12 E FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 15, 1895 —— HUMILIATING STORY OF THE SOLID" EIGHT, How They Revealed] Themselves toan As- tonished People. | VERY UNSAVORY RECORD. A Community Slow to Belleve\ 11l Is at Last Con- vinced. HOW THE LAW WAS BROKEN. The Penalties Provided —Citizens Are Impatient to See It Vindicated. The people are rapidly coming to an un- derstanding of the high-handed and law- Jess methods which obtain with x!m_ major- | fty of the present Board of Supervisors. | “They have been in office now justsix | months, and have already madea record | for themselves that retires Christopher | Buckley's Solid Nine from its position as | the *‘crookedest board in the history of the | City.” The Southern Pacific Railroad Com- pany’s Solid Eight occupy that unenviable | pedestal, and will serve as the criterion and precedent in such things now and hereafter. But there will be this difference in the | story as it is, told in the months and years to come: It will be related how the Solid Eight were stopped in their lawless course by the peremptory hand of the people. For times have changed. The people are in no mood to allow their representa- tives to openly, defiantly and repeatedly sell them out to the corporations; to feel their chains being drawn tighter about them through license granted to the cor- porations; to see the burdens of taxation ncreased. They will stop it, and having stopped it they will punish the men who 80 betray their trust. Times have changed since Christopher | Buckley's regime. Politics are not what they were. The right to steal and plunder | and betray, to defy the law, to grant what- ever the corporations ask and to deny to the plain people the most ordinary rights, is not now considered the privilege of all who win in an election. i When men are elected to responsible | trusts the people expect them to havea | franchise over Ocean House road and Sun- nyside avenue that would bring it into conformity with the law or to cause that company to pay something like value to the City for this great privilege. Taylor’s substitute for the order proposed ! by the attorneys of the Market-street Com- pany, and which substitute provided merely that the franchise be put up without re- strictions to be sold to the highest hidder, as is directly and specifically required by the law, was voted down by these eight votes: SEPH KING, First Ward. R A. SCULLY, Second Ward. NJAMIN, Third Ward. ALPHONSE HIRSCH, Fourth Ward, E. C. HUGHES, Sixth Ward. CHRIS DUNKER, Seventh Ward. A. W. MORGENSTERN, Ninth Ward. EDWARD L. WAGNER, Twelfth Ward. His motion—made in view of the fact that the franchise was to be given to the Market-street Company exclusively—that the sum of $5000 must be bid for it, was voted down by the same eight votes. His motion that $4000 be required was voted down by the same eight votes, and every other proposition to raise the sum above the poor little $500, fixed by law for “‘extensions to the Market-street lines.” Then he began on another tack in the in- terests of the people of Sunnyside avenue, who want street railway communication, and who are promised immediate service by another line, if that other line be granted this portion of the franchise,which covers the three avenues to Ingleside, the objective point. He moved that the Market-street Com- pany, in consideration of being granted this sweening privilege exclusively, be re- quired to build the road over EunFyside avenue within 180 days. The Solid Eight voted it down, and the crowded gallery, unable longer to repress their feelings of disgust, jeered them. He moved that the time limit be then made a year. The Solid Eight, unable to look up and knowing that they would be laughed at for shame, voted ‘“No.” “Two years,” said Taylor, and the Solid Eight voted “No."” So that now no doubt remains with any citizen as to who and what these members of the Solia Eight are, and ever since their guilt has been so fixed the people have been impatiently discussing the means of convicting and punishing them. The Citizens’ Defense Association has been called into being by THE CALL's reve- lations of how this action has directly broken the laws; the Civic Federation has discussed action to be taken, and indi- vidual and patriotic citizens have threat- ened to bring the guilty officials before the care and fulfill the trust with honor. | But the people are slow to believe ill of | their chosen servants. The people as a | body does not like any more than does an | individual like to confess that they have | made a mistake. When the people chose Peter A. Scully | to represent them from the Second Ward, | and C. E. Benjamin from the Third Ward, and Alphonse Hirsch from the Fourth | ‘Ward, and E. C. Hughes from the Sixth ‘Ward, and Chris Dunker from the S8eventh Ward, and A. W. Morgenstern from the | Ninth Ward, and Edward L. Wagner from the Twelfth Ward, it was because they were deemed estimable and honorable gentle- men. With regard to Joseph King, from the First Ward, it must be confessed there was a ehade of doubt from the first. He | was considered