RIOT CALL PROVES FARCE
I'oIU-e Race Through Harbor to
Sabdne Lone) Salt.
When a riot call was received yes
terday afternoon at the besdauartera of
the harbor police. Harbormaster Speler
and the crew of the launch Elldor broke
all records, harbor rulea and general
maritime regulations in raelnir to th3
French bark Csnnebierre. at Montgom
ery dock No. 2. only to find that one
lone sailor refused to "turn to" and
the skipper had demanded that hla
rase be passed on by the waterfront
officers.
' Hsrbormaster Ppeter. after pocketing
his chsgrln at being called on such a
frivolous queat, made an investigation
and was told by the mate that the
sailor was not Intoxicated had not at
tempted to create a mutiny among hla
fellows, had not broken any law or
made threats.
The sailor In defense said that ne
was willing to labor but that the skip
per was desirous of forcing him to
leave the vessel snd did not want him
to vaftrk In harmony wtth his mates. It
was only a few days ago that the crew
of the French ship Thiers was :n
trouble with Frenchmen from shore
and the officers were called after it
waa over and could lend no assistance.
