A NEGRO SHOT AT A RIVAL.
Residents of the Camp Excited by
Sunday Arrest

Heslueuts Oh the camp Excfted by
n Sunday Arrest.
Intense excitement was created in the
vicinity of Fourth and Pomeroy Streets
northwest shortly after o'clock yester-
day afternoon by the firing of pistol shots
coupled with cries of murder" at the
sound of which the many negro residents
OF the Camp focked into the adjoin-
Ing streets from all directions.
James Wilkins. aJnegFo youth, who. it
seems. bears anything but good repu-
tation. became involved in a quarrel over
a girl with General Fry, another negro.
during which Wilkins became SO enraged
that he drew revolver from his hip
pocket and fired three shots at the Gen
eral," who fled at the sight of the weap-
on and was running rapidly down Pome-
roy Street. Noticing the approach of
Bicycle Policeman Lynn. of the Eighth
precinct, wilkins thrust the weapon back
into his pocket and ran into BANDS Al
ley. with the bluecoat in full pursuit. I'm
luckily for wilkins, however. he fell. and
in minute Lynn had him by the collar.
The negro residents of the vicinity then
turned out in force, and surged around
the policeman. several of them attempt
ing to strike him with sticks which they
carried.
Affairs were assuming a critical condi-
ton, when Policeman Carroll. attracted
to the scene by the shouts of the en-
ragged negroes, came up on a run.
The bluecoats hustled their prisoner
unceremoniously to the patrol box,
where a call was sent in for the
wagon. In the meantime. several hum
dred negroes followed behind the police
men and crowded the streets. Just as
wilkins was about to enter the wagon, he
his revolver to a friend, who straightway
dashed through the crowd, with Police
man Lynn in pursuit but before the lat
ter could mount his wheel the fugitive
had disappeared.
Upon arriving at the station wilkins
was charged with assault and battery by
General Fry. who mustered up enough
courage to follow the policeman to the
stationhouse while a charge of carrying
concealed weapons was placed against
him by the police authorities.
The vicinity where the shooting took
place is said to be one of the toughest
sections of the city, and is better known
TO many residents as the Camp. 1t was
only several weeks ago that Policeman
Garrison, while patroling his beat, was
mobbed by score of negroes, but sue
ceeded in frightening them off by dis
charging his revolver. Lieutenant Ken
ney has endeavored to prevent as much
lawlessness as possible, but, owing to the
limited number of men available in his
station. has not been able to detail more
than one policeman at time on the beat.

THE MARE ISLAND NAVY YARD.
improvements Wanted by Business
Men of San FrancIscO.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S--The leading
business men of San Francisco last week
visited the Mare Island Navy Yard in or
der to inspect the plant and be able in
telligentIy u urge upon the California del
egation the importance of securing Fed
eral aid in making the navy yard capable
of docking and repairing the largest war
ships.
The present dry dock is too small for
ships of the Oregon and the Iowa type.
and the approaches to the navy yard are
so much shoaled by debris from the Sac
ramento and San Joaquin Rivers that
there is danger.
What is needed, it is claimed, is to have
the channel dredged and a new stone dry
dock constructed Congress has appro-
priated nearly $1,000 Oea fs:- ssh.:s sh.s.::s dry dock
but for eighteen months the work has
been tied up over contracts. Friends of
the navy yard urge that the building OF
this dry dock should be begun at once.
for this completed it will be an easy mat
ter to drefye the channel
The Mare Island Navy Yard has plant
capable of building or repairing the
largest battleships, and the work could be
done far cheaper than at Bremerton.

Your committee submit that if the prac-
tice of securing exemptions by the meth
ods described in this report should not
be checked by Congress or by the Presi-
dent it will be possible for the opponents
of the merit system to bring about
gradual notification of the Civil Service
act without mourning the odium of di
roctly attacking 1t. 1t is true that in the
absence of direct Legislative prohibition.
executive officers might accept the rules
and employ the machinery of the Civil
Service Commission in making appoint
ments-and that they should do So But
the cases referred to seem 10 show that
their action is more apt to be in favor
of the laws opponents whenever the lat
ter make the terms of the appropriation
bills literally different although really
Synonymous with those of the Civil Ser
vice act The action of the President in
this regard-and upon the cases already
submitted to him as herein stated-is
awaited with much interest"
