8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, ¥KIUAY, AUGUS v, 1590, T0 SAVE HANSEN'S LIFE A Strong Appeal to President Cleveland Is Being Prepared. THE DANISH CONSUL'S LETTER. Hopes of Success Based on the Dissenting Opinion of two Supreme Justices. The attorneys who defended Hansen, St. Clair and Sparf in the United States courts when these three sailors were tried for the murder of Mate Fitzgerald of the bark Hesper have begun the preparation of an appeal to President Cleveland on behalf of Hans Hansen. They are quite sanguine in their faith that sufficient cause can be shown to influence the Nation’s chief exec- utive to at least commute Hansen’s punish- ment to imprisonment for life. Hansen was resentenced a few days ago by Judze McKenna to be hanged at San Quentin prison on the 18th of October, and St. Clair also has been condemned to death on the gallows. Sparf was granted a new trial by the United States Supreme Court and acauitted in May. The decision of the Supreme Court has just been received here. It covers 133 pages of the closely printed book and is said by attorn to be one of the longest ever rendered. In it is embodied the dissenting opinion of v and Shiras,which Attorne Smith and Frank Kie g the defense, believe Wil ght with the President in his consideration of the appeal to be pre- sented for Hansen. Justices Gray and Shiras maintain that the decision of the lower court should not hold for the reason that the Judge erred in his instructions to the jury in directing the twelve men to find Hansen guilty of murder or nothing. It is held by those dissenting Supreme Justices that the court should not decide the question of degree of the crime—that should be determined by the jury. The jury that tried Hansen was inclined to find’ him guilty of manslaughter, and spent several hours discussing such a ver- dict, but on returning to court were in- formed that the evidence demanded a verdict of murder, provided the jury should find the defendant guilty. The in- structions were then taken as imperative by the jurors, who found Hansen guilty of murder. Had the case been submitted to them with instructions on the facts in- stead of degree of the crime, some of tne jurymen have since declared that they would have returned a verdict of man- slaughter. This fact in itself will be put forward in the petition with all possible force, as it is hoped it may result in saving the condemned man’s life. The Danish Consul has taken an in- terest in Hansen, and bas written for in- formation on the subject to Mr. Kierce, with a request for a prompt reply It is still claimed by the defense and those interested in young Hansen that, gh legally un accessory to the assas- sination of Mate Fitzgerald, he did not imagine that the chief conspirator had in- tended murder. As brought out in the evidence he was told by St. Clair that the sailors wanted to give the mate a beating, and to inveigle the mate forward Hansen had to lower a sail. While pulling in the sail the mate went forward, and it was then that Han- sen saw him felled by S8t. Clair with an ax. With this evidence before it the jury felt that the lesser crime suited Hansen’s case, but found him guilty of murder under the impression that manslaughter would not be legally correct. FOR THE ATLANTA FAIR. Assurances From Many Quarters Make the Success of the Board of Trade Exhibit Assured. At the recent State convention of county Supervisors nearly all of the delegates practically pledged their counties for a subscription to a fund to send a fine ex- hibit of California products to the Atlanta Exposition. Notwithstanding this there are a number of counties that will not con- tribute a cent to advertising the State. These counties are Fresno, Butte, San Ma- teo, Solano, Orange, Yuba and Santa Cruz. Those that have subscribed are San Fran- cisco $1000, Senta Clara $500, Glenn $250, Contra Costa $250, Kern $150, Colusa $150, Sacramento , Yolo $100. No action upon the matter has been taken by the Supervisors of Placer, Napa, Mendocino, and Shasta counties, but the county rrite that they expect that favora- ble action will be taken. At the conven- tion nine counties pledged $3250 and with the Chamber of Commerce’s subscription of $250 and the money donated by the fore- going counties there is $3900 now in sight. With $2000 more assured the work of pack- ing the exhibit will be begun. A committee from the Manufacturers’ and. Producers’ Association called upon Secretary Filcher yesterday and assured him of the association’s hearty co-opera- tion in the matter of forwarding a fine exhibit to Atlanta. They said that the lack of funds must nct stand in the way even if the manufacturers have to sub- scribe enough to make up the balance. Many of the associations are expecting to exhibit products of California manufac- turers. The State Mining Bureau has promised to pack a fine collection of all kinds