THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 'WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1895. JGANST THE LOTERIES. Determined Action Taken by Wells, Fargo & Co.’s | Express. | | | THE LAW IS TO BE OBEYED.| All Employes Are Strictly Enjoined | Against Handling the J Tickets. | That the drift of public sentiment is | against lotteries was conclusively shown by the responsive manner in which the public greeted the CALL's refusal to pub- s of the United States have been direcled against this Uncle & mail pouches inds of literature all others. But until the suit of Mr, Hum- phreys was determined the amount of his claim could not be passed upon in the in- solyency ' proceedings. It Was & situation ‘worthy olgllb(‘rt and Sullivan, but the attor- neys found a way out of it by moving in Judge Slack’s court for permission to proceed in the suit. This permission being granted, Judge Beawell was asked for judgment. The suit was upon promissory notes and money alleged to be due for the cost of a Mexican mine sold by the plaintiff to Mr. Haley. Judge Seawell ren- dered a_judgment for $40,927 against Mr. Haley. Now the insolvency proceedings may 80 on. MOVING A MONSTER GUN. Many View the Work of Placing the Const-Defense Rifle at Fort Point. Considerable difficulty is experienced in moving the monster 12-inch coast-defense rifle from the bay beach, where it was landed from a barge, to the bluff at Fort Point, overlooking the Golden Gate, where it will be mounted. The huge weapon is forty-two feet long and weighs sixty tons, without either breechblock or carriage. The latter is al- ready in place, but the breech biockhas not been sent out from the East and will not be until the rifle is in position. To accom- LOTTERIES THE GREAT WELLS, FARGO HARD HIT. & Co's EXPRESS COMPANY REFUSES TO HANDLE TICKETS: The following peremptory order has been issued by the Wells=Fargo Express Company: TO ALL EMPLOYES: From and after receipt of this you must not, under any circumstances, receive or forward any paper, certificate or instrument purporting to be or representing a ticket, chance, share or interest in or dependent upon the event of a lottery, so-called gift concert, or similar enterprise, offering prizes de- pendent upon lot or chance, or any advertisement of such lottery, so=called gift concert, or similar enterprise, offering prizes depsndent upon lot or chance. The carrying of such being prohibited by the United States law, any employe violating the law becomes individually liable to fine or imprisonment, or both. Great caution must be exercised on the part of all employes, to the end that this order may be strictly obeyed. E: M. COOPER, Manager. bearing upon lotteries. The great express company of Wells, Fargo & Co. has now taken the same position in compliance with a recent law and nothing pertain- ing to lotteries will be handled by that cor- poration hereafter. The life of a nefarious gambling concern like a lottery depends upon the facility with which it is able to reach the great masses of the people. This new order just issued by Wells, Fargo & Co. therefore cost the lottery companies millions of dol- lars. There is another step to be taken in this regard, and that it will be taken no | one can doubt, for the telegraph companies as well as the postal department and the express companies must, in the end, be- come amenable to law and public opinion. It may therefore be expected thatina com- paratively short perfod of time the tele- | graph companies will refuse to transmit announcements of lottery drawings. With | that will come the final downfall of this | monstrous combination against the wel- 4are and morality of the public. The circular just issued by Wells, Fargo & Co. is all that could be asked for by the most ardent enemies of lottery cor- porations. Itisaddressed to all employes of the express company and directs that after the receipt of the notice they shall not under any circumstances receive or for- ward any paper, certificate or instrument purporting to be or representing a ticket, chance, share or interest in or depending upon the event of a lottery, so-called gift concern or similar enterprise offering prizes depending upon lot or chance, or any advertisement of such lottery or other | concern of the kind. All employes are di- | vectly charged to carry out the provisions of this instruetion. E. M. Cooper, manager for Wells, Fargo & Co., who issued the circular referred to, | was yesterday asked the cause for its pub- | lication. “The notice means just what it said,” | replied Mr. Cooper. “The express com- pany absolutely refuses to handle or for- | ward any matters appertaining to lotteries, | lottery tickets, drawings