.FARRELLY TELLS ABOUT
THREATS BY P|cKETs
Guard Says Sailors Boasted
That the Unions Owned
the TOWN.
INTIMIDATION USED
Many Acts in Contempt of
the Courts Injunction
Are Alleged
INTIMIDATION

Joseph Farrelly. forme9ly a guard
for the shipowners associst tion, was a
witness before Referee Clement Bennett
yesterday in the matter of the con-
tempt proceedings Instituted against
the sailors union by the Hammond
lumber company. and he told of many
threats on the part of the strikers. He
said that the unions pickets had often
boasted to him that San Francisco was
union town; that the strikers
controlled the police and that union
men could not be convicted. while nom
union men would be. Farrelly said
that the union men had frequently de-
clared to him that the nonunion
guards were worse than the non
union men themselves, because If it
were not for the guards the pickets
would take the nonunion crews off the
boats; that Andrew Furuseth had told
him that If the guards or nonunion
sailors did any shooting they would
be sent across the bay and that If the
guards went ashore the strikers would
have the police search them for arms
and arrest them.
The witness swore also that the
pickets told him that during the
teamsters'- strike a nonunion man was
killed, but when the strike was over
the case was forgotten.
One day as the witness was ap-
preaching the mail dock to go on
watch he was met by six pickets armed
with clubs, he said. When within a
few yards of him one of them cried,
Now we've got your Farrelly opened
a satchel that he had in his hand. took
out his revolver and replied, You
haven't got me- and he succeeded in
getting aboard his boat without fur
ther molestation.
The witness related how he had been
followed home by pickets who told him
tfflt they had been detailed by Andrew
Furuseth to find out where the guards
lived They often threatened that they
would get" the witness after the srike
was over. There was trouble every day
with the pickets, as they insisted on
boarding nonunion vessels and taking
away the crews by force. The guards
were obliged to use gas pipes and re-
volvers to keep them off. Farrelly had
been obliged on three occasions to
draw his revolver on the pickets when
they became violent.
George J. Richardson. purser of the
Sea Foam, told about pickets from the
launch Escort taking the men by force
from the steamer National City. On
one occasion they caught hold of one
of the nonunion men by the leg and
threw him down upon the deck. where
upon woman passenger named Brile
drew a revolver to protect him.

According to woodcraft nearly $780,
zoe 900 pencils are made in the United
States every year To manufacture
these millions of pencils there are re
quired 10000 tons or 100000 feet Oh
wood. so that each day in the year 800
tons or 10000 cubic feet of wood
are used for pencils. Practically ali
the wood is red cedar. and since the
pencil industry is steadily growing the
supply of red cedar is greatly depleted,
yet no substitute has been found for 1t
Leaving out of consideration the i'm
ported pencils, the average educated
American over 10 years of age is esti-
mated as using six pencils OF nome
manufacture each year. Ten years ago
he used less than five. Small wonder it
is that red cedar is always quoted by
the pound.

RIGHT OF WAY CASE AGAIN.
(From tuesdays DallyD


In the court OF Justice of the Peace
Holman yesterday afternoon the suit
fthe right of way purchase COM
mittee for the Santa Fe shops against
S. p Mckinney for failure to pay all
OF the defendants subscription to the
fund for tho purchase OF ground for
the Santa Fe shops and yards came
up for trial for the second time. In
the former trial the jury reported
that 1t was unable to reach verdict
and was accordingly discharged
The suit grows out OF the sub
scrlption Of S. P. Mckinney to the
fuEd Mckinney subscribed 800.
OF this amount $66 remain upaid
and the committee through its treas
urer G. u. cakes, to whom all the
subscriptions were to be paid, has
brought suit for the collection Of
the balance.
The plaintiff alleges that the sub
scription being in the form OF a note
is legally binding upon the defend
ant The defendant acknowledges
signing the subscription but alleged
that he did so without reading the
condition at the top OF the paper
and solely on the representations Of
II. B, Sanborn, of the committee
Sanborn, he alleges made represen-
tatlons which have never yet been
fulfilled and therefore he claims the
right to repudiate the subscription
Madden G. Truelove represented
the plaintiff in the case and Hall &
Fredericks the defendant, The trial
took up most of the afternoon and
was holly contested on both sides.
The jury after some deliberation
brought in verdict finding in favor
of the defendant.
The plaintiffs in the case will ap-
peal to the county court and main
tain that they will finally win the
case. This is the first of suits for
non-paymept OF bonus subscriptions
and on the decision on this case will
hinge the settlement of other cases
OF the kind. The total amount of
the list outstanding is not large and
is mostly in small sums All the
large subscriptions have been settled
and the delinQuents subscriptions are
Of comparatively small Importance.

San Francisco, July 23,--The arrl-
val OF the steamship Pomona froL
the north Is anXlously awaited tcdav
as she Is known to have a number
OF survivors Of the steamer Column
bia on board
IL Is hoped that the loss OF life
has not been so large as was first re-
ported,
II Is known that OF the 1888 pas
sengers on the Columbia, ninety-sev-
en- were saved by the George W. FL
der which towed the San Pedro to
Eureka. There were city In the crew
OF the Columbia and OF these thirty
eight were on the Elder. Reports
from Shelter Cove announce the ar
rival Of one boat with fifteen more
passengers and the crew, leaving a
total death roll of nnety-elght SO
far only one boat arrived at Shelter
Cove but II Is said that before the
steamer sank six boats and three life
RATS were launched These are yet
to be accounted for and It is expected
that steamers passing up and down
the coast will succeed In picking
them up.
That so many escaped is an acci-
dent, strange to say, due to the fact
that the boilers exploded when the
steamer was sinking counteracting
the tremendous suction and saving a
number OF people in the water from
being drawn into the vortex. Not a
few passengers on the Columbia were
