THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1895 5 i SWEDES CELEBRATE: St. John’s Day Is Appropri- ately Honored by Local Societies. TWO FACTIONS IN THE LEAGUE. One Assembles at Harbor View Park and the Other at Metro- politan Temple. St. John’s, or Midsummer's day, as it is v called in Sweden, was appro- tely celebrated by the Swedish popula- tion of San Francisco yesterday. There was only one thing to disturb the pleasure of the occasion, and that was the schism in the ranks of the Swedish Patriotic League, concerning the manner in which the day should be observed. A majority favored holding the exercisesat Harbor View Park, where danci d be indulged in, and an occasional ¢ of beer could be had. The minority held that such things were ’ John's day, claiming that i be observed with song y patriotic speeches. result of this difference of opinion, were two celebrations yesterday— one at Harbor View Park, beginning at 3 o'clock and lasting until the midnight hour, and the other at Metropolitan Tem- Both places were well patronized, so to be presumed that each faction is “contented with the result of sn ideal day for an outdoor and as a consequence several edes were gathered at Harbor when the exercises began. rogramme, View There was not a hitch in the a result due largely to the following com- mittee of arrangements, the members of hich had everything in excellent order, the smallest point: Alexander Olsson, , A. 0.

Over Two Thousand Peoplo Present at the Midsummer Day Festivities. Metropolitan Temple was crowded to the doors last night with a representative as- sembly of Swedes, who came together to celebrate Sweden’s natioral holiday—Mid- summer’s day, it is called in that land of the midnight sun. By 9 o’clock over 2000 people were in the vast hall, and they kept coming until there seemed no place for the proverbial “‘one more.” A month ago there was trouble in the ranks of the Swedish National League over the manner in which Midsummer’s should be celebrated. The result of this was that the ministers and those in sympathy with them withdrew from the 1 e and formed themselves into an ganization called the Swedish-American National Union. How rapidly and suc- y they have worked, and that their tion on the question of celebrating the day with wine and dancing met the hearty approval of hundreds of Swedes, is attested by the immense throng in Metrovolitan Temple last evening. The stage was handsomely decorated with bright flowers and ferns, while a beautiful wreath of flowers, relievea with evergreen, encircled the_entire upper gal- lery. Oneach side of the stage, hanging in graceful folds, were American and vedish flags. On therostrum were seated tev. C. A. Anderson, Rev. A. Sjolander; Gottfred Johnson, the poet; Rev. A. M. Le Veau, Rey. 0. Wahlberg, Consul Henry Lund, Rev. L. Dahigren, Revs. C. W. and L. A. Nelson. The entire pro- gramme was rendered in the Swedish lan- uage, except an address by Rev. E. i‘elander and the song “America.” The first speaker of the evening was Rev. Allfrid Sjolander, pastor of the First Swed- ish Baptist Church of Oakland. Mr. Sjo- lander is well known within his own de- mnomination, having had charge of some of its largest churches. He was for a number of years editor of the Missions Bladet, a Swedish Baptist weekly, published at Minneapolis. After expressing his thanks for the honor of having the privilege of ad- dressing such a large, enthusiasticand rep- resentative assembly, the speaker stated that the object of the meeting was twofold: First, to celebrate the Midsummer even- ing in remembrance of the land of the midnight sun; and second, to unite the Swedish-American people, as far as pos- sible, for mutual aid, and to work for the welfare of their adopted country. He com- pared their love for their native land to a dutiful son’s regard for an aged mother, and their love for America to a noble hus- band’s affection for his bride. He also gave a poetical description of the midnight sun, which he had seen many times in his bo; Music, A. C. Eckman; song, “All the World Praise the Lord”; song, by Mission friends; address, Rev. A.

