The Civic Federation and the Citizens’ | Defense Association have both determined {upon fighting, and the character of the { men composing these organizations is a gnarantee that the unbridled loot of the | treasury and the wholesale granting of | public privileges to corporate monopoly | will be checked and punished. Steuart Menzies, member of the execu- tive committee of the Citizens’ Defense Association, was in an impatient hamor yesterday because of the delay which the councils of Henry N. Clement had induced | in the Defense Association with regard to the matter. “I don’t believe in sending these people any letter of warning, or of waiting, for that matter. But if we are to wait until they have actually consummated this out- rage we need not write letters. They know | what they are about and if they persist in it let them go and we’ll make an example ofthem. So far as advising them that what they are doing is unlawful, THE CALL | has certainly done that fully, clearly and | repeatedly and they cannot claim igno- | rance on that score. I am in favor of going ! after them. It has become necessary that | we do something to save ourselves and the | credit of the City.

Here they are: First—The famous bituminous - rock order, creating a monopoly of that great industry in favor of the Santa Cruz mines, and giving to the Southern Pacific Company a complete monopoly of the business of carrying the rock to the City. Second—The attempt to pass this order over the Mayor’s veto, which failed only because.the solid four (solid in the in- terests of the people) stood firm, and nine votes were necessary. Third—The passage of this order in the form of a resolution so as to avoid the necessity of the Mayor’s signature. The resolution is practieally identical with the order vetoed. In this clearly un- lawful subterfuge Superintendent of Streets Ashworth was used as a tool, being induced to present the resolution as a recommendation of his own in behalf of | better paving. { Fourth—The granting of the. fran- | chise over certain portions of Church street to the Market-strect Company after the previous franchise had lapsed and without due process as required by | law. The fuil details of this outrage are told in another column, as it forms the basis of a | civil suit against the Market-street Com- pany which will be begun in court to-day. Fifth—The letting of the contract for paving Van Ness Avenue (half the | cost of which is to be paid by the City) at a figure far above what the wo: could be done for, and which mulects | the City for thousands of dollars. Sixth—And, finally, the proposed gift of the Ocean House road and Sunnyside avenue franchise to the Mar- ket-street Company. These are only a few of the acts distin- guishing the legislative career of the Solid Eight of the Board of Supervisors, which began with January last and will continue if not checked by the people until Janu- ary, 1897, has been aroused among the better | ed do they deserve to be robbed of their{ “That is very true,” said Mr. Clement. | The interview took place yesterday after- | noon in the latter’s office. ~“It is true that | these men nave been fully advised of the | nature of the thing they are undertaking and of the penalty that attendsit. But | there are two considerations that I think | we should observe. In the first place I | would prefer to keep men from committing | & crime, rather than to stand by and see them commit it for the satisfaction of pun- ishing them afterward, and secondly—" Mr. Menzies rose and walked across the room and back in his impatience. “Stand by and see them commit it!”” he | cried. “Haven’t we stood by and seen | them defy the law time after time? In | this last instance we have a case that is | self-evident, and I don’t believe it-is any | part of our duty to warn them away from | the deserts which they have earned several times over.” “But I was going to explain the sec- ond consideration,” said Mr. Clement. “When we have a case, why should we not make it absolutely secure | so that we can win? If they sell this fran- chise under the conditions advertised, in spite of the warning which, we will admit, they have already received through the columns of THeE CaLL, then I cannot see how any court can hold them guiltless of maifeasance in office.” Gavin McNab, as attorney, has been ad- vised to be present atthe meeting of the Civic Federation next Thursday, and ad- vise them how to proceed against the de- linquent Supervisors. *The Market-street Railway Company has gridironed the City with stolen fran- chises, but of all their outrages I believe this to be the woist,” said Mayor Sutro yesterday. “We have no positive evi- dence of any monetary consideration re- | ceived by the members of the Solid Eight, but we certainly have a right to draw our own conclusions. Here is an bpportunity | when the courts should be appealed to, | and from what I hear on every hand the opportunity will not pass.” | The Royal Baking Powder isso much | superior to all the other preparations for | quick raising that it will amply repay housekeepers to use the necessary persist- | ency to procureit in spite of all objections. S Yoy ANOTHER WIFE-BEATER. William F. Murray Arrested for Cruelty and Failure to Support. A story of *“man’s inhumanity to woman'’ has come to light through the records at the office of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. On Wednesday Mrs. Margaret Murray, living at 4584 Minna street, made com- plaint to General McComb that her hus- band, William F. Murray, had given hera severe beating and declared that he would no longer support her and their three chil- dren. The general advised her to swear to a complaint chm&ginihim with cruelty and failure to provide, but she relented and thought she would give the recreant hus- band another trial. Yesterday morning she again presented herself with the marks of another beating plainly visible. This time her determination did not waver, although Murray had told her another flogging was in store for her if he was arrested, and the warrant was issued. ——————————— WAGES OF THE OOLIMA'S OREW.

