ATIN-CAN WAR ON HAND. A CHICAGC COMPANY WITH MIL- LIONS IS READY TO FIGHT. NEW RIVAL IN THE FIELD.| A SaN FRANCISCO CONCERN, SUS- | i TAINED BY AMPLE CAPITAL, ResponDs. A battle royal is now on between a Chicago firm backed by $5,000,000 and a San Francisco institution with equal re- sources in cash. The objective point of the | contest is control of the tin-can industry of | | the Pacific Coast in general and the Cali- | fornia market in particular. This State uses annually in the fruit and vegetable packing industry about 42,000,000 tin cans. For many years Norton Bros. of Chicago through the Pacific Can Company, en- joved a monopoly of this lucrative branch | of manufacturing. The first concern to en- | ter the field as a competitor was the Eagle | Automatic Company of California. Liti- gation begun by the Chicago parties imme- diately followed the invasion, butaftera prolonged contest in the court the rival interests coatesced and formed a combina ved in THE CaLy of | The consolidatea institution | - millions of money, and will | vy against all comers to | the trade. is sustained nopo. Facts are now coming to light which ex- plzain the consoli A mnew and for- | midable rival has appeared on the scene which expects to be able to supply the ! | California trade with 12,000,000 cans during | | the next packing season. The contest has progressed beyond the limits of early com- | i d the natural result must be a tion in the price of cans, and a | al benefit to fruit growers and canners througbout the Pacific Coast. Some time azo a remarkable mechanical | invention was perfected in San Francisco, actically testea and so satisfactory was the result of experiments that Charle: J .

In the commercial world rivalry for business is intense and alert agents keep their principals posted concerning new de- velopnents and new discoveries. It was not tong before the Chicago corporation was nformed that a powerful rival was leading atiorne; to San Francisco, and all the information possible was gleaned regarding the merits roducticn under the new process. Meanwhile E. F. Preston, the attorney | of the Great Western Company, secured | patents and called in other leading law- yers to examine the question of infringe- ment.

The litigation will take placé in the United States Circuit Court, Judge Me- Kenna, and promises to become one of the keenest controversies of the year. The Great Western Can Companv has just ordered from London $100,000 worth of tin plate, and asserts that it will be able to place on the market for the coming | n’s business at least 12,000,000 cans. nder the competition prices are sure to | come down and thefruit-growers will be the gainers. THEIR POWER ~ DEFINED, MONTGOMERY EXECUTORS CANNOT SELL THE REAL PROPERTY OF THE ESTATE. AN ORDER OF THE COURT REQUIRED ACCORDING TO A DEcCISION BY JUDGE SANDERSON. Judge Sanderson handed opinion yesterdzy in the suit of Trustecs W.F. Goad and A. W. Foster against | Annie A. and Hazel G. Montgomery and | Mrs. Elizabeth Rodgers relative to the night of the trustees to sell or otherwise dispose of real property belonging to the | Alexander Montgomery $1.000,000 estate. The trustees claimed the right to sell, They were represented by Rodgers and Paterson and Platt & Bayne, and for the | beneticiaries the claim was opposed by Attorney Franklin K. Lane. Judge Sanderson declares that the trus- tees have not the power that was formally claimed by them in the suit. He says: The powers of these trusiees as to such sales must, without doubt, be found either in the will (which I think is paramount) or the de- cree of distribution, or the equity decree, and in neither of these instruments are Ssuch }mwcrs conferred on them, and if it cannot be ound there then it does not exist at all. The will left, and intended to leave, a legacy of $1,000,000 in money to the trustees of the minors, who were thereby empowered to “manage” such legacy for the minors till they reached their majority, and then “pay same to them. By no process of strained con- struction can the word “manage” be held to mean “‘a power to sell.’”” The use of the word “manage” in the will is clear enough. Itgives the trustees the same powers that all frustees in such cases possess, and none other. That is to suz, the right and Fmr(-r to control and handie the fund and to oan it out at interest on approved securities, down his ing to invade the field in California, | hicago company at once dispatched | and mechanical experts | | Order such as bonds, mortgages and the like, and yrobably to purchase secure interest-bearing bonds, tor instance, therewith; and undoubt- edly the testator had in mind that the trustees