THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 189 13 OAKLAND' ARNY MEN IN PRISON. BLANKETS, CAPS AND ' OTHER ARTICLES PURLOINED BY A MEMBER, CAPSIZED IN THE ESTUARY. NaRrROW ESCaPE oF Two YOUNG MeN—A VERDICT FOR DR. DubpLEY TaAIT. Fred Harrison, a member of General Kelly’s Industrial Army, was landed in jail yesterday to keep company with a score or more of Kelly's followers who have been incarcerated on various charges during the past few weeks. ‘When the public began to lose interest in the woes of the army and withdrew its moral and financial support the larder of the Franklin-street Industrial Army co- operative boarding-house soon showed signs of exhaustion and it became evident that more provisions would have to be provided or the inmates would have to go to work. the deficiency a large number rs began begging for provisions from houses and merchants. The police were instructed to puta stop to their opera- tions and twenty or more wer2 arrested as vagrants or for begging and placed on are, n was too lazy even to beg, but having an extraordinary appetite for whisky, a luxury not supplied at the board- ing-house, he began to purloin articles left lying around loose, and sell them at the second-nand stores. A roll of blankets supplied his wants for a_short time, but the thirst returned, and a dozen parade caps and some cooking utensils followed the bed clothing. General Kelly fearing that his favorite military coat might join the other goods overcame his repugnance to having the character of his followers held.up to the public gaze, and had Harrison arrested on a charge of petty larceny. Officer Keefe, who made the arrest, is guthority for the statement that Harrison is an ex-convict, and that within a few months past he has been arrested several times for various misdemeanors, and has i’us: completed a term of thirty-eight days or battery and disturbing the peace. There are only five or six of the army still at large and the police expect to have them in custody ere Jong. ‘Want a Compeéient Warden. The State Sportmen’s Association is tak- i an active interest ‘in. the appointment ne wardens for the various counties of the State, as provided for by the Legis- lature, and - will endeavor to have men se- lected with more relation to their qualifica- cati for the positicns.than on- account of political influence. he association particularly desires the warden for Alameda -County to be a man fitted for the place, as it has been apparent for some_ vime P“t that unless the game birds and fish of the county are more thor- oughly protected from men who hunt and fish out of season, it is only a question of a short time before they will ge exterminated. The Board of Supervisors has received, he following communication from the as- iation, signed by Secretary S. E. Knowles relative to the matter: To the Hoporable Board of Supervisors: The lature, just adjourned, recognizing the Jortance to the State of its fish and game in- terestghas vested yon with authority to ap- poinglfifish and gaine warden in your county at ‘first meeting in Aprit, 1895: o) most earnest atténtion is respectfully called 1o the necessity of making this appoint- ment without delay. The.close season is et hand and the rapid depletion of our State of its game and fish renders your prompt action herein of the utmost importance, The necessity of your appointee being a man of intelligence, honesty and determination in the performance of his peculiar duties istoo clearly evident to require comment. The office is worth $125 & month ‘and Henry May of Decoto and B.F. Stalley, C. W. Arnett and Frank Dennis of O:AE:- land have already applied for it. Dancing on Memorial Day. The Grand Army Veterans of Oakland believe that Memorial day should he a day of mourning by the nation for those who died in the service of the country and that picnics and dancing have no place on such an occasion and Lyon Post No. 8 of . Oak- land has passed the following resolutions relative to the subject: WHEREAS, The 30th day of May of each year has been set apart by authority as a Memorial day for the soldiers of the republic, who sigep in death, & day of mourning for our dead, & day for the expressiom of & sorrow that the members of the Grand Army of the Republic and their comrades cherish ‘and cling to as a dear but painful memory. With this feeling the Grand Army of the Republic desire that the dey be réverently devoted to the mourning of “our noble dead., That their deeds of self-sacrificing patriotism be recounted to the youth. That by speech and song, patriotic love and devotion to our country may be instilled into their minds. We feel that the minds of the people; and especially the young, should not be diverted from these objects by mirth and play, by pic- nics and dancing. Therefore, be it Resolved, That it is the sense of Lyon Post, G. A. R., 'that the citizens and church and ofher organizations use their influence to pre- vent this Memorial day from being turned into a day of feasting, picnics and dancing, but hold the day sacred to the memory of departed comrades, who ‘gave their ‘lives in defense of this our glorious country. JacoB WINKLER, Post Commander. GEORGE A. NORTON, Adjutant. Lyon Post’s action has been indorsed by Appomattox Post No. 50.