THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1895. LABOR STANDS FIRM. REDUCED FREIGHT RATES URGED BY SACRAMENTO COUNCIL, STRIKE AT THE OCTOPUS ACTION OF THE LATE S0-CALLED INDIGNATION MEETING DENOUNCED. STANTON AND LA RUE PRAISED. THE ATTORNEY- GENERAL PETI- TIONED TO STAND BY THE PEOPLE'S GUNS. SACRAMENTO, Car, Oct. Federated Trades Council of this city has utterly repudiated the action taken by the so-called labor indignation meeting held last Saturday night in Armory Hall, at| which the action of the Railroad Commis- sioners, in ordering a reduction of 25 per cent in freight rates in certain localities, was denounced, and has offered a series of resolutions, which were passed unani- mously. They are as folloy We beg leave to offer the following preamble and resol ons, d we move their adoption as the sense of this body of representative wage-ear WHER A5, Some 300 railroad shop employes and others did on Saturday evening, Oc- tober 9, in defiance of and without regard y organ Jabor, in mass- mee assembled, pass resolu- tions denoun the Railroad Commis- sioners of the of California, & constitu- tional executive body, duly and properly elected by the sovereign people of this State, for having well and faithfully performed their duty to the people aforesaid according to their ante-election pledges and their oaths of oftice; and Whereas, The said railroad claim that they would be forcement of the pr Commissioners, en; wade by said efore they are now attempting to intimidate and influence said Commissioners to repudiate their pledges made through their party to fied electors of this State at the last State election and violate their several oaths of officeand to compel them to become recreant to the trust reposed in them by the sovereign people, for the sole benefit of putting un- earned coin into the already bulging ex- chequer of the greatest and most soulless monopoly on the Pacific Coast to-day, and for the further purpose of strengthening the well- nigh overwhelming grasp of the said corpora- tion upon the throats of our people: and Whereas, the present Railroad Commission is the first one since the inceptionof the con- stitutional law creating such commission which has made the slightest attempt to obey the will of the people as against the extortion- ate methods of corporate monopoly in this State; therefore be it Resolved, That it is the sense of Sacramento Council of Federated Trades that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company is paying no more wages to its employes to-day than it is com- pelied to pay in order to obtain the skilled labor it requires; that the wages of labor in the railroad branch of industry is subject to the same conditions that prevail in all other branches of industry, and that increased earn- ings of the corporation simply and solely result in greater dividends to the stockholders and higher salaries to the already high-salaried officers in control of said corporation. Resolved, That even were the claim of the em- ploves true, i. e.: “That the proposed cut in transportation rates would compel the com- pany to- cut wages correspondingly,” still wou'd they be not entitled io consideration in view of the fact that the classes of our com- monwealth who would be benefited by cheaper transportation for the products of their labor would so far outnumber the railroad employes as to leave them entirely out of the considera- tion of the subject matter. Resolved, That it is a fundamental principle of our great American liberty, and one of the main bulwarks of our free American institu- tions, that all citizens presenting themselves | before the American people for office should not only outline their policy but should pledge themselves to the qualified electors to carry out that policy.and that after being elected and qualifying they should faithfully perform their duties to the people according to their pledges. Resolved, That the present Railroad Commis sion of the State of California has, so far asit has gone, kept its pleages to the people and is entitled to the ntmost encouragement and support of the citizens of this commonwealth, irrespective of party, and they are hereby commended by this organization of citizen wage-earners for their faithfulness and loyalty to their sworn duty. Resolved, That the Attorney-General of this State, be encouraged and aided as much as possible in the performance of his duty in the action now pending in the Federal Circuit Court; that this organization, while hay- ing great confidence in his integrity and abil- ity, realizes the vast amount of work to be | done and the momentous issues involved, and would request that he employ special counsel to aid him in the great work before him to the end that the people’s best interest be subserved regardless of cost, sinceall possi- ble cost would be a thousand times compen- sated for if the case is saved to the common- wealth. Resolved, That the Saeramento Council of Federated Trades repudiates the action of said meeting and commends the action taken by said Railroad Commission. Resolved. That & copy of these resolutions be sent forthwith to each Railroed Commissioner and to the Attorney-General of the State of California and to th ario WSpADETS. - MAY LEAD 70 A STRIKE. Huntington’s Threat to Cut Wages Causes Disquietude. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Oct. 22.—Tt is evi- dent that considerable uneasiness exists among the employes of the S8outhern Pa- cific Railroad Company’s shops in this | eity as to the effect the horizontal reduc- tion of 25 per cent in freight rates will have on the payroll. It is claimed that there are rumors of a prospective cut in the number of em- ploves, and that the workers in the pipe department are threatened with a reduc- tion in wages. Whether this 1s but the precursor of a general wage reduction, | or whether it is but a warning of what may be expected should by those employes who fail to sign the protest which was formulated and presented be- fore the so-termed indignation labor meet- ing held at’ Armory Hall Saturday even- ing, is a question that is being anxiously discussed in all the departments of the system. At this meeting considerable stress was laid upon the fact that the reduction in freight rates was a horizontal one; but this, it is claimed, is a perversion of the truth, as the reduction apvlies not to the system as an- entirety, but to certain lo- calities. The greater number of the company’s employes do not stand by the resolutions of the indignation meeting, and consider- able discussion has arisen as to the conse- quences should C. P. Huntington attempt to make a reduction of 25 per cent in the salary list. Would it superinduce another strike, or e en- | the quali- | | would the employes, with the suffering entailed upon them by the sympathetic strike of last summer still fresh in their | memory, meekly accept the ultimatum of “\Ir. Huntington and labor on without protest? This latter alternative is thought to be | extremely aoubtful from the fact that | to-day the American Railway Union claims | to be stronger numerically and financially than ever before, and members of that | order openly declare that should oc- casion demand a strike that would mean the annihilation of the system under the present management, and a demand from the entire population of the coast, that all further chance of strife and tur- moil be obviated by the management | being assumed by the Government, would at once be inaugurated. SACRAMENTO BURGLARS. One Member of a Notorious Gang Turns State’s Evidence in the Verhein Examination. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Oct.22.—A burglar took the witness-stand in the Police Court | to-day and, turning State’s evidence, told the operations in Sacramento for the past year of the gang to which he belonged. The testimony was given in the case of | William H. Verhein on preliminary ex- amination on a charge of receiving stolen with the knowledge that they were good | stolen. | Verhein has been conducting the no- | torious Gold Dust saloon, a resort for | bunko-steerers, confidence men, thieves and burglars. For a long time the police | had their eye on this place, but not until recently was its true nature known. | During the months of January and Feb- ;ru 'y there was but little crime in this i All through the summer, however, | there wash series of burglaries, and the | amount of goods stolen ran into the thou- | sands of dollars. | t Waggoner, who turned State's | eviden stated that he and four others had taken part in no less than eight Lurg- laries in Sacramento during the past_six | months. The proceeds were taken to Ver- | hein, who bought them. | Verhein knew the goods were stolen, be- | cause they told him so, and as a rule in- | formed him of the exact places where they | came from. In the case of a bicycle stolen from Major Weinstock’s, they made an ar- | rangement with him to buy it before it was stolen. | Waggoner said that those who com- mitted the burglaries with him were “Kid" Lewis, Forest Murray and John Rankia. There was another fellow, but he could not remember his name. The police know the gang well, but all of them fled from the city as soon as they learned of Vorhein’s arrest, and as yet none have been captured, except Wag goner, who will not be prosecuted, having | been 'promised immunity on account of having turned State’s evidence. THE SWNOD AT SAN JOSE THE RETENTION OF DR. MACKENZIE THE SUBJECT OF HEATED DEBATE. |REV. MR. ELLIs AND DRs. DINs- MORE AND RICE ENGAGE IN A WoRDY COMBAT. SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 22.