e inhand e cash fund to *‘pay over” to the children at majority. But that expression in the will is of litile moment here. The suit in equity was not brought for the purpose of permitting the trustees to make an “invesiment” of the minors’ $1,000,000 leg- v, but solely for the purpose of enabling the trudtecs to take certain real and personal prop- erty ““in lieu and full satisfaction of snis leg- a Had the trustees, in tact, received this £1,000,000 legacy in cash they would have had no power, I apprehend, except at their own peril, to “invest” it in “‘real property’’ by buying the sume without an order of court to that effect. * * * Indeed, it would seem as matter of safety for themselves that the trustees would naturally end gladly turn to a court for support and pro- tection, when in their judgment sales or ex- char o ng to their wards should be made, rather than risk the criticism that 100 often falls upon trustees who strive intelligently and faithiully tocarry out the trust they have assumed. There is risk enough of this character attend- ing such trustees who act within their obvious powers, to say nothing of attempting to exer- cise those which are, at least, dubious. VETERAS. THE ACTION OPPOSED TO THE PRACTICE OF THROWING FRUIT REFUSE ON THE SIDEWALKS. PETITION FOR RELIEF FROM AN EvIL WHIcH CAUSED AN OLD SoL- DIER TO BREAK His LEG. The following letter, relating to the practice of throwing refuse fruit matter on the sidewalks, has been addressed to Mayor Sutro by a committee of George H. Thomas Post of the Grand Army: HALL OF GEORGE H. THOMAS PosT No. 3,) R., Saturday, Oct. 19, 1895. able ' Adolph .

A Searles, & member of George H. Thomas Post, had recently stepped and slipped on some ape skins which had been thrown on the idewalk on Grant avenue, causing the break- ing of one of his legs. Subsequently it a peared, in remarks to the post, and in conver- sations among comrades, that many other members of the post had of late suifered from falls and sprains attributable to a similar cause Therefore, while not professing to be a “good government” organization in any special local senst nd certainly in no partisan menner or degree—it seemed right and expedient that a committee be named and deputized to invoke the notice of the proper authorities to the com- mon and pernicious habit of throwing the lings and skins and cores and seeds stones of fruit upon the sidewalks of th | and to ask that the habit be chec v done away witly, by 1 se of the arresting power of the e Department. les appointed by George H.

The directors of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association of California met Monday evening in the Mills building. A communication was received from E. M. Wilson, secretary of the Nationa) Asso- ciation of Manufacturers of the United States, announcing that the California As- sociation was entitled to representation in the convention to be held next November. A delegate will be appointed in the near future. A letter wasreceived from the Shipowners’ Association requesting the association to appoint a committee to meet with a like committee from other commercial or- ganizations to devise ways and means for a campaign to remove port charges. The following were named as the com- mittee: G. W. Dickey, R. S. Moore, J. N. Knowles, C. E. Worden, Julian Sonntag, Ibert E. Castle, Joseph Spears, Fred Tal- bot, E. C. Williams, C. S. Laumeister. A communication was read from the Prison Directors calling attention to' the fact that they purchase California goods whenever they can do so, and that they only use convicts in the manufacture of jute goods. The communication called at- tention to the great amount of goods man- ufactured in Eastern prisons, and asking the convention to investigate, and ifit found that prison-made goods should be used here such goods should be of home manufacture. The communication was referred to the committee on legislation, C. F. Smurr, in a letter, disclaimed for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company the publication in the Sacramento Recurd’- Union of articles attacking the Manufac- turers’ Association. The Union for Practical Progress, by let- ter, asked the indorsement of a plan to have the City own itsown water and light. The secretary was instracted to notify the writer that this was a matter beyond the association’s province. A committee of three from the associa- tion will be appointed to attend the meet- ¢ of the Supervisors when the matter of Sutro’s boiler is discussed. The chairman announced the following names of chairmen of commitrees: Ti- n P. Currier; transportation, water and light, M. J. Keller; promoticn, W. F.

