot build
better ships than the Oregon and Olym-
pia- No managers will pay higher wages
to employees than the SCOTS are paving
and the men at the yards will live a long
tine before they find employers more con-
siderate of the workingmen than the
Scots have been.
The present activity Of the Union Iron
Works Will be maintained for consid-
cradle length of time. The naval craft in
course of construction consist of two
great battleships-the Wisconsin and Ohio
the monitor Wyoming and the torpedo
boats Preble, Paul Jones and Perry 1t is
expected that a contract for three thou
sand ton cruiser will be awarded to the
Union Iron Works in a few days. In
addition to the work for the navy, the
freight ship California of 5000 tons and
the ferry-boat San Pablo are in course of
construction at the yards.
Although there is much work on hand
the apprehension exists that the syndicate
in the future will place the building of
big ships in the yards where labor and
material are cheap. 1t is difficult to per
ceive any advantage to California in gen.
eral, and San Francisco in particular. by
the organization of the great ship-building
syndicate. The trust will get the work
done where it can be done the cheapest
and where the boodlng, vindictive press
Will not pOunce upon every man that tries
to do something for the prosperity of the
community.

INGLY DESCRIBED.

benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the
University Of California, entertained a
large audience in Metropolitan Temple
last night with a description Of the Olym-
plan games held in Athens in 1896. For
two hours he wildly pictured the con-
tests participated in by international ath-
letes and illustrated each event with
splendid photographs and paintings taken
and collected by himself during the mem
orable contests
Previous to the lecture the University
Glee club rendered Hail, California and
a snappy sea ballad. In introducing Presi-
dent Wheeler, Professor Bacon Of Berke-
ley said the former was just the kind Of
man the university wanted to turn out.
He paid a neat tribute to President
Wheeler in the following words:
when 1 say this I do not mean that
our main ambition is 10 turn out great
Greek scholars, though President Wheeler
is great Greek scholar; neither is it our
ambition TO turn out great historians, and
President w neeler comes pretty near
being great historian. He is the kind Of
a man we want because he Is an all-rollnd
man, man VINO is in sympathy with
every human interest, and we hope he is
going to help US turn out such men -
When Professor Wheeler stepped for
ward he was rendered a great welcome
from the large assemblage, and through
out his highly interesting lecture he Va
given the closest attention and hearty an

Olympian games, was the signal for an
plause. The speaker told Of the congress-
that was called in 1894 and of the m5tion
Of an American that prevailed that tha
first games be held at Athens, where Il
had its baptism. A map of Greece was
then thrown on the canvas and the lee
