Z8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 189Y5. SEREsG e e et D e DR R e i s i e s SR L s bt e L SOS IADT Ol s s Lo e g R e e GUN PLANT AT BENICIA Congressman Hilborn to Intro- duce a Bill for Its Estab- lishment. TO IMPROVE WATER CHANNELS. The Government Will Be Requested to Make Some Liberal Ap- propriations. It is evident that Congressman Samuel G. Hilborn, who left for Washington on the evening of the 1st inst. in order to be present at the fifty-fourth session of Con- gress which convenes in December, hds armed himself with a fund of information sufficient to erable him to deal intelli- gently with measures which concern his constituents. In & recent conversation Congressman Hilborn reviewed many important ques- tions, involving not only the interests of the Pacific Coast to which he is naturally partial, but questions which concern and demand the attention of the entire Nation. “The recent examination as to the con- dition of the navigable waters tributary to the bay of San Francisco by the Congres- sional delegation of California must event- ually be productive of good results,” said Congressman Hilborn, “and in no event will there be a disagreement among the members of the delegation as to what should best be done for their improvement. “In any event good water channels through the rich and fertile San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys could not fail to regulate the rates of transportation, and the Congressional delegation will certainly receive my earnest support in 1ts endeavor to secure an appropriation for their im- provement. “It goes without saying that the pro- posed improvement of Oakland Harbor should be speedily completed, as the mer- chants of that city have already experi- enced a decided increase of business owing to the meager improvements which have lately been completed by the Govern- ment. “‘S8mall vessels are at the present time able to reach the harbor of Oakland, and consequently the merchants doing busi- ness near the water front have a great ad- vantage over those who are compelled to rely on the railroads for their supplies, and tle result is that the merchants who are so handicapped will no longer tolerate an unreasonable delay in the completion of this important work. “With & water channel wide and deep enough to permit foreign ocean-going ves- sels to dock, Oakland will soon be able to demonstrate that she is on the right side of the bay. “The tidal canal draining the waters of fan Leandro Bay into the Bay of San Francisco through the channel is also an immediate necessity, and it is part of the Government’s engineering scheme at the present time to dredge such a canal and keep it clear after it is completed. “The completion of this proposed tidal canal is absolutely essential as a_ sanitary measure, as in its present condition the stagnant waters of the sloughs, which would be drained if this channel were in existence, are a menace to the health of two cities. “Sacramento has lately obtained power for manufacturing purposes from the Fol- som Falls, which is conducted over a series of electric wires. This gives Sacramento a wonderful advantsge, but surely Oakland enterprise will find some reservoir of power either in the Sierra Nevadas or the Coast Range, which, taken in connection with its superior climate and location, will surely tempt manufacturers to locate in that city. “Our Congressional party visited Alviso Channel and also examined the Stockton Blough, and I think that the unanimous opinion of that party was that both of those waterways should be improved. “‘Stockton illustrates the advantages that a city possesses by reason of having an in- dependent water communication. We found a busy, prosperous city and the sec- ond manufacturing city in the State. “‘Three new lines of railroad are now in course of construction, all terminating at Stockton; and does any one for a moment Congressman Hilborn. suppose that that city could have all her present prosperity but for the fact that she has a good, navigablt waterway, which makes her practically independent? ‘‘Petaluma and Stockton throughout all the years have persisted in making use of the advantages which nature gave them, and have kept their waterways clear for navigation. “If the Government failed to make an appropristion for the improvement of their rivers the citizens of those cities im- proved them themselves, and used their own means for the purpose. This has given them the advantage of cheap trans- portation, and, in consequence, Eozh of those cities have been conspicuously pros- perous, well illustrating the wisdom of preserving the natural waterways of the tate. “There are also other improvements which should immediately be made, as, for instance, Commission Rock, in the channel between Mare Islana and Vallejo, which should be removed, and also a number of rocks in the Bay of San Fran- cisco, which are a menace to navigation. ““With a treasury made empty by a Dem- ocratic administration,” continued Con- gressman Hilborn, warming up with his subject, “‘the task of getting an appropria- tion for rivers and harbors is a very diffi- cult one. “With an empty treasury, with the balance of trade against us and driven to the necessity of borrowing money to pay the running expenses of the Government, many needed improvements will possibly be delayed. “One