14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 24, 1895. ED REDDY MAY BE THE WARDEN. SENATOR ~SEYMOUR HAS ~ No CHANCE FOR THE SAN QUENTIN POSITION Now. CUNNINGHAM NOT ANXIOQUS. Doctors J. F. Morse anp H. H. HART MaAY GET ON THE BoARD oF HEALTH. If Senator Seymour ever had any chance for appointment as warden at the State Prison at San Quentin, he lost it when he left the Senate chamber and failed to yote for the bill to give the State Board of Ex- aminers a supervisory and directory power over the various boards which govern the State charitable and penal institutions. This wasa hill in which Governor Budd took the deepest interest, and for the passage of which he was most desirous. The reconsideration of the bill in the Senate and its subsequent defeat was a great disappointment to the Governor. Seymour’ ilure to vote on that occasion was a forfeit of any claim which he had on that office. Itis probable that he would not have secured the place in any event. Recently the name of Sheriff Cunning- ham has been mentioned for the place. The Board of Prison Commissioners at night’s meeting favored giving Cunningham the appointment, but itis doubtful whether he will take it. Senator Seymour came to this city Friday to secure a political influence to be exerted upon am not to take the place. There Republicans who are disposed to grumble at a Democratic Governor seeking 1o influence appoiftment of a warden, but Budd is the man on-the throne, and there seems to be no other individuality than his behind it. Cunningham has recently been re-elected Sheriff of San Joaquin County, and it is doubtful if he would care to .resign the office for that of warden. The office of warden at San Quentin is one of the best now at his disposal. It is worth $3000 a year to begin with, and a comfortable resi- dence with ample maintenance, and prison help is provided for the warden and b family. Then, too, its nearness to San ¥ i advantage, for the warden n a suburb of San Francisco. is” great likelihood that a Democrat will succeed Hale as Warden. The Governor is determined to_ remove Prison Comn ioners De Pue and Hayes, as he has Ivc Of course, there may be a contest over this matter, but the Gover- nor claims that De Pue has been riding on a railway pass, and urges that as cause for removal. If all other efforts fail the Gov- ernor can charge the members of the pres- ent board with extravagance, and that will be a difficult charge to answer, for if ners say that they have ex- pended $180,600, and that that sum was economical, the Governor.may retort that $150,000 is ample for expenditures. So it may be that a majority of the board will become Democratic. In that event Ed Reddy, brother of Patrick Reddy, may be the man. Reddy is an ex-captain of the guard at San Quentin. Of late he has made his home in Bodie, but he has been in this city since the inauguration of the Governor. It was given out at one time that he was an aspirant for Port Warden, but his claim was not pressed, and it was hinted that he wanted something better. The legal firm of Reddy, Campbell & Metson has the favor of the Governor. Despite reports to the contrary the mem- bers of this firm have not urged appoint- ments on the Governor or made many recommendations for places. If they ask the appointment of Ed Reddy as Warden now the claim will be a strong o6ne on the Governor. There is no likelihood of the Governor making many important appointments un: til after Thursday next. He is now busily engage mining the bills which the Legislature sent to him for his signature, and will devote his attention meantime al- most entirely to these bills, The Go i y’s bill appro- nilding for the glr;ili- ated colleges in this city. As he did so he turned to the Senator ani said: *“It will now be your duty to close up the saloons in San Francisco.” “‘How isthat?” asked Senator Biggy. “The law makes it a misdemeanor to sell liquor within a mile of the State Uni gity, and’ this is a part of the university, said the Governor in_a joking way. “An if you describe a circle from the bnilding for the afliliated colleges as a center and have a radius a mile in length it will cover & great many saloons.’ The Governor's remarks were made half in jest, but prohibitionists may feel dis- osed to test the new law which Senator Earl succeeded in having enactéd, which is broader in its scope than the old one which ied to Berkeley. liticians are discussing the effect of certain amendments to Assembly bill 479 should it receive the Governor’s signature. A bill embracing these provisions was introduced in the upper House by Senator , but failed of passage. Jacob Step- pacher succeeded in having them engraftefl on an Assembly bill which passed the Sen- ate on the last night of the session with d little thought on the part of those who offered the original bill. des that registration shall i_v"n and continue The bill pro begin 150 da; for seventy-five days. T will close registration seventy-five days before elec- tion, instead of thirty daysas now, and will make the stumnig of close districts more difficult, since the lodging for colonized yoters will have to be paid for seventy-five days instead of thirty. Transfers cease twenty-seven days prior to election under this bill. Another provision makes it incumbent upon landlords of hotelsand lodging-houses to kee{;a daily list of lodgers, beginning with the one hundred and fiftieth day be- fore election. Blanks will be sent out from the Registrar's office, and the landlords will have to fill them in. Failure tocomply is a misdemeanor. The bill is intended to apply to 8an Francisco only. Another feature of the measure makes it mandatory upon the would-be voter to state when he registers whether he is un- able to read or write, or whether any hysical disability ists which prevents im from stamping his ticket. ‘In other words, the test of illiteracy is on the day of registration instead of upon election day. There is much speculation over the prob- able appointments ou the State Board of Health. Itisbelieved that Dr. J. F. Morse of the German Hospital and Dr. Henry H. Hart of this city are two whose chances for a place on the Board of Health are good. t is conceded that Frank Gould of Btockton, ex-Speaker of the Assembly, late chairman of IEe Democratic State Central Committee and a partner in Budd’s Stock- ton law practice, will succeed George A. XKnight as attorney for the board. Gould wants the place. He is_ entitled, as chair- man of the State Central Committee and a warm supporter of Budd both before and after the nomination, to something. This osition would not_conflict with his other egal duties, and is, probably, the best place which the Governor can give him, Locally there is little in the political field. The term of office ot George W. Lees as License Collector will expire in April. The Mayor, the Auditor and the Treasurer will appoint his successor. As Sutroisa Populist, Broderick a Democrat and Wid- ber a Republican there may be a division as to choice when the time comel to ap- point. The members of the Iroquois Club still continue to discuss the charter, and the Occidental Club is perfecting its quasi- Tammany organization. % E. L. Colnon will probably remain as the before elect o private secretary to the Governor until after next Thursday, when he will retire. Ed_ McCabe will succeed him and Miss Todman will become executive secretary, filling the vacancy caused by McCabe’s promotion. THE LITTLE OASINO. Grand Jurymen and Police Officers Dressed as Countrymen. Mrs. Alevina Stein, proprietress of the Little Casino, on the corner of Stockton and Bush streets, appeared in Judge Low’s court yesterday morning to answer to the charges of selling liguor without a license and keeping a house of ill fame. The cases were continued till ‘Tuesday next. The three women—Agnes Baker, Annje Smith and Mary Smith—arrested for visiting the house, were cach fined §5, which they paid. This is the house adjoining the new Polytechnic School, which was raided on Friday night by Sergeant Gillen and Police- men Butterworth and McGrew in citizens’ clothes, as reported in yesterday’s CALL. The teachers of the school and parents of the pupils had complained repeatedly to the lkoz\rd of Education to have the place closed up, and finally an appeal was made to the Grand Jury, with the result stated. Three members of the Grand Jury, | dressed as countrymen, had gone to fhe house on Friday night to secure evidence | against Mrs. Stein unknown to the police, | THE PASSING OF THE GOLDEN KEY. THE MEMORIAL MUSEUM WAS DEDICATED IN GOOD FORM. THE STATE FLAG IS FLYING. THE ExXPOSITION CoLORS LOWERED WHEN PRESIDENT AUSTIN ACCEPTED THE TRUST. M. H. de Young touched a spring, the | purple velvet plush cases fell apart and the big golden key, fashioned to the lock of the Memorial Museum, caught the full blaze | of the sunlight as, concluding his last func- | tion as the head of the Midwinter Exposi- cessful conclusion, and to whom all honor was due for the perpetual memorial of its success to be dedicated this day. Mr. de Young, amid general applause, had risen to tell the story of how, not many months ago, the people had gath- ered not far from the spot where they were now to witness the turning of the first shovelful of earth for the building of the fair. Since that time the fair, with its 120 buildings, the glory of its 15,000 incandes- cent lights, its great tower, its manufac- tures, arts and Midway, had lived and died. TIts medals have been distributed, “and.” said the speaker, ‘‘nothing has been left undone that will cause the slight- est reflection on the peovle of the State of California. [Applause.] “The