1 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNE SDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1895. WRITHED IN THE STRESS, Henry Miller Perspired Under Counselor Delmas’ Questions. DIIRECT THRUST ON THRUST. The Cattle King Ever Shielded Himself | Behind the Miller & Lux Accounts. Henry Mill the wit at Redwood Ci , z of cattlemen, was on and in Juc Buck’s court v vesterday a t to remove Jei Sheldon Potter the L estate. It is of ving ordeal Jesse Potter ed th zh under the tioning of Counselor Delm: e morning the same fate befel merciless During t 11 Mr. Miller, and he parried, dodged and writhed in his chair under the terrible fire of questions. The piration literally streamed down his good fighter, and, like nificent steer, such as might be common on the great Miller & Lux ranges, he would from time to time pull himself together and, with lowering head, defi- v charge b. only to become tangled in the coils thrown t by the skillful vaquero and go rolling in the dust.

During the day there arose a sharp con- flict between the different attorn as to just what Judge Spencer had said in the conversation at Mr. Miller’s officein San Francisco, iich both sides made charges and counter charges. Pinned down to the question what was Judge Spencer there for—what did he want—Mr. Miller answered that his principal object seemed to be, would Mr. Miller buy out Mrs. Lux's interest in the Miller & Lux estate? Wit- so stated that he had receiyed sev- ch advances from various sources, ness a eral si but would never entertain them. All t. afternoon was consumed by Mr. s in inquiring from Mr. Miller about s accounts, loans, figures, stocks and interest items that have already been reported. But Mr. Miller was equal to the occasion. His haven of refuge was behind the Miller & Lux books. Did the books show it, it must be And whenever he could not explain—why, 1t would all be found in the book: [T NDS THE CHILOREN, Charitable Work of the French Christian Union of Cali- fornia. Annual Meeting of the Organization and Election of Executive Officers. The first annual meeting of the French Christian Union of California was held terday at the residence of Mme. Marie shall at 151 Clay street. At the morning session, which was a business meeting, there was read the re- vort of Mrs. W. M. Searby, recording sec- retary; that of Miss Mecker, correspond- ing secretary; that of Miss McDonala of the committee of the work in the school of the union, and that of Mrs. E. V. Rob- bins, the treasurer. The following named were chosen offi- cers for the ensuing year: President, Mme. Marie Marshall; vVice-presidents, Mrs. J. G. Clarke, Mrs. M. Burke, Mrs. W. Ever- son, Mrs. R. Gratto, Mrs. Harrington, Mr: Pomeroy; recording secretary, Mrs, W. M. Seurby ; corresponding secretary, Mme. Ma; Osborn ; treasurer, Mrs. E. V. Robbins, Av the afternoon session Mrs, Clarke followed the Rey. Mr. Dupre; opened the meeting with prayer, short address in which she dwelt upon the work tnat had been done by the union in the year that it had been organized in be- half of the children of French residents, and closed with an appeal to the charitable to assist the union in its grand work. Mrs. Marshall, the president, occupied some time in delivering a review of what the union was estabhished for and of its purposes. She said that the union is for the care and education of little ones of French parentage, who are brought up under the kindergarten system on Satur- days when the other schools are not in session. The union has also established an employment office for what is called the industrial section for girls of any re- ligion who are without a home and need the care of Christian people to watch over them and save them from snares set for them by men with evil de- signs. Bhe said that many of these girls have been assisted to places and that the system of placing them is different from ordinary employment offices. The union furnishes reierence and requires reference from emnvloyers, and it also requires a formal visit from those who wish to em- ploy girls. The primary department, she said, has 1 day long in | ck upon his pursuer, but | | to consent to a distribution on now; that Mr. Delmas could | apers to that effect and that he | | be now an average attendance of forty on Saturdays, little tots from 4 to 6 years, who are taught the language of their parents. For the girls of the Industrial School they are made to feel that there is a home for them to come to if they find themselves alone and friendless in this City. Professor W. M. Searby delivered a short address and spoke encouragingly of the work of the union and expressed the hope that it will grow to extend its sphere of usefulness. A set of bright-faced, happy little ones from the kindergarten occupied a_ plat- form in the rear of the pariorsand they gave songs and recitations in French. Mlle. Egarta, a Swiss young woman of the industrial class, gave a recitation and made a brief address in French, returning thanks to the ladies of the union for the v kindnesses shown the class. fiss Josephine Sistermans, a warm friend of the union, sang ‘“Indian Love " in English and for an encore gave -enade to” Mignon” in French, by Both were rendered with good was followed by “Nobody’s Child,” recited oy Miss Wintler of the sewing class and songs and recitations by the little ones. s “FRAUDS AND SCHEMERS. Charges Made by