MACARTHUR SPEAKS BEFORE
BRITISH-A1IERICA UNION
Opposes Sending of Offenders to Sea
and Demonstrates Erect on
HOnOred Sailors

HOnored Sailors.
Walter Macarthur, editor of the
Coast Seamen's Journal, spoke last
night before a large gathering of mem
bers and friends of the British Amer
lean Union in the Academy of Sciences
Hall. DR.. Frederick w. d'Evelyn,
president of the union, presided. The
platform was handsomely decorated
with the Stars and Stripes and the
Union Jack.
Macarthur's subject was 1.-THE Sea-
man-World Pioneer and Citizen" He
said the supremacy of England was
due to her maritime power To that
power also was due her military and
political strength. The same applied
to the United States, whose sailorrnen
have achieved gallant successes in the
wars in which the country had been
engaged.
Macarthur took occasion to express
his opinion of Judges sending offend
ers to sea. Such a procedure, he said,
did not tend to increase the reputation
Of the seafaring profession, but would
repel honest, self-respecting men from
seafaring life and would ultimately
leave ships to the mercy of the crimi-
nal class.
S. Colclough. recently from Alaska,
spoke on "A Prospector's Experience
IN the Field"

titled to protection.
Mayor Schmitz urged that the auto
mobilists be given more privileges.
The hour of closing the park to auto
mobiles was then taken up for con-
sideration. President Spreckels sug-
gested p. m. as the closing hour or
the main drive. Mr.. Schwerin sug.
gested 10 p. m. Mr.. Lowe wanted ar

MADE TO SUFFER UNJUSTLY.
All the good autornobilists demanded
to know why they should be punished
because rowdies and harlots and hood
lums made riot at night on the park
thoroughfares. When Mr.. Schwerir
and his associates were asked what
roads they wanted to use they desig-
mated the Panhandle, Warm drive
South drive and Middle drive. The
Strawberry Hill road and smaller roads
were excluded. A speed limit OF eight
miles an hour was acceptable.
1t was decided that the superintend-
ent should go over the ground next
Wednesday with Mr.. Schwerin and
they should agree where signs should
be displayed.
The Commissioners did not accede to
any Of the requests of the automobile
delegation, but it was agreed that Mr.
Schwerin should prepare regulations in
accordance with his views and trans
NIT them to President Spreckels. Mr.
Lloyd is to prepare regulations to meet
the views of the board. When this
work is done endeavors will be made
to reach q common ground of agree
ment
1t is understood that the Automobile
Club will meet the expense Of employ
ing watchers and policemen to enforce
the new regulations. The triG period
is to cover sixty days exclusive of Sun
days and holidays, but the south drive
to the ocean will not be closed on any
day.
BRET HARTE MEMORIAL.
The Bret Harte memorial, Luck OF
Roaring Camp" designed by Robert T
Aitkin, sculptor, and presented to Gold
en- Gate Park by the Bohemian Club
was accepted on the recommendation OF
Douglas Tilden. In the letter recon-
the memorial, Mr.. T1lden said he
brushed aside technique and judged the
work on its merit. 1t seems that Com
missioner Earl Cummings was con-
strained to decline to act as Judge OF
the work because he was q competitor
with Mr.. Aitken in the general COM
petition which Mr.. Phelan invited.
The motion to accept was made by
Commissioner Nelson.
