Three Overdues Heard From.

The people who speculate in reinsurance and
who picked and backed" the British bark
Siork as a probable arrival stand TO make
generous gains from their investment. The
Stcrk bound from Hudson Bay for the British
capital was quoted at so per cent. She left
Hudson Bay 163 days ago. She neither had
been heard from nor had arrived at London
town and a consequence the reinsurance
ruled high. The high rate attracted many
Spectators just because II was high and Of
fered long odds in the event OF the vessel g
arrival. NJ. A. Newell, through whom the
reinsurance speculation at this port is done
received word yesterday that the Stork was
safe still IN Hudson Bay, snugly winterng
under the lee of Charlton Island Newell
also received a cablegram telling of the plight
of the steamship Tacoma. The Tacoma left
Seattle with cargo of contTaband for Vlad
ivostok She was quoted for reinsurance at
80 per cent The Tacoma, according to the
word received by Newell is frozen hard and
fast in the iceDack OF the Japanese coast
With her is the steamer La Perouse. The
Blnckbraes. another overdue. quoted at Is per
cent. reached her destination. The other over
dues quoted a. follows: Francois, 10 per
cent: Brodick Bay. per cent, and Skidley,

More Rumors of Sinking Schooner.

Rumor was busy yesterday with hints of
disaster N the vicinity Of Tomales Bay. The
fisherman who is said to have reDorted the

of which were Of a startling nature. Hardly
had the day dawned than telephone bells be-
gan ringing with the burden of the news on
their wires. THE schooner Jessie Madsen,
with twelve men on board, by a
fisherman TO 20 down with all hands This
was the first rumor and it was being handed
around as a genuine ocean tragedy when the
owners of the schooner proved an alibi for
their %vessel The Jessie was safely tied up
u an Oakland wharf and was in a part of
the creek where she couldn't sink if she
wanted TO. No sooner was the Jessie story
punctured than word came that the schooner
Eta B. full sister to the Jessie Madsen,
was the craft that had gone to Davy Jones'
locker. Before the friends of the Eta B could
realize the calamity that had befallen their
dear came cable from the FaraIones
saying that the Eta B was lying in a snug
little cove under the lee OF one Of the islands
waiting for a tide which would help her home
Other boats were suggested, but by dark
every Of the rumor-w wrecked was accounted
for. AS far is now definitely known the
only schooner in trouble was the Mary Eta,
which drifted ashore Sunday at Stewarts Point
and whose stepped on the beach when

BOXING. PERMIT
BREWS TROUBLE
Mayor Takes Hand in Shut
ting Out of James Coffroth
OF the Yosemite Club
MAY VETO RESOLUTION
Fails to Block Action of
]. Democratic Majority in
the Board of Supervisors
MAY VETO RESOLUTION

There is trouble brewing over the
permit granted to the San Francisco
Athletic Club for a professional box
ing contest in March by the Board Of
Supervisors last Monday Mayor
Schmitz has taken a hand in the mat
ter owing to the fact that the Demo-
cratic majority in the Board Of Su-
pervisors finally succeeded in shutting
out James w. Coffroths of the Yosemite
Club. which had also filed an appllca-
tion for the permit. According to long
established custom the Yosemite Club
was entitled to this months permit, the
San Francisco Club having been grant
ed the January permit and ehe Hayes
Valley Club the one for February.
When Coffroth ascertained T. was on
the cards to give the March permit to
the San Francisco Club. to the exclu-
sion of the Yosemite Club he appealed
to Mayor Schmitz. His Honor imme-
diately sent for Morris Levy of the
Hayes Valley Club and Alec Greggains
of The San Francisco Club. They APP
peared at the Mayors office last Mon
day at o'clock and 1t is said d scene
was enacted there. The Mayor de-
clared the clubs must cease fighting
among themselves and wanted to
know rhy Levy and Greggaiis STOOD
in Coffroth's way. Levy took occasion
to say harsh things about CoffrOth and
the discussion waxed 50 warm that
Levy threatened to throw UP the light
ing game Finding he could rot pres
vail upon Levy and Greggafns to with
draw in Coffroth'S favor the Mayor
sent fer Chairman BoXton Of the Po-
lie. Committee. He received no salts
faction from the Supervisor. Then the
Mayor told his lieutenant, supervisor
Gallagher, Ito block the passage of the
resolution granting the permit TO the
San Fra ncisco Club, but Gallagher
failed at !. Mondays meeting Of the
board to do so. In fact the resolution
was passed without any objection be-
ing filed by any Supervisor, while Gal
lagher was communicating with the
Mayor over the telephone as to the
method of procedure ia the matter.
When Gallagher came back to the
boards chambers he was surprised and
indignant that the permit had been
granted during his absence. He raised
the point that nothing was. to have
been considered but the gas rate inves-
tigation. Then Eggers suggested the
resolution be reconsidered, but Gal
Iagherf was wise to the fact that the
ten Democratic Supervisors had at
least two other votes in addition to
their own to beat any counter PROPOSE
ton.
Now the resolution is in the hands
of the Mayor, who may veto 1t, al
though he has not given any such in
timation. Harry Corbett of the Yo-
semitic Club called on the Mayor yes
terday and complained that he had
been shut out on account of Coffroth,
who is In disfavor with the Democratic
Supervisors. Should the Mayor veto
the resolution it will take fourteen
votes to override his action.