Against mprovement Clubs ach Other, A very pretty row is under way between the Western Addition Improvement Club under Charles H. Hubbs and the Western Addition Improvement Club under James Bowlan. So far the evidences of war have not gone further than one side calling the other frauds and schemers, and hinting at worse things in print. The trouble grows out of several ideal ways of developing the value of property in the Western Addition. Last week the Hubbs wing of the Western Addition Im- provement Club petitioned the Board of Supervisors to pass an ordinance forbidding the burial of any more bodies in the county except in such lots as were already sold for the purpose. ; The petition has provoked the following reply from the Bowlan wing of the West- ern Addition Improvement Club. Inci- dentally it may be mentioned that the last named wing claims to be the *‘only and original bona fide” Western Addition Im- provement Club. “Offshoot” is the kind- est name it calls the other siae. At a special meeting of the Western Addition ment Club, held Monday evening at s Hall, 1t was unanimously adopted that this communication be forwarded for vour consideration. It has been reported that a phantom club calling itself the Richmond District Property-owners’ Club has forwarded a petition to your honorable board soliciting that you take sction and prevent by resolution further burials after the vear 1900 within the corporate limits of the City and County. Such club exists in imagination and if it_does exist claims among its officers men who are not - . Charles H.

The matter will come before the Board of Supervisors at its next meeting and be referred to the proper committee for con- sideration. At that meeting it is expected that the representatives of both wings will present to properly advocate their rights. THE GERMAN POETS FETE All Preparations for the Big Goethe-Schiller Festival Complete. Special Instructions to the Participants Regarding the Reception of the Guests. Nearly all the arrangements for the grand Goethe - Schiller festival to take place in the Mechanics’ Pavilion have been completed, and the success of the event is already assured. Some idea can be had of the interest in the affair from the attendance at the last and final meet- ing, which was held in Beethoven Hall in the Hotel Savoy. The hall was packed to the doors and even standing room was at apremium. Those present were nearly all ladies, who will take partin tne festival or else are on the committees. Nearly all the gentlemen who accompanied the iadies were obliged to remain outside the hall. Theodore Vogt, who was engaged as the musical conductor to lead the choruses ported that he is busy every da; ing with rehearsals, and he promised that he would present a grand musical pro- gramme for the entire season, which will last five days. The committee on decorations stated that palms, ferns and flowers enough to fill the big pavilion to the roof have been offered. Many offers of this class have been received from Fresno, Santa Cruz and other parts of the State. Not a few will be accepted. At a previous meeting it was decided to extend invitations to the faculties of ford and Berkeley colleges. Profe: Putzker of Berkeley stated that at the col- lege across the bay there are fnlly students of the German language and Ger- man literature. He was sure that there are as many more students of this charac- ter at Stanford. It was decided to extend a special invitation to the students of both universities, and particularly to those who are interested in Germas A letter from Senator Carl Schurz elicited much applause. The ex-Secretary of the Interior sent his congratulations and good wishes for the festival and offered to make a contribution to the souvenir that the committee will issue. In _conclusion the instructions to the participants were issued. As the man- agers desire to make the festival a social success particular stress was laid upon the following rule: Not more than the prices fixed for admission to booths and for articles to be disposed of must be charged, and correct cash change must be tendered in all cases. The best way to make the fest and social success is to treat vi they will take pleasure in coming again and in bringing their friends with them. For this reason it is recommended to do everything to make their stay pleasant, and not to press them to spend more money than they desire. Consideration in this respect must also be shown to members of committees and other participants who sacrifice much of their time and money for the benefit of the festival. Members of committees and representatives of the press, wearing proper’ badges, must be admitted free to all the booths, ————— Seven Nurses to Graduate. Dr. F. H. Stahle has added four new nurses to the corps at the City ana County Hospital. Two of these are undergraduates of the San Francisco Training School for Nurses, and will graduate with the class in December. It is a busy time with the young women students in the art of alleviating pain. They are attending several lecturesa week, delivered by Doctors Kreutzman, McLean, Ellinwooa, Rixford, Hirshchfeld, Hubbell, llogklns, Bur- ton, Kerr, Shiels or Van Hoffman, besides the active duties of their respective wards. There will be rigorous examinations, written and oral, including the dreaded “‘cuizzes,” the first week of December. and on the following Tuesdey