THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1895 10 ADVERTISE AT HOME, The Manufacturers’ Associa- tion Decides on That as a Duty. ALL FOR THEIR OWN STATE. The Sacramento “Record-Union’s” Antagonism to the Organl- zation. At a meeting of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association, held last evening, Chairman Sonntag presided. The principal topic discussed was a re- vort from L. R. Mead, chairman of the committee on publication, on the subject x in California papers Califor- factured goods and products. In he stated that he had mailed to each of the association a letter on the | ject of advertising. and had also writ- “to each newspaper in the State on that subject. The chairman also reported: Since that t! one of our members, presi- rporation, which heretofore ing, has stated to ive of this association thathe had : 1 our letter, thought it an excellent idea and had come fo the conclusion to adver- tise; that he thought it & good plan for the as- n to handle the business, for he could w it would relieve the advertisers deal of trouble, and how the money 1ch more profitably spent and bring n took a wide range, but on generally expressed was that move and advertise.

Several of the directors thought the article so contemptible that it ought not to be noticed. Ir. Saroni said that another article of a ar’ character had appeared in that paper, and that as W. H. Mills of the Southern Pacific is the principal owner of e paper he had called at the Southern Pacific office and had suggested that the writer of the article be discharged or that the paper avologize. “The paper,” said Mr. Saroni, not apologized.” It was finally decided to send the chief promat the association to Sacramento 1o to the manufacturers of that city em to join the associationand to ects of the association before the ay<rs of Bacramento.

B, CURTIS ON FREIGHTS. The New Trafic Manager Gives His Views on How California Can Be Benefited. W. B. Curtis, the new traffic manager of the Traffic Association, spent yesterday and Monday in studying official reports of the Interstate Railroad Commission and going over the ground where ex-Manager Leeds stopped. “I have been brushing up on interstate questions,”” said he, “and familiarizing myself with my new office. Of course you will understand that it is rather soon yet for me to give an opinion of what we shall do, though I shall favor in every way the extension of markets for California prod- uets with the view of thus developing the State’s industries. *I have received letters and circulars to- day from Hamburg, Germany, announc- ing that an exhibition of Californian prod- ucts has been opened up in Berlin. The letters asked for figures showing the rates of freight by all lines from California_to Germany. This looks Jike business, and I want to do all in my’Fower to give the movement assistance. Thingsof this kind help our country more than people believe. A great interest has been awakened in Ger- many in our products, and we should meet it more than haif way. The more we can extend markets for Californian products the greater will be our prosperity. Eng- land is gradually taking our fruits, and next season will remember what fruit from California tasted like and want still more. “The groblem will be how to get our fruits and other products to Europe at the lowest rate possible. I believe that the best way out would be via New Orleans. If Mr. Huntington would put on a line of fast- freight steamers from that port to connect with fast-freight trains from California, there would be one way in which he could do this State a benefit. I do not suppose however, that he will do that, not until the volume of freight growsfar beyond what it is at present.”’ WOMEN AS JOURNALISTS, Convention of the Pacific Coast Women’s Press Association. An Interesting Programme at Gold- en Gate Hall-Reception and Excursions. “‘The broad-minded men in journalism will not oniy open the gate for the en- trance of woman into the field, but will go out into the lane where she is toiling and lead her along the rough road. The men who look askance at her and question her ability are neither ornamental ner useful in the profession.” Mrs. Emma Seckle Marshall, once editor of the Los Angeles Citizen and a newspaper woman of four- teen years’ experience, made this state- ment at .the convention of the Pacific Coast Women’s Press Association. She made it in the course of a clever paper on “Women in Journalism,” and showed a thorough familiarity with it. At the executive session held in the morning the business transacted was con- fined to the submission and adoptiod of reports from various officers and’ commit- The afternoon was devoted to a lit- and musical programme. Ada Van Pelt, the president, gave an address of welcome, in which she laid great stress upon the importance and bene- fits of organizations composed of women. She regarded them as the nuclei of perma- nent good. She indulged in some gentle sarcasm at the expense of ‘kindhearted, chivalrous man,” and said the new woman was only the old mother of the race re- labeled. She thought man regarded woman much as he did electricity in so far as she required certain restrictions or she might become dangerous. Said the speaker: ‘‘Give woman a wider track and she will run all right.” Shesaid the new woman was quite old-fashioned enough to love her husband and would make a better helpmeet when her horizon was widened. Mrs. Frances Fuller Victor's paper on “‘Fiction—Past and Present” was read by Mrs. Matherson.

PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE. Large Mains to Be Lald Under the Streets Between Market and Townsend. “The Spring Valley Water Company is doing a large amount of work, partly for purposes of protecting the reservoirs and partly to increase the capacity of the works to meet the constantly growing de- mand for water,” said Chief Engineer H. Schussler yesterday. “It will be remembered that early in the year the company concluded to carry out its original plan of turning the surface drainage of the Lake Merced watershed into the Pacific Ocean, thus allowing oniy the subterranean supply from springs in the bottom of the lake to feed the same. “For the purpose of carrying the surface waters of the Colma watershed of over 1000 acres into the ocean it was necessary to build a water-tight dam across Colma can- yon, construct a masonry aqueduct 8300 feet in length along the southwestern shore of Lake Merced and to drift a tunnel 3100 feet in length into the Pacific. “This dam has been constructed of first- class concrete, and the construction of the aqueduct has been begun, while the drift- ing of the tunnel hnstrogressed about 700 Jeet from the lake and over 800 feet from the ocean end. e ““When the tunnel is drifted it will be at once lined with a 12-inch arch of brick and cement masonry. “The two districts in San Francisco County, the surface drainage of which flows in the direction of Lake Merced, and the Lake View and Ocean View dis- tricts, contain a joint area of nearly 1200 acres. Their population is constantly growing, and they will therefore soon re- quire an extensive water supply system. “Before this can be putin, however, a complete sewer system, especially as re- gards the main outlet sewer to the ocean, will have to be constructed, as otherwise the waste and sewage from the houses would tend to pollute the water of Lake Merced. *‘Where the entire surface drainage and sewer system, as above outlined, has been completed and the supply of the lake con- fined solely to the subterranean and arte- si1an supply, it i3 expected that the quality of the water in the lake will be inferior to none on the peninsula. “The company has purchased a tract of | land near Baden station, where it proposes to construct a bridge 1500 feet long across | the swamp, thus connecting the high lands | on the west side of the vallev with those on the east. On this bridge the new 37- inch steel pipe will be laid, which conve the water from the San Andreas reservoir into the district west of Valencia street and Hayes Valley. The bridge is being constructed of sufficient height to allow the biggest flood waters to pass under- neath, and of sufficient width to allow the future 44-inch Crystal Springs’] pipe to be placed alongside the other. ““In order to furnish an additional water supply to the Western Addition a 22-inch ipe 6300 feet in length will be at once Jaid rom the San Andreas pipe, at Ocean View, to the new Lake Merced pumping station, thus enabling the company at such times as the Lake Merced water cannot be used on account of muddiness or low supply to lift the San Andreas water by means of the Lake Merced pumping station into the Lake Honda reservoir. “‘The company has done a large amount of work the past summer toward improv- ing the fire protection of the City, es- i south of Market street. mprovement has consisted prin- cipally in laying 12-inch mains on th street from Market to Townsend and con- necting with all cross-streets, and particu- larly the 30-inch pipe on Howard street, which is the main artery for the southern district. The next 12-inch cross-pipe has been started on Fourth street, and will run between Market and Townsend. The same plan will be followed on Second and Third streets, and the southerly ends of these cross-pipes will be connected by a 6-inch pipe to be laid along Brannan street. “There is also improvement going on in the fire service north of Market street, the beginning of which was the laying of a 12- inch main from the 22-inch main on Mar- | ket street along Taylor to Post and down | to Kearny, connecting with the | Post Kearny-street 12-inch main. *‘In addition to this the pipes of less than 6 inches in diameter south of Market street are rapidly being replaced by 8-inch pipes. Also a 16-inch pipe has been laid in ihe neighborhood of the park, toward Richmend, with a 22-inch main on Haight street, a_4-inch main along Frederick street to Firststreet, to H street, to Seventh avenue, where a 30-inch main will con- tinue down this avenue to the main Lake Honda tunnel. A new outlet and forebay is being con- structed at Lake Honda reservoir of mnch larger dimensions than the present one, with valves opening automatically, so that. in case of a large sudden demand, as a con- flagration, and the supply coming from the San Mateo County reservoirs should be in- suflicient, the valves will turn on the sup- ply from Lake Honda reservoir, making a total of 30,000,000 gallons.” WHAT SOUTHSIDE WANTS Board of Supervisors to Be Asked for a Complete Survey. No Action Taken on the