WILL THE BITUMINOUS ROCK OR- DINANCE ESTABLISH A MONOPOLY ? IT SHUTS OUT COMPETITION, THE ORDER Has SoME POINTS TaaT WiLL Notr BEAR IN- YESTIGATION. The proposed ordinance providing speci- fications and designating how bituminous rock shall be treated prior to laying it upon the'streets has given rise to a rumor that itis an attempt to establish a monopoly detrimental to the property-owners of San Francisco. This order has been passed to print and will come up for final consideration by the Board of Supervisors Monday evening. Among other things it proposes that bitu- minous rock shall contain from 10to 15 per cent of bitumen that will not vaporize at 250 degrees Fahrenheit and must be free from all stone pebbles, mica, earthy, gray- elly or vegetable matter. Reduction of the rock shall not be done in open kettle, and furthermore the rock used shall be in the condition as taken from the mines in its natural state in bulk, and delivered on the streets without haying been previously disintegrated. This ordinance has been criticized by those who know what bituminous rock is, as it is asserted that all bitumen and other asphaltic products contain more or less of the foreign ingredients prohibited by the ordinance. As the product of the San Luis Obispo mines, \\'I‘]’ich are the largest bituminous rock fle}gosits in the State, can be brought to San Francisco only by sea after reduc- tion and packing in bags suspicion has been aroused that the ordinance relating to bituminous rock is a cinch game, played to shut off competition and establish a monopoly. Thereis good reason for the suspicion. With a monopoly of the mar- ket the Santa Cruz bituminous rock com- panies could raise the price of material, as they are the only concerns that liver the rock in bulk. Shipowners refuse to carry it in bulk as the heat causes bitumen to consolidate in vessels if the rock is not in bags. It is apparent then that the benefits of competition would be denied the public by this specious ordinance. The right to the benefits of competition would then be taken from the public through this proposed ordinance. 8an Luis Obispo rock is well known to be equally as good as Santa Cruz rock and there certainly is no reason why the Santa Cruz mines should be given a mon- opoly of the business. The order compelling the delivery of the rock on the ground in its natural not assure good work when laid the rock can be so badly burned in pas through the kettle as to be unfit for paving purposes. Again, the prohibition of open kettles will drive out of the tield small contractors, who cannot afford to own expensive steam plants, and it will add greatly to the cost of small pieces of work, owing to the ex- pense of moving heavy steam machinery from place to place. These same steam_engines on the public streets are more of a nuisance than the open kettles. San Francisco is about the only civilized city where they are tolerated, as experience has shown that they blacken houses with smoke and are the direct cause of serious accidents. Early last Feb- ruary Maurice Casey, secretary of the Cen- tral Gaslifi:ht Company and manager of the McLaughlin estate, was out riding with his mother, when his horse was frightened by a steam plant, and running away threw Mr. Casey and his mother upon the street. Luckily the accident was not attended with fatal results. Only last Thursday a man was killed by running against a plant that obstructed the street. ‘What the public are most deeply inter- ested in with regard to the ordinance is this: It is aimed at competition from various sources, and hasall the appearance upon its face of being an attempt to secure a dangerous monopoly through the medium of the Board of Supervisors.

