THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1895. o MOVING ON WASHINGTON, All the Delegates Are Named by | the Executive Com- mittee. GEN. FRIEDRICH LEAVES FIRST.

A delegation of nineteen leading citizens of California will be in Washington Y&'ithm the next week to fight for San Franciscoas the next place to hold the National Repub- lican Convention.

The telegraphic facilities are ample for all pur- ‘poses. No newspaper in the country would want to handle more than 10.000 words a day of the convention doings. When the conven- tion was held in Minneapolis the San Fran- cisco papers got the verbatim reports of the transactions, together with many celumns of gossip, yet there was no inconvenience. It is just as essy to send & report one way as another. This argument is only a flimsy subterfuge. Take the case of the great Bullivan-Kilrain fight in the woods north of New Orleans. All the papers all over the country got full reports after each rouind, and there were thousands of words sent immediately after the contest, and there was no complaint of the inadequacy of the wires. Yet there were only a few wires strung around through the pine trees to th2 piace where the big fight occurred. Hundreds of otber like incidents could be repeated. Take the case of the great yacht races last summer, and it was the same. Why, even during the war all the descriptions of the battles were sent in full to the coast, and there was no complaint. The facilities to-day, with all the modern, improvements, are 100 per cent greater than they were in those days. There are plenty of wires, and the two companies can easily handle all the matter that the press of the country wants. This talk about the tele- | grapn facilities being inadequate is all bosh. 1f there is no other reason than this why San Francisco should not get the convention she will have it sure.

One of the directors last evening said: “It is unfair for us to pay the expenses and let those who do not pay a cent re- ceive the benefit. At arecent fire on Mar- ket street our men got in with their rubber blankets and other apparatus and saved thousands of dollars’ worth of property It turned out that all of the property saved was insured in companies that did not contribute a_cent to the patrol. It is the duty of Underwriters’ Fire Patrol men to save property from fire and water wherever it may be ‘and without question- ing if it be insured or not, or with what company. The strain is a little too much.” President Layton declined to discuss the situation, stating that he had no right to anticipate the action of the meeting on Friday. He hoped anything of a serious nature might be averted. Chief Sullivan of the Fire Department stated that it would be suicidal on the in- surance companies’ part to let the patrol dissolve. th German, — e————— Mary Frothingham’s Estate.

M'HUGH'S WANT OF KNOWLEDGE The Contractor Says That He Does Not Know How His Sewers Were Built. The trial of Street Superintendent Ash- worth for willful and corrupt negligence in office in accepting street work that he is alleged to have known was not up to specifications, was resumed yesterday be- fore Judge Murphy, who has not entirely recovered from his illness. It appeared during the taking of the tes- timony that Ashworth’s attorneys do not intend to contend that any of the work alleged to have been badly done was up to specifications, but will try to prevent the owned a lot of fifty or seventy-feet a second or third sewer would be useless, but again in reply to Mr. Black he said that in case these large lots should be divided up into 25-foot lots all the side sewers would be necessary, and if not putin before the street was accepted it would be necessary to tear up the street to putthem in. *In all cases where pieces of property wider that twenty-five feet are owned by single persons it is customary to provide in the specifications for side sewers every twenty- five feet.” The witness was withdrawn for a time to put on H. N. Clement, the attorney, out of order, as he is about to leave town. He was expected to give some important tes- timony as to the_acceptance of Guerrero street, between Eighteenth and Nine- teenth, Mr. Clement said that he did not know anything about concrete or bitumen, and the Judge suggested that the Assistant District Attorney get some one who was an authority to show the bad quality of the work. 2 On Mr. Black’s offering to show that after the work was done it was accepted by Mr. Ashworth when he knew that it was defective, however, Mr. Clement was al- lowed to go on. He said the concrete was laid not over twenty-four hours prior to the laving of the bitumen. *Prior to the acceptance by Mr. Ash- worth