12 ’ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1895. HAVE AGREED ON A FORM OF POOLING. VALLEY RoAD TRUSTEES WiLL HAVE ALMOST AUTOCRATIC POWER, THE LEASE OF CHINA BASIN WILL PROBABLY BE SIGNED To-MORROW. STOCKTON STOUTLY URGES HER CLAIMS. A HEAR- ING ON SDAY AF The principal topic of discussion at the meeting of the valley road directors yester- day the form of pool by which it is proposed to secure and preserve the road asa competing line, and a copy of which ests of the stockholders, however, but it is | the opinion of one of the directors at least there is an ungunarded loophole in the document which might in certain cases prove embarrassing to say the least. “This document,” said the gentleman referred to. but who declined to permit his name to be made public, ‘‘states the duties of the directors plainly enough, but there is no provision made as to how long they shall hold office or the manner in which their removal could be brought about if such a thing was found advisable. The life of the trust is but ten years, and after the trustees are appointed we might find ourselves with another Mose Gunst case on our hands.” The general terms of the trust are known to some of the stockholders, and the lim- itation of the life of the same to ten years | is suggested as ill advised. Itisclaimed place the road upon a substantial footing, and that at the expiration of the document | nothing will prevent the Southern Pacific or any other antagonistic force from step- ping in and gobbling up the road. Stockton sent down a delegation yester- day in the persons of P. Al Buell, H.J. Cockran and D. H. Rosenthal, to give the board an outline of what progress that city had made in the work of raising subscrip- tions, ana also to make a statement of the right-of-way privileges which were at the ! disposal of the road if it should build to | that city. After the committee had concluded its | mission the board determined to send En- | that so short a time will ‘be likely to only | | city, ostensibly to consider the big Victor dam, | but it is thought that he is also here on busi- ness connected with the new road. In this connection it is a matter of rumor in railway circles that there are negotiations under way with the Santa Fe Company o form an agreement to work in harmony in case the proposed road should be extended to a connec- tion with the Atlantic and Pacific. Some color is lent to this rumor by the fact i that Colonel Bridges has had several confer- | ences with James Camphell, a veteran railway- | builder, who has conducted the work of most of the Santa Fe’s extensions in Southern Cali- fornia, and has often acted in a confidential [ capacity for that corporation. While no official | confirmation can be had of the report there are 2 number of indications that there is some Dasis for the story. President Spreckels said yesterday that i Mr. Bridges was in no way connected with the new road, nor was he authorized to undertake any negotiations in its interest. Tne dispatch, he declared, had no founda- tion whatever. So many inquiries are constantly being made as to the personnel of the board of directors of the valley road that short bi- ographies of the gentlemen comprising that body are herewith appended: Claus Spreckels, president of the new rail- road eompany, has been a resident of Cali- | fornia since 1856 and was eminent_in mercan- tile life long before he assumed his present prominence us chief promoter and_subscriber 1 this noteble undertaking. His success and world-wide fame as a_sugar refiner, the result ofthe great perseverance, push and judgment with which he is endowed, bespeak for the new enterprise a rapid completion which will bring the relief to our Stete so much longed for. Mr. Spreckels says of himself: “I have never made & failure.” W. F. Whittier, long the head of the great firm of Whittier, Fuller & Co., in which he accumulated a substantial fortuxe, is the active vice-president_and able coadjutor of Mr. Spreckels and his fellow directors in the organ- ization of the mew road, contributing gener- ously of his means to aid it, in the faith that JSAAC U TEE DIRECTORS OF THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY RAILROAD. was submitted to the board by Attorney Preston, who had charge of the important duty of drawing up the document. The result of their deliberations was the adoption of a resolution indorsing the plan and the next_action will be to submit the form to a meeting of the stockholders, which will be called s0on for this purpose, and also for the additional purpose of naming the persons who shall act as trustees. The directors refused to allow the form of the trust agreement to be published yes- terday, but from the best information ob- | gineer Srore{ up to Stockton one day next | week to look over the fround, and a few | days after the board will also take a trip to that point and investigate the facilities offered them. | San Jose will be given a hearing on { Tuesday afternoon mext. C. M. Morton | of that city appeared before the board yes- terday and requested that a date be set at which a delegation from his.city would ob- tain an audience, and the day mentioned was sni apart for that purpose. Mr. Morton says they now have about $150,000 promised in San Jose, Palo Alto, his own large investments and others through™ out the State will be indirectly enhanced greatly in value thereby. John D. Spreckels is the oldest son and able assistant of his father, and manager of great enterprises in sugar, steamships, etc. He is likely to be called upon to_take an important partin the management of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway. His tried | ability, experience and judgment will not be lost in the new field of enterprise.