or the like.” “Had there been any violation of United Btates law touching this matter which | called forth your circular?” | “No, not that; it is simply a clear enun- ciation of the company’s determination not to have anything to do with lotteries. ‘We want employes of the company to un- derstand that they are personally respon- sible if they do any such thing as has been prohibited by the company, and to warn them against such actions as are known to be in contravention of the law, and will not be tolerated.” It will soon be that lotteries will be compelled to send private couriers through- out the cities of the land when their drawings are made and that will cost so much that the big lotteries will not be able to bear the expense and will necessarily go out of busines Local lottery companies may be organized for operation in the respective cities where they are located, but they will be under the ban of the law, and with the departure of the demi-re- spectability heretofore enjoyed by them they will become comparatively weak and barmless. s Captain J. J. Haley’s Mine. Captain J. J. Haley went into insolvency gbout the first of the year. At that time the suit of E. C. Humphreys against him for £35,000 was rapidly approaching the judgment stage. Of course insolvency proceedings stop | keenly felt. plish this involves a vast amount of labor. The contractors who are moving the big gun have been fourteen days in transport- ing the piece 1400 feet, and they are well satistied with their work, considering that they have pulled the_ big mass of metal up a hill over 250 feet high. There is yet over 2000 feet to convey the rifle before reaching the pit where it will be monuted perma- nently. The remainder of the distance, like the first lworlinn, is uphill. Large numbers of ple ride and walk to Fort Point every nd siton the hillside watching the men at work. Greased skids, resem- bling the ways in a shipyard, are laid upon the ground. The rifle is placed upon a large frame. Heavy block and tackle connected with a do engine is set in operation, and the massive weapon moves slowly toward its final resting place. dozen curves in the road have been passed, and at each it was necessary to raise the load from the skids by hydraulic jacks and swing it around in the right direction. Yesterday the big gun reached McDowell avenue, where it was again raised from the skids and turned to the west. From that point the workmen expect to cover over 100 feet a day, as there will be buta few curves. This is the first of the three large coast- defense rifles to reach this coast. The second will be placed near the fort and the third will be mounted upon the bluff across the bay near Lime Point. B. Mc- Mahon & Son have the contract of placing the three guns at their pits and will per- form the work for $3550. Difficult as it is, the present work will be child’s play compared to that of raising the last gun up the rocky bluffs on the Marin County shore. These rifles will throw 2000 projectiles a distance of twelve miles. They will be mounted on disap- pearing carriages. FATHER BRADY’S FUNERAL Clergy and People Attend the Requiem Services at St. Mary’s in Large Numbers. The funeral of the late Rev. Father Brady, superior of the Paulist Fathers on this coast and pastor of old St. Mary's Cathedral, took place from the old church on California street at 10 o’clock yesterday morning. The office for the dead and a solemn requiem mass were celebrated. Reyv. Father White was the celebrant of the mass, Rev. Father Wyman deacon and Rev. Father Otis subdeacon. The Most Rev. Archbishop Riordon, wearing his pontifical robes, and a large number of the local clergy occupied seats within the sanctuary. The church was crowded with people who came to pay their last respects to the dead. The discourse on the occasion was deliv- ered by Very Rev. Father Prendergast; the Vicar-General of the archdiocese of San Francisco. He referred in eloquent_terms to the merits of the deceased missionary, whose death, although he was not very well known bere owing to his short residence on the Pacific slope, was none the less cer He had obtained wide recog- nition as an eloquent preacher and zealous missionary throughout. the East. After the services the remains were con- veyed to Calvary Cemetery and deposited in the vault. e ¥ire on Tehama Street. The alarm of fire from box 61, Third and Howard streets, at 5:45 last evening, was turned in on acconnt of a blazein the residence of John Brasman, owner of the building 150 Tehame street. A defective flue was the cause. Most of the damage was done to the partitions, which had to be broken through to get at the fire. Loss 400, covered by insurance.

