YOUTHS REGRET
THEIR BARGAIN
White Boys Agree to Work
in Alaska Canneries as
Chinese, but Are Sorry
SANTA CLARA DELAYED
Rough House in steerage Is
Made When Chopsticks
Are Supplied at Meals

There was trouble on board the ship
Santa Clara yesterday because seventy
white men who had contracted TO work
in the Alaska canneries as Cinnamon OBJ
1ected 10 being treated as suck on board
ship. Some OF them returned their ad-
vance money and were allowed 10 go
ashore The others had spent The money.
and after long and noisy argument bowed
10 the inevitable and decided to make the
best of q bad bargain
At this time of year the Alaska Pack
ers Association sends north on the ships
that will bring home the seasons salmon
pack the men 10 catchs the fish and the
men TO man the canneries The fishermen
are engaged directly. The eannery hands
are usually Chinese and Japanese, and
these are supplied TO the association by
contractor, who agrees to deliver so many
men 10 such a ship at such a date. The
contractor makes his terms with the asso-
ciation and the best he can with the men
ne hires.
Chinese cannery hands are scarce this
year, and the Japanese are holding out
for more money. E. Levin was the labor
contractor who agreed TO supply for ship
ment on the Santa Clara 800 Chin-se. He
sublet the contract to Book Hoo of 721
Commercial street
Book was able to get only 290 Chinese,
enty white youths. The Alaska Packers
Association had made provision in the for
ward end of the ship for 800 Asiatics.
Clerks and superintendents filled the cab
in, the fishermens quarters were crowd
ed and when it was found that among
the Chinese were seventy whites there
was no place TO put the Caueasians but
among the Chinese.
Hence the trouble
The whites were nearly all boys of the
Chimmie Fadden type, and many of them
were under the influence of liquor when
they boarded the Santa Clara on Sunday
night. 1t was not until yesterday morning
when they awoke and found Cinnamon
bunked all around them that they realized
what their contract really meant. At
breakfast tirne each youth was given a
bowl Of rice and two chopsucks. Then
the steerage went crazy. and for an hour
or so pandemonium reigned.
The Santa Clara was hauled into the
stream, and all afternoon on her afteg
deck Levin. Book Hoo and their seventy
constructive Chinese ''chewed the rag"
as the latter would have said. Those who
had not spent their advance returned it
and were set ashore. The others will go
to Alaska as Chinese, with Book Hoo's
promise to comfort them: Plenty lice
thlee times a day, and hunder forty dol
lar wen yeu come back

State Association Considers
Important Matters at Its
Sixth Annual Session

The California Public Health Association
held its sixth ser1i-annual meeting yester-
day in the rooms Of the local Board OF
Health al the City Hall Twenty-Five del
egates We're present. The papers and dis
cussions had for subject mainly the water
supply and sewage Of the State.
In his paper on The Condition of Cali
fornia Water Supplies, DR.. n. X. Foster,
secretary Of the State Board OF Health.
sounded a note Of alarm. The lakes and
streams Of this State, which were once
our pride" he said. are fast becoming
open cesspools and sewers. blot upon
our civilization and q ulenace 10 our
health. The waters once so pure are now
polluted with the collected excrement of
thousands OF human and domestic ami
mails. Their beds are a mass of decompos-
ing slime and their banks a dumping
ground for the waste of country and city
life"
After describing the condition of the
Sacramento and Truckee rivers. which he
termed particularly bad. DR.. Foster said
Of the water supplies Of San Francisco
and Oakland: They are little better of.
Much of the watershed OF the reservoirs
is used for agricultural purposes. In sum-
mer campers use them for their sewers as
well as their supply"
AS a remedy for these conditions Fos-
ter recommended that State engineering
department be organized, without the per-
nit Of which 10 sewer system or water
plant could be installed
The paper Of Professor Charles S. Hyde
OF the University OF California on The
Sanitary Quality and Publication Of Pub
lie Water Supplies" was rich in docu-
mentation and original research Hyde
said that deaths from 'swater-borne' dis
eases were twelve in 10000 with properly
filtered water. eighteen with pure ground
water, tWenty-foar with, impounded pro-
tected supplies. twenty-eight with water
from long rivers, thirty-nine with water
from large lakes. forty-four with upland
streams and from seventy TO 1000 with pol
luted waters.
Sanitary Disposal Of Sewage" was the
subject Of George L. Hoxie. City Engineer
Of Fresno. He recommended the sea
where possible. and septic tanks for in
land towns. the sewage then being used
for irrigation.
DR.. Charles F Clark of Willis then
opened the discussion. in which nearly
every one took part.
The election Of officers resulted as fol-
lows: President, DR.. William Simpson of
San Jose; vice president. DR.. James W.
Ward; secretary, Dr. y. X. Foster.
In the evening the association was ban
quoted by the Bohemian Club. The next
meeting viii take place in San Jose in
October.
.Itsvaszdecided after & discussion TO ap-
point g committee TO confer with the Mex
ican Government toward the esta blish-
Tnent OF a vaccination zone of three miles
on each side Of the State line.
The committee on tuberculosis presented
a model ordinance for cities. The ordin-
anee makes drastic provision for the COM
pulsory reporting OF cases of tuberculosis.
The committee, however, will confer with
medical associations before reporting fully
in favor OF this ordinance.

This happened on the outward voyage:
The Acapulco left Acajutla about dusk
and darkness found her speeding south
as fast as her engines would drive her.
F. GUardow is the Acapulco's boatswaiu.
As the mates chief deputy should. he
was busying himself strengthening I'D
the decks. Uttered with the disorder of
departure from -Acajutla- In climbing
over pile Of freight he lost his balance
and tumbled overheard.
Several Mexican sailors witnessed the
boatswain's disappearance, but instead
OF giving the alarm rolled cigarettes and
speculated calmly as TO the identity of
the man overheard. Somebody suggested
that it might have been the boatswain
They decided 10 investigate. The boat
SWANS room was vacant He was not TO
be seen on deck. The boatswain must
be overheard.
Rolling another cigarette and stopping
10 light il as he went, one Of the sailors
ssuptered to Captain Trasks room and
reported that the boatswain had fallen

What Captain Trask said was in Span
ish, West Coast sailor Spanish. There is no
equivalent for what ne said in the polite
United States used by the newspapers
While he was saying il. however. he was
giving orders The steamer stopped and
was steaming back along her wake trail
by the time the lifebost was ready for

After a long search the life-savers
found Guardow. The tropical water was
warm and the boatswain a good swim
mer He had been swimming for half an
hour. however, and the sight Of the re-
ceding hull OF the Acapulco had not
cheered him up very much. The people
in the boat were surprised to find him,
as these wathers are infested with sharks
of the man-eating variety. and the search
had been more a matter Of form than
anything else.
As they helped the dripping man over
the side one of the sailors who had
speculated on his identity peered into
the boatswain's face. AS he turned
away he remarked. TO q shipmate, IT'S
