16 HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31. 1895. JOHN D, SPRECKELS What He Has Done To- ward Bringing It to This City. ABOUT LOCAL POLITICS. He Does Not Consider Colonel | Dan Burns a Factor in the Fight. PITTSBURG OUR ONLY RIVAL. Quay Is Trying to Fight for the Smoky City—Claus Spreckels Returns. Claus Spreckels returned to San Fran- cisco yesterday from Europe. | With him came his wife and children, | and Charles M. Shortridge was one of the party. The old sugar king is 1n the best of | health, strong and rugged and keen to get back into harness after his five months’ vacation. John D. Spreckels crossed the continent to meet his father and return with him. The trip from New York to Oakland was made in Claus Spreckles’ private car. The regular overland train brought it to Oak- land at 10:15 yestert morning, At Six- teenth street the party was met by a dele- gation of the officers of the San Joaquin Valley road, consisting of acting Presi- dent Robert Watt, Attorney E. F. Preston, Thomas Magee and several others. They began talking Valley road as soon as the greetings were over and did not cease until the millionaire had reached his office on Market street. he new road is never out of Claus Spreckels’ mind. The first question he asked his son when he landed from the | steamer at New York related to the road and he spoke of it all the way across the | continent. The elder Spreckels spent most of his | time abroad at Marienbad, a health resort | in Bokemia, not because he required the medicinal qualities of the water, but be- cause it is a pleasant spot and there he could find rest from business cares. He, however, found time to visit the European capitals. The party tarried a while in New York on their way home and Claus and John D. Spreckels exerted what influ- ence they had in trying to persnade the big men of the Republican party that San Francisco is the proper place for the con- vention. “I know we stand a good chance to get the convention,” said John D. Spreckels yesterday. “The delegates as a rule are anxious to come to California—it is still the land of gold and romance to most of the Easterners. Their inclination is one strong point in our favor; there are obsta- cles in the way, of course, but the delegates approach the subject with a desire to mini- mize the obstacles. “Pittsburg is our only rival for the con- vention. Chicago is doing nothing to get it, and though it would be glad to have the assembly, it seems sometimes to rest | its case on its geographical position. Of course, Chicago thinks it is entitled to the convention. It had the World’s Fair and the last convention, but the Lake City is not satisfied yet. “Pittsburg is trying to get the conven- tion, and that city has some strong men working for her, but I think we have the best of the competition so far. Of course, the argument is made that we have not the telegraphic facilities, etc., requisite for an event of National importance, and as soon as we can convince the doubting Easterners that we can Landle the conven- tion I believe they will agree to come; and ON THE CONVENTION. it was on this point that we did our best | missionary work. “If we do get the convention it will be | the greatest thing for California that has come to pass in many a year. The gentle- men who come ont here to attend the con- | vention will not be satistied to merely sit | Fin a crowded hall for a few days and then 2o home. Many of those who would other- | wise go to Florida or the Bahamas for the | winter will spend their holiday in Cali- | fornia instead. They will travel around | the State, and when they return to their | homes every one of them will be a walk- ing advertisement of California.” “What do you think of the efforts al- ready made in the West?” “Judging from conversations with many prominent men of the East,”’ responded Mr. Spreckels, ‘I am of the opinion much | good work has been already done. The ef- i forts put forth by our people fouryears ago | are now bearing fruit. The objections | raised against us have been fairly an- | swered, and, I think, to the satisfaction of the party leaders and the members of the National Committee. It is now generally | admitted that our hotel accommodations | Gate seems a long way off to those who have never made the trip. I may say the only objection now seriously urged by the workers of other cities 1s that of the dis- tance from the East. But the fact that such quick time can be and is now being made greatly weakens that objection. If the railroad people fix a low rate and pro- vide for through trains with dining-cars attached the last and only objection would be removed. Having answered the objec- tions which others set up against us, it should be our purpose then to urge every advantage we have. Aside from the pleasure which the trip itself will afford, we should make a strong plea