committee realized that there would be some net surplus, and they de- cided to utilize the Artbuilding and secure some of the attractive exhibits of the ex- position as permanent reminders of its glories. It was determined to create a nu- cleus of what some day would be a_great museum. The idea not original. Away back in 1851, when the London Ex- position was held, the surplus funds were used to create the great South Kensington Museum, to-day one of the largest and best museums “in the world. After the Centennial Exposition was held in 1876 a & | great memorial museum sprang into ex- istence, which now occupies a place in the [s:\rk at Philadelphia, and following the Chicago Exposition®there was established “I HAND YOU THIS KEY WITH ONLY THE REQUEST THAT THE MUSEUM BE KEPT OPEN TO THE PEOPLE EVERY DAY IN THE YEAR, INCLUDING SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS,” SAID MR. DE YOUNG. [Sketched by a “Call™ artist.] and it was not until the officers placed the | four women under arrest that each knew who the others were. | TNDER PDL@ECTIUN, SEVERAL VESSELS ON THE FRONT ARE, SUPPLIED WITH NON- % UNION CREWS. BoTH PARTIEs CLAIM TO BE SATIs- FIED WITH THE FIGHT So Far. An armed neutrality prevails along the water front, in which the union and non- | union forces are quietly watching for the next move. There is a diversity of opin- ion among the two interested parties as to where the best of the fight is situated, as | the Shipowners’ Association says its cause is practically won, and the Sailors’ Union holds that it has not begun to go ahead yet. However, several vessels went to sea y terday manned with the hated “nons.” and although the unions were on hand, ready for any interference, the presence of the police officers in strong force kept the strikers at a safe distance. and no trouble occurred. The secretary of the association ex- presses himself as pleased with this stage of the contest and says all the mien needed can be procured when the vessels are ready for them. He does not feel that a man to buck lumber on a fore and after of neces- sity must be an A. B., or holding a mate’s certificate from a school of navigation for the job of a roustabout on a coaster, and has no fears ifut that a ‘‘farmer,” as the strikers are pleased to call the men looking for anything in the way of work, will do very well at a pinch. The unionists think the available “scabs” will soon go hay-making out on the peaceful shore and the vessels will take the $35 men, and noowner will let his boat swing at anchor for as small a sum as $10 per man. The steam schooners Bessie K, Celia and the schooner Melanchthon were givena non-union crew by the police patrol yester- day and the vessels immediately went to sea. The officers escorted several men to | the barkentine C. F. Crocker at Harrison street. About 300 strikers were congre- gated around the vessel with a decided dis- position to create a disturbance, but they gave way to the determined advance of the policemen, and the new crew was silently assed aboard of the vessel, which sailed or Hilo, Hawaiian Islands. J. 8. Kimball’s steam schooners Noyo and Albion have been trying to_ship non- union men for several days without suc- cess. The vessels sailed yesterday, and both parties claim to have supplied their crews. The harbor police officers and the union pickets patrol the docks and watch H each other closely, and in case of trouble | re-enforcements can be dispatched to any lochlity on short notice. —————— Stephens Again Arrested. F. J. Stephens, the president and general maneger of the defunct Owl Stationery Com- | pany, was arrested yesterday afternoon on an- other warrant charging him with misdemeanor embezzlement. The complaining witness is egain H. B. Barbee, one of the directors of the company. The family and business troubles of the Barbees and Stephens, who says he is en- gazed to be married to the sister of the com- laining witness, were fully detasiled when tephens was arrested on previous warrants several days ago.

Professor Spadina raised his baton and | the Park band struck instantly into the | ‘“‘Star-spangled Banner,” while dancing down the ropes of the great staff over by the Museum building came the flag of the exposition and the flag of the Golden State went up in its place, and 10,000 people joined in a great cheer. It was the moment of climax at the ser- | vicks yesterday dedicating the Memorial | Museum. It was all just as it should nave How One Fin de Siecle Young Lady Appeared in the Crowd on Horse- back. [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] been—an ideal day, with plenty of sun- shine and biue sky, the warmth of sum- mer, the arrangements perfect, and a great crowd of good-natured people in holiday attire, who had come on horseback, in car- riages, by streetcar, on footand by