AMONG THE LABOR UNIONS,. Stonecutters Balloting for General Officers—The Musiclans and Herr Scheel. D Balloting 13 now gomng on in all the unions throughout this country and <anada for the general officers of the Stonecutters’ Association of North America, and last night the local union met at 1159 Mission street and cast its vote for the following: Andrew McElroy of Marble Hill president, Robert Browne of Denver vice-president, and James Lawler of Rochester, N. Y., secretary-treasurer. The headquarters of the general associa- tion are at Washington, D. C., and the resent secretary-treasurer, James F. cHugh, is president of the “Federated Trades there. Nominations for officers of the local union will be made at the next meeting, July 8, and the election will take place two weeks later. The Musicians’ Union will decide to- morrow whether it will withdraw from the National organization or not. Professor Fritz Scheel has proved no end of trouble ever since fourteen of his musicians went back to New York and complained that he had not fulfilled his contract to roperly Teturn them to that city, and besides owed back salaries amounting to abont $1200. The National orlganiution ordered the local union to expel him, but on his repre- sentation that he failed to keep his con- tract slm%ley because his concerts did not prove to the financial successes antici- pated and therefore he had not the money to do so, it decided to obey the order. The %uestim\ now is, will it stand by Seheel and place itself in antagonism toward the National organization, or will it expel a musisian simply because he was financially unable to keep his agreement? The board of directors will meet this ater- noon. Carpenters’ brotherhoods Nos. 483 and 304—the latter German—met last night, and reported great increase of membership. It is expected that before long all the local brotherhoods will be represented in the Lahor Council. BRESSES LAWYER TALKS Attorney Lloyd Says McGlauf- lin’s Partner Protected Himself. A Rumor That Bookkeeper Smith Is Within a Short Distance of This City. It was told on "Change yesterday morn- ing that Smith, McGlaafiin & Co.’s miss- ing bookkeepeg, had been located and could be produced within a few hours’ notice. Smith and Bresse are still absent, how- ever, and the experting of the books has to be carried on without the valuable assist- ance which their presence would be to Re- ceiver Collins and Expert Kirkpatrick. Mr. McGlauflin is seen on ’Change daily, and hisoperations are as extensive as ever. His manner conveys no suggestion of the financial and business inconvenience he must have suffered through the conduct of his late partner. He adheres to the belief that Bresse is accountable for Smith’s dis- appearance, and that the latter’s own vanishment was not without a well-defined cause. The discoveries made by the ex- pert from day to day confirms his sus- picion. Louis Bresse does not appear to be in the least worried by his brother’s con- tinued and unexplained absence, and he persists in the statement that he knows nothing about his movements. Attorney Lloyd, who was consulted by Bresse about the dissolution of the firm of McGlauflin and Co., said yesterday that he did not represent the young man any more than that he had given him some ad- vice, and he has not seen him since. “Idonot think,” he said, ““that Bresse has any cause to absent himself, and I be- lieve he has taken a very unwise course in 8o doing. protected himself, according to what he told me. The $18,09, so he said, was not quite half of the firm’s commissions, and that McGlauflin has more than that. “If that is the true status of the case then Bresse is extremely foolish for keeping his whercabouts a mystery. All that I told him was that when two partners became dissatisfied or suspicious of one another the best thing they could do wasto close up their affairs and to separate as quickly In taking that $18,099 he simply | THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Captain Rees Won, but Was Placed Last for an Al- leged Foul. TWO FAVORITES IN FRONT. Crawford Took a Sprint Race in a Hot Drive From Elsle at Odds of 10 to 1. Spry Lark is the first of the get of Fitzejames to winja race. Charley Quinn backed Norblieh around the ring in the opening race. John Merrill has severed his connection as assistant to Starter Ferguson. Jack Atkins bet $100 on Crawford with Johnny Goleman at odds of 10 to 1. Crawford and Spry Lark were both quoted at 10 to 1 during some stage of the betting. Con Hermann, the Barney