DEUPREY 15 STLL SIK, ' DURRANT'S ATTORNEY WAS NoOT ABLE T0 BE Up ALL DAY YESTERDAY. | | | ORGANIST KING CONTRADICTS THE SToRY OF BOOTBLACK WILsON. It is somewhat doubtful whether Attor- ney Deuprey will be able to be present at | the Durrant trial if General Dickinson concludes to have 1t go on to-day. Gen- | eral Dickinson has said that he would not ask for any continuance, but. Mr. Deuprey was still confined to his bed yesterday evening. Another new witness has been found by | the prosecution, but the defense does not | appear to be much troubled about it. The new witness is a colored bootblack, fam: | jarly called “Budd” Wilson, who has no | settled place of abode. Captain Lees | stated yesterday that Wilson would be d as a witnes! Formerly Wilson had a shoe-shining stand in Samuel Kaminski's barber-shop on Valencia street, near Twenty-second. Kaminski has not had a barber-shop there | for several months, so Wilson has changed his stand and is now located in Schroeder’s arber-shop on Mission street, near Twen- son’s story is that Durrant and King frequently came in togetlier to have their shoes shined while he w: aminski's, and were in the habit of talking about the girls they induced to go with them to I manuel Church. He he knew King and Durrant well. Wilson is reported to | bave said: | I learned from those two boy: that they were taking girl: Ioften heard them fell re and of the diff them to the churc sed to go to the chu Tae people in the Mis- much they : all belong to table families and the worst of it all is | that their parents never dreamed that such things were going on 1 four who wen hem to know, but I think they af names. | Barber Schroeder stated yesterday after- noon that Wilson had been in his place for about four months and had never opened Lis mouth about the Durrant case before to any one. George R. King was seen at his residence yesterday afternoon. He was very much astonished at the statements made by Wilson. He said: Inever wen of three or e three or st of girls e church.

He alw; shined them at home, he said unless ne was downtown, when sometimes Le had them blackened in Brooke street, between Market and Gear: “I don’t know this Wilson,” he said; ““in fact, I do not know any colored men in the Mission district that shine shoes. Why, I naven’t been in any 1 ber-shop up in that neighborhood for three or four years. I believe the last time I was in a barber-shop there was in 1332, when I had | my bair cut pompadour 1 one on Mission street near Twer ond. I do not know the barber-shop ~alluded to as ‘Sam’s Piace.” 1did not o into any of the shops | on Valencia street at a! ; BIDDING FOR PLAYERS, The Reliance-Olympic Strife for Foot- ball Material. | The eompetition between the Reliance and Olympic clubs for available football material has developed into something more than the friendly rivalry supposed to be engendered by true amateur athletics. President Fitzgerald of the Reliance Club has spoken in reproachful terms of at- tempts said to bave been made on this side | of the bay to secure some of his best foot- | ball players, and now the Olympics sre in- dignant at the implication of unamateur practices on their part. Charles J. Bosworth, secretary of the Olympic Club, said Jast night that in the | case of Wilbur, an ex ance player, he | cannot play with ai m because he is an apprentice at the Union Iron Works and cannot get off unless throuch efforts that may be exerted by J. . B. Gunn, who is also an Olympic; and if those efforts be successful Wilbur will of course play with the Olympic team; but that his father will not hear to his attempting to play where there is any danger of his losing his posi tion in consequence of absence. Bosworth denies indignantly that any attempts have ever been made to hire players, and points to the men on the board of dir TS as proof that no such doubtful athletic prac- tices would be tolerated, and that no 1ndj. viduals in the team are wealthy enough to hire a player. *‘Pete’” Smith, captain of the Olympics, was ulso very much aroused over the ac- cusation of the Reliance president, and re- marked that the Reliance Club were “a nice lot to talk of clean athletics and breaking up teams, when they had en- ticed several of the St. Mar; players away, and completely that college team for this year. Captain McMillan said last night that he regretted the publicity of the inter-club _' | ill-feeling; that he personally had friends in both clubs; that he had been offered a position in the City indirectly from the Olympics, through some of theirmembers, but that he could not take it and leave the captaincy that ne had acceptea after once resigning. e The words “Emerald Isle,” as applied to | Ireland, were first used by Dr. Drenigan in | @ poem entitled “*Erin.” MILK RUNS LIKE WATER, NSPECTOR DOCKERY MAKES AN EARLY MORNING RAID IN THE MISSION, MANY ARRESTS FOR TO-DAY. TeE ALERT