The Valuable Discovery of John Stalker, a Chemist in a Belfast Linen Factery. Secretary Matckie of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad received a létter yesterday from . his cousin, John Stalker, 1n Belfast, Ireland,informing him that the writer had discovered a remedy for the phylloxera pest. Mr. Stalker is a chemist of considerable eminence in the British Isles.. He was chosen hy the English Government to lec- | ture_in the Technical Institute of Belfast for a long period, and: resigned to pursue his favorite task in the.chemical depart- ment of & linen. and woolen factory. For years he has been dealing with chemistry in its application to manufacturing, and in that direction has ac¢complished remarka- le results which have placed him in quite n eminent position. In the course of his experimental work Mr. Stalker discovered a chemical compound that has proved ab- solutely successful in eradicating insects, parasites and the phylloxera from trees and vines. s His letter contained a glowing account ALL A QUESTION OF FEES,| A Lively War Waged in the San Francisco Medi- cal Society. CODE - OF ETHICS INVOLVED. Dr. Kuhlman’s Resolutions Agalnst the Dollar-a- Month Socletles. There will be a lively time at the next ‘meeting of the S8an Francisco Medical So- ciety over some resolutions offered at the meeting last Tuesday by Dr. Kuhiman. They recite that the polyclinies and dis- pensaries, which are supposed to treat only | patients who cannot afford to pay, are not making any discriminations, and that all, rich and poor, are treated free, or for at most the cost of medicines, and further that those doctors who accept positions from the benefit societies, whose members, THE LORD TEMPLEMORE AND MANYDOWN, 165 DAYS EACH FROM SWANSEA, [Sketched by @ “ Call ™ artist.] days the terrible seas assaulted the vessel. washing the decks, throwing. the braces and other gear from the pins where 1t was belayed and driving the coils through the ports overboard. The houses and other fittings apout the ‘deck being ' iron they could not be wrecked, but the deck was often flooded to the top of the rails, and often aloft in the swaying, tauten- ing *.and slackening rigging of the storm-beaten ship was the only refuge of the crew working her through the tempest. | Several of the men were_severely injured by the incessant - pounding of the wild, heavy seas on the decks and -once when a main brace carried away, letting the big iron yard swing and jump back - and forth in the fury of the gale and the mad spring of the vessel, the men hesitated to go aloft under the great spar, fearing it would part its slings and come down. It was a gap ful period, as the fall of the yard with its tons of metal would have ‘' mashed the bul- warks or have gone through the deck planking, causing the ship to fill and founder. The broken brace was finally se- cured and the spar steadied. The first blow they encountered stripped the ship of the mizzen upper and lower topgallant sails, foresail, fore and maintop sall and foretopmast s 1. While they were bending a new maintopsail the main- topmast staysai! went out of the bolt- ropes. In a few days a still heavier gale completely stripped the ship of every sail on her. If blew so hard ams) so long that the canvas snugly furled on the yards was whipped out from under the gaskets and blown away. In all these days and nights of black, howling tempest the noble ship never lost'a man, boat or spar. She just bent down to the force of the gale and plowed. through the seas when she could not go over them. Finally she escaped from the : storm- scourged latitudes and with light breezes | came smoothly up the peaceful parallels to port. The Lord Templemore is an Irish ship and her house-flag is a white shamrock on a blue field. She was built at Belfast in 1892 by Harland & Wolff for the: Irish Herlength is 336 feet, breadth 45 feet, and depth 28. feet. Her tonnage is about 3000 tons register, but her capacity is upward of 4000 tons. She is commanded by Captain T. McWilliams; who was the first officer during-a former voyage to this port. The officers are: First mate, J. McCracken; second, R. Mussen; third, J. P. Kiernan. Mrs. McWilliams, her daughter and sister are passengers on the vessel. The ship fManydown, which arrived Thursday from Swansea, sailed the day after the Templemore and came in port the day before the latter ship. There is no little conjecture just. where the Many- down passed her slower sister, and alse that as the three-master is known to be a much faster traveler why she did not out- sail the other, besieged by storms, a couple of weeks. The Spreckels tug Alert reported yester- day that the bark Enoch Talbot, which left here for the north last Saturday, is be- calmed about twenty-eight miles south of Point