14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1%95. - ANOTHER CVERLAND LINE, The Union Pacific Will Soon Reach the Bay of San Francisco. BREAKING MONOPOLY'S BACK. By Combining With the Donahue Road It Secures a Terminus at Tiburon. Within a very few months another transcontinental railroad, the Union Pacific system, will have a terminal on the bay of San Francisco. This will break a railroad monopoly that has held this City in an iron grip ever since the first ratlroad reached this section of the Pacific Coast. After years of patient efforts and many disappointments the Union Pacific tem has effected an arrangement by which it can reach San Francisco Bay. Tiburon will be its terminal, and an increased ferry service between this City and that point will be one of the benefits to this part of the State. This magnificent stride in railroad achievement will be accomplished by a con- necting link, the Overland Pacific Rail- way, uniting the Union with the San Francisco and North Pacific Railway, com- monly called the Donahue broad-gauge line. Uk T ah to Covelo. he Union Pacifi c line now extends to Corvallis and Yaquina Bay, Or. The connecting road will follow down the coast : the Donahue system. Ttsi entical with those of the *h terminal. In all prob- before another eighteen months pass by this City will be in direct connec- tion with all of the large cities of the East, Northwest and North by the new | line of railroad. For many vears past the Union Pacific has aimed to extend its system from its present terminus in Northwestern Oregon to San Francisco, but without success A short line, poorly equipped and of equally poor service, was run through the mountains from Portiand and Corvallis to Yaquina E The traffic did not warrant making ma improvements upon this line, although the pass through the mountains and the grades are good. This short line is now a part of the Union Pacific system. As long ago as 1888 parties of railroad surveyors were seen in the Coast Range Mountains running lines on the east and west of the range and taking particu- lar note of all the low passes. At last they reached Coos Bay, Oregon, and from there they struck out in an easterly direc- tion through the heavy forests toward Roseburg. A ““tip”’ was given out that a The latteris to extend its line from | new railway would be constructed through | that section, but only a few favored ones had any idea of who was in the project. Among the favored, it believed, are the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company I\vuple, for in that year they surveyed and aid out eighty acres of land in town lots at Empire C Town lots were laid out also in the town of Marshfield, across_the peninsula, ten miles from Empire City. The excitement quieted down until about a year ago, when the coal mines at Coos Bay were sold to a company of local mer- chants. 2 Meanwhile the surveyors were steadily pursuing their way measuring distances and driving stakes along the foothills of the Coast Range Mountains. The next move was made at this end of the route, and it became known that the San Francisco and North Pacific Coast people had decided to extend their road irom Ukiah north to Covelo and tap the coal mines in that part of Mendocino County, about forty miles northeast of Fort Bragg. The coal mines of Round Valley and Eel River are among the rich- est south of Puget Sound, for in that sec- tion is the Flood and Mackay coal mine,so well known to commerce. The only draw- back was the difliculty of getting this fuel to market. The move of the Donahue people into this coal belt was construed generally as an enterprise to open a new field of industry and secure freight and cheaper coal for the road. Only a few insiders knew the real mean- ing of the survey from Ukiah to Round Valley. Outsiders regarded it as a piece of enterprise and spoke encouragingly of the large business Lauling coal, lumber, min- erals, etc., the Donahue road would have from Mendocino County. The real intention: ve at last leaked out and soon the ion Pacific and the Donahue systems will be united by the Overland Pacific. The route of the latter has been laid out, but a careful survey for the roadbed has not been made. Ingen- eral the route will begin at Corvallis, run to Yaquina, thence