THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1895. HOM ALL QUMRTERS, An Active Meeting of the Committee on Pro- motion. IT IS ASTATE MOVEMENT. | Scipio Craig and Others Pledge Their Districts to Aid. A VOICE FROM THE NORTHWEST. Los Angeles Has Sent Her Collectors Into the Field With Good Results. All but four of the committee of promo- tion, consisting of 100, appointed by Chair- man Williams from all over the State for the purpose of assisting in the matter of bringing the next Republican Convention to San Francisco, assembled at the Cham- ber of Commerce yesterday. Those who were unable to attend sent written ac- knowledgements of the receipt of their ap- pointments and promised to do all in their power to further the ends of the committee, Senator Williams, who has been such a capa meeting, called the e presiding officer of the general a embly to order with a brief speech, setting forth the factthat he had been instructed to make the pointments by a former meeting of citi- zens held some exght or ten days ago with a view 1o starting the work of securing the convention. “In making these appointments,” said the Senator, “I have tried to select the best citizens of the State of California, and I think I have sueceeded. We are here to make some definite move in this matter and we cannot do better than to proceed to business at once. I will be pleased to receive a motion to elect a chairman,a second and third vice-chairmen, a v and an as nt secretary. dge Cooney at once placed Colonel A. astle ip nomination for the office of there being no other nom- Mr. Castle took the chair, and without g time announced that the next thing in order was the election of a first vice- nan. A. B. Lemmon was the choice the committee and he was declared 1 thi: letter from Mayor Rader,’ said on, “in which that gentleman the desire of the peovle of Los hat Editor H. Z.

Osborn will no doubt be ion to the list of staunch make the fight on the other e con nt. yor Hubbard of Oakland, who 00 miles from ou to attend the meeting, was elected third vice-chair- 1n, and Colonel Currier and Oscar Tolle elected as secretary and as respectively. Colonel we secretary ey refused t s were all Senator Williams then requested that Scipio Craig, the warhorse of the Red- graph, address the meeting and an idea of how the southern part of the State stood on the matter of the convention. Mr. Craig said, “I have come just 600 miles to be at this meetingand if I did not think it was worth the trip I would not have done so. Two vears ago I recognized the fact that San Francisco was the most logical point in the West for holding the next Republican convention. I began to write to the editors in the southern part of the State and I guess T know about all of them. I wanted to get an expression of opinion on the matter and I found that they were most all with me. 1 found also that since then things have so shaped themselves that we have got something more than a fighting chance to win. We looked to San Fran- cisco to take the initial step, and it was made here, I am delighted to say. What you need now is money and no one recog- nizes it more than do the people of the sout You all krow what I mean when I =ay South California, but that term is is only used.in matters referring to the State alone. s this movement is for the whole Pacific Coast I wiil say Califor- nia, and with me that meansa good deal. We of the entire State recognize the fact thac if the convention comes here it means a great deal to every man in it. If it does not come to this coast we will get a great deal of credit for making suct: a came fight forit. I believe we can get both the Republican and Democratic con- ventions if we go at it right, but we have ot to get the large Fastern papers on our side. We need money also, but the East- ern press has got to be handled in some way or other for us to get their support. he resuits of the meetings so far held have been telegraphed all over the country 1d it has done the State a great deal of d. It has made a political impression You can rest assnred that Redlands will do her sare and a little more. We know it will p us, and the southern part of the State is with you on this proposition. Let your committee demand and they shail receive whatever they think we ought to put up. It takes money, 2nd Redlands will stand in. We are for California first, last and all the time,” Mr. statement of the condition of affairs in Redlands wus received with a round of applause, and afier the multi- tude was subdued Judge Cooney intro- duced the following resolution: WiEREAS, The people of the entire State of California are directly interested in having Republican National Convention held in City of 8an Francisco in 1896; it is now Resolved, That each county in the State be constituted a convention district for the active promotion of the work, such district to be supervision of a member of this ,one for each district, to be ap- the chairman, such supervisor to 10 select some prominent resident °L 10 assist in the organization and 0% of the movement, such committees cxecutive committee of this N over to the general finance subscriptions which may be g and we have made o good start. promoti 10 report to body and to commitie, secured, © “I! Resolved, That an executive committee of ght was thought of. | declared elected by ac- | seven be appointed by the chair from this body