S. Gov’t Report Rl Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE integrity which will prove an influential acces- sion to the board of directors. John B. Stetson was another member of the last-named firm for many years, with charge of its manufacturing department. Retired of late from active connection with that firm to_look | aiter his other large pecuniary interests, he is at present devodnf himself to the management of the North Pacific Coast Railroad, of which he is president and leading owner. Thomas Magee of Thomas Magee & Sons is a capitalist and dealer in real estate, now looked upon as a most reliable and leading authority on real estate values in San Francisco. He is identified with and is a large investor in real estate, bmkinf and other interests, and has been a liberal friend in the past to all enter- Erl&e‘! calculated toaid in the upbuilding of California. Isaac Uguhnn is a thember of the firm of Payot, Upham & Co., wholesale books and sta- tionery. He has been prominent as the presi- dent of the Traffic Association, whose aggressive action and perseverance have been potent fac- tors in making the new valley railroad a fact, rather than & dream. His presence in the new board is fitting and fortunate. Leon Sloss represents the influence of the firm of Louis Sloss & Co., capitalists in the Alaskan trade and other enterprises, and iden- tified with all pr ssive movements. Robert Watt, after a successful career as a miner in our Btate,is a resident capitalist, a man of worth a rested in the rm Of Lungles' & Miehucls Co manulacturing druggists of San Francisco. Captain A. H. Payson was for some time con- nected with the engineering department of the United States army, and brings to the coun- cils of the new road ripe experience and skill in that line. He is also connected with the Parrott family and estate, very large owners of realty in the State, and therefore willing con- tributors to the proposed means of increasing our productions and values. Asa whole, no more representative body of men could have been selected to the first board of directors, which in its personnel has al- ready achieved historic prominence. Each is an energetic, active, tried man of affairs, still full of the landable embitions which are linked with the progress and prosperity of the State, and Tull of the fartn that the new enterprise will change dry rot into fruitful life. Engineer Holmes of the State Harbor Commission has completed his survey of China Basin, which will be used by ‘the San Francisco and San Joaquin Railroad as a terminal, has prepared a large map of the land with suggested improvements and will go to Sacramento to-night to sub- mit his findings to Governor Budd, Mayor Sutro and the Harbor Commissioners, who meet in the capital city to-morrow. It was the intention to have the board meet in San Francisco, but Governor Budd can- not spare the time to come to the city, therefore the change of the place of meet- ing. | . E.L. Colnon, D. P. Cole, F. C. Chad- bourne and Attorney F. Stratton, of the | Harbor Commission, who, with Governor | Budd and Mayor Sutro, comprise the State board having authority to lease the termi- nal to the valley road, will leave for Sacra- mento to night or on the early train Sat- urday morning. John D. Spreckels and Attorney E. J. Preston will represent the railroad at the coming meeting. These gentlemen were in consultation with Attorney Stratton of the Harbor Com- mission yesterday relative to the pro- visions of the lease, The map ordered prepared by Governor Budd was finished by Engineer Holmes and Carl Ulrig last night. It shows the basin subdivided by parallel lines, representing an acre of land to each. This is done for the convenience of the board, which can thus readily arrive at a conclusion as to the aecrage in any one particular_tract or locality. ‘The boundaries of the basin are as follows: Commencing at the intersection of the south line of Channel street with the east line of Kentucky street (Kentucky street being eighty feet'in width); thence east at right angles with the said line of Kentucky street to the inner line of the seawall and thoroughfare established by act of Legisla- ture March 15, 1878; thence southerly along said inner line of the thoroughfare to the northerly line of Fourth street (Fourth street being eighty feet in width); thence northwesterly along said northerly line of Fourth street to the westerly line of Ken- tucky street; thence north along said line of Kentucky street to the point of begin- ning; containing about twenty-four and & quarter acres more or less. PHELPS GOESTOGUATENMALA HE LEAVES THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC FOR A MUCH BETTER POSITION. No SuccessorR YET NAMED as TRAINMASTER OF THE COAST Drvision. G. W. Phelps, trainmaster on the coast division of the Southern Pa dered his resignation to the officials of that road and will sail on the steamer San Blas on the 28th inst. for Central America, where he goes to accept the position of general superintendent of the Ferrocarril Occidental, a railroad in Guatemala, owned by the Barrios and Aparico families, and which is already a line of great im- portance. Mr. Phelps has been an employe of the Southern Pacific for twelve or thirteea years past and is held in the highest es- teem by the company’s officials. His posi- tion as trainmaster brought him into