along the coast touch- ing Coos Bay. From that point it will proceed to Roseburg and extend south on the east side of the mountains and proceed in a southerly direction, recrossing the mountains into Humboldt County, Cal., 1a;ml join the Donahue road in Round Val- ey. Whether it will touch Eureka, Hum- boldt County, is not known, but that thriving little town will not be left out in the cold, for it has a railroad that runs eastward into the country to the coal and gold mines and lumber-mills, and at some point the two roads will be sure to cross. Superintendent G. W. Hunt of the Oregon Construction Company will arrive in this City to-day. He is coming on busi- ness connected with the construction of the railroad that will be extended from Ukiah to Covelo and on north to Yaquina. His first work will be to engage several hundred San Francisco laborers, who will be given employment grading and build- ing the new road. fz is believed that a similar gang will be put to work on the northern end of the route. From all that can be learned these laborers will be set to work atonce on the Donahue extension. In constructing the new road some great feats of engineering will be performed. Tunnels will be cut, iridges thrown across deep gulches and ravines and forests opened. The road will be through a coun- try rich in minerals of all kinas, timber of the best varieties, coal of good guality, and in Oregon, east of the mountains, agricul- tural lands unsurpassed upon the coast. IN MILITARY STATE. Officers of the Boys’ Brigade Banquet Their Presidents. The large dining-room of the Young Men’s Christian Association buildir.g rang with music and laughter Monday evening, tor the officers of the First California Brigade of the Boys’ Brigade of America were banqueting with their lady friends. The room was simply decorated with the national colors, and some big bunches of flowers lent their beauty and fragrance to the dining tables, but the brightest decora- tions of all were the gay uniforms of the officers, the pretty toilets of the ladies and the bappy faces of the 200 or more guests ‘who partook of the feast. The occasion was an affair of hospitality by the officers, civil and military, of the brigade, to M. S. Woodhams, the retirin; State president of the organization, an: Dr. F. K. Ledyard, the newly elected State resident. There were present only the rigade officers and their ladies, and so congenial a party did they make that it has been decided to make it an annual affair. Music was furnished by the Brigade Band of twenty-four pieces, under the leadership of William McBain. o C. J. Smith, president of the local regi- ment, as *toastmaster of the evening, and under his direction appropriate toast: and pretty speeches_helped along the ex- cellent menu served. The toasts were as follows: ‘‘Our Presidents,” proposed by Rev. W. 8. Bovard, president of the Fifth Regiment, and responded to by M. 8. ‘Woodhams and Dr.” F. K. Ledyard; “Our Brigadier-General,” proposed by Major F. S. Cookson, and responded to by General J. H. Russell; “Our Object,” proposed by 1. P. Boynton, and responded to by Rev, H. B. McBride; “Our Flag,” proposed by Captain W. A. Taylor, and responded to by C. O. Burton, president of the first battalion ; “Our Band,” proposed by Colo- nel H. L. Batcheldor, ‘and responded to by Major F. L. Cleves; “Our Ladies,” pro- posed by Major T. A. Kirkpatrick, and re- sponded to by Colonel E.J. Walker; *‘Our | Camp,” proposed by Captain William Mur- ray, and responded to by Captain O, C. Baldwin; “Our Press,” proposed by Cap- tain William M. d olf, and responded to by the toastmaster on behalf of the newspaper men ; ““Our Host,” proposed by Captain W. D. Kingsbury, and responded to by A. P. Chipson, assistant secretary of the Young Men’s Christian Association. WILL NOT CUT ITS RATES The Niagara Insurance Com- pany Rebels Against the Reductions. Home Offices Worried About the Uncertain Situation on This Coast. Tnsurance circles were disturbed yester- day over a rumor to the effect that the Niagara Company would probably with- draw its local office on account of the cut in rates, and would retire, so far as San Francisco was concerned, from the busi- pess. There is'some foundation for the report, for the Niagara has announced