Only tyros and The City and ( boundary line o County may he n F ers near th People ve not strangers in the profession here take any stock in the old County line monuments y see scattered along the southern bor- County. nportant information came out before the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors vesterday when the ques- ion of the C new official map was be- T 1 Mayor Sutro, Chairman Taylor and Supervisor Benjamin asked all sorts of questions to get information on this surprising condition of affairs. The most startling piece of information was that some of the original monuments had been deliberately moved. the Of course s of the “points” could have nly one object in view—to aifect property rights. Only a carefui investigation, of course, will disclose how much of this kind of work has been going on. Surveyor Humphrey, talking for Official Surveyor Tilton, admitted that nobody knew definitely ing about the line “only in spot: there was a line that ran irom an to the bay, but nearly everybody who had matter knew it was not in the according to the or al monuments, Professor Davidson, who had been out for the lost line with all sorts of scientific instruments in order to describe cearately in a history of the peninsula, said he was positive it not where people generally supposed it was, and that he had found nothing in his search “but some monuments very much out of piace.” One of the monuments was moved out of Mrs. Maguire's back yard because it in the way. The gist of the committee’s inquiry was that the line of the City and County on the south was in a very razzle-dazzle condi- tion, and that some very bitter lawsuits might follow straightening it out. The discussion of the new map produced a number of surprises. Mayor Sutro, after arguing for over an hour on the kind of map he thought would be was finally interrupted and told that the con- tract for making the map was already let for $10,000. *What’s that!" he and Supervisor Tay-, lor ejaculated in one breath. They could hardly believe their ears when the contract was read to them. “But J vetoed the order on October 18,” protested the Mayor. “The contract signed by the partles is dated October 8, it seems,” putin Super- visor Taylor, picking up the document. The discovery was what the politicians call a “jolt.” Mayor Sutro clapped on his hat, seized his stick and hurriedly left the room. Later he collected himself, re- turned and tried to get the board to report favorably on his veto, so that the whole business could be knocked out and new specifications framed. The tangle ap- peared so intricate that the committee let the matter go over. Mayor Sutro wanted a big map made, something to show the typography of the County, the sewer system and size of pipes, the water mains and their size, besides grades and all the regular details found on official maps. He urged the commit- tee to order something that would be a pride to the City, even if it cost a little more than $10,000. The specifications as set forth in the con- tract signed October 18 call fora map made as follows: That for and in consideration of $10,000 the party of the second part agrees with the perty of the first part to prepare and make a new and official map of the City and County of San Francisco, showing water front, docks, wharves, with all blocks, squares, reserva- tions, streets, lanes, alleys and places, with their dimensions and width of streets, and to make all necessary surveys to connect the homestead surveys with those of the City proper, ana set all necessary iron and stone monuments to perpetuste the same; to index every resolution opening, closing, narrowing or widening of streets, lanes, alleys, places, blocks, squares or reservations and place such changes on said official map. The said map shall be 10 feet 6 inches by 11 feet 6 inches, of the best linen paper, mounted on cloth, the work executed in the most fin- ished manner, &nd so arranged as to be readily sccessible, the work on the same to be com- menced immediately after signing this agree- ment and completed thereafter as speedily as possible on a scale of 400 feet to 1 inch, and to the satistaction of the Committee on Btreets, etc., of said board. The contract stipulates that $3000 shall be paid when the work is three months under way and the balance ‘“‘when the work is completed.” It was when Surveyor Humphrey began to tell what other little things he would add to the new official map that the truth came out about the line dividing the coun- ties of San Francisco and San Mateo. He said that with the aid of old records and by carefully locating the sites of the lost, strayed and stolen monuments, he would be able to run the line from ocean to bay where it ought to be. “There is not the slightest doubt,” he said, “but that it is very much out of place at present. How far of course I cannot say till after I have definitely established it. T have been collecting data on the voint for some years past that will be of material assistance in the work. I did this because I knew that eventually the line must be run back on the old ines in order to avoid perpetual lawsuits and wrangling.”” Professor Dayidson told about two moy proper, ) cause he wanted | granite monuments that he had finally MARKING MONUMENTS HAVE| located after an arduous seaych. One of | them was two-thirds out of the ground. He was very anxious to find the line, be- it in order to settle several historical lccations. After a hard | lot of work he gave up the job, trusting that the proper officials would take up the matter. Professor Davidson tried to run | his lines on the survey of 1853, He had to | abandon the survey, however, on account | of the lost, strayed and stolen monuments. When the new official map is completed it will definitely settle the County line. How far the uncertainty of this line will affect title to property in that vicinity is | not definitely known. FEach survey, of | course, depends on the starting-point. | If any survey to property was made on the present County line as a base the chances | are that that property is very much | off its official base. Of course there is no knowing how many cases there are of this | kind till the surveys are goneover. If any of the original monuments were used as starting points by property-owners along the line the chances are that their surv are all right; that of course, unless | those monuments been carelessly moved like Mrs. Maguire! have the one in back yard, or moved by design so as to o alter lines being surveyed. Another big change that will be made in | re-establishing the line on its original base is that a good many householders will change their places of voting and amounts of taxes. There is no question | either some San ans are voting in San Mateo County or San Mateo citizens are trying to run municipal government in San Francisco. Taxes are the same way. Taxpayers have one consolation— | they have their receipts. When the official survey is begun the first work will be to run the County line | &1 : | them to put the mate to_death and fasten the and define clearly where San Francisco breaks into San Mateo County. AN OPERA BY CHILORE, " JACK AND HIs FAY” A GRAND SUCCESS AT THE CALIFORNIA | | | THE PERFORMANCE IN AID OF DisTrICT NU > As TION A charming fairy opera was given at the | California Theater last night for the | benefit of the International Association of District Nurses. The performers were, with one or two exceptions, children, and as there were about 200 of them, and their i costumes were all of a gorgeous and daz- | zling description, it follows that “Jack | and His Fay” proved to be an imposing | spectacular pro.