of the most important matters which will engage my attention when I am in Washington is to secure an appro- riation for a public building in Oakland. Bnklnnd is the thira city in size in the State, and it is a deplorable fact that this matter has not received attention before, as the .necessity for such a building has been manifest for several years. The Oak- land Postoffice is a very important one and the rents paid for the accommodation by the postal authorities would go far toward paying interesi on an appropria- tion for a public building, and considering these facts it would be the highest kind of economy for the Government to erect a building in which to transact its business in Oskland, This is only the business side of the proposition, as there is alsoa sentimental side of the question involved. “There are 124 cities in the United States with a population of 25,000 and upward. Oakland stands sixtieth in the list. Almost every city in the United States with a opulation no greater than that of Oakland Eas a public building, and more than half of the cities on the %ist with a population less than Oakland, down to and including cities of 25,000 inhabitants, have public buildings. “It is galling to the pride of the people of that beautiful city to think that they are thus neglected, and I shall make an honest effort to_secure an appropriation for a Postoffice in Oakland. “An additional drvdock at Mare Island is also an immediate necessity. There is now only one dock on the coast, and all of the war vessels of the Pacific squadron out of necessity go there for repairs, and within the last year seven ships have been there atone time waiting their turn to go on the dock when their services were needed elsewhere. . “‘If this could ®ccur in time of peace, what would be the result in time of war, when our vessels would be liable to be dis- abled and, through this lack of repairing facilitics, be required to wait, perhqus, for months for needed repairs? And have no doubt but that an additional dock will be built at the navy-yard. ““Another great need of the Government isa gun plant on this coast—that is, a plant in which the immense cannon to be used for the defense of the coast could be assembled. “The system of defenses which has lately been adopted for the Pacific Coast harbors demands several hundred very large guns. The problem of sending them across the continent isa serious, danger- MANY CELEBRITIES AID. The Festival Concerts Likely to Prove a Brilliant Success. SOME OF THOSE NOW BILLED, Joseph Hirschbach Selected to Lead in the Place of the Late J. H. Rosewald. If 8an Francisco could have a reproduc- tion, by means of a phonograph, of the daily conversations held in the rooms ‘of the managers of the festival con- |certs it would be surprised as well | as delighted to find the number of | celebrities contained within its narrow | limits. From the earhiest possible mo- ment that admittance is granted till the | night's kindly shadows give the manage- | ment an opportunity to escape by the back | door a steady stream of applicants come to | tell how they have sung, recited and what not before the heads of Europe, crowned - HAY MISS J. [From a photograph.] R. A 2 ! SISTERMANS. ous and expensive one, and much money gould be saved if they were constructed ere. ““All of these guns for the coast defense of the United States are made at one fac- tory at Troy, N. Y. Itiscomputed that it would take twenty-two years for that es- tablishment to turn out the guns neces- sary for the defense of the coast and har- bors of the United States which have already been determined upon. *“This is too long to wait. Other manu- factories must of necessity be established, and, as ordinary business sense dictates, one should be established on the Pacific Coast. “Benicia is the most favored spot for the location of the Pacific gun plant. The Government owns a desirable site there, which is immediately adjacent to the Straits of Carquinez, and the fact that a | railroad passes this proposed site, taken in connection with its admirable climate and its close proximity to San Francisco, which is the great reservoir of labor in this State, makeit indeed an admirable location for the establishment of a gun plant. *‘The establishment of such a planton | the coast should be and. I have no doubt, will be favored bg the Union Iron Works and similar ertablishments, as they will have an opportunity to furnish the rough guted tubes for the Government to assem- le. “I shall introduce a bill for the estab- lishment of such a plant at Benicia and shall earnestly urge its passage, “‘Regarding one more point of interest to my constituents,” said the Congress- man, “and I will conclude my conversa- | tion. “That voint is in regard to the Alaska boundary dispute. Although I have not looked into all points involved in the | Alaska boundary dispute, it is evident, however, that England acquiesced to the present boundary during the past years that Russia exercised power over that country and only asserts this claim when it passes under the protection of the American flag. *This state of affairs indicates that Eng- land realizes that Russia has a more vigor- ous foreign policy than the United Btates. “This is nothing new, however. Eng- land’s actions were the same in regard to the seal fisheries. English sealers kept discreetly away from Alaskan waters while they were guarded by the Russian bear, and only ventured in when they passed under | American control, and not then until a Democratic administration was in power.”’ LOST HIS RIGHT EYE. Medical Instructor Kylberg Meets With an Unfortunate Acci- deut. Dr. H. Kylberg, the assistant instructor in anstomy at the California Medical Col- lege, met with a singular mishap last ‘Wednesday, which has resulted in his los- ing hisright eye. In attempting to de- posit on a shelf above him a box filled with scraps of nails and screws, the edge caught in an overhanging curtain, and the doctor lost his hold on the object. The box was lidless, and in falling'it turned half over, precipitating the contents into his upturned face. The sharp point of one of the screws struck the eye, penetrating the cornea and lens. Inflammation immediately gathered in the injured organ, and in order to prevent further complications it was found neces- sary to extract it. Dr. Cornwall, assisted by Drs. French and Logan, performed the operation. _Dr. Kylberg has his right-eye socket tightly bandaged, and at present cannot use his remaining eye for fear of straining itin its greaent sympathetic state. His optical adviser is uncertain whether or not Dr. Kylberg will have to discontinue his work at the medical college. AR Beans and Embezzlement. D. G, Antonovich, a commission merchant lo- cated at 407 Washington street, was arrested yesterday on a charge of embezzlement and released on $1000 bail. Rebecca Thisby, the complaining witness, ciaims to have shipped the defendant a quantity of beans, ‘which: he #0ld, but for which he neglected to make res turns to her, = | and uncrowned, each and every one pos- | sessed with the idea that without their aid | the entire affair will lose its brilliancy. The -patient postman, too, has his ‘place, and were it not that his frienaship was as- | sured at the outset he would have wearied of stopping with his bundle of letters eight and ten times a day. | _The managementis gratified to announce that the large chorus is about completed. H. B. Pasmore offers a_chorus of fifty select voices. Theodore Vogt brings 150 voices from Alameda. Petaluma brings a chorus of thirty under the direction of E. L. Lippitt. Miss Anne Tully and Miss Gertrude Elliott are actively interested in the Stockton chorus. Sacramento pro- posed to send not less than 100 voices, but there . was discovered there about twice that number of directors, and as one could not be selected without bloodshed a select chorus of soloists numbering twenty will come from there, among whom may be mentioned Miss Lida Clinch and Mr. Richard Cohn. An ensemble of nine voices of excep- tionally fine quality will do the trio parts in the chorus, *'The Heavens Are Telling.” They are Miss Josephine Sistermans, Mrs. | Frank H. McCormack of Alameda, Mrs. A. A. Dewing of Oakland, Mr. Willis Bacheller, Frank Coffin, C. H. Philpot, Walter C. Campbell, J. M. Robinson and S. Homer Henley. The generous and disinterested efforts of | the directors are much appreciated by the lady managers. In nJ‘J;tinn to the regular rehearsals held in Oakland and San Francisco James Hamilton Howe is drilling a large cborus on Friday evenings and also a class of 200 of the High School students on Friday afternoons. | The management feels deeply the loss of | J. H. Rosewald, who had been selected as orchestral director. They had considered themselves fortunate in securing the ser- | vices of a musician of such high culture | and one so thoruufhly mn fiympnthy with | the cause. Mr. Joseph Hirschbach has | been selected in place of Mr. Rosewald. ’ Mr. Hirschbach graduated from the Leip- | iic 1Couservltm'y and came to America in | 1881, | First position as musical director with | the Clara Louise Kellogg English Opera Comguny, afterward for six seasons with | the ©.D. Hess English Opera Company. Then opened a musical agency in New York representing such artists as Mme. | Albani, Lilli Lehman, Edward Lloyd, Maud Powell, Ravelli, etc., etc. Organized a grand opera company with Mme. Albani | as star through Canada, and aiterward | organized the tilli Lebman Grand German Opera Company, as manager and musical director. ’lphen came west to San Fran- cisco, where subsequently he was engaged as musical director at the Tivoli. Among singers_from Vallejo who are prominent are: J. R. English, Mrs. Mec- Manus-Herbert, Miss Anna Kane, Mr. H. E. Wilder, Mrs. Dr. Carpenter and others. A special attraction on the %{o— gramme will be a_ duo by r. E. J. Stark and Miss Daisy Cobn. Mr, Stark is cantor of the Teniple Emanu-El of this City. Was born in Austria and came to this country when but a mere boy. At an early age he showed an ardent love for music. Hfis instrumental and vocal educa- tion he received from some of the most prominent teachers in Europe. Havin, completed his vocal education he returne: to America, and upon the wish of his parents devoted himself to the profession of cantor. He accepted the cantor position in oue of the first congre ‘ations of Brook- lyn, N. Y. His compositions as well as his vocal capacities gained him a prominent reputation throughout the Kast, and a call from the Temple Emanu-El of this City induced him to accept this lucrative posi- tion. His vocal powers are phenomenal. His barytone vom is manly, rich and sonorous, and