on the ground of the comfort of the delegates in convention. The plain statement of the truth regarding the excessive heat in the East during the month of June is quite sufficient in itself to induce many to seek the genial climate of California. I am satisfied that San Francisco has to-dav a good chance of bringing off the conven- tion here.” *‘What are the forces that oppose San Francisco's ambition ?” was the next ques- tion put to Mr. Spreckels. *“Pittsburg has developed into a very formidable rival,”” he repiied. “This is due to the fact that Mr. Quay is using every endeavor to take the convention to his own city. He has no criticism to make on California, and the idle objections made by others seem to have but little influence CLAUS SPRECKELS. are amvle and compare favorably even | with Chicago, and it is conceded that the Lake City has no superior in that respect. | The claim made by some of the news- papers that the telegraphic facilities are inadequate no longer cuts any figure. Mr. Shortridge obtained statements from the press associations and the telegraphic companies which fully convinced the managers of the great New York dailies that no trouble would be experienced in the way of receiving complete and most | extended reports. All with whom I met spoke kindly of California. The reputa- tion of San Francisco in the East is very good. “The royal reception given to the Knights Templar when they assembled | here has been told of to thousands, and | the generosity and hospitality ot oux peo- | | ple are well understood. Few there are | who did not have a friendly word for us | and express a desire to visit the wonder- | land of the West. Naturally the Golden ! upon his mind. He urges, however, the claims of Pittsburg, and is openly in the fight to capture the convention. His warm personal relation with Mr. Piatt of New York and his great prestige as a leader very naturally bring to his sup- port many of the leading spirits of the party. Some claim that the convention should go to Pittsburg as an honor to Mr. | Quay; but it is no idle prediction when I say that there are in all probability other and move distinguished acts of appreciation which the party can and undoubtedly will pay to Mr. | Quay. If the committee appointed here | to visit Washington when the National Committee meets can induce Mr. Quay to slacken for the moment his energies in behalf of Pittsburg, it scems a reasonable prediction to claim that San Francisco will be the convention city of 1896. I found no objections urged by the friends of any of the leading candidates for Presi- dent. JOHEN D, SPRECKELS GIVING HIS VIEWS ON TEE SBITUATION, [sketched yesterday from tige by @ “Catt” astist] “It is understood that our people here would give the great candidates each and alla generous welcome; and that if the convention is held in San Francisco the tield would be open and the contest fair, Aside from the great benefits which the State would derive from the leading men of the country obtaining a more correct opinion of our industries, there are other advantages which California would receive if she could secure the convention. The true spirit of Republicanism would be again aroused. Many of the old support- ers of the party, who through mismanage- ment of small party bosses have grown cold, would again be called back to the support of the great and undying pria- ciples which will be at stake in the coming contest. Pure men actuated solely by honorable motives would be encouraged to labor and vote for the party’s success. There is no question but that the party will be successful. The nominee of our convention will assuredly be the Presi- dent. “The holding of the convention in San Francisco will place California and the Pacitic Coast States firmly in line with the Republican East. This will work much good. California, so long neglected, would so impress herseli upon the great party leaders tkat her claims would be recog- nized. This in itself forms, or should form, a strong inspiration for every loyal Republican to work for the convention. I am naturally, therefore, very anxious to see the convention come to San Francisco. I have a pride in seeing the State known in its true light east of the Rocky Moun- tains. It is to see the party once more free from all the blighting influences which have been hovering over it. I wantour claims recognized. I shall seek only for men who believe in them and who will see that they are given consideration. ““California is naturally a Republican State. She is a protection State. While her industries are vitally affected by Na- tional legislation, and when once the views of the people can honestly be heard, California will take her place alongside of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Towa asa Republican State which can be depended upon. To achieve such a victory for Cali- fornia is no