Withdrawal of the Cars From Carl Street. “The best way to improve the Southside district”” was the theme of discussion by the Southside Club at its meeting last izht, at 20 Eddy street. The club is com- posed of owners of property south of Golden Gate Park. The official name of this district is Soufhside, but since the organization of the Southside Improvement Club there, résulting in a confusion of nomenclature in the public mind the property-owners south of Golden Gate Park think it may be advisable to change the name of their district. This was talked of somewhat last night, but action was deferred. It may be that owing to its peculiar scenic advantages the name Parkview will ultimately be adopted. In opening the meeting President C. W. Pope stated that the most immediate want of the district was a general survey, and an appropriation DY the Board of Super- visors for the establishment of street and sewer grades. It had paid taxes for many years, lie observed, without receiving any apparent benefit. e also alluded to the recent withdrawal of its cars from Carl street by the Market- street Railway Company, and thought some action should be taken seeking to compel the combine to comply with the conditions of its Metropolitan franchise, The opening of J street to the ocean, and the completion of the ocean boulevard were also touched upon by him. Wendell Easton was present and took such an active part in the meeting that a vote of thanks was afterward tendered to him. He thought the whole district could be graded for about $300 or $400 a block, and as for transit facilities he was of the opinion, after teiling of his observations in New York, Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Denver and other cities, that they would be ample when the traffic was sufficient. A complete survey of that section, he thought, should be taken of that section first, letting the street railway matter take care of itself. Incidentally he compli- megted Richmond for the progress it had made. A committee, consisting of Sol Getz, J. B. Gonyean, Wendell Easton, Jacob Hey- man and E. Ewald, was then chosen to wait on the Board of Supervisorsand en- deavor to secure a survey appropriation. The withdrawal of the streetcars from Carl street was brought up by Mr. Getz who said he had_consulted attorneys, and that their opinion was that the Market- street Railway Company could be com- elled to fulfill its obligations. Behrend Eoost and others were willing to take the franchise and do so, he remarked, and he added that Mr. Joost was about to ask for a franchise to Ninth avenue, and had been given permission by Mr. Butro to run across his property from Sunnyside to a point as near the ocean as he desired, and intended to apply for a franchise imme- diately for an extension much farther west. “The company doesnot want the Affiliated Colleges on Mr. Sutro’s site,” remarked Mr. Gaden. At his suggestion the followin, tion was adopted relative to the Colleges’ site: We, the members of the Southside Improve- ment Club, at & regular meeting, recognizin the munificent liberslity of the Hon. Adolp! Sutro in the giit of the site for the Affiliated Colleges, desire to emphasize our appreciation of this gift by urging upon the board of regents to accept the same. Various other matters were then talked over, among them the proposed H-street sewer and the ocean boulevard, by Thomas U. Sweeney, P. F. Butler, Jacob” Heyman and others, and President T. J. Parker of the Point Lobos Improvement Club ex- tended an invitation to all present to join in with the Richmond district property- owners in their agitation against the blue- rock ordinance. The Point Lobos Club will have a mass-meeting in B’nai B’rith Hall to-night on this blue-rock question, which Mr. Parker said he hoped all South- side preperty-owners would attend. THE FEDERATION'S WORK, New City Charter and Other Important Matters to Be Taken Up. resolu- fliliated Every District In the City Wil Be Represented in the New Or= ganization. Pending the issuing of a charter in ac- cordance with the articles of incorporation as filed with the Secretary of State a few days ago matters in Civic Federation cir- cles are very quiet. In fact it will be some weeks yet before they will enter upon the campaign of municipal reform, though it is not to be supposed that in the interim they will be less watchful than in the past. The charter is expected any day now, but in order to work legally, or rather in con- formity with the‘articles of incorporation there are many details yet to be attended to. \ The first work to be done by the incor- porators, or the committee of eleven, as they are termed, is to select sixty-eight men, people of prominence and unques- tioned integrity, who shall control and di- rect the affairs of the Civic Federation. In them will be vested all the powers granted by the Secretary of State to the committee of eleven, and with them will rest the battle for public and social re- forms, so far as the federation is con- cerned. Fifty of the sixty-eight members required will” be taken from