Kay, foreman of the job, were the i'm
portant witnesses. keenan, testified
that he had looked over the job and as
that staging must be erected. He
stated that the riveters had nothing to
do with that part of the york and that
when the men reported to him he was
given to understand that they knew
their business and were experienced
carpenters.
Two of the men who were so en-
pioyed We're SuDpenaed, but they
proved to be Greeks, who could not
speak the English language, and as
there was no interpreter available they
were permitted to go without being
examined.
Coroner Walsh stated that he was
satisfied the men employed were not ia
miliar with the work. and it was at his
recommendation that the jury inserted
in its verdict recommendation TO con-
tractors that the erection of staging be
intrusted to experienced men,

ASK THAT CITY
JOIN IN SUIT
Refugees Need Help in
Attack on Finance
Committee.

Acknowledging inability to bring in
junction proceedings against the
finance committee In the suit recently
instituted by Alva UdelI and others,
charging James Phelan and his asso-
ciates with conspiracy in the handling
of relief funds, the Board of Super
visors is memorialized in a commu-
nication filed yesterday to become a
party plaintiff. The petitioners, who
state that they represent over 10000
destitute persons, admit that lack of
money bars them from proceeding with
the suit. They declare that San Fran
cisco is an interested party to the ex-
tent that it must look after the well
fare of INDECENT and needy citizens. AMI
that the Board of Supervisors is the
proper party to intervene and become
one of the plaintiffs.
Some days ago an action was COM
menced by Alva Udell, William Howard
and Charles Pease against James Phe-
Ian and the other members of the
finance committee, in which 1t was
alleged that the defendants had entered
into a conspiracy to take into their
possession a large part of the 5000, 900
and other contributions for the relief
of the destitute and suffering people.
Now these same plaintiffs, together
with P. ]. Mogan, A. II. McLayen, A. FL.
Browne and Captain Bert Stout seek to
have San Francisco as a city and coun-
ty join with them in bringing about
an accounting.
After stating that the civil code per-
mits any person who has an interest
to intervene before tie tr'a, of a case.
the petitioners set forth that the city
and county of San Francisco has an
interest to the extent that the city pro-
vides subsistence and shelter for in
digent persons who are worthy of re-
lief.
1t is further declared: THAT said
moneys, foods, clothing and other ma
terials are in danger of being lost, re-
moved, materially injured. wrongfully
converted. misused and enormously
distributed by said defendants, and that
this loss will be the direct means of
greatly increasing the number of In
digent persons who are now worthy of
relief and swell the number who must
be maintained in penal institutions or
otherwise"
After explaining that the right OF in
junction lies in such cases. the me-
morialists allege that San Francisco
will be damaged to the extent of loss
sustained by the said county. .nd as
petitioners are without funds Of great
value, unable to engage wealthy
friends or corporations to become
sureties, requirement not exacted
when municipal corporation is d
party plaintiff. the Board of Super
yisors is requested to file a proper COM
plant of intervention.
A communication was received from
the Board of Education to the effect
that a resolution was recently passed
asking the Supervisors to set aside
SIS. 900 out of the school construction
fund for the equipment of the Poly
technic High School.

FAIL To ANSWER
MAYORS LETTER
Vessel Owners Seem to
Be Satisfied With
Situation
Seek by Injunction to
Keep Sailors Off One
of Their Boats.

The members of the executive com
mittee of the United Shipping and
Transportation Association do not seem
to be in any hurry about acting upon
the suggestions made to them and the
Sailors Union by Mayor Schmitz scv-
eral days ago. When they met yes-tsr-
day afternoon the shipping magnates
simply discussed the letter informally.
but failed to take any action on it.
though II was thought certain they
would at least reply to the commTDi-
cation of the chief executive.
At the present time the shipping men
are congratulating themselves Upon
their success in getting away their
boats with non-union hands. They say
they can get along without the
sailors of the union il the pres
ent conditions prevail, and there
fore they are not in any hurry
regarding an early settlement of
the trouble. The peaceful. attitude
which the water front has presented
since the strike commenced also helps
the owners, and they say they are sat
isfied with the turn affair have tIksn.
Yesterday morning A. D. Higgins,
first mate of the steam schooner J. II.
Higgins, announced thai he had been
beaten by a member Of the Sailors
Union in front of the latter's headquar-
ters. He claims he was attacked with
out any cause whatever, and made
report to the United Shipping and
Transportation Association. though he
did not go through the formality OF Wis
iting the police authorities.
The pickets of the Sailors Union
called upon Captain Martin Of the har-
Dor station yesterday morning and In
formed him that there was a boy being
detained on board the steam schooner
Noyo against his will. officer Mackey
was detailed on the case and took the
lad off without interference. The boy is
colored and his name Is John Douglas.
The captain of the vessel said he was
not OBTAINING Douglas against his will,
but the latter seemed glad when the
policeman took him ashore.
Attorney Frank. appearing for the
United Shipping and transportation
Association appeared before Superior
Judge Kerrigan yesterday morning and
asked that an injunction be issued
against the members of the Sailors, :,
Marine Cooks and Stewards and Fire
mems unions. restraining them from
taking off or in any way interfering
with the crew of the schooner Sea
Foam. now getting ready 90 depart for
northern ports.
The owners evidently received infor-
nation to the effect. that the union
pfckets contemplated a trip to the Sea
Foam with a view to inducing the
crew to leave. and the injunction is the
result So far the pIckets have nor
bothered their heads abouT this vessel.
but the owners do not wish to take any
chances If there is way Of preventing
such trouble by due process or the law.

TEMPORARY BOOTHS MUST CLOSE
BY JULY L, SAYS MAYOR
order VIII Apply to stands Erected
ON Principal Streets Where
Traf1c Is Impeded.

The Mayor. through the Police De-
partment. will in few days issue an
order removing the booths. soda water
stands and tents from such crowded
thoroughfares OF the city as Market
and Fillmore streets and possibly from
Van Ness avenue. In the opinion Of the
Mayor the emergency to which they
owe their being has passed. and the
owners will be given until July to
clear the crowded thoroughfares OF the
rude shacks.
The issuance OF the order gave
rise to a rumor that the booths are
being ordered removed to give pri-
vate concern a monopoly on the sale
of beverages along the principal
streets. This report Mayor Shcmitz
strenuously denied and added that no
privilege would be granted to any per-
son or persons OF which others could
not also take advantage.