when finished under Ackerson in 1893 we protested. After the new board was elected and in 1295 a recommendation was made by Mr. Ashworth for its accept- ance, although on account of our protest it had been refused acceptance for over a year. The board accepted the street. “The property-ownersfiled a protest, and prosecution from connecting Ashworth directly with its acceptance. It looks as if they will try to shift the blame to his dep- uties. Aifter Ashworth’s attorneys had admit- ted that the defendant was Superintendent of Streets, J. B. Gartland was placed on the stand to identify the contract for sewer work at Clay and Spruce streets drawn between McHugh & Co.and Ash- worth and for the contracts for work on Broderick street, between Ellis and O'Far- rell, and on Eliwood street. E. J. Morser, a deputy in the Surveyor's der which street work is done, and which are furnished the Superintendent of Streets by the Surveyor’s office. The evi- dence went to show that plans for street work are_not always furnished to the Su- perintendent of Streets, nor are they in every case furnished to the contractor. In the particular contract under investigation, the building of a cesspeol on Clay street and Spruce avenue, the general plans of cesspools which that piece of work was supposed to follow were kept in the Sur- veyor’s office and the specifications by which the work is to be performed were furnished the Superintendent of Streets. It is only in case the specifieations differ materially from the general specifications that a separate or special plan is furnished. Supervisor J. C. Hughes was called to tell how he had inspected cne of the cess- ols on Clay street and Spruce avenue. He had measured the oneon the north- west corner in the presence of George W. Elder and some of the Supervisors, and he found 1t to be 4 feet 10 inches in depth. They also measured the trap, but the wit- ness could not remember the exact result of the measurement. They did not meas- ure the cesspool on the southwest corner because Mr. Elder had said the work was correct. They had measured the work on the northwest corner because Elder had complained that it was defective. Supervisor Morgenstern was with the party which measured the cesspool on Clay and Spruce streets, and he corrobo- rated the measurements of Mr. Hughes. Peter McHugh, the contractor who built the obnoxious cesspool, was then called. | He said the plans called for a derm of | L W about six feet, and when the deptl measured by Supervisor Hughes there was alot of sediment in the bottom. He said that after the work had been accepted he | went out and dug the cesspool deeper, be- cause he knew the Mayor had recom- mended that the work be refused. Mr. Black asked McHugh bhow far apart he had put the Y’s or side sewers on Broderick street. *‘I was not there all the time,” replied the witness. “But while you were there, did you notice how far apart they were being | ut?” “No; Idid not gay any attention.” The witness said be did not even have any memorandum to show how many had been putin. 3 *Is it not a fact that they were put in on an average say fifty feet?’” was asked. “I could not say.” ‘Witness said that he did not even have any specifications, but went to the prop- erty-owners and gof the contract and put the Y's 1n as they wanted them. “Isitnot a fact that you never get a contract without you agree to foliow the specifications of the Street Superintend- | ent?” asked Mr. Black. “Well, suppose the property-owners wanted me to put them in different from the plans?” % E. J. Morser, Assistant City Surveyor, was the next witness called. He ‘was asked for the plans and specifications of street work done in April and May of this year in the district covering Clay and Bpruce streets. i < This brought on a discussion as to whether the Street Superintenaent should be bound by the plans and specifications filed in the office of the KEngineer and not in his own, and Jnd%:ae Murphy asked that further information be furnished as to the laws in regard to private and public con- tracts for street work. The witness stated that the number of Y’s are always speci- fied and that the law provides that they shall be twenty-five feet apart along all sewers. Objection was made that this referred only to public work. but the evidence was admitted subject to Mr. Black’s offer to show that all work must be done in accord- ance with the ‘specifications of the City Surveyor. Mr. Black then read from the orders of the Board of Supervisors showing that Y’s must be put in every twenty-five feet along all main sewers. ~ ° LR Judge Murphy asked the witnessif in cases where lots varied in width, some be- ing forty-three wide, how far