i % THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1895. .- 11 THE BLIND BOSS IS REGAINING HIS POWER, To the Democracy He Is Now “The Old Man of the Sea.” MERRY BATTLE COMING. The Buckley Forces Feel a Life and Hope Unknown in Years. FACTIONS SHARPLY DIVIDED. Thelr Strength Will Be Measured at Metropolitan ‘Hall This Evening. A hot ‘meeting of the local Democratic general” committee at Metropolitan Hall to-night will probably measure the politi- cal strength with which the. party’s *Old Man of the'Sea,’’ the sightless ex-boss, has returned to bestride its neck. It is only “‘probable” that the meeting to-night will" measure Buckley’s present strength in-the party, for there is no defi- nite forecast- of what will be done orat- tempted to be done to-night. Perhaps the Buckleyites Lnot stand up just yet toa pitched battle with the poweriul and more respectable element of the party, which is now in control of the machine and which will resist to the death the efforts of the Buckl tion to wrest it from them. Buckley has- surely returned, and he will not retire to the bowers of Ravens- wood at any mild request of reorganizers and . purifiers. He is not thundering at the gatesof power at all.” He has gently ated himself at one end of the wires that radiate just now from - the corner of Bush 1 Stocktoun streets, and with his master- hrewdness and powers of organization he isat work by his methods of old. He has come like an apparition to the i controi. ‘There was no an- nent that Puckley was about to i+ forth his hand in an effort to con- tbe Jocal machine. Six weeksor so se: » he became a'more frequent visitor at 0. ntal Club, and the pulse of that WHAT IT WILL D0. A Plain Statement of Fact, and One Worth Reading. Some Miracles That Dr. Henley's Celery Beef and Iron Does Not Perform—A Word to Thinking People. It is not such a very extra- ordinary thing to hear people whom you meet once in a while nowadays talking about the re- turn of “the age of miracles.” And perhaps there are some dreamers who really give time and thought to the possibility of the reappearance of a holy man - who will be able to say, and wash three times in pool of Siloam and thou shalt be clean.” But the man of the “world as it is” is in- ned to better his condition— if he can—by means that don’t savor much of the mysterious. Day after day we hear of this or that preparation which is guaranteed to perform miracles, d that, too, in practically “no time.” The deaf are made to hear, the blind see, lepers are made whole, and those who have lest legs are induced to believe that they will graduate as finished dancers in a few weeks. The object of this notice is to call attention to the factthat for Dr. Henley’s Celery, Beef and Iron no such foelish or impos- sible claim has ever been main- tained or made. - This prepara- tion is not a bitters (creating a false appetite); it is not a “com- pound” (the ingredients. in which no one knows), nor is it a “cure-all” and a two-ounce vial of it will not remove a dis- ease that has been coming on for years. It is, plainly, a sim- ple and accurately compounded preparation of Celery (the best nervine yet discovered), Beef (undeniably the best sustenant known) and Iron (the peerless remedy for weak and impure blood). A very great portion of the lifetime of an eminent phy- sician was spent in discovering what the exact proportion of each of these grand elements must be in order that the preparation should do UN- MIXED and LASTING good; and having completely solved the problem, it is now found that this preparation is the best remedy in all cases of nervous or general debility, insomnia, “the blues,” lack of appetite, dyspepsia, indigestion, and the ills common to women. But it does not heal broken limbs, re- store lost eyesight, or perform any of the things that are com- monly called miracles. But that it is a grand tonic, a perfect nervine, a matchless system- builder and an unequaled blood purifier, every one who has used it regularly for any length of time will readily. testify. 99 the { interesting social organization felt a new | thrill. For two or three weeks there has | been an air of life abont the place, and the | old henchmen of the blind boss have been ! quietly talking politics with unusual-in- terest for an off year. The life of the Oc- cidental Club grew somewhat as the fog comes quietly to wrap the town. Directors’ meetings have been more frequent antd in- teresting, and two weeksago all delinquent members received notice to come around and pay up. Then Popper, McNab and Braunhart and those fellows suddenly realized that Buckley had come to town somewhat as the genius took form from tire cloud and stood on the shore. The danger signal was sounded and Chairman A. A. Watkins of the executive committee was induced to