14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1895. HARMONY REIGHS IN THE SUFFRAGE CAMPS. The Hostile Wings No Longer War With Each Other. OLIVE BRANCH OFFERED. | Two Annual Meetings of One State Assoclation Held Yesterday. ONE ADJOURNED SPEEDILY. The Other Adopted a New Constitu- tion and Elected a Full Quota of Officers. The woman suffragists of California are no longer divided among themselves. ‘When the sun rose yestgrday they were gathered in two cam other as the; e been for a year. When the orblof day had made its half round. of earth and dropped into the western ocean the olive branch had been extended and received, and where the house had been separated nothing but harmony prevailed, and-a united front was presented to march onward a, the obnoxious word “‘male” in the constitution. For the year past, two organizations, each claiming to be the original and oniy California State Woman’s Suffrage Educa- tional Association, have 1d aloof from each. other.. The one was comiposed ' of Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn and her fol- Jowers and the other was under the leader- ship of Mrs. Laura de Force Gordon. The split from the parent organization came justa year in a disagreement over representati ) s, and up till yes- terday noon but few had any hope that the breach would be healed. It came unex- pected, as most things that happen are said to be, but it was none the I come, and in consequence thereof all suf- fragists are rejoicing. The organization headed by Mrs. Laura de Force Gordon met early in the morn- ing and after but a few moments delibera- tion decided .to ourn until September. The reason as: ed for this was that, in the desire for peace in suffrage circles, it was thought best to await the action of the convention presided over by Mrs. Blinn, so that in the event thata d ticket was elected the Gordon fsrees could join in in- o it, and all could join hands once \der a common leadership. In the aterncon the convention of which Mrs. Blinn was president was called promptly to order, and ere it had finished its labors had elected the following officers, | upon whom it thought the “Gordon followers can bestow their unanimous votes at the September election: M A. Sargent, San Francisco, president. Mrs. General Bidwell, Chico, first vice- president. Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn, San Fran- ci and Mrs. John Spalding of Los An- second and third vice-pre Mrs. George Oulton, San responding secretary Mrs. Hester A. Harland, San Francisco, recording secretary. Mrs. Knox Goodrich, treasurer. Mrs. John F. ft of San Francisco and Mrs. Sarah Baldwin of Oakland, auditors.

It gives.me great pleasure to yresent these to one who has gained the hearts of the whole people of the Pacific Coast.” There was almost deafening applause as Miss Shaw received the box into her hands | and held up -the pretty piece of patriotic regalia for the general inspection. I thought Miss Shaw told you,” said Miss Anthony, laughing, as soon as the n})plu"w had somewhat subsided, ‘“‘that she came out here tc hold my bonnet, It rather looks to me now as if Icame out here to hiold her bonnet.” “I don’t think that would have been said,” replied Mrs. Cooper, “if Miss An- thony could. ha heard the nice things the committee had said about her.” ““Madam, bearer of messages,” said Miss Shaw, withdrawing her face from the sweet-smelling blossoms, “I really do not now what i something _beautiful, or- Mrs. Cooper i would not have been the bearer.of it, as | she never could bear anything but that which is nice and good and_for the benefit of the person to whom it is.borne. So I flr‘ccsfl this very beautiful thing which the gentlemen have gotten up.

On one occasion he said his friends seemed to think that it was as easy for him to make a speech as it was to get water out of the town pump; they simply had to lift up the handle an ? not know what you want me to say, but I do.want-to say this to the friends of the -‘State Suffrage Association, that you have & most complicated consti- tution under whieh to work, and I am in hopes that the call for this meeting, part of which provided for the amendment of the constitution, will result in- the making of one which will be in harmony with the | constitution of the National association.”” - Miss Anthony then went on’ to give a brief “outline of the organization of the National Suffrage Association and at the ‘conclusion of her talk was asked by Mrs. Eliza Tupper Wi what was the position of the State organization toward the cam- paign amendment committee formed after the adjournment of the woman'’s coneress. +] am not. prepared to answer that,” said Miss Anthony, “but I do hope that as hostile 1o each | s wel- | Francisco, cor- | .

Quite a number of suits have been trans- | ferred from the Superior to the United States Circuit Court during the past few days. Among them is one from the Supe- rior Court of Humboldt County entitled Henry Rohner Jr.vs. the Western Union Telegraph Company. According to_the complaint the defendant has fastened up its poles between Fortuna and McDonalds , Ferry with guys, contrary to law. While Rohner was driving some cattle between the points mentioned one of them got away and in chasing it the horse ran into the guy and the plaintiff was thrown to the ground, breaking several of -his ribs and his shoulder-blade. He asks for $15,000 damages. The case of Peter Conaty vs. Captain P. ANNA H. & TAW. NELLIE HOLBROOK BLI SARAH B. COOPER. PROMINENT SPEAKERS AT THE WOMAN’S SUFFRAGE CONVENTION. SUSAN B.