apart the Y's should be placed. *“In euch cases on lots of forty-three feet in preparing the specifi- cations two Y’s would be provided for,” wae _thereply. Witnessadmitted, in reply to Mr. Ackerman, that where one man WITNESSES AT THE (Sketched by a “Call’ artist.] office, was called to testify tothe plans un- | ASHWORTH CASE, the Street Committée and Mr. Ashworth met the property-owners one Saturday to talk over the matter.” Mr. Ackerman objected to this evidence, as it was all a matter of record, and the | clerk of the Board of Supervisors, John A | Russell, was called, and he gave'a history only accusation in the complaint against Ashworth in this case was that he had, on February 8, 1895, recommended that the work be accepted. The evidence Mr. Clement was expected to give was as to the acts of the Superintendent after that date, and so he was not allowed to go on. At 4 o'clock Judge Murphy said that he was afraid of exbausting himself, and so, with the usual admonition to. the jurors, he adjourned court until 10 A. M. to-day. HONTERS V5. HUNTERS, A Long Pending Case That Will Be Decided To-Day at Fairfield. New Schemes Said to Have Been Con- cocted by Gamekeepers to Annoy Hunters. The sportsmen of this City and Solano County are in hopes that the long-pending injunction case which will come up again to-day pefore Judge Buckles of the Supe- rior Court of Fairfield, Solano County, will be decided either in favor of the pre- serve men or the great mass of sportsmen who are now debarred from shooting on the marshes. Assemblyman Bassford of Solano Coun- ty is of the opinion that the clubmen have no legal title to the marshes, which are now posted with notices warning tres- passers not to shoot thereon. He, says that in the purchase of marsh lands from | the State the purchasers must conform with certain conditions, one of which is that of reclaiming them. Asthe marshes in question have not been improved the conditions of purchase must consequently have been ignored. The clubmen contend that their title is first class in every particular, and if such be the case they certainly have a right to exclude all trespassers—that is, if they conform with the law in other respects, such as fencing, etc. Captain Lees—not the well-known de- tective, but a sportsman who has sailed over many miles of water—is now anxiously waiting an opportunity to run his sloo| and steam launch up the Coraelia Slough to a place called Cooks Pond, which is at the northwest end of the Ibis Club grounds. The captain cannot reach the spot where he is desirous of locating ow- ing toa blockade in the slongh, and his friends are very anxious that he should have this matter of slough blockading brought to the attention of the proper authorities and then apply for a right of way. ’I?be Teal and Cordelia clubs have sta- tioned armed keepers near the place where the slough is blockaded, with_instructions not to allow any person to injure any part of the obstruction to navigation. On the Frank Horn Slough is another blockade station. A bay schooner is now waiting | an opportunity to land some freight at Espinosa station, but it is a matter of con- jecture when the craft will reach its destination. Sportsmen who have recently returned from the Suisun marshes state that the keepers have hit upon a new and happy idea_to give hunters all the annoyance possible. “The scheme concocted is that two or three of the keepers surround a lone hunter and remain with him until he has concluded to leave in disgust. If he should persist in holding his ground for any length of time he isliable to be detained over and charged with having attempted to pech“ a_keeper in mistake for a duck, and all kinds of devices are said to be employed by the keepers to ge".er hunters from trespassing on the mud ats. Mr. Robinson, the Under Sheriff of Solano County, paid a visit to Captain Chittenden, the head keeper of the Cor- delia Club, last Sunday and admonished that individual severely for having taken the law into his own hands a few days be- fore by relieving a young hunter of his gun and game. The gun was subse- quently returned to its owner, but the game was confiscated by the head keeper. of the case, in which it appeared that the | distant about two miles from Espinosa | THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Jim Corbett Poked His Nose in Front at Odds of 100 to I MLIGHT WAS IN RARE FETTLE. Potentate Disposed of a Speedy Lot of Sprinters Without Half Trying. With a better send-off Governor Budd, who was heavily backed to pull off the first race, could hardly heve lost. King was originally carded to ride Soon Enough, but the judges hardly thought him competent to ride 8 3 to 5 choice, and replaced him with Hennessy. 