call a meeting of the general committee for to-night. It is not usual to start up the machine about the 1st of October of an off year, but it wouldn’t do to let Buckley and his exper- ienced generals and lientenants work along with everything their own way. That is the reason of the meeting to- night—to do something te head off Boss Buckley before it is too late. Nobody seemed to know Jlast night what definite propositions or business will come up to- night beyond the election of a chairman. Involved in this business is, of course, the control of the organization of the party, aud the proposed election of J. A. Watkins as chairman of the general committee will give the machinery to the anti-Buck- leyites. *I was requested by several general com- mittee gentlemen to call the meeting and 1 did so,” said Mr. Watkins last night, ‘“and I have no idea what will be done or what business will come up.” Not a Buckley man could be found who would make a guess on anything besides the chairmanship. But it will be a merry time, they say, as befits a Democratic party gathering. Metropolitan and other halls haye seen fun before since the.revolution which overthrew Buckley was begun by Deu- prey, Lynch, Sullivan, Dwyer and a few other heroes a few years ago. Why should it not be a merry time? The Buckleyites have kicked up many a hot fracas, mainly with the result of relieving their feelings, but now there is a return to them of con- scious strength; they find themselves openly standing together and their old master is with them to inspire hope and confidence. The other side must fight and the bitterness is deadly. But the general committee is composed of 450 mexfibers, and it is not easy to pre- aict how things stand when both sides claim victory in advance. Popper, McNab and others of the faction in power declare that there will be nothing left of Buckley after to-night, when his friends will be hunting holes to crawl into. Some of the leading workers in the Buckley camp de- clared with equal confidence yesterday that they would win out. Others were noncommittal. It is James H. U'Brien, the contractor, who will be the Buckley candidate for the chairmanship to-night, unlessit is decided to make no nomination in opposition to Watkins. J. J. Flynn has been pulled down. The situation is a mess, and it is likely to remain one with frequent developments. The “Deuprey committee” ought to ap- pear on the scene somehow pretty soon. -This is the committee-of-twenty-five: ap- pointed by Chairman Eugene Deuprey at the last municipal convention to take charge of the cumpaign-and then recr- ganize the party. Now the Buckley men who are damning the presentorganization in a hundted ways are saying that the convention didn’t authorize it and that the records in the possession of Secretary Gavigan show no resolution creating it. Sam Newman last night raised another point against that hali-forgotten Deuprey committee that.was to do something at some time. He declared that the fast mu- nicipal convention had no power to create it, anyway, because it was called by the general committee for specific purposes, of which the organization of the party was not one. Another point was raised yesterday by P. F. Dundon and other Buckley men, and that was that the general committee is not a legal one. It was elected in 1892 for two years, and the term of office of its mem- bers has expired, it was declared. Then last year a new plan of organization was adopted by the general committee, giving each district fifteen members instead of twenty-five. This was to be elected at a primary, but afterward Chairman Max Popper refused to call a primary election. ‘'"Now where are we, what plan are we under, and who is who?” All this may not amount to much in the face of the fact that the only general committee there is ‘'will meet to-night and probably do something, but it illustrates the opportu- nities for a fight. 4 The Occidental Club bujlding was filled with light and lifelast evening. Bucklew's court was crowded. The handsome and commodious building that was a home of wealth until Buckley bought it and made it a club retreat for his friends was ablaze from roof to basement. By hali- past 7 they began dropping through the' dark walled entrance to the yard and mounting the granite steps. The bell tinkled continuously an hour later. Sam Newman, Reeorder Glynn, Eddie Greaney and J. J. Maloney dropped in early. They went up to the directors’ room and talked together like statesmen. The affable ex-Supervisor, P. F. Dundon, was on hand with wise counsel. Ex- Supervisor Barry, once the head of the Solid Nine, came also. These were among those who confidently strolled into the parlor when they wanted to and saton silk upholstered chairs. The scores of dis- trict henchmen, the lesser lights of