little undertaking. I am of the opinion, however, that the proper way to proceed is to consalt the rank and file of the party. San Francisco has heretofore been justly criticized in attempting to largely control the State. This should no longer be the rule; every/section should be represented. Party workers and party leaders should all be consulted and their views acceded to. If it can be once more understood that fair and honorable treat- ment is to be accorded to the workers and that the Republican party is to be repre- sented without reference to section or lo- cality, & revival of party spirit will be the result. No permanent victory can be won upon any other lines. If Iam tobe con- sulted at all in the management of the party I shall proceed on this theory. It seems to me that the party needs to be harmonized, and the way to harmonize is to give representation. “One reason that California has hereto- fore received but little attention from the National Government is the want of har- mony and directness of purpose. No sooner would one man be mentioned for a others opposed him. This is all wrong, and in my judgment can be corrected in the way I have suggested. We can come together and discuss our differences and agree upon a distinct policy which would lead us to victory. That would not only carry the State for the Republican ticket, but those places of honor and trust which should fall to California can be secured. The real leaders of the party can and will be recognized by proper management and just treatment; all factions can be har- monized, and our State will present her- self and her just claims will be allowed.” “And who do you think will be the choice of the convention 2" “I am not in a position to give an opin- ion. I heard many things said in favor of McKinley. He has a strong following and loyal supporters who claim his nomi- nation to come as a logical result of the issues which will be uppermost in the minds of the paople. *‘Mr. Reed of Maine has a strong follow- ing. His great record as Speaker of the House of Representatives is pointed to, and his splendid intellectual equipment has admirers in all parts of the country. “I found also that Allison stands high in the estimation of the people. His long career in the Senate has made his charac- ter familiar to millions of people, and his unblemished record will serve him well when the party representatives are as- sembled. ““The coming contest is truly a great one. Admittedly the nominee of the Republi- can party will be elected, and the fight therefore for the nomination will be one of the greatest and stubbornest of any since the nomination of Lincoln. The principles of the party are well under- stood, and it will therefore be a contest between leaders. California can afford and should give to each due consideration. No effort should be made to favor any of the great leaders, particularly until after the place of the convention has been de- cided upon. Our duty is first to California, then to our party and lastly we must choose among the leaders. No mistake could be made in accepting either of the three prominent candidates now before the people. It is likely there will be others, and their claims should receive just con- sideration. “If I were to assume to advise the Re- publicans of California, I would conjure them to organize and harmonize, and to bear in mind the great principles for which our party stands, and to present California as she has not been for vears, as one har- Ewnio,us, active, aggressive, Republican tate.” “zes to local politics, what do you think of the situation in San Francisco ?”’ “Republican victory,” answered Mr. Spreckels. “Itis as certain in municipal as in National affairs. The Democracy of San Francisco is split up among contend- ing factions. There is dissatisfaction with that party’s rule, and if the Republican affairs are administered with the common- est sort of intelligence we cannot lose.” ill take a personal interest in local politics then, Mr. Spreckels?” “I expect to be more active than I have ever been. It ismy aim to do what I can toward putting the Government in the hands of honest and respectable officers. In no other way can a decent administra- tion be secured.” “Rather a large contract, isn’t it?” “It can be done with the co-operation of men who feel as I do, and who are willing to do their share of the work. It can be done with the regular organizations of the party and the present seems to be a propi- tious time to begin. I cannot teli you now who I would choose for officers. The election is too far off yet. but there are lots of good men in the Republican part; whose administration would be wit honor to themselves and prosperity to the State.” ‘‘The Democrats say that the Republi- can party is as badly split n%u their own, and mention Colonel Dan Burns in this connection.” “I have been