R. P. SCHWERIN CALLED DOWNhttp://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SFC18980616.1.11&e=-------en--20--1--txt-txIN------#
Must Admit Reporters to the Mail Dock.
A BITTER PILL FOR HIM
HE HAS TO SWALLOW IT AND MAKE NO FACES.
The Call's Expose of the Peking's Pig Pen Besulted in First-Class Quarters for Soldiers in the China and Colon.
The person whom Collis P. Huntington saved from court-martial and dismissal from the navy, one R. P. Schwerin, has come down from his high horse. His descent was sudden, and every bone in his siuggy anatomy was jarred in consequence.
Reginald Picayune dreamed that he owned the water front, just as Collis P. once dreamed that he owned the Oakland water front. Reginald awoke only to find that the State Board of Harbor Commissioners has considerable to say in regard to matters pertaining to the harbor and wharves, and the awakening was a rude one. Like the indolent Turk, he dreamed that all and sundry trembled at his power, and, like the Oriental, awoke, to find his dream was only a dream.
When the first fleet of transports was being fitted out to go to Manila with troops, The Call pointed out that the berths and accommodations being put in the City of Peking were not as good as were furnished the Chinese coolies who travel year in and year out on the boat. At this Mr. Schwerin got very angry, and issued orders that no Call reporter should be allowed on the Mail Company's wharf. On different occasions various members of The Call's staff tried to get down to the transports, but were invariably refused admittance.
Things came to a head, however, when the steamer Belgic of the Occidental and Oriental Company's line arrived from Hongkong with news from Dewey's fleet. Representatives from every paper in town flocked down to the wharf and every one of them gained admittance save three representatives of The Call. One of the latter tried to force his way down, and was forcibly ejected "by Mr. Schwerin's orders."
The matter was laid before the Harbor Commissioners, and that body at once informed the autocrat of the Mail dock that he must admit The Call representatives to the wharf or else exclude every newspaper man in the city. Mr. Schwerin swallowed the bitter pill and now The Call men come and go at pleasure.
The publication of the manner in which the Peking was fitted out has done a great deal of good, and the boys in blue who sailed on the China and Colon yesterday have The Call to thank for having first-class quarters. When the work of fitting out these two vessels was first begun, Schwerin out of pure cussedness was going to put in the same kind of bunks that had been put in the Peking, The Call heard of this and informed the public and the army officers of the fact. The result was that such fixtures as had been put in the China and Colon were torn down and quarters equal to anything put in any of the troopships were fitted up.
The fight is now over and Reginald Picayune can go back to his dreams, but in future he will confine his efforts after absolute power to his own quarterdeck. Even there he has to be careful, because when a lieutenant on the quarterdeck of a sloop-of-war? but then that story has already been told.
