THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1895 THE GARBAGE FRANCHISE, It Is Hotly Discussed Before the Board of Super- visors. A VERY VALUABLE MONOPOLY. Some of the Inventors of Fenders to Have a Chance in a Prac~ tical Test. The Board of Supervisors held a session Iast night for the purpose of considering the long-vending garbage franchise. pervisor Taylor called the board to order and Supervisor Benjamin, on motion of Supervisor Sprec took the chair to preside over the committee of the whole. There were two bidders only for the building of a crematory and handling the City’s garbage. Henry J. Lang offered to build a crematory with a capacity of 200 a day, to cost $125,000. He will give $1000 for the franchise and agrees to do the work of cremating the bage at 20 cents a cubic yard. He will build the crematory in twenty months from the day of securing the franchise. The other bidder was A.

At the Close of the Fall Season it wWill Be Disposed Of by Lot. by An exhibition was opened yesterday at the Art Institute w active as it oubtless prove to the general public, es an especial attraction for the themsely It consists of thirty-seven pictures, which cover an entire panel in the large hall. There are landscapes in oils and water- colors, marines, figures, Chinese subjects, still-life and flowers. Among them are a dainty bit of stream and marsh in water- colors by Hugo Fischer and a wooded valley in water-colors by W. Keith. Miss Lou Wall has a characteristic figure-paint- ing and Mrs. Alice Chittenden a telling group of flowers. Most of the pictures are well framed, but the few which are as they left the easel will be framed in the course of the next few days. The entire collection is to be distributed among the members of the Art Association by lot at the close of the autumn exhi- bition. It has been the custom for a num- ber of years to allow the artists to pay their dues to the association in pictures, at the wre of an examining committee, <e business it is to pronounce upon the values of the works of art submitted. Several years are necessary, however, to accumulate to make up an exhibition. The collection opened yesterday has been accumulating since 18 "There are 530 members of the institute, and on the opening day of the fall exhi- bition each member who attends will be yresented with a ticket entitling him or {n'r to a chance in the art lottery. Those who absent themselves throughout the en- tire.exnibition will forfeit their chances. but the holders of tickets will have the pictures raffled among them on the closing day of the fall exhibition.

The Governor Has Set July 15 for the Atlanta Exhibit Conven- 3 tion. ‘Secretary Filchier of the State Board of Trade yesterday received word from f}ov- ernor Budd that the County Supervisors Convention will be called to meet in the Chamber of Commerce on July 15. The purpose of the convention is to raise funds for a fine California exhibit at the Atlanta Exoosition. The Supervisors’ headquar- Su- | nchise in the hands of a private indi- | | | should do so. ters will be in the Russ House. The rail- roads have reduced their fare to half rate for the delegates, . This is the first time a Governor has ever issued a call for a convention of county Su?ervisors for anf purpose. Under the State law the Supervisors may np{)ropriace sums that will equal §61,500, but it is not likely that such anamount will be required for the purposes specified. In all probability the Mayor and Board of Supervisors of San Francisce will send a committee to meet the visiting county Supervisors. e S RICHMOND DISTRICT. The Improvement Club in Favor of Many Changes. At a meeting of the Richmond District Improvement Association last night it was decided to appeal to the Supervisors to have Washington street extended from its presert terminus at First avenue through to Seventh avenue, as all other outlets to the park are now occupied by the Market- street Railway Company; and if this peti- tion is acted upon, an outlet will then be available to any competing street railway which may desire to reach the park, The attention of ‘the Superintendent of Streets is to be called to the impassable condition of Fourth, Sixth and Twenty- fourth avenues and to violations of the or- dinance compelling property-owners to bulkhead their lots. A petition will be forwarded to the Su- ervisors requesting that Seventh and R enty-fourthavenies be regraded from California to D streets. C. H. Hubbs reported that additional protection was to be given the district. REVENUE AGENT CHANGES, Ambrose C. McGlachlin Has Been Succeeded by B. L. Cromwell. The Former Will Take Charge of the Revenue Agent’s Office In Boston. Major A. C. McGlachlin, United States Internal Revenue Agent, has been trans- ferred from the California circuit to Bos- ton, and will leave for his new station in a week. His place will be filled by B. L. Cromwell of Cintinnati, who arrived in this City yesterday morning. ‘‘There is no signiticance in the change,” said he. “‘Quite a number of changes have Ambrose C. McGlachlin. [From a photograph.] been made, and as Major McGlachlin wanted to get back East he was ordered to Boston to fill the vacancy caused by the agent there being moved to Mississippi.”’ Major McGlachlin is well known in San Francisco and is very popular with the en- tire Internal Revenue force and the mer- cantile community. He was here as reve- nue agent under the former Democratic administration. He has been a most Lmnq ng officer, and his departure will e very much regrotted. “I am sorry to leave California,” said he, “but glad to get back East. All my life- long friends and relatives are there. An- other thing, my wife is eager to return for the same reason like the Eastern weather, however, as she has got used to Californian climate. I would only have been here to the end of the administration.” NEW ELECTION BOARD. Mayor Sutro Wants Some Answers to Questions Before He Will Name Its Members. Mayor Sutro has about made up his mind as to the names of the men he will select to serve on the Board of Election Commissioners, but before definitely tendering the honor he has written them for answers to five important questions. The first is as to their views on the general primary law and as to whether they would actupon it as binding until the Supreme Court declares it unconstitutional, 1f it The second touches the ame points as to the election law. ,The tnird requires them to promise to give all the time necessary to efficiently carry out the provisions of the law and se- cure an honest count of ballots. The fourth asks if the candidate is op- posed at ali times to_the appropriation of public school funds for sectarian purposes. The fifth inquires if he is opposed to the i sition of corporations in the politics Gty ! actory answers are required these questions. e A WHITE CHINATOWN WIFE. What the Hospital Patients Thought of Hedwig Lee. About three years ago Hedwig Brossak, a pretty and educated white girl, surprised San Francisco by marrying Ngui Lee, a Chinese cook. Mrs. Lee retired into the privacy of Chinatown, and every one pre- dicted that her life would henceforth be a burden to her. The young woman, however, still re- tains her infatuation for Ngui. She lives in two little rooms at the top of a big tene- ment-house on Washington' street, and it would be impossible to swing the proverbial cat in any part of the Lee abode. The sun pours in ali day through the closed blinds and the little rooms reach a tropical tem- perature, but they are an oasis of neatness and cleanliness in the midst of Chinatown, und Hedwig says that she is very, very happy. Two weeks ago a little daughter was born to her in the City and County Hos- ital, and the mother and child very soon ecame the side show of the ward. Se- cretly the mother rejoiced that it had blue eves and blonde hair like her own people, but she would not own that to the &mniems except in moments of confidence. 'he most curious inquirer, however, could not elicit a murn.ur from her about her way of life in Chinatown. She has gone back there now, and the patients are still wondering whether Hedwig is really very happy or whether she is too proud to own that she made a mistaki —_— Handling Dried Fruits. The best method of handling dried fruits will be discussed at the meeting of the Horticul- tural Society Friday. Colonel Philo Hersey, who is s0 weil known as & leader in'the Santa Clara County Fruit Exchange, will address the society on the propriety and importance of properly grading fruits for the market, along the lineé of what exrerlence and necessity have taught him. F. M. Righter of the Campbell Fruit Association has been invited to present to his views, in the form of suggestions, on hand- ling the dried-frnit product. A. W. Porter of Porter Bros. & Co., will have & paper on the outlook for dried fruit in 1895. 