away,” said Mr. Spreckels, “for some weeks, and do not know what has happened here lately. Colonel Burns has, of course, some adherents, but I do not think their ntmber is great enough to be dignified with the name of a faction of the Republican party. I would certainly not reckon Colonel Burns as a factor of importance in the coming campaign.” place of honor and trust when a thousand | RATE WAR IN' PROSPECT. Trouble Brewing Between the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe, HARVEST FOR THE SCALPERS. The First Important Skirmish Set for the Early Part of Next Month. Railroad ticket-scalpers are looking for- ward with delight to the prospects of a rich harvest with the inauguration of the Sunset limited train on the 5th of Novem- ber. Simultaneously with that departure will come another change of pohcy. There will be an invasion by the Southern Pacific Company of what has been neutral territory, as agreed upon between the Southern Pacific Company and the Santa Fe, and a counter-invasion by the Santa Fe of Southern Pacific territory, which it had agreed to keep outof aslong as the Southern Pacific kept out of mutually pre- scribed neutral territory. This virtual declaration of war between the two great California rival roads will not be opened with a direct cut on rates, but rates will be so adjusted that while the railroads will not be engaged in wielding the knife it will gave the scalpersa splen- did opportunity of doing so, the advantage lying with the company which gives the scalpers the widest margin to divide with passengers, and from the start the advan- tage will be with the Southern Pacific. These new arrangements will not go into effect until the 5th by either of the roads, but should it then prove to be seriously injurious to one or the other of the con- testants, a general rate war may follow, with the result of threatening the exist- ence of the Western Passenger Associa- tion, of which both the roads are members. It is charged by the Santa Fe that the changed @niitions bt wolichiamt s the 5th will be the result of the action taken by the Southern Pacific people, and the feeling of the Santa Fe 1epresentative is anything but amiable, particularly as in this first skirmish the Santa Fe will be taken at a disadvantage. According to the story told at the office of the Santa Fe, T. H. Goodman, the gen- eral passenger agent of the Southern Pa- cific Company, made an agreement with J. J. Byrne, the general passenger agent for California of the Santa Fe, to discontinue the sale of “‘elbow” tickets, viz.: tickets to St. Louis and_other points north of New Orleans, via New Orleans, in consideration of the Santa Fe not selling tickets to Omaha, via Kansas City. Each line, how- ever, reserved the right to inaugurate these rates again whenever it saw fit. In order that the full significance of the situation may be comprehended it isneces- sary to state that the trip from San Fran- cisco to St. Lonis via New Orleans over the Southern Pacific Railroad takes consider- ably loneer, owing to its circuitousness, than by some more direct route, such as the Santa Fe, and for this reason the same rate, $47 50, is made by the Southern Pacific Railroad for the journey to St. Louis as is charged to New Orleans. Similarly the passenger traveling from San Francisco toOmaba via Kansas City on the Santa Fe road consumes more time than by the more direct route of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific, hence the Santa Fe makes the rate to Omaha $40, the same as it is to Kansas City. Where the scalper gets in his work is on the respective coupons for the trip be- tween Kansas City and Omaha and between New Orleans and St. Louis. The local rate from Kansas City to Omaha is $690 and between New Orleans and St. Louis it is §1250. These figuresare for second-class ticketsonly, but the Southern Pacific will also offer first-class tickets two days each week on the same basis. As the first-class local rate between New Orleans and St. Louis is §$18, this leaves a good- sized plum to be divided between the scalpers and the passengers. About a week ago Mr. Goodman notified Mr. Byrne that the “‘elbow” tickets would again be placed on sale by the Southern Pacific Company on the 5th of November. To this, as stated by the Santa Fe's representative in this City, Mr. Byrne replied that he would restore the old rate of $40 for second-class tickets and $50 for first class to Omaha, Council Bluffs and Sioux City, and thus the matter stands, the real battle fixed to open on Tuesday next. Speaking of the action of Mr. Goodman, the Santa Fe’s agent in this City said: For harmony’s sake we went out of the busi- ness to Omaha at the time they went out of the business via New Orleans to points north of that city. In this matter, as it now stands, the Southern Pacific has somewhat of an advant- age. 1tis useless