14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1895. T0 ASSIST THE FIESTA Many Interior Points Prbpose to Join the Big Ex~ cursion. THEY ASK FOR INFORMATION. Letters of Instruction ‘Are Sent to the Various Town .Com= mittees. There should have been, according te the decision of the citizens’ committee of thie Half-million Club, a.delegation from San Francisco in Sacramento last night. Too much business in the hands.of the commiiitee prevented such a delegation making .the trip. As a result the com- mittee of citizens of Sacramerto wired the Half-million Club that thé m: meeting had been postponed until to-night and requested that speakers be sent to address the public of the capital city this evening. The committee on promation of the Half- million Club Wwas even unableto reply favorably to this request, so it is miore than likely - that Sacramento’s mass-} meeting swill be- just ‘as enthusiastic from the source of information plied- by its local delegates to the Hali-million Club. Sacramento is not. alone in its T meetings * without. speak: from: San Francisco... Tulare;. Stockton and Merced sent similar requests, none of which could be complied with. The following . telegram was: serit by D. M. Carman to each of the cities named: “The committee is sorushed with details and the itinerary his ssumed such pro- | ortions it is impossible: for ‘the’ mem- ers to leave here.’ Porteérville, Tulare Cour has- sent two delegates to the Half-million Club.with & request that. the excarsion lay over for. “three hoursthere, during'which. time the visitors will be shown through the cotntry and be engbled_to take 4 drive through the orange groves. .. . . These communications -are only a. por- tion of the requests made from the interior portions of the State for actual participa- tion in the big excursion.

WATFS PLACE VACT. The People’s Bank Directors Have Discharged Him. PRESENTED ANOTHER BILL. Depositors Talk of Suing ‘Receiver Sheehan and His Bonds- men. The board of directors of the People’s Home Savings Bank held a meeting yes- terday afternoon, at which Directors J. W. Coleman, 8. K. Thornton, T. 8. Williams, 1. L. Merrill and George Stone were pres- ent. Directors J. C. Johnson and Rolla V. ‘Watt were absent. Director Williams submitted a long type- written report on his investigation of the methods adopted by Receiver Sheehan and Attorney Watt in managing the securities of the bank in the southern part of the State. The report was adopted. Mr. Watt sent a bill for $1250 to the direc- tors for services rendered as attorney for the bank. These services were enumera- ted as preparing and entering decree in the case of the People’s Bank against the Pa- cific Bank $1000, counsel in the case of Wolcott against the Pacific Bank $100, and examination and report on guarantees of Los Angeles Consolidated Railway Com- pany bonds $150. A warm discussion followed the reading of the bill between Directors Thornton and Coleman, who contended, respectively, for and against the payment of the bill. Mr. Thornton desired that Mr. Watt should be invitea to attend the meeting of the board and explain the bill more in detail. Stren- nous objection was made to this by all the rest of the board in chorus, and a motion was-made and carried that Mr. Watt be discharged as attorney for the People’s Bank. 5 The written resignation of Rolla V. Watt, brother of the deposed attorney, was received and accepted by the directors. A meeting of the executive committee, representing the depositors of the People’s Bank; was held yesterday evening. It was declded that the committee should request the attorneys of the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company to bring suit against Receiver Sheehan and his bondsmen for the recovery of $17,000 which Mr. Sheehan has paid for assistants and attorneys’ fees since he was appointed. Should Sacramento Decline the Local Grand Jury May Act. Gagan and the Senators Want to In- vestigate the Combine—Dutchy’s Encounter With Smith. If the Sacramento Grand Jury doés not investigate the senatorial combine and the charges of crookedness which have been made the Grand Jury of this city will take thie matter up. William Gagan; the foreman of the Grand Jury of this city, was anxious to begin an investigation here. Appeintments were made to meet him by persons who were supposed to be able to give information, but the appointments were not kept. Then it was urged that action by the Grand Jury here might interfere with the steps being taken by the Grand Jury in Sacramento. Last week when H. M. La Rue, foreman of the Sacramento Grand Jury, was in town, he dined with W. H. Gagan one evening, and the matter of the investiga- tion