Schreiber of San Mateo, made & mild killing on Crawford. Charles Boots has changed the name of the brown brother of Torchbearer from Firebrand to Fireman. Johnny Coleman laid a short price against Captain Rees, and took the Installator money. He had a rather lengthy line after the decis- fon. After the last race, Eddie Jones, who rode Installator, statea that he had no intentfon of claiming a foul against Captain Rees, as the foul was =0 slight that it did not perceptibly retard the progress of his mount. He was called into the stand by the judges. Judging by the aspect of his countenance, Johnny Humphreys evidently thought the life of a horse-owner not a happy one after the fourth race. He kept bunching the price against his horse, Joe Cotton, finally getting it to 34 to 1, and then threw his bundle in. The old sprinter finished fourth. Failings 1n the memory result very bene- ficially at times. Louie Lioyd, the jockey, bet §50 on Elsie of the Burns & Waterhouse string for the vlace in the fourth race, thinking all the while he was backing Zeta of the same stable. He cashed the ticket, and it is in order now to tell hisfriends he thought hera “cinch.” Little McIntyre, who can ride as light as 80 pounds, won his first mount during -the meet- ing on Major Cook. The ladis in the employ of Frank Taylor, and if he heeds the advice of older heads will some day become a good rider. His ride on Major Cook, who is not the easiest horse in the world to ride, would do credit to a more experienced jocke; While at the post in the two-year-old race the colt Valiente had a narrow escape from injury. During some of his frolicsome antics he man- aged to get one of his hind legs in & space in the outside fence caused by the removal of one of the boards. He remained perfectly quiet, and was finally extricated from his dangerous position without injury. It was his hoodoo day, however, for when the flag fell he was al- most left at the post. During his career on the turf Starter Fergu- son has managed to steer clear of green goods men and bunko sharps, but it remained for a San Francisco newsboy to ‘‘do him.” While standing on the steps to the clubhouse balcony after the last race yesterday, Mr. Ferguson pur- chased an evening paper, tendering the boy o Ealf-dollar piece. The boy did not have change, and started toget it from his “pardner,” saying he would be gone but a minute. He musthave had an awful rough time getting that change, for the starter hasnot seen tha color of it yet, and he et the track with the romark, “I'm a sucker if I haven’t been done.” All of, C. Weber’s clever horsemanship and presence of mind went {or naught. Many pounds the better horse, Captain Rees won, but was disqualified for beating the second horse twice. The last event on the card was one that brought about this THE WINNER OF THE DERBY-LORD ROSEBERY’'S SIR VISTO, [Reproduced from the * Hlustrated London News.”] as possible. Bresse, it seems, objected to Mr. McGlauflin’s wife being brought into the matter. When I went to t2lk to Mr. McGlauflin he wanted me to bold the con- ference in the presence of his wife. I told him there was no reason or business in that and therefore declined to have Mrs. McGlauflin made a party to the talk.” McGlauflin claims that Bresse took everything and instead of leaving his (Mc- Glauflin’s) share of the commissions, the $18,099 represented what was due the firm after the counter claim of the Fair trustees was paid. Mr. Rankin, the attorney for L. W. Mec- Glauflin, heard yesterday that Detective Stilwell, employed by Smith’s father, had been discharged from farther service yes- terday, called on the latter and asked him the direct question asto whether he had found the missing bookkeeper. Stilwell was nnable to answer the ques- tion for professional reasons, though what he did say satistied Rankin that Smith’s present whereabouts were known to the satisfaction of the anxious father at least, and that Bresse was not far away from his former employe. When seen late last night Stilwell said he had located Smith. *I have made my final report to_the young man’s father and have received my money. I will add that circumstances may be such in a few days—say two or three days—that I can open my mouth on this matter, and then I will give you some information bearinf on the subject that will be startl- ing. I cannot tell just when I can speak, but I am confident "it will not be far dis- hnt." There will be interesting develop- ments. Maguire and Wise Sentenced. Judge Hawley in the United States