F|REMEN AVOID
PAYING DEBTS
Board Cites Bankrupts to
Show Cause Why They
Shall Not Be Dismissed
EVIL is INCREASING
Information Received That
Over Il Hundred Men Are
Contemplating Insolvency

The frequent application OF members of
the San Francisco Fire Department to be
declared bankrupts has caused the Board
of Fire Commissioners to inquire into the
subject, as it has been represented that
the men are using the bankruptcy court
as means to avoid paying just debts
Information has been received by the
board that over one hundred members of
the department are contemplating pro-
ceedings to avoid payment of their
debts
While the Commissioners desire to
stamp out the evil before it grows large
enough to make a laughing stock. of the
department., they in no wise wish to
hinder man in the ranks from the
honest use of the bankruptcy law. Word
came to the department that in some in
stances the men were using the protec-
ton of the courts to avoid paying per-
sonal expenses.
The board ordered that the men who
have already been declared bankrupts
shall appear and show cause why they
shall not be dismissed from the depart
ment. Those who are applying or about
to apply to the board will be cited to ap-
pear and show why they are making ap-
plication to the courts for relief.
Awaiting final settlement Of the troubles
between the captain and lieutenant of
A-iiSAhS Company ~>O' ", tAiO
ton of Lieutenant T. ]. Kelly asking for
transfer has been laid over. Captain ID.
B. Sewell has requested that he be not
transferred and charges were ordered
preferred against him by the board.
Sewell will be called upon to show a rea-
son why he shall not be transferred. Bad
feeling has existed between the men for
some time.
Charges were ordered filed against
fHOSeman James F. Campbell of Engine
Company No IL for reporting late for
duty; against Driver John Farrell of the
same company for leaving the house
without permission; against M. daggerty
of Truck No. for overstaying leave; and
James Mcnamara for intoxication. The

Little White Liner
Beats German
to Port.

The Pacific Coast Steamship Com
psnys little white liner Curacao. Can
tain r. J. Paulsen, which arrived late
Thursday night from Mexico, passed
quarantine soon after sunrise yester-
day morning and docked at Broad
way wharf. The Curacao brought a
large and very valuable cargo and So
passengers. She would have had more
passengers had mol about two score
people who wanted to come to this port
from MaZstlan ina gined they would
get here quicker by taking the kosmos
liner Ammon- But they didn't by TWEEN
ty-four hours, for the Ammon did not
reach port until too late last night 10
pass quarantine.
The Ammon reached Ensenada ahead
Of the Curacao and was partly dis
charged when the little white boat
dropped her anchor at a. m.
The AmmOn had every lighter in En-
scnada engaged and Captain Paulsens
chances Of speedy dispatch did not look
very rosy. But Captain Paulsen has
not been going into Mexican ports for
years without learning how 10 get out
again with the least possible waste Of
time. At daybreak a boat left the Gu
racaO and long before either Ensenada
or the people on the Ammon were
awake. Captain Paulsen had COM
mandeered four of the most commodi-
Gus lighters in the harbor. There was
q Teutonic roar when the Ammon's S
skipper turned out and discovered the
American boat busily discharging &
freight into the Ammon's lighters.
Nothing is done in a hurry in Mexico.
1t took the Ammon's captain and the
Kosmos agent until p m TO demon
strate the Ammon's right TO the light
ers. While the argument waged the Cur
acao was working cargo and when Cap
tain Paulsen was finally notified that
he must give up the lighters the Cura
Gao was ready TO take her departure.
The German captain acknowledged
his defeat gracefully and when the Gu
racao blew her goOd-by salute the
KosmOs liners whistle responded with
three long, loud blastz.
Chief Officer Thomas Quinn. who has
been on the Curacao for many years
and who has been ailing for the last
two or three trips. was quite ill when
the steamer locked and is now recu-
perating at the Marine Hospital. He
expects TO return to duty in about two
months and in the meantime Thomas
Boyd. second mate OF the Gypsy, viii
take Quinn's place. Quinn Is prob
blv the oldest and ablest mate in the
Pacific Coast Company's service and IS
one Of the most picturesque characters
in the local shipping world He is
thorough sailorman and is highly es-
teemed by his superiors. No more faith

For four months during the irrigation

available are Dumping Lake, with ca
pacity of 22,3OO acre feet, and McAlis-

Of the second class land, 1900 acres is
private, $1,000 acres railroad, 1000 acres
state, and 2O5OO acres government, of
which last 1880 acres are still unified
on.
The third class land, or that land
which on account of its irregular and
rocky nature will probably never be us
ed for anything but grazing, represents
a very small portion of the total acreage
under the canal. 1t consists of about
$500 acres. 1000 of which lie in Selah val
ley, and the remainder, 1900 acres, in the
Mckee valley. 1t is all government and
railroad land.
geographically this scheme is posi-
bic. AT the proposed headworks of the
canal an excellent place for a diversion
weir exists, One ten feet above the
present water surface would be about
$50 feet long. The is an abundance of
timber and rock in thew entity. The
controlling feature from an engineering
standpoint is the carrying across the
Yakima canyon by inverted siphon of
the large volume of water needed to ir
rigatc the vast amount of land lying UNI
der the canal.
lIydragraphically this scnemc is I'M
doubtcdly unfeasible a. it heads in Ma
ches river. above the mouth of the Tie
tan. and i. therefore solely dependent
solely upon the upper Nachcs river and
its tributaries, Dumping and American
rivers. Allowing one cubic foot for ev