the omnipresent bike. For hours the invited guests had been “‘doing” the museum and expressing their surprise and pleasure at the great variety of interesting things stowed there,and had now gathered in front of the grand stand to witness the formal dedication. In the center of the grand stand was the reservation for the actors in the scene, and there at a flag-covered table sat Jacob H. Neff as presiding officer, and Director- General de Young, and President Joseph Austin, and Colonel George A. Knight, and Colonel Andrews, Superintendent Me- Laren, and Postmaster McCoppin and Mr. Lilienthal, many being accompanied by wives and daughters. Mr. Neif had made a brief statement of | the occasion of it all and an introduction of Mr. de Young as the man who had been the mainspring and chief instrument through which the Midwinter Exposition had been born and had gone on to its suc- the great Columbian Museum in Jackson ark. 5 “With the funds that we had in hand we started in a modest way to do likewise. While the amount of money was small | we were met with such generous treat- ment that we have been able to secure double the -quantity of exhibits that under ordinary circumstances we would have been able to procure at the same ex- pense. We were able to secure the mag- nificent Dore vase, the greatest piece of bronze casting Kknown, very cheaply from the Parisian owners. The drinking fountain, called the cider-press, which you can see from where you stand, was sold by the artist who produced it at half the price he originally named, as he appreciated the fact that when perma- nently located in the park the fountain would be@a public benefit. And so it was with all the exhibits on these grounds. Whatever we desired for the museum we had simply to mention it, to be met with the most generous and liberal treatment. Only to-day Webb Howard of the water company, whom we owed a bill of $6000 for water, having taken a look through the museum ‘I don’t want a cent of your mo: Keep it and devote it to the uses of the um.’ In New York the same spirit 1own and the purchases made there were all subject to a generous deduction. We do not claim to-day to offer for your criticism a great full-tledged museum, as it takes years as well as enor- mous sums of money to accomplish this end. We merely present to you a nucleus, a beginnintg, of what we all sincerely hope and feel confident will one day become a great museum. “It affords me great pleasure to an- nounce that we have not exvended ail our mohey, that we still retain a balance, and that it is the purpose of the executive com- mittee to expend this in securing various collections from time to time to add to that which we offer for your inspection to- day. 1now come to the pleasant part of my duty. Gentlemen of the Park Commis- sion [and here Mr.de Young turned to Park President Austin, who rose in his place], the executive committee directs me to place to-day in your hands and. in your keeping the Art building and its annex, witg their contents, for the use of the people of this city and State. In placing these in your charge we express the hope that they will be always oper, Saturdays, Sundays, holidays and at all times, for the education and amusement of our citizens “Mr. Austin, in formally making this transfer, 1 present to you a{'ey made from the golden metal that once rested in the bosom of our State. I would express the sincere hope that whileit is a key which now unlocks buildings that cover scarcely two acres of ground, I trust that before it becomes your official duty to give up the same the buildings wi]Y cover over ten acres, and tnat instead of possessing from 5000 to 6000 exhibits, as it does to-day, there will be half a million.” President Austin accepted the key and the trust in a modest speech pledging the Park Comuissioners to keep ‘watcn and ward over it and to assist in every way to push it toward it« destiny as one of the great museums of the world. He then called upon Hon. George A. Knight to speak for the Commissioners. Colonel Knight took up the theme in that big-timbred voice which has added 80 much 1o his fame, *‘In these days,” he said, ‘it takes braye men to be public men —for to lead or to stand out from the mass in anything is to invite attack from some jealous souls along the lower levels. How many criticisms %mve we heard of this beautiful park and those who made it? You who come here and enjoy its wonders have little notion of the trials and the heart-burnings that havesgone with the building of this, one of the greatest parks that God’s light shines upon. How little we appreciate it all, Here we are gathered under the blue sky, without protection from the weather, while a few thousand | his best thoughts, ' miles across our own country people are shivering with the cold. When the idea was first broached of