1t H. Martin, who rode April in the second race, used his most vigorous efforts to win he should be relegated to the ranks of the might- have-beens and never be seen astride a horse again. Imp. Star Ruby is one of the handsomest pieces of horseflesh seen at the track in many aday. For a horse that has only been off the cars but a week he ran a fine race, and will bear watching in any kind of company. Barney Schreiber fancied the chances of his horse Yemen to defeat Rosebud and backed him quite extensively. This opinion was shared by Riley Grannan, who was a loser and strung his money with the horse’s owner. The old horse had to succumb to younger blood in the stretch. The hurdle race, a view of which was partly obscured by fog, was & chapter of accidents. Of the six starters but three finished. The riders of the three horses that stumbled es- caped injury, with the exception of Stanford, who had the mount on Dick O’Malley. The horse made a mistake over one of the jumps on the backstretch and Stanford suffered a dislo cated shoulder in the rumpus. Winners on the long shot, Jim Corbett, were few and far between, and Johnny Coleman of the Stuyvesant Club probably enjoys the dis- tinetion of being about the only one in the ring to have a straight bet on the horse. Hughes & Co. laid Johnny $1000 against $10 and Hugh Jones wrote & ticket reading $£500 to £5, which Mr. Coleman elso held. The field- book had but two bets recorded on the sheets against the outsider, and both of these were place bets. Even if Pugilist Jim Corbett did not meke a sieve of Bob Fitzsimmons with nis vonderous fists av Little Rock, his name- sake, the horse running at the Bay Dis- trict, scored & decisive victory yesterday. Starting in the second event, a short six- furlong dash, he was neglected in the bet- ting, the bookies laying odds that varied from 60 to 100 to 1 against him. After the 3 to 5 favorite, Irma, had led for over three parts of the distance she tired, and Jim Corbett and Ida Sauer, another outsider, drew up on even terms with her. In a very close finish the rank outsider won by a nose, with Ida Sauer a neck in front of the favorite. The bookmakers wrote very very few tickets on the winner. The entries yesterday were light, but several high-class horses made their ap- pearance. Race-goers did not turn out | very largely, the attendance being lighter | than usual. Favorites finished first in | four of the six races run. | The crack sprinter Potentate was in fine fettle and appears to have regained his | oid Eastern form, for he showed to good | advantage in the five-furlong handicap. Possibly on account of the poor showing he made in the race preceding yesterday’s, as good as 34 to 1 was obtainable aeainst him, Fly, who is not_mentionable in the same breath with the Eastern horse, being made favorite at 8to 5. Imp. Star Ruby probably earned as much coin on nis chances as any of the starters, being backed down from 414 to3tol. Fly was in front to the stretch, wheu Potentate went to the front and won under restraint in a minute flat. The imported horse fin- ished strong and nipped the place from the tiring Fly by a Lead. The opening race for maiden two-year- olds was taken by the favorite, Prince Hooker, who receded 1n the betting from 3to5 to 8 to5. He downed the second choice, Governor Budd, a neck in a drive. Moran, a 10 to 1 chance, was a close third. The California stable’s Model was strong- ly backed to beat McLight in the mile handicap, each going to the. post 11to5. The Sir Modred mare tried to make a 1un- away race of it; but McLight was in stake form, and when shaken up in the stretch assumed the lead and passed the wire an easy winner in the fast time of 1:401. Wawona, well fancied in the betting for an outside chance, finished a fair third. There were but three starters in the fifth event on the card, a six-furlong seliing affair,with the Burns & Waterhouse entry, Rosebud, a warm 7 to 10 choice. Yemen vas well backed at twos, with Charmion the outsider. Yemen’s colors showed in til the stretch was reached, when the favorite passed him and came in a comfortable winner by three lengths. Charmion finished well and captured the place from Yemen by a head. Time, 1:1414. There appeared to be nothing to the mile and a quarter hurdle race, but Soon Enough and the 3 to 5 offered by the encilers was eagerly sought. The son of 21 Rio Rey went out in front and fairly rolled in, winning by fifteen open lengths from Amigo. Adelante finally came ina distant third. Fifty-second day, Wednesday, November 20.

Crescendo and the other horses in the string owned by the weaithy turfman, Naglee Burke, arrived in San Jose Satur- day night.