Lobos. When Captain Brokaw of the tug spoke the bark she was headed in- shore, and, as before, her captain refused a tow, preferring to kedge off sgain. The Enoch Talbot was caught in close to shore up the coast a few weeks ago and was taxed $750 for a tow, and her skipper vows he will never patronize another tug. Yesterday papers were filed in the United States District: Court to have the sealing schooner Bowhead confiscated. She was seized by the customs officials last Tuesday, charged with taking seals within rohibited waters without the necessary icense. Captain Noyes pleaded that he sailed in 1894 before the licenses were issued by the Treasury Department, and that after learning of the issuance of the permits he had applied for one, but being at sea dia not receive the paper. COLVER HAS BEEN SUSPENDED. The Mail Clerk Who Talked About Su- perintendent Flint in'Trouble. Fred E. Colver, the railway mail clerk who has made so much trouble for Super- intendent Flint, is in trouble with the authorities at Washington. Chief Post- office Inspector Monroe has been investi- gating the matter for some time, and his the Railway Mail Service nearly a fort- i . Whatever may be the final out- e is certain—Colver has been ded, and the next step is expected :t‘; !t?:[l;is dismissal from the service. The order of suspension came direct to Superintendent 8. Flint, and was issued erintendent of the Raiiway mes E. White, and wasalso Second Assistant Postmaster- signed by ! eilson. of the success of 'his discovery. A friend of his had already formed a partnership with-him; and together they secured . pat- ents in France, Spain, Italy and England, the last of which protects the. discovery for thirteen months in the United States, and built a large factory in Liverpool. to manufacture the stuff. "France has made a standing offer of 300,000 francs for a remedy For phylloxera, and this, Mr. Stalker stated, he believed would soon be his. The chemical compound will shortly. be introduced into California, justas an‘ex- periment on the vineyards that are men- aced by ph{lloxem, and subsequently as an article of commerce. INDICTED FOR FORGERY, E. S. Cattley, Who Robbed P. George Gow, Will Be Ar- rested at Honolulu. The Vancouver Steamship Will Get There Before Cattley Arrives on the Salling Vessel. The long arm of the law is =earching out for E. 8. Cattley, the young man who man- aged to gain the confidence of a fellow- countryman, P. George Gow, on a recent journey across. the continent. For two weeks or more he enjoved the companion- ship and hospitality of Mr. Gow at his club, in the woods and at other places, and then robbed his host in the meanest man- ner imaginable. As related in Tme CaLr, he went to Gow’s apartments on Taylor street and, presenting to the landlady a letter pur- porting to be from Gow, secured the latter’s baggage, wearing apparel, gun, traps and gold samples. ‘The samples were valued at $400, and Catiley obained $300 for the col- lection at Selby’s assay office. The day after the robbery was perpe- trated Cattley engaged passage for Hono- lulu on the barkentine Wilder and de- parted.. Befare leaving 3an Francisco he made himself 80 agreeable and interesting to many of Mr. Gow’s young friends in so- ciety that one of them gave him a letter requesting the -captain of the barkentine to make the passage of Cattley as delight- ful as circumstances would permit. Cattley had- stated repeatedly that -he was a_brother-in-law of the British Vice- Consul at Honalulu and the friend of others equally well known in the capital of Ha- waii and:- so obtained favorable consider- ation. Cattley, with all of his shrewdrness as a swindler, did not take into calculation the power of steam on the ocean. While he 1s sailing away on the Wilder, enjoying the sweet illusion that he is traveling in advance of his record, a detective from San Francisco with papers for his arrest is speeding by steamer from Tacoma to Honolulu, and will get to- Hawaii before the Wilder is nightef. Last Monday the Grand Jury of San Francisco found two indictments against Catiley—orne for forgery and the other for embezzlement. - Moreover .another letter ha:sona to the captain of the barkentine Wilder. It will be placed in his hands im- mediately on his arrival at Honolulu. It will convey to'the captain the inlormation that Cattley is a scamp, a robber and ad- venturer. A letter also zoes by steamer to the British Vice-Consul, wherein that functionary “is informed that Cattley in San Francisco represented himself as his brotrer-in-law, and on such representation obtained kindness, courtesy and-hospital- ity which he shamefully abused. In short, the whole story of the methodsemployed to rob -Mr.Gow is_told to her Majesty's Consular representative in Hawaii. To make dounbly sure that Cattley shail not get nwag, the Hawaiian authorities are notified that be ~has arms and muni- tions of war in _his possession, for he took Gow’s beautiful shog)un and some ammu- nition for the same. : ‘When Cgfiay steps ashore at Honoluln, arrayed in Gow’s finest English attire, the long arm of the law will take him by the collar. and. lead him to jail. He will be confronted by the proofs of his crime, and if some of the cleverest work is not done in his behalf by Hawaiian attorneys he will be brought to. San Francisco on extradi- tion papers.