1 don’t think she will | | | | i MUSICIANS IN DISCORD, Scheel Is Suspended by the Local Union and De- clares War. HIS FRIENDS TO WITHDRAW. An Actlon for $100,000 Damages Threatened Agalnst the Na- tional League. Herr Fritz Scheel will probably prove to be a cause of no end of trouble and contro- versy now. He was suspended by the Musicians’ Union yesterday afternoon and he has the contract to supply music for the Mechanics’ Fair. Putting the two things together, the consequence of friction be- tween the Mechanics’ Fair and the labor organizations of the City can be easily in- ferred. The union had a pretty warm meeting, which lasted from 1:30 p. M. until after 4 o’clock. Professor Scheel himself was present part of the time and endeavored in German to present his side of the quarrel with the National League from his point of view. Nathan Landsberger acted as his interpreter, besides strongly advocating him, but Louis N. Ritzau made the hard- est fight for him. Altogether, forty-five men stood by bim, and when the vote was taken on the question of obeying the Na- tional League and suspending Scheel it stood 164 to 45. His chief opponent was Alfred Ronco- vieri. A mere victory over Professor Scheel was not enough for Mr. Roncovieri. He was desirous of having impressed upon the minds of Herr Scbeer’s forty-five sup- porters that if they withdrew from the union and followed an antagonistic course by playing with him the special law of the ational ieague would be enforced, mak- ing it cost any one of them $100 to get back. The usual fee is only $21. The union pledged itself to enforce this rule by a formal motion. Notwithstanding this, Al Marks, Pro- fessor Scheel’s manager, says tae forty-five supporters of Scheel will withdraw from the union. There is no other.course for them to pursue, he contends, for they cannot play with Scheel and at the same time remain members of the union with- out making themselves liable to suspen- sion or expulsion. According to Secretary E. E. Schmirtz of the union the local organization could not do otherwise than it did. Secretary Jacob Beck of the National League has threat- ened it with disciplining measures if it adhered to its original position of refusing to suspend Scheel. Had the union then attempted to act consistently, the National League would have suspended or expelled it, and the very first organization of musicians that got together in San Francisco could have affiliated with the National League by complying with its initiatory require- ments, That would have made the present union a “‘scab’’ organization. “There is no unfriendly feeling toward Mr. Scheel,” remarked Mr. Schmitz. *It hat we are compelled for very ervation to take this step.”” He explained further: Had Mr. Scheel glven a bond that he would pay within a certain specified time the amount said to be due the members of the York Union, whom he sent back home on second-class fare, provided the claims were legally adjudged against him, we might have deferred aetion. it is, here is the action of the executive board stating that it finds the claims, amount- ing to $1132, just ones, and demanding Mr. Scheel’s suspension until they are paid. Now, Mr. Scheel contends that his contract with Manager Stephany of the Vienna Prater did not call for first-class fare both ways. His separate contracts with the men themselves do, however, _although the wording is “either”” way. Our construction of the word “either”” mukes it mean both ways. The men cumglnm that they were sent back o New York without sleeping accommodatious or money to buy food with. There is only one member of our own union who has any griev- ance ugainst Scheel. This is Will Bates, the solo cornetist. He naturally insists upon hay- ing his first-class fare to New York being given to him, whether he returns the Mr. Scheel will find that his arrangements with the Mechanics’ Institute will not be alto- gether harmonious. Director Doolan is op- posed to him, and F. K. Tobin, the trombone soloist, who has always been paid $45, has not accepted Scheel’s terms. Besides Mr. Tobin there are others that I know of. The minimum union price for an ordin- ary musician is $25 per week, and double for the leader. A! Marks, Scheel’s man- ager, said, after the decision of the union had been taken, that Professor Scheel's contract price with the Mechanics’ Insti- tute is $1000 higher than was the highest bid submitted. He and Professor Scheel were very much excited over the action of the union, and Mr. Scheel somewhat impetuously threat- ened to bring suit agamst the National League for damages, and mentioned $100,- 000 as the probable amount. He also threatened to sue the local union because it had suspended him after reporting to the National League that his explanations as to unpaid back salaries and unprovided first-class return fares had been satisfac- tory. But that is not all. Scheel and his man- ager have declared war all along the line, and while exulting over their contract with the Mechanics’ Institute, vow they will take all of Scheel’s forty-five or more adherents and play in the parade of the Faourth of July. ~ Said Mr. Marks: Professor Scheel has now determined to re- main in San Francisco. We