MAY De VICTIM
Of BAY DISASTER
Miss Josephine Smith Is
Missing From San
Rafael.
Friends Fear That She Per-
ished in the Ferry-boat
Collision.
Special Dispatch to. The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, Dec. B.-The name of
another victim may be added to the list
of those who met death in the collision
of the ferry boats San Rafael and Sausa-
Tito. Miss Josephine Smith of this city
has been missing since the collision. All
of her effects are at her home here and
no word has come from her.
Miss Smith has resided here a year.
She was a Seventh Day Adventist and
had been treating a number of persons
here for rheumatism. About four days
before the accident she went to San
Francisco for a visit of few days. No
one here knows whom she intended Wis
iting. Robert Jones, with whose family
she lived in this city, believes that Miss
Smith was lost on the San Rafael.
This view is shared by Mrs. Mary
Lewis, with whom Miss Smith previously
boarded. Mrs. Lewis, who was a patient
of the missing woman, says that Miss
Smith intended returning on the night of
the collision. Mrs. Lewis can account for
her disappearance on no other ground
than that she perished in the accident
She says that the lapse of more than two
weeks, during which time mo word has
been received, confirms the fears aroused
soon after the accident.

COURT DISPUTES
WITH ATTORNEY
Repartee Enlivens the
Proceedings in
Alturas.
Lawyer Raker Meekly Dodges
Contempt Proceedings
by Apologizing.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ALTURAS, Dec. 1S.-Proceedings in the
trial of James Nv. Brown, the alleged
Lookout lyncher, lacked their usual vim
and dash to-day, for only once did the
court find it necessary to discipline an
attorney for the defense. During the ex-
animation of a witness this forenoon,
Raker, for the defense, made one of his
characteristic orations to the jury, detail
ing something that had not appeared in
the evidence. Judge Harrington said that
the attorneys word could not be taken,
as he was not under oath.
my word is as good as yours any day"
was the retort of counsel.
Raker was cited to show cause at 1:3O
o'clock why he should not be punished
for contempt. After he and the court had
argued the point at length, he apologized
The Judge did likewise, and the contempt
ruling was dismissed.
District Attorney Bonner has now
aligned himself squarely upon the side OF
the accused men, if his attitude before
rion. Assistant Attorney General Post,
representing the State, is endeavoring to
have the Grand Jury indict other. sus-
pected lynchers who have been impii-
for the prosecution. In this he is op-
posed by Bonner, who has urged the
Grand Jury to return no more indict-
ments. Bonner gives as an excuse for his
course the belief that it would be impos-
sible to bring about the conviction of the
accused men.
To-day's proceedings in the trial of
Brown were limited to the cross-examina-
ton of Robert Courtwright by the de-
fense. Courtwright is the witness who
saw Justice of the Peace Myers and
others testing rope in a Lookout store on
the day of the lynching. The entire day
was spent in an endeavor to entangle the
witness, enlivened now and then by at
tacks upon his character by attorneys for
the defense.

Small Passenger List.
There were no cabin passengers and
only three in the steerage. These latter
were L. H. Whitehouse. William Hunins
and G. S. Kean. Besides these there were
the vessel left port, but nearly all of them
left the vessel at the first Mexican port.
The chances are that many of them are
now back in San Francisco.
The general impression in shipping cir
cles is that the San Bias was wrecked
Tuesday night during a heavy fog. Cap
tain Cattarinich is known as one of the
most careful navigators on the coast and
the loss of his ship will probably be found
to be an unavoidable accident.
The San Bias was built by John Roach
& Co., at Chester, Penn, in 1882 She was
Her length was 2S3 feet, her beam 81 feet
and her depth of hold q feet. She had no
double bottom, so the chances of salving
her are very slim. She will probably
make a dot on the coast line showing
where the Pacific Mail lost another vessel.

Deprived Of Legal Rights.

Commenting on to-day's action Raynor
said:
The objections that we have filed rest upon
the ground that Admiral Schley has been de-
prived of his rights as guaranteed to him by
land We claim that the whole of the testi-
mony in favor of the admiral including his
own and the testimony of all of his witnesses,
has been rejected by the majority of the court
and not even considered or passed upon. Such
a method of procedure would not be permitted
to stand for a moment before any tribunal gov
erned by any principle of common law COM
mon Justice The admiral the stand
for about four days and not word that he ut
tered and not a solemn assertion that he made
under the sanction of his oath has been ad-
verted to by the majority of the court. Such
a method of disposing of case is unparalleled
in the annals of civil or of criminal law. The
greatest maefactor in the land under the con-
stitution is entitled to have his evidence con-
sdered and passed upon. We shall. therefore,
avail ourselves of every remedy that we have
to impeach this appalling verdict.

There's q Pipe"

Do you know there is much fake
business about the pipe-smoking and
pipe-offering host? So long has the
earth been flooded with rot and rub
bish about "the pipe" that ordinary
men must live fifty years before they
can break away from the idea that a
briar or cob, packed with long-cut or
graduated at 20 cents pound is the
very quintessence of comfort and hos
pitality. Tut-tut! Who wants to put
between his lips guttapercha stem
that others have slobbered through? I
have in mind several acquaintance
who keep on hand from ten to dozen
rancid old pipes to hand around when
friends call. Such men are practicing
economy for economys sake. They
are too mean to offer you a 10-cent
cigar. and pretend that their dirty
old pipes are good enough for any
body. Catch 'em outside and ask if
they'll have smoke. Why, certain