Several Letters of Appreciation From the Merchants’ Association. Ata recent meeting of the Merchants’ Association a letter was sent to John A, Russell, clerk of the Board of Supervisors, thanking him for the courtesy received at his hands by the association. Among other things the letter says: The bocrd of directors is sensible of the fact that to_your forethought and unfailing inter- estin_the work of this organization it is in- debted in a great measure for the considera- tion shown to its officers by the municipal authorities and the very willing and respect- ful attention accorded its representatives, no less than the clear and comprehensive view of the labors and intentionsof this organization held by the various City officials with whom you came in contact. In finishing its business inthe street- cleaning line the association dispensed with the services of William B. Stephen- son, superintendent of the street-cleaning department, and Joseph F. Carpenter, the accountant and financial manager. Letters expressing the hearty appreciation of the directors for these gentlemen's services were also written and forwarded. ACTOR AMIRAUES CASE He Accuses His Wife of Throwing Brickbats and Tin Cans. The Court Insists, However, on His Paying the Money She Asked. Gellar Amiraux, the husband of the little actress who is now suing him for maintenance, finds the courts much harder to get along with than was his shy and petite marital mate. Some time subsequent to his arrest on a charge of making threats against the life of Mrs. Josephine Amiraux, he was ordered t0 pay the plaintiff $30 for her support and $20 attorney’s fees. He failed to comply with the mandate of the court, and he was very reluctantly granted further time by Judge Troutt yesterday. In the meantime Amiraux, through his legal representative, M. M. Foote, has filed affidavits. In oneof these affidavits his wife i¢ accused of camping in front of ex-Mayor Hazzard’s residence in Lc¢ s Angeles, where Amiraux and his mother were smp})ing at the time, and occupying her time from 8 p. M. until 5 A. M. by throwing brickbats, tin cans, stove wood and old shoesat the windows. She is accused of indulging in this_unique pastime two nights in suc- cession. The affidavits, however, neglect to insert the amount of damage resulting from the plaintiff’s noctural fusiilades. On another occasion she is said by one of the affidavits to have struck de- fendant in the face; that a crowd collected and threatened dire punishment to de- fendant, under the impression that he had been the assailant instead of the assailed. Mrs. Amiraux is slight in stature and weighs only 105 pounds. *‘The scandalous affidavits,” as she terms them, are attrib- uted by her to a desire on the part of her husband’s relatives to widen the breach number is growing very fast. A leading physician yesterday, in speak- ing of the matter, said: ‘‘These societies are threatening the livelihood of all the legitimate practitioners who are not in the inside of the rings. There is a great deal of justice and sense in Dr. Kubiman's resc- lutions, and he is not alone. A large ma- jority of the medical men in 8an Francisco take the same position. There will un- doubtedly be a lively discussion atthe next meeting, September 10, to which time their consideration was postponed. Yet, it doesn’t seem as if much could be done. The remedy does nut seem clear. ‘‘About a year ago one of these societies was started on a big scale and several of the leading physicians of the City had arranged to go on its staff as consulting physicians, but Dr. d’Evelyn got up in one of the meetings and censured the project in severe terms. They exfilained then that they had not considered the matter in the light that he presented it, as a violation of the code of medical ethics, and admitted that he was right and withdrew. The society died out then. ““In what way is ita violation of the code of medical ethics? Well, the advertising clause, for onething. Those who are on the staffs of the best of these societies get a great deal of outside practice through the patients who are members. Then it is a violation of the fee bill. There is a schedule of fees which all the doctorsagree not to go below except in charity cases. Most