have contracts to keep us for two years, and he will at once tele- graph his family at Hemburg to come here. 1 am going before the Fourth of July commit- tee to arrange to furnish fortyfive or fifty musicians to play in the parade in our new uniforms, the Roccocos, with solid silver trim- mings. What is more, we will pay higher than union prices to all our musicians. Mr. Scheel is an attraction, and can_command higher figures; therelore, he can afford to pay better prices to his men. So far as the Mechanics’' Institute is con- cerned it does not care whether Mr. Scheel’s musicians are union men or not. This whole fight has been brought on by Roncovieri. He failed to get the contract and because of that he has tried this method to down us. In the midst of all this trouble we have secured the contract for the music of the doe- tors’ closing exercises at the Baldwin, on July 13, through Dr. D’Ancona. Herr Scheel vented himself on the union by saying that it was only the inferior mu- sicians that bad voted against bim. “All the good ones voted for me,” he said, “and first-class musicians are the only ones 1 will employ. I will pay higher prices than the union prices. }‘mtend to bring an action for $100,000 damages against the National League, and I will sue the local union for its inconsistent action.” The committee on music of the Me- chanics’ Institute—Messrs. A. S. Hallidie, Ferdinand Formals and Rodney Kendrick —is now arranging for a special acoustic chell at the pavilion for Scheel. Mr. For- mals was inclined to believe yesterday afternoon that Roncovieri was particularly responsible for the fight in the union on Scheel. He related the history of the coniract, saying: Roncovieri came in first with a bid of about $5300. There seemed to be a desire atthat time to rush it through, but the committee thinking that.all the musicians had not been given a fair chance, the secretary was in. structed to communicate with them per- sonally. Mr. Doolan wes very eager to see the contract given to Native Sons musicians. Sub- sequently Mr. Ritzau was given the contract, and then I was accused of favoring a German at the expense of musicians born in_ the State. This award was reconsidered and the contract finally awarded to Professor Scheel. The only thing thatI insisted nupon was the institute to pay union wages—this as & matier of good policy. To that we all agreed. Then all we had t6 look to was to secure the best talent for the money. We think this has been done by engaging Mr. eel. The contract price with Mr. Scheel is not $6000, nor is it $5000. Estimating $25 per week for each of thirty-two men for flve weeks with something extra for the thirty-third, Mr. Scheel, you can pretty nearly figure it out for yourself. I will not say, however, that itis ihat amount and no more. Roncovieri was willing to "’“{ for us without any compensa- tion for himself. The Musicians’ Union decided, after the Scheel matter was disposed of, to let any of its members play in the Fourth of Jul! parade provided they get $8, notwithstand- ing there may be non-union men in line. There are three military bands of twenty- five members each and, besides, a number of bands belonging to societies. As all the members belong to \the union the action was, therefore, thought advisable. It does not, however, permit members to play in the same band with non-union men. This is taken as another blow at Herr Scheel. THIRTY-FIVE NEW LAWYERS. List of Those Applicants Passed by the Supreme Court.

The San Francisco Weather Bureau has an interesting record of the month of July compiled from the data of the past twenty- four years. Ivis of interest as indicating what may be expected during the coming month. The mean or normal temperature for July for more than twenty years has been 59 deg. The warmest month was that of 1885, when the average temperature was 62 deg.; the coldest in 1894, when the average was 56 deg. The highest temperature was 93 deg. on the 15th of the month in 1888; the lowest, 47 deg. on the 31st, 1893. Other data give the average date on which the first killing frost occurred in autumn, November 20; in spring, March 8. As to rain during the mounth of July for the time stated, the average was .02 of an inche; the average number of days with .01 of an inch or more, 1; the greatest monthly precipitation, 23 inches in 1886; in 1871, 1874, 1875, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1892 and 1893 there was the least precipitation, which is indicated on the records by a cipher, the greatest amount recorded in any twenty-four consecutive hours was 23 inches on July 16, 1886, The average num- ber of clear days was 11, partly cloudy days 15, cloudy days 5.