° - Inquest on William Bynon. The Coroner’s jurfi, which sat in the case of William Bynon, killed'at 8an Pablo by R. F. Simpson on Monday last, rendered a verdict yesterday that the deceased-came to his death from a pistol-wound inflicted by Simpson, but failed to charge Simpson with murder. B Mrs. Margaret Bynon was the main wit- ness. She festified that after an alterca- tion regardinfi the use of a portion of the house for cooking oses ‘Simpson went to his cabin near the house :und returned with a revolver, walking up to the deceased and shooting him without warning. After the shot was fired her husband attacked Simpson with a stick of wood, She aided him b{l strikjng at the contractor with a wrench. Mrs: Bynon' fainted away after giving her testimony and had to be carried 10 a neighboring hotel. William Damm, a laborer employed by Simpson, testified that Bynon and his wife had attacked and beaten Simpson before the latter drew his pistol and fired the fatal shot. Blood was streaming down his face and Le seemed to be baaly injured. Simpson appeared at the inquest with his head tied up in bandages and seemed to be suffering from his wounds. Must Indict Lambert. EEEN The city officials have ascertained, after consulting legal authorities and an inter- view with Chfiel of Potice Crowley of San Francisco, that Walter Lambert, the de- faulting Police Court clerk, cannot be brought back from Honolulu without an indictment being filed against him by the County Grand Jury. As that body does not convene until Tuesday next, and the steamer for the islands sails ou the follow- ing Thursday, it is doubtful whether the necessary papers can be sent until the second steamer sails for the islands. An officer will be sent !fithe Araw: however, to keep track of Lambert uni the necessary formalities are carried out. Muking Officials Pay. Tax Collector Barber was astonished at the number of city and county officials who rushed into his office yestérday and betrayed an anxiety to Py their -pol taxes, until he learned of the actions of one of his deputies. This subordinate, John Foster, receives a commission for each polltax he coltects, and, being a ‘“husky’”” young man with an eye to the main chance, he has been making life miserable for those who deem themselves exem&t from paying the tax through hold- ing official positions. Secretary Kanfman of the Board of Public Works had no ob- jection to paying his tax, but disliked Fos- ter's method of demanding it and so in- Tormed' the deputy. g The latter immediately went to Auditor Snow and placed a garnishment on Kauf- man’s salary warrant. He incidentally let drop a remark to the effect that unless the poll taxes of other officials were forthcom- ing on demand he would file garnishments against their warrauts. Hence the rush to pay the State demand. : Foster’s action cost him something, how- ever, for no commissions are paid on taxes which go directly into the Collector'soffice. Narrowly Escaped Drowning. John Dorter and Joseph Monk, two young men living on Center street in this | city. had a narrow escape from death by | drowning in the waters of the estuary Thursday atternoon. They were rowing | ast the foot of Peralta street in a small at-bottomed skiff, when a sudden gust of wind caught the boat and capsized it. Cantain Johnson of the whaling brig La Ninfa, which is lying in_the estuary, wit- | nessed the accident and put off in a skiff | with C. M. Betts to rescue the men, who | appeared to be hayving a hard time to keep afloat. He found it impossible to make | headway against the strong wind and tide, and had to give up the struggle and return to his vessefi | Fortunately the plight of the men was seen_by men employed on a dredger be- longing to the San Francisco Dredging Company and they soon got out a boat and picked up the unfortunates. After | being dried out in the engine-room they were put ashore to return to their homes. Dr. Tait Gets a Verdict. A jury in the Superior Court has given Dr. Dudley Tait of San Francisco a verdict for §6200 against the estate of Morrds Gold- berg, the Highland Park italist who was kept alive thirty-five days by the young physician by the operation of gas- trostomy. ~He sued for $9200. Warning the Council. Auditor Snow was before the meeting of the Street Committee of the City Council on Tnursday evening to urge that the utmost care be taken not to incur needless ex- pense. He stated that every dime in the treasury would be needed to prevent a de- ficit. A Lady Will Preach. Rey. Eliza Tupper Wilkes