Shortly after the Republican convention was held. and through the efforts of the State Asso- ciation, for the first time in the history of that party in this State, a plank was incorporated in the platform pledging it to the cause of woman suftiage. A like effort wes mado with the Democratic party at their convention, but it was unsuccessful. At the session of the Legislature held at Sac- ramento last winter your president wes elected to represent the association before that body in an effort to secure the passage of a bill granting suffrage to women. During se | weeks of the session it was my pleasant duty | to work unceasingly for this obj In this | effort, able assistance was rendered by several members of other organizations. The bill was introduced, and vote of 48 t0 23. It went to the Senste, Wwhere the Committee on Judiciary pronounced it un- constitutional. Nevertheless it was brought | up, out of regular order, through the strenuous | efforts of our loyal friend and champion, one of the grandest orators of California, Frank McGowan of Humboldt, and was defeated by abare majority. Efforts were then directed toward the amendment, and in this, success crowned our efforts, and this amendment will come before the people at the general election in Novem- ber, 1896, to decide whether or no they be- lieve in equal rights to ell, and are willing to prove this by their ballots, and not until the same rights are extended to all, irrespective of sex, will this land of ours be truly free. | There have been dark days when it scemed | almost as though we could not breast the waves that threatened to engulf us; thenaray of light would illuminate our pathway, such asa letter from Fresno telling us that a little | band of brave women had decided to become suxiliary to the State association and were do- | ing all in their power to influence public opin- | |ion In that town in favor of the enfranchise- | ment of women.

We all feel that there is a great and important work to do in unison with the campaign committee and we have made up our minds to continue the work begun and carried on by our predecessors; and think I represent the suffragists of Cali- fornia when I say that we will go on try- ing to obtain justice for ourselves, in spite of all difficulties and discouragements. If we do not reach the heights of victory we know our successors will and, at last, our opponents will surrender, and even ask our pardon for having so long deprived us of our political rights.” Bailoting then proceeded without. inter- ruption, and upon the announcement of the last vote, upon motion of Mrs. Chand- ler, a vote of thanks was tendered tc Miss Anthony for the able manner in which she had conducted the election. CONVENTION AFTERMATH. | | | | | Addresses In the Evening by Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw. The aftermath of the Woman’s conven- tion last night was attended by an audience composed principally of women, who filled the main floor and the gallery | of Golden Gate Hall long before 8 o’clock. | The coming of Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw, accompanied by Mrs. Nellie Hol- | brook Blinn, Mrs. Kate Gregery, Mrs. Hester A. Harland, Mrs. A. A. Sargent and Mrs. Emily Pitts Stevens, was greeted by generous applause. Mrs. Blinn introduced Mrs. Sargent, the new president of the association, whoin turn presented Miss Anthony, who ad- dressed the audience. 5 She declared that instead of Miss Shaw having the task of holding the bonnet while she did the speakingin California she was holding Miss Shaw’s bonnet. She said further: I am going to talk about business. AsIlook back I feel that the time spent in California has come more nearlymaking a revolunon upon this subject of woman suffrage than for any like period in the past. You have now a State soclety, which is part of the National society. During the coming vear itis expected that every county will be organized. The great work "this year is the education of public sentiment, to get every | town interested, the preachers and politicians talking and the editors writing about it. To educate the voters—the men, so that when this part is done we may hope that the sentiment will be so strong that the political conventions will demand resolutions indorsing the woman's suffrage amendment. 1f the amendment is carried, it will be be- cause the political conventions and news- papers take it up and aid you. The rank and tile of voters read only political papers and at- tend only political meetings, SO you must secure the aid of the newspapers and the con- ventions of 1896. Mrs. Blinn then introduced Rev. Anna Shaw, who was received with a vigorous round of applause. % Miss Shaw told a number of stories and related some amusing incidents that were well received by the audience. Conclud- ing she said: Icould hold Miss Anthony’s bonnet easily, but where is the woman of us who could find the head to fit it? We have talked suffrage fore and aft, and met objections over and over. We, as Ameri- can people, are afraid to trust each other. It is marvelous how little, the men know of what this world 'is doing. The women made Colorado Republicau. Wyoming has never been Democratic since the women have voted.