prominence during the great strike of last year, when the company’s property at Fourth and Townsend streets was the point of attraction for hundreds of people daily and where it was expected the strik- ers would make a formidable demonstra- tion at almost any time for several weeks. For some days Mr. Phelps and one.as- sistant did the entire work of getting out trains, and he performed the duties of his position in such a manner as to retain the respect of the men who were at the time fighting the company. ‘The owners of the Guatemalan road have been looking around for a suitable man to take charge of their property for some time past, and there were many applicants for the position. It was necessary that the successful man should be a thorough Span- ish scholar, and in this particular Mr. Phelps filled the bill. The Occidental road is at present only sixty miles in length, but its importance can be estimated from the fact that it is said to pay 60 per cent upon the capital in- vested every year. The road extends from Port Champerico to San Felipe, but an extension is proposed to Quezaltenango, the capital of &orthern Guatemala, forty-four miles further into the interior. B There is now under construction a branch line from the Guatemala Central, running through the great coffee districts and inter- secting the first-named road at Retalhulen. The latter line is intended to be a portion of the main route of the great system, with which it is proposed to connect all the Central and South American States. A NEW FACTORY. French Capital Will Start It in Some City of California. The fruit industry of California and the possibilities it offers for successful invest- ment have attracted the attention of at least omne foreign firm of importance, and it proposes to establish a factory in the State for the purpose of preparing chrys- tallized fruits, The following letter relating to the mat- ter was recently received by the directors of the Southern Pacific Company: BRION PAR BEssk, PUY DE DoME, France, March 3, 1895. Hon. Dircctor of Southern Pacific Railroad: Intending shortly to start a factory in Califor- nia for the preparation of chrystallized fruits, Ishould be much obliged if you would inform me as to the cost of transporiation of that article from San Francisco and Los Angeles to the larger cities of the United States, particu- larly New Orleans, £t.

Respectiull E. LIGNERAT. This letter was referred to Third Vice- President Stubbs, who said_yesterday that he thought he should induce the party making the inquiries to either establish his factory in this city or in Sacramento, these two places affording, in Mr. 8 estimation, the best required fac ST T T Somebody Blundered. W. E. Donlan was arrested on Tuesday ona charge of petty larceny. That afternoon a Superior Court warrant was served upon him in the City Prison, charging him with insanity, the complaining witness being his brother. He was taken irom the prison to the Receiving Hospital to await his examination before the Insanity Commissioners. Yesterday mornini bg some unexplainable means he was di. charged from the hospital, and the police are now trying to find him. —————— Burke thought most of his “Vindication of Natural Society.” His speeches be re- garded as means, not as ends in them- selves. e Bailey, the author of “Festus,” said that his book was his life and contained the whole experience of the human race. A MERRY MARINE WAR IS RAGING. AN EARLY MORNING GAME ON THE Docks IN WHICH CLUBS WERE TRUMPS. SHIPS THAT SAIL CREWLESS. THE ASSOCIATION Is DETERMINED T0 EMPLOY NON-UNION SAILOKS. Clubs were trumps on the water front yesterday in an early morning game played between the Ship-owners’ Association and | the Coast Seamen’s Union. They were from a cold deck and were in the hands of Captain Dunleavy of the Harbor Police, and the captain is accused by the union of running into the game uninvited.

Settlement of the Sterrett Suit Against George S. Montgomery. The controversy and legal proceedings of the Sterrett Brothers against George S. Montgomery over the ownership of a valu- able gold mining property in Placer County, California, was amicably settled by the interested parties yesterday. It was the original agreement that Montgomery should pay the Sterretts $50,000 for their roperty, but it is claimed that he never Eved up to the terms of the agreement and suit was brought to rescind the contract. Attorney E. S. Campbell, who repre- sented Mr. Montgomery, the defendant, said that the terms of the settlement were that they should pay the complainants $25,000 cash and a like sum to be paid out of the earnings of the mine, making $50,000 in all. The $25,000 cash was paid over yes- terday and the three Sterretts, Thomas C., John'W. and Samuel T., all well along in years, are comparatively happy. “This has been a long and unpleasant controversy,” explained Mr. Campbell, *‘and we are glad that it has been settled to | the satisfaction of allconcerned. The par- | ties came together to-day and after the set- tlement expressed good will, sympathy and esteem all around and disclosed tnat the unpleasantness that had existed had been the result of misunderstanding. “The Sterrett brothers gave a new deed, b SUTRO ASKS FOR AN BXTENSION MORE TIME NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE BUILDING OF HIs RAILROAD, IN DEFENSE OF THE TRACK. —_— TroMas H.