The scheme was discov- ered before they were able to make money atit. ———————— TO FILIBUSTER IN HAWAIL C. W. Ashford Discloses His Dark and Deep-Laid Scheme. “Yes, the rumor that I am going back to Honolulu to take possession of the Ha- waiian Government is quite true,” said C. ‘W. Ashford,ex-Attorney-General and exile, at the Lick House last night. “And I think President Dole will take a reef in his whiskers when he reads about it,” he added. “But it is not true that I have chartered the schooner Alexander, or any other ves- sel, as yet. Of course we, the exiles, have had all sorts of secret meetings and coun- cils of war, and have hatched some horrible plots. “One of the propositions now pending before our grand council is for each of the exiles to take a gun between his teeth and swim over there by easy stages. We don’t need a fast-sailing schooner. A common whaleboat, laden with a dozen determined men, arms, ammunition and provisions, would be sufficient. We held a very lively and highly edifying council of war to- night, and had an excellent supper along with it. What was said and done concerns our affairs of state, and must be kept diplomatically secret. When I am rea-fi to issue a political manifesto I will publis! it in the want columns of some enterpris- ing evening paEer in this city. “Money? Oh, we have any amount of that. All the exiles came away with great wads of cash and other valuables.” We looted the islands before we left. But we are not satisfied with what we got. Like Oliver Twist, we want more of the same; but we don’t wamt it for ourselves or our friends in the cages over there, but for Mr, Dole and hisfellow-tyrants. *‘But seriously,” Mr. Ashford continned; «it is very likely that a filibusterin§ expe- dition to Hawali will be started and that I will be right in the middle of it. In jus- tice tomy common sense, however, I will say that when I charter a vessel to take me and my friends and our guns to Hawaii, the public at large will neither be informed nor consulted in the matter.” HUST SHAVE BEFORE NOON. THE NEW LAW FOR CLOSING BAR- BER-SHOPS COMES INTO FORCE TO-DAY. THE HaLr-HoLipay To BE CELE- BRATED BY A GRAND Mass- MEETING. . The law for closing barber-shops at noon on Sundays comes into force to-day, and the barbers are preparing to celebrate the event by a grand mass-meeting, which will be held at Foresters’ Hall, 102 O'Farrell street, at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon. Three months ago, when a member of enthusiastic members of the tonsorial pro- fession, were working to make the bill for closing the shops on Sundays a law,a meeting was held in Red Men’s Hall, which resulted in the formation of the Barbers’ Association of San Francisco. It is under the auspices of this organization that the mass-meeting this afternoon will be held. The officers and members of the Barbers’ Protective Union will be present by special invitation, though many of tbe leading spirits in the association are mem- bers also of the union. ‘W. G. Seppich, president of the Barbers’ Protective Union, said yesterday evening: I think the meeting will be a very successful one, as the barbers are enth ing secured the bill, and they will bring their friends, and their wives and sisters too, very grobabl_w One good effect of the meeting will e to draw general atiention to the fact that it is mow a law for barbers' shops to be closed Dalf the day on Sundays. ‘When asked whether it was the inten- tion of the association to take any steps in case the law was not immediately com- | plied with W. G. Seppich replied: We shall keep our eyes open to see whether the law is being observed. If any one violates itand appears stubborn a committee will be appointed and the case wili be made a test one, To keep & barber-shop open aiter noon on Sunday is now & misdemeanor with & fine of from $10 to $50. Another matter that I intend to bring for- ward at the meeting is that of the San Joaquin road. The barbers are a progressive people and the State has done agood deal forus. It seems to me that we ought to reciprocate and tryto do something for the State by helping along the railroad. An attractive programme has been ar- ranged for the mass-meeting, which be- gins at 2:30 this afternoon. There will be short addresses by well-known men, and the exercises will also include musical selections. Among