Mystery Of Paderewski
and Irate Cabby
Combination of Circumstances
i'm Incident at Ferry Causes
Public to Wonder

A belligerent cabby, an irate and
highly nervous Paderewski and a pa
tient public waiting to be thrilled into
ecstasy by the wizard OF the keys are
the elements of mystery revolving
about the belated concert given by the
great pianist at Ye Liberty theater in
Oakland Friday afternoon.
why it all happened no one knows;
but it is said that when the great mn
sician reached the foot of Market
street the windows of the carriage in
which he was being driven to the ferry
were smashed, that the driver ex-
pressed himself in an argot particular
ly abusive. and that PaderewskPs
nerves were stretched to the swapping
point.
Somebody had broken every window
in the carriage. A trembling, reckless
boot might have done the damage. The
audience, waiting. did not know what
was keeping the admiration of the mu-
sicaI world. Genius. 1t meditated, must
be received with grain OF Indulgence
One story recites that it was the
boot of Paderewski that did the dam
age. The great musician was in a
highly nervous state. the driver sur
missed. and vented his distemper on
the windows of the carriage to relieve
the fit of ganina while ON ths way to
the ferry.

San Jose's Saloon Filled With

in Night Robes
Vessel Runs Into Fierce Gale Off
Pigeon Point and Is
Damaged

The steamship San Jose arrived
yesterday, after having passed through
a fierce gale. which caused the pas
sengers to rush from their rooms in
scant attire and flock to the main sa-
loon, where many of the women knelt
and Historically prayed heaven to
preserve them from the raging ocean
The starboard rail was smashed in
all the cabins on the starboard side
were flooded, and nearly every article
of crockery, china and glass aboard
the steamer was shattered.
The San Jose ran into the storm Sat
urday afternoon. The wind blew strong
from the southeast and high seas be-
gan running. Captain Thompson
slowed the vessel to half speed
AS night drew on the storm increased
and by midnight the vessel was in the
midst of a terrific hurricane Great
waves beat upon the ship from every
direction and tossed the sturdy vessel
about like a cork Toward l O'Clock
Sunday morning the storm became sc
violent that many of the passengers
were thrown from their berths. One by
one they donned bath robes and stag
gered from their state rooms into the
main saloon.
There the women knelt and prayed
for the safety of the ship.
All the rooms of the officers and
crew on the main deck were flooded
and tie men with their effects, or as
much as they could. carry, were removed
to the upper deck.
About this time a huge wave hit the
ship and wrecked the starboard life
boat and carried away part of the
rail.
At the same moment the crockery
glassware and china was hurled from
the safety racks. The crash added tc
the alarm of the women passengers
and was the signal for more prayer The
ship trembled from stem to stern
while the women alternately screamed
and in terrified voices intoned their
supplications to the Almighty.
First Officer Johnson, who. was at the
wheel, was twice hurled from his po.
sition. and although not seriously hur,
was painfully bruised.
Captain Thompson kept the bridge
all night, and his careful seamanshir
several times averted terrible dis,
aster.
The San Jose brought 72s tons OF

Ten thousand persons looked to-

In a succession of snow, sleet
and rain storms outside the pa
rishioners stood for hours patient
ly waiting their turns. There
was no untoward demonstration.
Because of falling health,
Father Leo had been transferred last
September to Denver, where, at the

murderer of Father Leo Heinrichs. was
in Chicago before the assassination in
Denver and addressed the Giordano
