THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 1895. SOLID EIGHT'S ANSWER General Dickinson Says There Is No Difference in the Franchises. BUT THE LAW WAS VIOLATED. Messrs.

M. Tinoco, the manager, sailed, taking with him machin- ery for boring and for refining oil. There ismow a well sunk on the slope that runs toward the Atlantic, and about nine miles from the City of Guatemala. It is about 100 feet deep and flows five barrels a day. This has been refined and the result has been the production of 78 per cent oil. The company has 14,000 shares of the par_value of $100 each, and is or- ganized under tne laws of California. n Guatemala the law provides that any person in the employ of a foreign cor- poration cannot be drafted into the army in case of revolution. The officers of the company are: Tennison Deane, president; George H. Umbsen, vice-president; E. Obrist, secretary; J. Bentz, financial sec- retary; C. M. Cook, San Pedro, and J. M. Tinoco, directors. TRAFFI0 WITH OREGON. A Fight for Business When the Re- modeled Columbia Sails. The steamer Columbia of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, that has undergone a thorough renovation at the Union Iron Works, will make her first he sa:d | trip as a practically new boat on August mply | and in the | on the improvements and alteratio Her owners expended about $150,000 s of the Columbia, which included remodeling of the cabins, new woodwork throughout and an innovation in comfortable quarters for steerage passengers. The hull, too, has been made practically new again. With her return to service between San Francisco and Portland it is expected that a reduction in freight rates will go into effect. This, with the many inducements offered for carrying passengers in comfort, will seriously affect the railroad business between California and Oregon, in which a general cut in rates may be looked for, even under the last reduction made a few days ago. A RUINED ATHLETIC PARK The Olympic Club to Sue the Owner of Its Outdoor Grounds. Keen Interest in the Coming Elec- tlon—Candidates Mentioned for High Places. The directors of the Olympic Club, at a special meeting, decided to bring suit against John T. Doyle, the owner of the land upon which stands the Olympic Club’s outdoor grounds. The officers of the club are of the opinion that Mr. Doyle is not entitled, according to the present | condition of the grounds, to the regular monthly rental which the club has been paying him for five years past. { In speaking of the matter Director Ham- mersmith said yesterday that according to | the terms of agreement entered into be- tween the club and Mr. Doyle, the latter is San Mateo company (Joost) was bankrupt, | responsible for any damage that may result and that it would not be business-like to | to the grounds during its occupancy by the award the franchise to a corporation in that condition. The law on which the suit is based is empbatic. Under the statutes of 1893all es must be let out to the hirhest bidder, and it is claimed the Solid Eight not only ignored the law, but laughed at the logic of the law. The Eight are: Joseph King, First Ward. Peter A. Scully, Second Ward. Charles E. Benjamin, Third Ward. Alphonse Hirsch, Fourth Ward. Edward C. Hughes, Sixth Ward. Chris Dunker, Seventh Ward. Alfred W. Morgenstern, Ninth Ward. Edward L. Wagner, Twelfth Ward. These peremptorily dismissed the appli- | cation of the San Francisco and San Mateo company and granted the franchise as it The demurrer and_answer will be filed to-day and then will begin the fight in earnest. OIL IN GUATEMALA. A San Francisco Company Organized to Explore New Petroleum Fields. ed for by the Market-street com- | Olympic Club. Mr. Doyle, it appears, thinks differently, and although notified of the pad condition of the tracks, etc., owing to an inundation of sand caused by the broken fence, he has refused to either | make the mecessary repairs or accept of a reduction of rent, hence the proposed suit. It will be remembered that when the fence was broken by the heavy pressure of sand which had been piled against it by the graders, the Olympic Club attempted to have a settlement with the owner of the grounds by arbitration, but the arbitrators failed to agree on terms satisfactory to the principals, and as a result the club will now resort to the courts for a decision. The topic of conversation at the club is relative to the election. A nominating committee wiil be appointed on the even- | ing of August 5, and it is expected that | much interest will be manifested in the nominations among the politicians of the club. Adolph Spreckels and James V. | Coleman are among the gentlemen whose names have already been mentioned for | president. | F. Easton is spoken of very favorably | for treasurer; for secretary A. Forsyth and | J. Leighton ‘are among the most popular names mentioned; Dr. D. N. Short, C. Schuster and E. A. Kolb are in the race for the office of leader. For captain no | better man than John Elliott could be | chosen, but like Mr. Harrison, Mr. Elliott Petroleum in sufficient quantity to war- | is a bit bashful.

While in Guatemala he examined the sources of oil there. pleased with his discoveries that he re- turned to this City and interested Tennison Deane, George H. Umbsen, J. M. Tinoco, formerly Consul for Guatemala at this port, and a number of others in a propo- sition to secure rights to bore for oil in that territory. C. M. Cook, an expert in oil lands and wells, was sent to the place, and, upon his report, a company was or- ganized. This company secured from the Govern- ment the exclusive right to bore for oil in any part of Guatemala, and to hold such we s might be discovered. ~Under this concession the company will have the right to bar out any others who might wish to bore for oil. This commodity at this time sells for $140 a gallon, so the com- pany hasa good prospect before it, as it expects to produce enough oil to supply | all the markets of Central America and | Mexico. st September San Pedro, who had for | ars been a miner in California and | He was so well | | Board of Equalization. | .The Supervisors sat as a Board of Equal- ization yesterday and considered the plaints of those who wished their assess- ments altered.

