12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1895. SUNKIN THE PACIFIC, The Colima Founders Between Acapulco and Manzanillo. NINETEEN ARE SAVED. Fourteen Are Passengers and Five Are Members of the Vessel’s Crew. OTEERS MAY BE RESCUED. She Left San Francisco for Panama and Way Ports on the iSth of This Month. Tidings of a marine disaster that may bring sorrow and suffering to many homes City were received from Manzanillo, Mexico, last night. The old steamer Colima of the Pacific Mail Company foundered between Acapulco and Manza- nillo on Monday last. Fourteen passengers and five members of the crew came ashore in one of the steamer’s boats yesterday, and from them it was that the first information of the dis- aster was obtained. It is thought that oth- ers may have been saved and that they have been picked up by a passing vessel or have gone ashore at some other point. The first intimation of the disaster came in the shape of a telegram to Edward Railton, a clerk employed by the com- pany. Itread: Edward Railton, San Francisco—Saved. Wire father. RICHARDSON. Richardson was one of the passengers, and from the telegram it was supposed some wreck had occurred. Later brief dispatches came to I. P. Schwerin and other officers of the com- pany in this city, and the Associated Press began to interrogate its agents in Mexico for news. Meager results rewarded their efforts. The dispatch received by Mr. Schwerin came from Captain Pitts of the steamer San Juan. It was to the effect that the Colima had foundered between Acapulco and Manzanillo while on her way south on May 27. A boat had come ashore in which there were nineteen persons, of whom fourteen were passengers and five were sailors. No names were given. Similardispatches were received by other officers of the company, and at midnight a conference was held at the Occidental Hotel, in the room of Wil- liam H. Avery, ticket clerk of the Pacific Mail. Alexander Center, general agent of tue company, who also received a dispatch telling of the loss of the vessel, said he felt confident that other boats would come in, but if there was any loss of life it would be impossible to give a full list of the dead as on her way down, the vessel had doubt- less picked up other passengers, in addi- tion to those that she took from this City. The officers of the Colima are: Captain John F. Taylor. Chief Officer G. E. Griffiths. Becond Officer George Langhorne, Third Officer O. Hansen. Surgeon, Dr. W. F. Kirby. Purser William Wafer., Freight Clerk T. E. Berry. Storekeeper A. K. Richardson. Chief Engineer John P. Ebbeson. First Assistant Engineer E. D. Reardon. Second Assistant Engineer H. Finley. Third Assistant F. Tommereg. Chief Steward William A. Smith. The crew consists of about sixty men, equallydivided between the deck, purser’s and engineer’s departments. The Colima took from here 121 passen- gers, as follows: Forty cabin, 38 steerage and 43 Chinese. Their names and desti- nations were as follows: Cabin: To New York. C. H. E. Orme. Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

The Chinese were bound as follows: Panama, 9. Mazatlan, 5. San Jose, 6. Santa Cruz, 26. Havana, 2. =The Colima was a single-screw propeller with iron hull. She was built in 1873 at Chester, Pa., by John Roach & Sons, who also built the Colon of the same line. Her tonnage was 2009.64 gross, 2143.85 net; her horse-power 1100 and her speed 113 knots. This was her one hundred and twenty- ninth voyage to Panama. She carried about 2000 tons of cargo. Another steamer of the Pacific Mail line was lost on this coast near Manzanillo. This was the steamer Golden Gate, bound for Panama with a large amount of treasure on board. On the 1st of August, 1862, the vessel was discovered on fire, and it becoming evi- dent that she could not be saved, she, after all her passengers had been at- tended to, was turned shoreward in the hope that she might be grounded and the treasure saved, but flames had gained so much headway that the efforts proved futile, and she burned to the water's edge and sank in many fathoms of water. Part of her treasure was subse- quently recovered by a wrecking company of this City. FFECT ON THE CHISE Decision of the United States Supreme Court Not Satisfactory. Mongols Want the Right to Land Here Without Golng to Law for It. The decision of the Supreme Court re- garding Chinese has caused consternation in the camp of the Celestials. Some of their number can handle the English language with sufficient force to appreciate the import of the opinion rendered and to realize that hereafter they must appeal to law to enter the United States. That the case is serious as far as the Six Companies are concerned is realized from the fact that when Thomas D. Riordan, their attorney, was seen he said: “I have always advised the Six Com- panies that the decision was likely to be adverse upon the ground that the tenor of opinions which have been handed down in the past few years are contrary to their wants.” “What do you think,” was asked, “will be the effect of this decision upon the Chinese merchants now in China?"’ Mr. Riordan replied: “I do not believe that any injurious results will follow. The merchants who are now in China have long ngu filed with the Collector proofs of their identity, and it is not likely that any of them will be denied admission into the country upon their return. The Chinese contend, however, for their fundamental right to the equal protection of the laws and will inyoke all process of law commonly understood to be applicable to all people, whether white, black or copper-coiored. It was this inyasion of their domiciliary right against which they struggled without success. ‘““The only remedy lies in an appeal to the fairness and sense of justice ever up- permost in the minds of the real states- men of the country, and the oppressive character of this legislation will no doubt be corrected by a modification of the law. ‘‘You must understand that this law vesting the collector with plenary power to land or exclude Chinese merchants was passed entirely without consideration by Congress, by making it a rider, hidden in the voluminous mass of the big appropria- tion bill always passed in the closing hours of Congress. " I believe if it had been considered at all, it would not have ap- Yenred upon our statute books, and I be- ieve, furthermore, that it will rapidly dis- appear whenever the time comes to con- sider it. ‘“The Chinese are a law-loving people thoroughly indoctrinated with respect for the institutions of the country where they live, and they will with characteristic resignation submit to the existing law so long as it is in force. ““Of course no law of Congress could at- tempt to abridge the rights of a native- born Chinese to a writ of habeas corpus. “To show gou the unfairness of this legislation and how it may be made an in- strument of oppression, I would say to you that only recently a serious attempt was made in” our Federal courts here to have the court construe this law so that it would also exclude native-born Chinese from the right of petition for habeas corpus. To the honor of Judge Morrow I will say that this unreasonable contention was promptly overruled by him.” The Chinese themseclves do not look upon the subject in the same light. In fact, they consider the action of the Su- preme Court a serious matter, and will discuss the proposition from a Native Son Foint of view at the next meeting of the ocal parlor. The question was also ais- cussed at the night school iu an incidental way last night, but no action was taken regarding any plan of procedure to offset the decision of the court. e FAIR WHEAT NOT SOLD. The Board Much Excited Over a Re- ported Syndicate Deal. The Fair, or as it is more properly known, the ‘‘syndicate wheat,” has not been sold. At least that is what Mr. Bresse of McGlauflin & Co. says, and he is one of the interested parties. The wheat market yesterday was de- cidedly active in the way of offerings, though no very big sales were made. Af the afternoon session a rumor was spread on ’Change that the ‘‘syndicate’’ had at last dumped its 180,000 tons on the market, Balfour, Guthrie & Co. and one or two others equally well known being the pur- chasers, All of this, however, did not affect the gnce of wheat. The market opened at 1053 and closed at §1 0634, the highest De- cember quotation during the day being $107. Only asmall quantity was sold at this price, *‘The Fair wheat has not been sold,” said Mr. Bresse last night. ““It is quite proba- ble that the ‘?anies named, Bafio\m Guth- rie & Co. and others eqmily well known, will be the purchasers, though nothing has been done in that direction as yet.” Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report RoYal povas Fa THE ANGEL ON THE DOME, Mayor Sutro Declares Against the Wells Statue Alto- gether. WOULD REOPEN COMPETITION. Creswell and Broderick Speak Very Freely as to the Mayor’s Art Notlons. It comes in the nature of a liberal edu- cation in art to be present at the meetings of the City Hall Commission during these days when the statue for the dome and the metal in which it should be cast are under discussion. 