ofthe people in these societies can afford to pay regular office fees.”’, On the staffs of the German Hospital and French Hospital and other societies are a number of the leading phvsicians of the City, and they will all be arrayed against the resolutions, and a lively time may be expected at the meaical society’s meeting. As to the Polyclinic, which is connected with the Tolnm{ Medicat College and the Cooper College dispensary, and similar in- stitutions, they are supposed to treat only those who are unable to pay, but it is re- ported that this rule is not observed very closely, and so many fees that should go to doctors in their offices are lost. One case was told yesterday by a doctor of a woman of means who had consulted a physician and had been advised that an operation would be necessary. The amount ot the fee was asked and she was told it would be $125. This was satis- factory and an engagement was made but not kept. Meeting the woman some time after he asked why she had not called. She said that a friend had told her of the mlyclinica, ‘where she had gone and had e operation performed for nothing. EL OAMPO TO-MORROW. Something Specially Attractive Ar- ranged for Visitors. People are beginning to look for some- thing attractive at El Campo each Sunday, and the management never seems to fail to rise to the occasion. To-morrow there will be another exhibi- tion by Captain Roach, but that is likely to be almost overshadowed by a special burlesque naval display with innumerable small boats, etc. The natural advantages of EIl Campo render any water exposition realistic, while the “lay of the land” is very favorable for all visitors obtaining a capifl view of the proceedings. As a family resors, a place for youn, couples and citizens generally, to go to ]‘fi Camipo is unrivaled, and it is gradually ;vinningaforemont place in the popular avor. JA00B ZILLIG'S DEATH. Two Suits for Damages May Be Brought by His Family. The relatives of Jacob Zillig, who died on Sunday from the effects of injuries sus- ‘tained by falling from a Mission-street car, are preparing te bring two suits for dam- ages against the Market-street Railway Company and the City respectively. They claim that they have a good case against both so:far as their " investigations .g0." The particulars of the accident, as de- tailed by an eye-witness, show that the de- ceased boarded a car and was obliged to stand on the platform. He wished to alight near the corner of Mission and Eleventh streets but the conductor was forward and Zillig reached up to pull the signal-cord. Being short of stature he between them. OFF TO THE VINEYARDS, Hundreds of Raisin-Pickers to Be Sent to Fresno County. On Tuesday morning the State Free Labor Bureau will send a carload of fifty men to the vineyards near Fowler, Fresno County, where they will harvest the raisin crop. On the 25th, 28th and 1st at least 300 more raisin-pickers will follow and be scattered among other vineyards in the county. D.W. Parkhurst, one of Fresno's large raisin-growers, called at the bureau yesterday and gave Deputy C.L. Dam con- siderable valuable information concerning labor in the vineyards. He said thatin the county are fully 1500 producers, and the latter expect to ship East this year fully 1500 carloads of raisins. During tne picking and packing season between 4000 and 6000 people are employed. Mr. Parkhurst personally employs between 150 and 200 boys and young men. He has usually sent to San Francisco for his help, and notwithstanding the statements made by many of the fruit-growers that Japan- ese and Chinese are better workers and more reliable, Mr. Parkhurst has found his white help equally reliable and much bet- ter and more intelligent workers. He says that this is the experience of many of his neighbors who have used both classes of labor. Mr. Parkhurst advised Daputy Dam to address a letter to the Co-operative Pro- ducers’ Raisin Packing Company of Fresno calling attention to the object of the Free Labor Bureau and offering to send to Fresno all the white help necessary to har- vest the crop. The letter was sent at once, and Mr. Dam asked that orders be for- warded by the growers personally or through the secgetary of the association. The association has a membership of 150 and Mr. Parkhurst is sure that all will comply with the request, particularly when all help sent by the burean will be able to reach Fresno on a reduced railroad fare. ———————— Securing a Bond Issue. A deed of trust was yesterday filed with the Recorder conveying all the real.and personal roperty of the Stanislaus and San Joaquin Vater Company to the Calitornia Safe Deposit Company. The transier was made to insure the payment of 20-year bonds at 6 per cent to the amount of $350,000, floated some time ago by the former corporation