[Sketched for the “Call” by W. A. Coulter.] the bark Wilna, lying at Mission-street wharf, took a $25 crew. At 3 o’clock in the morning a wagon-load of colored men newly engaged for the vessel appeared on the wharf, under convoy of Boarding-mas- ter John Kane. The outfit was cordially re- ceived by several hundred union men, who proceeded to make things very pleasant for the dark recruits. Cohn, the driver of the wagon, and Kane were run off the dock and the fine work of instilling union prin- ciples into these would-be mariners went merrilv on. Kane. who isanold veteran in such friendly contests, fought valiantly and Cohn reports that he swung likea Corbett himself, and kept it up as long as there was a striker in sight. The two men were being kicked ang beaten in a brutal manner wfien the police squad, which had been patrolling the wharves since midnight, came down upon the rioters with their strong black clubs. Each officer had orders to hit hard, and hardly a union head came out of the affray uncracked. Their surprise was complete and they soon disappeared from the wharf. Only five of the non-union men could be found, the rest having made off at the opening of hostilities. Fl‘he re- maining men were hurriedly put on board the Wilna, and the bark put to sea with her five men. They are green hands which Kane rounded up from among the grog- geries of the Barbary Coast, and their work aboard the vessel in the southeast storm now blowing will probably be notable in the way of seamansl‘;'sx The only prize "which the police squad drew from the affair was Albert Weston, one of the leaders of the strikers who was conspicuous in the disturbance. He was locked up in the police station and charged with inciting a riot. Hardly had the Wilna pulled out in the stream when word came_ that the union men were making things lively around the schooner La Gironde at Main-street wharf. The vessel was trying to get away with two non-union men among her crew, and about 100 strikers were holding ber lines tight to the wharf. The clubs which had made such havoc among the disturbers at the Mission-street dock were used on the crowd, and more sore heads were added to the ac- count. The place was soon cleared and the vessel permitted to sail. As she left the wharf one of the men jumped ashore, say- ng the union would have to look out for im. The schooner Ivy, which had been men- aced by the strikers, was protected by the club-wielding policemen, and she’ left Main street with two new men procured from the Sailors’ Home. Allof the vessels went to sea with inexperienced men and wofully short-handed, but the captains preferred to try issues with Neptune and the southeaster rather than remain within hailing distance of Secretary Furuseth and his erew. : Captain Dunlevy had re-enforced the har- bor police force on the water front, and is determined that-thé violence of two years ago will not be repeated. It is the feeling among ship charterers and owners along the water front that the action of the union in declaring a strike and inciting riots is ill-adyised at this juncture. e influx of foreign ships and the building of steam~progellmg vessels on this coast have run freights down to the lowest figure. “Floating Drc:rerty," said a prominent shipper yesterday, ‘“is not | worth 25 cents on the dollar. here hun- dreds of schooners and other sailing coast- ers employing a large number of men came inand out of port now comparatively few big steamers, making quick trips and Tequiring men to run_the machinery only, are doing the work. Vessels must lay up or run under reduced expenses and a wage- rate of $35 is a big item to a vessel eating its head oft.” . George H. Walthew, secretary of the Shipowners’ Association, says that waces ntust fall with freights and that the efforts’ of the union cannot lift the pay on the coast to $35. ‘“Notwithstanding the de- mand for firemen in the northern fish- eries and canneries the association yessels will be supplied with crews at $25. With a bay full of idle vesselsand a city full of idle men the demand and supply will ad- just themselves accordingly. Bludgeons, revolvers and dynamite for the beating and killing of so-called ‘scabs’ will not set- tle this trouble.”” ‘The Seamen’s Union is determined that no crews shall be shipped at less than $35 or §40, and is prepared for a long fight from San Diego to the sound, and so the merry marine war is on. .

