DOG SAVES HIS
MASTER FROM CAR
Big Newfoundland Jerks Drunk
en- Man Off Cable Tracks
Just in Time
Then He Stands Guard Over
Helpless Inebriate Until
Policeman Arrives

A big Newfoundland dog saved a
drunken man from death under a
cable car at California and Kearny
streets yesterday afternoon. After
having rescued his master he held off
for 10 minutes those who tried to
resusitate the man. who had fallen
in dead stupor. But finally becom-
ing alarmed for his masters safety
the dog changed his tactics and
barked for aid The actions of the in
telligent animal interested a large
crowd that gathered at the street cor
ner.
The drunken man, evidently from
the country was leading the dog
across California street by rope
when he stumbled in front of a west
to him, but he was unable to help
himself. The dog. however, caught
his master by the coat and jerked
him backward just as the car rushed
by.
The man stumbled to the sidewalk
and fell in heap. while people gath
ered< and suggested sending for the
patrol wagon But every time any,
body approached too close the dog
would growl and show his teeth, then
anxiously lick the mans face. Finally
he seemed to realize that his master
was helpless. At once he ceased men
acing inquisitive bystanders and, wag-
ging his TAIL seemed pleased when a
policeman carried the drunken man Off
to the city prison to sober up.

Schedule to Submit to
Ship Owners

If proposition which the executive
committee of the marine engineers
association is now considering meets
with the approval of the body of the
association settlement of the difficulty
between the ship owners association
and the engineers may be brought
about tomorrow or Tuesday.
Just what the terms of the proposed
settlement are had not been made pub
lie. but it is understood that the en-
gineers are arranging a schedule to
rate the number of men in a ships
crew-the bone of contention between
owners and notwithstanding to the
indicated horsepower of a vessels en-
gines, based on the length of the voy-
age it has to go.
The owners met yesterday at noon.
Beyond reaching a conclusion to con-
tinue the policy of tying up ships as
fast as they enter the harbor, the
owners did nothing of note. A NJ
Dollar, president of the owners asso-
citation, stated last night that the own
ers would do nothing further until the
engineers were heard from. He added
that in his opinion the trouble which
had tied up the coast lumber shipping
for three weeks was nearing the end
The regular meeting of the engineers
association takes place Tuesday night
1t is likely, however, that a special
meeting for tomorrow will be called,
and the proposition now in the hands
Of the executive committee be given