CONTEST FOR OELRICHS JR. Arguments as to Procedure In the Case Are Set for Next Friday. Yesterday had its due proportion of de- velopments in the matter of the Fair will. Judge Slack’s court was uncomfortably c.owded, and, no doubt, if the morbid por- tion of the community had not been other- than the standing room there was. . The contest of the last, or “Craven will,” made by Margaret J. Crothers and Andrew Fair, the sister and brother of the de- ceased, in which they were joined by John Crothers and Mary Fair, was upon the reg- ular calendar. It had also been rumored that the minor heirs would also file a con- test. The contest of Mrs. Crothers and of An- drew Fair is based upon the fact that they wise engaged, there would have been less | | sell Wilson, “and that we be given ten | days to plead vo the contests filed to-day, and we will further ask that the court per- mit any motion to be made upon which the parties may hereafter be advized by counsel.” This order was made and there was a scurry of feet and a shifting of chairs as the legal heavy-weights started to leave the room. The rap of the bailiff’s gavel and the cry of “Keep order in court !’” stopped both the noise and the leaving. Judge Paterson had something more to say. He called at- tention to the fact that the minor heirs were without funds for the employment of experts in matters of writing or for any purpose connected with the litigation. Wilson wanted the matter to go over till Friday and Renben H. Lloyd tfi)jected to | any allowance being made. . This matter also went over till the hear- ing of Friday, the feet shuffled again, and, | in spite of the bailiff's gavel, the érowd filed out of the courtroom. ‘ BLACK AGAINST BARTELS. | BT Vi | The Thief of the Star of Freedom to Be Tried by a Mexican District | Court. Oscar Bartels, who stole the schooner | Star of Freedom from her moorings on the mud flats, and who was apprehended at Cape St. Lucas by the Mexican authori- | ties, has found himself in a very unpleas- | ant predicament. | Word was received yesterday by the Col- | lector of Port from the United States Con- | sul at La Paz that that official had been EX-JUDGE VAN R. PATERSON, WHO REPRESENTS THE MINOR HEIRS. [From a photograph by Marceax.] were legatees under the first, or “Goodfel- low, will.” the first for $250,000 and the latter for §50,000. They alleged that the will dated September 21, 1894, and the first filed, was the last will, and that they were informed and believed the writing under dated or signed by James G. Fair, or exe- cuted by him in any manner whatever. Mrs. Crothers is one of the special ad- ministrators of the estate, and is named as one of the executors in each will, and both contestants are legatees under both the “Craven’’ and the “Goodfellow"’ wills. Ex-Justice Van R. Paterson called theat- tention of the court to the fact that a co: tract had been filed, and, as therepresenta- tive of the minor heirs, asked leave to filea similaz contract. “I contend,” he said, “that this so-called | hotographic ‘will, .dated September 24, | 1894, is not the will of James G. Fair. We { merely_allege that Fair never wrote the will. ~We suppose, therefore, the applica- tion of Dr. Marc Levingston for special let ters of administration, as well as the peti- tion for the probatejof this document, ca- not now be taken up.”’ Judge Paterson then explained the nature of the contest which he filed, and which he said was en- tirely similar to that of John A. Percy, representing the first contest fiied. Reuben H. Lioyd called attention to the fact that on March 27, 1895, the court ap- pointed Herman Oelrichs guardian ad litem of his son, Herman Oelrichs Jr., and, there- lfo_re, he said, the Judge cannot appear for him. In reply Judge Paterson said: ‘‘We shall claim that the father is too interested a party to act as his son’s guardian in this proceeding. 1f his wife, who claims under this will, should die, he would receive under the law half of her interest. think it is the right and duty of this court to see that some disinterested person is chosen to represent this minor.” Judge Slack said he would hear argu- ments on this point on April 26. William M. Pierson for the “Good- fellow” will presented a statement on the art of James Angus and Thomas L. Crothers, who are mentioned as executors in both wills. The statement was to the effect that they knew nothingof the Craven will until after it was filed. They had no desire to challenge its authenticity, al- though they had petitioned for probate of the first or stolen will, and they desired it to be understood that in the event of the Craven will’s being adjudged the last tes- tament of the deceased they would consent to act as executors, Their purpose is to occupy a neutral position, so that they may act as executors, no matter what may be the result of the litigation. ‘“Now, if it please the court,” said