of specimens of California minerals for the Board of Trade exhibit. This, with- the specimens owned by the board, will make a splendid showing of minerals. Irving M. Scott has promised to con- tribute to the collection fine large models of the cruiser San Franciscoand the steam- ship Peru. Secretary Carman of the Half-million Club will send to all of the interior cities of 1500 inhabitants asking for pictures of interesting and appropriate scenes, etc., of each locality. These are for the stereopti- con slides for the illustrated lectures on California that will be delivered during the Atlanta Exposition. Many slides have been obtained already, and Mr. Carman is greatly pleased with a handsome set of seventy-five slides donated by THE CALL. GOETHE-SCRILLER MONUMENT. German Citizens Preparing a Huge Festival to Complete the Fund. The German citizens of San Francisco are preparing for a grand festival in the Mechanics’ Pavilion from the 5th of No- vember to the 9th. A call has been issued by the general committee of the Goethe- Schiller Monument Association to all Ger- man associations, citizensand young people of German extraction, and. in fact, to all interested in German literature, inviting them to join the association and make the festival a success. The call sets forth that the people on many occasions have made similar festivals a grand success. It has been frequently suggested tnat some last- ing monument or commemoration of those occasions be made by the Germans. That desire took a definite shape on German day at the recent Midwinter Fair. Then it was suggested that the Germans erect in Golden Gate Park a grand monu- ment to the memory of those two lights of German literature. The surplus of the net proceeds of German day at the fair made a nucleus for such a fund. The festival at the Pavilion will be rep- resentative to a great extent of scenes and characters of the poetical and dramatic works of Goethe and Schiller. Next week the samne call will be made to all German societies on the coast. As a keynote to the circular is a quotation from Goethe, which freely translated is: “The country of the poet is all that is good, noble and beautiful. and is notlimited by the province or country of his nativity.”” Great atten- tion will be paid to_the artistic features of the festival, and with less regard to econ- omy than heretofore. The . last fair realized $33,000, and only $10,000 more is wanted for the object in view. SAN FRANCISCO ENVELOPES. A New Industry Will Soon Be in Opera- tion Here. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Asso- ciation bas been looking up the commer- cial patronage of the State officers, and as a result the following letter was yesterday sent by Assistant Secretary Dingle to A. J. Johnson, Superintendent of the State Printing Office at Sacramento: o Information has reached this office that in supplying the State printing department with inks Eastern brands exclusively are used. We are further informed that in the State of Cali- fornia there are manufactured brands of rinting inks equal, if not superior, to any oreign brand, and at a much lower price than that now being paid by the State department. We therefore would most respectfully urge you in purchasing supplies for your department to give California manufactured articles full consideration and where price and quality are equal the preference. Please let me hear from you by return mail on this subject. A week ago THE CALL published a letter from a firm in Milwaukee, who desire to establish an envelope factory on this coast. That letter woke up_the Pacific Folding- box Company of 14 Fremont street. This company has for some time past been con- templating the manufactureof commercial envelopes and fearing that an Eastern company would enter the field decided at once to send East for a large plant for this industry. An agent for this class of machinery stated to Secretary Mead that he is figuring upon plants for two other envelope factories that contemplate start- ing up in this City ot vicinit; Several letters have been sent by Cali- fornia pipe organ builders to Rev. Edward Allen of St. Ignatius College making offers to build the big organ to be put in that institution., OUR SCHOOLS AT ATLANTA A Fair Lot of Photographs Will Be Sent There After All Superintendent Moulder Has Stayed the Patronage War and Gone Ahead. San Francisco is to have a magnificent photographic display of schools and school- work at the Atlanta Exposition after all, and it promises to be one that, in spite of recent difficulties, will be second to the school exhibits of few other cities. The idea of making a huge photographic school exhibit at Atlanta originated with the Bureau of Education at Washington, and the Commissioners of Education quickly secured the approval and co- operation of school authorities all over the United States. Superintendent Moulder here entered heartily