was discussed at length. There is a strong belief among the mem- bers of the local and of the Sacramento body that the combine was in existence, but there had been great difficulty in secur- ing any definite legal proof which would justify an indictment. *Young Dutchy’s” statement to the press was. much stronger than that made in the office of W. W. Foote. In speaking of the statement then made H. M. La Rue said that Young Dutchy declared that he would only tell the de- tails when summoned before the Grand Jury in Sacramento, and he demanded ex- pense money in advance. Mr. La Rue was not anxious to make any advance on such an uncertain contingency. Now that “Young Dutchy’s” statement has been made public it is quite likely that he may be ‘summoned to the capital to repeat undar oath what he has told the newspaper men. As a result of his statements, so the story | goes, “Young Dutchy” got into an en- counter in front of the Lick House yester- aay which did not end altogether credit- From those who should be in a position to know of the doings of the ‘‘combine” comes nothing but a burst of general de- nial of Hansted’s statements. Itis guard- edly admitted that there might have been certain feminine influences used in the matter of the pilot bill, the Consolidated Charities bill and the scalpers’ bill, but no one will take the onus of responsibility for definite statement save Hansted, who is being generally denounced. After his broad statements published in the CALyL it was wondered among hisown set what Hansted would do or say next. The ‘personal opinions of Han- sted’s friends asto his statements wereany- thing but complimentary. In one of his statements Hansted is credited with saying that he was asked if ne ‘“wanted his money with Senator Linder’s or separate.” . Senator Linder was seen last night and said: So far as I am concerned I really know noth- ing ebout Hansted, nor did I ever have any dealings with him beyond those of an ordinary acquaintance. Imet him in Sacramento with people 1 know, and treated him politely. That isall I know. As to the pilot or any other bill, I can only say that I never sold my vote in my life, although I may have voted in & line not quite consistent with my ideas in order to oblige a colleague. As to money in the last Legislature, I saw none, When I came to San Francisco Ireceiveda letter from this man Hansted asking me to in- ally, I believe the matter will be sifted to the bottom, and that in all probability all the men mentioned in connection with the elleged com- bine, will be subpensed to appear in Sacra- mento. Then the truth will probably be told, but as Isaid before the pilots putup not a cent for any kind of legislation whatever. ‘When the last story of Hansted’s impli- cating Senator Linder was made current it aroused no little ire among the Senator’s friends. According to report Ed Smith, an ex-Assembly clerk, met Hansted in front of the Lick House yesterday, and re- monstrated against the use by Hansted of Linder’s name. One word led to another, and Smith, it is stated, promptly punclted Hansted, knocking him down and kicking him after he was down. Hansted is an ex- prizefighter, but is said to have been badly worsted in the row. In speaking of the trouble afterward Smith, who is a strong friend of Senator Linder, is credited with saying, “I am not & coward, but when I had him down I did kick him, and I am glad of it.” Neither Hansted nor Smith were to be found at their homes last night, nor had any of their habitual haunts known them up to a late hour last night. Mike Smith, at whose saloon a meeting between Senator Seymour and Hansted was said to have been arranged, said, “I am tired of being mixed up in that man Hansted’s rows and tired of being called his particular friend. I know him only casually and have no business relations with him whatever.” CONGRESSMANJOYCOMING He Will Be the Guest of the Union League Club in This City. In Early Fall He Will Wed the Widow of the Late Dr. Washing- ton Ryer. Congressman Charles F. Joy, a promi- nent attorney, who will represent the Eleventh District of Missouri, which is the city of St. Louis, in the next Congress, is on his way west and will reach this city to-morrow. Mr. Joy is a brother of Edwin W. Joy of this city, and has the proud distinction of being the only Republican who has ever been elected to Congress from that Demo- cratic stronghold, 8t. Louis. He was de- clared elected at the election before the last by 2 majority of about seventy, but his seat was contested by J. J. O'Neill, in whose favor the contest was decided bya Democratic House. Mr. Joy’s political {riends and admirers secured his renomi- nation, and he was elected by