will preach at the Unitarian church to-morrow morning. BERKELEY: Town politics are becoming interesting as the time for the nomination of the city officers draws near. At least twenty men have announced themselves as candidates for Town Trustees, of whom there are seven. Three men are in the field for Town Clerk, and a score or more are aim- ing at positions on the School Board. Tt has been presaged that there will be a hot fight before the School Board is elected, for the people are determined to improve the public school system, and de- sire to have only the most prominent and reliable citizens to perform the duties that fall to those officers. The Non-Partisans have a strong foothold, and in combination with the Independent Taxpayers will probably give the two old parties a hard rub when election day comes. U. C. Athletic Events. The freshman-sopohmore annual field- NEEDSOF THE HARBOR FRONT. PRESIDENT COLNON OF THE HAR- BOR COMMISSION SEES MUCH WORK AHEAD. ON THE CHINA BASIN LEASE. DEPLORES THE FAILURE OF THE BILL FOR EXCHANGE OF CER- TAIN LANDS, Aol S Edward A. Colnon, the newly appointed Harbor Commissioner and president of the board, has been in office less than two days, but even in that brief period of time he has learned that he has not dropped into a sinecure. Mr. Colnon was in the office of the Com- missioners most of the day yesterday en- gaged in looking over documentary evi- dence concerning the needs of the harbor and its front and drawing conclusions therefrom. He said: “From the report of Chief Engineer Holmes, which was submitted to this | board yesterday, 1 find that the harbor | front, its wharves and its docks, are in a most dilapidated condition. There are at least a hundred items of needed repairs T with the present street lines and | the proposed street lines, are shown in It will be ‘the smom{nnying map. | noticed that a portion -of the State’s land adjoins another part of the Frank estate, which has a frontage on Commercial street. The ground lying between Commercial and Clay, which is now a vacant offset on East street, would be so divided by the yroposed new street lines as to give it our frontages, namely, on the pro- posed new street, on Commercial, on Clay and on East streets. The triangle sout! of Commercial street would have frontage on Commercial and the proposed new street, as well as being directly open to East street. At present these parcels of State land are of no value to the State, and Mr. Colnon deeply deg}ores the failure of the proposed bill. which, had it passed, would have insured to San Francisco the much needed passenger bridge, as well as ;nany other improvements along the water ront. ROBERT RAWLINS MISSING. His Brother Desires to Provide for Him in His Will, Superintendent John Daggett of the Mint has been asked by Postmaster Me- | Coppin for information concerning the whereabouts of Robert Rawlins, for whom there is a registered letter in the Postoflice | from J. J. Jones, an attorney of Galena, T11. Mr. Jones is counsel for Henry Rawlins, | a wealthy business man of Galena, who is near death’'s door and desires that his | brother shall return before his death, so that he may make provision in his will for him if he is still alive. Robert Rawlins was foreman of the an- nealing-room in the Mint from August 14, 1870, to February 7, 1888, and then went to Astoria, where he remained till about two years ago, since which time his where- abouts has been unknown. It is thought that he returned to this city for a short time at least. N \ AN\ AN \\\}\\“\\>‘§§\\\ AN \ \ AW AR N N SIONERS AND THE MAP SHOWING THE LAND WANTED BY THE HARBOR COMMIS- PROPOSED STREET. [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] suggested in that report, and many of | them are such as will not admit of delay. day games will be played this afternoon at 2o'clock on the university cinder track. All the events will be from scratch. The entries from each class are evenly divided, | tended to at once. The State will be held | and is difficult to say which side will win the honors of the day. It is expected that several U. C. records will be broken,and, possibly, a few coast rec- ords smashed. In the track events there have been four entries in the 100-yard dash, four in the 220-yard dash, five in the 880, three in the | 120-yard hurdles, five in the 220 hurdles, five'in the 440-yard dash ana fourjn the mile run. There will be a 75-yard hurdle race, open | toall U.C. men. This will be the only | open event of the day. In the field events four entries have been | made in the broad jump, four in the pole vault, six in the high jump, six in the shot put and six in the hammer throw. Itis expected that Edgren, the holder of the U. C. record for the hammer throw—123 feet 7 inches, will surpass his previous efforts. His_ record is within three inches of the world’s record, held by Hickok of Yale. While the field day is in I)ro;mss, across the fence, on the baseball diamond, will be a game between the 'Varsity nine and the Olympics. The preliminary contest of the U. C. men for places in the U. C.