to | its San Francisco agent, Rudolph Herold, that it will meet no more of the great cuts which have been made by the com- panies here recently. “The Niagara is not going out of busi- ness here,” said Mr. Herold yesterday. “It will only refuse to meet the big cuts which are being made out here. The office is still open for business, and will still take s at decent figures, but it will not meet some of the nonsensical rate-cutting which some of the companies have been_indulg ing in out here. The Niagara will meet any reasonable cut, but when it comes to one of 75, 80 or 85 per cent, and sometimes even as high as 90 per cent, it will not fol- low. It simply means to take risks at de- cent rates, or take no risks at all.” Among insurance men_this determina- tion on the part of the Niagara is held to mean that its business is suspended until rates have been once more restored, for they reason that, should the Niagara re- fuse to meet the cuts of the other com- anies, it will write no policies at all, at east until rates again rise to a figure it is willing to meet. The attitude of the Niagara Company is but an indication of the feeling of the big insurance companies toward the situation here in San Francisco. More than one home office has_sent practically the same instruction to its San Francisco agency, and the probable result will be that these companies will be quiet until rates go up again once more. Home offices in the East are clamoring for definite information on_ the subject of | Pacilic Coast business, and in order to sat- isfy his own company, that is, the one he was first affiliated with, the Hamburg-Bre- men, Mr. Herold is going back East, if not to~dai, as soon as possible. With him he will bear numerous messages from com- panies friendly to his own_to their home offices outlining the situation and giving suggestions as to the course to be pursued in foture. Mr. Herold’s mission to his own company is a similar one. He will explain the situation as it is, and to much better purpose than is possible by telegram or letter. In the meantime any risk which the Niagara Company may refuse to take may be taken by the Hamburg-Bremen office, which is in the same building, so the retirement of the Niagara is at best but temporary—that is, unless rates remain as they now are. THE INCOME A DECSION It Was Expected by the Local Internal Revenue Of- ficers. Collector Welburn Recelved No Money and Will Soon Close the Business. The news that the income-tax law had been declared unconstitutional was re- ceived here about noon Monday, and it created little comment, as it was generally expected. Those who were directly af- fected by the law were of course pleased, but those who are not rich enough to pay a tax merely said: “Another blunder of the Cleveland administration.” ‘Work in the office of the Cotlector of In- ternal Revenue was at a standstill nearly all day, as the decision was hourly ex- cted. No official news was received by ollector Welburn, but he expects a tele- gram to-day. All the men in the local In- ternal Revenue office were confident that the law would be declared unconstitu- tional, even those who will lose their posi- tione by the decision. Assoon as Collector ‘Welburn receives official notice of the de- cision be will discharge the six men whom he specially employed to attend to income- tax business. It is probable that all the papers from persons and corporations fortunate or un- fortunate enough to have to make out statements of their wealth and income will be shipped to Washington without delay. They will probably be destroyed there, so that all the secrets of the wealthy will go ngrin smoke. here will not be much trouble in this City over the change in the law. Quite a number of people came to Collector Wel- burn the past week and offered to pay their income tax. Collector Welburn re- fused to accept the money, and instructed the deputies in his district to follow his example. Therefore it will take little or no time to clean up all the income-tax business in this district. —_—— et To Recover Money Paid as Taxes. George Staacke and John W. C. Maxwell, executors of the last will of Thomas Bell, have sued the City for $395 70 paid as taxes under protest. The executors claim that the propest taxed was exempt.