—The opening session of the Presbyterian Synod this morning was devoted to the reconsidera- | tion of the recommendation of the com- | mittee of the Theological Seminary that | Dr. Robert Mackenzie be exempt from the | resolution, and that he be allowed to fill | his chair 1n the seminary and retain his | pastorate in his church. i The resolution was adopted last night and the ma tter was up on reconsideration. At the opening of the synod Dr. Conklin H made a motion that the recommendations | of the committee be reconsidered, as it | was the most supreme folly that had ever | been committed. He said there was only | one way for the synod to get out of the | distasteful position in which it had placed | itself, and that was to rescind the action | taken 1ast night. | Dr. Breck tayored rescinding the action taken, and said that it was a partiality that was unfair and unjust, and would lesd only to jealousy and personal ill feeling. Dr. P. D. Young and Dr. Alex- ander spoke in a similar strain. A vote was taken on the motion to drop the entire matter. The motion was lost by a vote of 47 t0 35. A vote to lay the matter on the table was lost by a vote of 56 in favor to 32 against, a two-thirds vote being necessary. Dr. Arthur Crosby introduced the fol- lowing resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the directors be requested, in view of existing circumstances, to suspenc the operations of the resolution 'of January 14, 1892, and of ‘their subsequent action in con’ formity therewith. The section of the report of the theolog- ical seminary committee which nominated Reys. James Curry, G. W. Lyons, W. B. Noble and Elders™ R. J. Trumbull, W. W. Cookins and A. W. Foster as directors of the seminary for three years was then taken up. The resignation of A. W. Foster, who is the president of the North Pacific Railroad Company, was read, and, after the ex- planation was made that he could not serve for cause, his resignation was ac- | cepted, and the name of Frank H. Babb | of this city substituted. Asamended the section was adopted. | Later in the day, however, Dr. Ellis | stated that the cause which prevented Mr. | Foster irom serving as a director had been | removed, and he iavored rescinding the | action of the synod electing Frank Babb. | After this Mr. Babb promptly handed in his resignation as a director, which was .| accepted, and the board of directors em- | Sowerefl to elect his successor,who was un- erstood to be Mr. Foster. A motion was { made that the report as amended be | adopted. | The point of order was raised that after 1aaugting the report seriatim adoption as | a whole was not necessary, and tt | tion or rejection would not be eff: The moderator sustained this view, but Dr. Breck appealed from the decision of the mcaerator, and his avpeal was sus- tained. A vote on the report asa whole was then taken and the synod retused to adopt it by a vote of 47 to 35. The death of Captain George J. Ains- i worth of Oakland in Portland, Or., on Sunday morning, was announced to the synod. Captain_ Ainsworth was a ruling elder of the Presbyterian church. He was | a millionaire and had gone to Portland to settle his father’s estate when he was taken | sick and died. _ | The special committee on plans for the next meeting of the synod, through Dr. Ellis, made its revort, showing that the { churches of 8an Francisco were willing to contribute $1 a day for each member toward their entertainment. Drs. Dinsmore and Rice wanted to know upon whose authority Dr. Ellis made this offer. Dr. Ellis resented the insinuation that he was acting without authority and | remarked : “The two men who have just preceded me have said things unworthy o gentle- men, much less Christian ministers.” Dr, Dinsmore stated that he was willing to accept the report if it had the backing of the San Francisco Presbytery or any other substantial support, but he did not wish to force himself upon the hospitality of any people. It was explained that while the presby- tery of San Francisco as a boay had not extended the invitation the majority of the churches within its jurisdiction had. The report was adopted. NEED TO BE DREDGED, STATESMEN TAKE A TRIP DOWN THE STOCKTON WATERWAYS, MAJOR HUER'S OPINION. HE FAVORS A DEEPENING AND WIDENING OF THE SAN JOAQUIN, ALL OF THE PARTY CONCUR. THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION WiLL Work ror THE NECEs- SARY APPROPRIATION. STOCKTON, Car., Oct. 21.—Senator Perkins, Congressman Jackson and Major Huer, with President Buell of the Com- mercial Association and other prominent citizens, left McLeod’s Lake at an early hour this morning for an inspection of Stockton Channel and the mouth of the San Joaquir River. Governor Budd had the low land to the coal mines, will be over high rolling ground, which will require merely leveling. be bridge across .