Buck- leyism, who dropped in sat in the smoking and reading rooms. Not all of the hun- dred there were members of the Occi- dental Club. There was no meeting of the club last night. There was life there because some- thing important was going on in politics. Many were there to see Buckley himself, and Greaney and Maloney were busy as convention workers. ‘“Has he come?” was constantly asked! Buckley was the soul of the life there. But the boss kept the boys waiting last night, He loft the club at 4 ».m. and was due to return at 7:30, but at 10:30 o'clock he was still waited for. And A, J. Clunie visited the Occidental Club last night and gossiped long with the leaders. Perhaps he did not want to see Buckley particularly. Perhaps this pugnacious Democrat will lift his -fiery voice in Democratic councils again soon. His presence there last night was a thing of interest to many, but nobody knows bow Clunie stands. “‘Oh, I don’t know a thing aboutit,” he declared last night. *'I'm wholly out of politics.” The Buckley men are being vigorously rounded up for the meeting to-night. J. J. Maloney, one of the most active hust- lers in the - present Buckley campaign, said: “Our men will all be there.and we will win to-morrow night. I know it, and if we don’t I'll eat your hat.” It is expected that the proportion of the 450 members present to-night will be very large, for the anti-Buciiey forces are do- ing some vigorous rounding up, too. Mr. Dundon frankly explained the situ- ation, as far as Buckley is concerned, last night. Of course Buckley had little to do ith the present movemerit. ¥ ome people seemto have the impres- sion that' Mr. Buckley is trying to ‘resume the position in politics that he held before,” said Mr. Dundon, with sad regret that such an error should get abroad. “Now we of the Occidental Club,who believe that the party has been grossly mismanaged and want it justly and successfully run, would not allow such a thing. I will tell you that about six weeks ago when Mr. Buckley began coming here irequently the directors met with him and asked him what his intentions were. He was plainly told that if he endeavored to regain the position he held before we would be forced to oppose it, for we believed that it would be detrimental tothe party. He said that he agreed with usand declared that he had no wish to regain his former posi- tion, and that he would not have the strength if he had the ambition to do so. He said that he would counsel with us here whenever we wanted him to, and if we didn’t want him to come to the club he would counsel with us elsewhere, if we wanted his counsel. That is all that Mr. Buckley is doing—just counseling with us.” It is sometimes wondered what possi- bility Bubkley and his chief lieutenants see of making a successful fight for power with the press and so great and respect- able an element of the party bitterly op- posed to anythine tainted with Buckley- ism. The answer is that the Buckley fac- tion is now mustering a large and en- couraging strength, and there 1s a belief that one victory would cause a rush to the winner. “They’ll flock to us when they see us on top,” say the boys. “‘They” are largely the political henchmen who once tasted of Buckley’s grace to his followers, and who would be glad toleave the present “‘purity’’ for a kind of practical politics 'that has more in it. J. J. Flynn, the Iroquois brave, said yes- terday that the way it looked to him the Oecidental Club faction would win to- night. Mr. Flynn is steering a careful course just now and avoids any open alli- ance with the Buckley faction. Sam Rainey is saying nothing just now, and it is not believed by leading Demo- crats that the split between Bucfiley and him will be closed. Rainey will not do too much talking either. KENNEDY ESTATE MUDDLE. Reasons Given Why the Property Is Not Worth a Million or Little Less. All concerned are looking for a speedy and final issue in the Edward Kennedy estate. Frederick T. Kennedy, the sole sur- viving direct heir, charged, four weeks ago that the estate had dwindled down from $250,000 in 1873 to less than $25,000 at the present time; that various persons interested in the handling of the original and trust estates had mismanaged the affairs and failed to do the heirs jus- tice. Various charges were made with reference to the sale of certain properties at a ridiculously low figure, which were WITNESS fOR THE PEOPLE H. E. Snook Saw Durrant and Bianche Lamont Approach Emmanuel Church. IS CONFIDENT OF THE DATE, Testimony of the New Witness Con- sidered of Vital Importance by . Captain Lees. The prosecution in the Durrant case has at last found a witness whose evidence it believes will establish beyond all room for. doubt that Theodore Durrantaccompanied Blanche Lamont to Emmanuel Church the fatal