one of those unfortunate accidents that happen in parties that are “managed” without scruple. But being | only one in twelve he was thought to be | harmless. So when the people saw the board they had elected pass an ordinance making of the great bituminous rock industry of this State a monopoly, barring out all the several producers of the State from com- peting with the chosen mines of Banta Cruz for the trade of the City and from the business of carrying the same all trensportation companies but the Southern Pacific Railroad, people shuddered and looked anxious and the more alert made a strong protest. But the mass of the people—even when they saw the persistence with which the Solid Eight banded together in their effort to get the order passed over the Mayor’s veto and finally changed the order into a resolulion to avoid the necessity of the Mayor’s signature—even then could not believe that there was a clear intent to fix upon the peope a moncpoly that will, if it remains operative, increase beyond com- putation the taxes for street paving. The thing was so bold and defiant thai the people could not believe—thought there | must be some mistake. Then came the granting of the Church- street franchise to the Market-street Rail- road Company against the most emphatic protests of the people of that part of the Mission, and under conditions which per- mitted of no other man or corporation bid- ding for the thing offered at auction. That outrage was accompanied and fol- lowed by a great wave of protest, for here were many people directly and already injured and they made themselves heard. And when the Solid Eight turned an abso- lutely deaf ear to all the mass of the people began to realize they had made a great mistake in electing these men; that they were bad, dangerous men. But it was last Monday that their master, the Bouthern Pacific Railroad Company, demanded that of these eight Supervisors which left them standing uncloaked be- fore the eyes of all the people—the plain servants of the great corporation. In the two hours between the opening of the session at 3o’clock ia the afternoon until it adjourned at 5, these men drove the last faint shadow from the strongest doubt concerning their guilty alliance with corporations. They had no will— they were compelled to vote as they did. That was made apparent. Otherwise they would have taken some refuge in the many avenues offered by Bupervisor Taylor for their escape. But they allowed him to close them one after the other, helpless, unable to cast a single vote in behalf of the people as against their master, until they stood at last in the corral, the bars all up, convicted. For two hours the men of the Bolid Eight bowed their heads and voted “no,” “no,” “no” to every proposition looking to the amendment of the order granting the Market-street Railway Company the courts. In view of this stress of public feeling it is well to keep clearly in mind the law in order to properly understand how flagrant- ly and openly it has been violated. The law, which has been repeatedly printed by THE CALL, specially sets forth that franchises to be awarded by the board must be put up at auction, without any re- strictions, and awarded to the highest bid- der. This is the manner in which these bids are called for in the resolution as passed and advertised: Resolution No. 12,610 (third series.)— ‘Whereas, application has been made to this board by the Market-street Railway tain and operate for the unexpired terms of the respective franchises heretofore granted for its line of street railroad on Mission street, Mission-street road and Telegraph or New County road, as exten- sions of and adjuncts to, and in connec- tion with said line of railroad, a single or double track street railroad, etc. The resolution further provides that And whereas, it is proposed to grant under the conditions and restrictions imposed in the draft of an order sub- mitted by said company with its appli- cation, filed on July 1, 1895, * * * a franchise for a street railway along, over and upon the streets, highways and premises hereinbefore mentioned; there- fore, etc. These conditions, it will be seen, make the franchises of no value to any but the Market-street Company, to the open and advertised violation of the law. The law provides as follows: % Sec. 2. Any member of any Board of Supervisors, Common Council or other governing or legislative body of any county, city and county, city, town or district of this State who, by his vote, violates, or attempts to violate, the provi- sions of tkis act. or any of them, shall be guilty of @ misdemeanor and of malfeas- ance in office and be deprived of his of- | fice by the decree of a court of competent Jjurisdiction, after trial and conviction. In this the path is marked out for those who are determined to maintain the in- tegrity of the City and the rights of the people. A, TAULBEE LECTURE He Delivers the First Address of the Proposed State Series. Objects of the A. P. A. Deflned as Based Upon Constitutional Alleglance. The first of the series of lectures which the Kentucky