HUMAN BUOY
SAVES A LIFE

SAN FRANCISCO, December 49,
William Galley, night man for the
Crowley Launch and Towboat Com.
pany at Vallejo street wharf, has fig
ured as the hero in many bay res
cues, but none of such an unusual va
riety as that of yesterday morning,
when the waterfronter became a hui
man buoy in order to save John Dun
bar, deck hand on the stern wheeler
Juliette, from Davy Jones' locker.
Day was breaking over the black,
ened docks as a dismal cry for help
reached Gatley's ears in the boat
house. He rushed forth and there saw
clinched hand stabbing the sullen
waters. Galley plunged in and soon
had hold of the hair of the drowning
man, and then he felt the clutch of
the desperate one around his neck.
Let co. shrieked Galley, "and I'll
get you out all right" but the grip on
his neck became more the tighter.
'All right, then, you boob" gurgled
the boatman. "If you don't let go
Wen stay here. You can't sink me-"
Gatley's avoirdupois is considerable,
and he has often been known to float
around the Vallejo street slip on hot
day, serene and smiling, for hours.
Encountered by the deadly clutch Of
the deck hand, Galley was unable to
reach the float, and there he bobbed
for nearly an hour until Jack Crowley
came to the rescue with block and
tackle.

PENSION PLAN
OF SUGAR TRUST

NEW YORK, December 17.-Stock,
holders of the American Sugar Rein
ing Company will be called upon the
next annual meeting to form a plan
to provide pensions to the company s
1900 officers and employees. Details
of the plan include provisions for re-
firing employees over sixty-fve years
old, after thirty years of service.
An appropriation of $4,000 is sug-
gested as the nucleus of the pension
fund. No pension under the proposed
plan will be less than $50 a month,
and none will exceed $500 a year. In
women, the age limit is set at sixty
and the terms of service at twenty
five years Should the plan be rati-
fed, male employees who have served
the company thirty years and women
twenty-five years in the service may
be retired without regard to age. The
amount of the pension will be: "A
sum annually equivalent to one per
cent average annual wage or salary
during the ten years preceding re-
tirement, multiplied by the years of
service"
All officers and employees of the
company, or of any corporation owned
or controlled by the company, the
statement says will be eligible for
the pension.
To employees discharged after ff-
teen years service, pensions may he
granted if the committee deems fit.
The only exaction of the benefciaries
embraced in the plan is that they do
not engage in any work which, in the
judgment of the committee, is in con-
fict with the company's interests.

100000 MUST
TAKE INSURANCE

LONDON, December 15.-The House
of Lords passed the insurance bill,
providing for compulsory insurance
against sickness and unemployment of
the working classes, through it's third
and final reading today. The bill is
now virtually completed, requiring
only to pass through the formality of
receiving the Kings assent.
The bill was presented to Parlia-
ment for action by David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer It
is an adjunct to the already existing
law providing old-age pensions.
Through the operation of this enact
ment it is calculated about 100000
men and 100000 women will be com
PEELED 10 insure. Small deductions
will be made weekly from their wages
and their employers will be compelled
to contribute a similar amount, to
which the state adds a further contri-
button, these three items forming the
premium. The reductions from wages
and the employers contributions will
be graduated according to the insured
persons earnings.

The truth is that Just the sort of his-
tory teaching which the Bee advocates
has been one of the most pernicious
educational influences in America.
Sound scholarship has long demanded
a change, in the interest both of truth
and OF patriotism. Whether the par
tcular speech which precipitated the
Bees latest seizure reflected this
sound scholarship or merely an indi-
vidual idiosyncracy we do not know.

would regard the Bees present cpl

particular speech which occasioned it
happened to be foolish or mistaken,
that is small matter. In free discus
sion, error soon eliminates itself, and
the truth remains. Bit if there is in
tolerance and censorship, such as the
Bee advocates, then truth itself is
strangled.

their crude condition, from China and
other lands, for the manufacture of
wigs, puffs, rats" switches and other
articles of personal adornment, will
not be disturbed by the treasury de-

Assistant Secretary Curtis today
decided that duty should not be as
sessed, although the appraiser at New
York contended that hair partially
prepared should be charged twenty
per cent. ad valorem duty.
Investigation of the subject devel-
oped that the imperial Chinese edict
ordering the clipping of the historic
queues of the subjects of the Celes-
tial empire has had no effect on the
available supply of human hair for
commercial purposes. The market
has not been swamped with Chinese
pig tails" for the sons of China are

in boxes of gold for preservation as
relics to posterity.