afternoon in April. He is Harry E. Snook, assistant man- ager of the Golden Gate Undertaking Com- pany at 2429 Mission street. He believes he met Durrant and Blanche Lamont to- gether on Bartlett street, between Twenty- second street and Emmanuel Church, at about 4 o’clock the afternoon of April 3. Some days ago Captain Lees received a note from a ;Mr. Percy, who is the secre- tary of the Junior Order of American Me- chanics, stating thet he had heard Mr. Snook say he had met the young couple, as related. Captain Lees sent Detective Seymour to interview Mr. Snook last Sunday, and the information obtained then is considered of the greatest impertance by the police. Mr. Snook is a member of Emmanuel Church and an active worker in the En- deavor Society and was well acquainted with both Blanche Lamont and Durrant, as he met them often at services and at church gatherings. He could not there- fore be mistaken in his identification of either. The reason he has not come for- ward as a witness before is that for a long time he was not positive as to the exact date on which he saw the couple together, and although he felt certain it was April 3, he wasunwilling to be a witness until he could fix upon some incident by which he could recall it with certainty. He fixes the date now by a meeting he attended a few evenmings prior to April 3, and believes he can account ac- curately for the intervening time. He also fixes the date by the errand on which he was bound at the time. He was on his way to call on Miss Daisy M. Wilson concerning a money mafterin connection with a society to which they both belonged. Miss Wilson lives at 20515 Bartlett street. While walking along Bart- lett street, near Twenty-sécond, Snook claims to have passed the couple as they were nearing the church. He fixes the time by remembering that ke left his place of business, only a few blocks away, at a few minutes before 4 o’clock, Snooks is said to have conversed several times since on the subjeet with members of the church and.other friends, and has compared notes with Miss Wilson in the effort to arrive definitely at the date. Miss Wilson declined to be interviewed last evening, saying that Mr. Snook and the police are in possession of all the in- formation she had and that she preferred they should do the talking. Captain Lees was eiated last evening at the discovery of this new witness, from the trial, but whose identity has not as yet | [] been learned. It reads as follows: LAU UUH S N ‘I[]BKEY SACRAMENTO, Cal., Sept. 27, 1895. 5 Dear Sir: Wednesday P. . at 3 o'clock I tool a Powell-street car at Washington street to Market.

LATEST BERKELEY-TEMS, College Professors: and Em- ployes Get No Coin on . - Payday. City Trustess WIll Ba Asked to Call for Bonds of $100,000 for Schools. 3 BERKELEY, CaL., Oct. 1.—To-day was university pay-day, but the salary war- rants did not come from Governor Budd, and as'a result 170 employes, all the way from~ the ‘president to “Jimmie” the janitor, must stand off their grocerymen for a few days longer. A string of pro- fessors, instruciors, assistants, gardeners and janitors kept the door between the corridor of South Hall and the secretary’s office squeaking all day long as they fell into line with looks of ardent expectancy on their classic countenances, but they got | no coin. About $18,000 a month is paid over the counter in warrants to the uni- versity people, which averages about $100 apiece, and a delay in getting their allow- ances causes in many cases more than a sligh® disappointment, to say the least. Two months ago when a similar tardiness took place one of the rising instructors ad- mitted to a friend that he had paid his last 10-cent piece for a baby rattle, and be- cause of this had to borrow a dollar to pay his way home. All these things are not to be wondered at when six days are the shoriest possible time in which a check for one of tLe pro- fessors can reach him after the payroll is prepared. Toward the close of month the list of activeemployesand their allowances is made out at the secretary’s office in Berkeley, itemizedand sent to the finance committee of the Board of Regents, consisting of Messrs. Halladie, Miller and Hellman. They audit it and send it back to ‘the secretary, who sends the roll to President Kellogg. The secretary gets it again and sends it to the Governor, who signs each requistion, even to the armorer’s petty expense bill. ‘Secretary Bonte then UNIVERSITY EMPLOYFS LINE UP AT SECEETARY BONTE’S OFFICE TO RECEIVE THEIR MONTHLY SALARY WARRANTS, afterward sold at an advance of thousands of dollars. Mrs. Chaigneau, young Kennedy’s grandmother, also asserted that she had not received a cent of a $5000 legacy left her by heér daughter, Mrs. Edward Ken- redy Sr., and also that a $2000 bequest had been left