the ranks of the organizations prominent in reform movements, regardless of their location. The other eighteen members will be from the eighteen Assembly districts of the County, thus securing represemtation for the entire City. Attorney C. W. Reed said vesterday: It will be several weeks yet before the federation gets down to business. The com- mittee of eleven is vested with full power to name the sixty-eight members who will con- stitute the working end of the federation, and you may be sure they will exercise the greatest care and wisdom possible to secure not only honest men, but workers. The object of the federation is to concentrate in one potential, non-political, non-sectarian body all the forees now laboring to advance our municipal, philanthropical, industrisl, social and moral interests. We do not expect to accomplish this in a day, or a month, or a year; but all great movements must have a beginning, and | all classes in San Francisco are just now clamoring for the very thing that the Civie Federation proposes to undertake, The first work that will probably be under- taken will be the new City charter. This prom- ises to be a great fight, and will unquestion- ably receive the moral and physical support of the organization. Street work will also be taken up, and in fact all matters in which there appears to_be room for publie investiga- tion. Just here let me say that we are depend- ing largely on the press for support, and if we can secure that the success of the federation is assured. It is our purpose to take a hand in all elections, by placing men in each voting booth and leaving nothing to chance. In fact you may state that the federation stands ready atany and all times to espouse the cause of honesty and justice, Steam Shovels Work: ISHPEMING, Micn., Sept. 3.—Steam shovels were worked all day. and shovels at the Buffalo mine and Negaunee were started at noon under guards of militia from Sheboygan.

TRAL OF DURRANT, - Continued from First Page. world in pity and in horror, a white-haired Judge of the Superior Court mounting slowly the steps to the portals of the sanc- tuary, and followed closely by the jury and its guarding army of bailiffs, by the District Attorney of the City and County, and by most.of the officers of the court— this was the strange and impressive scene presented to those who counted themselves fortunate in witnessing it from the houses that line Bartlett street, between Twenty- first and Twenty-second, yesterday after- noon. A squad of policemen guarded both en- trances to the block in which stands the ill-starred church. And behind each squad stood thousands of men and women and school children. They began to assemble there long before the prison van arrived, so swiftly did thenews travel that the pris- oner and the court and the jury were to visit the church. After the prison van made its way through the crowd at Twenty-first and Bartlett streets, a carriage containing Di trict Attorney Barnes and Attorneys Dick- inson and Peixotto followed closely. Judge Murphy and the jury and the necessary somplement of newspaper men, who made the journey on a Valencia-street cable- car, arrived several minutes later. They found Durrant standing in front of the church between two bailiffs, his hands in his trousers pockets, the invariable smile upon Lis lips. Policeman Russell led the way. He had again the court’s admonishing words to the jury, then adjournment until this morning. WHEEL AND TRACK. The Olympic Club Will Encourage Its Athletes to Renewed Action in the Field. Leonard Gill, the newly elected captain of the Olympic Club, is determined to stir up some life in outdoor sports this coming winter. Mr. Gill 1s editor of the Olympian, a club journal, which has done consider- able to arouse the fast-fading interest in outdoor svorts. While conversing on athletics generally, Mr. Gill said that the club was handicapped now owing to the present wretched condition of its grounds, but that the near future may disclose cer- tain good things which will be appreciated by the members who delight in outdoor sports, such as running, jumping, etc. The captain is well aware of the fact that unless the Olympie Club can turn out some very good men when field days are given under the auspices of the Pacific Athletic Associa- tion, the honors of victorv will perch on the shoulders of the representatives of the universities of California and Stanford. The college boys of Berkeley are deter- mined to sweep everything before them, athletically speaking, this year, as they have the material M%mnd to put into the field at a das’s notice, and it therefore behooves the Olympic Club to look sharp and be up and doing if it expects to make any representation this season worthy of mention on the field or track. The annual members’ meeting of the Bay City Wheelmen was held last Monday night at the clubhouse, 441 Golden Gate avenue. Over half the membership was represented in person, and the various re- vorts of officers and committees showed the club to be in a most prosperous con- dition. A.W. Rhys, A. Lundberg, R.J. THE SURGING CROWD THAT BLOCEED BARTLETT STREET DUR- ING THE OFFICIAL VISIT TO EMMANUEL BAPTIST OCHURCH, [Sketched by a.