3 Mayor Sutro has hitherto only hesitated over the metal. The contract calls for white metal, but it was feared that the brave big winds which figure so much in San Francisco would blow the wings off the yound lady and, instead of enabling her to go gracefdlly home to heaven, a thing that wings are supposed to be made for, they would themselves come tumbling heavily to earth, leaving her to stand against the blue sky shorn to her shoulder blades, a monument to many things that the City would prefer to keep secret. The Mayor does not believe the figure belongs in heaven or anywhere in that direction. _ Since receiving the letter from his artist friend, David Neal, all the way from Mu- nich, he has taken a stand against the statue altogether, and at the meetingjyes- terday morning_declared that he was in favor of reopening the vexing question to competition. Bronze, it was said, was the only metal in which the figure should be cast, and he would never vote to put the necessary money into the Wells figure, as it was not good art. ¥ This put both Creswell and Broderick; the two other members of the commission, on their own metal. Both had voted for the Wells figure as against the Gulielmo design, the Mayor's choice. Creswell said that it was the finest thing he had ever seen inart. While it might not suit everybody he thought it much superior to any other figure offered in the competition, and he was entirely satisfied with it and with his own taste. Broderick became personal. He said: “I am afraid, Mr. Sutro, these Gulielmo people are trying to pull your leg.” The Mayor said he could not understand what the Auditor meant. “I mean just what I say,” said Brod- erick. *This man Gulielmo came out here from Italy at the instance of Happers- berger and tried all the arts he knew to zet this contract. He was assisted by some employes of the architect’s office and for months through his friends bullyragged the members of this commission. He is not through yet, it seems, for I notice you have secured the publication of a private letter from another of his friends abusin us for not accepting his design. Now don’t propose to be bulldozed in this way.” ““And if this friend don’t know any more about art than he does about the ad- ministration of this City I think he isan egregious ass,’’ said Cresswell rather hotly for him. ‘I don’t know anything about art,” said the Mayor, “but I will not vote to put any more money in this statue because think it is a monstrosity.” “If you don’t know anything about art,” said Broderick, “why do you undertake to criticize an artist’s work 7’ ““Well, I will never vote to put bronze into that statue,” said the Mnfor dogged- ly. “I would rather pay Wells his price and %et. something of which the City need not always be ashamed.” “But you must keep in mind that there are others in this commission,” said Cres- well. “We don’t much care whether you do or not, as we can settle it without your vote. The statue has been selected, and it only remains to say of what material it may be made. Furthermore, Mr. Mayor,” he said, “I don’t think it was just the thing for you to publish a private letter re- flecting upon the members of this com- mission, of which you are a member.” The Mayor said that in his hufried read- ing of the letter he had not noticed the insulting language, and that he did not intend nn{ discourtesy. Creswell and Broderick declared them- selves in favor of bronze for the statue, but hesitated a little further about adopt- ing it until they knew what the cost 1would be and if it would come within the imit. MRS, CHRISTY'S IDENTITY, Carl von Tiedemann Attempts to Show She Was Mrs. Spencer Owen. Some of the Witnesses Badly Tan- gled Up by the Prose- cution. The defense of Carl von Tiedemann, charged with felony in filing a forged doc- ument for record, was resumed yesterday in Judge Belcher's court. For the first time the identity of Mrs. Spencer Owen as the personator of Mrs. Harriet Ohristy, whose land it was attempted to fraudu- lently transfer, was brought forward to be proved. While a photograph alleged to be that of Mrs. Owen was identified as that of the alleged Mrs. Christg by some witnesses, the latter were somewhat mixed in their statements under cross-examination. After Mrs. Pullen had been recalled and nothing of moment had been elicited in her examination J. Wilkins, bookkeeper for Von Tiedemann, was put on the stand. He testified that he had always known Mrs. Spencer Owen as “Mrs. Christy” or Mrs. Owen indiscriminately, and had been instructed to deliver all notes addressed to Mrs. Christy to Mrs. Owen. He had been cognizant of plots between Carr, W hitcomb, Pratt, Fletcher, Egbert