-Stanford tour- | nament, which takes place next month, will- be held this afternoon at the Califor- nia tennis courts, San Francisco. The en- tries will be Messrs. Syle, Everett, Magee, Hatch, Gage, Gibbs, Henderson, Crawford, McChesney, Gage and Bell. The Stanford preliminary will be held next Saturday at the same place. Notes. The fisal regart of the Commissioners appointed for the opening of Cedar street, from Springl street to the property of R. P. Thomas, will be heard at the meeting of the Board of Trustees on Monday night. The street is only thirty feet wide at pres- ent, but the Commissioners have secured deeds for a sixty-foot street from the prop- erty-owners through whose land the street is to be cut. A farewell reception was tendered to Rev. and .Mrs. Learned of the First Bap- tist Church last night. Mr. Learned re- signed the pastorate of the church a short time ago, having decided to take up the work of the gospel in the East. A game of basket-ball was played before a large andience in Harmon gymnasium yesterday afternoon between teams selected from the sophomore and freshman classes. The score made was 6to 4 in favor of the sophomores. ALAMEDA. All of the stop-over appeal cases of Dr. W. H. Robinson and others before Su- perior Judge W. E. Greene were dropped from the calendar yesterday, to be re- stored when the restraining order is re- moved. The cases were to have been heard yesterday, but were prevented by the restraining order in the general action in San Francisco. The Faculty Banqueted. Professor and Mrs. Anderson of the University Academy banqueted the fac- ulty and the members of the senior class of '95 and their lady friends last evening. Covers were laid for twenty-five, and at the conclusion of the banquet the gather- ing retired to the spacious drawing-rooms, where the time was passed in social amusement. Died From Pulmonary Troubles. Mrs. Martha Rodgers died at her home on Central avenue on Thursday evening. Deceased was 32 years of age and a native of England. She had been a sufferer from pulmonary troubles for years, which were the cause of her death.” Funeral services will be held this morning at 10 o’clock from her late residence. Death Was Accidental. Coroner Baldwin held an inquest yester- day over the remains of James Rohan, who was killed while unloading lumber on Thursday from a freightcar a% the transfer int. The cause of death was shown to accidental. Deceased was 24 vears of age and a native of Ireland. The EI Sueno Launching. Commodore Leonard has issued invita- tions for the launch of his new yacht, El Sueno, next Sn\n-duglmornin . A brass band will be in attendance, and the blocks which hold her to terra firma will be knocked from under at 9 o’clock, Died From Pneumonia. Grace Buckley, the youn$ daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Buckley, died yesterday of pneumoni ————— “If you don't take Langley’s Directory, you don’t get the names.” Out Monday. Some of these needed repairs are urgent. | Certain wharves are pronounced to be in a | dangerous condition by the engineer, and | of course this work will have to be at- | responsible for any damage to shipping | that may be caused by the insecurity of | the wharves and the rottenness of the pil- | ing atong the approaches. There is plenty of money with which to pay for the work.” Mr. Colnon turned to the engineer’s re- Sort and showed that among the items esignated as urgent is the Clay-street wharf. It is characterized as being “in a very shaky condition. The inner endis not actuaily dangerous, but the remainder is in a very serious condition.” Mr. Holmes suggests that the entire wharf | should be rebuilt. | The am‘)roaches to ferry slips 1 and 7 are | in very attention. Theinnerend of Howard-street wharf 1 is in a very bad condition, and | Howard-street whart 3 is shaky. The inner | end of the Steuart-street wharf is reported | to be in a dangerous condition. The engineer has divided the work into | three classes, as follows: That which re- | quires immediate - attention, that which will admit of temporary delay, and that where repairsare not imperatively required for some time to come. ““There is a great deal of important work confronting this board,” continued Mr. Colnon, “and some of it is of a nature that requires the utmost care and the most careful deliberation. For instance, there is the granting of a lease of China Basin to the San Joaquin Vul}ey Railroad Com- pnn{). That is a piece of work that must not be hnstil{ executed, because there is a future as well as a present, and we cannot tell J“" what the future may bring forth. Conditions change with the times just as men come and men go. 1t is our solemn | duty as Harbor Commissioners to think of