Mr. Pierson, ‘“‘we areready to proceed with the proof of the will dated September 21, 1894.” This brought Charles H. Wheeler, the champion of the “Craven” will, to his feet. He said that a later writing than that of September 21 had been filed. It was dated on September 24, 1894, and was, he said, the last will of James G. Fair. While it stood, he continued, there was but one will before the court, namely, the holographic will, and it was that which should be admitted to probate. Mr. Pierson quoted from the Code of Civil Procedure to show to the court that his will and his alone should prevail. “Under the fcode,” he said, “‘a will may be proyed upon the testimony of one of the subscribing witnesses. The filing of the vroperly authenticated will of September 21 made it necessary for nnf' one who wished to contest the same to file a contest in_writing. The proponents of the so- called holographic will have not done this, imd zgggr rights, if they ever had any, have apsed. n this position Mr. Pierson was sup- goned by his partner, Mr. Mitchell, and )y Garret McKnerney, the attorney for L'xltlzcntur Goodfellow, named in the first will. Judge Slack said 'thut he wished enlight- enment upon this point, and asked whether it would be more satisfactory to counsel to submit briefs or to be heard orally. Attorney Wheeler thought he would pre- fer to be heard, and the hearing of the petition for the probate of each will was set for Friday next at 2 p. M. “We ask that all rights to object to any of the rulings are still reserved,’” said Rus- date of September 24, 1894, was not written, | We | working with the Mexican Government, and that the Mexican Secretary of the Treasury had ordered the vessel, Bartels and the watchman of the Star of Freedom to La Paz for trial.

He said yesterday that his actions would be guarded mainly by what Captain von Helms of the Williamette Valley reports. Von Helms was instrumental in securing the arrest of Bartels, and he is expected here to-day. STATE HEALTH BOARD. It Makes an Appropriation for the Purchase of Anti- Toxine. The State Board of Health held a meet- ing in the rooms of Dr. C. W. Nutting of Ztna at the Baldwin Hotel yesterday, when quarantine matters in general were discussed. It was the general opinion that a more stringent quarantine law should be adopted, especially regarding smallpox; that every possible effort should be made to prevent this dreaded disease from reach- ing this State, both by land and sea. The State anti-toxine factory came up for consideration. It was thought it would be a long time before the factory would be turning out the anti-toxine, and Dr. Anderson suggested that steps be taken to secure some at once. It was stated that its eifects, so far as tried in_this State, had unquestionably been beneficial, and it bhad passed the experimental stage. It was finally decided to send East and buya quantity of anti-toxine for immediate use and $230 was appropriated for that pur- pose. It will be received in a few weeks, it was reported, and then each member of the board will be given his share for distribu- tion in his particular district. _The anti-toxine factory will be under the direction of the State University, but it was proposed that the State Boan{appaim acommittee to co-operate with the Uni- versity in _the matter. Drs. Winslow Anderson, C. A. Ruggers and Lane were appointed and the board adjourned. HER FAREWELL APPEARANCE. Miss Edna Groves Gives a Well-At- tended Concert. 2 ‘A number of local amateur singers as- sisted Miss Edna Groves, the soprano of the First Presbyterian Church, in her fare- well concert, which was given in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium last night. The hall was filled with enthusiastic friends of the per- formers, and every number was encored. Mlssy Groves sang ‘an air from De Koven’s “Rob Roy,” a lied by Schumann and a florid song by Mazzoni. In the last selection particularly her light, pretty voice was heard to good advantage. Her warm reception showed the popularity of the fair singer, who is giving up her choir position to pursue her studies in Europe. Another ‘of the vocalists, Miss Ruth White, had considerable personal beauty in her favor, as well as an easy platform presence. J. C. Hughes as usual pleased his audience and T. H. Desmond, the tenor, sang Stephen Adams’ “Mona” with an energy that made his com{)lexion rival the hue of the terra-cotta wall paper that formed his background, Mr. Desmond showed himself to be pos- sessed of considerable raw material in the way of voice, but it needs manufacturing. When he moderated his ardor and sang Tosti’s little “Non mi la dite” without such a mighty effort the effect was much more pleasing. Adolph Lada played two cello solos agreeably, and Mrs. Allardyce and Miss White sang a duet by Lassen. ——————— - Remarkable New York Suits Are those of Brokaw Bros. and Rodgers, Peet & Co.