for the purpose of raising funds for the completion of its exten- sive system of irrigation ditches in the San Joaquin Valley. LATEST BLYTHE APPEALS, Arguments In the Case Heard Yesterday by the Supreme Court. MRS. HINCKLEY'S AFFIDAVIT. A Declaration That the Cqntestants Are Simply Trylng to Annoy Her. Florence Blythe-Hinckley’s demand for the millions that have been declared to be hers was before the Supreme Court yester- day. The lawyers debated throughout the morning and afternoon, and then the ques- tions involved were submitted to the court. These questions were on appeal from the order restraining the Public Administra- tor from carrying out the decree of distri- bution, on appeal by the Kentucky Blythes, from the original judgment, and a motion to dismiss this appeal. The Holladays argued on the general appeal from the judgment. Mrs. Hinckley was represented by W. H. H. Hart, Judge Boalt and Alired Rix, and J. D. Sullivan was the astorney for Public Administrator Freese. Burke Holladay, arguing on his appeal, maintained that the judgment was not properly entered within six months, as re- auired by law, and that the Blythe case was a civil action and not an ordfnar{ pro- bate proceeding. The judgment shounld therefore have been entered in the regular judgment-book, and it was not sutncient to spread it upon the probate minute-book, he said. Attorney Hart reviewed the entire case in controverting Mr. Holladay’s argument. “There was from the beginning a dis- pute over the heirship,” he said. *It was conducted strictly as a probate gmceeding. Yet counsel contends that the filing of the complaint took the case out of the Probate Court and made it a civil action, requiring the opening of a new set of books. We never took that view of the case and he never did until the decision against him was affirmed by the court. The only issue settled in this case was that Florence Blythe was the daughter of the deceased, and that the Williams heirs were the next of kin and that these appellants were not. “Now, can it be maintained that, be- cause that judgment was not entered in the right book in the County Clerk’s office, we must go back into the lower court and try these issues over again ?'’ About the only new feature in the case was Mrs. Hinckley’s affidavit, placed on record by Attorney Hart. In that affidavit Mrs. Hinckley stated that she believed the claim of Holladay’s clients to be fictitious aud without foundation, and that they aim(rlg prosecuted their appeals and in- truded themselves into the proceedings for the erpoae of vexing and annoying her and preventing her from obtaining possession of the property to which she is entitled. THE STATE REPUBLICANS, Foster’s Right to Serve as an Election Commissioner to Be Contested. Meetings of the Entire Central Committee Called by the Chalrman. A meeting of the Republican State Cen- tral Committee, to convene in Golden Gate Hall on Sutter street at 2 . M. to-day, has been called by the chairman, P. B. Corn- wall. It is understood that Samuel Foster’s ap- intment as Election Commissioner and is assumption of official duties after his nomination had been rejected by the ex- ecutive committee of the Btate Committee will be the chief topics of discu ssion. The report was current last evening that several members of the committee were eager to contest Foster’s right to serve on the Election Board, and, therefore, Chair- man Cornwall deemed it best to call all the me mbers together for consultation. At the Union League Club last evening very little inforination could be obtained in reference to the proposed meeting. Sen- ator Thomas Flint Jr. of San Benito County heard had that a meeting was called hut had not received official notice from the chairman. He presumed that his in- vitation to attend the session had been for- warded to his residence at San Juan. It is expected that many members of the committee from Stockton, San Jose, Sacra- mento and Santa Rosa will arrive this fore- noon. The committee will also discuss subjects relating to the next National Repubiican Conveniton and steps may be taken to bring into effect every possible influence of the proper kind to induce the committee which meets in Washington next Decem- ber to select San Francisco as the place for holding the convention. THE IROQUOIS CLUB. A Branch Club is to Be Established in the Forty-second District This Evening. The members of the Iroquois Club held their regular meeting last night, and the subject of establishing branch clubs in each Assembly district in the City was dis- cussed at length. Max Popper reported that a branch club wonld be established at Turn Verein Hall in the Forty-second As- sembly District this evening, and that the work of securing suitable halls in the re- maining districts was rapidly progressing.
