PROPONENTS OF
HARBOR PLANS
RESENT ATTACK
Meeting Called at Mission Pro-
motion Hall to Discuss
IsIais Creek Bonds
Campaign Waged by James Nc
Nab and Lumber interests
Causes Protest

Proponents of the India basin act
have been aroused to indignant action
by the latest move of the socalled San
Francisco harbor league. which has
been flooding the state with adverse
literature Much of this opposition
has been credited to the big lumber
interests of the city who have been
enrolled among the opponents of the
act The indignation of the India ba-
sin act committee has been further
aroused by the action of James McNab,
whom it charges with dragging the
Panama-Pacific exposition company in
10 the controversy and attempting to
align ii with those who are opposed to
the Islais creek bonds.
McNab, in signing as an opponent,
registered himself as a director Of the
exposition company. This, it is argued,
was done for the purpose of crea ting
the impression that the exposition Of
icials were opposed to the India basin
act, whereas it is said the exposition
company has no interest in its success
or failure and has taken no side.
McNAB'S ACT RESENTED
The many men and organizations
who are working for the success of the
bond issue resent the innuendo cast
by McNabs action. They maintain that
his opposition is that of a private in
dividual and that he had no authority
TO attempt to make the exposition COM
pany back his opinion. They also point
out that while president Of the cham
Der OF commerce last year McNab sue
ceeded in preventing that body from
indorsfng the bond issue, but that the
present body has indorsed 1t and is
working strenuously for its success
he n
McNab and the Harbor league a mass
meeting has been called for tonight
at the Mission Promotion association
hall. where protests will be voiced
against the mode of campaign of op-
ponents of the measure. The present
method of campaign, it is argued, is
hurting all the bond issues in the in
terror of. the state.
Among the speakers tonight will be
men who have taken UP the fight in
favor of the Islais creek bonds. Among
them will be James Rolph Jr-, w. j..
Barrett, Matt L Sullivan, George L.
Center. William H. Ford, Supervisor
Charles Nelson. Senator Richard Welch
and Eustace Cullinan-
INCOME TO PAY EXPENSE
The Islais creek proponents will
take action at tonight's meeting to
see that the state is told of the true
facts in the case and the reasons why
the success of the Islais creek bonds
is necessary in order that the state
may wrest from private control So
blocks of submerged land that will be
useful for docking.
The revenue obtained from the nine
miles of wharfage which could be
constructed in the basin, Ii is esti
mated, would more than pay for the
expense of purchasing the basin dur
ing the "a years that the bonds
would run. Payments on the bonds
are TO be made from the revenues
Of the harbor. so that the rest of the
state will not be asked to contribute

making the car run smoothly his serv-
ices were impiored to give a lesson in
motoring. Jones visited the home of
the BARRIERS many times after the first
course of instruction, and he and his
pupil became fast friends. That is why
there was no surprise when 1t was an
nounced that they were to be married.
Yesterday was the day, and the cere-
mony was performed In the beautiful
grounds encircling the Barber home at
Ross. Rev Herbert Cowley Carroll,
rector of ST. Johns Episcopal church

man.

PEARY SUED FOR
VALUE OF FURS

Berlin.-Rudolph Rancke, who was
associated with Dr. Frederick A. Cook
in Arctic exploration, has brought suit
against Commander Robert E. Peary
for 10000. The amount is estimated
at half the value of furs and walrus
and norwhal teeth which Francke
bought from natives in the Arctic re
gions, upon the arrangement with DR..
Cook that they should share them
half and half
According to Francke's statement,
Commander Peary found him serious
II i'll at Etha. owing to a fall on a
glacier and took advantage of this
circumstance to demand the entire
collection as the price for transport
ing him to America Francke claims
he did not act on his own free will
but by compulsion. and says that
Peary set aside a part of the collec-
ticn to present to eX-President Roose-
velt
The papers in the suit were served
on Commander Peary at a hotel last
evening. He refused to take them
when they were handed him by de-
putty, and the officer then laid them
on a table in the presence of a wit
ness. calling the commanders atten-
tion to the fact that this was a legal
service.
Early in the day. when the report of
a court action was being noised about.
the commander sought out the Am
erican Ambassador David Jayne Hill,
and submitted the case to him. He
declared later that he left the matter
in the Ambassadors hands and had
washed his hands of the whole af-
fair. He declined to make any state
ment with reference to the suit.
Commander Peary gave a lecture
last night to a crowded house.
