glary in December of last year, Griffin
was given the opportunity of seeking
new chance for honor in the antipo-
des. But New Zealand and Australia
did not want the convict, and Griffin
was shunted about the south seas, here
and there, finding it hard to get on.
for the stigma of his conviction fol-
lowed him from port to port.
Finally. with the pleasant isles of
the seas frowning upon him, the young
man had longing to return to Cali
fornia and to see his mother, Mrs
Elizabeth Carrigan, who runs the Mon
terey hotel at Monterey. So at Pau
moto island the man slowed away on
the Mariposa, lived for 10 days in the
hold and then was discovered and put
in irons.
PENS TRAGIC NOTE
Griffin knew what was in store for
him in San Francisco if he was handed
over to the police. So he slipped out
of his handouts, or had a friendly
hand among the crew help him to
knock off the shackles. and penned a
strategic note. He wrote:
by the time you find this note I will
be in a watery grave, for / prefer it
to going to Jail. When a man is once
down society never gives him chance.
l hope my friends don't think hard of
dishonest since l had chance. But
couldn't land in Australia. Tell
mother and Frank not to think hard
of me and / hope they forgive. Lots
of love and good luck to both of them.
Goodby all. / guess you will know
who this is. J. c."
Captain Hayward suspected that the
note might be blind. so ordered the
ship searched. The crew could not find
Griffin. Then the police were notified
and Policemen George Tracey and r.
G. Stroup ransacked the vessel and
found the man hidden in one of the
boilers. He had intended to stay un-
der cover until nightfall and then slip
ashore. He was landed with more
ostentation than he had counted upon.
FACES PRISON SENTENCE
anime the man and then he will be
taken before Judge Cabaniss for SEN
tence on the charge of burglary, as
he has broken his probation. A prior
conviction on the charge of having
burglar tools in his possession hangs
over Griffin. Griffin is 27 years of age
and the crime to which he confessed
was the robbery, January 2, 1908, of
the hardware store of Edward e. Gil
Ion at 1892 Point Lobos avenue. He
was caught by Policemen Rourke and
Hawkins while operating on the safe
in the office.
Shortly after his arrest Griffin
showed signs of insanity and was un-
der treatment at the Ukiah asylum for
four months. Then he was tried and
banished from the United States for
five years.

CALHOUN'S CARMAN
DEFENDED BY COOK
Frank Davidson Arraigned for
Libel in Connection With
Streetcar Strike
Bowling to Be Tried First and
Defense Will Deny Every
Charge

Represented by expensive counsel
Frank e. Davidson formerly member
of the carmens union and now charged
with criminal libel in connection with
Patrick Calhoun's campaign to shift
| responsibility for the disastrous cal
strikes, was arraigned in Judge Deasy's s
court yesterday afternoon. BY agree
Wednesday, when it will be taken up
after the case against James II. Bow
ling, charged with libel in the same
connection, is disposed Of
Carroll Cook and Edward Moran ap-
peared for Davidson and Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Ward announced that
Matt I. Sullivan would be associated
with him in the prosecution.
The complaint, sworn to by Fremont
Older, managing editor of the Bulletin,
was read to Davidson and he pleaded
not guilty.
Sullivan then stated to the court that
he had just been associated with the
prosecution and asked for continu-
self with the facts. The opposing at
torneys stipulated that the case against
Bowling should be heard first.
Carroll Cook took advantage of an
opportunity during the discussion con-
cerning the continuance to throw out a
few dire hints in regard to the defense
which will be interposed to the charge
of libel against his clients, growing out
of the attempts of Bowling and David
son to betray Calhoun to Special Agent
Burns for $4,000. From his remarks
it was apparent that the defense in
tends to deny every charge in sight.
Browns Case Continued
Owing to the fact that no return
had been made on the search warrant
under which the offices of Luther c.
Brown, chief of the United Railroads
detective bureau, were searched in the
quest of property stolen from the dis
trict attorneys office, the setting of tine
case against Calhouns man was con-
tinued by Police Judge Deasy yester-
day afternoon until Saturday. Ear
Rogers, of Calhoun's retinue of attor-
neys, appeared for Brown.
Judge Deasy ordered that subpena
be issued for Sergeant Murphy, who
was in charge of the search, to appear
Saturday and make the proper return.
The case against the United Railroads
sleuth will come up at that time to be
set. but probably will be continued
pending a decision on the writ of pro-
hibition sued out by the United Rail
roads to prevent Judge Deasy from
holding a hearing on the warrants. Ir
the meantime Brown is under 81 SOC
bond to answer to a charge of grand
larceny.

