SHIP OWNERS AND
ENGINEERS DISAGREE
Effort to Bring About Peace in NaViga-
ton Trouble Is Frultless-Union's
Demands Too High, Say
Employers

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. THE
meeting this afternoon between repre-
sentatives of steam schooner owners
of San Francisco and a committee from
the Marine Engineers association was
a lively one, and considera BILE bitterness
was shown, but the meeting closed with
no agreement having been reached.
The committee of engineers will pre-
pare a new statement as to the require
ments of the engineers, and the meet
ing will be continued on Monday, when
this will be considered.
Owners of steam schooners state that
rates on freight have fallen from $3.50
to 81 during the last few months, and
that while they are willing to pay the
wages asked by the engineers at the
present time, they are so hedged about
by conditions imposed by the union
men that they cannot afford it.
One of these conditions is the re-
quirement that all steam schooners
carry three engineers, and that over
time be paid after certain hours of each
day. Regulations regarding shore
leave and other things are also point
of difference.
Indications now are that unless some
agreement is reached early in the COM
ing week a strike will be called, as the
owners are determined to eliminate
some of the regulations they claim are
unfair. Other unions, such as the sail
ors and stevedores, may be drawn into
the trouble.
There are about forty steam schoon-
ers lying idle at East Oakland for want
of cargoes to carry at the present time.

APPOLNTEE is
TURNEDDOWN
R0SSlTER FAILS TO GET PLACE
OF PUBLIC PRINTER
prove Bond on Ground That
President Exceeded His
Authority
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7-William S.
Rossiter, appointed as acting public
printer in place of Public Printer Still
lings. went to the treasury department
today to have his bond approved.
The treasury department refused to
consider the matter, on the ground that
the president had exceeded his author
ity in appointing Mr.. Rossiter; that
under the law the assistant public
printer succeeds to the vacancy.
Under this informal ruling Mr. Ros-
sitter later in the day stepped aside, and
his place was taken by Captain Brian,
the assistant, who will administer the
government printing Office as acting
public printer for the time being.
Mr.. Rossiter, however, does not re-
linquish the work of inquiry laid out
for him by the president. His position
in the government printing office be-
comes that of the presidents personal
representative and he is proceeding
with the investigation
Late this afternoon Captain Brian
took the oath of office as acting printer
and Immediately entered upon the dis
charge of his duties.

Modern Efforts

1.-THE Trend of Modern Day Efforts
Against Tuberculosis" was the central
thought of an interesting talk by DR..
George H. Kress, which the speaker
illustrated by a series of nearly forty
slides.
Beginning with the statement that
years ago tuberculosis was so preva-
lent that the Germans had a saying
that every one has little tuberculosis,
and that a few years ago a scientist
found that as high as 81 per cent OF all
dead persons examined had evidence Of
previous tuberculosis in their lungs, he
said that while these figures were prob
ably high, 1t is not improbable that IS
per cent of all persons at some time or
other in their lives contract this dis
ease. A slide was then thrown on the
screen showing the comparative NOR
tality from tuberculosis in the differ
ent states. California having a per cent
of over 10 and rating in this respect
among the highest in the Union. The
reason for this, it was alleged, is the
influx of eastern consumptives in adj
vanced stages OF the disease who should

ton by the judge he walked across the
room and placed the marbles in the
storekeeper's hands, the man smiling
griinly as he recovered his property.
The candy and gum had long since
disappeared. The mother of the boys,
Mrs. James Maxsun, said she had nine
children and tie care of such large
family gave her little time to watch
over the entire brood.
Admits Smoking
Robert, the little fellow, confessed to
the Judge he was a smoker Of cigar
cites, picking up stubs on the street in
order to take on the appearance of a
man. Both were manly little fellows
and were allowed to go home after
promising to be better in the future.
Harold Copen sat in his seat for a
half hour or more awaiting the call to
come forward. Letter by letter he
studied out the words above the judge
desk, Gently to hear: kindly to Judge.
He came forward on tiptoe and looked
with commisseration upon the judge.
He has a bad habit of running away
from home, his mother said, and When
she threatened to report him to the
Juvenile court he told her to &C
ahead" which she did. Rather than
go to school he found employment in

tator as the boy resumed his seat.

asked, with a note of compassion in his
voice for the ignorance of his ques-
toner.

Lads Tell of Incidents That Prompted
Them to Do Wrong and Grace
fully Accept Their Pun
ishments

Two negro boys, one slightly taller
than his companion, stood in the
juvenile court yesterday, the taller one
idly twirling his hat. while his comrade
frequently turned with longing eyes to
the comfortable armchair behind him.
"Yassir' OATS me-" said the tall one
when asked IL his name was Joe Bemis

The barber for whom both had
worked, promised to take them back
and they were placed on probation fol

RIVAL WIVES MEET;
HEAR OF TWO OTHERS
Women Are introduced at Police
Station and Learn That They
Ae Married to the
Same Man


Ry Associated Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-TWO women, both
claiming to be the wife of the same man
and both having letters purporting to
prove that he was the husband of two
other women, were introduced to each
other at the Maxwell street police sta
zion today.
Photographs of the husband who both
said had deserted them carried by the
complainants, Miss Annie Reingold of
this city and Mrs. Sarah Dossin OF st.
Louis, led at once to the discovery that
the missing spouse of each was the
same man.
Another joint surprise came when
Mrs. Dossin asked Miss Reingold: AIRS
lou Mrs. julius Brownston of Montreal,
Canada? I've got letters to prove that
INV husband married her before he mar
ried me-" to which Miss Reingold re-
torted by suggesting that perhaps Mrs.
Dossin was really Mrs. Rosa Dossick
of New York, who, she said, she had
been informed had married her hus-
rand before she had herself met him.
Mrs. Dossin has heard that the object
of the Joint search is in Cleveland.

and in public places which is now prac-
tically a dead letter on our statute
books DR.. Bridge believes should be
enforced, and when one man is now ar
rested once a year the records should
show one or more each day until the
nuisance is done away with. Proposed
legislation looking toward the exclu-
sion of the hopeless consumptive from
the state, the speaker does not believe
is feasible, although desirable for the
sake of the state as well as for the
poor invalid. Such a law, he believes.
could not be executed fairly, equitably,
without harshnesS and without in
justice. But in the place of this, when
the question comes up in the Legislature
again for creating a state sanitarium
, for the poor consumptives of the state,
then DR.. Bridge says that the club
women should favor an affirmative and
use all their influence to further the
plan.
Milk, pure and impure. was dis
cussed briefly, and the assertion made
that the science of the hour shows that
milk probably does distribute tuber"
culosis to some degree; the influence of
the audience was asked in favor of
keeping politics out of the health de-
partment, that a rigid inspection of all
dairies be insisted upon and that Of
tenders be brought to punishment to
milk.
1.-THE great trouble with all who want
TO do good and help reforms said DR..
Bridge, lis that they are tempted to
imagine that the great good they can
do is over on the other side of the
mountain. The thing for this club to
do is the thing that lies. at their hands.
They can see that the consumptives
about them, If men, shall never wear
long boards and mustaches to distribute
the germs and the sputum. They can
educate their people and themselves to
always be in fresh air and in a draft,
as only in this way can anyone be sure
that every breath is new and clean. In
this country it is never too cool to
have fresh air in the house night and
day-if it is too cool for comfort then
employ artificial heat and use more
clothing, but never shut out the air
At the close of his address DR.. Bridge
replied to questions from the audience.