the future as well as to draw conclusions from thenpast and act in the present. I am heartily in favor of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad, and will do allI can to promote its success. “The granting of a lease to China Basin is u_necessity for the success of the new road. Itisa good thing and a matter of reat importance, but the interests of the State should not be forgatten or neglected. Fifty years, whichis the maximum of time allowed by the statute for the term of the ‘lease, is a long time. It looks all right and proper now, but after ten years people may look upon it differently. It might even be considered as another grinding monopoly. Who can say? What is now loudly and heartily applauded may in time ge as loudly condemned. For these reasons I say that the number of years for which the lease is to be made should be most carefully considered from all points of view and in all its bearings. ““I have not been in office and on the ground sufficiently long to become thor- oughly familiar with all the needs of San Francisco’s harbor, but so far asT have gone I have found that there is plenty of room for improvements in various direc- tions. Improvements are needed, not only in the matter of harbor structures on the front, but in the general workings of the harbor management. “The passenger depot at the foot of Mar- ket street, if constructed according to the glnm and specifications, will be a thing of eauty as well as usefulness, and will be a just cause of pride to the people of San francisco. East street should, of course, be beautified in every possible way and kept in repair so as to present a neat, clean and attractive appearance to travelers who come here from other lands. “It is very unfortunate,” continued Mr, Colnon, “that the Legislature did not pass the bill to permit the Harbor Commission- ers to exchange certain reclaimed land on East street for a portion of the corner at Sacramento, Market and East streets on which to make a landing for the proposed passenger bridge across East street to the new depot building. “‘As matter now stands it is doubtful if we can build that much-needed struc- ture. The ground in question isabsolutely necessary.in order to secure a landing for the bridge. I understand that resent the property brings in a rental of $1200 a month. That being the case it would prob- ably be valued at something like $180,000 t0 $200,000 under condemnation proceed- ings, and the Harbor Commission has not that much money at its command. Itis sible, however, that the next Legisla- will pass a law which will enable us to make use of the reclaimed land referred to for the purpose. In my opinion the pro- posed bridge is an urgent necessity for the safety of human lives and limbs and the convenience of the public.” The ground desired for the upper or west landing of the bridge is a portion of the Joseph Frank estate, being the corner of Sacramento, East and Market streets. The ground in question, as well as the State's reclaimed and unoccupied land, together d condition and need immediate | - | The late General John C.

His BoNDSMEN TOo BE | DISMISSED. The fee law which began its career a few months ago with so much criticism on the part of the officials at the City Hall and has been the subject of more or less violent speech on the part of certain lawyers and | others prone to litigation is to be put to the | test as to its own legality. | Sheriff Whelan is this time to take the initiative against it. He was before the Finance Committee yesterday by way of explaining what he meant to do aboutit and securing the peaceful co-operation of the city in a lawsuit. He said that the fee law was not only a nuisance, according to his view, but that it entailed much addi- tional labor, requiring extra clerks, while it took away the means by which underthe old 1aw provision was made for their pay- ment. The Sheriff was répresented by Attorney Metson of Reddy, Campbell & Metson. . The matter was discussed atlength and it was decided to instruct County Attorney Creswell to prepare to contest an agreed case in whicg the Sheriff should refuse to accept fees tendered, as required under the present law, and that the court should be { asked to compel him to do so. The matter of the suit against the bonds- men of Robert RoutledFe, absconder, was bmu{%he to & rather ingloriousconclusion— if indeed it is concluded. Robert Routledge some months ago. it may he remembered, was accused of rob- bing the estate of one Mr. Nixon of some $2$t§'0. A brother of Nixon came all the way from Ireland to learn what had hap- Pened to the estate, as he had heard not.g- ng from it. Upon discovering the status of the case he had Routledge arrested, and Messrs. Ghirardelli and Irwin became his e on th en, when the case came up for trial it tvas found that Routledge hn; decam;ed. The city then became a party to the trans- action, and