to another daughter by Mrs. Kennedy, and that the legatee under that clause had not received a penny. A report was filed by young Kennedy yes- terdafi, the same having been prepared by J.J. Roach, his attorney, in wgich the former modifies many of the statements made to Attorneys Linforth and McPike and also repeated in the presence of others. This report prepared by Attorney Roach for young Kennedy makes it appear that the latter was either carried away by his feelings in the matter or was notin full Fosseusion of the facts he discussed so reely. After seiting forth the circum- stances connected with the death of the elder Kennedy in 1873, the provisions of the will as already publishgd, and the appointment of Theron R. Hopkins and L. L. Blood as executors of the estate and also custodians of the trust established for the children and to be held until the youngest heir became of age, goes on to state that after the probating of the will the executors filed an inventory and ap- praisement of the property of the said es- tate, from which it appeared that there were be]ongindg to the said estate at the time of the death of said Edward Ken- nedy the following pieces of land in said City and County : A piece of land on Gold street, appraised at $35,000; property on the northwest cor- ner of Pacific and Front streets, appraised at $45,000; oaflgiece of property on Pacific street, 316, ; property on the corner of Hyde and Bay streets, $4500; property on Francisco street, $1200; property on the corner of Bay and Hyde'streets, §3000; un- divided interest in a piece of land known as Point Penas, in Monterey County, ap- E_raised at $200; making a total of §$63,900. 'hat Edward Kennedy at the time of his death was lnrgelfv indebted and his execu- tors were campelled to sell all of the per- sonal property of his estate, together with the property situated on Gold street, for the purpose of paying the debts and liabil- ities of the estate; that onthe 25th day of January, 1877, a decree of distribution was made in the said estate, giving one undi- vided one-half of said real estate to the Blood ana Hopkins in trust for the benefit of the children, and the other undivided one-half was distributed to Amelia Marie Kennedy; that in addition to the said real estate there were distributed to the said trustees the sum of $176 31, and the same amount to Amelia Marie Kennedy. * * * The sum of $352 62 divided between the trustees and Mrs. Amelia Marie Kennedy is represented as being all the cash on band, after disposing thé personal and some other property, to pay the debts of the elder Kennedy. whose testimony he expects the veople’s case to profit so much. ~He said: “I have believed for some time that Snock was in possession of vitally impor- tant information, but we have been unable hitherto to get at the facts, owing to his disinclination to talk until he was cer- tain of the date. There is no doubt as to that now, however, and I think the defense will find 1t difficult to combat the evidence he will give. He is young; there is noth- ing the matter with his eyesight and he knew the parties well. I think his. testi- mony will settle all doubt about Durrant’s takine the girl to the church.’’ To-day’s session of the trial will be de- voted to the examination of the students of the senior class of Cooper Medical Col- lege who were classmates of Durrant. They have all been summoned and will be called to testify to-day. The object in calling the whole class is that thedefense wishes to settle the dis- pute concerning Dr. Cheney’s rollcall, Following are the students who have been subpenaed : M. 0. Austin, E.

McCoy was seen last evening rela- tive to his having been cited to appear for contempt of court for uttering a threat to L J. Truman, one of the jurors. He said: . “Imet Mr. Truman on the car. 1 think it was coming down from the noon recess last Thursday. Iknow him very well, and we are very good friends. Unthinkingly I said: ‘If vou don’t hang that fellow, f{u bang you.” I saw in a moment I had made a mistake, for I was talking to a juryman. Of course, I was only jokin and didn’t think what I was saying. I di not mean anything at all, and it was merely a foolish slip of the tongue, I was sorry the moment aiter that I said such a thing, and am now. He made no reply and I said nothing further on the subject. ‘1 was very much surprised when I was notified this morning of the action of the court, as I did not suppose Mr. Truman, knowing me as he does, could possibly have taken sme seriously.” Last evening a letter was received at TrE CALL office purporting to have been written by the mysterious medical man who has bobbed upat intervals all through ) fixes his signature to the lot, when they are sent to San Francisco again to be signed by Treasurer Sloss.