a majority that no contest will disturb. In view of the political prominence Mr. Joy has attained the Union League Club has decided to make him its guest during his stay in this city, and on his arrival will escort him to its rooms. He will be given an informal luncheon, and at a later date | in his honor by the club. His visit to this city, the second in five years, will be of two weeks duration and one of pleasure. The Union League Club may think that it will monopolize the time of the visitor, but in this it will find itself mistaken, for there is at the Occidental Hotel a little widow who is anxiously awaiting the arri- val of the train that carries him hither. She is é»etite, with hair that is snow white, and is inclined a little to stoutness, but is one of the mest brilliant conversa- tionalists and most pleasant little ladies San Francisco has ever known. She is the widow of the late Dr. Washington Ryer, and in the fall she will become the bride o Congressman Joy. In 1888 the lady, who was Miss Elizabeth Ina Grant, of Boston, Mass., accompanied her father to Santa Barbara, and he being well pleased with the locality made it his home. There Miss Grant met Dr. Wash- ington Ryer, who became a warm friend. When the young lady, with her parents, removed from the South to Oakland, Dr. Ryer followed, and it was not long before it was announced that the doctor and Miss Grant were engaged. In 1890 they were married, but their married life, a ~most happy one, was but of short dura- tion, the doctor being taken away by death in 1892. Dr. Ryer left to his widow a handsome fortune in money and prop- erty, some of which has recently been dis- posed of by order of courtin the settle- ment of the estate. Mrs. Ryer has been connected with the Golden Gate Kindergarten Association of this city, has given much to charity, and it is said values money only for the pleasure it can produce to those she deems worthy ot her charity. Those who have the pleasure of the lady’s acquaintance say that she isa most charming dresser and is most companion- able. When Congressman Joy takes her to his Missouri home there are many who will sincerely miss her. The announcement of her engagement was a surprise to her friends. Sheleft here on a visit to St. Louis to see some relatives of her late husband. There she met the Congressman-elect and it was not long be- fore he won her. HER LIFE ON THE STAGE. Mrs. Elizabeth Saunders Will Celebrate Her Seventy-Sixth Birthday. Like the pioneers who came to this coast in quest of gold, and who are narrowing down in numbers through the ail-smiting hand of death, the actors and actresses who worked in early days in order to afford amusement to the toilers in their ‘“off” hours are becoming limited in number. There are a few left, though, and they are revered and respected by those who have enjoyed their performances. Among them is Mrs. Elizabeth Saunders, who to- d“fi will be 76 years of age. rs. Saunders was born in Philadelphia, and is of histrionic stock. Joseph Jeffer- son, the inimitable Rip Van Winkle, is her cousin, and other relatives were de voted to the stage. She early displayed her capabilities, and_made her debut in the city of Brotherly Love. Her first ap- pearance here was at the old Metropolitan Theater in 1852, She arrived here in 1850, but did not appear upon the stage until two years later, She was very popular in her parts at the Metropolitan, and when Tom Maguire opened his theater on Washington street she played there for awhile. % It was during the palmy days of the old California Theater that Mrs. Saunders made her chief success, and which was the foundation of the fame which came to her. The old stock company,of which John McCullough was forawhile the head, made itself famous in histrionic circles. No better nor brighter company ever per- formed behind 512 footlights in the United States. Each member of it was a star in his or her peculiar line. Among the ladies NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.

Further than this I know nothing about either Hansted or his lobby schemes. I was in no combine nor did Iknow that any existed. E. A. Phillips, who, Hansted intimates, brought up $7000 to influence, negative leg- islation in the pilot bill, said: 1 have nothing more to say other than that when I have any testimony to give I will give it to the Sacramento or any other Grand Jury ‘before whom I am summoned to appear. Natur- “Oh,”” said Mrs, Saunders last evening, “when I talk of the old days recollections and reminiscences flow in so thickly upon me that I get confused. We have never seen such theatrical days in a dramatic way in this city since the old California company drifted apart.