the speakers will be: Charles M. Shortridge, editor and propri- etor of the CaLy; H.G.W. Dinkelspi and William G. Seppich. Senator McAl lister of Marin County, who introduced the bill’that becomes a law to-day, was to have been among the speakers, but busi- ness compels him to leave the city this morning. e o KNIGHTS OF THE GRIP. They Indorse the Efforts Being Made for Progress. At the meeting of the directors of the Pacific Coast Commercial Travelers’ Asso- ciation last evening at the Grand Hotel, twenty-two applicants were admitted to membership. The committee having in charge the ar- rangements for the Santa Cruz picnic, which is to take place some time during July, reported that more than 300 travelers had signified their intention of attending, and said that od progress had been made toward making the affair highly en- joyable for all who might participate. esolutions were passed indorsing the actions of the Merchants’ Association and the Half-Million Club in their respective efforts to promote the welfare of San Fran- cisco and the State, and a vote of thanks was tendered the CALL for the attention that has of late been paid to the affairs of the association. The affairs of the association arein a flourishing condition, the treasurer report- ing a cash balance on hand of $8277 91. . Chinese Actors to Go Home. Fourteen Chinese boys, who for the past two years have been singing in the chorus at the Chinese theater, will leave for China by steamer next week, their term of contract having expired. Yesterday afternoon, under the guidance of Di Kay, their manager, they made the rounds of the sights of this city, and sttracted much attention because of their bright-coiored costumes and the fantastic adornment of their queues with pink, blue and yellow cord. ———— Time Limit on Car Transfers. Charles Higgins, & druggist, 603 Montgomery street, was thrown by a conductor from a car belonging to the Sutter-street line last Sunday for refusing to paya fare. Mr. Higgins had tendered to the conductor a transfer on which the time-limit had expired, and his ejectment was in consequence of bis‘refusal 10 pay n second time. He now expects to bring suit against the company to test the legality of the rule enforcing a time-limit on transfers. —————————— The St. Bernard Club. An enthusiastic meeting of the St. Bernard Club was held last evening in the oflice of the Breeder and Sportsman, President G, H. Barker in the chair. It was unanimously decided that the members should show their dogs at the forthcoming bench show, and acommittee, consisting of Dr. Regensburger and President Barker, was appointed to secure & number of medals for prizes. ————— stic over hay- | THEY ARE GHASED AND GAPTURED. DETECTIVE BYRAM AND J. D. EISFELDER DISTINGUISH THEMSELVES, TWO DESPERATE BURGLARS. ONE oF THEM SHOT JEAN CARREAU, KEEPER OF A LODGING- Housk. A clever capture was made by Detective Byram and J. D. Eisfelder, an employe of the Pierce Cash Register Company, yester- day morning. The men captured are J. D. Patterson, alias Sullivan, and Harry Hark. Byram and Policeman Ryan were on Third street about 11 o’clock pursuing this city who are of the opinion that Rods Ohaff is a better field trinrer than Countess Noble, although the former has never ap- pcared in a field trial meeting on _this coast, Mr. Crocker having purchased the dog recently on his return from New York. Rods Chaff won third prize in an Eastern field trial, and good judges pronounced him an exceptionally good dog, with great staying powers, fine ranging qualities, and very steady on point and to shot. rovided both doFs are well next August the race will take place six weeks after the quail-shooting season opens on_grounds which are to be selected by the judges. The owners of the dogs, according to agreement, will each select a judge and the two judges will appoint a third judge who will decide upon any point in dispute. Crocker and Vernon must put up §400 on October 1, which will make the fullamount of the stake to be run for. It is said that Countess Noble will be matched against the winner. The match is creating con- siderable talk among sportsmen and dog- fanciers. A club which will be known as the Olympic Club’s Trap-shooters’ Annex has been formed at the lymfiic Club by the following members: L. D. Owens, George McComb, R.J. Hancock, F. Fuller, H. H.

