4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 1895 ILLINDIS VS, CALIFORNIA Berkeley Athletes to Meet the Men of the Prairie State. W ILL TRAIN AT CHAMPAIGN. The Match With Michigan Called Off--Would Not Compete With Professionals. CHICAGO, IiL., June 3.—The Califor- nians will not compete with the Univer- sity of Michigan athletes in a dual meet this spring. After the legislation against Leroy and Hall Saturday night Manager | North of the Golden State athletes said that the dual tourney would probably be called off. “I do not know anything as to the merit of the decision, but the fact remains,” he said, “that these men have been called professionals by the Western Intercoi- legiate Association, and we cannot afford to meet professionals.’ Manager North at once negotiated with the managers of the Wisconsin, Jowa and Illinois university teams for the open date of Saturd; June 8. & dual competition has been arranged with the Unive: the Californians leave for Champaign to | put in a week of quiet training in the uni- versity town. According to the agree- ment between Captain Clark and Manager North, ecach team can enter two men in each event. The first place will count five | points and the second two points.

Jack Cattanach Was Simply a Punching Bag for Joe Choynski, BALTIMORE, Mp., June 3.—The long- | herdlded ten-round fight between Joe Choynski of California and Jack Catta- nach of Providence, R. L., proved to be the greatest pugilistic fiasco ever presented to the Baltimore public. The first round demonstrated the fact that Cattanach was simplyan easy mark for Choynski. The second round was a repetition of the first, and a light tap on Cattanach’s neck ended the contest. g To Wheel Against Horses.

SUPPRESSION OF SALODKS A Lively Meeting of the Coun- | cilmen of the City of Oakland. The Charge of the Municipal League Refuted—An Offer to Resign. { Councilmen Mott and Manuel expressed | themselves in no uncertain terms at the meeting of the City Council of Oakland last evening in relation to the recent ut- | terances of the officers of the Council for the Suppression of Saloons. City Attor- | ney Peirsol was called upon to express an opinion as to the legality of an ordinance calling a special election and to decide whether saloons should close from 6 . . Saturday evening until 6 a. x. Menday. Ie said that he did not think such a meas- ure would be valid. Then the question of passing on the | measure closing the saloons. by the an- thority of the Council was brought up, and Councilman Heitman made a motion that the matter be laid over for further consideration. This precipitated a torrent of speeches, in which the officers of the or- ganization for the Sanression of Saloons were roughly handled. Councilman Manuel stated that he had decided to resign from his office if the unjust criticisms on his character as a public officer were not stopped. Councilman Mott opened the ball with a typewritten specch, which was in sub- stance as follows: This is & most important piece of legislation. It goes farther and means more than any measure that has been before this body for some time. It is & sumptuary law, and its adoption means the abridgment of public right. Any measure that restrains the liberty of the people should be referred to them for their decision, for equality is one of the funda- mental principles of our Government and no citizen or body of citizens, or society, has any Tight to insist that the Council passany ordL. nance that would not be sustained by & majority of the citizens. The sentiment of “a vast majority of the people is that it should be -submitted to them to voie upon, and it occurs to all fair-minded men that 'the promoters of this movement should have been the first to have made the suggestion. But instead they are offering all manner of trivial excuses and technicalities with the seeming desire of withholding it from such action. They affect to believe that a large | majority of the people favor such a law, but their actions would indicate that at heart they believed ~otherwise. I felt considerably Aggnevefl and indignant at the method adopted by the leaders of this movement in attempting to force this Council through in- timidation to pess this ordinance. We will not be forced or intimidated. Councilman Mott referred to the state- ment made by Dr. Coyle in regard to the Councilmen selling out to the saloon men, an_«‘lj his voice shook with emotion as he said: 1 desire to contradict the statement and to say that it is absolutely falke and that this Council has been wronged and slandered. 