Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
SAN RAFAEL. July 30.-wet, hungry
and weak from the perilous experience
which they underwent in a small fish
ing boat on the bay last night, three
well known young men of this place
managed to reach home safely this
morning, to the intense relief OF their
friends and relatives. who had been
searching for them throughout the
greater part of the night.
Frank o. Sirard. president of the
San Rafael business college; w. T.
Marshall, secretary of the same insti-
tuition. and E. B. Du Bots, manager OF
the Mount Tamalpais cemetery, were
the ones who went on the eventful
cruise that all but cost them their
lives and forced them to remain all
night in the open boat without food
or water. and no covering but their
wet clothing and a sail in the same
condition.
Dubois, who owns a fishing boat, in
vited Sirard and Marshall to go on q
cruise TO Mare island with him yes
terday.
All went well until the return voy-
age was commenced, when they en-
countered a strong adverse wind and a
choppy sea. Sirard, in telling of the
adventure said:
From Point Richmond to Point San
Pedro we tackled seven or eight times
and found that we had been driven
backward over a mile instead of max
ing any progress.
The boat pitched and tossed so thai
l became i'll and lay down on the deck
l had only been there a moment when a
wave came over the stern. and before
l could grasp anything 1 found myself
struggling for breath in the bay IL
it had not been for the presence OF
mind Of Marshall, who threw me a
/ rope, l would surely have drowned.
Finally we succeeded in making
Point San Pedro. About 9 o'clock we
started out again. Then our ruddeI
broke and by the time we hove in sight
of the San Rafael canal darkness had
set in. However, we continued to sail
using an oar to steer with, until sud
denly the boat struck a mud bar and
we swung around so suddenly that al
three of us were thrown over the side
into the water.
We anchored the boat there for the
night There was nothing left in our
| locker to eat or drink, and as our
clothing was wet we were all suffer
ing keenly from exposure When day
light came we hoisted sail again and
finally landed at the head of the canal

GENEROSITY OF THIEVES
RESULTED IN CAPTURE
Edward Mckee Sent to Prison
for Fifteen Years

Edward Mckee, convicted of burg
larry. was sentenced to 15 years I'M
prisonment by Judge Conley yester-
day. With two other men, Mckee
broke into a tailor store in Valencia
street and stole 20 bolts of cloth and
a quantity of ladies' garments. AS
they were running away the thieves
encountered one Pinet.
Cant man get some of that
asked Pinet.
Sure" said one of the trio, throw
ing him two bolts of cloth, as they
continued their fight. This was their
undoing Pinet took his two bolts to
the police station and reported the
occurrence. Officers went on hunt,
found the stolen property hidden in a
nearby vacant lot, and waited there
until 2:30 in the morning, when the
thieves came for the loot and were
arrested Clifford, one of McKee's COM
panions, has pleaded guilty and will
be sentenced later.
Mckee is the man who claimed the
police extorted confession from him
by beating him. His attorney Ed
ward ODea, son of Detective O'Dea,
severely criticised the police, and a
report was made by the officers con-
cerned denying the allegations.

reports received here from Spain con-
firm the terrible fury of the women
throughout Catalonia. At Barcelona
they fought behind the barricades with

Everywhere they resisted searches by
gendarmes for recruits for the re-

houses and firing at the soldiers from
the windows.

surrounded and disarmed the civil
guard and locked up the officials in

SPAIN CHECKS REVOLT
TROOPS HOLD BARCELONA
Mobs Center Fury Against the Churches and
Convents---Carlists Under Surveillance

MADRID. July 30.-The government
reports from Catalonia indicate that
the situation continues to improve.
Both King Alfonso and Premier Maura
were satisfied that the worst is over,
that the rebellion in Barcelona has been
quelled and that order soon will be re-
stored.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side,
large bodies of troops are being hur-
ried to the scene. Private dispatches
leaking out through the frontier indi-
cate that there has been great slaugh-
ter at Barcelona.
1t is understood that the king great
ly regretted the necessity of using
artillery, but yielded TO the arguments
of his cabinet ministers, that halfway
measures Of temporization might prove
fatal. There was great loss to prop
and converts, against which the fury
of the mob was conferred.
There is some apprehension that the
followers of Don Jaime, the pretender,
may attempt to raise the white flag
of the Carlists. The leaders. who main
tain a military and political organiza-
ton in northern Spain, are being close
~ watched.
The news from Barcelona that the
cavalry and troops have gained the
upper hand and captured the. main body
of insurgents and that only isolated
bands are holding out in the suburbs.
creates the greatest relief in official
circles here.
General Marina commander of the
Spanish forces in Morocco, reports there
is momentary quiet outside Melilla, but
no details of the situation of the army
at Melilla are given out, except that
Spanish achievements with new
commanding general have arrived here.

Mail advices from Madrid confirm the
report of the hostile demonstration
which greeted the king on his arrival
from San Sebastian and the rioting
which followed. Troops are constantly
marching through the streets with the
evident intention of overawing the
population. Frantic mothers vainly be-
siege the war office for news of their

1t is learned that SPANS disavowal

Realty
Building

T ONG before the ground
~ floor tenants of the Lincoln
Realty building, now associated
under the name of Lincoln
Merchants" opened their new
stores they were organized for
natural, mutual benefits. A big
part of the money that built the
building in which the Lincoln
Merchants" are installed was
supplied by each and every one
of the eight firms interested.
1t was this alliance that suggested
the formation of the LINCOLN
= MERCHANTS proper for combined
advertising purposes. Sure in the
knowledge that their location made
them the reUolping point for San Fran
cisco's retail trade, the Lincoln Mer-
chants" determined to combine, and,
without losing their individual ident-
ity, stand before the public of San
Francisco a united body of merchants
seeking business on a common basis
the basis of best values.
There are some things you can't
buy from the Lincoln Merchants
Mighty few, however. Pretty nearly
all your household and personal wants can
be supplied by these eight firms, individ-
ually known to San Francisco for fair
dealing, courteous treatment, right
service and the right merchandise.
To be the busiest stores in the
busiest block of San Francisco is the
ambition of the Lincoln Mer-
chants and every one of the eight
knows that this can be accomplished
only in one way-and that is by
giping dollar for dollar in value and
serpice that makes customer of the
casual pdtron-a customer who comes
again and again, because his or her
wants are looked out for in the right
way-not once, but all the time.
