ance Closing 10Th Ave

The Board of Supervisors passed to

chise to change the route of its pro-
posed street car line from Twentieth

From Pilgrimage to Ireland

With Prevailing
Conditions.

The red and white colors of the
Olympic Club intermingled with the
stars and Stripes on the hagstaff Of
the club yesterday and waved a CHEEKY
welcome home to President William
Greer Harrison, who has returned from
an interesting visit to the place of his
nth. Donegal Ireland. Mr.. Har-
rison's bearing is, II anything, more
youthful than when he left this city,
and his sprightly manner bears testi-
mony to the beneficial effects Of his
European trip.
Mr. Harrison is enthusiastic over the
conditions prevailing at the present
time in the parts of Ireland in which
he spent his vacation days. Accom-
panied by his son-in-law he made a
walking tour of twenty-eight days
through the mountains of Donegal in
glorious weather They averaged
seventeen miles a day. His daughter
accompanied them in a car. Mr.. Har-
rison had a close view of the people
and he was favorably impressed with
the prevailing conditions.
PEOPLE HEALTHY AND HAPPY.
II found the people healthy and
happy and / was especially impressed
with the beauty and the grace and dig
nifty of the women" said Mr.. Harrison.
There were no beggars in evidence
and no poverty. The people were cheer
full and there was work for everybody.
The prosperity of the people was at
tributed to the excellent work of the
Fisheries Board and the stoppage Of
all illicit distillation. The latter was
accomplished single-Aanded by

MAKES COMPLAINT
Of TRUST MEN.

c. L. Argues. agent for the American
oil barge Ssnoma.1 has forwarded to
the Secretary of the Treasury at Wash
ington, D. c.. complaint concerning
the action of certain Standard Oil Com
pany employees on August %, when
the barge took fire at Railroad dock
at Port Hartford. The following is a
copy of Argues report:
We were taking on some fresh water
and an oil cargo at the time the fire
broke out under the half deck in the
cooks stores Ran with hose and was
putting out the fire when people on the
wharf came out with pistols and rifles
and covered us and shouted to US to
let go our lines. / told them that
would have the fire out in a few min
utes with the fresh water hose from
shore. They then shut off the fresh
water. We refused to let go the lines
They stampeded the crew and all hands
jumped ashore except the captain. ma
chinist, cook and myself. Persons on
the wharf threw off the lines and set
us adrift. The fire gained on us
after they cut our lines and let us drift
We extinguished the fire with buckets
and chemical extinguishers. No assist
ane was rendered us. The Standard
Oil Company's influence predominated
to our disadvantage. After We nad
been cut loose and on fire for three
quarters of an hour, the tug Sea Queen
approached and offered us hose, but we
refused the same. as 1t came too late,
and we had the fire under control.

UNITED RAILROADS
IS CENSURED.

I'VE find that the deceased. DR.. Ran
dell c. Stoney came to his death
through the carelessness OF the motor
the United Railroads in not having
the switch at which the collision oc-
Cured properly protected
The foregoing was the verdict rem
dered by a Coroner's jury yesterday at
the inquest into the death of DR.. Ran
dell c. Stoney, who was killed on Oc-
tober l. when two Devisadero- street
cars collided on Sutter street.
That the switch at the crossing was
defective was made apparent by the
testimony of C. Tobriner, a boy, who
testified that shortly after the acci-
dent in which Stoney met his death a
wagon came along and the wheels
closed the switch so the cars could not
run into Sutter street. This direct evil
dence was in contradiction of the tes-
tinony of some- of the railway en-
ployes that the switch was. in proper
working order and was supposed TO
be closed.
Thomas Kelly, the motorman of the
car which ran on the switch and
crashed into the car on which Stoney
was passenger, testified that the
switch appeared to him as If 1t was
closed when he neared the corner.
]. B. Stevens, conductor of the car
that was struck. testified that Stoney
was riding on the steps on the side
where the gates were closed, although
there was room on the inside of the
car, and c. G. Dali. a passenger, tes-
tilted that the switch was open after
the accident occurred.
The jury which held the United Rail-
roads culpable for not taking precau-
tions to have the switch work prop
erly consisted of /. Shapiro, George II.

CHINESE ASK FOR

TOO MUCH. HARD WORK

The heather Chinee has stronger
card up his sleeve than Bret Harte
ever dreamed of He is going to form
union and play four aces on the
strike breaker The latest move Of the
willy one is Chinese laundrymans $
lodge, which was formed a few days
ago. Practically every "Chink" who
wields flatiron or rubs soiled shirt

ber of the organization. Wouldn't that
take the starch out of you?
They all are out for an advance in.
wages and they are going to get it or
else the Chinese laundry industry will
have to fall by the wayside. The best
1atiron mechanics of yellow hue who
are deft want SIS week instead of
$40, while the less skilled Chinese
who are wont to bend over the tubs of
boiling suds have notified their bosses
that they will not work unless their
wages are raised from 81 and sS to
SO and $40 a week.
So the boss laundrymen are up in
the air and possessed of sad feeling.
They are religiously making the
rounds of their customers houses and
telling them that the prices must go
up, LOT tnelr employees are determined
to secure higher wages, so in order to
make the business pay the wash tariff
will have to be increased.
Speaking of his troubles, Charlie"
a well-known laundryman at Sacra-
mento and Lyon streets, said to one of
his customers:

The Roosevelt system Of spelling has
hit this coast II you don't believe it.
Just scan the recent orders received
here from Washington. While the
chiefs Of the division and department
here have not been officially instructed
10 use the new phonetic spelling, never
theless all the orders they receive from
the War Department at Washington
are filled with the new Roosevelt ideas
For example, the spelling of the
word dropped is now "dropt.
Through has now become thru
Battle is spelled bail"
Saddle is now "sadl."
Muzzle is now muzl."
Rough II now ruff"
Weapon is now ''wepon."
Neoman is now 'yoman."
Killed is now kid"
These new ideas being brought so
practically into force here have al
ready taken root among the employees
of the different army departments and.
they are now jumping with great
alacrity into line and using his ideas
thusly:
Rotten is now roth"
Puzzle is now puzl" and
Kissed is now "kist"