the graduation exercises will take place, probably at one of the churches. ———— Editor and Printer. The souvenir of the town of Redlands, Cal., recently issued by the Chamber of Commerca of that town, is a very creditable piece of work. The work was done by Scipio Craig, editor of the Redlands Citrograph, on a two-roller press. Mr. Craig deserves great credit for the manner in which he turned out the souvenir. Heisan up-to-date printer who knows how to make & half-tone picture fairly speak. THE WINTER EXRIBITION, Artists Say It Will Not Be a “Serious” Display of Their Works. DANNAT PORTRAIT OF RASCHEN | A Masterpiece by the Celebrated Painter to Be Exhibited for the First Time. The artists are not all evincing enthu- siasm over the winter exhibition at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art to open November 14. They have been restricted to two bictures each, which were never publicly exhibited, and besides their efforts will have to compare with the loan collee- tions of masters of painting. There will be a meeting of artists to-day at the Art Institute to elect a jury of nine members, who shall accept or reject pictures sub- mitted, but even on the eve of this event, which on occasions of spring exhibitions concerts and reception, which painters, who are neither sweet singers nor skilled violinists, cannot reconcile with exhibi- tions. MISS KEANE PURSUED. The Little Actress Complains of False Marriage Notices and Anony- mous Letters. Miss Mae Keane, the pretty little actress, living 723 Twenty-third street, who filled a | ten weeks’ engagement at Grover’s Theater | last winter and will play at the enter- | tainment for the benefit of St. Patrick’s | Church next week, would like to know | Who her secret enemies are. | A few weeks ago a notice of her mar- Tiage to 2 young man. whom, she says, she | has never seen, was sent to the morning papers, the notice being signed with her mother’s name. The account was pub- lished, greatly to the surprise and chagrin of the younglady and her mother. This | mistake was rectified, but since that time | she has been annoved almost daily by | anonymous letters, ridiculing her personal appearance and her acting. & The latest attempt to place her in a false light has been the sending to the papers for publication, over her name, a notice that she had tired of stage life and was about to abandon it. Miss Keane ]wmno\mces the letter a forgery and says ! leaving the stage is the farthest thing from her thoughts. Meanwhile she is pondering over the roblem as to the authorship of the etters. That there is more than one person interested in the plot is evident "mromt Sonts PORTRAIT STUDY OF HENRY RASCHEN BY THE FAMOUS DANNAT, PAINTED IN MUNICH IN 188%. \is, however, they were free to explain vesterday, did not contain any gloomy forebodings, for they believed that a really fine collection of paintings will grace the walls of the of the association’s rooms, and the best summer work of home workers will have a place among the loaned dar- lings of milliona ires. One of the best portraits to be exhibited | will be a masterful oil painting represent- ing Henrv Raschen. the artist. by Dannat, now celebrated among the most eminent painters of the day. Raschen prizes the picture beyond price, though in real worth there are very few portraits indeed in San Francisco that can equal it. The head is painted after the old putch style, luminous in color and light and actually aglow with Dannat’s powerful treatment, that is broad to a last degree, vet wonderful in effect It goes without saying that, as a portrait it is the living, expressive face ot the artist subject, with the molding and the secret of putting life into paint, denied to so many who will make pictures of faces, but that made Dannat famous. background, indistinct and subjective everywhere, the face stands out boidly like the countenance on a rare old Dutch masterpiece. Dannat was a student in Munich wiih Ra n in the seventies. His companions Jobn Stanton Says the Exhibition Is Not Serious. were Duveneck, William Chase, Henry Alexander, Walter Shirlaw, Walter Mc- Ewen, Phelps, the Bostonese cattie painter, and Raschen. When they were about to separate in 1878 he painted their portraits, as mementoes. Since then he has become famous and wealthy. He has been a con- stant exhibitor in” the honor rank at the Paris salon. Three of his 8panish pictures were secured by the Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York after one of them had been the sensation in art circles of the me- tropolis. It was he who entertained Mr. Iyes, the Columbian World’s Fair Com- missicner in Paris, at an artists’ dinner. and he has become widely known as the entertainer of his colleagues. John Stanton says he will exhibit bis sweetheart, the beautiful old pastel por- trait of a French lady, which he discovered in a_junkshop recently. ‘‘But this exhibition is not serious,” he remarked, ‘‘One exhibition a year is enough—in the spring. Now, this was intended to be a show of sketches made during the summer season. Then that idea was changed. and the association lim- ited artists to two pictures_each, and sent out cards of invitation to rich men, askin, for a loan of their pictures. Of course shall exhibit two pictures, and all the other artists will do the same.” One incident in connection with the affair has not been allowed to pass un- noticed.