orator, Rev. J. M. Taulbee, proposes to give in this State during the pext three months upon the aims and objects of the American Protective As- | sociation, was delivered in Metropolitan Temple yesterday afternoon in the pres- ence of an audience which crowded the building to the doors. No pains had been spared by the com- mittee of arrangements to make the in- terior of the hall as pretty as possible in the way of decorations. The platform was swathed in a mass of red, white and blue bunting and draped with American flags, while in the midst of it the words, “California greets Kentucky,” shone out in golden lines. The balcony likewise was hung with festoons of bunting and shieids, thirteen in number, representing the original Colonial States. Besides the speaking, on the Erognmme there was a\;gi‘: and singing by the Temple Coral iety. h In calling the meeting to order B. F. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report Royal Baking - i Company to construct, lay down, main- | Huddelson, State president of California, stated that the lecture tour of Mr. Taulbee was but the prelude to otbers. He would be followed by William S. Menton of Michigan and Judge J. S. Jackson of Texas. H. W. Quitzow was called to the chair, and, after a song by Miss Minnie Powell, he introduced Mr. Taulbee. His address was opened with a glowing eulogy of California, her climate, her scen- ery and her people. He was enraptured with all, and pnrticularlg 80 with the many pretty women he had seen here. After spending ten minutes in describing his feelings he branched into his subject, which he called “The Attitude of the Hierarchy Toward American Institutions.” “There is,” he said, ‘‘a wave of dissatis- faction rolling over the country from one end to the other. There was a warning in this which must be heeded, but in the first place I must remark that what I say I say in all Jove and kindness, not with any rancor of bigotry. We are all brothers 2s American citizens. I do not want to see any of us lndul%in,\z in personal sar- casm, intemperate language or billings- gate. Instead of dragging each other down we should strive to me up, and in_the A, P. A. it should be an imperative duty to teach the principle of building up. THE EMMARUEL CHURCH, Opening Services Conducted by the Pastor, the Rev. J. George Gibson. OTHER PREACHERS ASSIST. Nothing of a Sensational Nature Occurred to Mar the Religious. Ceremonies. Though the sun shone brightly without, mournfully the wind moaned through the | beifry, and when there wasa moment of silence in the service those in the audi- torifim could hear it plainly. Though the ! }he_ mists have rolled away,” was its re- rain. “The Builder Among the Ruins,” was the title of the sermon. Man was the ruin, mercy the builder—this the burden of the sermon. “ We sometimes think ourselves alone in the bitter experiences of our lives,” said the pastor. But this was a wrong belief, he held. All the world suffered for the sin that was in it, and no man suffered alone. Others had similar experiences. All had the same evil pas- sions and_temptations, and for all the mercey of God would build up the ruins. It was a good, practical sermon with no references at all to the sad history of the church. In the afternoon the Rev. A. M. Russell of the Hamilton-sauare Baptist Church, Rev. George E. Duncan_of the Third Bap- tist Church, Rev. M. P. Boyrelin of the First Baptist Church, the Rev. M. Gardner of Alameda, the Rev. Mr. Dietz of the Ger- man Baptist Church, the Rev. Mr. Stewart. Reyv. Dr. Pond and Rev. Dr. McClish of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, occu- pied seats on the glatform and made brief addresses, ihterluded with musical num- bers either by the choir or by the pastor, Mr. Gibson. Dr. McClish spoke most feelingly, per- haps, for, though of a different denomina- il [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] THE OPENING SERMON OF REV. J. GEORGE GIBSON AT THE EMMANUEL BAPTIST CHURCH. Every true American should also realize that there is but one supreme authority in this country, and that is the constitution. It alone can govern the people, and all elected officers must obey its dictates. No other power should be permitted to come into conflict with it. “I am not villifying any religion when I say this. I but repeat facts by comparing laws. For the individual church members in this country I am speaking in a broth- erly way. I carenot if a man worships a wooden image or what, as long as he is a good American citizen. What we want is total separation of church and State, and we want the State free and independent of all outside influences, as our constitution says it must be. The A. P. A. says to every man: be a true American citizen, and own allegiance to no earthly power ex- cept the constitution of the United States.” he speaker continued in this strain for some time, and then read extracts from various records and papers to bear out, as he said, the several points which he wanted to bring prominently forward in the consideration of his subject. The re- mainder of his address was devoted tocom- ments upon those