Miss Keser was | an ornament to the cast all through the performance, her voice being powerful and ringing, and her acting sprightly and viva- cious. Miss Ryan also sang in a finished manner, and all the other soloists were good.

JUDICIAL MURDER. Father Lagan So Refers to St. Clair's Execution From the Pulpit. Father Hugh Lagan of San Rafael, who attended Murderer St. Clair on the scaffold at San Quentin on the 18th inst., created a referring to the case from his pulpit last Sunday. He asked the prayers f his congregation for the repose of the rderer’s soul and then said: tion of St. Clair [ may characterize dicial murder, and I believe him to be innocent man ever hanged at San ieve that the crime was fastened upon St. Clair as the result of a conspiracy of race and religious hatred.

St. Clair would certainly have had no objcet in killing the man who was his friend, and fndeed the only friend he had on bosrd. On Thursday I received a letter from Father Hugh Grllagiier of San Jose saying that if Hausen could be induced to tell all he knew he could ciear St. Clair. I went into Hansen’s 11 and begged him to tell the truth and save Clair, Hansen’s only reply was, ‘‘Father, ou don’t want me io tell you lies you had er say no more about it.” That was the v answer I could get from him. St. Clair died protesting his innocence, and 1.do not believe it is possible for a Catholie to receive the last sacrament and go into eternity with perjury on his soul. Certainly this man stood too much in fear of God to do it. I make this statement because I think it is due to this man’s memory. VERMONT'S ‘EXECUTIVE. Governor Woodbury on a Two Weeks’ Pleasure Trip to This City and State. Governor W. A. Woodbury, the recently elected executive of Vermont, is at the Palace. He arrived Thursday night with Colonel H. W. Allen, a wealthy merchant of Burlington and a member of Governor | Woodbury’s personal staff. The Governor will remain about two weeks in the City, as his visit here is one principally of pleasure and to serve as a rest after th gues of his first months of office following upon a hot campaign, It is probable that not all of his time will be spent in San Francisco, as he intends to see more of the State either while making San Francisco his headquarters or upon his return home. ..

The| eighteen brownies, some of them looking almost too small to be human, danced in a | magic circle and brought down the house | by their quaint little antics. There were | two cupids and one brownie especially | who all through the Fluy monopolized a | good deal more of the public attention than their size warranted. | The opening revels were interrupted by heralds announcing the advent of Jack (Miss Grace Keser). Her fairy guards- men were resplendent in erimson, with breastplates consisting of *‘Trilby” hearts. The young lady herself sang a solo very prettily, but refused to retard the action of the play by repeating it. Then came the tragic part, the music grew weird and | ‘Wagnerian, the stage became dark, and Flaga, the demon, attended by Puck, en- tered and terrified the poor fairies nearly out of their wits. ‘The fairy who had confessed her love, in song, for Jack fled and the valor- ous youth himself, or rather her- self, entered and thrusting aside the demons sang the song of the evel\in{;. 1t was a waltz song and was so charminfz_ y and heroically rendered by Jack (Miss Grace Keser) that thenceforth even the most fascinating of the brownies, the one who held the center of the stage, began to realize that his infantesimal nose wasa wee bit out of joint. Miss Keser continued her successes, both vocal and histrionic, in the second act, where she slew a voracious giant and res- cued most of the heroes and heroines of nursery rhyme from durance vile. : She received many flowers, and her im- rovised bit of comedy in heaping her Horal offerings on the figure of the recum- Second District will hold a temperance rally at St. Joseph’s Hall, corner of How- ard and Tenth streets.