into the scheme, and everybody concerned, including the Board of Education, approved the idea. To have all the best things in the San Francisco schools photographed, it was necessary to have an ‘“official photo- grapher’” who would, as is usual in school photography, charge the department noth- ing, but get his pay by selling copies of the pictures. When the selection of this official picture-man came up at the last meeting of the board, there were three canaidates for the plum, with energetic backers, and the result was a merry pat- ronage row, which ended in the board ad- journing without B;Huoimmgun_vnody, and it seemed that San Francisco would have no exhibit at all. But Superintendent Moulder - went energetically aheadto get up an exhibit himself, and_yesterday, with the private approval of President H. L. Dodge of the board, he effected arrangements that will make the exhibit a success unless more “kickers” arise. First he diplomatically arranged the main difculty by getting the three photographers to divide the work. Each of the three is to take 120 views 8 by 10 inches in size, and the terri- tory has been divided somehow. Yesterday Mr. Moulder sent out to all principals a circular explaining things, giving instructions and suggestions and urging their best efforts to aid the work. A paragraph of the circular suggests the nature and interest of the disp It says: “You will observe that the aim is not to limit our display to views of the children in their ordinary classes, but to show, as far as photography will germiz. the special features of interest which ‘we have intro- duced into our school system. They will attract attention.” Among the things beside our best school buildings that will be portrayed at At- lanta are the following: Cadetsin uniform at Lowell High School: boys and girls under military drill as at Horace Mann School; classes under in- struction in physical culture; girl exercis- ing at calisthenics; manual training classes in carpentry, etc., with boys in aprons at their benches, tools in hand; sewing classes and attachments with the girls at work; cooking classes showing girls before their gas-stoves, utensils in hand; interior views of machinery, work-benches, etc,, in Polytechnic High School with boys at work; modeling classes and some of their work; laboratories in the Girls’ and the Lowell High schools; chak drawings of special merit_on blackboards; grounds and sur- roundings of schoolhouses. Mr. Moulder has received an interesting letter from the Commissioner of Education stating that in view of the delay here spec- ial arrangements for receiving the San Francisco exhibit will be made. SHE WANTED TO TALK. Miss Baddeley, a Witness in Worthington Case, Attempts a Jury Address. Miss Mary Baddeley was a witness in the trial of Mrs. Worthington yesterday, and she created a scene by attempting to deliver an address to the jury. Attorneys Haskell and Guilfoyle, rep- resenting Mrs. Worthington, promptly the objected, and nearly everybody concerned in the case began to talk at once. *‘My brother—"’ began Miss Baddeley. “I object!” shouted Haskell. “Your Honor—" said Guilfoyle. “Don’t speak!” was Assistant District Black’s instruction to the witness. And when order had been restored Judge Wallace instructed the witness that she would have to leave the talking in the ¢ase to the attorneys. In the preceding trial Miss Baddeley at- tempted to assault Attorney Haskell on account of a question he asked about Harry Baddeley, and the entire family ;nimd with her. Her excitement was simi- arly displayed against ex-Judge Ferral in the first trial. All the testimony in the case has been taken, and the arguments will be com- menced on Monday morning. iz i Charges Against a Guardian, Cecilia M. Turre, Ophelia"Turre and Beatrice Turre have filed an objection to the account of their guardian, Adam Karl. They say the guardian occupied property owned by them at 105 Devisadero street, and that. he pays a rent of onx;x_a;ls a month, though he ought to pay £50. h%y also say that he improperly charges household goods against their accounts. Typewriters for Cogswell College. The Cogswell Polytechnic College of San Francisco decided to open shorthand and type- writing classes. All typewriters were inspected and thom\:ghly tested, and the directors placed an order with Leo £, Alexander & Bro., 18 Sansome street, for eleven (11) late-im- roved New No. 2 Smith Premier. The New No.2 Smith is the highest model of improve- ments in the art of typewriting. » INFISH AND GLUE BURG, A Visit to Two Thriving Home Industries Beyond Tibu-~ ron Landing. DR, LYFORD'S PET ELYSIUM. A Description of California City. Works Operated by Trusted Employes. ‘While crossing the bay I had often won- dered what untold mysteries those grace- fully rounded brown hills adjacent to Tiburon landing would reveal. So, one day, urged by a love of wild beauty and an