NO DECISION YET REACHED. MaYor SUTRO CONSIDERS THE TRIAL A FAILURE—HIs ViEws oN FENDERs. Another test of streetcar fenders was made yesterday forenoon on west Mission street. Three fenders, the Baltimore, the Markley and the Colman-Gauder were tried, but without results entirely satisfac- tory to the Supervisors present. Mayor Sutro attended with the Super- visors. The streetcar company was rep- resented by Manager Vining and ex-Man- ager Stein of the Market-street system. The Baltimore fender was attached to an electriccar and a dummy placed standing on the track. The car was runat a speed of ten miles an hour, and the dummy was e raised to $92 an inmate, in order to enable the management to introduce needed re- forms and to sccommodate the number that will be sure to apply for care during the winter months. That number he be- lieved will reach at least 400. At times it amounted to 475. At this estimate the appropriation, which is now $80,000 per annum, would have to be increased to $128,000. THE DEMON JEALOUSY. John Rush and His Wife After Twenty- Four Years of Married Life Get Into Trouble. John Rush,a carpenter living al 120 Tenth street, appeared in Judge Low’s court yesterday to answer the charge of as- sault with a deadly weapon upon Charles Spofford, a gripman. Rush and his wife have been married twenty-four years, but about a year ago they agreed to a separation, as they could not live happily together. They continued to livein the same house but occupied | separate apartments. Recently Mrs. Rush | commenced proceedings for divorce. Spofford is a friend of Mrs. Rush and used to visit her frequently, which roused the demon of jealousy in Rush’s heart. | He used to shadow them and see them kiss | each other good-by. Last Sunday night | Spofford and Mrs. Rush went to church, | and after their return were sitting in Mrs. Rush’s apartments, when Rush opened the door and in forcible language ordered | Spofford to leave the house.

The test was then made with the dummy laid across the rails, with | the result that somectimes it would be | picked up and carried until the car stopped | and sometimes the dummy would be | rolled underneath the fender, { The Marklev fender broke down when tried, and could not be given a fair test and nilar results to those of the trial of the altimore. After giving the fenders a thorough trial the Supervisors proceeded to Thirtieth | and Guerrero streets to observe the work- | ing of the fender used by the San Mateo ine. The dimmies were employed with re- | sults not materially different from those obtained in the cases of the other fenders. Sometimes the imitation body would be thrown from the rails or picked up, and at others it would be mangled by being run | under. None of the fenders gave sufficient | satisfaction to warrant the Supervisors | ;»rcsent making a recommendation in | favor of any particular one, and it was for | that reason decided to have another test | before making a decision. From the trial | ziven the Markley fender it seemed to be | the opinion that had it been built more substantially it would have given the best results of any that had been tried. Yesterday’'s was the first test Mayor Sutro has attended. trial a failure and said he would oppose the adoption of any of the fenders. According to E. P. Vining, general man- ager of the Market-street Railway Com- pany, the Baltimore fender proved the most satisfactory. “Iam of the opinion, and have been for |{ some time past, that the Baltimore fender iis the best by far that has been tested here, and also the bést in the East,” he | aid. The Supervisors, however, have | the selection, and whichever they decide j upon we must put on all our cars within thirty days after they officially announce their choice.” DECENTGARB FOR BURIAL, IMPROVEMENTS INTRODUCED AT THE CITY AND COUNTY HOSPITAL. Dgr. F. H. STAHLE HAs ALREADY SHOWN ABILITY IN His New RoOLE. Dr. F. H. Stahle, the new superintend- ent of the City and County Hospital, has already made some alterations in the in- stitution. The big tanks that lay underneath the building unused for many years until they were forgotten by the hospital attaches have been utilized for garbage, which was formerly dumped at the rear of the build- ing and was a constant menace to the health of ali within its