THE SysTEM IN VOGUE Samp TO Be ILLEGAL AND TO MAKE FRraup POSSIBLE. Back of the complaint filed in the Supe- rior Court yesterday by H.J. Sieberst, at- torney for Theodore Fox, against Charles H. Fish, T. H. Fish, John W. Twiggs, H. Zadig, Nat T. Messer and the Consolidated California and Virginia Mining Company, lies a tale of shrewd and snccessful manip- ulation, according to the narration of Mr. Sieberst, that is almost unparalleled, even in the remarkable history of mining stock manipulation that at one period gave this City an unenviable fame. The proceedings are brought on behalf of Theodore Fox, a stockholder in the Consolidated California and Virginia Min- ing Company,to haveset aside and declared null and void the election of trustees of that corporation held on October 21 and to have a new election. In an interview relative to the object of having the alleged illegally elected trus- tees ousted and a new board elected At- torney Sieberst related the history, as he viewed it, of the corporation and the pe- culiar manipulation of its stock and prop- erty by John W. Mackay, J. L. Flood and Senator Jones. He claimed that these three men, though owning but a very small fraction of the entire stock of the corporation, were en- abled to elect its trustees through the un- Jawful use of stocks in the custody of brokers; that they thereby obtained con- trol, through these dummy directors, of the mines and other pmpertf' of the cor- poration; that they made milling contracts with the Comstock Mill and Mining Com- pany, owned by themselves, to mill the ores of the Consolidated California and Virginia Mining Company at exorbitant prices to the latter, and at great profit to the milling company; that the larger vor- tion of the actual profits made from the Consolidated California and Virginia Min- ing Company were thus devoted to Mackay, Flood and Jones, and that the real stock- holders of the mining company were thus being continuously and fraudulently de- prived of dividends. : In explanation of how the law was vio- lated, and these results accomplished, he quotéd the following from the Civil Code on corporations: Section 312. At all elections or votes had for any purpose, there must be & majority of the subscribed stock, * * * represented either in person or by proxy in writing. kvery per- son acting therein (in persom or by proxy or representative) must bea * * * bona fide stockholder, having stock in his own name at least ten days prior to the election. He also quoted the following from a tive act of 1880 for the further pro- n of stockholders in mining com- pa and which appears on page 149 of Deering’s Civil Code: Section 2. All stock in each and every min- ing corporation in this State shall stand in the books of said company in all cases in the names of the real owners of such stock or in the name of the trustees of such real owners; but in every case where such stock shall stana in the name ot a trustee the plng for whom he holds such stock in frust shall be designated upon such books and also in the body of the certificate of such gtock. Section 3. It shall not be lawful for any such corporation or the secretary thereof 1o close the books of said corporation more than two days prior to the day of any election. At such eléction the stock of said eorporation shall be voted by the bona fide owners thereof. as shown by the books of said corporation, unless the certificate of stock, duly sworn, be pro- duced at said election, in which case said certi- ficate shall be deemed the highest evidence of ownership and the holder thereof hall be en- titled to vote the same. Commenting on this in its bearing to the proceedings brought yesterday Mr. Sieberst said: The Consolidated California and Virginia Mining Company kept no such books as those referred to and required by the law, and they have no books \\fllich show the facts as to the real owners of the stock voted at elections. In the complaint filed yesterday it is set forth that the election of trustees of the Consolidated California and Virginia Min- ing Company held on the 21st of October was unlawful; that the whole of the capi- tal stock of 216,000 shares has been issued, but does not stand in the books of the com- pany in the names of the real owners of such stock, or in the name of the trustees of such real owners, save about 260 shares, and that the books were closed on the 17th of October, or four days prior to the elec- tion. It is then charged that certain brokers, “falsely representing that they had shares” in the Consolidated California and Virginia Mining Company as trustees, gave Charles H. Fish power of attorney to vote the same at the election held on the 21st of October. The brokers named and the re- NAME.