Costigan of the {}nited States Circuit Court. The heirs-at-law, after making ont their blanks before the Shipping Commissioner, will have to appear in the Circuit Court and rove their claims. The court charges will Ee 2 per cent of the amount invoived. THOSE ZANTE CURRANTS. The Appeal Is to Be Pushed in the Circuit Court. The decision of the Board of General Appraisers in the Zante currant case wiil make a big difference to California if the Circuit Court sustains the lower body. E. B. Butler of Fresno called upon United States District Attorney Foote yesterday and urged upon him the prosecution of the case. He said_that if currants from Greece were admitted without paying duty as Zante currants it would mean a loss of over $1,000,000 to the raisin men of Cali- fornia. Attorney Foote said the complaint was being prepared and would be filed in a few days. “Once the case is in court,” said he, “it will be forced ahead and a fm;el decision be probably reached in Oc- tober.” DICKINSON 15 RELIEVED. The General’s Records Are Transferred to Colonel De Pue. Twelve More Companles to Be Mus~ tered Out of the National Guard. An order was issued from the head- quarters of the State militia yesterday which recalled the refusal of Brigadier- General J. H. Dickinson to be legislated out of office at the time of the passage of the new militia law by the Legislature. The order came yesterday detailing Lieu- tenant-Colonel De Pue to the duty of re- ceiving the records. The members of the National Guard are to a man intensely interested in the action the board of location will take when it meets Monday to complete the work of re- organizing the guard. “There has been no favoritism shown in any instance in mustering out companies or in any matter pertaining to the re- organization of the guard,” said General Dimond yesterday. ‘“What has been done was considered by the board purely for the best interest of the militia. “From ten to twelve companies will have to be mustered out or consolidated with other companies besides those already dis- posed of. There will be no partiality shown, but the three brigades will be treated alike.” It is more than likely that four more of the City companies will have to go. The policy of consolidating will be followed whenever possible or advantageous to do so and the number really mustered from the service will doubtless be small. Of the three plans to be discussed at the meeting of the board on Monday there is no doubt that the one most favored is that of reducing the regiments to battalions, with the understanding that they shall be restored to regiments at such time as the financial condition of the guard will war- rant. Several members of the Veterans’ Asso- ciation of the National Guard called upon General Dimond yesterday concerning the manner of reorganization. They ex- pressed it as the sense of the association that the latter lan would please the mem- bers of the association better than any of the others yet put forward. General Dimond yesterday issued an order to Brigadier-General Warfie!d, com- manding the Second Brigade, to detail an | officer to receive the property of those com- anies which have been mustered out. This will probably be executed Monday, and the companies will then cease to be a art of the guard. They are: Company , Second Infantry; Company H, First| Company C, Third Infantry; B, Tenth infnntry Battalion, and of Cavalry. The members of Companies H, C and Troop A are given thirty days in which to join any other company of the regiment to which their company was formerly attached. —————— Mary J.

Their Next Annual Convention Will Be Held at Santa Cruz. COLLEGE STUDENTS SCORED. Dr. Asay of San Jose Proposes an Amendment to the State Dental Law. The California State Dental Association concluded the twenty-fifth annual conven- tion yesterday. The next annual convention will be held at Santa Cruz beginning on the second Tuesday in June, 1896. There was no con- test over the selection of Santa Cruz, an | agreement having been reached before the matter was brought up in convention, and no other place was named. The clinics were not so largely attended as usual owing to the banquet of thenight before. A little boy with a very wicked tooth at- tended the clinics. He brought his little sister along to comfort and encourage him. He wanted that wicked tooth removed. He felt quite brave as he approached the awd Cx-pres.

