SAILORS WAGES MAY
BE SEIZED FOR DEBT
JURISDICTION OF STATE COURTS
DEFINED.
Decision by Judge de Haven of In
terest to Seamen and Their Cred
itors Af1oat and Ashore.

United States District Judge de Haven
yesterday handed down decision which
will prove of much interest to the men
who go down to the sea in ships The
case Is a libel brought by w. Gilray
against the steamer Queen to recover
wages which had been attached under
execution issued by a State court.
The opinion goes on to say that the
maritime law does not recognize any
right to attach the wages of q seaman in
itors in State court. 1t had been held
In other cases that the fact that the wages
of a mariner were under attachment in a
proceeding at law pending in a State
court would not suspend or defeat the
right of the mariner to proceed in admi-
rally for the recovery of his wages.
There Is, however marked difference
between an attachment to secure pay
ment of an asserted, and. it may be, dis
puted and unfounded claim, and the levy
of an execution which simply seizes upon
satisfying valid judgment, the decision
goes on to say, but no authority had been
quoted to show that the wages of a sea-
man may not, when no suit to recover the
same is pending in a court of admiralty
be taken on execution issued out of a
State court in the absence of a statute
exempting them from seizure, or in which
it is held that the prior payment of the
amount due a seaman for wages in satis-
faction of an execution issued against
him, would not constitute a good defense
in admiralty for the recovery Of such
wages.
The libel was, therefore, ordered dis
missed.

CHINESE WERE
DECEIVED BY
NATIVE GARB
Price and Men Raid
Another Game.
BUTLER A GOOD CELESTIAL
DoNNED PIGTAIL AND BLOUSE
AND WAS ADMITTED.
Found the Game in Full Sway and
Captured Fifteen Players, To-
gether With Complete
Layout.

Lieutenant Price and posse by a clever
ruse last night succeeded in capturing
fifteen tan players, together with a COM
pete layout The police are usually han
dicapped when an attempt is made TO raid
game by the fact that three doors must
be broken down before they can get near
the game. At the first blow of the ak
all evidence is destroyed, and by the time
the police get inside they find a bunch of
Cinnamon calmly smoking their pipes
and discussing the Samoan situation or
something else which interests them.
Last night, however, trick was tried
and 1t worked successfully. Officer But
Ter, who has a smooth face and is fat and
sleek as any Chnaman, was dressed in
the native Costume complete from shoes
to pigtail and started to make the rounds.
He was closely followed by Officers Bon
ner, King and Taylor. The quartet first
went through Waverly place, but the
lights there are so bright that the look
outs readily penetrated Buffers disguise
and refused to open the doors. The next
place visited was Ross alley, narrow,
dark and foul-smelling. Butler walked up
to the door of the Pacific Coast Friendly
Society and gave the customary rap. Al
ter a moments hesitation the lookout
pulled the string and admitted him. He
walked boldly over to the table, seized the
dealer by the back of the neck and threw
him into corner, and cooily began gath
ering up everything in sight. Before the
players had recovered from the first shock
of surprise the blows of axes were heard
on the outer door and they realized that
they were caught. Fifteen We're speedily
bundled into a patrol wagon and taken TO
the California police station, where
they were charged with visiting a fantan
game. The lookout who admitted But
Ter was the most crestfallen man in the
whole outfit AS he leaned up against
the desk in the police station surveying
the pseudo Chinaman he said; When
look at you head l thinkee slomthln
wlOng: when I look at YOU shoe | think
allie lghtee and pull sting"
Lieutenant Price has in years gone by
frequently captured gamblers in this
manner. but the Chinese became so wary
that it was abandoned. Enough time has
elapsed for them to forget the trick, hence
the success of last nights raid.

CABIN FLOODED AND EVERY

The American bark Guy c. Goss and
the British bark Zinita both made port
yesterday. The captain Of the former
had nothing but light winds and Calms
during his voyage from Philadelphia, but
Inc Liuita was through a cyclone that
neither captain nor crew will forget in a
hurry. The vessel was thrown on her
beam ends and for hours the water was
up TO the main hatch. Sails were blown
out of the bolt ropes, the running gear
damaged, everything movable on deck
washed away and the forecastle and
cabin flooded.
I'VE sailed from Antwerp on November
Il last, said Captain Lawton yesterday.
I'VE had the usual kind of weather to
the Cape and then We caught it. On Feb
ruary S, in latitude south longitude 81
west, a cyclone struck US. It commenced
from the northeast, veering to the north
northwest TO west northwest, blowing
hardest from the latter point The ba-
rometer was down to LIS and the ship
was down on her lee sue until the water
was up to the main hatch. Considerable
damage was done 70 the running gear
braces, etc. All the ports on the star
board side were carried away, the fore
lower topSaiI was blown into ribbons
some of the other sails snlit and every
thing was chafed.
"On February, he wind began to mod
crate and the barometer 70 rise. There
was fearful sea running, which kept
the ship under water nearly all the time
We got out oil bags and when they be-
gan 10 work the OIL prevented the seas
from breaking inbOaTd. This was a great
benefit and made things more COmfOrta-
bic for everybody on the Zinita. On Feb
ruary 10 we managed 10 bend Il fore lower

moderated and the wind died away al

WANTS HER PUNISHED.
Attorney Pistolesi swears to. War
rant for Mrs. Traver's Arrest.

Attorney Pistolesi appeared before
Judge Graham yesterday and swore to
warrant for the arrest of Mrs. j. ].
Traver, the woman who slapped his face
in the corridor of the new City Hall on
Friday afternoon, as was exclusively
stated in The Call Mr.. Pistolesi does not
. intend to rest until the sting of the
blows he received is smoothed by seeing
his nemesis severely dealt with by the
court.
On the other hand, the lady who did the
slapping Is proud of her work and feels
confident that she will not be punished
for acting as is she did: She reiterated yes
and If any one ever asserts that she
does he would better look out
Up to a late hour last night the war
rant was not served. According to the
officer in whose hands 1t was given, he
cannot arrest the lady until she is ident-
flied by Attorney Pistolesi. AS the lat
ter has some compunction about entering
Mrs. Traver's castle, even though ac-
companied by minion of the law, 1t is
believed he will let the matter drop.