to try to conceal the fact that this striving for increased business will be a picnic for the scalpers, while passengers will 8lso reap some benefit. Take the situation over our line. A man who wants to go to Kansas City will buy a ticket to Omaha, and by prearrangement through the scalpers’ agency here he will be able to dispose of his coupon between Kansas City and Omaha, and whatever he gets for it will reduce the cost of his passage. Then the Kansas City scalper sells the coupon, and again the pas- senger between Kansas City and Omaba saves something on his fare. In theke tickets over our route there is but §6 90 to be divided be- tween two scalpers and {wo passengers. while cn the Southern Pacific coupons from New Orleans to St. Louis there isa margin of £12 50. Thus the scalpers here have the greater incen- tive to work in the interest of the Southern Pacific, and virtually become their agents. At the passenger department the situa- tion was somewhat tempered by the ex- planation given. [t was stated that at the present time the Southern Pacitic Railroad issues no tickets to points west of a line drawn_through Cincinnati, Cleveland and New Orieans, via New Orleans, but that, beginning with the inauguration of the Sunset limited trains on the 5th of Novem- ber, and which are to run every Tuesday and Saturday thereafter till further notice, first-class tickets only will be sold for them to St. Louis and the intervening territory, via New Orleans, at the same rate charged to New Orleans. It was further stated that beginning with the first Monday in November a through car to Chicago would be run on that day each week on the Southern Pa- cific Railroad, the Illinois Central hauling the car to Chicago from New Orleans. On this train second-class as well as first- class tickets would be sold to all inter- vening points. Tickets, via New Orleans, to points west of the line drawn through Cincinnfti, Cleveland and New Orleans would not be %01(;1 for any other train than those speci- ed. -In conclusion it was stated that there was very little passenger business ovar the Sunset route to New Orleans, most pas- sengers being bound to points beyond, and that therefore there was little for the scalpers in the proposed new adjustments. TO CHICAGO IN THREE DAYS. High Speed Promised on the Line via Omaha and Ogden to California, The alert passenger agents of the rail- way systems of the United States study the currents of travel on land as a navi- gator studies the currents of the ocean. The tenor of recent observation in the East is to the effect that the tide of travel for the coming winter will set toward Cali- fornia. Already the leading roads are adopting new time schedules providing for an increase of speed in moving trains from Chicago to S8an Francisco. High speed is not the only incentive put forward to get the business. Trains presenting every modern equipment to make the journey agreeable to the tourist are advertised to run twice a week on the southern route, and now comes the news that the Chicago and Northwestern, the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific will enter the field, offering daily train service of the highest class in Hoint of equipment. Some idea of the speed contemplated may be obtained from the dispmcges published in yester- day’s CavLL. An Omaha dispatch says the Chicago and Northwestern proposes to put on a train leaving Chicago at 6:40 o’clock in the even- ing which will arrive at Omaha at 7:40 o’clock next morning. The Union Pacific will put on a fast train leaving Omaha at 8 o’clock in the morning which will reach Ogden and Salt Lake at 2o'clock on the foilowing day. The dispatch does not say whether the train will reach Ogden at 2 o’clock in the morning or 2 o’clock in the afternoon, hut simply says the “following day.” To run the distance from Omaha to Ogden from 8 A. M. to 2 A. M—eighteen hours—a speed ot sixty miles an hour, including stops, would have to be attained, which is hardly pos- sible. It is therefore thought that 2 o’clock of the following day means that hour in the afternoon. This can be done by run- ning thirty-five miles an hour, inciuding stops, which is good time, considering the extent of the mountain divisions. The Central Pacific can make regular passenger time of twenty-six hours be- tween Ogden and San Francisco. So un- der the promised schedule, a passenger leaving Chicago Sunday evening would reach Omaha Monday evening, Ogden Tuesday afternoon and San Francisco Wednesday afternoon—sixty-nine hours, or three hours less than three days. The railway passenger agents were busy yesterday on the arrangement of the new schedule. The Chicago and Northwestern announces that a definite statement will be made to-day. The line promises to meet all competition in speed to the Mis- souri River. D. W. Hitchcock of the Union Pacific says that that road