OFFICIAL WILL Nor DesisT IN His FIGHT FOR PURE MILK. Inspector Dockery continues his relent- less warfare against the tricky milkmen who find it profitabie to mix a few pints of water with each three-gallon can of milk. | Nothing seems to check the earnestness of | the Inspector, whether the undertaking be | fraught with danger or a mere matter of | waking a midnight stand at some popular | milk depot and remaining there until 9 or | 10 o'clock next morning. | Thisis just what Mr. Dockery did yes- | terday morning. In company with a CALL representative, who had been invited to go | along “just to see how the thing was | done,” the Inspector drove to the milk | depot, corner of Mission and Eighteenth | nothing but the little chain attaching the top to the can. It was noticeable that cans without special marks of identification were generally of very poor quality. The Emhoff dairy wagons came very near losing their load, the milk showing up under the test only one-fifth of one per cent higher than the standard. The American deiry also had a close call, there being just 3 per cent butter fat in the sample examined. Of the fifteen samples from as many dairies examined during the morning the San Bruno dairy showed up the best, the specific gravity showing 10.34, with a frac- tion over 4 per cent of butter fat, ° Inspector Dockery was careful to take samples of all the milk tested, and it was his belief that many of those which barely passed the standard will, under chemical analysis, be found seriously faulty. He looked for eight or ten arrests to result from his early morning labors, though ncne were absolutely certain excepu those mentioned. Mr. Dockery gaveall the interested milk- men an opportunity to see just how the Babcock test was made, and with one ex- ception they acknowledged that it was perfectly fair and correct. The one excep- tion was Alexander Simon, and he will be given an opportunity to state his reasons in the Police Court ‘during the coming week. THEY BROKE HIS JAW. Young Hoodlums Assault George P. Wilson With Rocks. George P. Wilson had his jaw broken by | i i | s I DOCKERY THRI [Sketched by a NSPECTOR OWING THE “Call” artist.) MILE AWAY, | | streets, reaching that point at1a.M. On | tire way to the milkmen’s rendezvous sev- cral extra early venders were stopped and | required to furnish samples of milk. In | each instance the specific gravity showed | | better than the required 10.29 and so the | grumbling drivers were allowed to goon | their way. It was nearly 2 o’clock when the first | wagon drove up to the Mission-street de- | pot, but a few moments later they began | to arrive in twos and threes, and then in | | droves. It is safe to say that many of them were afterward sorrv that they came at all, for some eight or ten arrests ¢ill be made to-day as the result of the in- | spection. Altogether about fifteen tests | were made yesterday morning, and out of | this number only three or four could safely be assumed as above suspicion in the matter of adulterants. In consequence of this there was a great | outpeuring of milk and water in which the dairies of Simon Bros., John Christian and Fred Gioldi furnished tbe milk, and | nature the other ingredient. The Humboldt dairy, of which Christian | & Gioldi are the proprietors, came first | nder the ban of the Inspector.’ The test | showed a specific gravity of 10.20, with 2 per cent of butter fat. Dockery wisely | | shook his head, and asked Christian how mmuch water he had put in each can. The dairyman at first stoutly denied the pres- ence of any foreign body in the milk, but finally admitted that they sometimes put { from a quart to three pints in each can. | That settled it with Mr. Dockery. With | a sort of grim smile of satisfaction he | walked to the Humboldt wagon, and in | less than fifteen minutes emptied thirty- one cans of milk and water and three cans of pure water into the street. Christian pleaded for the disappointea customers. Personally he didn’t care what became of it, but that sort of talk aidn’tin- fluence the Milk Inspector. He kept on with the work until the last can was emptied, and then, turning to Christian, toid him that he and his partner would be arrested to-day. The wagon of Simon Brothers, propri- etors of a large dairy in South San Fran- cisco, came up about this time, and the | driver, Alexander Simon, offered a can for inspection. It proved to be one-fifth bet- ter in butter fat than the milk just turned into the gutter, but still two-fifths per cent below the standard. In addition to this little failing in the matter of butter fat, | the test showed the presence of 33 per cent of water. Simon vigorously denied any knowledge as to the manner in which the water came into the milk, confidently assuring Mr. Dockery that the Babcock test was of no | | earthly account. This wasall very well in | its way, but it aid not prevent