1 know it is false, for I know the honesty and in- tegrity of my fellow members. We have beeu misrepresented by Rey. Mr. Rader, the presi- dent of the Council for the Suppression_of Saloons. He said in an article which appeared in e morning paper he is credited with charg- ing this body with being in league with the saloon men. "This is false. Iexpected to see him deny that interview, but he has not done 50, and I' believe now that he must have used the words credited to him. I desire it to be distinctly understood that I am in no way allied with the saloon men. I never got a vote irom them that know of, and so they cannot my € port. In conclusion T Dubticly i0 say to the Municipal League that I have verbally offered my resignation as member of the Council to the president, and if the league is dissatisfied with my stand on this question they may have my resignation at this or any future time. When officers who try to do their duty are attacked by d)eo le who ought to be their friends, public office Eecomes distasteful and a thing to be shunned by honest men who have any consideration for their characters. Councilman Heitman then renewed his motion to lay the matter over for further consideration. The lobby, which was crowded with friends of both the saloon and Slmdny-clomng elements, was very silent until the chairman announced that the motion to lay on the table had been carried, when the cheers that broke forth were so deafening that President Manuel’s voice counseling order was drowned. The motion was carried by one vote, the mem- bcx‘:y votmiu follovg: es — Bassett, Brosnahan, Heitman Mott, Watkinson and Manuel. 5 Noes—Buckland, Capell, Dow, Marshall and Towle. —————— THE true test of a baking powder is well known to every housekeeper. It is to try itin nnhn_s bread, cake, etc., and we are ‘of the opinion that it will be impossible to remove from the minds of our housewives the conviction long ago formed from the application of this practical test, that the Royal does make the best, the most, and the most wholesome. THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Eddie Jones Had Another Tumble, but Escaped With Slight Injury. FOUR FAVORITES IN FRONT. Old Rinfax, Resurrected From the Ranks of the Cripples, Won Galloping. C. Weber and Chevalier each rode two win- ners yesterday. Fortuna went to the stable quite lame after her race. 014 Rinfax, who was sold under the hammer some time ago for $140 and is & member of the “‘magnificent cripple brigade,” won the open- ing race in true racehorse style. There was much dissatisfaction over the start Merrill gave Rear Guard in the third race, he being almost three lengths in front when the red bunting swished. It is exceedingly doubt- ful, however, whether the result would have been different, even had Morven got away on even terms with Bookmaker Rose’s horse. Nick Hall backed his horse Tar and Tartar beavily, and would heve put & good-sized crimp in the ring had he won. Judging from the mannerin which Tod Sloane was acting at the post he too must have had a ticket on the horse. Those tedious attempts to beat the flag may be very pleastng to the jockey, but with & field of but four horses they grow very tire- some to spectators, and if Starter Merrill would be a little more harsh with the boys he would probably remedy this evil. Every device is resorted to these days by the knowing knights of the block to fleece the un- wary public. The horse Hyman, who but re- cently recovered from an attack of lung fever, wasstarted in the last race, with C. Weber in the saddle. The wily penciler chalked 234 to 1 against him, but the report of his recent ill- Dess was soon noised around the ring and he receded in the betting to 10 to 1 at post time. In the race he showed speed for a furlong, then died away. When fit he is a pretty useful horse; better than he has shown in either of his winning races. Either the card did not catch the fancy of the epicures yesterday, or else the game is getting too hard, for there was a noticeable sparseness of turf followers, both of the male and female persuasion. Certainly the card was not one an old- time devotee of the turf would exult over, for it was made up of a very cheap class of horses from beginning to end. But then taking into consideration the fact that we have had 186 days of continuous racing, the falling off in attendance is not to be wondered at—for there is a limit to the depth of every pocket-book. The only incident to cause a flutter of ex- citement during the afternoon, was an acci- dent in the two-year-old event, that luckily was attended with no more serions conse- quences than a cut head and some severe bruises one of the animals received. Josephine was an 8 to 5 favorite in this articular event, with Walcott a heavily {)acked second choice at twos. The Elkton stable’s Queen was third choice with Eddie Jones up. When the field was sent away Morris on Bell Oak was urging his mount hard in an endeavor to get to the front, and nearing the half pole bore in, throw- ing Queen. Miss Pollard with Enos up, coming directly behind, followed suit. Jones escaped with a cut head and a severe shaking up, and his mount, a daughter of Mariner, her nose broken and legs severely cut. iss Pollard and her rider were uninjureds Walcott, on which Che- valier pulled up slightly when the scram- ble took place, passed Josephine, who was leading in _the streten, and won easily by four lengths.” Billy