The property assessed, he said, consisted mainly of railroad bonds end was held in New York. Besides, $600,- 000 worth of Soutnern Pacific stock had been sold in New York, and the estate was | therefore, he thought, beyond California | jurisdiction. It was shown that the estate | is still under the control of the local Pro- bate Court, so the assessment, was reduced only the amount of stock sold, $600,000. The Presidio and Ferries road asked a reduction from $70,000 to $50,000, as the stock selling at the time of the assessment for $12 was now selling for $8. The matter was taken under advisement, as was also the application of the Merchants’ Ex- change to have the assessment on its build- ing reduced from $100,000 to $50,000.

Sergeant Bethel Will Circulate No More Petitions for the Bene- fit of Others. Police Commissioner Mose Gunst has re- turned from the East, bubbling over with | reform, new blood on the force, and a few doses of censure directed against those who have exceeded their authority during his absence. ® 8aid Commissioner Gunst to a CALL re- porter last evening: “I have learned a few things while away that will be of some importance, and I will try to introduce them on the police brutally beat and kicked me. On_Sunday he again beat and kicked me and threaf- ened to cut me up in small pieces with a razor. He packed up his grip and left the house. I saw him yesterday and asked him for money for my support and he re- fused to give me anything, so my friends advised me to have him arrested for bat- tery.” MR. SOLOMON IS WANTED. Charged by Goodall, Perkins & Co. With Shipping “Matches”” by Steamer | as “Japanese Ware.’ The Federal officials are hot on the trail of C. Solomon, a commission merchant. If caught and convicted he wili be liable to a fine of $2000 and a term of five years in the State prison. A complaint has been filed against him by the Pacific Coast Steamship Companv and a warrant for his arrest issued. The charge against him is shipping “matches” on an ocean steamer as “‘Japanese ware.” X During one of her trips between San | Francisco and southern ports the steamer Santa Rosa, owned by the Pacitic Coast Steamship Company, was found to be on fire. The crew was called out and a close | examination showed that the fire was in | the fore hold. Se\‘er‘;\l _tons of cargo were | removed and a smoldering box of matches | was found. Had it not been for the rompt action of Captain Alexander and is men the chances are that the vessel COMMISSIONER MOSE GUNST, WHO HAS OBSERVED SOME THINGS IN NEW YOREK. force of San Francisco. But firstof all we have got to get some young blood among the captaihs—some active men and efficient officers.” “Who will succeed Douglass, Stone and Short as captains?”’ “Well, wheu I left we had about settled on Wittman and Gillen, and had also con- cluded that Robinson would do first rate. Their predecessors are too old to be of much service. I tell you we need new blood. Of course they will be pensioned and a sufficient recognition of their past services will be forthcoming.”” “What will you do in the matter of Ser- geant Bethel, the officer who circulated the petition for Douglass?” “What will Ido with him?” inquired Mr. Gunst, looking sidewise. I will have him yanked up before the commission and dealt with in the proper manner. The nerve of such a thing. Why, say, in New York his star would last about five min- utes after he was caught monkeying with something that didn't concern him. Oh, you wait. I’ll give Sergeant Bethel a tip on what he is supposed to do asa police- man. It doesn’t make a bit of difference who it is, 1 won’t permit such actions to be carried on for a minute. It will be stopped, you can assure yourself of that.” “Is it true, Mr. Gunst, that you favored Wittman for Chief at one time?"” “Itis not. Now, put this down just as I say it: I regard Chief Crowley as one of the most efficient and honorable men who ever lived-in this City. I would never think of having anybody else for Chief, and no matter where I go, in all parts of the United States, the first thing I hear from police circles is ‘How is Chief Crow- ley?” He is looked us)on with respect and he deserves It. I will never, so longas I am a Commissioner, agree to change the Chief of the San Francisco police. Have you got that down? AllTight. You can tay that with a little young blood among the captains and a little civil service re- form among the policemen, he will have the best force of men in the United States at his back. I guess that covers the Crowley point. *‘Oh, another thing I would like to have you touch upon is this,” and Mr. Gunst Ku]led a crumpled piece of ‘paper out of is pocket that contained the information that he was striving to be a political bos “Now that is the worst I ever heard,” sumed the Commissioner. *I am a cigar- dealer and not a politician. You couldn’t et me to be a gulitical boss in this town or $50,000 cash in advance every year. Another thing, I'm not fitted for it. I never was a politician and don’t ever ex- ect to be. Here in the Police Commission do not consider polities, but try to do the best possible good for the protection of San Francisco. That’s the way it should be. I want it distinctly understood that I am no politician though, above all things.”” “Who will succeed Wittman, Gillen and Robinson as sergeants ™ We talked “Now that I aon’t know. very little over that before I departed for the East and nothing was arranged. I suppose they will be taken from among the corporals who are, I believe, the next in rank. You see there are a good many details to be entered into before we center upon any one man. The records have got to be