and others to deal in outside lands belonging to unconscious strangers, but had declined to have any- thing to do with them and had been abused for his pains. Von Tiedemann had known nothing about these transactions and had evidently believed the ‘“Mrs. Christy’ affair to be a genuine piece of business. The witness had not informed Von Tiede- mann nor the Eolioe of the nefarious over- tores made to him. The forged deed was recorded on March 6,1894, and on March 1 the witness saw 1s. Owen or Christy sign a‘deed and mortgage in Fletcher’s office. He under- stood she had property near the park, on Lake avenue, which she wished to give to Von Tiedemann to sell for her for $32,000. He afterward, on March 6, saw a deed de- livered by Von Tiedemann to Mrs. Christy and a man named Thayer, whom he de- scrihbed as a small man with a black mus- tache. | Here the Judge, at the Assistant District Attorney’s request, instructed the witness that he might decline to answer any ques- tion when the answer might tend to in- criminate him. - Wilkins told how on the 6th of March some papers were delivered to Thayer and Pratt, who is understood to have been the convict Fidler, and how Tiedemann had accepted a note drawn by Pratt for $1600 at 10 per cent_per month interest for his commission. bert and a stranger were also present at tge meeting. The note was offered in evidence, as well as a letter from Pratt offering $17,000 for certain property in Von Tiedemann’s hands for sale. ‘Wilkins was the principal witness of the (hi John Forney, a bartender, was also to corroborate his testimony, but, 1 under Assistant District Attorney Peix- otto’s piercing questions, became badly tangled up. “He could not understand why he should have been expected to re- port his knowledge of the shady trans- actions of the half-interest gang to the police. 5 “You don’t belong to that kind of people who renort things to the police, do you?” asked Peixotto sarcastically. y Attorney Campbell protested against his witness being insulted, and Peixotto re- marked : “Oh, Ican't insult this witness, canT, Mr. Forney 7" 3 “Ynu’reasmiler," rejoined the witness goor!-humoredly, “and you can’t insult me!” *‘I said 80,” concluded his cross-exam- iner lightly. Judge Bahrs, who had been Von Tiede- mann’s attorney, testified that the latter had surrendered himself under_his_advice and that he did not know whether he had previously fled the City. 2 John Cox, searcher of records, identified the alleged photograph of Mrs. Owen as representing a woman whom he had after- ward been told was Mrs. Christy, and his testimony practically concluded the day’s proceedings.

An Appropriation of $10,000 to Be Asked for Preliminary Data - and Maps. The Half-million Club committee on streets and boulevards held an important meeting yesterday afternoon at which four proposed lines of City boulevards were dis- cussed. They were as follows: Beginning at the north end of Van Ness avenue passing west to the Presidio, thence south along First and Twenty-fourth avenues to the park. Beginningat the park, passing along Seventh avenue past Lake Honda to the county line, From the west end of Market street nlang Corbett road to the Ocean House road an thence the Ocean House. No decision was reached as to what par- ticular route should be fayored as the com- mittee desired to obtain data and figures which might be presented to the Board of Superyisors. There is some expense at- 1ached to the collection of this information and for that reason Mr. Bunker offered a resolution as follows: Resolved, That the committee on streets and boulevards recommends that the Half-million Club send & communication to the Board of Supervisors asking them to appropriate the sum of 10,000 for the purpose of obtaining maps and collecting data for & Hfl!!em of City boulevards conmecting with the proposed boulevard to San Jose. Tlhe resolution was adopted unanim- ously. At the request of J. J. McEwen, who spoke for the bicyclists of this city, the committee adopted the following:. Resolved, That this committee approves the proposed Folsom-street boulevard and ask that the executive committee of the Half-million Club approve the plan for & boulevard on Fol- som street as already outlined and communi- cate such approval to the Board of Supervisors, Several speeches were made concerning the advantages to accrue from a system of boulevards. Mr. Sonntag instanced Euclid avenue of Cleveland, Ohio, as an example of the advertising which a fine boulevard affords its city, and stated that he visited that municipality simply to see that thor- oughfare, —————— IN BOILING TAR.

