STEAMBOAT COLLISION
UNDER INVESTIGATION
Masters of the Grace Dollar and the
Saint Helena Make Statements
of Conflicting Nature.


United States Local Inspectors
Bolles and Bulger began an investiga-
ton yesterday into a collision which
occurred on the bay on December Is
between the steamer Grace Dollar and
the steamer Saint Helena.
r. M. Olsen, master of the Grace
Dollar. testified that at 2 o'clock on
the morning of the date mentioned
while coming in abreast of Lombard
street wharf, he saw the Saint Helena
approaching and blew two blasts of
the whistle, while putting the helm
hard a-starboard. He said he received
no reply whatever from the Saint He
lena. When the vessels were coming
together Captain Olsen reversed his
engines and went full speed astern.
Then he heard three blasts from the
other steamer and the collision took
place.
Captain McNulty of the Saint He
lena said that just before the collision
he heard two blasts that he could not
locate. AS soon as he saw the Grace
Dollar approaching he stopped, back
ed at full speed astern and blew four
blasts, then three. No answer was
made by the other steamer. The Dol
lar struck the Saint Helena amidships
and pulled away without offering any
assistance or giving her name when
requested to do so. Captain McNuIty
finding his ship leaking badly, beached
her at the Occidental Warehouse
flats

Wrecked ON the Drydock.

Placing the steam schooner Lakme on the
:. drydock at Hunters Point mas proved more
disastrous for the coaster than all the bump
ing she experienced on the Humboldt bar.
When the Sea Rover which brought the
I.akme in from sea, showed her waterlogged
charge inside the big basin the Lakme. al
though full OF water. was sound OF hull so
tight in fact, were the coasters seams tnat
holes had to be bored through the planking,
as tha drydock slowly emptied. to release the
water shipped at sea. Before the Lakme
hull was out of water the steam schooner:
which had not been securely hraced, TOPPED
over and in the fall several OF the keel oioeks
Irara driven through the LakIne's timbers. As
a result of this fall the Lakme is good zeal
OF, a wreck and the cost of repairing her VIII
now be some thousands of dollars greater IMAM
il otherwise would have been.

CAPTAIN ANDERSON
ESCAPES BY BLUNDER
Prosecution Fails to Attempt to Prove
That the Schooner Vine Is an
American Vessel


Because of blunder made by the
prosecution, Olaf Anderson, master of
the schooner Vine. escaped conviction
yesterday in tie United States Dis
trict Court and was released. Captain
Anderson was charged with beating
and wounding his steward, John San
ders, on the high seas while the Vine
was at the Caroline Islands last Aug
ust Sanders is japanese, and he
failed to have the captains coffee on
time. The beating was proved by all
the witnesses and it looked like a
conviction until Judge de Haven ex-
ploded thunderbolt in his charge to
the jury. He said that among other
things, before conviction could be
had, it was necessary that it should
have been proved that the Vine was
an American vessel. The jury might
possibly remember, said the Judge,
that such testimony had been intro
duced, but the court did not.
Upon this hint the jury acquitted
Captain Anderson.

Those in Interest.
George L. Fish has bought the busi-
ness of the Olson Bros. and the Olson
Company. He took possession yes
terday. This includes two stores in
San Francisco and one in Oakland.
The sale of the property was consid-
cred to be the best way for all con-
cerned. The creditors, through their
committee. have acquiesced in the
sale, which is satisfactory to all par
Ties in interest. An investigation of
the affairs of the Olsons convinced
the creditors committee that the only
cause that led to the Olsons' financial
trouble was the attempt TO carry a
large volume of business with too lit
tie capital. The business will be car
ried on by Mr. Fish.