Van W. 380 C 625 Zadig & Co §1,650| The complaint then charges that no part of the 130,000 shares represented by Charles H. Fish and voted by him at the “pre- tended election” stood on the books of the corporation in the names of the real owners or in the names of the trustees; that the certificates of such stock did not designate the owner of it; that the books f the corporation at the time of the closing thereof did not disclose to the stockholders who were the real owners of the stock at that time or at the time of holding the said ‘‘pretended election”; that the 130,000 shares of stock were voted by Charles H. Fish at theelection on Octo- ber 21 without the authority or knowledge of the real owners; that the said shares represented by Fish were, with the excep- tion of twenty-one shares, standing in the name of the ‘“pretended trustees,” the only votes cast at the said *‘pretended election”; that there was not represented at said meeting and there was not voted at said meeting a majority of the shares of the capital stock by the real owners or by the legal proxies of the real owners. By reason of the above allegations the said election is claimed to be invalid, and sluintifl' prays that & summary hearing e held, that the election be declared void and that a new election be ordered. Attor- ney Sieberst said on the subject: When this suit comes to trial it will show up one of the most iniquitous li!teml ever put into operation to fleece a stockholder. 1t gn been shown by sworn testimony given in other cases and by information that hasotherwise come to my knowledge that neither Mackay, Flood nor Jones own any considerable portion of the stock of the Consolidated California and Virginia Mining Company, yet, through the co-operation of & number of brokers who have the custody of stock for customers, they are enabled, by a violation of the law, to elect their tools as directors, and thus secure con- trol of & properiy in which they have invested at best but a trifling amount. This would be impossible were the brokers not to “stand in’’ on the deal, but they dare not refuse to loan this triumvirate the stock which really belongs to their customers, be- cause if they aid they would soon find a fall- ing off in their business, and their customers on their part are indifferent or else are in debt to the brokers and dare not interpose any ob- jection to their rights being ignored or bariered away. But did all the bona-fide stockholders know the real situation they could and undoubtedly would prevent these unlawful and unjust pro- ceedings. Were each stockholder determined to vote his shares there would be few for the brokers to loan to the manipulators. The re- sult would be that a set of trustees would be elected, who would houestly protect the stock- holders, or the mam%ulalors would have to go into the market and buy enough shares to give them & majority, in 108,001. What this would mean to the bona-fide holder of stock was shown when the contestin tne Ophir Company some years ago was fought. Just before the election the stock was quoted at $20, to which figure it had risen from about #2, and from $2 to $4 a share was paid for the rivilege of being allowed to vote the stock. %he day after the election the stock had dropped back to $2. To get back to Mackay, Flood and Jones. They own the Comstock Mill and Mining Com- pany, and through the dummy trustees they succeed in electing for the Consolidated Cali- fornia and Virginia Mining Company they make contracts for milling the ore of the mine &t $6 to 7 a ton, when it is actually worth no more than $4. In this way they are sure of from $2 to $3 profit on every ton of ore ex- tracted from the mine, while ‘the real stock- holders of the mine must be satisfied with what is leit for dividends after the milling bills are paid. To show what the three millionaires have been making from this deal Mr. Sieberst quoted figures from the reports of the Consolidated California and Virginia Mining Company, giving the output of the mines for six years ending October 1, 1891. These show that about 715,960 tons were taken out during that period, valued at about $16,220,000, and that the mill com- pany was paid nearly $5,000,000 out of this amount. In concluding the interview Mr. Sieherst said he did not see how the case could be decided otherwise than in favor of his client, and cited the decision of the Su- preme Court in the case of Stewart et al. vs. Mahoney Mining Company et al. In this case Hyman P. Bush voted 1000 shares in which he had no interest, nor was he the owner of any shares of the zompany. In rendering the decision the court stated us follows: Bush was not the proxy or representative of either of the owners of the stock, nor was he a member of the corporation, nor was he a bona- fide stockholder, therefore he had no legal right to vote the stock. “With our victory in this suit,” he added, ‘“will come an end of the present pernicious system of proxy voting.” THE TRADES COUNCIL. It Declined to Wholly Indorse the Actlon of the Railroad Com- missioners. The San Francisco Trades Council took a stand upon the subject of railroais and the Railroad Commissioners at its meeting last evening. A communication was re- ceived from the Sacramento Federated Trades requesting the council to indorse a resolution passed by the federation com- mending the action of the Railroad Com- missioners in reducing the Southern Pacific’s freight rates. The resolution further sets forth that the Commissioners have fulfilled their obligations to the public. These laudatory sentiments drew out a protest from several members of the coun- cil, who argued that such was not the case. The secretary explained that recently a this particular case number of employes of the rail- road in Sacramento, Los Angeles and other places had passed resolutions condemming the Commissioners for making the reductions, and claiming that they, the railroad employes, voiced the sentiment of organized labor. The secretary denied that these sentiments were indorsed by organized labor. particu- larly when so many of those who passed the resolution were the very men who took the places of the strikers in the last big strike. He added that the Sacramento Federation’s &)urpose in passing the reso- lution in hand was to emphasize a denial that the railroad employes’ voiced organized labor. The council was willing to trip up the railroad employes, but would not go to the oint of throwing bouquets to the Railroad ‘ommissioners, but passed a compromise resolution: WHEREAS, Certain persons in various parts of the State have been circulating a petition in the form of a protest against the action of the Railroad Commissioners in reducing treight rates upon the Southern Pacific, claiming to represent the voice and sentiments of organ- ized labor. Resolved, That according to the knowledge and on behalf of the San Francisco Labor Councit these men did not in any manner pre- sent the views of organized labor and hed no sanction in such regard; and Resolved, That we recognize the justice and necessity of lower railroad rates and trust our Railroad Commissioners and our courts will grant the relief in this direction so urgently needed by the agricultural and mercantile in- terests of our State.