walls. These tanks were discovered by the doctor. He will add one or more to the number, thus in- suring that refuse shall no longer be per- mitted to exist as a hotbed of disease. The doctor will recommend that the Board of Health add five nurses to the corps now engaged at the hospital. The need of this measure will be seen from the fact that while the nurses at the City and County Hospital have an average of fif- teen patients under their charge, those en- gaged in many similar institutions in this City and elsewhere are intrusted with two to three. Thus far there has been no de- crease nor addition in the force employed at the hospital, but there has been some shifting of workers for the improvement of the various departments. While a CALL reporter was awaiting an audience with Dr. Stahle in: the Superin- tendent’s office a representative of one of the undertaker’s firms that holds a con- tract with the City presented himself. “Tell your employer,” said the Superin- tendent, *‘that no body shall be removed until it is covered. I have been informed that there has been no such rule in the ast. I may have been misinformed, but want it understood that such a rule is 1 force from this moment. The bodies must be decently wrapped before being re- moved.”" “There are but two hospitals in the United States whose expenses are less than this institution’s,” said Dr. Stahle. “They are the City Hospital at St. Louis, where the vearly ‘expense is $65 for each inmate, and that of New Orleans, which is ron at an expense of §60.” Dr. Stahle said the figure should be the Colman-Gauder invention gave | He pronounced the | | Rush struck Spofford over the head with | his cane. The boarders in the house inter- | fered and stopped further trouble. Rush | was arrested, and Spofford had his wound | dressed at the Receiving Hospital. Several witnesses gave Rush a bad repu- tation for not keeping the peace toward his wife, and the Judge decided to hold him to answer before the Superior Courtin $500 bonds. “Now,” said_Attorney Bull, who ap- | peared as special prosecutor, I want to announce to the defendant in open court | that he must keep away from 120 and 122 | Tenth street pending the divorce proceed- ings.” | “He will do nothing of the kind,” re- torted Attorney Nagle, who defended Rush. ““Well, then,” said the Judge, “I will hold him in $5000 bonds, as in his present state of mind he mignt kill somebody.” Later, on the promise of Attorney Nagle that he would see that his client kept {away from Mrs. Rusli, the Judge reserved his decision till to-day. ANOTHER SUNSET FLYER. | The Trip to New Orleans to Be Made In | Seventy-Eight Hours. In the train service department of the Southern Pacific Company active prepara- tions are now being made for the inaugu- tion of the Sunset limited trains which are to be put on on the 1st of the month. They will make the run between this City and New Orleans in seventy-eight hours. The trains will run twice a week, proba- bly until the end of March, 1896, and pos- sibly a once a week service wili be con- tinued Jater. Thbe first train will leave San Francisco Saturday, November 2, and on each Saturday and Tuesday during the pe- riod mentioned, and the first train will leave New Orleans Thursday, October 31, and subsequently on each Thursday and Monday. These trains will consist of a composite smoking and baggage car, with barber shop and bathroom; compartment ladies’ parlor car: double drawing-room sleeping cars and dining car, with servicea la carte. A lady’s maid will accompany each train for the accommodation of passengers, more particularly for those traveling with- out escort. Owing to the derailment caused by the washing of sand upon the Southern Pacific Railroad track by the rain of Sunday the westbound train, due here at 10:45 A, . yesterday, was eight and a half hours late in arriving in this City. The acciaent oc- curred a little south of Bakerstield about 9 o’clock Sunday night, and though no seri- ous damage was done to engines or cars, it required considerable hard work on the part of the wrecking train to clear the track. The eastbound overland on this route was also delayed by the accident. Next Sunday will see the last excursion train for the season to Monterey on the Coast division, and also the last to Santa Cruz on