Valley Road Surveyors on the Highway Through San Joaquin. COULIE LABOR NOT WANTED. Californian Mechanics and Labor- ers Will Be Given the Work. Chief Engineer Storey of the San Joaqujp Valley railway reteived a letter from his chief assistant in the field at Stockton yes- terday, informing him that the engineer- ing corps had finished their work in and around Stockton and would move out yes- terday to Collegeville. “Iam informed,” said the engineer yes- terday, ‘‘that the surveying party will strike camp some time to-day near Col- legeville, a distance of nine or ten miles | from Stockton on the Mariposa road, in the direction of the Stanislaus River. Now that they are fairly started in the field they will make from three to five miles a day, and at that rate should reach the Stanislaus River in a week easily. Once they get to the river they will return to Stockton and make a second survey, using the first for a base line, while they decide upon a more feasible way, avoiding houses or obstructions of any kind that can be got around.”” s He was asked about the kind of bridges that will be built over the rivers. “We have practically concluded to use truss bridges, composed of wood and iron and resting upon piers,” said_he. “They are just as strong as steel bridges, which we might.use had we more time at our dis- posal. But steel bridges cannot be made 80 qui as wooden ones to suit our purpose. John Kelso, a_contractor, called on the | engineer regarding the grading and bal- lasting of the line down the valley. He has 300 men at work in different places, and could answer from experience all questions on the subject of labor. A Chinese and a Japanese labor contractor had applied to the engineer to contract for any number of their countrymen for con- struction work. “And what are you going to do about it?” was asked. “That is a matter we have hardly con- sidered yet,” replied Mr. Storey. “We will Jeave that to the contractors.’ ‘““There is no need for Chinese or Japan- ese now on the road,”” Mr. Kelso added. “White labor is plentiful in California, and it is as cheap i?not cheaper in the end than Chinese. You can get all the men vyou need for the work at satisfactory rates, and for my part I would not have a Chi- nese on the work. Two white men can keep up with three average Chinese coo- lies, so where is the difference in expense ? The valley road is the people’s road, and I guess it can be built by the people.” So far as the directors are concerned, they will give Californian mechanics and laborers a chance to make and build every- thing needed in constructing and equip- ping the line. 1f, however, locomotives and other supplies cannot be made here, tflm only alternative will be to buy in the Bast. The directors have been so deeply en- grossed in starting thé road that their at- tention was diverted from subscriptions for some days past, but once the line is safely under the engineers’ control, efforts will be made in the direction of finances. The money that is yet to come in will be 1equired only for further extensions, as for the present there is enough subscribed to meet all expenses for a year to come. Sev- eral of the promoters predict that atthe end of 1895 shares in the valley road will be selling at a premiura. ORGANIZING FOR- SILVER Friends of the Metal Forming a New Party in This State. An Emissary at Work on a List of Men for a Central Com~ mittee. The Silverites, that is, such as have been somewhat reproachfully dubbed ‘“one- issue men,” are actively at work forming a straight, out-and-out silver party in this State. They propose to make the coming here of A.J. Warner, president of the national committee of the ‘“American Bimetallic Party,” Congressman G. C. Sibley of Pennsylvania and Senator W. W. Stewart of Nevada, the occasion for a gen- eral concentration of sympathizers in one distinct movement. These three cham- pions of the white metal, with the addi- tion, perhaps, of Senator John P. Jones, who is now at Santa Monica, are booked for a grand mnss-meetinfg in San Francisco in the near future, and then it is expected the Silverites will_have a most favorable opportunity for effective proselyting. There has already been an emissary here from Los Angeles, where the nucleus for the new silver party has come into ex- istence, whose mission has been to ascer- tain the temper of leading Populists and such members of the Republican and Dem- ocratic ‘parties as might be induced to affiliate with the movement. This gentle- man is Alva Udell, a land attorney of