to whom all reports shall be made by the several committees here appointed, such exec- utive committee to co-operate with the exee- utive and finance committees heretofore ap- pointed in general meeting. Senator Williams added an amendment that was accepted to the effect that the committee be empowered to appoint rep- resentatives in counties not now on the committee. Wendell Easton thought something ought to go out to the National Committee- men in all the States west of the Missouri River and introiuced the following resolu- tions bearing on that matter: Resolved, That whereas a strong probabiiity exists that the National conventions, both Re- publican and Democratic, which are to be held in 1896, may be secured for the Pacific Coast; and WHEREAS, as a result of a united press throughout the State, and with one voice it is accepted as a fact that the holding of efther or both of these National conventions in the State of Celifornia will be a benefit to the entire State, Resolved, That this committee of promotion invites the fullest co-operation of every indi- vidual on the entire Western slope in the great work of bringing to this coast the representa- tives of the Nation, the leaders of our National affairs, that they may become closer in touch with the naturel interests of the Pacific Slope. Resolved, That we invite all the National committeemen west of the Rocky Mountains, through themselves or their friends, to place themselves in communication with this com- mittee, pledging us their supportand as ance that the National convs 1896 shall be held on the Pacific Coast. This resolution was adopted, and will doubtless have a good effect upon the Western members of the National Com- mittee. Senator Williams was of the impression that before going further the committee on promotion should decide what number should constitute a quorum for meeting purposes. Fifteen was decided upon, snd the Senator then read a letter from Seu- ator F. G. Voorhes of Sutter Creek. Sen- ator Voorhes said he thought all the com- mitteemen appointed should subscribe $25 to the fund, and, in order to show his good faith, he inclosed a check for that amount. It was decided to add the executive com- mittee and the finance committee to the committee on promotion. This was done 50 that the two former committees would be in constant touch with the latter com- mittee on all matters relating to the prime issue. Wendell Easton was called upon by Senator Williams toaddress the committee and his remarks were logical and well framed. He went over the history of the movement, a: great many of the mem- bers from outside distr: were not alto- gether familiar with “This is the most important step ifornia has ever taken.’’ said the chairman of the exe: tive committee, “and we need your assist- ance in everything we do. ‘I am ready to assure you that we will have no difliculty in raising the $100,000 and perhaps more if necessary. The press isat our back and that alone is a mighty strength. Ido not various reasons. talk too m at liberty to say that we have received of fers of assistance from National Commit- teemen whose names have not vet ap- peared among our list of champions. Our | trip to the Eastern States will be no junk- eting tour, and the dignity of the State and the cause will be kept uppermost in all our dealings with the National Commit- teemen. We are sincere and we mean business.”” Other gentlemen present made stirring short speeches, and it was considered a wise thing to add T. B. Morton, a colored man, to the committee, as that gentleman has been working with untiring energy among his people. At the suggestion of Judge Cooney the chair was allowed forty-eight hours to ap- point the committeemen named in his 1t is not a good policy to soon as possible in the interior towns. Mr. McGlynn thourht the gunsof the | Eastern press could be spiked if the Press { Club should appoint a committee to go East with the delegates to Washington and remind the editors along the way that California had once been courteous to them when the National Press clubs visited this ing the coast and San Francisco's conven- tion vlans. 8. M. Rucker of San Jose pledged that city and Santa Clara County to support the movement, and said that she wouid do her share toward swelling the fund and getting the convention. Dr. Thomas Flint of San Juan said he was willing to agree that the people of his district would do anything reasonable that was asked of them, and that they were all in the movement to win. At the request of Senator Williams Wen- dell Easton made the following statement regarding the disposition of the funds to be collected by the appointed representa- tives of the committee on finance: “We propose to get all the funds together | possible, and we will only spend what is { actually required. In every transaction we bave a proper accounting will be ren- dered, and I think you will be surprised to learn that we can send the committee to Washineton for the remarkably low sum of $5000.. We are aware that the National Commirttee has 2 $40,000 deficit that must be paid off. Washington will pay their own expenses, minor expenses of operation while we are there, and as it will be necessary to appear to the best possible advantage we wiil have to spend some mon “There is the building to be put up at Central Park which will have to be prop. {erly fittea to receive the delegates.