THEIR SECRET PRACTICE Olympics Playing a Strong Steady Game, but Berkeley Fumbling. Collegians Score on a Chance Play, but the Clubmen Maké More Re- liable Gains. The secret football game between the Olympic and Berkeley elevens at Central | Park yesterday evening resulted in one touchdown being scored by the university men, although the weagers of the flying doughnut put up the better ground-gain- ing game. Two complete elevens came over from Berkeley and they engaged in some brisk practice before all the Olympians arrived on the field. Eddy Sherman, captain of the U. C. Varsity, played right half and used his knowledge of the end’s position well in blocking off for his companion half’s at- tempts to go round the outposton the scrub line. The Varsity players had little difficulty in scoring two touchdows against the second eleven, but their play was not so clean and sure as might be expected thus late in the season and with the Thanks- giving match only one week off. No less than nine fumbles were made by the Varsity during some twenty minutes’ play. Ransome, the maimed and crippled and dying Ransome, was in every play, ana from his evident good spirits and accus- tomed dash it was hard to_reconcile his apparent activity and soundness with the collegiate doctrine of despair that so re- cently had him a crippled gridiron gladi- ator beyond the hope of recovery. Coach Butterworth was on hand, yelling to his pupils to play faster, as he watched and directed the formation of interference for plays around the ends and tackles. After a little rest the Varsity lined up against the Olympic men, and Ransome’s kick-off of forty yards was immediately caught and returned ten yards before the Olympic runner was tackled. Then the Olympics worked the ball steadily up the field by tackles and end plays, and had it back to the center before they were com- pelled to give it up on downs. But Berkeley lost several yards and the possession of the pigskin on her first at- tempt, and the Olympic men, repeating their successful attacks, had advance: eight yards, when the Berkeley guards broke through and caused them to lose a little ground and the ball also. The Olympics repulsed repeated at- tempts to get through or round their tackles, and very soon regained the airbag on downs. In three plays the clubmen covered ten yards and then Porter, protected by excel- ent interference, was sent round left end for twenty-five yards. Then on their own 10-yard line the Varsity players got the bail and regained about fifteen yards in several plays before they were compelled to kick. But the attempt was blocked and ten yards lost. Ou the third try the ball was sent through the air twenty-five vards and into Olympic territory. It was run back five yards to the center, but in the first play Plunkett got tkrough, cap- tured a poor pass, and with only one man in his way had little difficulty in scoring a touchdown. The Olympics were given the ball on their own 10-yard line. They bucked it up the field for twenty-five yards before being compelled to resort to a punt and_the ends were down the field in time to hold the thirty-five yards gained on the kick. Berkeley struggled hard and fast against tackles and guards and then, after much pushing and hauling, gained five yards and followed it up with a hasty twenty- yard punt that was almost blocked. The Olympics took it well back in Berkeley ground with a run of fifteen yards, and then the game ended on account of the uncertain light of approaching night. Hupp did not play for the college team, but his place was well tilled by the little captain, H. Ransome, and to him the ball was generally intrusted for end attempts benind a rapidly formed but not always successful running line of interference. Captain Smith of the Olympics seemed to have no great difficulty in handling Berkeley’s biggest and most powerful rush, and proved himself the strong pillar in his own rushline. If Simpson and Hall, the special stu- dents disqualified from the Berkeley Varsity, can get off, it is possible,said Cap- tain Smith yesterday, that they will make the trip 10 Butte next Monday with the Olympics, for as yet it is not known posi- tively that all the members of the present Olympic team can go to Montana. e — WITH LARGE SHOTGUNS. Game Commissioners After Hunters Who Use Prohibited Fowling Pieces. For the past week or ten days Deputy Game Commissioner McFarland has been trying to catch several men who were vio- lating the game iaws near Los Banos. The last Legislature amended the law regu- lating the caliber of shotguns and prohib- iting the use ot a shotgun larger than a ten-gauge. By the amendment the pos- session of a gun of larger caliber in the field, on the marsh, bay, lake or stream shall be evidence of itsillegal use. . Information was received by Chief Dep- uty Babcock that several men, known as “bull’” hunters, were hunting near Los Banos with monster shotguns that kill and cripple ducks and other water fowls by the hundreds. The bull hunters start out in large wagons leading a trained steer or two. It is glmost impossible to ap- proach the feeding ponds that lie in the open plains without being seen by the fowl, so the wagon is halted half a mile from the ponds and the driver mounts a high ladder-like structure attached to tke wagon to see if there are many ducksin the water. Ifthere are one of the hunters unhitches the steer, which is gradually worked up to within shooting distance of the game, the hunter with his gun following on the side away from the water. When within shooting distance he blazes away over the steer’s back, and a quarter of an acre of dead and mangled ducks usually marks every discharge. 1f a stranger 1s seen the hunters hide the illegal guns and use 10 or 12 gauge fowling pieces. Every year thousands of ducks are slaughtered by market hunters in the San Joaquin Valley in this manner and with the large guns. Deputy McFarland found that several of these guns were in use near Los Banos, and yesterday a letter was re- ceived from him’ stating that he had ar- rested a market hunter who was butcher- ing game with a six-gauge shotgun. The man’s trial will be he%d on Saturday. He has demanded a jury trial. His arrest caused the other hunters to hide their big and unlawful shotguns B A Clerical Impostor.