“Call” artist.] previously been instructed by Judege Mur- phy that all his directions to the jury should be made in the uncertain tense. “You must say, ‘This is claimed to be the library; this is claimed to be thecloset; this is claimed to be thus andso,’” the court had instructed him not once but many times before the journey was begun. Mr. Russell led the way first to the gate- way at the side of the church, the entrance to the pastor’s study. “This is claimed to be the entrance to the pastor’s study,” he said, and the little tin sign on the gate which reads, “En- trance to the pastor's study,’” seemed to scream aloud in mockery of what Mr. Barnes himself had termed the ‘‘sophis- tries and technicalities of criminal pro- ceedings.” Mr. Russell opened what was “claimed to be” the entrance to the pastor's study, and the jury and the court and the attor- neys filed in after him and walked down the long yard to another door which was “claimed” and also proclaimed by another little tin sign as the door to the pastor's study. After a few moments they all came out on the street, and Mr. Russell led them to the main entrance of the church. “This is claimed to be the vestibule of the church,” said Mr, Russell as he opened the door. All passed inside of what was “claimed to be’ FEmmanuel Baptist Church—that is, all but the newspaper men—and remained there inspecting the building throughout until late in the after- noon. The newspaper men would have gone in, too, if they dared, but Attorney Dickinson objected to this. Just before court con- vened in the afternoon he had gone into Judge Murphy’s chambers and made a special request that the representatives of the press be excluded from the church. District Attorney Barnes was willing that all the world should know what took place inside the church at this time, but in con- formity with Mr. Dickinson’s request the court ruled that the public shouid not be informed of the manner in which the church was inspected. But, of course, what transpired within, while the press men waited without, was not kept a secret. It was learned, for in- stance, that Judge Murphy was greatly concerned, while the jury were climbing the rickety stairs into the belfry, lest one of them should fall and receive an injury that would postpone the trial, It was learned that Mr. Russell slipped a couple of times on his “claims” and that he so far forgot himself as to remark: “Phis belfry—this here belfry—is claimed to be the beliry.”” And again, with the library, he said: «This library is claimed to be the library.” 1t is not known that Mr. Russell at any time ever eliminated the ‘‘claimed” en- tirely, but it is known that he sometimes got 1t in the wrong place. Throughout the entire inspection of the premises Durrant, who went everywhere the jury went, remained the same. He stood in the little room in the belfry and saw the spot pointed out where the fiend had left his strangled victim without ever a sign. True, he was a trifle paler when he came out of the church, but he smiled pleasantly as he walked back tothe prison van, and it may have been only the chill of the cold church that made this slight change in his color. Nothing of importance occurred} inside the church. Judge Murphy had cautioned the jury that they should use their eyes only and keep their mouths closed, and this injunction, it seems, was strictly fol- lowed. What spoiled somewhat the impressive- ness of the scene when the prisoner and the Judge and the jury went in and out of the church was the number of school chil- dren in the neighborhood. The policemen at the corners checked their steps, but not their spirits, and they yelled and shouted at every possible opportunity. That the children should have been there at all was the pity, and many commented upon the spectacle of so many children viewing the formalities so closely linked to such a revolting crime. It was long after 4 o’clock when the en- tire party returned to the courtroom. There was again a rollcall of the jury, ~ Elliott, George L. Hall, David Marshall, Byron D.

Daniel O'Callaghan of the Bay City Wheelmen will leave on Saturday for a tour around the world. He will not take ) his wheel, and will be absent about a year. He has promised to send the club some curto from every country he visits, so it may soon have quite a collection of wonders. The Camera Club Cyefists will hold their regular meeting to-morrow night. Commencing then and continuing during the winter there will be read at every meeting an interesting and instructive paper, which will be submitted to the members for general discussion. Mitchell M. Shields, a well-known wheelman of Los Angeles, is in this City to consult with the Racing Board upon the McAleer-Castleman dispute. He is representing McAleer. NO REHEARING.

The matter will now be placed on Judge Hebbard’s calendar for hearing on the ques:ions referred back by the higher court. ————— Contesting the Larkins Will.
