arrest not only those who we're in
ducing the laborers to leave but also
those who were aiding and abetting
them, those who were running the
! launches and boats l did not make
any response to his remarks but
phoned to the sheriff and reported
the gist of Mr. Kinney's comments.
Scenes at the Wharf.
There was no copy of the law in
the station and the sheriff, who came
down Immediately, went over to one
of the newspaper Offices to see
copy of the law, in the meantime tell
/ ing me to send officers down to the
wharf to see if anyone was inducing
| laborers to leave. l sent Sergeant
Kellett of the detective force down to
the wharf and after waiting for the
return of the sheriff decided to go
down myself. l arrived at the wharf
few minutes before the sheriff did.
The sheriff asked for the captain of
the launch and we all rushed on to
the schooner which was tied there.
The schooner was away from the
wharf and right ahead was a gasolene
launch and further down the wharf
was the James Makee tied up and
outside of the James Makee was a
scow, the launch being made fast to
the scow.
y Sheriff Jarrett, Chief Detective Nc
lDuffie, Sergeant Kellet, MIR. Taylor and
myself and all jumped on the James
Makee together and then over the
side into the scow. We shouted for
. the captain but getting no response
called to the engineer of the launch to
stop his engines, Taylor in the mean
time making the scow fast with a
loose rope to the schooner. AS the
engineer did not stop his engines Nc
Duffie jumped on to the launch and
again told him to do so, whereupon
= the engineer shut off the engines.
Miller Said Go Ahead.
Captain Miller then appeared on
the scene and the sheriff informed
him that he was violating the law and
had better desist, but Captain Miller
paid no attention to the advice given
except to order the engineer to go
ahead. This he did, and as we had
nothing on which to hold the launch
we cast off the rope and the scow
was towed out. There was a lot of
people N the schooner and we knew
l of no violation of the law. Sheriff
t Jarrett was in command and no orders
came from him to hold the launch or
the scow.
5 Craig Not On Wharf.
. when l returned to the wharf
: stood there for a few minutes and
: heard someone say that Craig was
o there. l remarked that had not seer
n him and looked around for him. San
e Chillingworth was with me at the mo
l., ment and asked Isn't that the white
2 fellow that can speak Filipino?' l TOLD
t him that it was not so. AS we passed
e out from the wharf towards For
s street this interpreter passed anC
e Chillingworth said: There is Craig.
= But l told him he was mistaken. Thi!
e is probably how the impression arose
that Craig was on the wharf. There
d was man there who in the dark re
o sembled Craig, but l sized him up al
e soon as l saw him. Mr.. Craig wa
p not on the wharf; l did not see hin
i there. If he had been on the wharf
would have got hold of him though
l didn't have the warrant for his al
o rest. 1 would have told him that
e warrant had been issued and woult
g have held him until l found the office
fl who had it.

It about the same time that the Sheriff
n did and while standing there Detec