Mr. Simon’s customers from gazing into empty milk- | i pails this morning. The wagon yielded twenty-four cans of milk and six cans of water, all of which was soon chasing Christian’s milk and water down the Mission-street gutter. Simon Brothers will be arrested to-day. Milk from the Sunny Vale Dairy proved | to be up to the standard. And yet in the | wagon were found four cans of water, which the driver ingeniously explained | was for the purpose of “kinder balancing | things.” J : A peculiar incident of the nrnht’s in- spection turned up in the Baden dairy. Alt | seems that this place supplied John David- | son with a wagon load of milk each morn- ing. The milk intended for Davidson showed under the test 34-5 per cent of butter fat, while the Baden wagon proper was just within the limit. In this connection it may be well to state that most of the wagons inspected had from two to three qualities of milk on board. For instance, one can would have a twine string tied across the top, another a couple of straws sticking out the side, while the third would be adorned with | ARNOLD W. LEITCHE some young hoodlums yesterday. Wilson is an oid sailor. who lives in a shanty under the shadow of the bluff on which | | the Sailor’'s Home stands. With another old salt he makes his living by manufac- turing and selling a patent fire-starter. The two old men have been annoyed by the boys who congre. ate at the corner of Spear and Harrison streets. Every Sunday they have made the little whitewashed shanty a target for all the missiles they could gather together. The anger of the occupants pleased them and as the police were not present they pur- sued their persecution of their victims in safety. Yesterday they began pelting the place as usual. Wilson ran out after them. He was met with a shower of stones and bricks. One of them broke his jaw. WHY 1AM A SOCALET, GIVES His REASONS FOR His CONVICTIONS. A LARGE ATTENDANCE AT THE MEETING OF THE AMERICAN SECTION. An enthusiastic meeting under the aus- pices of the American section of the So- cialist Labor party was held in Pythian Castle last night. Chairman Zaust called the assemblage to order and introduced Mr. Aspen, who rendered two or three recitations. Music followed and the speaker of the evening, Arnold W. Leitche, held the at- tention of the audience for nearly two hours. Mr. Leitche is a forcible and pleasing speaker. He told his hearers why he was a social- ist, and made it clear that those who em- braced socialistic theories have many strong arguments on theirside of the polit- ical and economic problems. “The time has come,’”’ he said, ‘for men to look to their property rights. The rich men and monopolists are gaining in power daily and the poor man—laborer and slave of capital—stands back and sees his inali- enable rights as a free,born citizen taken from him. The time_is ripe for the enact- ment of laws in the interest of the many instead of the few. »“We see on every hand men who are able to amass their millions with compar- ative ease, 1n contrast with others who are struggling with warrior’s courage to feed baby mouths and keep the howling wolf of poverty from the door. If these money kings of the day can pile up their millions at the rate of hundreds of thousands a week there is no reason why these same kings of finance should not be able to own the wealth of the world. Such conditions as make it possible for the carrying on ef gigantic financial schemes like thisare a perpetual menace to the peace and pros- perity of mankind. *‘Under our republican form of govern- ment every man has a right to demand just compensation for his labor and an equal advantage in the pursuit of pros- perity and happiness. ‘-Under the Xresent conditions these rights are denied him, not by enunciatory law or proclamation, but as ‘an inevitable result of circumstances prevailing in the commercial and industrial world. It is time for action. Every man who has an idea of embracing the_socialistic theories cannot belp but appreciate the momentous importance of the problems which stare us in the face.” > After Lawyer Leitche's adlress a num- ber of five-minute speeches were made by members of the section and outsiders who wished to present their views on the prob- lems presented for discussion i e imenT o e If you want to keep your skin soft and clever never use hard water for washing the face, as it _dries the skin. If you have to use it, add borax or a few drops of am- monia, a teaspoonful to a larze bowlful of water being about the quantity. | | | | MRS, BOOTH WAS BUSY, THE COMMANDER OF THE SALVA- TION ARMY DOES A GOOD DAY'S WORK. IN CHURCH, SLUM AND PRISON. ‘WORDS OF FAREWELL AT THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL—THE ARMY'S AUXILIARY. Mrs. Ballington Booth, the celebrated Salvation Armyist, delivered her farewell public address in this City at the First Congregational Church last