M. Folk, Gazelle; George Wetzel, P. M. at Montague; Fred Wads- worth of the Bank of Yreka. Lieutenant-Governor Jeter of Santa Cruz was also added to the list, and the commit- tee adjourned to meet again at the call ot the chairman. —_———— FOR THE BIG CONVENTION. The Republican County Committce In- dorses the Plan for Holding It Here. The Republican County Committee put itself on_record last evening with an en- thusiastic indorsement of the efforts now being made to have the Republican Na- care to discuss too many details to-day for | ch in open meeting, but Lam | resolution so that work couid be begun as | coast, and ‘that they shoulid be a little more | mellow in their editorial opinions regard- | A number of those who go to | but it will require some money to meet the | There will be excursions all | California with railroad trips so that the | bara offers to entertain all the people who | for that purpose and & proper ac- | sure that the proper accounting will be | tional Convention convene in this City. The meeting was held in Shiels build- ing, a large number of prominent Repub- licans being present. C. W. Manwaring presided. After P. H. Prendergast, C. C. Morris and James L. Watt had made stirring speeches on the vast benefits to be derived by the State and the Republican party through the holding of the convention in this City, a set of resolutions setting forth the value of the convention to California and calling uponail loyal Republicans to do all in their power so assist inthe pro- ject was adopted by acclamation. The matter of forming clubs in the | various Assembly districts was then taken up and a committee consisting of C.C. Morris, P. H. Prendergast, J. H. Thomp- son, James A.Watt and J. Jackson was appointed to draft a plan for their organi- zation. During the course of the discus- sion it was brought out that clubs had al- ready been formed in a number of districts. It was voted as the sense of the meeting that the county committee would not recognize these clubs as official, but that when the proper time arrived regular clubs would be formed under the ausvices of the committee and given full authorization to organize the voters for the coming cam- paign. At the proper time the plans of the com- “ mittee will be given full publicity and a call issued to all Republican voters to rally to the support of the party. It was decided to appoint a committee to co-operate with those now engaged in the | work of raising funds for the convention. The committee will be appointed by Chair- man Mainwaring and the names will be made public within a few days. e SENATOR SQUIKE SCINTILATES. He Reasons Well for the City of San Fran- c1aco and California. SEATTLE, Wasn.,, Nov. 14.—Senator Squire, in speaking of the convention bcom now on in San Francisco and the Pacific Coast generally, said Jast night to a CaLL correspondent: The place for holding the next Republican National Convention isSan Francisco certain- 1y. Let it be held in that great City by all mesrns. This is due to Republicans on the Pa- cific Const. We have always cheerfully gone East to attend National conventions. Indeed Pacific Coast Republicans were entitled to this reciprocity long ago, but their hopes have been doomed to disappointment for various | reasons. But now I know of no reason what- ever against holding the cenvention in San Francisco and I believe we are on the eve of vietory. I advocated San Francisco all last summer, beginning with an interview in the New York Trib People in San Francisco are enterprising, generous and liberal. They will afford ever the convention. The City has ample hotel ac- | commodations and, in fact, she has the best hotels in the world. The trip would be & nov- elty to Eastern delegates and special rates can | be secured, making the journey comparatively | 1nexpensive, and it will do the whole country to have the continent traversed by the class of men who usually attend National conven- tions. Use can be made of the various raiiroad routes and delegates may come one way with | the privilege of returning by another. This will enable many to visit the State of | Washington and personally learn of its im- mense resources. A great many public men who are weil read and who have even visited Euarope are strangely ignorant about the west- ern part of thefr own country, having never come this side of tne Mississippi River. They will learn much of the intervening country by merely passing through it and they will be delighted with the climate and procuctions of the Pacific Coast. Isee nothing In the objec- tions that have been put forward as to tele- graphic facilities, for I am suie they are ample, | and besides the great newspapers of this coun- try care but little for expense when it comes to & question of procuring important news. While I think there is a fair chance of all Pacific Coast States going Republican, yet there can be no more certain way to insure this result than by bolding a conventiou in | the metropolis of the Pacific. The effect would i be thrilling all along the line of travel coming | and returning. 