his style of singing makes him master of this greatart and places him in the ranks of the most prominent musicians and singers of this country. Miss Daisy Coun, a native of this City, is the possessor of aremarkably powerful, still sweet and bird-like soprano voice. She commands a register of over two octaves, besides being gifted with natural musical talent to & high degree. She now holds the {;oshion as soloistin the Temgle Emanu-El, and on various occasions has istinguished herself by her artistic ren- !d,m°“3- Her tone productions, enuncia- tion and flexibility. show the careful train- ing which this young lady has received from ber teacher, Mr. Stark, with whom she has been studying for the past two years. CALLED A SCOUNDREL. An Exciting Pussage at Tongues Be- tween Judge Hayne and Attor- ney Philbrook. i There was a lively and interesting epi- sode enacted in the United States Circuit Court this morning as a prelude to the Garcelon will case. It was a most spirited encounter, the weapons, however, con- fined to words, between Judge Hayne, counsel for plaintiff, and Attorney Phil- brook of the defense. During the argument of the case two days ago Philbrook referred slightingly to Judge Stanly, one of the principal wit- nesses for the plaintiff, and gudge Hayne retaliated by declaring it would be a proud moment for Philbrook when he enjoyed the enviable record of Judge Stanly. Both gentlemen appeared in the court- room yesterday morning shortly .before the case was called, and the gentlémen re- newed the interchange of incivilities, which finally led to Philbrook being de- nounced as a scoundrel. Philbrook replied in kind and a physical encounter was im- minent, but was “averted by the interfer- ence of Deputy Marshal Gre Judge Hayne completed argument, and by consent Attorneys Rodgers and Campbell were allowed to supplement the revious areuments on the part of the de- ense, and the case was submitted, Judge Hawley taking it under advisement. noon there was a renewal of hostilities in the corridor, but Philbrook was in no mood for a pugilistic encounter. And thus the warcloud passed. iatinitnld 275 PO SATURDAY'S SENTENCES, Vincenzo de Palmi Sentenced to Fifty Years for Murder. Vincenzo de Palmi, convicted of murder in Judge Bahrs' court for the killing of Eugene de Leva, was sentenced to fifty years’ imprisonment in Folsom prison yes- terday. The two men were window clean- ers and had a row over some money m ters arising out of their business. Palmi’s defense was that Leva had threatened to kill him and that he fired in self-defense. The prisoner asked to be sent to San Quen- tin, but the court did not accede to the re- quest. Hugh Riley was sentenced to nineteen vears' imprisonment by Judge Belcher yesterday for manslaughter. Riley killed a woman named Annie McCann who lived on a hog ranch near the county line. ——————— Where Is T. B. Forsyth? Chief Crowley received a letter yesterday from J. T. Forsyth, Sumner, Wash., stating his father, T. B. Forsyth, had left for this City by the steamer City of Puebla on August 31. Nothing had been heard of him since, and his family are afraia that some accident has hap- peue(‘{him. He is 5 feet 73{ inches tall, heavy set, gray hair, closely cropped gray beard and mustache, blue eyes and Roman nose. After the adjournment of the court at| | | CONDUCTORS ARE SCARCE Passengers on the Bobtails Col- lect Their Own Fares. MONTGOMERY STREET OBJECTS A Petition Has Been Started Asking the Company to Do Some of the Work. “‘All aboard ?” inquires the driver on the bobtail cars on Montgomery street and then he cracks the lame horse into a dog trot. That is all he has to do. The passenger does the rest, even to getting out his nickel, dropping it in the little box pre- pared for that purpose and returning to his seat again. There is a noticeable absence of con- ductors to give misinformation and the to compel the road to build a brand-new line here I will sign that too.” Few people are aware of the fact, but some months ago a decision was rendered in a Buperior Court to the effect that it was not obligatory upon the passenger to pay fare unless the company provided some one to collect it. 1f the passengers and{eopla who find it necessary to use the Montgomery-street line will camp in their seats until the driver comes in and takes up the fare it will very soon break up the bobtall fad which has recently taken possession of Mr. Vining. If the driver is compelled to stop his horse and take up fare every time a pas- senger gets on board he will have his hands full and will find very little time to | make many trips. As each trip means a good deal of pinmoney to the company they would very soon make arrangements that would not impede the progress of the cars. The argument will be seen at once to be of some worth. Try it, gentlemen, try it. By the old system there were several conductors employed, but at present these | men are out of work, and the company is | nupin&the reward of its smaliness by compelling the driver to watch the pas- | sengers and see that they put up their little fare and do it gracefully. Many merchants say that while business | hours ‘are on, Montgomery street is the | most active in the City, and that the peo- | Ele doing business along it ought to haye | etter streetcar service. This opinion is general, and it is likely that if something | is not done soon there will be more | stores for rent in that section than there | person who is compelled to ride on the | are at the present time. | line has to do his work. This condition of affairs has caused the people along Montgomery street to revolt, and yesterday a petition was started late in the afternoon which contained a re- quest that the Market-street Railway Com- pany put conductorsin to perform the du- ties that are now demanded of the public. Following is the petition : We, the undersigned, doing business along Montgomery street, do_ hereby petition the Market-street Railway Company to supply us with cars containing cenductors who wiil per- form the duty of collecting fares—a function now performed by the public: F. J. Smalley, C. A. Fisher, A. H. Grimm, A. Davis, Al O. Gender, Cbarles' Newman, B. H, Neville, Olo? Blomquist, The Pearson-Swenarton ‘0., by E. T. Swenarton; R. C. Atkins & Sons, R.

In interviews held with many of the business men along the street the fact was brought out that the bobtail cars are the greatest inconvenience to the passengers | tion, has not been very graciously received and ought to be relegated to the boneyard of the company. Ladies who get on board are compelled to stagger to the box, put their fare in and return to their seats with the possibility of being jostled around the car. ‘‘Anything,” said one merchant, ‘‘to get better service on this street. It 1s simply | vile. The two-horse cars were bad enough, but these bobtail affairs are the acme of worthlessness. Just let me sign that peti- tion and if you can get one in circulation 0 DEFEND THE EDITORS, Stidents of the University to Hold an Indignation Meeting. [ { Why the Faculty Upheld Lieutenant Winn and His Uniform Contract. The suspension of two of the editors of the college publication called the “Josh,” for printing articles reflectlng upon Lieutenant Winn, the head of the Military Department, by the faculty of the institu- by the students. They arein an indignant and unlovely frame of mind and they pro- pose to immediately appeal from the de- cision. A general meeting of the student body is_being talked of among the leaders, to take official notice of the affair and to there and then formulate some plan of making their decision effective. Just what is 10 be proposed is not yet known, but that they intend to stand by Editors Steele and Robbins, the two who are under sen- | tended to set a bad precedent. A | of them might be the next on the list. tence of suspension, is certain. They feel that the criticisms in the ‘Josh” on Lieutenant Winn were just, and that his action, as the head of the Military Depart~ ment, in making an exclusive contract with & certain firm of tailors, whereby sll the suits were to be purchased from it at an exorbitant price, was deserving of cen- sure. ording to that contract all the st:dcgnts wgre comipelled to buy their uni- forms of this particular firm and at a cer- tain fixed price. In vain did they protest that they could obtain the same sort of a uniform from another firm at 25 per cent reduction. Lieutenant Winn was obdure ate. With military 1mpatience that any one should presume to question his com- mands he ordered the rebellious soldiers from his presence with the hint that any one disobeying would be expelled from the university. The decision of the faculty in suspends 1ng the editors was an unpleasant surprise to the students. They had not even dreamed that there was a Eossimhty of such a result. They thought that the proof against Winn was of such an open and positive nature that the mvesugnhnfi committee could not consistently uphol him. The most that the students ex- pected was that the editors would be let off with a firm reproof coupled with the warning injunction not do it again. When they learned of that attitude of the faculty they were astonished. In defense of their verdict, however, the faculty assert thatone of their membe; had heen made the subject of criticism, whether justly or unjustly did not concern them. To permit the students to make re- marks about them without any restraint Any one Be- sides itruffled their dignity to be made pub- lic targets for the indiscriminate thrusts of the witty editors. That they claim is why they decided to take summary actiom against the “Josh.” The propriety of Lieu« tenant Winn in making Eis ironclad cone tract did not enter into the case at all they affirm. “Josh” will appear as usual, however. SMUGGLED COAL. The Hearing of the Swanhilda Case Be¢ gun Before Commissioner Heacock. United States Commissioner Heacock was engaged yesterday morning in heare ing the case against Captain Colin Frases and Officers Maikle and Powers of the ship Swanhilda, who are charged with bein; parties to the landing of 5000 pounds of coal from their vessel without the duty baving been paid on the same. Chief Weigher Rhodes of the customs service and a driver of the Oregon Improvemens Company named Gavigan were the only witnesses _examined, when the case wen# over to Wednesday in order that the drivers of the carts which conveyed away the illicit coal might be found “and give their lestimong. Rhodes testified that the coal in question was not weighed as required by the cuse toms regulations, and Gavigan testified that he saw the carts being drawn away without having been weighed, and so informed Rhodes.