District Court yesterday meted out punishment to Francis Maguire and John Wise, two men who pleaded guilty of illegally using the United States mafls for the purpose of advertising “green goods,’’ or counterfeit greenbacks, which they sold to their victims at rates far below the fictitious face value of the paper. On sccount of the men pleading guilty and because he did not consider them the ringleaders in the work Judge Hawley made the sentence lignt. Each of them wiil have to serve eight months in the County Jail and pay a finie of oad decision and caused so much discus- sion. Ina mile purse race, Captain Rees and Installator opened equal choices in the betting at 6 to 3, the former’s price being cut to 9 to 10 at post time, while 7 to 5 was Jaid against Installator. Thornhill and Raindrop were the only other starters. Installator went out in front when Fer- guson sent them away, with Rees at his heels. This order was unchanged until a furlong from home, when the Captain drew up on equal terms with the Boots entry, and gradually forging ahead soon had a lead of two lengths, with Jones rid- ing the second choice hard. Captain Rees is a horse with a decidedly strong penchant for the position next the rail, and forty yards from the wire he bore in suddenly, despite Weber's efforts to keep him straight. This, of course, gave Installator a chance to make up some lost round. In a twinkling Weber pulled ees out, his head almost facing the grand stand, his horse’s body in the in- terim barely touching Installafor. Straight- ening him again almost in a flash, he rode him out and lifted his mount in winner a gg;:;(ii head. Thornhill followed a poor t! X Although no foul was claimed, the Ludg” disqualified Captain Rees, placing im last, giving the race to Installator. The decision was hailed with joy by man: of the small bettors, but was receivea wit! much disfavor by the larger fry. The unfavorable condition of the weather and a cheap card drew a very light crowd to the track, the betting plainly showing the need of stimulus. The erratic Major Cook wasa 7 to 10 favorite over the other four entries in the first race, a five and a half furlong dash, and after swerving badly in the stretch passed O'Bee, who tried to make a run- away race of it, and won easily in 1:08, Talbot Clifton, well backed, finished third. The four n_m‘i a half 1urlonf dash brought out ten maiden two-year-olds. City Girl was first in demand at 14 to 5, with” Fire- man second choice at 7 to 2, Spry Lark backed from 10 to 6 to 1, and Valiente car- ried the most coin of the other starters, The_ heretofore unlucky Spry Lark got awni in front when the flag fell, and main- taining the lead throughout, won by three partsof a length from the first choice, City Girl. Fireman, whohad been running third, finished in that position. Jerome S clearly outclassed the lot op- posed to him in the mile selling race, and although Norblieh was backed to beat him, he came from behind and beat the half brother to Lovdal with consummate ease at the wire, with post odds of 11 to 3 azaiémt him. San Luis Rey was a fair third. The fourth race, a five-and:n-half-lurlong spin with lizht welter-weights up, was supposed to be a good thing for Joe Cot- ton, his partisans sending him to the post a 11to5 favorite, but Crawrord upset all calculations by winning on the wire, a head in front of Elsie, who madea good run from the rear. Myron, who made all the running, finished third. MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY. SaN FRANCISCO, June 24, 1895. 108] . FIRST RACE-Five and a hat fur . longa: selling: three-year-olds and up- ward; purse $250.

HAUNTED GAMBLING PLACES. The Man Who Hung the Paulsell Jury Under Examinatlon for Perjury. Julius Meyer, the jurorin the Paulsell case who hung the jury because of his prejudice against Judge Belcher, was tried before Judge Murphy yesterday afternoon on a charge of perjury. Judge Murphy held court as a committing magistrate. The charge was based upon the theory that in acting in such a manner after swearing to try the case fairly and without bias, Meyer violated the oath which he took when sworn in as a juryman. Oscar Tolle, clerk of Department 11, was called to tell how Meyer was drawn and sworn.. M. J. McGinnis, the stenographer of Judge Belcher’s court, read from his notes of the trial the opening statement made by Mr. Piexotto, the Assistant Dis- trict Attorney, who prosecuted the case, and from the testimony of several of the witnesses—tending to show what kind of a JULIUS MEYER.