McCloskey finished third, eight lengths behind the favorite. The opening race of the day,a short six-furlong dash, furnished old Rinfax an opportunity of showing that he yet possesses some of his old-time speed, for, starting equal choice with Crawiford, he led all the way, and won easily by three lengths from his competitor for favoritism odds. Prince was a fair third. Rear Guard, always at home up and down the hills, won_the third event of six furlongs over the inside course, leading from start to finish, going to the posta 1 to 2 favorite. Morven finished second, a length and a balf in front of Inkerman, who ran an excellent race. Intimations of dickey legs and break- downs all had a tendency to cause the odds against Sir Richard, who opened a 1 to 2 chance for the fourth run. to recede to 71010. Fortuna and Tarand Tartar car- ried tne bulk of the money. Notwith- standing these rumors the gray horse won just the same, passing Bernardo, who led into the stretch, and winniug cleverly, a length in front of Tar and Tartar, who b?rely headed Fortuna out for second ace. The last run, over the short six-furlong course, wastaken by the 9to5 favorite, Mt. Air, who got away poorly, running absolutely last down the backstretch. He ran all around his field and won easily at the wire, a length in front of imp. Grand Laay. The poorly ridden Duchess of Mil- pitas was third, a neck away. Road Ruu- ner, backed down from 20 to 1 to 8 to 1, for 2 mild killing, was never dangerous. MULHOLLAND, SUMMARY.

The commencement exercises of the Normal School were held in the audi- torium of the Girls’ High School last even- ing. The interest of the large audience was pretty equally divided between the eighty-three girl graduates and their part of the programme and. the dignified pass- age-at-arms between Charles A, Murdock, member of the Board of Education, and Deputy City Superintendent Babcock, the bone of contention between the two gentlemen being the standard of the City teachers. Hon. John E. Richards gave a half-hour address on “The Utility of Culture to a | State,” in which he reviewed the history of education in ancient Greece. Passing to the present, he edlogized the educational system of Massachusetts and set a high ideal in that respect for California. Miss Aimee Hirstel read an essay on “The Influence of Forests on Civilization,” Miss Gertrude Brown dealt with “Loyalty of Character.” Miss Julia Coffey, who read an essay on “The Coming Teacher,’’ was introduced by Principal Yoder as ‘“‘the coming teacher’” and was greeted with enthusiastic applause by the class. Miss Kate Donovan was then introduced as the Z?l{ng lady whose actual standing was ighest in theclass, and she received her due share of applause. The Erogramme was enlivened by some good chorus work by the class and several selections by a violin sextet, composed of Misses Blanche Rouleau, Helen Leving- ston, Edna Cadwalader, Celia Lewison, Lizzie Hoffman and Kitty Miles, with Miss May Lanigan as accompanist. Both bodies of musicians were encored. C. A. Murdock made a ten-minute ad- dresson ‘“Teachingas a Profession.” Speak- ing in behalf of the Board of Education, of whom Messrs. Stone, McElroy, Comte and Henderson occupied seats on the plat- form, he congratulated the graduates upon what he had heard and seen. He expressed his personal pleasure in the suec- cess of the exercises and then proceeded to his theme of the profession of teaching. He st?'led it “the newly ini- tiated profession” and said it was no longer merely a vocation. ‘Ithasno need to bow its head,” said he “before any pro- fession.” He spoke of the precious and plastic material with which teachers have to deal, and doubted whether the aggrega- tion of ministers does more good than teachers may do. To-love the truth and do the right should be the aims of educa- tion. *The time of the untrained teacher is going by,” he said. Speaking finally of the schools of San Francisco, he said it should be the pride of her citizens to make them at least the equals of any in the United States. While thereareearnest and faithful teachers in the City there is an element that is not progressive. Miss Anthony had never said a truer word than when addressing the teachers she re- marked that the teacher whose chief con- cern was drawing her salary was not fit to teach. The Board of Education believed this, yet its hands were tied. It isas hard to find an incompetent teacher asitisa legislator who has accepted a bribe. He favored the abolishment of the Normal School rather than it should continue with a low standard. ‘When Deputy Superintendent Babcock, representing Superintendent Moulder, who was not able to be present, took his place to perform the office of presentin the diplomas he said he desired to speak for one not present, the. San ran- cisco teacher. "He had never in the course of a quite extended ex- erience known ‘a more intelligent, igh-minded, faithful, magnanimous, cultured body of workers than the teach- ers of San Francisco.