a great exposition out in the woolly West, where the people were supposed not to know the use. of fire and ate their food raw, it was thought we would make but a poor showing. But with dominating energy and pluck an_exposi- tion had been created in marvelously short time that would compare with the great expositions of the world.” r. Knight said that he had nothing to say for Mr. de Young. He could not prop- erly speak of the services he had rendered, but the future would give him his proper {alqce as one of California’s benefactors. Vith strong characteristics, a goaheada- tiveness that accomplshes whatever he undertakes, he seems to thrive upon difficulties and opposition. What he had done in this instance would be appreciated more and more as time passed. antl the fu- ture would do him justice. On behalf of the Park Commissioners he accepted what the fair had given them and the people, a hernufie they must highly prize. The band struck into ‘“Tone Pictures of the North and South,”” Mr. Neff told the people that the museum was now theirs to enjoy and the dedication was done. BATTERED BY GALES. Two British Ships Experience Rough ‘Weather in the Pacific. The British ship Sierra Marinda arrived from Hongkong at an early hour yesterday morning. This was the vessel that was to beat the American ship E. K. Wood across the Pacific. The Yankee arrived here about three weeks ago, discharged her cargo and is now loading lumber at Port Blakeley. The Sierra Marinda made the trip in 63 days, and had a very rough time of it. Gale after gale swept down upon the vessel,ang a number of sails were blown out of tNe boltropes. The forward boat was smashed and carried away from the davits, and everything movable on deck was washed overboard. The British ship Wasdale, which made a guick trip from Liverpool, arriving yester- ay in 115 days, also had a rough passage. The weather down to and around the Horn was fine, but_furious gales were en- countered in the Pacific, several big seas were shipped, and a number of the crew were injured. Augustus Thayes, a sea- man, was knocked down by a sea and had his leg broken, and was badly cut about the head. The unfortunate fellow was de- lirious for two days. IGNORES THE SPECIFICATIONS. A City Hall Contractor Whose Work Is Complained Of. John P. Dalton, an inspector appointed by the City Hall Commissioners at the instance of the Master Painters’ Union to supervise the paintitig of rooms in the southern end of the Larkin-street wing, has reported to the commission thatthe contractor is not doing his work properly. J. B. Gunyeau, who took the contract, bid $1395, though experts on painting de- clared_that the job could mot be done according to specifications for less than $1500. Dalton declares that, while the contract calls for the use of thirteen different colors in the decoration of the rooms, only two have been used, and that, moreover, the job is not being done in a workmanlike manner. The matter will come up before the Commissionersat the meeting on Tues- day morning next, and the contractor will be called upon to explain why he done the work according to spec = s ART ASSOCIATION. A Regular Ticket in the Field-~Opposi. tion Promised. The election for directors of the Art As- sociation will be held at the Hopkins Insti- tute Tuesday afternoon. The polls will be open from 1 to 6 ». M. There will probably be an opposition ticket in the field, but it has not yet materialized. Following are the regular candidates: James D. Phelan, Joseph B. Crockett, Henry J. Crocker, Willlam Keith, Horace G. Platt, Lonis Sloss Jr., A. Page Brown, Henry Heyman, Frederick W. Zeile, Edward Bosqui and Arthur Rodgers. = . . Hall Said to Be in Salt Lake. William Hall, ex-clerk of the Police Cémmis- sion, who left the city soon after the present Grand Jury convened, through the fear, it is sald, of its intention to look -into police methods, is reported to have been seen re- cently in Salt Lake City. He promised to come and tell what he knows to a Lexow committee, { if one be established CLOSE CALL OF A CRUISER. HOw THE SAN FRANCISCO ESCAPED FROM AN UNKNOWN PERIL. ARRIVAL OF THE MEN WHO AL- MOST SaANK HER IN CHI- LEAN WATERS. The steamer Belgic arrived from China and Japan yesferday afternoon. Among her passengers were Commander E. J. Garinand Lieutenants A. Vargasand A. F. Valderrama of the Chilean navy. Garin was in command of the Chilean cruiser Esmeralda, which was bought through the Ecuadorian Government by the Japanese. Captain Garin sailed the warship safely to Yokohama and delivered her to the Jap- anese Government, receiving a very hand- some bonus for his trouble. The crew of the cruiser arrived on the last two China steamers and complained bitterly of the treatment of their comman- der. They openly stated that he feared to accompany them, knowing that his life would be in peril. 