A special meeting of the Board of Health has been called for this evening and there | will be two separate Boards of Health present, both willing to do the business of the department. The fight will begin from the rollcall. Dr. Sarah Shuey and Dr. Beckwith, who were deposed at the last meeting, will be present and ask to have their names called. Dr. Akerly, the president of the board, says that he will recognize them as members. Both of these doctors claim that Mayor Davie had no authority to depose them, as it was a matter that could be decided only in the courts. Yesterday the three homeopaths, Drs, Selfridge, Larkey and Bradley, went to Becretary Schaefer and ordered a meeting called, stating as their reasons three thinFs: First, to remove Dr. Mayon as Health Officer and appoint his successor; second, to remove Secretary Schaefer and appoint his successor, and third, to remove Sanitary Inspector Smith and appoint his successor. It has been discovered that Dr. Larkey, one of Mayor Davie’s latest appointees, is ineligible "to hold office under the same ruling that threw out Drs. Beckwith and Mayon. The Great Register of Alameda County shows that he was registered on September 27, 1892, so that he would not be eligible under the electoral qualifica- tion until Segumber 27 of this year. . This is likely to further "complicate matters. § —————— Before His Bridal Tour.

Andy Clunie, Meyer’s attorney, opened the proceedings with an objection to the sufficiency of the complaint, but Judge Murphy ruted that, while not drawn up as carefully and with that exactness which 1s necessary in a criminal information, still for the purposes of a preliminary examin- ation it was sufficient. Another point which Clunie raised was that the clerk had no power under the code to administer an oath to a juror until after a challenge, but the court ruled that custom sanctioned that proceeding and it is so allowable. The remainder of the testimony went to show that Mever was in the habit of fre- uenting gambling-houses, and was, in act, a ‘booster.”” A ‘‘booster,” it was learned from the evidence, is a man who goes into a poker game, plays with the money of the house and is paid for play- ing, the idea being that it will keep up in- terest in the game and never allow matches to bein such a state that a visitor might want to play and should be unable to find an opgonent. 3 ‘W.J. Rustermeyer, at one time pro- prietor of the Thalia Music Hall, testified that Meyer was a “‘booster” in the card- rooms attached to the resort, and that he used to play for a gercemnge of his win- nings, or for a fixed stipend. W. H. Wilder, a racin% man, said he had known Meyer as a habitue of gambling-houses, and Frank J. Feena{{ (a bartender), De- tective Gibson and M. J. Creighton, who ran the Thalia cardrooms for a short time, corroborated this. The people's case was then closed and the defense will commence this morning. BETTER TIMES AHEAD, The Improved Condition of Busi- ness. Evidences that better times are coming are to be seen on all sides, and all lines of business are feeling the revivifying effects of the increasing trade. ““In fact, the ‘better times' are already here,” remarked J.J. O’Brien in a short conversation yesterday afternoon at his mammoth dry goods establishment, and his words were strongly emphasized by the scene of bustle and activity on all sides. “‘During the past two or three weeks the improvement in our business has been very remarkable indeed,"’ said Mr. O’Brien, “and while this is undoubtedly in part due to the great sacrifice clearance sale we are now holding still there is a general livening up of all branches of trade, as I have learned in my intercourse with other business men, and with the present favor- able outlook for all California products there is no reasonable doubt that the coming season will be one of great ac- tivity.' ————— Stoddard and Kipling. Yesterday Joseph D. Strong, artist, re- ceived a letter from Charles Warren Stod- darq, poet, of which the following is a par- agraph: Here I am at Rudyard Kipling’slovely home, having a glorious loaf of a few days with him. This house is the house of heavenly rest, and he is an angelic host. Hope to be back in Wash- ington by the middle of the week, and to start on the Western trip July 1. Mr. Stoddard has been looking forward with great pleasure to a summer vacation in California. Several timesduring the past ten years he planned the trip, but some- thing interposed to defeat his plans. + Last evening Mr. Strong received a mes- sage by wire from the poet, in which it was stated that all g}ms for the journey had been perfected. Mr. Stoddard” will arrive in Ban Francisco Saturday of next week. The first literary work which brought Charles Warren Stoddard’s name to public notice was done in Oakland for a monthly journal conducted by Mr. Strong’s father. ubsequently the poet visited Europe and the Holy Land.