STEAMSHIP k|sH
HERE IN DISTRESS

Flying signals of distress, the Brit
ish steamship Kish, bound from Van
couver for Hongkong with cargo of
lumber, showed up over the horizon
late yesterday afternoon and came to
anchor shortly before o'clock last
evening. Definite news regarding her
trouble could not be learned last night,
but it is known that her machinery is
considerably out of whack, though it
is probable that this will be repaired
while the steamer is anchored outside.
The Kish will continue her voyage to
China this morning if possible. She
may. however, be forced to come in
side and undergo repairs.
The Kish has a large deek-load of
lumber, as well as big consignment
in her hold. Her master is Captain
Robertson, who came ashore last night
to cable to the owners of the vessel
The Kish is a vessel of over 5000 tons
burden.

IMMIGRANTS MAY
MAKE TROUBLE

Forty Portuguese immigrants, secur-
ed by the Territorial Board of Immi-
grafton to work on the plantations,
arrived from British Columbia yester-
day afternoon on the liner Makura.
They were met at the wharf by Agent
Silva of the board, and their names
were all secured. In the party are
five families, several young babies, and
about twenty-five husky-looking young
men. They came mere from New Bed
ford, according to statement made
by one Of their number last evening.
While their expenses have been paid
to this place by the Territorial Board
of immigration so that they may be
put on the plantations as laborefs,
there is said TO be a disposition among
them TO refuse to leave the city. It
is said that the young men who form
the major portion of the party are
not disposed to go to work as planta-
ton laborers, preferring to remain in
town, where they say they will be able
to command better wages.
A statement to this effect was made
by one of them on the steamer before
she landed. They were, however, TAX
en- in charge last night by the Immi-
grafton Board.

EVANGELIST breaches IN

to get quick drink he might have
gasped just once and then run for his

him that he hadn' It got 'em at last;
for instead of the usual bunch of good

or twenty of them sitting with bowed
heads, with the gentlemanly bar-keep

COOPERATION
MEANS SUCCESS
DR.. Wilcox Addresses Chamber
OF Commerce on How to
Go to Market.

While the subject of the talk by DIR.
r.. Wilcox of the q. s. Experiment
Station before the Chamber of Com
meree yesterday afternoon was an
nounced by President Morgan as eco
operative Marketing the title might
well have been " Fraternal Cooperation
in Agricultural Commerce. /"
DR.. Wilcox gave very strong and
one might almost say pungent talk on
the subject of cooperation in the mar
keting of products. He started by re-
ferring to the many cooperative socie-
ties and associations on the mainland.
Every one of these protective organi-
cations have made big success and
have definitely stilled the various trusts
that were trying by lawyers arts, by
intimidation and by all other means
known to commerce to eliminate the
competition of the small producer and
the sales agent combined.
Even though DIR. Wilcox speech
were reported verbatim, it would be
impossible to carry in mere print the
force and energy of his speech, for it
was delivered with the knowledge OF
the subject on which he spoke and In
numerabl statistics to back it.
After DR.. Wilcox had finished, Mr..
Higgins, his assistant, spoke on the
subject of the cooperation arrived at
by the pineapple growers, who, having
combined, have been working hard on
the mainland to make a market fol-
Hawaiian fruit, and have achieved a
great success.
Unfortunately there was not large
representation at the meeting, so that
no definite action on the subject could
be taken, but a motion was put and
carried that the president appoint q
committee of five to look into the mat
ter of cooperative marketing of Ha-

were held.
