Henry Hackney, Who Was Third Officer of Standard
Oil Vessel, Tells of Cruelty TO Sailors.

Henry Hackney, late third mate of
the Standard Oil Company's clipper ship
Atlas, says that Mr. Rockefeller's big
windjammer on her last voyage from
New York to the Orient was a hell
ship" of the old fashioned type. Hack
ney arrived here yesterday from Naga-
saki on the army transport Sherman.
The Atlas left New York with a cargo
of case oil for Yokohama. Her skip
per, Captain Ambermann, is Nova
Scotian; her mate, Lars Anderson,
true bucko. She had a green crew. The
voyage, according to Hackney, who has
records from Yokohama TO back up his
story, was one long series of pitiless
persecution and abuse. Men were beat
en-, manned and starved More than
half the members of the crew at differ
ent times were triced UP by the wrists
and left hanging for hours at a time.
At Yokohama United States Consul
General Miller was appealed to, and by
his order, says Hackney, every man
that wished it was paid off. All left
the ship but one seaman and four boys.
The Atlas could not get another white
crew and sailed from Yokohama for
Honolulu with twenty-four Japanese
sailors and two Japanese boatswains.
The trouble began as soon as Cap
tain Ambermann found out that we had
very few sailors among the crew." said
Hackney. The first thing he did was
to cut down rations fore and aft. If
man complained he was knocked down.
If ne kicked again he was taken to the
sailroom and triced up by the wrists
with his toes barely touching the deck.
The men were given no leisure. Morn
ing. noon and night the watch was hus-
tied about. If a man showed any signs
of resentment he was put in irons.
BREAKS SAILORS NOSE.
"Fhe men in the mates watch got it
worst I saw Anderson, the mate, smash
one seaman, German, on the nose. The
nose began to bleed. Then the man
sneezed out two pieces of bone. He has
those pieces of bone yet and means to
use them as evidence II he ever gets

"One night the mate told me that
sailor, julius by name, had heard the
sailors plotting mutiny and that we

sailors were harmless. Hadn't l been
slapping every one of them in the
mouth three or four times day ever
since we left New York There was
not an ounce of fight left in one of
them, and l knew it.
The men demanded more water and
half dozen of them were triced up
for impertinence. All the skipper al

WANT REGULATIONS
FOR TENDERLOIN.
Rev. R. E. Mum Appeals
to the Mayor When
the Chief Fails to Act

Speaking for himself as a citizen,
and also for his congregation, Rev.
Rufus E. Num-. pastor of the Centenary
Methodist Church. says it is the duty
of Mayor Schmitz to regulate the ten
derloin district. which he declares is
established within the very heart of the
residence locality of San Francisco.
In letter sent to the Mayor yester-
day the reverend gentleman reiterates
in brief the charges he hurled short
time go from his pulpit He says that
he called the matter to the attention
of Chief of Police Dinan in person, but
received scant encouragement and no
action, despite the fact that the head
of the police was furnished with list
of questionable places.
His letter is as follows:
Hon. Eugene E, schmitz. Mayor OF
San francisco, Cal:

lowed them was a pail full every day
between twelve of them. We caught
a number of shark, porpoise and al
batross and the flesh was served to the
men instead of meat as long as 1t
lasted. The shark flesh made some OF
the men sick, and when they COM
plalned they were put in irons.
All the way from New York, when
the skipper was not experimenting
the tricing up of some member of the
crew he was doctoring somebody that
the mate had manned. Talk about
your hell ships.
FOOD CAUSES SCURVY.
The officers Jared little better than
the men in the matter of grub. l had
been getting small slice of meat
twice day. 1 told the captain was
getting weak for lack of nour1shment
and must have more meat. He reduced
the size of the slice, and after that
1 got meat only once a day. AS re-
suit | arrived at Yokohama with bad
attack of scurvy and was in the hos
pital until few days before I boarded
the Sherman.
When we reached Yokohama the
crew went aft and asked permission
to go ashore and see the American
Consul. Captain Ambermann called
them mutineerS and triced five of them
up in the sailroom. Those that were
free went aft again to insist on their
right to see the Consul. Captain Am
hermann met them with a revolver
and threatened to shoot the next man
that said consul.
One seaman, David Mckay, pro-
tested and the captain took shot at
him. He missed. Mckay ran for
ward, with the old man after him. As
Mckay ran he gathered Delaying pins.
He climbed into the fore rigging and
dared the skipper to come any farther.
Mckay climbed out on the fore-yard
and dropped into the water.
He was picked up by sampan.
The skipper ordered the sampan man
to bring the sailor alongside. Mckay
pulled out Delaying pin and 'signaled'
to the Jap to take him ashore. Mckay
looked as if he meant business, and as
the Delaying pin was nearer than the
shippers gun the Jap obeyed the
sailor.
Mckay reported at the American
Consulate and that night Mr.. Miller
sent out a representative to make an
investigation. The Consul freed the
men from their slavery and, I was told
later. administered a severe rebuke to
the skipper, who will have to explain
things in court when he returns to the
United States.

