On the Rack.

The board of trustees of the in
ternal Improvement fund are inves-
tigating the timber which has been
cut from the lands belonging TO the
state. There is hardly a county in
the state but contains state land that
has been trespassed upon. The tres
passeSs will soon find themselves in
a decidedly uncomfortable position.
The easiest way for them to get out
OF it is to come forward and pay up.

HUSBAND OBJECTS TO SIZE OF
ALLOWANCE GIVEN BY WIFE
j. II. Mclaughlin Says He Was Only
Given Quarter FOR Meals Ont
of Salary of $50

1t is cruel wife who will allow
her husband but % cents a day with
which to purchase his noon luncheon
after he has regularly turned over to
her his $40 weekly salary, and 1T is be-
cause of such alleged cruelty that T..
H. Mclaughlin Jr is seeking to Sc
cure a divorce from Ella Mclaughlin.
His complaint was filed yesterday
Sometimes, says Mclaughlin in his
complaint, his wife refused even the
single quarter which he asked and
forced him to go hungry. He charges
her with spending the greater part of
the $40 each week for liquor, and says
that he often went home and found no
meals ready and the baby crying and
uncared for, while It's mother was In
a drunken condition. In addition to
these charges, Mclaughlin says that
his wife pulled his hair. scratched his
face and ''nagged and humiliated him.
until he was forced to leave their home
at 4422 Eighteenth street and seek
shelter in the open air. The final
breach occurred when she forced him
to go to the hospital by hitting him
on the head with plate, cutting a
deep scalp wound.

SA|LOR's MEAL IS
A WHOLE DUCK

John Bowman. able seaman: John
Scott, colored, cook of the whaler kar-
lux, and J. Hansen, able seaman, tes-
tilted before United States Commission
er Heacock yesterday to the fact that
during the icebound season OF 1906
Captain Archibald II. McGregor. not
knowing how long the ship would be
lock ed ap in the ice, put the crew upon
half rations. Up to that time. the wit
nesses said, there had been nothing to
complain Of either to quality or
quantity of food.
It was testified further in answer to
questions by Bert Schlesinger that dur
ing the period of privation Captain
McGregor ate lunch and supper with
his officers, who were also on half ra-
tions. taking only his breakfast with
his wife.
1t was also drawn out of the wit
nesses that the captain at Point Bar
row and other stopping places before
the freeZe-up traded mixed" flour for
wild ducks, grouse and other game.
which he fed to the crew, but the men
complained that they were served with
only half a duck each at meal. They
admitted that they had pie, cabbage,
potatoes, beans, pork, curry, venison,
sOnp- apple sauce. molasses, sugar, but
ter, bread, biscuit, fresh and salt fish,
prunes, dried apples, etc. but urged
that the portions served were too
small. The case will close today.

SHERIDAN BROUGHT
INTO THIS PORT

The transport Sheridan, rescued from
the reef at BarberS Point near Homo
lulu, came in through the Golden Gate
shortly after daybreak yesterday
morning in tow of the Buford and the
tug Slocum in the lead. The vessels
separated as soon as they arrived off
Meiggs wharf The trip from Homo
lulu was uneventful and was accom-
panied by the finest kind of weather
sells ran into a terrific northwest gale.
For the last thirty hours before they
reached port the three boats were con-
stantly swept by heavy seas.
The Sheridan lies at anchor off
Meiggs wharf, the Buford is lying off
Folsom street dock and the Slocum is
alongside the transport dock at her
old moorlngs.
The vessels made excellent-time from
the islands and arrived her about
twenty four hours before they were
expected by Colonel Bellinger, head of
the transport service. They left Homo
lulu on November at $3.50 p. m. The
Slocum, which led the procession, was
attached to the Buford by two-inch
steel cable, 1900 feet in length. The
Buford in turn was attached to the
Sheridan by two hausers, each $50 feet
in length. The average speed made
was seven knots.
Captain Peabody was in command Of
the Sheridan and Captain Frank Nor
row, L. S. A, was quartermaster Cap
tain Frank Hall was in command of
the Buford with Captain Heivt as
quartermaster and Captain l. L. Smith
was in command of the tug Slocum.
The Sheridan will probably go on the
drydock by the end of the week.

Deputy United States Marshal James
L. Nolan was the hero yesterday of
thrilling episode that brought JOY to
the hearts of an agonized mother and
frantic motorman. About noon the
deputy was riding on the lower step of
the front dummy of a Market street
car westward bound and when it
reached Powell street a little girl of
or years of age broke away from
her mother and ran directly in front
Of the swiftly moving car. The mother
screamed In anguish, for she saw only
certain death for her child, but Nolan
holding on with one hand to stanch-
ion, leaned forward and seized the
little girl with the other hand and drew
her safely up out OF the way.
The bystanders heartily applauded
Nolan for his daring and chivalrous
act. The name of the mother and
daughter Were not learned, other than
that the little one was called Hazel.