The Supervisors WIill Be Requested to Look Into Complaints Against Derelict City Contractors. The Civic Federation having terminated its engagement with Dr. Levingston will now deal with the Street Department. President Truman is authority for the an- nouncement, and President Truman says he looks forward to a warm ana interesting experience. He has even considered the possibility of the new agitation coming to a pleasant end in the courts. The history of the unpleasantness be- tween Superintendent Ashworth and Ex- vert Gaden is too recent to require a re- capitulation. George T. Gaden isa prom- inent member of the federation, and the proposition of the federation to back him in his fight against what he considers the errors and negligence of the Street Depart- ment is significant. “The case of Dr. Levingston,” said Presi- dent Truman yesterday, with a smile, “is finished, and we have decided to turn our attention to the wretched condition of the streets and sidewalks of the City that have been overated upon by criminally careless contractors. “We shall claim that the street work—or most of it—is not being done according to specifications, and'we shall claim nothing and allege nothing which we are not able to prove by facts and figures. “Mr. Gaden is at work upon this part of the agitation. He 18 compiling volum- inous data to show how the Street Depart- ment is mismanaging its affairs, and he will prepare an exhibit of the streets and sidewalks to bear out every charge he makes. “This report will be read at the next meeting of the federation by Mr. Gaden. A copy of the report will be sent to the Supervisors, together with a letter from the federation on the subject. “Qur_ position is that some one is to blame for the bad street work that is being done—some one in the Street Department who shonld see that all work conformed to specifications before accepting it. Our aim will be to find out who this ‘some one’ is. “But the Supervisors may save us all that trouble by investigating the matter themselves. If they do not take the matter up in earnest we shall, and if necessary we shall be as aggressive as we were in the case of the late Dr. Levingston.” President Truman has rot yet set a date for the meeting of the federation at which the Street Department will come up for discussion, preferring to wait until Mr. Gaden has finished his end of the work. b fos Not According to Sample. J.Solomon and L. Arrow were arrested yes- terday by Constables Pitts and Sweeney of Antioch and lodged in the City Prison. The complaining witness in the case is D. Williams, who states that the defendants sold him a pair of trousers for $9, and when he received them they were not the same as sold, but of inferior quality. The charge against the defendants is obtaining money by false pretenses,and they will be taken to Antioch for trial. —————————— The California Fireworks Co., 219 Front st., are retailing assorted cases home made fireworks specially selected for family use- ———————— SIERRA note paper, 5 cents per quire; Golden West and Del Monte note, 10 cents per quire; letter size, 20 cents per quire; in quarter-ream packages, note size 35 cents and letter size 75 cents.