\Formon Channel on Hunter street is now being completed, and in a few days it will be ready for the rails. As soon as they are laid the railsnow piled up on the north side of the channel can be taken across that stream, and track- laying will begin on Hunter street. The work will be pushed to the San Joaquin River as fast as possible. A piledriver is now on the way from San Francisco to drive piles for the coal road’s bridge across the San Joaquin River. - NEWVILLE'S TRAGEDY. J. C. Grunby Quarreled With His Father-in- Law Over the Possession of a Child and Was Killed. CHIOO, CarL., Oct. 22.—A dispatch from Newville, Glenn County, reports that a shooting affair occurred there last night, resulting in the killing of J. C. Grunby by his father-in-law, M. D. Biswell. For some time trouble has been brewing over the custody of Biswell’s grandchild, which he has reared from infancy. Grunby has for some time tried to secure control of the child, and yesterday he went to his father-in-law's house and demanded pos- session of the infant. Biswell refused, and |ordered Grunby from the premises. Grunby, it is alleged, then drew a knife and started for Biswell, who seized a Win- chester rifle and shot him, the ball passing | through his body and killing him in- | stantly. Biswell was immediately ar- | rested and placed in jail. e | COMPANY ¥ AT SANTA CRUZ. Presido Artillerists Go Into Camp at Garfield Park. SANTA CRUZ, Cai., Oct. 22.—Company F, Light Battery of the Fiith Artillery, 7 CONGRESSMAN GROVE L. JOHNSON, SENATOR PERKINS, P, A, BUELL AND ENGINEER HUER WAITING FOR THE HAZEL'S ENGINEER TO GET UP STEAM. (Sketched for “The Call.”] his launch in waiting, and while he was unable to make the trip himself, he ex- tended the visitors all the assistance pos- sible in vreparing for the voyage. By 9:30 o’clock the party was well down the chan- nel, taking mental notes of what they saw. Major Huer did not express any ap- proval of the idea of Manager Corcoran of the Navigation Company of making nu- merous cut-offs in the bends of the stream for the purpose of shortening the distance | between here and San Francisco. The Major is a believer in dredging, and said the river and channei needed that kind of improvement more than anything else. According to his idea this was the proper method of saving time for steamers, as with a clear channel, deepened and broad- ened, they would be enabled to make al- most any time desired. That idea would prove less expensive than the other. It would receive more support among en- gineers now than it would two years ago, when it was considered that Mormon Chan- nel and the upper waters of several San Joaquin streams had and were then re- ceiving long-needed improvement of a nature that would prevent a lot of the dumpage into the lower river in the future. Senator Perkins, with his usual commer- cial instinct, wus surprised at the wonder- tul possibilities for commerce offered by the river, and if surmises are not entirely wrong the California delegation will, by the influence of Major Huer, have the sup- port of the War Department in the effort to be made for an adequate appropriation for the improvement of the rivers. The party returned to the city shortly after noon, having made about thirty miles on the trin. While their craft followed about the same course as that traversed by Senator White and party the presence of an able engineer in the person of Major Huer gave their investigations more of a business air. Senator Perkins and Major Huer returned to Oakland on the after- noon train and Mr. Johnson went to Sac- ramento in the evening. A local paper in commenting on the visit of the party says: “Behind this sudden awakening of in- terest in Stockton and her affairs there is evidently some powerful influence that could'not be exerted from local sources. It recalls to mind remarks made at the in- ception of the raiiway enterprises, that with new railroadas would surely come im- proved waterways. Stockton has friends in San Francisco now whose interests lie in this direction, and being, as they natur- ally are, in close commercial and political relations$ with public men, 1t is not hard to enlist the support of the latter in a proposition involving so much evident call as the improvement of these waterways. It is pretty safe to say that the appropria- tion bill will not only pass both houses of the next Congress. but it will come out with remarkably few red lines.” THEIR DIFFERENCES SETTLED. Southern Pacific and Corral Hollow Come to an Agreement. STOCKTON, CAL., Oct. 22.