1 think the plan would be pleasing to the Middle, Western and Southern States, and could meet with no valid objection | from the East. In fact, I learn that Maine, the most Eastern State, has come out strongly for San Francisco. I see no object in going East to Pittsburg, whose State has gone Republican by over 150,000 majority. It would be like carrying cozls to Newcastle. As for Chicago, while it has great merits as a convention eit vel it has been “done’” to death, and ean make no just demand, and the people may relish a change. It is time the spell was broken, and people should open their eves to the Pacific Coast, which William H. Seward nearly fifty years ago said was destined to become the theater of man’s greatest and most brilliant achievements. In fact, there is a great pres- tige attached to moving so important a body westward, as westward the star of empire takes its way. Congressman 8. C. Hyde of Spokane ar- rived in this city to-night and added his | voice to those proclaiming the merits of San Francisco as a place to hold the Na- tional Republican Convention. He said: Ifavor San Francisco. It will do the people of the East good to cross this continent and see how big the United States is. Itshould result in good for the West, because it wiil acquaint them with the needs of this section of the country, chiefly mining and commerce on the Pacific Coast. It will enable the people to readily bring before the convention the im- portance of having our money metals, both gold and silver, recognized in the coinage laws of the country and bring home the needs of coast defenses. We have never had a conven- tion on the Pacific Coast and this will bea winner; but, for that matter, the Republicans will win no matter where the convention 1s held. S S LOS ANGELES SUBSCRIPTION. The Collector Doing Some Ewxcellent Work There. LOS ANGELES, CiL., Nov. 14.—The work of showing the good will of Los An- | geles toward San Francisco in her efforts to secure the Republican National Con- vention was begun this morning and will / be pushed forward witn vigor from now on. Mayor Frank Rader, General John R. Mathews and H. Z. Osborne took outa list and worked an hour and a half. Dur- ing that time they received, including the | subscriptions already made, the sum of | $980. The paper circulated and the sub- | seriptions thus far received are as follows: We the undersigned hereby subscribe the respective amounts set opposite our names to the Republican National Convention fund, for the purpose of paying the expenses attendant upon holding said convention in the City of Sen Francisco in the year 1896, and we agree | to pay said amounts on or before May 1, 1896, n the event that the convention shall be called to meet in the City of San Francisco by the Republican National Committee. If | the convention shall not be called to meet in San Francisco this subserip- tion shall be void: Evening Express, #100; Los Angeles Herald, $100; Hollenbeck Hotel, £100; Henry T.

Sl L e To kill 2 martin in all folklore is consia- ered unlucky. facility for those attending | THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Fine Racing Weather Failed to Make the Favorites Run Fast. | ONE FIRST CHOICE IN FRONT. Volt, Heavily Backed to Down Happy Day at a Mile, Broke Down in the Race. Charlie Boots, winner of the second race, was bid up $200 over his selling price of $200 by Ottinger, the ticket-broker. Arundel was rather neglected in the betting on the last race, but ran an excellent race. He was shut off a couple of times,and then fin- | ished close up with the two leaders. Gernet Ferguson's colt St. Lee was a starter in the second race, the first of the horses owned by the starter’s son to go to the post at the meeting. He ran a very creditable race, finishe ing a bang-up fourth, and will bear watching. To show what a rapid traveling piece of horse- flesh Miss Gentry is, ihe Montana mare stepped off the first eighth of her race in :114-5, went to the quarter in :22 4-5, and flashing past the three-cighths of a mile mark the watches registered :34 4-5. @The Arizona stable’s horse Volt, who made his appearance after a long'rest, broke down badly in the last race after virtually having the purse at his mercy. Previous to the race owner Denny Lynch said he was afraid the horse’s leg might give way, and he called the turn. Archie McIntyre rode a finish on the back of Happy Day in the last race that showed him to be poss d of the right sort of material for the making of a good rider. He hooked up with the veteran Cash Sloane on Leonville and got his horse to the wire first by a head in a rattiing drive. The racing atthe track vesterday was above the