THROUGH PRECEDENTS
Supervising Inspector Makes New
One by Suspending Sub
ordinate Act.

United States Supervising Inspector
Birmingham established a precedent
yesterday when he suspended for forty
days the sentence of suspension passed
by United States Local Inspectors
Bolles and Bulger upon Captain E. II.
Nielsen of the steamer Constance. Sew
eral weeks ago Captain Nielsen allowed
the steamer to strand upon Castro
Rocks. in the bay of San Francisco,
and he was by the local board con-
Hicted Of negligence and sentenced to
be suspended from has duties as master
and pilot for sixty days.
In his decision yesterday Inspector
Birmingham said that A. E. Anderson,
manager of the California Transporta-
tion Company line of river steamers,
had represented to him that in order to
prosecute successfully business during
the fruit season it would be necessary
TO have the services of Captain Nielsen.
owing to his acquaintance with the
sloughs Of the Sacramento River. In
view of this representation, Inspector
Birmingham suspended the suspension
for the period OF forty days, after
which period Captain Nielsen must sur
render his license for the unexpired
twenty days remaining.

ROWE WILL ATTACK
LUMBER TRUST.
Independent Dealer to
Give Evidence to the
United States Attorney
COMBATS COMBINE

Frederick II. Rowe. Independent lum-
Der dealer, will probably give informa-
tion to United States District Attor-
ney Robert T. Devlin, which VIII lead
to the sudden breakup OF the lumber
trust that has been forcing up prices
on the city of San Francisco.
Rowe is one of the few independent
dealers left in San Francisco. He is
In no way connected with the trust 1t
is claimed that Rowe, who formerly be-
longed to the San Francisco Lumber
mems and Manufacturers Association,
was twice forced out of the organiza-
tion and his entrance bond of 5000 for
feited because he refused to arbitrarily
raise the price of lumber at the order
of the executive committee of the trust.
Because of his independent action he is
said to have been expelled from the
trust
Rowe sailed yesterday for Eureka,
but he will return in few days
United States District Attorney Devlin
will return to the city on Friday to
begin an active investigation OF the
methods of the lumber trust. He Will
send for Rowe TO come and tell him
what he knows of the wholesalers or
ganization. This testimony Will un-
doubtedly be of a sensational order, for
Rowe is acquainted with the inside
workings of the trust and is fearless
enough TO tell WHdI he htoWS ~ ihAS
Federal Grand Jury.
Rowe's trip north is for the purpose
of buying lumber. 1t is said that he
has been denied the privilege OF pur-
chasing lumber through the trust yards
of San Francisco. This will make good
evidence for the Grand Jury.
1t is alleged further that the trust
charges certain favored contractors 81
less per thousand feet for lumber than
1t does other builders, The Federal
Grand Jury will investigate this ac-
cusation against the trust.
Assistant United States District At
torney A. P. Black said this afternoon
that If Rowe would produce evidence