Philbrook Declares the Deed Is a Will, Fraudulently Obtained and Void. The defense in the Garcelon trial has outlined its case. Attorney Philbrook be- gan his opening argument yesterday fore- noon at the close of Judge Williams’ com- prehensive review for the complainants and Bowdoin College. | As a preliminary statement Philbrook declared that not a scrap of testimony had | been offered in proof of the complainants | that there was a conspiracy in the ranks of the defense by which Mr. Dargie and others were in league with the real defendant, James P. Merritt. He further declared that in a case like the one at bar it is al- ways incumbent upon the plaintiffs to prove their title to lKe property they wish to have others restrained from’ interfering with. Even though the defendants have no claim, said Philbrook, if the plaintiifs came into possession by fraud, a court of equity will grant relief. Then, forecasting his line of argument, ha divided it into three parts. First, that the trust deeds were reaily testamentary in character, and were only a shift and a contrivance to get round a statute of this State which says only one-third of one’s property can be leit by will to charity. Second, that the disposition of property obtained from Catherine M. Garcelon was by fraud, and is consequently void. Third, that the proofs show one general scheme | to defraud Mrs. Garcelon of her property. Expanding at great length upon his first pont, and citing numerous cases, Phil- brook claimed that the Garcelon trust, un- like the James Lick trust, was testa- mentary in fact, 1f not in form, and that there had been no delivery because the deed remained in possession of Mrs. Gar- celon’s agents, The second and third points will be en- larged upon to-day, when the introduction for the defense wili close. SUED FOR INSURANCE Captain Woodside of the Bawnmore Wants His Policy Paid. Captain Alexander Woodside of the wrecked steamer Bawnmore and his wife Isabella Woodside have sued the Canton Insurance Company for $2000. On March 12 last, previous to sailing on the fatal voy- age, Captain Woodside and his3wife in- sured their personal belongings, alleged to have been worth $4000, in the Canton con- cern for $2000. After the disaster the company re- fused to pay tne policy, on the ground that the goods had not been a total loss. The Woodsides claim that every- thing was either lost or so badly damaged as to be useless, and began suit in the United States District Court yesterday. ———————— THE CAPTAIN EXONERATED. Skipper Edwards of the Wrecked Hum- boldt Free From Blame. The United States Inspectors of Steam Vessels have completed their inquiry into the loss of the steamer Humboldt that was wrecked at Point Gorda, on the Mendo- ¢ino coast, on September 28, The testi- mony of Captain W. F. Edwards was to the effect that he had had his compasses adjusted before leaving this port, had taken all possible precaution, and that the acci- dent was due to some unavoidable cause. The Inspectors exonerated the captain from all blame in the matter, and found that the wreck was due to ‘‘chan ges in the known variation of the compass or to some unusual set of the strong easterly current at Point Gorda,” TWENTY YEARS OF DELAY, How an Estate Dwindled From Big Proportions to Noth- ing. THE HEIRS DIE ONE BY ONE. Tan Ygzars Employad in Doing Two Hours’ Work. Judge Hebbard, vpon the express stipu- lation of attorneys on both sides in the settlement of the estates of Edward T. Kennedy and Amelia Marie Kennedy, made an order some months ago making an allowance for expenses and attorneys’ fees amounting to several thousand dol- lars. Judge Coffey under similar representa- tions made an order permitting the sale of certain real estate, out of the proceeds of which this amount was to be paid. Walter H. Linforth appeared before both these courts yesterday morning and se- cured orders which require all parties to appear next Friday morning to show why the order in the one case should not be modified and in the other set aside. ‘William T. Baggett and Charles H. Lin- forth represent a creditor of the estate,who has secured judgment and holds a Sheriff’s deed for the property to be sold. The facts which they set forth afford a remark- able illustration of how estates may be and are literally appropriated by the lawyers engaged in their ‘‘settlement.” In the hearing before Judge Coffey yes- terday upen the petition of Attorneys Baggett and Linforth fora distribution of this estate 1t was developed that the monthly rentais, which in 1875 amounted to $500, now average $26 a month—thus diminished while the heirs have receiyed nothing. The estate, which