irresistible desire to penetrate the mys- teries of the old Mexican grant, known as the Rancho Corte de Madera del Presidio, 1 left the wharf and traveled in an easterly direction until confronted by an invincible barrier, an iron gateway. The road at this point is walled on the left by a precipitous bank, while to the right it is flanked by an abrupt chasm making a fortification as in- accessible as Gibraltar to the hiaden realm. The formidable doors were soon thrown | nails being used in their construction, as yards as they stand to-day, one of the most complete in the country. This station | comprises fifty acres of upland and three acres of tide land, over which are scattered a number of houses for the accommodation of the employes—a messroom, & summer cottage for the firm and one for the over- seer, including boathouses and various other - buildings, all of which are either whitewashed or painted white. A fertile | orchard and fine vegetable garden furnish provisions to a certain extent; ten Jersey cows supply butter and milk; 150 hogs and 300 hens produce pork, poultry and ~eggs, all of which are consumed at this place. The main building, an oblong structure, 150x100 feet, is flanked by low-roofed sheds and nearly covers the pile wharf upon which it is built. _I passed through the center of this spa- cious storehouse (which has a capacity of 1200 tons of salted fish) to the edge of the wharf, where the barkentines Fremont, commanded by Captain Bowers, the Jane A. Falkenberg, by Captain Falkman, and the - schooner Arago, by Captain Stans- land, were discharging their cargoes, en- tering the hold of the Jane A. Falkenberg. I walked over that sea of salt, which the captain informed me covered 107,000 fish. These vessels left for the Bering Sea last April and arrived at their moorings last :\'qek, makl‘rilg the quickesl: codfishing rip on record, the entire catch aggregatin, 350,000 cod. " g Thisis a_thriving California 1ndustry, which employs from thirty to seventy-tive men the year around, and the process of curing deegly interested me. The fish were pitched on to the wharf into big tubs, where twenty-four men were engaged in washing them. Then they were wheeled in barrows to the huge tanks, which are made of dovetailed planks, no bolts or CITY WHARF. THE BARKENTINES FREMONT AND JANE A, CHARGING THEIR CARGOES OF CODFISH AT CALIFORNIA [Sketched by a * Call” artist.] FALEENBERG DIS- open and Dr. Lyford, retired physician, inventor and owner of this vast Tiburon tract, invited me to enter his jealously guarded domain. Together we proceeded along Mar East street, which skirts the sea and winds in and out adorning the hills with graceful curves. Then the doctor re- luctantly related some of his heretofore concealed plans. ~I have traveled,” said e, “‘all aver the world in search of a place where I might find a combination of climate and loca- tion, and this is my choice,” he added, indicating with a gesture the hundreds of acres which spread before our view. It ap- peared that for many years he had been working with the unswerving intention of converting the property into an Elysium, and had already spent a fabulous amount in beautifying and protecting nature’s most brilliant effort in landscape garden- ing by fashioning his Spanish-named streets to follow the contour lines of land and shore at a gradual elevation, so that fatigue may not overcome the traveler. On the contrary, each step in advance brings forth a broader view of nature and thrills one with renewed energy of both body and mind. Ilearned that years ago the moneyed e of Ran Praiiciacn) Bagt hhey kder Iy alive to this matchless location so free from fogs and winds, and_desired to build magnificent homes on this sunny promon- tory; but their princely offers had been re- fused by the owner, who guarded well his intention to one day make these miles of the rust would injure the fish. These | tanks have a capacity of fifteen tons each, | and here the hsh lie in pickle until ready | for use, then they are taken to the flake yards—which will spread nine tons of cod. When thoroughly dry they are | carried to the skinningand packing rooms, | which are managed by John Gulliver, an | employe of the firm for eigMteen years. The upper floor of the receiving-house is used for the sail-loft and storage-rooms for fishing gear, etc. J.

He is very eccentric and | for years has decorated his boots with relics of his travels, and never looks so picturesque or thoroughly at home as when carrying a milkpail on his arm. This plant is well supplied with water, fresh water being distiibuted over the grounds and through the buildings by | ripes filled from a reservoir, which is 180 | feet above the wharf and contains 1,500,000 | gallons. Salt water for pickling purposes | is furnished by a wind pump on the wharf.