night. She laid stress upon the religious belief of the army and explained the general character of its work among those of the lowest classes, whose reform is not so per- sistently attempted by others. Long before the hour for the lecture the church, on the corner of Post and Mason streets, was crowded far beyond its seating capacity of 1500, and when Mrs. Booth ap- peared on the platform and gently ex- tended her hands in a gesture of silence to the applanse that suddenly broke forth as she was introduced there were fully 2200 people in the great throng. Mrs. Ballington Booth is the daughter- in-law of General Booth of London, the head of the Salvation Army, and she lives in New Jersey, although her headquarters are in New York City. This is her third visit to the coast as a lecturer, an organ- izer and now, with the army itselt, as a general. She is a young, pretty, litlle woman with a genial, happy expression and very agreeable voice and easy conversational style of delivery. That she is a tireless worker is evident from her activity yester- day alone after nearly a week of daily ad- dresses. She did not reach San Quentin until about 1 o’clock Sunday morning, yet she was busy at 8 o’clock addressing the prisoners. At 11 o’clock she was conduct- ing a consecration service at the Calvary Presbyterian Church in this City. At 3 o’clock in the afternoon she was lecturing at the same church on the “Slum and Rescue Work of the Salvation Army,”” and last night she led in the singing, deliv- ered a long address and took a most active part in a meeting that began at half-past 7 and continued for over two hours. To-day M1s. Booth will continue in her busy work on the coast. She will inspect the Salvation Army’s Orphan Home on Bryant street, where some thirty little rescued children are being cared for; the army’s Refuge on Jackson street, where about 150 men congregate every night, and the lunchroom, where meals are served to the very poor for 5 cents. In addition to | thisinspecting and advisory work she will deliver an address befcre the Channing Auxiliary. It is probable that Mrs. Booth will re- turn to San Franciico after she has lec- tured in the towns of Southern California, as she wishes to address the Salvation Army auxiliaries that have become inter- ested in the work of the army since her ar- rival on the coast for the purpose of ex- tending the auxiliary idea. The auxiliary is as far as public identi- fication and work in the cause goes en- tirely independent of the army. Three things oniy are required of the members: | To speak a good word for the Salvation | Army, to pray for the Salvation Army.and to pay $5 a year to it and receive its publi- cations. Already Mrs. Booth has enrolled 5000 members in the United States, and at last night’s meeting fifty-one more members | were added to the auxiliary. A colored trio, consisting of Private | Beck, his wife and youthful daughter, put ood humor before Mrs. y singing some Salvation | everybody in Booth’s arrival | songs in true plantation style. In re- | sponse to repeated encores the jolly pair | nearly convulsed the audience with their | facial expressions and swaying bodies as they lost themselves in the chorus, “Didn’t cld Pharo get lost, get lost, in the red Red Sea?” The Charioteer band played several pieces and accompanied the songs, in which the great body of the audience was able to join by the aid of army songbooks distributed throughout the house. Mrs. Booth said that she would talk rap- idly, as she sympathized with the hun- dreds who were compelled to stand. After nientioning the pleasure she felt in re- turning to this City and in the prospects that she found here, she traced the devel- opment of the army from the time when people used to laugh at it as the erratic undertaking of a few on new paths until the present time, when people have begun osee some of the great work it is doing among the lower classes, in the siums and with the degraded and abandoned. Continuing Mrs. Booth said: “Those who simply saw the Salvation Army as they marched on the street used to think it was a_short-lived barlesque on Chris- tianity; but now itis attracting interest in reforms that it bas taken up. “For every one in the fold there are ninety-nine out in the cold, and it is those that the Salvation Army would bring to Christianity. Those who have' looked on the inside have seen that the Salvation Army is a great force in touching a class hat others cannot. They have read ‘In Darkest England,” how we have cared for little babies, for drunkards, and fed thou- sands of the needy. “The Salvation Army has not found its vocation in social reforms alone, as many of the doubzinxr' ones think. If my stay in this City should accomplish nothing else but emphasize one thing, I would wish this to be noted: Now I am here to say that the Salvation Arm{' is a_religious or- ganization, an