GIVES HIMSELF
BIG SEND OFF
Whaleman Hires Brass Band
to Accompany Him on His
Last Round of Shopping

Sam Luka, the Kanaka boat steerer
of the steam whaler Beluga, yesterday
rendered TO himself one of the most
harmonious farewell DEMONSTRATORS
ever accorded to a departing whale
man. Sam has steered one of the boats
in which his brother hunters chase the
whale for many year. He likes his
work, but hates the idea of leaving
home without some kind of sendoff
III his native Hawaii his mud
colored friends would have gathered at
the pierhead with band of music and
decorated their departing brother with
many colored leis. 1t was a sencoff like
this that Sam wanted, and he had his
wish.
The Beluga pulled into the stream
yesterday and just before she left
Green-street wharf Sam carried aboard
his forecastle gods and took nos
session of his quarters for the cruise.
Before going on board he spent several
hours uptown buying his outfit for the
voyage. Before starting on his shop-
ping cruise he hired a brass band TO
accompany him. From outfitter to out
filter he marched ahead of the music.
The band had played out its repertoire
long before Sans shopping was com
plete, but the boat steerer offered no
objection to repetitions, as long as the
music kept time with his marching.
In front of each store the band PLAYED
selections while Sam bargained for
rubber boots, oilskins, warm clothing
and supply of bright-colored odds
and ends to be used in trading with
the natives of the -rctic. Shopping is
thirsty work and when Sam sought
relief at a tavern the music was
stopped to allow the musicians to join
the boat steerer in ! cup to the success
of the cruise. Then the band played for
the tavern keeper.
Sam led the band to the wharf, bade
each musician a ceremonius farewell
stepped aboard and disappeared in the
whaler's forecastle. The band, still
under orders, waited until Sam re-
appeared with a few coils of flowers
around his neck. Then Sans hired
musicians gave Sam the sendon for
which his soul fungered. 1t came high
but ii was his own.

Trial of Suit Involving Ii
tie to Water Front Land
Valued at $150.000 Begins
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
111S Broadway, March 16.

Ills Broadway, March 16.
The trial of a suit looking to the
clearing of the title to the Sessions
Basin property, valued at $15O00O, was
begun before Judge Hall to-day. The
title has become much involved, owing
TO the fact that H. w. Carpenter, the
original owner. entered into contracts
with different people TO sell the prop
erty. E. c. Sessions brought the suit
against the Oakland Harbor Develop
ment Company, which also claims title
to the land.
Sessions was the first purchaser of
the property He had a contract with
Carpenter to buy the land and paid
him about $4,000 on the contract. be-
sides spending considerable money or
| improving it. He defaulted in the final
payment of $50, 600 with interest due in
1898 and Carpenter began negotiations
with others.
| The California Development Com
pany had contract with Carpenter
to purchase the property and it turned
the title over to Allen ID. Wilson, who
in turn sold it to the Oakland Harbor
/ Development Company. of which James
L. de Fremery is president.
In 1901 c. F.. Sessions Jr.. who sue
ceeded to all the interests his father
had in the land, made a tender of $50,
600, with interest, for the purchase of
the property to the Oakland Harbor
Development Company, which offer
was refused. Sessions claims his con
tract is still alive and states that he
is willing to pay the remainder of the
money due on it, The Oakland Harbor
Development Company does not, recog-
nize any of his rights to the premises.

OAKLAND, March 1s.-The frs

OAKLAND, March 16-The first
train over the Santa Fe system between
Oakland and Point Richmond passed
over the lire to-day. 1t was only d
construction train, but it marked the
completion Of the line Of the Santa Fe
system into Oakland and the beginning
OF that railroad competition that has
been looked for so long.
There has been much delay in the
completion of this line. First it was
difficult to get the steel work for the
overhead crossing at Siege, where the
Santa Fe lines cross those of the South
ern Pacific. This bridge is a long one,
for it spans four tracks at this point.
The manufacturers did not deliver it
on time and this caused much delay.
Then came the wet weather, during
which time work upon the main line
has been practically suspended. But
to-day everything was completed and
the first Santa Fe train passed over the
line from Oakland and connected at
Point Richmond with the main line OF
that road.
There was no ceremony attendant
upon this trip. The train merely pulled
out of Oakland at o'clock and ran
through to Point Richmond. returning
at 5 O'Clock. The run was without
event. for the Siege crossing had been
tested from the Point Richmond side,
several cars loaded with steel being
run out upon the bridge to test its
strength.
Regular travel over this line will not
be opened until about the 1st of May
The exact date for the opening of the
new line has not been set but 1t l.
expected that the first passenger train
will be run at that time. The people
Of Oakland are preparing for a cele-
bration when the event occurs.
Work at the Oakland terminus oI
the line is progressing as rapidly as
the unsettled condition of the weather
will permit. The new depot of the
Santa Fe is nearly completed and the
work of finishing will be commenced
this week. 1t is like all of the depots
of that system, built upon the mission
style of architecture. The depot al
Berkeley is well along and viii o.
finished for the opening.
The old Emery tract, which was puT-
chased by the Santa Fe system for rail-
road yards in Oakland, is in a very
much cut-up state. Tracks are being
laid in every direction and there are
two construction trains now at WORK
preparing that property for the open
ing of the road. While the tract is
level there is much grading to be done
because of the heavy fall from Sar
Pablo avenue to the bay shore.