the narrow-gauge. DISTRICT NURSES' BENEFIT. “Jack and His Fay’” at the California To-Morrow Evening. To-morrow evening and on Saturday afternoon benefit performances of “Jack and his Fay” will be given at the Califor- nia Theater to assist in raising funds to carry on the work of the free district nurses of the International Nurses’ Asso- ciation. The music of the piece is catchy and the cast will be strong, over 200 chiidren as- sisting in the performance, the main parts of which will be taken by adults. The special object is to provide funds where- ith to house some special cases needing closer attention and that no other charity in town covers. A large number of prominent people of this City have expressed themselves in sympathy with the work of the association and the advance sale of seats has assured a big house. ——————— MR. AIKEN RECALLED. The Supervising Architect of the Tre: ury Department Departs. As a result of the recent unpleasantness between Supervising Architect Aiken of the Trnsur{; Department and Collector of the Port Wise the former has been re- called to Washington, where it is expected he will pe di:cislined for discourtesy to the Collector and neglect to obey the or- ders of the Secretary. The telegramn re- calling him came_several days ago, but he was then in the Yosemite Valley and did not know of the matter until the message was handed him at Sacramento by Mr. ‘Wise, when he at once boarded an east- bound train. No charges have been filed against him, but it is said that his conduct has been generally unsatisfactory to the department. | | | DOCKERY'S MILK CRUSADE OVER FORTY ARRESTS MADE IN CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN THIRTY DAYS. THE INSPECTOR A DEFENDANT. A RESTAURANT-KEEPER CHARGES HiM WitH DuMPING PURE Mik. Milk Inspector Dockery has been in office considerably less than thirty days, yet he has brought about such a revolution in the milk business of San Francisco as was hardly dreamed of. What is betterstill it gives every promise of being lasting in its effects. During the twenty-three days of Mr. Dockery’s reign he has made 114 inspec- tions, resulting in over forty arrests. In addition to this Bacteriologist Spencer has some ten or twelve samples yet to analyze which it is thought probable will -result in several more arrests. This is certainly a magnificent showing and Mr. Dockery not only has cause for self-congratulation but is deserving the thanks of every believerin | pure food in San Francisco. As the result of Mr. Dockery’s Tuesday morning raid warrants were yesterday is- sued for the arrest of the following: P. Pallasson, F. Mozzetti, James Kenny, A. de Sante, Carl Savanello, Antone Simon, Fred Simon, Kussis & Regli, Fred Bau- man, John Bauman, Jacob Heim, Alex Simon, F. Gioldi, J. Christain. Justice Kerrigan’s courtroom was crowded yesterday morning with milkmen, who bad come up from San Mateo County to testify in the suit instituted by C. G. Lar- sen of 33 Eddy street against In- spector Dockery. The Milbrae dairy is interested in_the suit, because it supplied the milk to Larsen. Early in the cam- paign for pure milk, vockery visited Lar- sen's place, and after testing the milk on hand, decided that it was not up to stand- ard. There were thirty-six gallons of the milk, valued at $6, and " in spite of the pro- test of Mr. Larsen the entire lot was dumped into the street. Larsen then filed suit for the value of the milk, with damages and costs added. Larsen’s attorney stated that he was prepared to show that the milk was pure, and asked that the cause be heard at once. Docgery looked around him and saw some forty milkmen present as witnesses. Then it was that he zave evidence of being some- what of a diplomat. He demanded a jury trial, and so the case was set down for No- vember 5. Dennis Spencer will represent J. Newmeyer. Adolph Manthe and George Schumph, three milk-dealers who | Mr. Dockery. pleaded not guilty in Judge Conlan’s court on Saturday to the charge of selling adul- terated miik, changed their plea when the cases were called yesterday, and the Judge fined them §$10 each. L. J. Ewell’s case vill be tried before a jury on Tuesda. November 5, and the case of E. F. Grab: who wanted a jury, was continued till after Ewell’s case is disposed of. The inspector says that in