is in first-class condi- tion. The roadbed, the ties and the roll- ing stock equipment are in excellent order. AS for speed, Mr. Hitchcock says that the “fast mail”’ on the Union Pacitic runs sixty miles an hour for much of the dis- tance between Cheyenne and Omaha. J. A. Fillmore, manager of the Pacific division of the Southern Pacific, says that the line from Ogden to San Francisco is in first-class condition and capabie of meet- ing the highest requirements of speed. Within a short time-the new schedule from Ogden to San Francisco will be made known. itis known that the Atchison, Toveka and Santa Fe is making a special effort to get the “‘cream” of the through passenger (TRUSTEE JUDGE STANLY Accused of Concocting a Scheme to Feather His Own Nest. DID HE VIOLATE THE CODE? the Garcelon the Last A Sensation Sprung in Trust Litigation at Moment. At almost the last moment, when the arguments were nearly all in and the case seemed about ready to be submitted to Judge Hawley, one of those sensations that have characterized the litigation over Mrs. Catherine Garcelon’s estate cropped up. Attorney Philbrook had concluded his argument, and Arthur Rodgers was about to begin, when a whispered conversation among the attorneys began and soon re- sulted in the calling of Dr. A.J. Russell, one of the trustees of the Merritt Hospital, to the stand. The attorneys for the plaine tiffs were apparently at a loss to unders stand this move until Mr. Rodgers asked: “Is it a fact that the trusteesof the Merritt Hospital passed a resolution granting certain compensation to Judge Stanly out of the hospital funds to be de- rived from the estate of Mrs. Garcelon?” Attorney Hayne was on his feet in anine stant and objected on the usual grounds— that the matter was irrelevant and immas terial and had no bearing on the case. “Phis thing is started,” he said, “to blacken the character of a witness in thia case—Judge Stanly—and should not be allowed to get into the record.” ‘‘It is intended to show,” said Mr. Rodge ers, “that Mr. Stanly had concocted a scheme to saddle himself for his lifetime business by running superb trains at a high rate of speed, but the great central route via Omaha and Ogden proposes to compete for the business at every point east of the Missouri River and north of Kansas City. The. competition promises to bring many tourists to California. SAVED BY THE FENDER. A Boy Knocked Down by a Mission- Street Electric Car. Theodore Green, 7 years of age, living with his parents at 639 Stevenson street, had a miraculous escape from being crushed to death under a Mission-street electric car about 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. He was crossing Mission street at Seventh as a car was approaching at a rapid speed from the west. He thought he could cross the track before the car reached him, but he was not quick enough and the car knocked him down. He was dragged along by the fender for some yards until the motorman stopped the car. The passengers on the dummy jumped off and expected to find the mangled body of the boy under the car. He was pulled | out covered with dust, and strange to say, he was more frightened than hurt. fender had for once saved a life. —_————— Struck With an Iron Bar. B.

Hot words passed between Wall and Caminetti and Wall jumped out of his wagon and struck him | with an iron bar. Yesterday Caminetti swore out a warrant in Judge Joachimsen’s court for Wall'sarrest on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. —————— ALL doctors don’t prescribe the same medi- cine; all good doctors recommend Jaros hygi- enic underwear.

In a recent dispatch from Los Angeles it was stated that C. P.

When the dispatch was shown Mr. Huntington he denied itand said there was not a particle of truth in it.

Although he was one of the two trustees, Dr. Russeil betrayed ignorance of the man- ner in which the records had been kept. To questions as to what had become of the resolution, who kept the minutes, who wrote them, where they were, whether the resolution was spread on the minutes, who drew it up and other interrogations he answered in each instance that he did not know. Requests that the trustees be ordered to produce the records of ihe trustees in conrt and that Dr. Russell be instructed to tell the contents of the document under con- sideration were denied by Judge Hawley, Then it was announced by Attorney Hayne that he woula have to place Judge Stanly on the stand to defend himself against the insinuations of counsel. Mr. Rodgers also asked Dr. Russell to be on hand te-day to give further evidence and the attorney began his argument. It is said that other witunesses will also be heard. Just what they are expected to prove is not known, but interesting de- velopments are anticipated. e ‘'We | Want to ‘Tell You IWe Sell Croekery And Nell It Awful Cheap. Crystal Glass Table Tumblers.