No coin passes over the uniyer- sity counter, and so the checks must be cashed elsewhere. Such is the course of the little slip of paper through the agency of which the State employes at Berkeley are enabled to get their daily bread. High-School Matters Discussed. A joint session was held last evening be- tween the Board of Education and the committee on sites from the Town Board for the purposé of framing a set of resolu- tions to be presented to the Board of Trustees at their next meeting pertinent to the guestion of erecting a new high- school building. Various pieces of property which might be suitable sites for the proposed new high and grammar school buildings were dis- cussed at length, but no action was taken regarding them. t was decided to ask the Board of Trustees to call for §100,000 under the bond system, $70,000 of which should be ex- pended ob a high school bailding and site and $30,000 be&ut into grammar school %xildings for West Berkeley and Dwight ay. 3 A Building Burned. A two-story dwelling-house on Blake and Milvia streets, belonging to J. N. Will- iams of the Four-mile House at Claremont, has burned to the ground through an un- known cause. The single inmate admit- ted having cooked his dinner last evening in the house, but said he turned out the light in the oil-stove beiore leaving for the night, and in consequence could give no idea as to.the origin of the blaze. The property was insured-for $500. Athletic Executive Committee. The athletic executive committee of the university bas decided to retain instead of xelinguishing the homnor of electing the president of the Western Intercollegiate Association, and will take immediate action in that direction, This is an honor which falls to the college winning the championship of the Western Intercol- ' legiate, and. as the victors of '95, the Uni- versity of California will have the distinc- tion of naming a man for the office. Itis probable that some one now at Berkeley will be chosen. Colonel Edwards, Profes- sor Clapp, Arthur North, '96, and Captain Koch, ’86, have been mentioned as suit- able men for the position. —_————— ¢ W. F. Goad Not Seriously Ill. The announcement in one of the papers last evening that W. Frank Goad, attorney and capitalist, had been stricken with paralysis and was dangerously ill was somewhat exag- gerated. Mr. Goad was affected with stomach every | trouble Monday and forced to retire, but last evening he was very much improved and there was no cause for alarm. A Youngster Who Has Landed Thirty-Nine Winners in Ten Months. SUCCESS OF A SMALL RIDER. He Lost a Place by Winning a Race, but Won $800 for the Young Woodlander. Henry Wilson, a jockey, was brought from the East by Henry W. Laugenour a few days ago, and will, if he kéeps up his record, cut a wide swath at the races this year. Wilson is a bright-faced colored boy who rides at 85 pounds. He has been rid- ingonly ten months, and in that brief time has landed thirty-nine winners. “The boy isone of the best track.generals I ever saw,” said Mr. Laugenour yester- day. “Heis small and light, but he can Henry Wilson, Laugenour’s Phenom- enal Jockey. [From a photograph.] lift a horse’s head at the finish of a race as few such light boys can, and thus help the horse to win. “‘Isaw the boy first at the recent meet in Kansas City. He was riding for Henry Bimons, a wealthy Jewish horseman, who had a string of twelve horses. The third day of the meeting Wilson was mounted on Fanny Hunt. The betting stood 12 to 1 against the little mare, but I liked the horse and I liked the boy, so I backed them to win over $800. Then I went to the boy and said: ‘See here, if ‘you come in first I will give you $20." * At the start, Wilson got off second. In obedience to instructions, he held the mare in, falling back to third place. There he stayed till the last sixteenth was reached. Then he gave the mare the whip and forged ahead, going under the wire with a half length to the good. ‘“The race cracked the association pookies. They turned their boards around and offered no more odds that day. Simons, his master, lost, and, furious at losing, took the boy into a stall and began tobeat him. I was just coming up to pay the lad the $20, then, and arrived in the nick of time to save the youngster’s hide. *I at once took him into my employ. He gets $1200 a year and a special fee for every race he wins. He has already won eight races for me, thongh he has been in my employ only five weeks.” ‘Wilson was born in Memphis, Tenn. He ran away from home in 1891 and went to work inthestable of Jim Brown, a noted horseman of Jackson, Tenn, who was killed a short time ago at Chicago. His first race was run for J. T. Doyle, when he landed May Blossom second at St. Louis last November. He then went to work for Bill Smith of East St. Louis, and nis fourth mount won him his reputation. He was riding Win- field, .t Nashville—a 50 to 1 shot. The favorite “Toots” was ridden hy ‘“‘Soup” Perkins, a noted jockey. “Toots” took the lead at the start with Winfield secona.