—While it has not been stated authoratively that such is afact, there are zood reasons for believing that the Corral Hollow Company has come to an understanding with the Southern Pacific, and that the latter will retire grace- fully from the field when the hearing of the injunction suit comes ap to-morrow in the SBuperior Court. No one here expects to see the Southern Pacific’s application for an injunction made permanent, as its attorneys will haraly press the point. An amicable agreement in regard to crossings will prob- ably be arrived at during the week. By November 1, the grade of the Alameda and San Joaquin road will have been com- pleted to the San Joaquin River. Beyond the river there is a stretch of very low land which extends for several miles. Three parties of gradersare now at work on this stretch, and it will be completed within a month or six weeks. The rest of the grade for the railroad, extending from S. A., arrived at Santa_Cruz at 3 o’clock this afternoon from Waddells Creek, twenty miles up the coast. The company consisted of sixty-five men and has four guns, four caissons and_three wagons. It is on'its way from the Presidio to Monte- rey. The company has been on the road two weeks, and will remain in camp at Garfield Park, near this city, for three | days. One of the horses died on the road. The officers in command are Captain Mor- ris_and Lieutenants Ellis, Haan, Burgess | and Gatley. WHELAN'S CLAIMS PASSED BUT THE EXAMINERS MADE TRE- MENDOUS CUTS IN THE FIGURES. | A DiscoverRY THAT MANY REFORM ScHooL INMATES ARE ILLE- GALLY DETAINED. SACRAMENTO, Car., Oct. 22.—Sheriff Whelan’s long-deferred claims have at last been approved by the State Board of Examiners, which held an impromptu ses- sion this afternoon for that especial pur- vose. The claims bave suffered a mate- rial cut, and the San Francisco Sheriff will be several hundred dollars out of pocket when the warrants are signed by the State Controller. It is claimed also that he has quite an amount to liquidate for interest on the large sums of money he has been obliged to boirow for the purpose of conducting theaffairs of his office while prosecuting his war with the State Board of Examiners, and ithasbeen inferred thatif it had not been for the continual drain of this same interest, Sheriff Whelan would have positively refused to accept any reduction in the amount of his presented bills, which have been formulated on the same basis as those of his predecessors in office. The largest cut made was on the claims for transporting insane patients to Napa during the past year. In these alone there was a deduction of $112; in the claims of same nature to Stockton, there was a cut of $49 26; in sundry other claims there was a reduction of $181. Most of these (lz)\xltls were items for hack hire and hotel ills. Considerable dissatisfaction has always | been_expressed by the members of the board over the fact that under the existing | regulations in San Francisco it takes two | days to transport a patient to Napa, when | they claim that it could easily be accom- plished in a day. Sheriff Whelan has made a statement to the effect that there wasno accommoda- tions in his jail for the detention of insane Piisoners, and the secretary of the oard was directed to communicate with the San Francisco Board of Health requesting 1t to consult with the City Hall Commissioners and if possible arrange for the padding of a number of cells in whicn the Insane can be retained over night, and thus obviate the necessity of consuming two days in their transportation. If this can be effected it will mean a monthly say- ing to the State of from $250 to $300. When the Whittier and Preston reform school bills came under consideration Governor Budd, 1n looking through them, discovered that in many cases children had been committed to_these institutions from Justices’ courts for terms ranging from two to ten years on charges of mis- demeanor, vagrancy and malicious mis- chief. In turning to the Penal Code it was found that the law provided that the utmost sentence which could be imposed for a misdemeanor was six months’ imprison- ment and a fine of $500, unless there was some special legisiation of which he was not informed. Thus half of the youths in the reform schools are illegally detained and ‘can be released on a writ of habeas corpus. The matter will be referred to the Attorney-General for an opinion. Sty e Tkiah Wool Sale. UKIAH, Car, Oct. 22.—The wool sale opened to-day. Sales were light, there being but four buyers present. A few sales were made at 7 and 8 cents a pound. WORK IN THE SLUMS. MRs. BooTH TELLS OF THE SALVATION ARMY'S - AIMS, ADDRESS AT STANFORD. STUDENTS ENLIGHTENED AS TO THE MISSION AND SCOPE OF HER FOLLOWERS. NO NEED OF MORE CHURCHES, A SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE NECESSARY FOR THE UPLIFTING OF HuMaNITY. ¢ STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., Oct. 22. — Stanford students were this after- noon addressed by Mrs. Ballington Booth. The chapel was crowded to its fullest capacity and scores of students were turned away. After a compliment paid to her student audience and a com- ment on the cordial receptions extended to her in California, Mrs. Booth in substance said: “The Salvation Army means a great deal to me. It came into my life when I had no