examined and the best man will get his place. I believe in civil service reform and particularly in police circles where the very best men we have are necessary. - “You know I have not seen the other Commissioners since my return, but I guess what I've said is about correct. If any changes had been made in the programme I would have kiown something about it and nothing new has occured. One thin you can bet on, and that is what I sai about Bethel. He has got to ao just what is expected of him and no more.” We are going to have reform and he might as well get wind of that fact now as any time." NINE MONTHS MARRIED., W. H. Merklinger, a Barber, Arrested for Brutally Beating His Young Wife, William H. Merklinger, a barber, was arrested yesterday on a warrant sworn out in Judge Low's court by his wife, charging him with battery. They are both young, and Mrs. Merklinger, who lives at 742 Howard street, told a story of cruelty that was almost incredible. ‘“Before we were married,” she said, “my husband was very loving and atten- tive, but we were only married a month when he began to beat me. We were first married by a Justice of the Peace, about nine months ago, but my mother insisted upon our being married afterward by a gzidest. He warned me mnot to tell any- y we were married by a vriest, as he did not want s relatives to know. “His sister came from Virginia City about a week ago, and she asked my mother about our m-n‘ilie. who told her we had been first married by a Justice of the Peace and later by a priest. His sister told him, and when he came home he would have been gutted and the entire | cargo ruined. About a year ago the steamer Corona, | owned by the same corporation, was dis- | covered to be on fire while lying at the | Broadway dock. Her hold was pumped | half full of water, and after the blaze was | outan examination showed that a box of “matches’’ shipped as ‘*‘Japanese ware' had caused the blaze. At that time a stringent order to shi[{pcrs was sent out and the rule was generally obeyed. When the Santa Rosa fire was reported to the office a special detective was put on the | case, and as a result an information has been filed against Solomon. Captain | Goodall and Senator Perkins are deter- mined to push the case against him. HEALTH OFFICE CHANGES, The New Board Wields the Ax Deftly and With Unani- mity. Happersberger Succeeds Regens- burger—Dr. Conlan Goes to the Almshouse. Things went smoothly and rapidly in the meeting of the Board of Health yes- terday, and so did the City’s servants whom they decapitated. It was unani- mous all through, for it seemed to have been arranged just what was what and there was no opposition to anything. There were present Mayor Sutro and Dre. ritzgibbon, Hart and Williamson. Dr. Hart first moved that the Mayor ap- point a finance committee, and " he a pointed Drs. Fitzgibbon, Hart and Wil- iamson. Dr. Hart then moved that the position of resident physician of the Almshouse, now occupied by Dr. MacPherson, be de- clared vacant. It was carried. Dr. Wil- liamson moved to appoint Dr. William C. Conlan to the place, and it was done. Dr. Fitzgibbon moved to declare vacant the position of _disinterment inspector, now held by Dr. Regensburger. This was done, and then, upon Dr. Hart’s motion, Dr. A. K. Happersberger was placed in the varanci‘. Dr. Hart moved to make vacant Dr. Eidenmuller’s position as assistant city iwhysiciun, and in the opéning thus made Dr. J. R. McMurdo was placed by Dr. Fitzgibbon’s motion. Dr. Fitzgibbon then moved to oust Steward Trewin of the City Receiving Hospital, and then Dr. Hart moved to ap- point Dr. C. Buchers. Both went through without opposition, Dr. Hart then lumped two places and moved to declare both matrons of the Re- ceiving Hospital out of a job. By Dr. Fitzgibbon’s motion Mrs. Rose Keen was made day nurse in place of Mrs. G. E. Brown, and by Dr. Hart’s motion Mis. Edmunds was made to succeed herself as ni{_ht nurse. o 'he ax then being dull, the board ad- journed until Tuesday, Augusts. 1t is not likely that the decapitated offi- cials will give up their positions without a struggle. “Already there is talk of a pos- sible contest, and those interested are NO- PERCENTAGE PHARMACY, 953 MARKET ST, SOUTH SIDE, Bet.

As a matter of fact; the same section of the statute which gives the board power to make appointments Jimits its power of re- moval as follows: The ‘appointing power aforesaid is vested solely in said BDlrdpof Health, and said board shall have power to prescribe the duties of said appointees, and shall not remove the same without just cause. Thz heads of departments sppointed by the Board of Health, to wit, the ealth Officer, resident physician of the City and County Hospitel and superintendent of Almshouse, shall not be removed except by a concurrence of four members of said Board of Health. 1t is argued that the Board of Health never goes out of office though the person- nel of its membership may change, and that inasmuch as the removals were made without any *‘just_cause’” the board’s ac- tion is illegal and will not survive a con- test. ———————— New Railways in the South. General Superintendeni Fillmore returned vesterday from Southern California, where he had spent a few days with H. E. Huntington and Chief Engineer Hood of the Southern Pacific Company. He stated yesterday that the new branch railroad from s Angeles to Pasadena has been completed. though the depots and stations were not quite ready to accommodate passengers. However, the line will be ready _for operation about the middle of August. “Work will begin on the Covena branck of the company’s system in Southern California this week. Mme.