Still Facing a Financlal Dilemma and Waiting for the Supreme Court Decision. The City and County Treasurer on Mon- day redeemed $90,000 worth of Dupont- street bonds, and the treasury still contains over $2,000,000 in what Supervisor Benja- min calls “sacred funds”—that is funds to which the money is set aside and from wirich it cannot be lawfully taken for any other purpose. In face of this fact a meeting of the Board of Health was called for yesterday morn- ing to consider ways and means of securing supplies for the Almshouseand City and County Hospital. The meeting was called at the instance of Dr. Titus, superintendent of the hospital,and Mr. Weaver of the Almshouse, both of whom complained that they were in urgent need of some meas- ures of relief. The two superintendents and the Mayor were on hand, but Dr. Reg- ensburger was the only other member of the hoard who put in an appearance. Nothing was accomplished. Dr. Titas declared that he was now borrowing and begging the medicines necessary for the daily use of the hospital, and although he had food enough fora few days the con- tractors were liable to 3uit at any time. The Mayor said he did not believe that they would do so, but the superintendent must do the best he can. The Supreme Court was now considering the question of the right of the City to buy what it needs. Superintendent Weaver said he had bought thirty barrels of flour on hisown resgonsibility, as_the contractor had flatly declined to furnish any more. This was nearly consumed and he could get no more. “‘Feed them on potatoes, then,” gaid the Mayor., “The potato man hasn’t quit, has he? You will have to scratch around and try to tide over this interval.” 7 ‘‘The potato man is still supplying us,” said the superintendent. “‘But let me ask you one question, Mr. Mayor,” said Dr. Regensburger. ‘“‘Suppose these contractors quit furnishing supplies —the meat contractor is threatening to do so—what will we do with the inmates? Will we turn them out?”’ “But [ don’t think they will do so,” said the Mayor doggedly. *“I have no bran and have not had for some time and can’t get any,” said the superintendent. ““Then do without bran,” said the Mayor. Dr. Regensburger announced that Clin- ton Worfien, the wholesale druggist, had volunteered to supply drugs to the County Hospital. The meeting adjourned without taking any action, as no quorum was present. LIFE IMPRISONMENT. Inman Convicted of Having Murdered His Wife, Cora Rice, and the : Penalty Fixed. The jury in the case of Charles Inman, charged with the murder of his wife, known as Cora Rice, a dive actress, yester- day found the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree and fixed his punish- ment at imprisonment for life in the State Prison at San Quentin. Attorney Woodbury for the defendant made a long and ingenious argument for his client. He argued that although it had been shown that Charles Inman had cut his wife’s throat at their residence on Broadway, and afterward rushed down stairs and acknowledged his act, he had committed the crime under the influence of incipient delirium tremens which repre- sented a condition of temporary insanity. ‘Woodbury maintained that there was no motive for the deed, and without a motive Teason was so far absent as to amount to absolute insanity. Bl Assistant District Attorney Black in his closing argument “declared that this imaginative plea and admission of counsel had made his task easier. The fact that Inman had admitted his crime upon going downstairs also proved that he was fully conscious of his actions. After Judge Wallace had charged the jury the members retired for an hour, when the rendered the verdict as stated. The court fully coineided with the verdict and thanked the jury. ———————— Another Warning. .

NON-UNION RATES PREVAIL. Secretary Furuseth Insists That the Organization Will Stand by Its Cause. Rumors were rife along the water front yesterday that the strike of the Sailors’ Union was off. The Beulah and the Two Brothers went to sea in the afternoon and it was stated that their crews in part were made up of union men. Whether this was true or not it was certain that the crews were put aboard these vessels and several more without any trouble. Jobn Cane, assistant, shipping master of the Ship-owners’ Association, said that there was no doubt that the strike was off for the present. ‘‘The boarding-house masters who have been keeping the union men,” said Cane, “have been running over.each other in their efforts to ship their men. The pickets have been withdrawn from the bay and along the water front, and we are free to ship whom we please. The strike is off beyond a doubt, but I am not prepared to say that it1s over. The union has some g:_eme afloat and I think I know what it is, “Some time ago the boarding-house masters came to the Ship-owners’ Associa- tion and asked their assistance in getting their board bills paid. They saig that under the Maguire act they could not hold the men’s kits for their debts, and there- fore couud not afford to board them. They undertook to effect a compromise for $30 a month, but the ship-owners would not con- sent to raise the rate while the strike ‘was on. “The boarding-house masters held a meeting to-day, and after the meeting we were offered union men at the current rate of $25a month. T have it on good author- ity that Andrew Furuseth, secretary