of felony embezzlement 1t is alleged
that Vice obtained from Newman &

fore he absconded and retained the coin.
Vice fed from the city about May 5,
1903, and report came to the police
here that he had gone to Honduras,
where he was made Chief of Police of a
city. IT was alleged at the time that
his defalcations would reach about s30,-
900. The matter was taken before the
Grand Jury and an Indictment was re-
turned against him for embezzling
$4,000.
The Indictment was destroyed with
others. during the big fire. and a few
weeks later Vice was seen in this city.
He had returned, believing that the de-
struction of the Indictment made him
immune from arrest. The Pinkertons
who have charge of the case deny that
they know of Vices present location,

WAN I DAY REDUCED
. To EIGHT HOURS.
Shipyard Men Will De-
mand Further Conees-
sions From Employers
VOTE UNANIMOUS

The Iron Trades Council of San Fran
cisco has declared for an eight-hour
day. AS soon as the Endorsement OF
the International ONCE Is received the
shipyards of this city and probably the
entire Pacific Coast will be served with
the mems demand for a reduction Of
one hour In the existing working day.
When it is stated that 1000 men are
involved in San Francisco alone and
that these same men were on strike
for ten months in 1902 for a nine-hour
day, the Importance OF the action taken
by the council can better be realized
The contest in which the men and
the ship builders engaged when the
men demanded a ninehour day was
one OF the longest and bitterest labor
struggles In the history of the city. but
the concession asked.
For several months the men have
been discussing the eight-hour day
among themselves and IL soon became
evident that the members Of the ten
unions involved were overwhelmingly
In favor OF fling a demand for an
eight-hour day with their employers,
No official action with this object In
view was taken. however, until the last
meeting OF the Iron Trades Council.
held in Brewers Hall. $50 Noe street.
At this meeting the project was
brought up and after a snort discus
sion, in which all those who addressed
the council expressed themselves as en-
Enthusiastically IN favor of the shorter
day, the question was put to a vote.
The council went on record unanimous
ly as in favor of Ming the new de-
nands. According to the procedure re-
quired to make such action legal. the
shipyard employers cannot be served
with the mans demands until they
have been, Endorsed by the International
body. The result OF the vote taken
by the council is already on its way
East and as soon as the required in
dorsement is received the Union Iroa
Works, the Risdon, the Fulton and
other big shipyards will be asked to
concede an eighthour day to all EN-
ployes. the change TO go into immedi-
ate effect.
From private advicss in the hands
of local union men IL is deemed prob
able that unions in other cities
throughout the coast will follow the
lead of the San Francisco council.

CHINESE To HURRY
BUILDING WORK.

The Chinese Six Companies, which is
al all times the dominating spirit in
the local Chinese world, IS preparing to
revive the Oriental quarter Of old San
Francisco. Although It has been an
nounced from time to time that china
town would be restored, the first deanite
step in that direction was taken ut a
meeting of the Six Companies yester-
day, when it was decided TO construct
temporary quarters at the organiza-
tion's forn1Sr meeting place 73S Com
lnercial street, pending. negotiations for
Il larger and more convenient building
ON Dupont street, near Clay.
The agent of the companies is already
engaged in leasing property at the lat
ter locs tion, around which Chinatown
will be built. The Chinese have decided
t" build within the bounds OF Kearny
Stockton. California and Pacific streets
and to erect the most modern buildings
Most of these will be three stories in
height and will be constructed of steel
and reinforced cement.
1t is estimated that the population Of
the new Chinatown will be about $4,000,
which will include the 1000 Chinese who
returned 10 the Orient after the fire. but
who will come back. and the several
thousand who will be returning soon
from the canneries in the north. A dozen
architects are already at work design
ing buildings for the new quarter.

REPLY OF SAILORS
TO SH|P0WNERS.
Seamen Allege Unlawful
Combination on the
Part of the Employers
DISMISSAL ASKED

Denying all allegations In the suits
brought by the California and Oregon
Steamship Company and George S. Bea-
die, owner of the steam schooner Sea
Foam, the Sailors Union, in it's answer
fled yesterday, goes further and de-
clareS that there was a conspiracy on
the part Of the various shipping asso-
Citations in the port to resist the de-
mand made last January for an in
crease of S5 month for sailors in the
coastwise trade. The union alleges
that money has been contributed from
the earnings of certain of the boats &c
pay the expense of laying up others,
particularly those in the lumber trade
This, 1T is contended, is an unlawful
combination, and therefore the plain
tiff. having tainted hands, cannot come
inFo q court of equity.
The answer in each case is volum-
irous. After denying specifically each
separate allegation in the complaint
the answer proceeds to give details oi
what it maintains is an unlawful COM
hination. 1t announces that the Sailors
Union was organized for the purpose OF
assisting the sailors, most of whom are
exclusively in the coastwise trade: that
in 1898 the union had membership oi
$4,000, but that, due TO hardships and
poor pay. the membership has decreased
to 5000; that in January the union gave
nctice OF a desired increase or So a
month for the sailors: that this was the
subject of much correspondence, and
that the United Shipping and Traps-
pcrtation Association was organized in
April Of the present year for the pur-
pose of resisting the. demands.
The new association is declared to
have been composed of the various
steamship companies the Master steve
dores Association and the Steam
Schooners' Managers Association.
II is alleged that this is unlawful. be-
cause each of the members of the asso-
citation has deposited $4,000 with the
president Of the Citizens Alliance as a
bend to carry out its agreement and
obey the orders of the association.
Further, II is alleged that the earn
irgs Of certain OF the steam schooners
have helped raise fund for the purpose
o. paying expenses Of some of the boats
that have been laid up. and that this
2rra ngement interfered largely with
the lumber trade between San Fran-
cisco and ports in Oregon and Wash
iligtoI.
Finally, alleging that the new com
Eination is against the interests OF
trade, and that therefore the plaintiffs
have no right to complain OF the sail
ors. the union asks that the suits be
dismissed.