BRESSE 15 IN OAKLAND. He Was Seen There by Two Reputable Citizens Mon~ day Night. PASSED IN A GREAT HURRY. His Hat Was Over His Eyes and He Carried a Bundle Under His Arm. Eugene A. Bresse is in East Oakland. His brother, Louis Bresse, one of the Fair trustees, claims to know nothing of his brother’s whereabouts, and when seen vesterday afternoon said he was as ignor- ant concerning his brother’s movements as was the inquirer. Bresse, the younger, of the firm of L. W. McGlauflin & Co., whose disappearance nearly three weeks ago, after the some- what sensational dissolution of the firm, has been involved in considerable mystery, was seen the night before last in East Oakland by two persons who know him well. J. Ralieu, who lives in East Oakland, saw the missing young broker on - Thir- teenth avenue Monday night, between the hours of 9:30 and 10 o’clock. He was walking up the avenue from the railway station. Mr. Ralieu obtained a goed look of his face as he passed under a gas lamp. The same night J. Gacabus saw Bresse at a few minutes after 9 o’clock on East Twelfth street with a long package under his arm resembling a bundle of washing. He wore a stiff hat, pulled well down over his forehead, and was walking. briskly. He also carried a cane. A egentleman of this Cily, whose busi- ness makes him diffident about having his name mentioned in connection with the affair, also met Bresse onthe street in East Oakland Monday night. Bresse and the gentleman referred to are well acquainted, but the former was not inclined to stop and renew the acquaintanceship. Four evenings ago the young broker was seen in William Kent's resort on Twelfth street, Oakland, at a late hour. He was alone. Mr. McGlauflin says he has heard noth- ing from his absent partner and that he has no hope of learning anything concerning his whereabouts for some time to come. ‘When called upon yesterday afternoon he stated that the experts were still at work on the books, and that the end of theinves- tigation seemed as far off as ever. Nothing new had been discovered that caused any change in his original opinion concerning the mutilation of the books and the sup- posed conduct of his partner as already published. Mr. Collins had nothing further to add. Louis Bresse was seen at the office of the Fair trustees and gave forth the informa- tion that the McGlauflin experts bad fin- ished with the Fair books and memoranda and found no discrepancies. Their expert- ing was completed last Friday and since then he had heard no word concerning their conclusions. As to his brother’s movements he said: “I really cannot tell you a thing. People think I am not tell- ing the truth when I say I do notknow where Eugene is. But why should I? -He never consulted me in business matters and he certainly would not come and inform me that = he intended to go away and where he was going. It is probable he is taking arest some- where and wishes to avoid being bothered to death by newspaper men. He is hisown master and I do not believe he has any reason to absent himself except his own personal inclinations.” With the indubitable proof at hand, however, it is certain the young brother is in East Oakland and does not stir out of the house until the shades of eventide have fallen Jow. TOUR OF INSPECTION. Government Commissioners Who Have Visited the National Soldiers’ Homes. The Congressional Board of Inspection of various National Soldiers’ Homes throughout the country arrived in this City from: Santa Monica yesterday and are at the Palace Hotel. There are five members of the board in the party consisting of Gen- eral W. B. Franklin of Hartford, Conn., who_is the president, Colonel George W. Steele of Marion, Indiana, General M. T. McMahon, who is the secretary of the commission, from New York, General C. M. Anderson of Greenville, Ohio, and S. G. Cook of Herrington, Kansas. George Swaetzer of Indiana accompanies the party as the guest of Colonel Steele. Acting under their official instructions the members of the board have visited all the National homes for the support of Uncle Sam’s needy veterans between the National capital and this coast. Kach of the five homes was visited and thoroughly inspected and investigated as to the man- agement of affairs and the condition of the inmates. The commissioners will not go to Yount- ville nor to the homes in Oregon or Wash- ington. The inspection of these institu- tions will be left to Colonel E. F. Brown, the Inspector-General of National Homes. Colonel Brown was with the party until it arrived at Santa Monica. He remained there and will not leave for several days yet. ““We left Dayton, Ohio, on the 15th of June,” said General Franklin yesterday, “and from there went to Marion, Ind., where we inspected the soldiers’ home lo- cated at that place. Then we went on to Milwaukee, where there is another home, and to Leavenworth, Kans. From the Jat- ter place we went clean through to Santa Monica. I mustsay that we had a most delightful trip in every way. We were very much pleased with the manner in which the several National soldiers’ homes are being conducted. Notonly did we find no friction among the officiais in charge, but the inmates spoke highly of their (reat- ment, which, as you know, is*not always the case. ‘‘Certainly there will be many recom- mendations for improvements made in our report, but they will be as regard minor matters. and not touching upon the discipline or management_of the institu- tion. For instance we will recommend the placing of an ice-making plant in the Santa Monica home, which will be a sav- ing of considerable money. *‘No, we_will not go to Yountville, be- cause it is notour business to inspect homes which receive support from the States in which they are located. We will make no recommendation for any improve- ments which will require any large appro- riations. We will leave here for the ast to-morrow after meeting Adjutant- General Barrett of the National Guard, who is a member of our board. He will accompany Colonel Brown to Yountville.” ———— 2 A Family Jar.

OLYMPIC CLUB AFFAIRS. A Little Trouble That Is Brewing Be- tween the Boxing and the Social Elements. The Olympic Club will hold an election for officers in the first week of September, and already the boys are discussing the | presidency and who of the members are the most available for the higher office. The names of William Greer Harrison and Herman Oelrichs have been mentioned, but it can_ be safely said that neither of those gentlemen will accept. Mr. Harrison d yesterday that although deeply in- erested in the welfare and success of the club he could not entertain even the idea oi accepting a nomination. “The president of a_ club such as the Olympic,” id Mr. - Harrison, ‘“must necessarily give his entire time and atten- tion to it—that is, if he hopes to achieve a success. As far as I am personally con- cerned I cannot afford time from business and you may surmise what that means. 1 had a long. talk with Oelrichs before his departure from this City and he said that in case he should make San Francisco his future home he would be only too pleased to accept the nomina- tion. =] think he would make an excellent Tresident for the Olympic Club, as he is very much infatuated with amateur ath- Jetics and takes much interest in the wel- fare of the club.” According to rumors there are now two factions in the club, which disagree on al- most every point at issae. There is what is termed the boxing element and the so- cial element.. The former seemsto be in the ascendency and the leaders contend that if boxing is to be done away with the club will surely lose a large membership. Those who favor the social side of the ques- tion contend that the supporters of fisti- cuffs have become sonumerous of late that their presence in the club is displeasing to many of the old members, who have for- merly taken much pleasure in being pres- ent on “ladies’ night” with their families. The advocates of boxing are by no means pleased at what they term the underhand attempt that is being- made by certain members to kill the manly art in the club and, according toa remark that was passed last evening by a prominent member, it is probable that the proposed boxing tourna- ment for the month of August may not take place.