in 1873 was valued at $150,000, now is practically nil. The story briefly is this: Edward Ken- nedy died in 1873, bequeathing his widow half and to trustees for his three children the other half of his estate, which, as stated, was valued at about $150,000. Within a year after the death of the father the mother also died. The father's estate was promptly closed up by Hall McAllister, the children’s half going to trustees and the mother’s half 1o Alfred Chaignean as executor of the mother’s estate. That wound up the father’s estate. Now enters 4 small army of the lawyers. John J. Roche became the attorney of the executor, Alfred Chaigneau, also of Mrs, Chaigneau, administratrix of the estate of Amelia Victoria Kennedy, one of the daughters, who has since died. Henry Highton represented Mrs. Ken- nedy, widow of Edward T. Kennedy, | Henry Eichoff was appointed by the court to look out for the interests of Edna V. Kennedy, an_infant, and Andrew Thorne represented Frederick Kennedy as the ad- ministrator of the estate of his brother Ed- ward, for the heirs kept dyng during the twenty years of legal waiting. Following the mother’s death the daugh- ter died, leaving two brothers. Edward T. Kennedy, one of the brothers, married in 1889. He died leaving a widow and a child. The widow 1s now heir to a quarter of what iy left of the mother’s, sistery’ and her husband’s interest. Her child is heir to another quarter of this same, and Fred- erick K., the surviving son and brother, is heir to the half. From 1875 the bLeirs waited and begged for a distribution of the estate, but could not secure it. In 1892 the widow of Ed- ward T. Kennedy, left entirely without means, borrowed money from Edith A. Chapell to begin a suit for an accounting, and that has run along before a referee, Nathan Frank, with postponement after postponement, culminating in this order for sale of real estate, to which all the at- torneys in the case by stipulation agreed. Henry Eichoff, the attorney appointed by the court, said yesterday that this ac- counting matter, which has run through two years, could have and should have been settled in two hours. In despair of ever having the money re- for the bringing of this suit, Edith A. Chapell brought suit on her own account to recover the sum, and engaged Baggett and Linforth. They got judgment and, as stated, had a Sheriff’s deed to the f)roperty ordered sold. They oppose the sale on the ground that the attorneys simply want to get hold of the cash to appropriate another large slice of the small fragment of the estate that is left. In their petition for setting aside the order referred to they make the statement that J. J. Roche has already received fees in excess of the $2500 for which he agreed to settle up the estate, afld that he is under the stipulated agreement presente to the court, claiming $1500 still more. The court is asked to cut this sum, to- gether with others cited, out of the order which has been allowed. Tt is asserted that Frederick Kennedy, the surviving son of Edward Kennedy, who is administrator of the estate of his brother, is sickly and of weak mind, and that this fact has been taken advantage of to delay a settlement. Under examination by Mr. Linforth be- fore Judge Coffey Kennedy admitted to signing deeds for the sale of valuable prop- erty, and confessed that he never saw the money resulting from such sales, and did not know what had become of it. At the close of the examination he fell from the witness-stand in a fit. THEY AVOID THE ISSUE. Supervisors Arraigned by the Union for Practical Progress. Municipal Ownership of Water and Lighting Plants Discussed Last Evening. The Union for Practical Progress held a largely attended meeting last evening, at which were present numerous advocates of the municipal ownership of water and lighting plants. John M. Reynolds, who vresided, read the petition recently presented to the Board of Supervisors asking that a special election be called to give the voters of the City a chance to pass upon the proposi- tion. He stated that the various committees of the board had shown an inclination to avoid the issue in spite of the fact that they had beenl shown the vast advantages of municipal ownership and also that in every city in the United States where a special election was held on the issue the people had voted in favor of it. He stated, however, that the committee of the union was not going to let the mat- ter drop, but would push on by every means in its power until the tight was won or the battle was seen to be hopeless. He called attention to the municipal owner- ship ¢lubs that are being formed through- eut the City, and