features of reiigious faith which he claimed the American Pro- tective Association had decided were in- imical to the idea of American liberty. In the evening Mr. Taulbee delivered a sermon in the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, on Mission street, taking for his subject “The analogy between material and natural Ehilomphy and psychology.” He selected the text from the first chapter of Ecclesiasties, 1n which Solomon says that *‘One generation passeth and another cometh, but the world abideth forever.” In giving this text the speaker said that Solomon looked down from a lofty perch of wisdom. It wasthe same all through his writings. While not being ready to say that puilosophy or science is untrue, Mr. Taulbee said he was sure that God's words support them. There is an agree- ment all around, if it was only understood. There is a similarity between pnilosophy in the natural effects it produces and the natural causes, Psychology, the speaker said, is soul science, and it is_philosophy in its highest type. When philosophy treats of material subjects it is anthropology, referring to man’s inner being; when it refers to his soul and treats of spiritual things it is psychology. The analogy between philos- ophy material and natural and psychology is shown in the course of nature and the immortal life of man. Natureis one vast system of reproduction from season to sea- son, and from the beginning of the world until no one knows when. “So with man. The river which flows on and on represents God’s love, and the sun God’s countenance, which warms the soul of man. =Like things in nature, even as man’sbody which falls back tp mother earth, so does man’s soul go back to the Father from whence it came. It rested with the pos- sessor of thatsoul, while living his few days on earth, as to whether the soul re- turned as pure and unsullied as possible in the endeavor to carry out God’s laws and remain with the Father through eternity or whether it was returned stained and lotted with sin to be cast over to the torture of the devil. A HEARTLESS MOTHER. Deserts Her Husband and Four Young Children. John Catchman of Vallejo called at police headquarters yesterday with four children, the oldest eight years of age. He told a pitiful story of his wife having de- serted him. He came to the City on Satur- day with his four children and while walk- ing along Sixth street at might met his wife. One of the children ran up to her and cried out: “Mamma, mamma, won'’t gou come back to us?” The reply of the eartless mother was: “Go away. Idon’t ;::g' to have anything more to do with . Catchman gaid he wasa poor, hard-work- ing man and he did not know what to do to compel his wife to come back to him and care for her children. Chief Crowley took an interest in nis case and instructed fficer Coleman to find the woman and bring her to police headquarters, She sunlight came in through the colored win- dows and made it impossible for one to think of the supernatural, still a sense of the desolate meaning of that mournful sound seemed to pervade the congregation. And not the most emphatic words of the | Rev. J. George Gibson; not the most elaborate gestures of the pastor of Em- manuel Baptist Church could shake off the feeling of uncanniness or break the spell of iciness that tixed itself on the first congre- gation that had gathered to worship within these blood-stained walls since the wide world was startled by the tragedies that have given the church its renown. ; In the afternoon when several visiting pastors made brief congratulatory ad- dresses this feeling of iciness and uncanni- ness. was dissipated to a degree. And in the evening when the lights were burning and the congregation joined the choir in singing “What a Friend We Have in Jesus,” the volume of melody seemed to fill the edifice entirely, and one almost forgot the horrors of the past. If only the cracks in the belfry could be closed, and those mournful, mournful sighs of the wind hushed forever, one might, perhaps, sit in the congregation and think only of the present or of the future. But of the many that visited Emmanuel Baptist Church yesterday, those attracted there by curiosity rather than piety had their trouble for their pains. To those in search of the sensational the three open- ing services yesterday were tame affairs. Almost anything was expected when it was announced that the Bartlett-street church was to be reopened. And as a precaution- ary measure the Chief of Police directed Detective Seymour and Policemen West, Keegan, Baily and Esko to be in attend- ance in citizen’s dress. Asa further pre- cautionary measure admission to the church, except to the members of the con- gregation, was by card only. ‘ “We thought,” explained Pastor Gibson, “that those of you who were interested enough to secure tickets would surely be interested enodgh to assist us in the work before us of buifding up our church again.” This was said by way of preface to the col- lection, which seemed to be a liberal one, judging from the number of coins and en- velopes deposited in the wooden dishes for