BIG BRIBES ARE ALLEGED, Mr. Nevills Says He Was Of- fered $200,000 to Cheat His Partners. SENSATIONAL MINING SUIT. N. F.Cleary Wanted More Time on a Million Dollars’ Worth of Mining Deeds. Papers were filed yesterday in what promises to become one of the most sensa- tional cases in the history of mining Hitiga- tion. It is the suit of N. F. Cleary against W. A. Nevills, W. H. Martin and John Ballard to restrain the defendants from withdrawing mining deeds valued at over $1,000,000 from the option that the plain- tiff claims to have secured on them until July 1. . In the answer to the comvlaint very seri- ous charges of bribery are made against Cleary. Mr. Nevills alleges that Cleary offered him $200,000 to defraud his partners, Messrs. Martin and Ballard, in the ap- roaching deal and that Attorney Samuel XI‘ Shortridge was_also approached with offers of pribery to induce him to mfluenge his client, Mr. Neyills, to play into Cleary’s "% a tt and mining N. F. Cleary is an attorney man, who is associated with' Hugh McDon- nell, a mining man, Charles A. Hamilton, a surveyor, and Charles W. Fielding of the great New York, London and Chicago firm of Saunders, Fielding & Bond. His com- laint alleges that in February last he and Eis associates obtained from the defend- ants an option on the entire capital stock of the Guild Gold Mining Company, ag- Tegating 100,000 shares, for $1,000,000. All Euc 5000 of these shares were deposited with Wells-Fargo in escrow, pending the pay- ment of the purchase money. Then ensued expert examinations of the mining property represenlmg'the shares. Experfs were sent to the Rawhide mines in Tuolumne County, and also to the Hitch- cock and Hislop mines, and to the property of the Tuolumne County Water Company. Nevills suggested that the entire s}'openy should be purchased by the syndicate of English capitalists that Cleary represented, and to this end he secured an option onthe water company’s property for $100,000 for the syndicate. Cleary was so well satisfied with” the result of the inspection that he agreed to purchase the whole thing for 55305,000, and to clinch the bargain, deeds were deposited at the bank to be held open until June 1 of ihis year. Clenf‘y nd his associates then com- menced negotiations with the English capitalists for the saleof the entire prop- erties. Alfred H. Curtis, a mining expert, was sent out from London to make a re- port on the properties. His report was favorable. The time for the consumma- tion of the ‘'sale was drawing near, while the lengthy negotiations necessitated by the bLig deal made the promoters fear it lainly then that he should get no further le)xtensyion of time on the bond, and that his_dealings with me had been known to both him and Mr. Martin from the very first. We will have no further dealings with Mr. Cleary.” MR. BUDD IN SISKIYOU. The Governor Is at Klamath Hot Springs, and Board of Health Appointments Will Await His Return. E. D. McCabe, the Governor's private secretary, arrived in this City last evening from Red Bluff, where he had accompanied Mr. Budd on his way to Klamath Hot Springs in Siskiyou, near the Oregon bor- der, where he has gone to seek relief from the rheumatism in his right hand, whm}: has IMtely been keeping him from his desk, and was the cause of postponing the projected trip to the Yosemite. The Governor left Sacramanto on Sun- day evening, and will be gone for a week ormore. The long expected appointment of members of the Board of Health 'vym not be made until after his return. The Governor was to have been at the meeting of the Board of Harbor Commissioners yesterday to sign the lease of China basin tothe San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad. I\Ir.yMcCabe said that he supposed that the lease would probably be sent up for the signature if necessary. 3 “While the rheumatism in the Gover- nor’s hand had decreased considerably,” said Mr. McCabe last evenmng, ‘‘yet he found that he would be unable to t: the intended stage ride to Yosemite without running a risk of getting worse and in- capacitating himself for work for some time to come. He contemplates staying at the springs a week at least, and perhaps longer. The appointment of the members for the Board of Health will not be made before his return. I think that he will be ready by that time to select from the can- didates presented the ones he will name, and that the appointments will be made immediately after his return.” could not be put through i time. Cleary alleges that he secured