employed O'Donnell & Straus as special attorneys in a suit to recover 'A dh;om the bon :‘;nen. efense was made in this action tha Routledge had been allowed to £0_on hi: own recognizance before the bonds were asked for. The records of Judge Low's court were introduced in evidence, and against the case was shown to be written the let- ters, 0. R.,” which were interpreted to mean “Own rewfnizance." Judge Low sai 1 having made any such order, and on this the case was to be contested, Yesterday | afternoon, however, Judge Low came be- fore the committee and said that his recol- lection had been refreshed by his clerk and stenographer, and that he now remem- bered having allowed Routledge to go on his own recognizance. Upon~ this the committee concluded that it would be use- less to go oh with the suit, and therefore an order was made agreeing to withdraw it, provided the bondsmen %efendnnts in the case would pay the fee of the city’s special counsel, some $300. ———— Strong Prices in Wheat.

DR, MACKENZIE DOBS NOT RESIGN, PERFECTLY HARMONIOUS RELA- TIONS BETWEEN PASTOR AND PEOPLE. HIS DUTIES NOT TOQ HEAVY. THE CHURCH OFFICERS SAY THE SToRY ORIGINATED FRrROM A JOKE. _— | The Rev. Dr. Robert Mackenzie, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, on Van Ness avenue and Sacramento street, said yesterday that the story of his intended resignation was a great piece of news to him. 1 “I left bright and early for the Theologi- | cal Seminary at San Anselmo, where I oc- | cupy the chair of apologetics. My atten- | tion was attracted to the article published in that morning’s CaLL by one of my pu- | pils, who was greatly surprised at the re- port. I was the most surprised of any- body, but having been in the newspaper | profession myself I can well understand | how once in a while little inaccuracies will | come before the public eye. | “Personally I decided to let the matter | drop; in fact, to say nothing about it, and | not_publicly deny it. My church officers, | however, were so taken aback that a meet- | ing was held Monday noon, where it was agreed upon to emphatically deny the-alle- gations. 2 “I should really be better pleased not to | have an interview on this subject, but as T have always gotten along so well with our papers here, of course I will notat this | time refuse an expression.” Dr. Mackenzie continued by saying that his relations with the church were most leasant and that no climax had resulted rom the fact of his occupying two posi- tions. | He said it was true that an assistant in but in all large churches it was necessary | to have aifl. The doctor said that the only disagreea- ble phase to the report is the feeling that it at Brst created among the church officers, as'¥ach one naturally thought that some secret known to a few of the others had been diyulged, but as the entire story was groundless of truth, which fact was soon demonstrated, the very best spirit again existed. In concludin{;, Dr. Mackenzie said: “‘As | to strained relations, the idea is absurd. | Good fellowship and combined Christian endeayor was nsver more evident in my | church than now. I am not overworked in my duties, as I systemize them. About | leaving California for a field in New York | City, I must say that it is an entirely un- heard-of proposition to- me. I expect to live here many years if health is spared, | and will continue in the Christian work as ardently as ever.” | Robert Dickson, manager of the Queen’s Insurance Company, 401 Montgomery | street, said: 1am a trustee and also elder at the First Pres- byterian Church, and have been since bafore Dr. Mackenzie came to us. I am also one of the | Qirectors of the Theological Seminary at San | Anselmo. I can speak for everybody that | knows Dr. Mackenzle, and it is with & _feeling | of the utmost affection and regard. We were | absolutely dumfounded when informed | through the press that we were to consider his resignation. Evervbody knows of the great ability of Dr. Mackenzié and his high standin, as an organizer, and in truth we cannot an would not lose him. There is no truth in any réport relative to dissatisfaction er discord in the church. Ican probably tell you the way this resigna- tion alarm starfed. It was from a remark Dr. Mackenzie made, jokingly, some time ago to the effect that if we Coulfi 1ind any good, stron; man who would take his place, and who coul bear every_responsibility, he would step down and out. You sge how huge a joke this seemed to us. Should Dr. Mackensie preach one sermon a month at the First Presbyterian Church every- thing would be as satisfactory with the 800 and 0dd members as it 1S now, s far as & ques- tion of complaint is concerned. Cyrus S. \\'right. a prominent official of Dr. Mackenzie’s church, said that the idea of a resignatian of the pastor was non- sense. e said that the subject had never been heard of by any officer or member of the congregation.