offerings ihat were passed to the congrega- tion by E. Wolf ume. ‘Worth, An were interested a good msnz t enough to secure tickets, for the audito- rium of the church is ample, and it was nearly filled at all three of the services. A good many more might have been seated in the gallery, but that is the way to the pestor’s study and to the belfry, and the gallery was closed to worshipers. Some- times the all but human mourning of the wind seemed to come from the deserted gallery. But this was only a fancy. It came in reality from the defective frame- work of the belfry. There was an organ voluntary at 11 o'clock in the morning, and when it had fairly started the Rev. J. George Gibson appeared on the platform. He scanned his audience closely, almost fiercely and dar- ingly, fora few seconds, Then the “Dox- olozy” was sung. Inhis consecration prayer the Rev. Mr. Gibson spoke of consecrating the church to the divine uses, ‘‘We sprinkle no water,” he said, ‘‘but we base our hope for the future in the blood of the Savior.” The church was sacred to its congregation for the souls that have found God within its shelter and for the memory of those who, after a short conflict with a terrible sin, now wear the martyrs’ crowns, said the pastor. And beyond this bare illusion if such it really was, to the tragedies o the past, not another word spoken by the geastor Yesterday could be construed as aring upon the one topic with which the name Emmanuel Baptist Church is yet sadly and horribly interwoven. ‘The platform, pulpit and choir were prettily decorated witg green foliage and red and white blossoms, and there were sev- eral beautiful floral pieces on the platform. One of these was an open book with the words on it, “Truth Prevails.” Before the sermon of the morning there was an anthem by the cheir, very touch- ing and appropriate in sentiment, and rendered with much feeling and melody. ““We shall know each other better when tion, it was his church that threw its doors open to the congregation of Emmanuel dur- ing the dark hours immediately following the tragedies. It pleased him beyond measure, he said, to see the congregation again in its own church. Through the sorrow of the past much good would be sure to come in the future, he felt certain. Dr. Pond said he could look back and re- member the day Emmanuel Baptist Church was dedicated as a house of worship. God’s ways were inscrutible often, but they were just and merciful, he said. The soloists were Mrs. M. M. Brown, W. C. Campbell, Mrs. 0. B. Troflong and Pastor Gibson. Inthe congregation were noticeable Ex-Supervisor ~Taber, 8. 8. Code, Dr. Vogel, Mr. Maguire and others well known in the Mission. Before the close of the afternoon services several substantial pledges were given toward repaying the church debt. In the evening Pastor Gibson preached about “Broken Ideals,” his text being in Philip- pians, iii:16. There were several musical numbers besides that rendered by the choir, composed of Charles M. Elliot, Arthur Davis, Joseph W. Maguire, L. A. Larsen and F. Crossett, the organist. It is the intention to hold the regular services from now on, but for a while yet admission to non-members will be by card alone, but these cards are freely given. INERAL LAND PATENTS, The California Miners’ Asso- ciation to Continue the Fight. A Meeting of the Executive Com- mittee Called to Consider Ways and Means. ‘The California Miners’ Association has not yet given up the fight against the pat- enting of mineral lands to the railroad in spite of the fact that the relief promised them by President Cleveland has not been forthcoming. On the contrary its members declare that they will fight the matter to the bitter end, and a meeting of the ex- ecutive committee of the association has been called at the Palace Hotel for the evening of the 29th inst. to consider ways and means of carrying on the fight and to formulate a plan of campaign. Jacob Neff of Placer, who is president of the associa- tion, was at the Palace yesterday and ex- pressed himself about the prospects for mining in the State: “The mining industries in the district with which I am best acquainted—Placer county—are very active. There is a strong and ever increasing demand for mining properties and prospects, and a . great amount of development work is being done. New ledges are being opened up and explored, and old ledges are being carefully examined, with a view to extend- ing the workings. “When I speak of the demand for mining land, I mean, you understand, gold properties. We have no silver ones that amount to a great deal. But from the present outlook I believe the gold output of Placer County will exceed the output of Nevada County by a large figure. “It is not aloné in Placer County that this activity is found either. The minin, industry is booming all over the State an it is but right its interests should be pro- tected. Our plan of operations? No, that I cannot tell you at present.” Mr. Neff departed for his home in Placer County last night. —————————— A Family Jar. GREAT AMERICAN IMPORTING TEA CO.'S Stores are selling MASON FRUIT JARS .
