TO BE MADE
TO SAVE SCHOONER
Wrecking Barge Will Leave To-
day and Try to Lift the
James Rolph

Hind. Rolph & Co. have not given
up hope of saving the schooner James
Rolph. which went ashore at Point
San Pedro Tuesday night. The steamer
Greenwood, with a wrecking barge in
tow and a crew of men trained for this
kind of work. will leave here today in
charge of Captain Whitelaw, who has
been engaged by the owners to make
an attempt to save the vessel An eff
fort will be made to blast away the
rocks that are protruding through the
bottom and holding the schooner a
prisoner
Captain Olsen and all of the crew ex-
cept Sam Treanor, mate, and Second
Mate j. Carter were brought to this
port yesterday afternoon on the tug
Defiance. Captain Olsen wanted to
stay by the vessel, but was ordered
home by the owners, as he was suffer-
ing considerable pain from a sprained
ankle sustained during the night.
Treanor and Carter will remain by the
ship and will render whatever assist
ance they can to Captain Whitelaw and
his wrecking crew.
James Rolph Jr. visited the wreck
again yesterday and says that he be-
lieves the vessel can be saved. At any
rate he is going to make the attempt.
and will not leave the schooner's bones
on the rocks as another testimonial to
the lack of wrecking facilities for
which this part OF the world has been
rather notorious if he can help It,
1t was reported yesterday that the
bottom had been torn out of the
schooner and that the masts were ready
to fall This, however, is denied by
Captain Lewis, marine superintendent
for Hind, Rolph G. Co., and by Cap
tain Olsen, who left the wreck at 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The crew of the schooner saved all
their personal effects. The life savers
from the Golden gate station returned
in tow of the Defiance.
Captain Whitelaw expects to have
the schooner in deep water by tomor-
row morning He is banking on the
power with which his new and hitherto
untried wrecking barge is equipped. He
believes that this barge with it's power
full machinery will do the work of six
tugs. He has seen the wreck, and be-
hind his judgment are many years of
practical experience.
James Rolph Jr. said yesterday that
ii is his intention to take up the matter
of improved wrecking facilities for this
coast.
1T should have been possible he
said ito have had a wrecking outfit at
the scene of the wreck on Wednesday
morning, and l will not rest until there
is such an equipment on this coast. We
build the best ships in the world here,
and when they go ashore we ought to
be able to take them off at short no
tice 1 will agitate the matter through
the commercial organizations and will
use my influence as president of the
Merchants exchange and as ship own
er. and although my plans have not
taken definite shape, 1 think this is a
matter in which we would be justified
in asking congress to give us assist
ance

APPEAR in COURT
His Attorney Announces He Has
Gone to Country on BUSH
ness Trip
Bench Warrant Issued for His
Arrest and Bail Raised
to $1,000

When the case of Major Arnett F.
check for SO on ]. C. OConnor, pro-
prietor of a cafe at Market and Eddy
streets, was called in Polices Judge
Conlan's court yesterday, the major
failed to appear. He was represented
by Attorney James p. Sweeney, who
informed the judge that Perry had evil
IDENTIFY misunderstood his instructions
to be in court, as he had gone to the
country on business, but would return
tomorrow.
"Well..,~said the judge, The needs to
be taught a lesson. 1t is poor ex-
cuse to say that he has gone to the
country on business. His duty is to be
here in court to answer the charge"
The judge issued bench warrant
for Perry's arrest and increased his
bail from $50 to $1,000, or $4,000 bonds.
The bench warrant was handed to De-
tectives McGrayan and Bert Wren. who
at once began a search for the elusive
major.
Colonel George H. Pippey was in court
expecting to have a talk with the
major about settling his indebtedness
to the Palace hotel of $3.50, and when
he did not appear he told the police
that he would at once consult with his
clients as 10 swearing out warrants
for the arrest of Perry.
Nothing more has been heard from
Mrs. Antonio Otto. 81 Central avenue,
who informed the police that Perry had
obtained $4,000 from her on May last
by false pretenses, and 1T is believed
she has been advised not to take any
steps to have him arrested on the
charge.
The police believe that the major
and his bride have left the city to-
gether and that Perry has no intention
of returning.

A contest of the will of Mrs. Theo-
rilda c. O'Neill. who died April IL,
1908, was begun yesterday by her sis
Ter. Thusnelda Z. Ingram, on the
ground Of unsoundness of mind and
undue influence alleged to have been
exercised by the husband of the de-
cedent. Lawrence O'Neill. There is a
wide disparity in the statements of the
size of the estate by the opposing
parties. O'Neill, who fled the will two
years after his wife died. stated that
the estate is worth less than 800. con-
sisting of money. watch, silver ware
and four oil paintings. Thusnelda Z.
Ingram, the sister, asserts the estate
is worth upward of $4,000. and in
cludes a valuable piece of realty at
the southwest corner of Mission and
Twenty-fourth streets.
Mrs. O'Neill left her estate in trust
for her husband and niece, Theorilda
N. Carroll. The contestant charges
that O'Neill Influenced his wife by
fraud, menaces and fraudulent repre-
sentations Of every kind and char
acter."