REORGANIZED BOARD WILL
LIQUIDATE THE ESTATE
Amicable Understanding Arrived at
Regarding Affairs of the Pacific
Coast Savings Society.

An amicable understanding has
been arrived at among the conflicting
interests in the affairs of the Pacific
Coast Savings Society. When the mo-
ton for a permanent injunction came
~ before Judge Lawlor yesterday At
lorney Asher, representing the stock
holders, said that all persons interest
ed had come to a satisfactory arrange
ment. The board of directors would
be reorganized by the retirement Of
Two and their places to be filled by
one REPRESENTING the stockholders and
the other the creditors. He asked that
the demurrer interposed by the direc-
tors TO the complaint in Intervention
on behalf Of the stockholders be sus--
tanned and the Injunction made per
manenL.
Attorney Van Ness said he saw no
reason for making the injunction per-
manent, as il would embarrass the
court in future proceedings. The re-
organized board would proceed to
lquidate the estate as speedily as pos
sible and he also saw no reason for
the appointment of a receiver.
The Judge agreed with him and it
vas finally decided that the case be
stricken from the calendar to be put
back on two days notice.

CURRAN oUTPoINTs DoLAN.
Caesar Atten Stores Mike Kelly Away
i'm Five Rounds

in Five Rounds.
George Curran and Billy Dolan, a
couple of lightweights, opened up the
nights fun with a six-round mill that
was brimming over with resounding
wallops, wild swings and footracing all
over the ring. Referee Jimmy Nc
Dewitt gave Curran the decision for
his aggressiveness and cleverness.
Curran brought haymaker over on
Dolan's jaw in the second round, and
the latter rested on the carpet for
seven seconds, He came back willing
to mix and from that time on the mill
ing was fast.
Dolan was the stronger and was
there with an awful wallop which,
however, Curran managed to duck.
Dolan tried to finish his man in the
sixth round, but Curran countered each
time and sent in many mean jabs to
the stomach.
Caesar Attell bobbed up again after
a long vacation and celebrated the oc-
easion by slowing husky Mike Kelly
away in five rounds. Both men were
wild and erratic. Kelly was very foul
in his fighting and managed to earn the
misses of the crowd.
Attell finished his man with a right
to the jaw. Kelly was not entirely
knocked out. but when he hit the floor
the second time it looked awful good
to him and there he stayed.

peared at Harry Corbett's shortly be-
fore 6 o'clock to go through the for
mality Of weighing in, Ellis street was
thronged with a surging mass of hu-
manity.
When the time, arrived for weighing
there was the usual testing of the
scales. When the boxers stripped Cor
bett showed a vast Improvement in his
condition over any previous time here.
Muscle had replaced the fat with which
his body had been larded in the past.
Nelson had to resort to the Hammam
baths during the afternoon to rid him
self of one obstinate pound of flesh
which would not yield to work on the
road. He had a pinched look about
the body. which showed that the f1f-
teen pounds above the required weight
when he commenced training three
weeks ago was hard to get rid of.
When Corbett stood on the scales
the bar did not move, and 1t Is sup
posed he was a half pound under the
required weight.
When Nelson was weighed the bar
balanced to a nicely, indicating he was
exactly at weight. Spider Kelly and
Billy Nolan nearly came to blows over
Nelson's weight. Kelly claimed the
boxers had private agreement that II
the bar raised when the scales indicat-
ed 100 pounds that it would mean the
man was overweight. Harry Corbett,
the official stakeholder, would not ac-
cept such a technical plea as this and
declared both men at weight.