It is the intention of Mr. Montgomery to | push the work of developing the mine, which is regarded as an exceptionally rich property. AFTER YEARS OF SERVICE. GOLD MEDALS PRESENTED TO MEMBERS OF THE SAN FRAN- CISCO SCHUETZEN VEREIN. THEY HAD SERVED FOR TWENTY- FIVE YEARS CONTINUOUSLY IN THE CLUB. The San Francisco Schuetzen Verein held its yearly social last Wednesday night in honor of the officers elected to serve during the present term. A most enjoyable evening was spent, and the members and their wives and sweethearts went home well satisfied with the entertainment. The club is composed of some of the oldest res- idents of San Francisco. It wasthe only independent company that appeared under arms ready to preservelaw and order in the dark days of 1865 when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. John Wulzen was the captain of the verein in those days, and he remained in command for twenty-five years. He is still an honored member of the club. Among those who have been members of the club for twenty-nine years and over are: C. Hil- derbrandt, 29 years; John Hortsman, 30 years; Antone Lemaire, 32 years; J. L. Meyer, 36 years; H. F. Maass, 35 years; John Mengel, 31 years; J. H. Seyden, 34 years; J. H. Schulte, 33 years; A. Schu- macher, 35 years, and a number of others. The San Francisco Schuetzen Verein is one of the wealthiest and most influential clubs in California. It has 164 members on the roll and bas a credit balance at the bank of $20,000. Funeral expenses are paid by the order but no benefits. henever a member has been in good standing for twenty-five years the club holds a social and presents him with a gold medal. Last Wednesday two members had served their probationary term and both received medals. They were E. F. Baruth, one of the proprietors of the Amer- ican Brewery, and N. Becker, a capitalist. The latter is a 4%r and is now 71 years of age. In spite of his years he is still one of the best shots in the company. hen a_member has served his twenty- five years he is free from all drills and other duties and is in reality relegated to the position of an honorary member. TFive other members will celebrate their twenty- five years of service nextJuly, and on that occasion the club intends holding a jubilee. —————— FOUND AT THE RACETRACK. Twe Young Girls Who Had Left Theh‘l Homes Arrested. Katie Dolan and Eugenie Cummings, one 15 and the other 14 years of age, were arrested at the entrance to the racetrack on Wednesday afternoon by Officers Frank Holbrook and McMurray of the Society for the Suppression of Vice. The girls belong to respectable families. Katie’s parents live at Octavia street and Eu%eme‘s mother at 1042 Howard street. They ran away from home some weeks ago and have been haunting the racetrack. They were booked for some public institution. Holbrook learned from them that they had been frequenting the Tropic saloon, 234 O’Farrell street, and on Wednesday night he took the Dolan girl to the saloon. They entered a rear room and were served with liquor. Yesterday morning Hol- brook sworé out a warrant for the arrest of the proprietor of the saloon for selling liquor to a minor. —_—————— Froude believed that his “History of England” would better stand the test of criticism than any other of his works. | the next meeting. arisen and_the road, under existing condi tions, could not be finished 1n less than three or four months from the expiration of the specitied time. A year was asked for to be sure to have plenty of time and not be compelled to come in again for further concessions. He called attention to the fact that the Sutro Railroad Company had paid $6010 for the franchise and was the first to pay for the privilege of laying tracks on the strects. The committee put the matter ovgr for one week, in spite of Mr. Sutro’s protest that it was only fair to grant him an ex- tension of time. Colonel Kimball appeared before the committee, representing General Forsyth, commandant of the Division of Califor- nia, to state the condition of sewers which discharge their contents into the reserva- tion. He contended that the sewage jeopardizes the lives of 1000 people quar- tered at the Presidio. The Superintendent of Streets and Street Committee will investigate the matter at The cost of diverting the sewage into the bay was estimalefi at from $12,000 to $15,000. The question of cutting streets through the Bay District track came up again, and Thomas H. Williams Jr. appeared to pro- test against any such measure. Fulda ‘also protested against the proposition, saying that much money w. soon to be spent in improving the track and surroundings and that the residents of Richmond District would soon spend $100,000 in beautifying the locality. The Bay District course, in his opinion, was a benefit rather than a detriment to that portion of the city. The matter was put over for two weeks. Thomas McDermott, engineer of the Fourth-street bridge, was before the com- mittee to defend himself against charges made by Tibbetts, Healy & Co. who, in a recent communication to the board, stated that he was incompetent and careless and that great danger exists from his handling the structure. He denied the charges flatly and stated that the bridge is in bet- ter condition than it ever was, and that the statements were totally unfofinded and inspired by spite. The committee agreed to investigate the matter.