average and the attendance large. Theday was one of surprises, for some decidedly warm favorites were turned down. The bookmakers reaped a fortune over the defeats of Yemen and Olivia, who were both heavily backed at short prices. Happy Day, on which little McIntyre rode a superb race, alone saved the talent from going home broke, little Blue Eyes taking the last racein a hard drive from Leonville and carried off the honors of be- | ing the only favorite of the day to get acrossthe line in front. The racing opened disastrously for the crowd. Yemen was backed to a standstill | to win the first race at five furlongs, the short price of 7 to 10 being offered against him, and he finished third. Miss Gentry, fast as a ghost, led the field into the stretch, but was passed the last furlong and beaten out three lengths by Fly, the second choice. the five-furlong dash for two-year-olds, and she too finished in the third notch, going to the post 11 to 5. Encino cut out a hot pace leading up to the seventy yards, where he was passed by Charlie oots, the second choice, and beaten out two lengths in 1:01}4, an excellent per- formance. p ‘ A six-furlong run with the weights | raised ten pounds above the scale fur- | nished a rare guessing contest. Imp. | Trentola looked the most eligible and tuled favorite at 9 to 5. Of the other nine starters Red Root, Bob Tucker and Eva 8 Il gelding received the most backing. The latter horse led all the way. winning hands down, six lengths before Bob Tucker, with Haymarket in third place. The faverite showed prominently until the stretch was reached, where he died away. The fourth race, over a mile, resuited in | the bowling over of Olivia, a redhot even money chance. San Luis Rey with9 to1 against him in the ring led all the way and won galloping from Raindrop. Faro fin- | ished third, the favorite failing to get a mark. | A favorite finally managed to get to the | front in the last_event, also a mile selling | affair. Happy Day opened at 8 to 5 in the bettig, was backed down to even money, receded to 7 to 5, a strong play coming in | on Volt cutting his odds from 4 to 214. It Iooked like Volt's race until nearing the | bend for home, where he suddenly began dropping out of it. Leonville here took | up the running and looked all over a win- ner until Hanp‘f' Day came with his great stretch run and in a drive beat him out a head on the wire. Forty-seventh day.

PROMINENT TURFMEN ARRIVING. Judge Joe Murphy and Barney Schreiber Appear on the Racing Horizon, Horsemen are pouring in daily from the East, and in the billiard-rooms and ro- tundas of the leading hotels nothing is heard there evenings but borse talk. On Wednesday Starter James F. Cald- well, who will wield the flag at Ingleside track, made bis appearance on the scene of the coming racing operations, and yester- day Jos. A. Murphy, who will act in the capacity of judge at tte new track, arrived accompanied by his wife and child and is registered at the Baldwin. For years Mr. Murphy was one of the pest known of Eastern svorting writers, but it was not until he was placed in the judges’ stand that his keen judgment and knowledge of turfaffairs was fully appre- ciated. Mr. Mnrpl?' was associate judge at Harlem track, Chicago, and at the re- cent Sheflield meeting that just closed was presiding judge. He is very popular with all horsemen and his selection by the pro- prietors of the new coarse was considered a most judicious one. 4 Captain James H. Rees, who will be pre- siding judge at Ingleside, is expectes arrive to-day. Among the rank and file no more popu- lar horseman than Barney Schreiber ever visited California, and so when Barney put in an appearance at the track yester- day joy was depicted on the face of every race-goer. Mr. Schreiber isone of the stockholders in the Pacific Coast Jockey Club and, of course, can see nothing but success ahead for the new project. He says that all the horsemen in the re- gion of Clticago, St. Louis and Latonia are looking toward California, and that there never was such an influx of owners and bookmakers as will be witnessed this fall to California. The jovial penciler’s horses arrived among the lot that filled three cars arriving here on Wednesday. The string embraces BService, Servitor, Chartreuse, Therese, Hidalgo, Globe, James and four others. Waiter and Hayden sent out Miss Norma and imp. Piccolo on the same train. Among the bookmaking firms the St. Louis turfman mentioned as signifying their intention of coning to California are Walter & Hayden, Hoffman & Co., Davis tield, Gaines & Co., Captain Tillus and Sam Adler. Jerry Chorn and C. Slaughter will ride in the Schreiber colors. Mr. Schreiber is very fond of Slaughter, who can ride at 78 pounds. Willie Martin, one of the cleverest of Western jockeys, weil known as the rider of Clifford, arrived on the train bringing Mr. Schreiber and his crew.