Exclting Struggle Over the Posses- sion of Little Ethel Rynder. The usual serenity of Judge Coffey’s court was broken by an unseemly and noisy incident yesterday morning, which ended in a fight between attorneys, special officers and bailiffs and the stealing of a child from the custody and care of the court. The controversy was over little Ethel Rynder, over whose guardianship the belligerents were fighting, legally in the court and with their fists outin the corridor. The child, according to the story of the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which is prosecut- ing the case, is the illegitimate daughter of a man named Brown. She was left in the care of Mrs. Tobelman by her mother, and Mrs. Rynder produces a document to show that the transfer of the custody of the child was legally made. Mrs. Tobeiman wasa Mrs. Rynder, and the officers of the society say that Tobel- man denies that she was ever married to him. In view of that fact she was not con- sidered a fit person 1o care for the child, and as she was living partly upon the charity of neighbors, a certain Mrs. Kindle- berger brought suit, through the society, for the guardianship of the child. As a preliminary to. the trial of the case, the society took charge of the little girl, and for some time past she has been staying at a seminary in Oakland. There were not many people in Judge Coffey’s court when the case opened, but suddenly with a cry of recognition Mrs. Tobelman sprang through the doorway and made across the courtroom for the girl. Following close behind was her at- torney, John McGlynn, and a crowd of friends and sympathizers, and regardless of the Judge’s plea for order and decorum and the admonitions of the bailiff theg gathered around the object of their searc] and nearly went into hysterics. John Finn, the court bailiff, proceeded under order of the court to throw the rioters out, and he had proceeded as far as Mr. McGlynn and Special Officer Wells of the “society,” and was going back to quiet the woman, when the noise of conflict rose outside the courtroom door, and he hur- ried out again. McGliynn and Wells were putting the merits of their cases to trial by combat, and Finn and Dei)uty Sheriff Usher, who happened to gnu along at the time, joined in. When they had stop{(ed and looked around they found that . Tobelman had departed and had taken the child with er. McGlynn has sued out warrants for the arrest of the Deputy Sheriffs and says he intends to prosecute them. McGlynn says he advised his client to take the child by force if necessary. as he believes the society has acted unlaw- fully.

Samples From the Workings Glve Indications of Perma- nency. J. A. Yerington, 2 mining man from the Silver Star district, was in the city yester- day. It was reported that Mr. Yerington has a bond on the mines of the Douglass Company, and also on the Brown mine, for sixty days, and that he was here to make a sale of new mining property. -Mr. Yerington was very reticent in regard to booming the proposition' in any way, shape or form at present, for the reason thst he does not think the time propitions for any great influx of people to the camp. He, however, said in regard to the locality and condition of the new works: This camp was discovered about a year ago last fall. Ed Brown took up the Hal’dscrsbbfi ciaim, and Grassie & Co. took up five claims on the extension of ihe Douglass group. These claims have been consolidated, together with the mill and all water rights. The district has been thoroughly located, and some of the out- side claims show remarkably well. The Oneida and Jupiter claims are also mak- ing a good showing, some exceedingly rich ore having been extracted. The general output of the mines in that district is, however, of lower grade, although the Hardscrabble shows by actual measurement 4000 tons of $90 ore which is 1n reserve. A mill of five stamps capacity has been erected by the company’s prospectors, and it has been kept steadily at work since the mid- dle of October. The Hardscrabble mine is considered to contain enough ore to keep the mill running steadily for several years. The extension, the new party claims, has enough ore to keep the mill running steadily for a year, and along the main lode ore is being extracted for a distance of a mile through to the Grassie groups. Mr. Yerington possesses samples from the principal workings showing the char- acter of the ore and large contour maps showing the position of all the claims and the geographical J)osmop of the district from the railroad—a distance of eight miles, the nearest station being Soda men have exam- Springs. i A great man. mmm% ined the samples, and the same have also been submitted to the State University, and exhaustive reports have been made as to the character of the lode. The reports show that the new mines compare very fa- vorably with the celebrated Treadwell mines in Alaska. The deposits of the pre- cious metal are very similar in their char- acteristics to those of the Alaska mine, and the results have been arrived at after the mines have been developed pretty fully, in some places to the extent of 200 feet. An encouraging feature that has been observed is the fact that the new®mines show that the deposits do not appear of an easily ex- hausted character, but, on the contrary, have every indication of permanency. L Mr. Yerington told one or two amusing anecdotes of overanxious people desirous of doing a little gold mining on their own account. All such attempts have neces- sarily proved futile, as all the claims have been taken and there is no good to be done };y overcrowdmg the new camp in its in- ney. Paid for the Chicken.