from Nevillsan ex- tension of time till July 1 for the first payment of $50,000, and that on August 1 the sum of $§1,150,000 should be paid. This was a verbal agreement, which Nevills afterward repented, and left the Cit; to avoid signing a contract that woul bind him to this arrangement. The defendants are owners of the Guild Gold Mining Compani', shares aggregating $1,000,000 in value. It is their answer to Mr. Cleary’s complaint that gives the sen- sational features to thé case, the title of which is Cleary vs, the Guild Mining Com- pany. In the answer Mr. Nevills alleges that theplaintiff offered him a bribe, and this allegdtion is fully corroboratéd by both his partners, who were secret wit- nesses at the several interviews between Cleary and Nevillsin which the offers of bribery were made. The answer says that Attorney Shortridge of the firm of Delmas & Shortridge was first offered a_bribe of $5000, and that this was afterward increased t0 $10,000 in order to have him influence his clients to extend the time on the Raw- hide mine deeds. _ ‘When interviewed concerning the suit yesterday, Mr. Nevills first expressed sur- prise that the papers had become public property so soon, for the young man who DR, LEVINGSTON 15 MAD. He Claims That the Civic Federation Has Grossly Libeled Him. Will Cause Warrants to Issue for Dr. Dille, Truman, Gaden and Dexter. Dr. Marc Levingston is hot on the trail of the leading officials of the Civic Federa- tion. They also are camping somewhat on the spoor of the doctor. Each swears— though the federation really doesn’t swear —it will get the other, and some very in- teresting, not to say horrifying, details may shortly be expected, as they say in the society weeklies. It's all about the very pointed thingsa committee of the Civic Federation said to Governor Budd about Dr. Levingston. | That committee was composed of I. J. Truman, president of ‘the federation, and Rey. Dr. E. R. Dille, George T. Gaden and D. Gilbert Dexter. They forwarded to his Excellency two memorials against the appointment of Dr. Levingston to the San Frandisco Health Board, both of which were printed. To the first of these Dr. Levingston made a public reply. When the second appeared he resolved on a sterner response, and in in pursuance of this resolve was closeted with his attorneys, Reel B. Terry and Lansing Mizner, for a full five hours yes- terday. This morning, as a result of their labors, Dr. Levingston will swear to war- rants in one of the Police courts charging Messrs. Truman, Dille, Gaden and Dexter with criminal libel. “And that isonly the starter,” said Dr. Levingston %t 11 o’clock last night; “there’s more coming, and it will be de- cidedly interesting. I propose to show these "people a few things, and think I shall succeed before I have done with them. The warrants will be issued to- morrow morning, I suppose, from some one of the Police courts, and the matter will then start from there. The present complaint is based on the charges made by served the papers coming from the office of Attorneys %earson & Mitchell had as- sured him that there was no danger of the story leaking out, because the Recorder with whom the papers had been filed had been “fixed” to keep them away from the newspapers. E “Itold him at the time,” said Mr. Ne- vills, “that I was sorry for that, because I thonght the details of the case would be likely to make interesting reading even to the general public. % “There is a long story back of all this,” continued Mr. Nevills. " “As owners of the Rawhide mine we were approached by Mr. Cleary some months ago with a proposi- tion to permit him to sell the property abroad. Upon the statements he made of his relations with Charles W. Fielding, who had just conciuded the sale of the Iron Mountain mine in Shasta County, and who represented wealthy people in London, my partners and myself con- cluded to let him have a bond on the prop- erty. This bond expired on the 31st of last month. ‘“‘Mr. Cleary at once began to grow confi- dential with me, and his_conversations led up to a proposition to take me in on the sale for a share of the commission. Iim- mediately told Mr. Ballard and Mr. Martin of what had transpired, and at the next interview that took place between Mr. Cleary and myself both my partners were secreted behind the screen, where they could hear all that was said without being seen. “Mr. Cleary first suggested $150,000 as my share of the proceeds. I a; peared to consent to the base bargain, and the docu- mentary evidence