of the union, was at the meeting, and that he advised the reduction. He said that the union would give in for the present. This made me suspicious, and I refused to ship all the men who were sent to me. I told the boarding-house masters that we were well supplied, and insteaa of filling up the vessels with union men I only put in a few here and there. “My idea is that the union’s scheme is to get their men on our vessels and try and talk the non-union men over to join- ing the union. For this reason I was care- ful not to put a majority of union sailors on any vessel. The Gatherer has six union men, the Beulah three, Novelty three, Two Brothers five, the North Bend five, and the Glenn is the only vessel which sailed with an entire non-union crew.”’ 2 Secretary Furuseth said last evening that there was no truth in the report that the union had receded in its determination to gain for the coast sailors fair wages for their labor and to see that the shipping laws were enforced. *‘The Ship-owners’ Association,’ said he, “knew that our demands were perfectly just, but they took advantage of the great number of idle seamen along shore and ;I)'nt the wages down to $25 per month. hink of it—less than §1 1or twenty-four hours’ hard labor such asa man must do on a coasting vessel. They also knew that the union desired to break up the crimp- ing business, to see that the sailor got what he earned, but they fought us bitterly and are violating the laws every day. They are paying advance money squeezed from the sailor in bonuses to ranners from $7 50 to $15 for eveg man obtained, thus openly violating the Dingley act of 1886. Men are prevented from leaving the vessels after going on board and are otherwise coerced, their money is taken from them in the form of allotments and other fraudulent ways, all in open and direct violation of the Maguire act. * “‘That they know they are doing so is evident. here men have moved to bring suit for their money the advances and al- lotments paid to crimps have been re- turned to them. However, in one case— that of Sanstand, clerk of the Sailors’ Home, and of Runner Reckoff of the asso- ciation —brought recently before the United States Grand Jury, that body re- fused to indict. Thne Assistant District Attorney gave as a reason that ‘there were too many ship-owners on the jury.’ “The association has stated all the time that they would pay fair wages if the union would stay its hand, so we have come to the conclusion to give them a chance to do so here in this port. So there will be no opposition to the shipping of men here at present. You may say the strike is off, if you choose, but the Coast Seamen’s Union will never cease its efforts to defend the sailor in‘his rights. I am not at liberty to ublish our intentions and reasons, but we Eelieve by the method we have adopted the queTtion will quietly adjust itself satisfac- torily. “The branches of the union in different ports are independent of each other, and our action here in San Francisco will not in the least affect that of other places on the coast where the union rates are being paid. In conclusion, you may say that while a temporary truce is in existence here, the Coast Seamen’s Union is on deck and working for the objects of its organ* ization.” THE POLICE GAZETTES. Frank J. Kane Talks of Literature and of True Art. “I have been too busy with various mat- ters to-day to attend to the Police Gazettes and those other publications,”” said Frank J. Kane, secretary of the Pacific Society for the Suppression of Vice, yesterday, “but I will continue my efforts to pre- vent the display of that class of literature, for it is pernicious and has a bad influence on the juvenile mind. In every instance I, in the most entlemanly manner, requested the store- eepers to remove the offensive papers from the billboards and windows, and it was only in cases where the dealers refused that 1 interfered. “I have read the comments on my ac- tions and one of these refers to what Mr. Comstock did in New York. I do not know what Mr. Comstock’s views are in this matter, but I do know_that the exhi- bition of such gnperu and pictures as I complain of vroduce no good effect on the young people. “One dealer says that a certain book I complained of he would notsell to a youn, irl. Well, that is just the very kind ol 00ks that I want to keep out of "the reach of young girls and boys. I want it under- stood that I am not opposed to that which is classical and to that which is true art, but Iam opposed to that which is a libel on true art. *To-day I have been looking for the per- son who 1s responsible for the placing on the deadwalls pictures used to advertise certain tobacco. They are disgusting. I learned of the party I was looking for and have just sent him a sharp letter calling his attention to the facts.” ————— A Second Trial Productive. In the long-standing case of Fairbanks against the San Francisco and North Pacific Railway Company, & jury in Judge Hunvs court yesterday rendered a verdict for the plain- tiff for $2000. This was an action to recover damages for the burning ot a house caused by a spark from one of the defendant company’s locomotives. A jury in a former trial gave the plaintiff $500 damages, from which he took an appeal and obtained a rehearing. ——————— THEY manipulate paper into every conceiv- able shape; print or bind'it.