These small particles will increase, causm%_n recurrence of the disease. Some of his fellows opine that the doctor has some- thing more than touch to aid him in a complete eradication of tartar and cure the disease. But that is another clinic which, like the letter that is looked for, will never come. : The advantage of the Bonwill engine over the sleeve and cable engine was made comprehensive by a practical demonstra- tion in the hands of Dr. L. Van Orden, who removed some loose fillings from the teeth of a patient. He replaced that with the pink gutta-percha filling, which is his specialty. This filling is temporary, and is used for the purpose of wedging, thus pre- ;}sring the cavity for permanent filling. he engine, or—as the uninitiated would call it — machine, which operates the mechanical hammer, is so constructed that it equalizes the weight of the arm of the engine and the hammer itself. In fact, it reduces the weight to less than the weight of the hammer alone. The features of the afternoon session were papers by Dr. W. J. Younger and Dr. J. L. Asdy. Dr. Younger's paper on *‘Sur- gical Bacteria” was an exhaustive and scholarly essay of great importance to the dentists. It was discussed by Drs. J. M. Dunn, A. F. Merriman and Miss McEIroy. “The State Dental Law and the Attitude of Colleges Thereto’’ was presented by Dr. J. L. Asay of San Jose. The act of March 12, 1885, needs revision, according to the paper, which contained a direct charge against college students with violations of thedS!ate law. Referring to this Dr. Asay read: 1 am credibly informed that almost every business block outside of the wholesale district in your city contains the offices of one or more college students practicing dentistry on their own account without license, hindrance or re- proof, and this, too, not only during the inter- vals of college sestions, but also continuous with their studies in that institution. Tnat the college is ignorant of such viola- tions of the law by its students is notto be supposed. On the contrary, due notice and warnings have been seni and known to have reached it from the State Board of Dental Ex- aminers. On the subject of revision of the lJaw Dr. | Asay suggested that the law should pro- vide: That every person desiring to enter into dental practice hereafter should be the right. ful possessor of a diploma from either a rep table dental or medical college, and in add tion compel an examination before the State /.

Dr. Younger explained thatthisis a disease—pyorchee— and gave a practical demonstration of re- moving the disorder. He first disinfected the mouth, teeth and gums. He then re- moved the tartar, using tools that he had invented. After taking out every particle of tartar he flooded the spaces or pockets around the tecth with lactic acid—an acid of milk. The gums were then touched with iodone. r. Younger explained Board of Dental Examiners before legalizing them to practice. Failing in this, I would pro- pose an amendment to the present law, strik- out portion of section 5 in wordsas follows: id board shall also indorse as satisfactory diplomas from any reputable dental college when satisfied as to the character of such in- stitution upon the holder furnishing satis- factory evidence of his or her right to the same, and shall issue certificates to that effect within ten days thereafter.” The elimination of this paragraph would leave the law in such condition as to compel all who might here- after desire to engage in the practice of den- tistry in this State to appear before the Board of Dental Examiners aud be examined asto their qualifications whether holdisg a diploma or not. Other papers were read as follows: “Ap- plication of Electricity to Dental Uses,” written by Dr. F. H. Berry of Milwaukee, Wis., and read by Dr. H. Carlton; the committee report on ‘“Orthodontia,” by Dr. J. A. W. Lundborg, and ‘“Alveolar Abscesses,” by Dr. J. M. Dunn. Discussions were participated in by Drs. Sharp, Younger, Farnham, Carpenter, De gm_we, Dunn, Merriman, McElroy and raig. Annual reports were read by the secre- tary, the treasurer and the board of trus- | tees, which were accepted and filed. Dr. O. B. Burns of San Francisco, Dr. R. H. Alen of Oakland, Dr. G. F. Davis of San Jose and Dr. G. F. Nevins of San Jose were elected new members. The installation of the new officers was conducted in an exceedingly entertaining manner. Drs. Younger and Lundborg act- ing as committee of escort marched the officers elect to the rostrum, singing such songs as “We've All _Been ‘There Before” and “He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.” Occa- sionally the other members broke in upon the melody by singing in a variety of a large assortment of keysand clapping their hands to indicate their undivided atten- tion to the ceremony.