K “Just what it is,” he naively replied— “Lyford’s Hygeia, or Goddess of Health.” At length we reached the top of the rus- set hill which overlooks Raccoon Straits, where the glorious view had widened into an imposing panorama. At the rear queenly old Tamalpais sits enthroned, with her coronation robes falling in sym- metrical folds of shady ravines and mel- low-brown slopes to the water’'s edge. In front green-coated Angel Island lifts her crest a sentinel guarding this favored spot from the harsh winds, while San Fran- cisco and her suburban cities nestle among the hills near the gray, unquiet bay, rock- ing the great ships in her restless lap. Altogether, the romantic effect of the whole *‘sets one a-dreaming.” 1 wandered on alone now, rambling over hill and dale, scrambling through chapar- ral until I had reached the loftiest point of a steep hill which overlooks a little white city over 200 feet below. Determined to explore this attractive place, I decended in a zigzag manner to what is most com- monly known as California City, and the curing station of the Pioneer Fish Ware- house of the Pacific Coast. owned by Lynde & Hough Company. Old settlers affirm, however, that the name of California City was applied to a site further up the bay, whose foundations crumbled ere they were finished, and now George W. Crowell, the superintendent of the warehouse, is dub- bed the mythical Mayor of a mythical city. However that may be, it is one of the most remarkable cities in the country in that it is settled exclusively by men—not & woman or child living withiu its borders. This station was established in 1872 and in 1891 a new coni?.lny was incorporsted, ad- mitting L. E. Noonan, who has been iden- tified with the firm for the past twenty- Inine years, having helped to build the | Samuel L. Merchant. One can readily per- ceive the thriftiness of this village when informed that nothing is wasted; for the Union Glue Company purchases the refuse from the fish warehouse, and after passing through soaking tanks by a chemical pro- cess the gelatine is extracted and converted into liquid glue. The residue is then made into a fish fertilizer which is used exten- sivele" throughout the State on fruit ranches. The glue is sent _to this City, to the company’s canning and bottling works on Pine street, and from there it is shipped all over the United States and Europe. The fact of this glue being used in prefer- ence to other brands on furniture exposed to the weather at the Midwinter Fair is a strong testimonial in favor of this one of California’s young industries. This plant gives employment to from five to ten men throughout the year. I now wandered back to the fishyards afum, passing through a well-kept garden of flowers, and entered the packing-rooms once more, where the fish is prepared for shipment and conveyed to the City by the steam launch Starlight (named by a friend of Mr. Hough), the crew comprising Cap- tain Gaffeney and Engineer William Mur- phv. Upon arriving at San Francisco it is delivered to the Union Kish Company. From there it is distributed all over the State and to all of the State institutions, exc eft the Napa Insane As;lum, which is supplied by fish from Puget Sound. Shipments are made to Australia, Central America, New Zealand and throughout the States. All of the leading Chicago grocers handle the codfish, paying a quar- ter of a cent more on the pound than for the Eastern produet. F.B. W. THE FIRST COLUMBARIUM, 0dd Fellows’ Cemetery to Have a Place for the Ashes of Incin- erated Dead. The plans are being drawn for a colum- barium, which is soon to be erected in the 0dd Fellows’ Cemetery. This will be the first structure of its kind on the coast, and the style of architecture will be along the most modern lines for buildings of that character. “With the completion and active opera- tion of the crematory, the need of a build- ing of this kind became apparent,” said Superintendent George R. FYelcher yester- day. “A columbarium, as its name indi- cates, is a building where the urns con- taining the ashes of incinerated bodies are placed. There will be 10,000 receptacles or niches for the jars, so it is easily seen that the structure will be of suflicient size to ac- commodate all demands for many years to come. These niches will be built in tiers, accessible by platforms constructed one above the other. Under each niche will be a place for the name, age, date of death and such other inscription as might be de- sired. “The buildin, Fmp" will be of brick and cement, and the interior finishings af a plain yet attractive character. 