WILL G0 TO SANTA CRUZ Extenslve Arrangerhents Are Being Made to Receive Them at That City. The reunion and outing of thé Pacific Coast Commercial Travelers’ Association, to take place at S8anta Cruz from June 29 to July 3, promises to be one of the most successful and enjoyable of any yet given by this enterprising body of young men. We all know them, these pioneers. They come along with their brisk, jovial manner and convincing business talk and before we can hardly say ‘““Jack Robinson’” they have sold us 50 per cent more goods than we believe we want and haven’t had time to think the matter over before along comes another of the craft and sellsus more of the same class of goods. And yet the goods sell and when they show ap again on the next trip we are glad to see them and hear the latest story and re- order supplies. They is nothing so indica- tive of good times as plenty of commercial men, and California has a goodly share that augus well for the prosperity that is at our doors. An attractive programme has been ar- ranged, consisting of processions, ad- dresses, responses, chowder and clam bake, barbecue, grand ball, surf-bathing, etc., and Billy Barrett, Bob Davis, Sam Thornton, Dolph Baldemann, Aleck Weil, Sig. Heller, Billy Bernheimn and the reat of the committeemen have been very busy Eg:iting affairs into shape so that every- y will have a good time and no one be disappointed. The association, which was incorporated in 1889, is in a most prosperous condition, haying on its rolls at present some 400 members. It isa beneficiary as well asa social .organization, paying weekly bene- fits to unfortunate members as well as death claims. It numbers among its members some of the most prominent and substantial mer- chant ex-travelers who have acauired a competency or an ‘“interest in the busi- ness” and have settled down, and it isan undoubted fact that the knowledge and in- sight into human nature and commerce acquired on theroad is of inestimable value to one in business and is frequently the keynote of success. [he celebration held at San Jose in 1893 was a success and everybody will remem- ber their outing or *‘day” at the Midwinter Fair grounds last year with their enthu- siasm and successful and amusing proces- sion. Some of the members that assisted in draping the Gold Guich Hotel float that was supposed to represent a famous hostelry on the southern mine trip through old Tuolumne and Mariposa, claim that their familiarity with this inn and the peculiar cuisine of this locality ought to entitle them to the position of chief carver at the barbecue, and it is rumored that eral have been surrepti- tiously patronizing leading “‘two-fer” res- taurants on the south side to get into carving trim. It will, undoubtedly, be the business outing of the year, most of the wholesale firms having volunteered their goodwill and assistance in every way. The lady acquaintances of the travelers are all on the qui vive over invitations, and as it is generally conceded that the commercial man’s judgment on beauty is fully as great as his gusiness tact it is more than probable that Santa Cruz, with its lovely young women, will have to look to its laurels at the big ball that Mayor Effey and hi: committee of Santa Cruz business men are getting up in honor of the occasion. Apropos of the celebration at the fair grounds last year, some of the members, at a recent gathering, recalted the amusing incidents caused by the tagging arrange- ment where each gentleman wore a tag, and the duplicates were distributed among the ladies. Some wags saw that a few Japanese ladies and gumgirls had certain tags, and the resulting situations were very droll. It isnot probable that tagging will be popular this year. Sacramento and Los Angeles, as well as Portland, will be represented, and the visiting representatives of Eastern firms have signified their intention of knockin, off work and getting a taste of genuine ol§ California hospitality, such as the bear- | flag State in general, and the Santa Cruzites in particular, are famous for ex- tending to visiting strangers. Nothing like a clambake and chowder party for the Eastern man—genuine old-fashioned bake, plenty of shells, wet groceries, good cheer and et ceteras. All the handsome decorations of the water carnival are being kept in place, and added to, so that it will be a very beauti- fully draped city that will greet the rust- lers for trade and prosperity when their special train pulls up at the depot. The water has been kept in the dam upon which the aquatic maneuvers took place that were such features of the recent festival. It is proposed to keep open house, and a dramaticand literary entertainment s to be given by the association, which numbers amohg its members some of the best ama- teur talent on the coast. Invitations have been extended to Governor Budd, Mayors Sutro and Davie, General A. W. Barrett, Charles M. Shortridge and others. A special train has been engaged which will leave the broad-gauge de‘mt at Third and Townsend streets at 1 o'clock P. ., Saturday, the 20th inst. The tickets read good for return by either broad or narrow- gauge up to July 3 inclusive and by special arrangement are good until July 6. The complete programme as now ar- ranged is as follows: Saturday, 20th—Procession from depot under escort of Mayor, Council and committee of bus- iness men. Address by Mayor Effey. Response by President Barrett. Promenade concert at Beach Pavilion. * Sunday, 30th—Trip to Big Trees and bulls- head barbecue. Reiurn to Santa Cruz and driv- ing and aquatic sports. Monday, 1st—Chowder and clambake on beach. Grand ball in evening. Tuesday, 2d—Yacht, bicycle and running races for valuable prizes. Reception and en- tertainment in the even A great story-tc]linF match that has been proposed will probably not be the least in- teresting feature. ‘Warm letters of welcome have been re- ceived from prominent citizens, and, taking it all in all, it would seem as if the com- mercial traveiers are going to havea pretty good time. BIDDING FOR PATRONAGE. The Manufacturers’ Association Com- municates With School Officials and Other Public Officers. Secretary L. R.