was made out, showing that this amount was to be pajd me for Tobbing the men who had been my busi- ness associates for years. *‘Then Cleary, McDonald and Fielding left for New York, the latter being on his way to London. Friends wrote to me from the East declaring that Cleary was making statements that he had Nevilis just where he wanted him, and_could land me in the penitentiary unless I toed the line. “When Cleary got back to the City the time for the "expiration of the {onfl was drawing near. Then it was that he began to put the screws on me and make me ‘toe the line, as he had said. He wanted more time, and when I seemed to hesitate on that score he grew ugly and darkly hinted at the future in store for me. I pleaded that he was not giving me enough. Then at another interview, when both my partners were again present be- hind the screen, Mr. Cleary agreed to raise the price of my rascality to $200,000. I in- sisted that he should cable to this effect to Fielding in London, and he did so. I went with him to the telefirsph and secured a copy of the message. It read: Owners ee to give bond one month, Jul: 1, $50, Ow'glilrfeit,‘iextend 1st August. Hlvz 30‘?“1 10 give Nevills & commission of § «“ n due time an answer came from Field- ing, who agreed to the terms. But still I did not sign the a ent extending the bond, and then Cleary took another tack. I understand that he went to our attorney, Shortridge, and without stating his reasons offered that gentleman $5000 to be present at an interview with me wherein, after Cleary had sprung his trap on me, Mr, Shortridge was to advise me to agree to all of Cleary’s demands in order to avoid ex- POCOF conrse Mr. Shortrid indi; “Of cor P idge indignantly Sniwing ISt GLg.o! the sort without .

Truman, Dille, Dexter and Gaden in their first communication to the Gov- ernor. What other steps I may take I am not as yet sreyned to state.” Early yesterday afternoon the gentlemen who will be wanted under the warrants to be asked for to-day were aware that some move was to be made against them. It did not seem to disturb their equanimity to any appreciable extent, however, and they went about their ordinary business with unwrinkled fronts. None of them had had any premonitions that they would spend any time behind the cruel bars, and seemed not to dread such a cruel fate might even be in store for them. “No,” said Mr. Truman, when asked concerning the matter. “I have not been arrested and do not fear arrest. There is nothing in particular to say about the matter that 1 know of. I do not know Dr. Levingston, and never have met him that I know of, and were he not up for an office in San Francisco the Civic Federation would not have interfered with him. Everything in the charges presented to the Governor is and has been public property, mostly contained in the newspapers. “In regard to the Fair matter, that in- formation came to the federation through Mr. Wright of N. Gray & Co., the under- takers, and was publicly told to Mr. Gavin McNab and Charles Wexley Reed. ‘“Lastly, the Civic Fedération does not consider Dr. Marc Lefingston a fit man for the important position of Health Officer of -San Francisco.” Dr. Dille’s remarks apropos of the rumor were in the same general vein as those of Mr, Truman. ‘‘As far as Dr. Levingston is concerned,” he said, “I have notthe least thing against him personally. In fact, I do not know him and have ‘never met him. There’s no personality in the matter. Notking but principle.]y “‘The Civic Federation would never have taken a hand in the matter had not Dr. Leyingston been put forward for an ap- g‘omtment on the Health Board of San rancisco. Then a committee from the federation represented tothe Governor that it did not think Dr. Levingston was the man for the place. The Governor asked for something more specific, and we told him the specification.

THE GUADALUPE FAIR, The Opening Night Well At tended and a Brilliant Success. The Large Hall Thronged With the Eiite of Spanish So- ciety. The grand fair in aid of the Church Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe opened last evening in the hall of the church on Broadway, near Mason street. 2 From 7 o’clock until the midnight hour the hall was the scene of life and gayety, in which the sweet voice of the flower- the seductive appeal of the icecrc maiden were to be heard above all thir else, while the silvery tone of the p« office miss as she announced the arriva a letter for some Jovesick swain or ba Spanish miss was also occasionally !