special desire for the future. It brought to me not a mere faith or creed or notion, but a real, personal SBavior. “As I have traveled from country to country and have gone down among all those in direst need, I have feit that there was no movement so real as the Salvation Army. There is no movement to-day that has gone through more misunderstanding than has the Salvation Army. It isim possible for me to explain the many things that make this movement unique. I can- not stand here and fight the apparently peculiar things, but I can say this, that there is nothing in the Salvation Army which I would wish changed. “The spirit of the Salvation’ Army is such as will do more good than all the movements toward lifting up the people and bringing them nearer to God. Iam aware of the criticisms ting, but a good answer can be made to everything that the Salvation Army does. A broad-minded view must be taken of the army’sacts. It saw the need of a people who would be willing to go out and do anything and suffer anything for the Master's sake, he who has taken us with all our sins and has filled our hearts and our lives with peace. “I often feel when talking to a fashiona- ble audience, disinterested in helpmng the world, that Ishould like to take itand plant it down in a red-hot Salvation Army meeting in the slums. We take our work wherever itis needed. Our church and our work is to go to the black sheep; our church is the church of the black sheep; for under the black wool is ever found a good warm heart. “We have different phases of work. First, there is our corps work. which you would call mission work. Our officers go into a city or town and there open up a hall and begin work, One thing for which we are thankful is that we speak to crowds. We go out into the streets to get an audience, and we nearly always get just the audience we want. We often get in men who are drunk, but we do not mind that. They may disturb us, but we can manage them, and they often go away sober. N “Qur second field is relief work. With God’s help we succeed in_ this also. Unless the spirit of God is in the work the internal man is not touched. “The third and perhaps the most im- ortant field is that known as slum work. Young girls leave their homes and go down in the slums to toil for the good of humanity. It is nota temporary service. for they give their whole lives to this work. e are often asked why we send voung girls into saloons. It is because they reach a class that could never be in- duced to buy our papersin any other way. “In the Salvation Army itis not talent that counts; but we say to those who offer themselves: ‘If you are sincere, and if your heart belongs to God, we will give you a chance.” Iknow of a young woman who had no education at all, who came to us & voor, ignorant girl. To-day sheis not only gifted, but can secure largerauaiences than many of the brightest church digni- taries. “Looking out upon the world it does not seem to us that more churches are needed, but rather that spirit of real sacrifice which makes people rise up and overcome self.” In conclusion Mrs. Booth explained the work of the Auxiliary League, and invited those who felt inclined to join at the ter- mination of the meeting. Dr. Jordan and Professor Mary Robert gSmith as well as a large number of students and other mem- bers of the faculty joined the league. The rules of the league are: Hrst—Spenkn%ood word for the army ana fight the battles for them.. Second—Pray for the Salvation Army. Third—Become annual subscribers by paying $5 a year. PORTLAND'S ANGRY BELLE MISS STRAHAN DENIES THAT SHE IS TO MARRY THE REV. EDWARD DAVIS. THE VERSATILE PASTOR OF OAK- LAND Nc¢ MORE THAN A Pass- ING ACQUAINTANCE. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 22.—The reporied engagement of Miss Fayne Strahan, the Oregon belle and a daughter of the late ex- Chief Justice Strahan of this city, to Rev. Edward Davis, the poet-parsor of Oakland, Cal., and the “man of versat; as he is styled, is expressly denied by the family of Miss Strahan. The young lady is now staying here with {friends, preparatory to leaving for her old home in Atlanta, Ga. Miss Strahan was considerably shocked and somewhat indignant at the announce- ment made by Oakland and San Francisco papers that she and the Rev. Mr. Davis would wed next spring. Miss Strahan says the reported engagement is false, Shemet Rev. Mr. Davis at Albany, and he called at her house a few times—that was all, Miss Strahan, who isa well-known beauty, to-day authorized her brother, Claude, to make an emphatic denial of the story of :ll_le_ proposed match with the Oakland ivine. SHOT A MIDNIGHT PROWLER. The Victim of a Petaluma Man’s Bullet Pioves to Be a Relative of the Shooter. PETALUMA, CAr, Oct. 22.—0. Elmore, who lives a mile and a half from Peta- luma, saw a man prowling around his premises late last night.