Interesting Affidavits Shedding Light on a Strange State of Slege. Affidavits of George D. Shadburne, W. J. Herrin, George Hudson, W. H. Crim and Maria Mangan were filed yesterday, throwing some further light on the matter of'the estate of the late Dr. Charles A. James. It will be remembered that after hisdeath one Laura Milen claimed to be his widow by the authority of a contract marriage, and that it is contended that she is in possession’ of the doctor’s house on Howard street. George D. Shadburne is the attorney for the James absent heirs and J. D. Sullivan represents the administrator of the estate. Shadburne says that Dr.James died on January 28, 1895, and that his housekeeper, Miss Maria Mangan, held possession of the house at 925 Howard street from that date until March 25, 1895, when Laura Milen took possession of the private apart- ments of the late doctor. Other six rooms were rented for $45, and that since the Milens’ presence all these tenants ex- cept two have leit. The private apart- ments, he says, would rent at $30 a month, and the whole house if cleaned and re- paired could be rented unfurnished for $60 a month, Shadburne sayshe served on March 22 an order on the administrator to show cause why he should not rent the premises and that on March 25, 'while the adminis- trator was absent, Laura Milen, by the ad- vice of her attorney, W. H. H. Hart, and with the aid of a locksmith, one Rapjohn, took forcible possessich of the private :panmems'ol the deceased, together with il the personal property, papers and effects, and has held the same ever since. Thereaiter Shadburne says he, by consent of the administrator, demanded the re- moval of the trespasser, Laura Milen, but could not obtain the administrator's signa- ture to the necessary order. He declares that the administrator subsequently told him that he had offered Attorney Hart the building at $50 a month, but could not ob- tain any positive assurance that this ar- rangement had been consummated. Shadburne further avers that he thinks Thomas Milen has no means of renting the house and that the real lessee is Attor- ney Hart; that Dr. James was the com- pounder of a valuable medicine, from which he derived a large revenue, the formula of which he kept secret, and that; *‘by reason of the machinations aforesaid,” said Milens and their attorney are in abso- lute possession and control of said prem- ises and all the papers and private effects of the deceaged, and the formula, and are openly reading said medicines greatly to the detriment of said estate and the inter- ests of the heirs. The other affidavits are merely corrober- ative of the state of things as alleged by Attorney Shadburne. KILLED BY A BLOW, An Unknown Man Causes the Death of Charles Koelling. Charles Koelling, who was hit on the head by an unknown man at 941 Folsom street on May 13 last, died yesterday from the effects of his injuries. Koelling was building a brick oven at 941 Folsom _street on May 13, but was interrupted in his work by some hoodlums, whom he drove from the house. One of them waited for bim as he left the house about dark, having fin- ished his work, and as he passed hit him on the head with a_brick. Koelling' was taken to his home at 850 Misgion street, where he lay unconscious until his death yesterday. So far no ar- Tests have been made, nor has any clew to the murderer been developed. TO PUT ON needed flesh, no ‘matter how you’ve lost it, take Dr. ierce’s Golden Medical Discov- ery. It works wonders. By re- storing the normal action of the de- ranged organsand functions, it builds the flesh up to a safe and healthy standard—prompt- 1y, pleasantly and 2 naturally. = The weak, emaciated, thin, pale and puny are made strong, plump, round and rosy. The *‘Discovery” puts on healthy flesh mot the fat of cod liver oil and its filthy compounds. It rouses every organ of the body to activity, purifies, en- riches and vitalizes the blood so that the body feels refreshed and strength- ened. 1If you are too thin, too weak, too nervous, it may be that the food assimilation is at fault. A certain amount of bile is necessary for the re- ception of the fat foods in the blood, and the liver holds back this element unless Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is taken to stimulate the liver and nourish the blood.