The long-contested suit of Mrs. Eliza- beth Tobin against the Pacific Coast Blood-horse Association is at last ended and the plaintiff has secured a judgment for $300. She brought suit to obtain $25,- 000 damages, alleged to have been sus- tained in being ejected from the betting- ring at the racetrack December 10, 1893. She was afterward expelled from the grounds and hustled off to the Central Police Station for disturbine the peace. Mrs. Tobin had a great inclination to guess the winners and back her judgment with the coin of the realm, so she wentinto the betting-ring with the same freedom as the male attendants at the races. T. H. Williams, the president of the association, did not think this was the proper thing, and he put his foot down heavily upon the new woman by having his special police request her to go to the place set apart for ladies and their escorts. This she refused to do and when the po- liceman attempted to enforce the presi- dent’s orders there was a queer scene. After Mrs. Tobin was ejected from the Ting she continued to denounce the whole management, wnich resulted in her being arrested and locked up. She considered that she had been so hu- miliated at the hands of the association and its officers that nothing short of $25,- 000 damages would pacify her. The jury decided that $300 would answer the purpose. e PACIFIC KENNEL CLUBS. Meeting of Sportsmen Who are Inter- ested in Bench Show Exhibitions. Last evening a very enthusiastic gather- ing of gentlemen interested in kennel mat- ters took place at the Occidental Hotel with the object of meeting the secretary of | the American Kennel Club, who recently arnved from New York, for the purpose of consulting with the dog fanciers of this coast as regards what is commonly known as the 500 rule, which has materially in- jured the kennel 1interests west of the Rocky Mountains. After considerable discussion on mat- ters of most particular interest and impor- tance to the kennel clubs of this coast, the meeting adjourned so as to give the repre- sentatives present ample time to discuss the questions propounded by Secretary Vrenderburg. . At the next meeting, which will be held in the near future, the questions of hold- ing but one show or a series of shows in this State in each year will be definitely settled. Several of the gentlemen present expressed their views, and nearly all of them were in favor of the abolishment of the five hundred rule, which, although satisfactory to Eastern sportsmen is strongly opposed by the kennel clubs of this coast.

The Coroner’s Jury in the Bennett In. quest Visited the Dangerous Dry Dock Machinery. A Coroner’s jury censured the Union Iron Works yesterday. It did so in a plainly worded verdict after paying the shipways at the Potrero a visit and exam- ining the macbinery. Their verdict was that an employe's death was due to the fact that certain machinery there—gear- ing—was dangerously and unnecessarily exposed. John Bennett, a voung married man whose home was at 834 Mission street, had been employed by the Union Iron Works on the shipways for several months, ana on November 4 his clothing was caught in the machinery by which the crane was moved just as he wad about to begin the aiternoon’s work. He died of blood poi. soning three days later, and yesterday Coroner Hawkins held an inquest to ex- amine into the cause of his death. Three fellow-employes testified as to the circumstances of his death, namely, Oscar Berg of 1314 Madison avenue, a crane- driver also; Jjulius Jonmson of 906 Illinois street, a laborer, and Oscar Williams of 1317 Folsom street, a shipwright. Accord- ing to their testimony Bennett had to de- scend into a sort of cage on the crane in dangerous proximity to a cogwheel of the gearing of the shaft, and so close was this wheel to him that he had just turned part- ly around to see that everything was all right when the “jumper,” a mechanic’s coat which he wore, was caught in the rapidly revolving wheel, and one of his legs was badly crushed. Bergwas the first who saw him. Bennett had been working on this hoisting apparatus for about three months, it was said. The Coroner’s jury, AccomPanied by Deputy Coroner John G. Tyrrell, paid the drydock a visit. When they had care- fully examined the machinery they re- turned the following verdict: We find that death was due to an accident while in the company’s employ, and that had | Decessary precaution been taken by the com- pany in covering the exposed cogwheels the accident could have been averted. It is the sense of this jury that the company be cen- sured for this neglect. S. ROSENTHAL, Foreman, Coroner Hawkins approved the verdict. Three other inquests were held. Wil- liam Bartjes, the saloon-keeper who cut his throat on November 10 at 212 Prospect place, and Theodore Standacher, an up- holsterer, who asphyxiated himself at 1001 Pine street on the 7th inst., were both pronounced cases of suicide. The asphyxia- tion of Mary E. Heller, a widow, at 116 Eddy street on the 10th inst., was found to have been accidental. OAKLANDS TAKE A GAME.