They had just separated, and Byram had reached the corner of Third and Howard streets, when he heard running out of the lodging-house at 156 Third street and turned into Howard street westward. A man ran out after them yelling, “Murder! Police?”® Byram asked n what was the matter, and the man said the two men had shot him. him he wheeled round and pulled a re- volver out of his pocket. Byram quickly ulled out his revolverand Hark continued Ki: flight. Byram jumped on a Howard- street car, but the conductor refused to per- mit him to ride, as he had his revolver in | his hand. Byram jumped off and con- tinued the chuse onfoot. The two men separated at Fourth street. Hark got into ayard on the north side of Howard street | and Byram chased him over sheds and | fences till he saw him run through a house on to Natoma street. The woman of the house slammed the doorin Byram's face and locked it and it took some time before he could persuade her to cpenit. When he reached Natoma street a citizen told him that Hark had gone into a house on the corner of Fourth_and Natoma, where Byram found him. MWhen searched a re- volver, twelve keys and a pair of nippers for springing doors were found in his pockets. | When they separated Patterson ran down Fourth street toward Natoma. Eis- felder had been following them in his buggy and he jumped out and seized_Pat- terson and held him till Policeman Little appeared and took charge of him. When searched $22 80 were found in his pockets and a lot of souvenirs and foreign coin: They were both taken to the Southern sta tion and later to the City Prison. occupied by two brothers, R. C. and Amos Markel in’ the lodzing-house 156 Third street. R. C. Markel haypened to goto his | room and discovered them there. They tried to get him to go inside, and while do- ing so the landlord, Jean Carreau, made his appearance, They ran out of the room and Carreau tried to stop Patterson. Pat- terson had a small Sharpe’s four-shooterin his hand, which he had taken from the room, and he fired at Carreau, the bullet striking him on the forehead, but only in- flicted & flesh wound. ; Byram and Policeman Ryan found in the Toom of the Markel brothers a valise belonging to the burglars which contained money, jewelry and clothing taken from the bureau drawers, and ladies’ jewelry, evi- dently the product of another burglary. Patterson is an ex-convict. In Decem- ber, 1891, he was sentenced to three vears in San Quentin for burglary in having on Powell street. At that time he was known as J. D. Sullivan. Hark says he came here from St. Louis three days ago. He was a shoemaker and had been seeking work, as he was without a cent. He met Patterson in a saloon on Market street and ot friendly with him. He and Patterson, Ee said, had gone to the lodging-house to look for rooms. The officers say that Hark closely re- sembles the man who shot Blake. The hat found in the alley fits him perfectly and they will try to find out when he came to the city and his whereabouts on the night of the shooting. SETTER AGAINST POINTER. VERNON'S GLENBEIGH AND CROCK~ ER'S RODS CHAFF ARE MATCHED. Famous FIELD-TRIAL CONTESTANTS WiLL RACE FORA LARGE STAKE. Ever since the late Pacific Coast field trials there has been considerable talk con- cerning the field qualities of Glenbeigh, the winner, and much jealous feeling now exists among field-trial followers in conse- quence of the success the imported dog has achieved. In sporting circles it has been freely stated by fanciers of English setters that there are dogs owned by sportsmen of this citv that are capable of lowering the colors of the famous English dog in a pri- vate field trial. Howard Vernon, the proud owner of Glenbeigh, had learned of the brags that had been made, and as a means of gm{ping any further talk on the ques- tion of ownership of the champion field dog, issued a challenge in which he stated that he wotld back Glenbeigh against any du&on the coast, not even bar- ring Griffons, the great French all-round . sporting dog. P"i‘he ciallen;e did not have time to grow cold in the minds of dog fanciers when it was accepted by Gmrfie Crocker, who has deposited the sum of $100 forfeit as an evi- dence of good faith on his part to match his English setter Rods Chaff against Glenbeigh in a race for $500 a side. Vernon is more than pleased that this contest has been consummated, as it will, in a great measure, prove who is entitled to the hom:r of owning the best field dog on this coast. ] There are some prominent dog men in Byram gave chase and when Hark saw | They committed a burglary in the rooms | broken into the residence of Gustav Sutro, | their investication into the shooting of | J.

Between the drowsy sleep of the noctur- nal animals and the hypersensitive sleep of those which spend their lives in con- stant fear of their enemies a place must be found for the form of slumber enjoyed by the large carnivora and that of domestic nnimafi; the former have no enemies to | fear, except man, and the latter, protected by man, enjoy to the full extent the bless- ing of natural rest. Tigers are frequently found fast asleep in the daytime. Native hunters have been known to track them after a *'kill” to the place in which they were lying fast asleep and gorged with food, and to shoot them as they lie. When taking his midday re- pose in districts where it is little disturbed the tiger dors not always retire to a place of security like the bear, or even the leop- ard, which usually sleeps on the branch of a tree. It just lies down in some convenient sgnt, either shady or warm, according to the weather, and there sleeps almost re- ardless of danger. They have been found ying in dry nullahs, under trees and even in the grass of the hillsides, unobserved, until their disturber came within a few yards of them. General Douglass Hamilton, when shoot- ing in the Dandilly forest, came upon a tigress and two cubs lying fast aslgefi_ on their backs, with their paws sticking up in the air, under a clump of bamboos. When he was within a few yards of the group one raised its head and, without moving its body, quietly looked at him along the line of its body between its paws.