The police have caught the man who shot Chong Wai, the Chinese laborer, on the corner of Washington and Stockton streets Thursday evening. He is a well-known highbinder named Mook Tai and was ar- rested soon after the crime was committed in Chinatown, He was taken to the Re- ceiving Hospital, where tlie wounded man is lying at the point of death, and the lat- ter positively identified him as the man who had shot him. Tai was locked up in the tanksand his name entered on the small book. Addi tional evidence is being gathered by the police and in the event of Chong Wai’s death Tai will be charged with murder. Last night the injured man was in a low condition. His wound is in the abdomen and the chances for his recovery are very slight.

In dismissing her action the court holds that, as the affirm- ing of the decree of distribution declared the rights of all parties mentioned in the decree, #nd as she was not among those so mentioned, it must thereiore be considered that she ha no rights in the matter and can therefore have no interest in whatever final judgment the Supreme Court renders. —————— The health authorities of a number of States have recently made exhaustive ex- aminations of the baking powders with the uniform result of finding the Royal superior to all others. CHURCH-STREET OUTRAGE Suit to Compel Forfeiture of a Stolen Railroad Fran- chise. SHORT HISTORY OF THE THEFT. An Apt Illustration Showing How the Market-Street Company Controls the Solid Eight. Suit will be begun in the civil courts to- day by A. P. Van Duzer, attorney for the Church-street Improvement Club, against the Market-street Railway, to-compel that company to withdraw its tracks from Church street and to pay damages for the theft of a right of way over two blocks of that thoroughfare. The suit grows out of circumstances at- tending what is known about the City Hall and in the Mission as ‘‘the Church- street outrage.” A. R. Gunnison, chairman of the excu- tive committee of the Church-street Im- provement Club, told yesterday in .an interview the plain story of the treatment accorded the people of that part of the Mis- sion by the Market-street Railway Com- pany. “This club,” he said, ‘‘was organized as long ago as six years, with almost the sole purpose of securing a cable road across the length of Church street. ““The members started their work ener- getically and before long had interested more than one railroad company, and two of them—the Market-street Company and the Omnibus Company—applied for fran- chises. “The Market-street Company of course secured it, giving its solemn promise to complete the road within two years. The company told the club that they must be given rights of way on Church street from Fourteenth to Sixteenth, which was their private property. The club went to work and raised $2000 from the residents along the south end of Church street. To this the City added $500, for which sum the right of way was purchased. ‘‘Remember,” said Mr. Gunnison, ‘“‘that the club had the temporary written agree- ment to carry out its part of the obligation and complete the work within two years, and felt so entirely secure in it that they paid for and presented this right of way to the company without any thought of the deception and confidence game which the big company was playing upon them with cool premeditation. “What the company did was to lay one block with rails which the citizens watched going into place with great satisfaction. That was the work of a few days, and there they stopped—and three years passed away with never another move being made toward carrying out their obligations. The club saw the franchise lapse and knew that the company had never intended to build the road but had simply been foxy enough to keepa rival company out of the territory. “But the time came when the company thought it a good business proposition to really build their road over a portion of Church street, and one night in March last, as is very well remembered no doubt, went out in the night time with a big gang of laborers and stole these identical two blocks which our confiding people had bought for them. They built a road, com- mencing at Sixteenth street and extending over two blocks, leaving all of Church street south of Sixteenth without a road. ““A great row was made about this and it was proposed to call out the police and tear up the rails, when, lo! che company, to the amazement of everybody, sent a meek communication to the Board of Supervisors saying that they intended to take them up themselves and would then apply regularly for 2 franchise over these two blocks. They knew with whom they had to deal. “They did all this, and despite every protest the board granted them what they asked. The suit to be entered is to secure the forfeiture of this pretended franchise— for it was all unlawfully done, according to the methods so clearly set forth by THE Carur—granted them by the Solid Eight of the Board of Supervisors.”” These are the men who granted this franchise; they compose the league of railroad agents known as the Solid Eight: JOSEPH KING, First Ward.