all cases he will in future ask the Judges to impose the fullest penalty, as there is now no excuse for the dealers of a first offense, that period having passed. John Tscheinen of the Swiss dairy, San Bruno road, states that hig milk was found up to the standard by Inspector Dockery, and that it was not dumped as stated. That, he says, was the fate of the com- modity sold by a concern of almost identi- cal name, MIDWEEK THEATER OTES THE VARIETIES IN “THE PASSING SHOW ” ENTERTAIN. AT THE BALDWIN, \ A Goop PERFORMANCE OF *‘ CAVAL- LERIA RUSTICANA” AT THE TIVoLL “The Passing Show” is the sort of per- formance that a seasoned theater-goer would be likely to see if he partook of plum pudding and Welsh rarebit for supper and retired to rest to let them fight it out. In that sleep dreams would come and a phantasmagoria like “The Passing Show'’ would be a very appropriate sort of a vision under the circumstances. This performance which is entertaining Baldwin audiences is a sort of continuous burlesque on most of the recent perform- ances, “The Amazons,” “Sowing the Wind,” etc., etc. When one has seen the play that is being produced, it is easy to admire the caricatures. When one has not seen the original, one has to subsist, dramatically speaking, upon the dancing, the costumes and sometimes the singing. “The Passing Show'’ is really a superior sort _of ariet{ entertainment, where the specialties follow thick and fast on one another ana keep the audience on the quivive to know what unexpected turn will come next. Offenbach’s ‘‘Marriage by Lantern” is used to fill up the bill, but the real attrac- tion at the Tivoli this week is the ‘‘Caval- leria Rusticana,” in which Ida Valerga and Martin Pache carry off all the honors. Valerga is histrionically and vocally a good Santuzza. Sheacts and sings with passion and intensity, and Pache’s declamatory methods make him especially suited to in- terpreting the passionate, brutal role of " Tarridu. These twoe artists carry all before them with a dramatic intensity that exactli; fits_in with the fierce Sicilian storv. Poor Raffael is left behind in the race. Alfio is always a thankless part, but Raffael sings his postillion's songz in a way that is pos- itively tame. When his jealousy is aroused he grows a little more intense, but not enough so. The Tivoli chorus is rather hampered by Mascagni’s music, but *Let us sing” is well given. Taken altogether, “Cavalleria Rusticana” 1s well worth seeing. ' is drawing as it de- serves to do at the Columbia Theater. The bright, pretty music is well sung, and Barnabee's jokes prove hugely entertain- ing. The Bostonians’ new work, “A War- time Wedding,” is said to be a_ serious opera. If successful it will take its place in their repertoire. “Prince Ananias! “Pink Dominoes” is doing good business at Grover's Alcazar. It is a capital farce- comedy, and is well played; in fact, the vlay is a case of the survival of the fitcest. It describes adventures at Cremorne. a lace of entertainment in London that has Emg become a thing of the past, while “Pink Dominoes’” s still flourishing. Gracie Plaisted’s part suits her espec\alf well, and Miss Kennark plays the confic{ ing, deceived and forgiving wife naturally and well. In “A Dark Secret” at Morosco's, the plot works naturally and easily up to the climax, and the parts are well sustained. Henley Regatta is most realistically pre- sented. nothing being forgotten, even to Punch and Judy and the nigger minstrels, Miss Thrupp's songs and dances are splendid, and Robert McArthur rightly receives an ovation. At the Orpheum the new attractions vie with one another in popular favor. Eil Zuila and Luln, the tizht wire performers, are not only very dextrous and da their performance is pretty to look at. Charles W. Knox, the California barytone, has made quite a hit, and the Trilby dances have proved orna- mental as well as effective features of the entertainment. Fialkowski, Kennedy and all the other performers of last week are winning their usual applause. rd is concluding a see- ul week at the Feople’s Thea- Miss Reid, the leading lady, hasa rather weak part. Mrs. Buckley, as Mrs. Carrigan, an old Irish apple-woman, is able 10 do some flective work, though. Little Baby is as cute a little tough boy as was ever seen on the local stage. ter.