5 " The Chileans refused to speak of their trip from Valparaiso to Yokohama further | than to say that their Government sold the vessel to Ecuador and that the Esme- ralda had tolbe delivered at any port where that Government desired. ‘The three officers are said to be from among the tlower of the Chilean navy. | Although they would say nothing regnré- ing themselves to a reporter, they seem to have talked fast enough on the voyage from the Orient. Lieutenant Vargas was second in command of a torpedo-boat dur- ing the Chilean revolution which nearly sunk the cruiser San Francisco. The little craft stole out tothe white cruiser under cover of darkness while the vessel was at anchor in Valparaiso. The insurgents supposed that the San Francisco was one of the enemy’s fleet. A torpedo tube was traified on her and the order given to fire. Luckily the command was misunderstood, and before it could be repeated the lookout .sang outina low tone of voice, ‘‘Upited States.” The next moment the torpedo craft was steaming away and the crew of the San Francisco never knew of their danger. ————— La Regaloncita Sisters. Gustay Walter of the Orpheum appeared for sentence in Judge Low’s court yesterday for permitting the La Regaloncita sisters to per- form in his theater. The Judge sentenced him to pay a fine of §50, with the alternative ot fifty days in the County Jail. The attorney for the defendant moved for a new trial and arrest of judgment, which the Judge denied. He then gave notice of appeal to the Superior Court on the fimund that the compfaint was defective and filed the necessary bond. ——————— Court Decision. The trial of the case in a San Jose court against C. H. Letcher for selling intoxicating drinks at his fruit store without a liquor license, in Justice Gass’ court, before a jury, re- suited in the acquittal of Letcher, as he proved that it was Jaffe’s Intrinsic Tonic.

TRANSFER OF THE WELL-KNOWN MORRIS RAVINE MINE IN BUTTE COUNTY. IT Hap LaiNy IDLE FOR A Long TEME FOR WANT OF THE NECESSARY CAPITAL. The annouucement was telegraphed from Oroville, Butte County, yesterday that the Morris Ravine mine had been sold to an English syndicate. Just what the terms of sale were isnot known, al- though those interested admit that the purchase price amounted to many thou- sands of dollars. The property involved is cne of the best in the State and it has been looked upon by prospectors and miners as rich and pro- ductive. There is quite an interesting history con- nected with the mine. It was located first in 1851 and from that year until 1860 it paid immense returns. It is located in the bed of the north fork of the American River, and the orignal owners made con- siderable money out of it. They were ex- Secretary of State William C. Hendricks, and Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana, who was Vice-President with Cleveland during the latter’s first term, was also con- nected with the mine. - There was some difficulty owing to a shortage of the water supply to control sliding’ ground, and also a particularly strong shortage as regards the capital in the investment. Under these circumstances work in the mine ceased, although it was well known that the mine was a rich one if properly developed. It was finally takenin hand by Major Frank McLaughlin. He know- ing the value of the property took pains to interest capital in it. He organized the present Engli_sh company to cperate the mine on a drift proposition, and the deal has now been closed. ¢ “I know the mine is worth more than has been paid for it,”’ said Major Mec- Laughlin, “and will return threefold what has been paid. Senator A. F. Jones is the attorney 1n this deal, and he hasall the papers connected with it.” me of the latest stockholders in the | mine was United States Senator George C. Perkins, He says, however, that he sold his interest and that he has nothing to do with the new deal. “The change in the ownershiy of the mine will mean much to Butte,” saia O. C. Perkins of Oroville yesterday. ‘“Men will be put to work and considerable money will be expended in the development of our county.” A. U. Rugg said that he knew about the transfer. on the north fork of the American River. He has quite a tract of land adjoining the | mine, but he only takes a neighborly in- terest in it. I own no stock,” he says, ‘‘but for the good of Butte County I want to see the mine in full.operation.” asasabe o Objects to the Kindergarten Iden. Maria Hudley of 1840 Baker street yesterday said concerning Professor Fritz Scheel’s musi- cal estimate of San Francisco: “In answer to an article in Friday’s (March 22) CALL headed ‘More Like & Kindergarten’ I would like to say that it seems to me San Francisco can take slap in the face better than any city I know of, and 1 have traveled over a great partof the world.