predicted that even- tually, through their influence, the Board of Supervisors wouid be compelled to listen to the voice of the majority and call the election, which must result n victory. He spoke of the attitude of tbe press in turned to her that she loaned the w.dowl the matter, and commended THE CALL for the stand it had taken and for its liberality in giving the news of its movement. Taylor Rogers was then introduced to speak on the question. His address was devoted principally to the effects of com- i petition and co-operation. He character- ized the former as a rule of the few and the ruin of the many, and the latter asthe hope of the masses and the only proper method ot conducting municipal affairs. He believed that, applied to the issue be- fore the meeting, it would mean the eman- cipation of the City from the monopolies that now control the public utilities so necessary to the people. Max Popper was introduced and spoke of the efforts that had been made in years gone by to effect municipal ownership or obtain fair and just rates from the com- gnmeg owning the great public utilities. Te said thst in spite of the pledges of the platform on which they had been elected Supervisors had refused time after time to carry out their promises. The time had come, he said, when the people must give up hope of getting fair rates from the private individuals owning the plantsand must get Possession of the same to_be controlled y the municipality. He believed that they should be acquired by purchase at a just valuation, and_that the water plant should be boughit first, the rest to follow if public ownership proved feasible. At the close of the meeting the chair- man spoke of the efforts of the union to keep corrupting influences away from cer- tain Supervisors, and said that he believed that the scheme would be successful, and that eventually when temptation was entirely removed the members of the board would bow to the will of the seople and order the special election desired. i CYCLIST IN TROUBLE. C. G. Sparrow Charged With the Death . of Frank Williams. C. G. Sparrow, confectioner, living at 531 Alvarado street, surrendered himself at police headquarters yesterday, and was booked at the City Prison for manslanghter in causing the death of Frank Williams by knocking him down with his bicycle on Geary street last Thursday. Sparrow made the following statement etectives Gibson and Reynolds: Ileft my place of business about 4:30 . M. on the afternoon of October 27 to go to the corner of Morton and Kearny streets to get shaved. The route I took on my bicycle was along Geary street, going in the direction of Kearny street. As I came to Jones street, about 100 feet from that street, a car Was com- ing from the direction of Market street. A man jumped out of the way of the car and came "direetly in front of my wheel. At the same moment my elbow struck the man, and he fell to the street and I was also knocked from my wheel by the shock. I assisted in placing the man on the sidewalk, and from there we took him to the drugstore at Geary and Jones streets. I then went to tne express office at 539 Jones street, and teiephoned for the ambulance, and, thinking the man was not very badly hurt, I went on my way. I knew nothing further about the accident until Iread about it in the papers this morning, and I atonce came to this o .. Hale & Norcross Appeal. Notice has been filed in the caseof M. W.

The motion will be made upon_the ground that the appesi is from a judgment entered by the Superior Court by direction of the Supreme Court, and that the appeal is taken solely for delaying the payment of the judgment and is frivolous &nd vexatious and without merit.

Could all women realize the undeni- able fact that they suffer unnecessarily, how much brighter life would be! Lydia E. Pinkkam devoted her life to the study of female diseases and their cause ; and she discovered inthe Vege- table Compound an absolute remedy. It succeeds in removing the cause of the trouble. ‘Women who rely more upon their own natural common-sense, rather than on the theories of their physicians, write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., and are soon restored to health. Here is a living example: ¢ Four months ago I was unable to stand on my feet. I had falling of the womb, kidney trouble, and inflammation of the bladder; the backache and bearing- down pains were dreadful. My physician could give me no relief. A friend said, try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. ‘Well, I did. Oh, if every suffering woman would do the same, they would be cured, cured absolutely and entirely, as I am!” Mgs. Wy M.