THEY ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN BAIL, AND WILL HAVE TO REMAIN IN JAIL. WILL BE TRIED.TO-MORRQW. OrFFicERs Now ON THE TRAIL OF THE PRINTER OF THE CERTIFICATES. Very little was done in the prosecution of the quintet of alleged forgers by the United States officials yesterday. All the men are still in jail, as none of them can secure bail. Greenwald’s friends seem to be working harder for him than do the relatives of the others. In consequence, it is expected that he will secure his release to-morrow. Harry Ciprico, who was purser for a time on the City of Peking, is | working hard in his brother’s interests. If the bail was only $5000 he could secure bonds in that amount readily, but $10,000 | is a barder sum to get men to go surety | for. The case will be called to-morrow at 2. 3., and Attorney T. D. Riordan, who represents the prisoners, will make a strong plea to have the bail reduced one half. great numbers yesterday, and took them managed to pass the weary hours. Foss is becoming pale and haggard under restraint, Ciprico is defiant and carries things with a high hand, Sullivan is disconsolate, Greenwald has not yet realized the serious predicament he is in, and Katzauer is_ap- arently indifferent. The latter had all is plans laid to leave for Puget Sound. Had the arrest been delayed twenty-four hours, he would have been in Victoria, B. C., before the revenue officers would | have known of his departure. | The opium ring. which is said to have | been connected with the certificate gang, is not receiving much attention from the | Federal authorities. The drug was not in- tended for use in San Francisco, but was | in transit to Honolulu, where it is worth $50 a pound. Since the duty has been cut in halves there is no_more profit in smug- gling opium into San Francisco. Ii the | { Customs authorities can_ catch the stuff in | | transit, however, it is confiscated, and a strict watch is kept in_consequence. Last week Collector Wise learned that a con- | | siderable quautity of the drug was secreted | at some point on the bay and was to be smuggled aboard the steamer Australia. | A number of John Doe warrants were se- cured and about ten customs inspeetors | searched the bay thoroughly. They went | around in the revenue cutter Hartley, but in_every instance the birds had flown and i taken the opium with them. In this connection, several employes of the | Oceanic Steamship Company are men- | tioned, but it is only fair o state that out- | le of Foss there is not a particle of evi- dence against them. On one or two occa- sions small packages of opium were found on the steamer Alameda, but it was after- ward proved that the stuff belonged to some of the firemen, who had attempted to smuggle it ashore at Honolulu, but failed. As it bore the United States revenue | Stamp, all that could be done was to seize | it, because it was not on the ship’s mani- | | fest. An attempt to unearth the gang will | be made, however, and if the necessary | evidence can be secured they will be ar- rested. Secret Service Agent of the Treasury | Harris has received instructions from | | Washington to do everything in his power | to secure the arrest of all partiesimplicated | in the certificate and opium frauds and to assist in getting up evidence against those already under arrest. Collector of Internal Revenue Welburn, Internal Revenue Agent McGlachlin and | Deputy Revenue Agent B. M. Thomas have been working on the certificate fraud | cases for over six months. A number of | times they have been on the point of making the arrests, but something always came 1n the way. On this last occasion | the services of Secret Service Agent Harris and his two deputies were called in, and it ‘was they who really captured the counter- | feiters. - When the panel of the door was kicked in, Marshal Harris was the first to creep through the opening. His brother Roland followed, but got caught in the hole, and while he was nttem;fitin to extri- | cate himself Ciprico pulled_the door open | and attempted to escape. Heran into the arms of W.