Board Grants a Parole to
Former City Employe,
Convicted of Forgery

Peter McGlade, who was well known
in San Francisco as politician and
man about town a few years ago, but
who let goodfellowship lead him
out of the paths of discretion and
forged salary vouchers while serving
as chief clerk in the Street Comm1s-
sioner's office, for which offense he was
sent to the penitentiary, is with his

day by the Board of Prison Directors
McGlade was expecting his parole.
His wife was at San Quentin during
the meeting of the board. The pris-
oner was summoned before it and ask
ed the questions that are usually put
to men that are to be shown clemency.
He walked out happy in the knowledge
that within a short time he would be
free again as far as prison confinement
was concerned. His wife, who has re-
mained faithful to him during all the
years of his Incarceration, almost
tainted when she heard the news she
had waited so many months for.
With his wife, McGlade crossed the

Commissioner Moran. After a stormy
session with the superintendent of the
concern a dicker was struck which will
allow the camps water until the next
session of the commission, when the
water works will demand the regular
rates for all camps. Moran said:
This action comes as a great surprise
to me. We have received no complaints
from the water company that would
imply that such drastic measures would
be used. 1t is outrageous. If the cut
off had been made a little later in the
day, there would not have been a drop
of water in either of the encampments
over Sunday and possibly Monday. San
itary conditions would have been de-
stroyed and the greatest hardships ex-
perienced by the homeless. The water
company has agreed to continue the
supply until we have a session and can
come to some understanding with it's

company intimates that a regular meter

Former Coroner Leland
Surprised by Receipt
of Package in Mail
INCLOSE A LETTER

DR.. T. B. w. Leland. ex-Corcner, met
with a pleasant surprise yesterday
morning when a letter carrier deliv-
cred at his residence, 1910 Vallejo
street, a package containing his gold
watch, chain and charm, check for $170,
matchbox, purse AMI key. which were
taken from him last Tuesday night by
two footpads within block of his res
idence. The only thing missing is the
s175 in coin. The package bore the ad-
dress in pencil, 'Dr. 7. w. Leland, VAL
lejo street. San Francisco
Inside the package was a letter writ

yours truly.
bud AND OHIO RED"
DR.. Leland called at police headquar-
ters with the package and letter and
handed them to acting Captain of De-
tectives Wren after appropriating what
he wanted. He said that when the foot
pads were going through his pockets
and had taken his checkbook, he said
to them, You can have no use for
that" and one of the robbers replied,
We'll, what we don't need we will re-
turn to YOU"
The doctors checkbook, keys and
some corresp spondence were in one of the
overcoats found by Detective Bunner
in the rear of a chicken-hous on Fill
bert street, between Buchanan and La
guna, on Friday morning.
Bunner has possession of the empty
package and letter and is pursuing his
Investigations. The signature of the
letter confirms Captain Wren's opinion
that the footpads were "yeggmen," as
it is their custom to adopt the name of
a city or State and a color.
The man who was arrested at Lobos
Square on Friday by Corporal ]. L.
Murphy and gave the name of James
Sutton was recognized yesterday as an
eX<convict known as James Dowdall
alias Charles Howard. In 1895 he was
sentenced to serve one year in San
Quentin on a charge of burglary. DR..
Leland still says he is reasonably GER
tain that Sutton was the taller of the
two footpads who held him up.
A partial confirmation of DR.. Leland s
belief was obtained yesterday after
noon. Several of the refugees at Lobos
Square were shown the two overcoats
found by Bunner in the rear of the
chicken-house on Fi1bert street, and
they recognized the blue one as be-
longing to Sutton. They said they had
seen him wearing it at nights around

SCHM|Tz PROMISES
NAMES TO-DAY.
Says Task of Choosing
New Police Comm1sS
sion Is About Finished

Aspirants for appointment to the
Police Commission have few more
hours of anxiety before them. for
Mayor Schmitz announced last evening
that he would not name the remaining
members of the board before o'clock
this afternoon. He had expected to
make his announcements yesterday,
but he had the claims of many to con-
slider and also wished to interview
others whom he would like to have
serve but who had not signified their
desire so to do, so he decided not to
make his appointments until today.
1t was reported on the streets that
x-Commissioner Reagan purposed
bringing action in the Superior Court
for a writ of mandate to compel the
Mayor to reinstate him in his position,
but Reagan set this report at rest
There is no question that / am
finally out of Office" he said, "but this
does not mean that / have quit fight
ing. If there were any way on earth
that I could get this matter into the
courts for review 1 would do so. but
am convinced that the so-called San
Diego decision bars review of the
Mayors action in removing me-
TT may be possible, however, that
1 can find some way to force this af-
fair into court with myself as defend
ant 1 have made my charges and
stand willing to prove them. 1 am
fighter, and those who have opposed
me at this time can rest assured that
they will hear from me later. I do
not intend to rest until the truth is
known, if it takes me a lifetime"
So far as the plants of the old board
are concerned, Mayor Schmitz is paying
no attention to them. He cleaned out
the board for cause, he says, and will
endeavor to appoint commission that
will not betray him and the public by
engaging in business that directly con-
1icts with their official obligations. He
believes he can do this. he says. and
will announce the names today.