1t is pro- posed to commence work within the next thirty days, in order that it may be finished before the rainy season. The building complete will cost $40,000.” STOCKHOLDERS AROUSED. Scandal in the Consolidated California and Virginia Mine. The Superintendent Accused of Withholding Information for the Chosen Few. Many stockholders of the Consolidated California and Virginia Mining Company are dissatisfied with the conduct of Super- intendent Lyman. They assert that im- portant information is often concealed from the large body of stockholdersand imparted only to a favored few at head- quarters. The grievance of the complaints is set forth in the following communica- tion from Edward L. Spring, who speaks for himself and others: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., August 8, 1895. To_the President end Directors of the Consoli- dated Culifornia and Virginia Mining Company Nevada block, San Francisco, Cal.: GENTLEMEN In April and May, 1894, we were informed by D. B. Lyman, our superintendent at virginia City, in Storey County, Nevada, where the mine of this company is situated, that a large body of ore had been cut, lying upon the west wall on the 1650 level of the mipe, from which it was expected that many dividends would be paid. Atthat time we read in the reports of our superintendent that he was cutting the body of the ore into 14-footlevels, running these levels from the outside of the body of orea considerable distance through barren material thereby wasting the money of the company in unprofitable and useless” work, whereas we believe it would have been the correct way of working to have sunk a winze through the body of ore to ascertain 'its depth and. by so doing saved the money of the company for the benefit of the shareholders. We have since been informed upon good au- thority that our superintendent at that time and since was actively in the stock market buying and selling the shates of the company, and from the policy pursued we have been fearful that the working of the mine might have been carried on in such a way as to affect the value of the shares of the company for stock Exchange purposes. We have been further informed that brokers end other parties living in San Francisco and elsewhere have been given private information by our superintendent, which information did not u}zpenr in his official reports, or if it did ap- pear in the official reports of the company, it did not appear for some days after it had been given to the private individuals, and that the ofticial information at times given by our su- erintendent has been ambiguous ard mis- eading. We therefore respectfully request of you: First — That you ask our superintendent whether or not he has been an active operator in the buying and selling of the shares of this company since April 1, 1894, and to what ex- tent he has been a buyer and seller of such shares, and to, if possible, ascertain from him the dates of his transactions in the shares of this company. Second—That you aseertain whether or not the slicing up of the body of ore referred to was done at such times 8s might have in- creased the value of the shares in the market or at a time when it wounld have had a ten- dency to destroy the value of the same: and, 1ailing to ascertain this, that you give us an opportunity to present before you evidence which might tend to show that Mr. Lyman, our superintendent, has not been & competent man for that position and that he has done injury 1o the property which you represent, as irus- tees, and which property is really the property of the shareholders, and ought to be protected and worked for their benefit. Third—That 1n the event of it being ascer- tained by you that our superintendent is in- competent, or that he has been using the knowledge of the mine for the gllu‘po!e! of bearing or bulling the market, that he will then be dischnrfied from his positiou of superin- tendent and that some competent mining man ill be placed in charge of the mine of this company at Virginia City. ‘We beg to give you notice that in the event of our present superintendent remainimg in charge of the mine at Virginia City and infor- mation being continued 10 be given to private parties and withheld or kept back from the official reports, we then will hold you respon- sible for all damagos which may come to us by Teason of the acts of our superintendent. n conclusion we wish to say that we believe that you have not a full knowledge of the acts of our superintendent at the mine and his speculations in the stock, and we therefore take this means of bringing it to your knowl- edFe in order that you may investigate every- thing done at an early date, and give to the shareholders of the mine such relief as the merits of their case’ may warrant. Very re- spectiully yours, EDWARD 5. SPRING. Representing for himself the stock upon record upon the books of the company, and also that of the stockholders who are in favor of what Mr. Spring says and does. The foregoing communication was trans- mitted to the company’s office yesterday. Under the law _the stockholders are enti- tled to the information desired. Mr. Spring says that if the president and di- rectors refuse to comply with the request made the law will be invoked to assist the stockholders. . New Corporations.