extremely religious organ- ization; it is_through and through a re- ligious organization. “There was a frontispiece to the War Cry once of a life_boat, in the stern of which sat General Booth, while all round in the water were struggling humanity The general was extending his hand to one 07 the poor creatures. My little boy looked at the picture curiously and then asked: *Is grandpa trying to help that man out or is he only shaking hands with him?' That characterizes certain methods of reform work. The Salvation Army tries not only toshake hands, but to get a strong grip and to pull the man up. *‘Whether our people be educated or un- educated—and we have many of both— they are all educated in the love of God. “In order to deal with people deep in vice we must go to them clothed in purity that they may be made not to look up to us, but to realize that what God has done for us he will do for them. If weare to teach the drunkard and the moral leper of to-day we must go to them with purity, and this is one of the bowers of the Salva- tion Army. ““It avails little to give those who know- no love the simple text, ‘God is love’; some of the human love must g0 along with it. The Salvation Army tries to have the indi- vidual become a Christian without chang- ing his place of living. “In San Quentin there are thirty convicts who have joined the army since lhsf' have been contined. One of the most pleasing sights that I have witnessed on my pres- ent visit to this coast was this morning when, in response to my invitation, as two convicts came forward and said they would give their lives to God, two men in stripes stepped up and put their arms around them and embraced them for it. They were the Salvationists. I could tell them at a glance.” Mrs. Booth told several interesiing stories of rescues in New York prisons and of subsequent pardons and reforms, and | | all her stories were aptly illustrative of some principle she wished to demonstrate. OLYMPIC HANDBALL. Part of the Big Tournament Played at the Outside Grounds Yesterday. Yesterday the handball tournament that the members of the Olympic Club have been talking of for some weeks past, was vartly played off. There was not time to | allow ell the team to enter the contest, but most of the biz matches were won and lost and then the remaining ones were left for next Sunday. The first-class players furnished some- thing of a surprise in the opening game, when Ebner and McVickor beat McEiroy and Sullivan. The latter team was consid- ered one of the best in the club. Johns and Hampton beat Allison and Morton and now Ebner and McVictor and Johns and Hamoton will have to try for the first prize of the first class. In the second class Emmons and Harri- son beat Howard and Horace Coffin, and werein turn beaten by Collins and Smith. Collins and Smith also beat the Coftins, which leaves them entirely out of .the race. In the third class Cunningham and Bush hold first honors so far. NATIONAL LABOR ARMIES, UNATTACHED BODIES OF WORK- INGMEN ACQUIRE MILITARY KNOWLEDGE. THOUGH THE ARMY DIFFERs FrRoM THE TRADES CounciL It Is GROWING FAST. A number of people, who are interested in socialistic and labor maiters, have been under the imvression that the National Labor Army of this City had gone out of existence because there had not been any public demonstration of activity of late, and because the members had not been drilling at 1159 Mission street for the last three weeks. The army is still in existence, and to-duy there are the names of about | 1200 members enrolled on the books. From the beginning to the present time | the army has been steadily increasing in its membership and has spread toother cities on the coast, and at Los Angeles and San Diego there are strong enthusiastic auxiliary bodies to the army. A prominent member, in discussing the army, said yesterday: Our army exists in several parts of the | United Stafes. and is growing in strength, in fluence, wenlth and finances every week. It is not known everywhere as the Nationa! Labor Army, but it is the principle that underlies | and not the name theat counts. In Montana it is called the Miners' and in Iowa it is called the Farmers' These and others are drilling the same as w areon this coast. For all the difference in Idal | names there is an understanding and sym- pathy among all these organizations, an time their power and strength will be felt. The local army recently received a re- buff, so the members believe, at in the hands of the Trades Council of San | Francisco. An application was made for a representation of the army in the counc The request was refused on the ground that the National Labor Army did not represent any distinct branch of labor. “The result of that action,” said the labor soldier quoted, ‘‘was that the Ameri- can Railway Union, of which I am a member, withdrew its delegate from the Trades Counci Th decorators and 0.