Los Angeles, the ori%lnator of the Washington (D.C.) Political Record. He has performed his task and is now ready to report to the executive committee of the ‘‘Silver League.” His mission has been brought to a speedier termination than he had an- ticipated, for he has been wired to return to Los Angeles before he could make ar- rangements as to date and hall for the silver mass-meeting. The personnel of the Los Angeles com- mittee, under whose instructions Mr. Udell has been acting, can be seen in the follow- ing: Enoch Pepper, chairman of the Pop- ulist County Central Committee of Los Angeles in thelast campaign; ex-Congress- man Lionel A. Sheldon; John R. Berry, who was Collector of the port of San Diego during President Harrison’s administra- tion; ex-United States Senator Cornelius Cole, John Love, John A. Farnsworth, L. Holt, Alva Udell, J. Craig, H. H. Savage, R. W. Drongold, Charles T, Pepper and W. J. Weems. The meetings of the 19th and 23d are for the purpose of making prepara- tions for a big mass-meeting in Los Ange- les on the 25th, at which General Warner and Senator Stewart are to speak.' “The balance of the committee,” Mr. Udell explained yesterday afternoon, “will be made up at the time of the mass-meet- ing in San Francisco. Our purpose is to have a general provisional committee to undertake the preliminaries for a State convention. Our State committee is to consist of three members from each of the fifty-seven counties, and seventy-five mem- bers at large. San Francisco will be rep- resented according to its population. ‘Movements like ours are{eing initiated all over the country. We expect, of course, that a national movement will be developed out of them all, and if the na- tional movement is true to this paramount e money reform we_shall co-operate as a distineti i this State.» vely silver party in Mr. Udell was in conference most of yes- terday afternoon with Thomas V.

Senator Jones, in his letter announcing that he could not act longer with the Republican party in 1894, calls the new issue ‘financial reform.’ Just what the platform will be no one can now state. It will not, I believe, be a single-piank platform. - “So complex is our system of credit that the gold power, the moment it sees the tide for silver or paper, or both, riseto a certain height, will use its last weapon, namely, the withdrawal of money from enterprise and the demanding of the payment in gold of all matured obligations. This will pro- duce almost universal bankruptcy—bank failures and industrial depression. Inthat hour the nation will issue money directly, and it will practically demonetize both gold and silver as money in the same way that they were practically demonetized from 1862 to 1879. “The character of the platform of the reform movement in 1896 will depend upon the events between now and June, 1896.” P. 0. Chilstrom, who was a juc didate on the Populist ticket, said : : ready to co-operate without abandoning any of the principles of the Omaha plat- form, for I believe silver to be the key to thesituation at the presenttime. The West and South must make their stand on that and win, or they are not in it, as the say- ing is.” 3 ; i}x-Assembl man Bretz is a strong sil- verite, as are :{ W. Thompson, S. W. Hol- laday and E. Burt Holladay of this city. These gentlemen will probably be included in the new State Committee. Congress- man Frank G. Newlands of Nevada virtu- ally represents California at present in the National Committee at Washington. It looks as if the silyer movement would completely absorb the Populist pnrgy in this State and be greatly su;;menze by out-spoken silver advocates from other parties. e ——— Gave Good Advice. There is a story of one of the royal grand- sons when an English middy, saying re- rovingly to_his brother, as “God save the Eueen' was being sung, “‘Come! why don’t u sing, “God save your Grandmother?’’ Re fullowini incident, told by an English paper, furnishes a worthy parallel: 1t concerns a well-known Bishop who suffers from impaired vision. He recently held a reception. At length a guest ap- proached and said: “How do you do, my lord? My mother wishes to be kindly remembered to you.” “Ab,” said the Bishop, “that is very gooa of her. And how is the dear old sonl? Nothing like a good old mother! Be sure to take care of your old mother. Good morning.” The Bishop did not know who his vis- itor was, and said to his footman: “Who was that?” “The last person who left your lordship’s reception was the Duke of Connaught.”— Youth's Companion.
