presented by Walter Sanfords players
at the Central last night is billed as
a dramatic story of English field and

bloodcurdler as 1.-The Struggle for
Life" which ran last week, but makes
up for it by the element of comedy.
Harry Pollard again appears as the
noble young hero. James Corrigan, as

new but equally popular villain. The
female parts were taken by Maud Lita,

Society Is Present
Beautifully Gowned
as In Former Times
BY the Outsider

The house that greeted Madam
Butterfly" at the opening of the Van
Ness Theater last night was one of the
most brilliant and representative assem-
blages ever seen here. and the display
of exquisite gowns and jewels made il
difficult 10 realize the losses that have
been suffered within the last year
The house was filled. not a seat left
and. the spectacle of the hundreds of
elaborate coiffures and soft -hued
gowns, with the somber-garbed men in
contrast, did ones heart good by its
beauty and as evidence that conditions
in san Francisco were returning to the
normal.
Before o'clock carriages and auto
mobiles began arriving and until al
most 3 o'clock the throng continued TO
crowd the entrance. Van Ness avenue
looked as though il were the Mission
street OF old days.
Society owes a vote Of thanks to the
builders OF the theater because OF the
arrangement of the boxes. Not only
are they so built that no one has to
take second best view of the stage,
but there are no back seats to dim
the glory Of any costumes. In conse-
quence the scene is most attractive
when the rows of daintily gowned
women are viewed from any part of
the house There were many handsome
gowns noted, among them the follow

COLONIAL THEATER

Twenty three" has no malign sig
niicance for the Colonial Theater stock
company this week. IT opened its
twenty-thlrd week last night in AT
Piney Ridge" and although the house
was but fair the show was played to
an appreciative audience
The scene is laid in. the mountains
of Tennessee, and the human furniture
is moved about the stage with the reg
ularity Of the traditional melodrama.
The villain, Louis Bennison, does his
best, or worst TO defraud the hero,
Frank Bacon. of his name and prop
erty Izetta Jewell as the wronged
girl had part that permitted her
to show her versatility. With the ex-
ception, of Frank Bacon, the rest of the
characters were sufficiently we'll taken:
but one wonders why that actor, who
is one of Americas best character
comedians, is content to confine him

lifted the play out of the hopeless rut
of mediocrity.

AMERICAN THEATER

Teddy Webb and ''the bear opened

Carl Haydn had a recall for If You

BLAZING OIL COVERED
WAVES SET SHIPS AND
LONG WHARF on FIRE
Flames Shoot Up From Bay
Into Rigging of An
chored Vessels
TUGS GO TO RESCUE
Damage in the Remarkable
Spectacle Not More
Than $4,000

The oil on the waves that swirl
around the end of Long wharf. Oakland
mole, took fire yesterday afternoon,
and the blazing waters of the bay
threatened millions of dollars worth Of
shipping and wharves. To the prompt
arrival of a f1otilla of fire. fighting tugs
from San Francisco is due the fact
that the loss will not reach more than
$4,000.
The fire on the waves was started
by embers thrown from the firebox of
donkey engine used in hoisting cargo
from the hold of the British ship Whit
lieburn, Captain Braddon, from Ant
werp. 1t was o'clock and quitting time.
AS soon as the burning Goals struck
the oil floating on the water blind
ing sheet of flame fared up around
the bow of the Whitlieburn. scorching
the top of her boom sixty feet above
the water.
The French bark Boieldieu. Captain
Annette, laden with coke, was anchored
stern to bow with the British ship. and,
driven by the wind, the flames caught
fire in the rigging of the bark and
spread rapidly to the cabin and thence
to the hold, where the coke was easy
fuel. Meantime the floating fire had
caught hold of pier No. at dozen
places and a string of cars loaded with
hay added to the blaze.
But the tugs Relief and Fearless, the
Governor Markham and Governor
Irwin, leading fleet of other tugs.
were soon racing across the. bay and
forty streams of water were quickly on
the blaze. Captain Mcfarland directing
the battle. The fire was not extin-
guished, however, until the cabin of the
Boieldieu was completely gutted, its
rigging badly DANCED and the coke In
the hold partial loss. Six cars loaded
with hay were destroyed and about 100
feet of wharf damaged.
The possessions of Captain Annette
were saved by Vam Shoor, a sailor on
the Whitlieburn, who waded through
water to his shoulders and through
sitting smoke to the cabin to rescue
the strong box, which contained the
clearance paper, records and about $500
in money.
BY a very narrow margin the
schooner Oakland was saved from com
plete destruction. IL lay alongside the
BoieldIeu, but was towed out of the
reach of the flames by the Sea Lark in
the nick of time. The following tugs
took part in the battle with the fire
on the water: Governor Markham,
Governor Irwin, Relief, Fearless, Slo-
cum, Sea Rover, Sea Lion, Vigilant.
Pilot, Prince, Liberty, Sea Witch, Sea
Queen, Sea Lark, Sea Rover and Sea

CASE WAS NOLLED
Foreman Morgan Put Up Fight
 Against Forty Men.

Daniel P. Morgan, foreman for the O'Brien Construction company found himself cornered by gang of forty of his Italian laborers this morn- ing about o'clock, and thinking trouble was in air he went to his ca boose, took Gut a revolver and fired one shot in the air. This had the eff feet of scattering the men.
 Yesterday Morgan found it advis- able to discharge one of the men for the preservation of the peace on the scene of his operations, which is just above the Manhan canal. The dis charged man felt he was unfairly dealt with and he had convention of his countrymen called last evening to take measures to have him restored to his employment. When the men reported for work this morning half a dozen of them attacked Morgan with stones because he refused to take back the man. Morgan thereupon discharged his assailants, but this did not cause them to cease the at tsttN. lhStSstus upoli thNi' fellow laborers and Morgan found himself surrounded by about forty angry men, Then he ran to the ca boose, took revolver which is al- Ways kept loaded there for just such an emergency as this was, and, the men refusing to cease throwing stones, he fired one shot in the air with the result as stated.
 The men ran away, but it was to Assistant Prosecutor McGrath they ran, and with him lodged a com plaint for assault against :Iorgan. De- tective Colesanto brought Morgan in as city court was in session and as the case was not ready for trial it was adjourned to II o'clock. By that time however, Prosecutor MrGrath and Judge Burpee had ascertained all the facts in the case from Attorney Lynch, counsel for Morgan, and d nolle was entered. It was simply a case of one man against forty.

It may cost a trifie more than what the other fellows sell, but if the quality is better, and they say it is, then it's cheaper than the other fel- low sells. However, we begin Wednesday, June 19, to sell cream at 15 cents per half pint (not deliv- cred to your house). That's the price at our store, and it's we'll worth coming or sending for. Every COW on Meadowbrook Farm is regis tered Jersey cow" and you know that means the very best cream; therefore if you want the best, we've got it. People may say why are we beginning to sell cream. Let us tell you. Everybody who drinks coffee in tEe morning likes the very best they can get, and as cream improves the taste of coffee 50 per cent, we de- cided we would put on sale cream that is cream, not in name only, but the real article. Therefore if you are not satisfied with the coffee you are drinking just call at our store beginning Wednesday, June 19, and buy a pound of our 3S-cent coffee and one-half pint of cream 15 cents, and we promise you there isn't a person in the United States, our worthy Teddy" included, who has a better coffee to drink than your own dear self.
