BROKE TWO RECORDS. Fast Swimming Done at the Annual Entertaimment of the California Swimming Club. Two American swimming records were broken at the annual entertainment of the California Swimming and Polo Club held at the Lurline baths last night. Dan Renear of the California Swimming Club one record-breaker. He made 100 rds in 1:08%. The American recordr of was previously 1:15%, which was made in a straightaway swim, while Renear made four turns. E. Stolle of Oakland lowered the 440-yard record from 7:13 to 6:40 4-5. Both prize-winners are mere boys. They will wear gold medals for their prowess. Iy 1500. people witnessed the games 1 the spacious balconies. The pro- me was & most varied one. It began 1 an “illuminated minuet,” in which twenty.one men swam through pretty figures with Japanese lanterns feastened 10 their heads, the house being darkened. Lights were turned on, and the immense audience was convuised at the attempts of the club members to walk a greasy pole which extended over the water, There were four swimming races. There was a gold and silver medal for the two best men in each. The medals were pre- sented by A. P. Hotaling Jr. and William Greer Harrison. The winners were: 140 yards, championship of the Pacific Coast, 0 all amateurs—E. Stolle, gold medal; R. 1, C. 8.

He also came in second in the tub race, which was won by J. Geddes, A game of water polo concluded the en- tertainment. As no team could be found to contest with the California Swimming Club, which holds the Spreckels water- polo cup, two teams from that club played an_exciting game. It ended in a draw. neither side being able to sco 3 WILL ATTACH SHOLTO. Juke Rauer Threatens to Seize the Noble Actor’s Wardrobe and Salary. Lord Sholto Douglas has been arrasted for insanity, married to an actress, ap- plauded by the populace as an ‘“‘actor” himself, visited by his mother-in-law and gone through more exciting experiences than fall to the lot of the average lord. Now he is threatened with a new experi- ence that i o unusaal. Jake Rauer threatens to shee Lord Sholto’s sal- ary and lay legal hands on the baggage of the noble Thespians. Mr. Raner’s claim comes from M.J. Em- mons, the Bakersfield aitorney who repre- sented the lord when he was incar- ceratea on a rge of insanity. Lord Sholto, while il, signed a note for $125 mmoens’ favor as & retainer. This he pay when released, and the ac- 1 ith costs now amounts to $230. “‘He won’t get a cent,”” said Lord Doug- las last night. “I didn’t pay the note, be- ause Emmons did nothing for me. He an’t attach my personal effects. I know, ause my lawver told me so.” ‘‘But how about your salary 2"’ Lord Sholto hadn’t thought of that, for Ins contingeney had never occurred to t | him before. “I earn the money,” said Mrs. Douglas emphatically, ‘‘He don’t act. He just comes on and looks around. So his share of the salary will only be about §1 a week, and they surely can’t attach my salary for deblts he contracted before we were mar- ried.” Then she told how a Mr. Graves had brought the same bill over to Alamedaand tried to attach their “bicycles, horses and bulldogs.” “We only had a chicken, though,”’ she explained, “and they didn’t take that. You see, the bicycle was rented, and we Lad no horse nor dog and they got noth- ing. And as for the salary, why, I'll go down and collect it to-morrow morning myself, so they can’t get any of that. So, there!” (BLYTHE EA}E_SENSATIBNS Florence Hinckley Confronted by a New Contestant for the Estate. A Soldier Claiming to Be Her Father Turns Up Unexpectedly in England. The fight over the Biythe estate still goes on. Attorney Holladay of Lafayette Park fame, filed a lis pendens yesterday, which will operate as an obstacle to any transfer of property in case an order of distribution is made to Florence Blythe. He claims to have new and important evidence, and asserts that he will devote ell his energies to exposing the alleged fraud and conspiracy that were used in se- curing tne decree in favor of Florence Blythe for $4,000,000. Mr. Holladay contends that Florence the was the daughter of J. J. Ashcroft and not related in any way to Thomas H. Blythe. Neither did the latter ever ac- knowledge his paternity. Sensations are promised on all sides. Henry E. Highton, attorney for Alice Edith Blythe, 1s now preparing a bill of exceptions and will also ask for an injunc- tion to prevent the Public Administrator from paying Mrs. Hinckley Blythe any money. 'He will also charge fraud in the matter of the order declaring Florence Blythe the heir of the deceased miliion- aire. The court will also be asked to reopen the case. It is asserted there is a mysterious letter to be brought out, purporting that Flor- ence is the daughter of an English soldier, who is liable to appear here in any moment to testify. That such a letter exists is gen- erally admitted, though the attorneys are very tacitnrn on the subject. 1t is also to be set forth in the bill of exceptious that the father of Florence E. Blythe is still living, and that fraud was practiced by the wholesale in securing the transfer. The detective firm of McQueen & Co. of London promises to furnish much val- vable testimony for the contestants of Florence’s claim. It is asserted the Lon- don detective firm holds Florence’ father subject to the call of the attorneys. The complications which have arisen in the celebrated case freight it with deep interest. After twelve years the end is not yet. CARPENTERS I THE PARK, Will Request the Commissioners to Employ Resident Workmen. Pressmen Confilent of Winning the Schmidt Strike—Election of Labor Bureau Officers. When the Park Commissioners meet they will receive from the District Coun- cil of the Carpenters’ unionsa communi- cation and petition with reference to the construction of the projected new buildings in Golden Gate Park. At the meeting of the council last evening it was announced that the Commissioners propose to erect a museum, music-stand, etc. It was decided to petition the board to do all in its power to secure the employment of resident car- penters and other workmen upon these buildings. The members of the council contend that the best workmen who are employed on any work in this City are residents and taxpayers of San Francisco, who spend their money and educate here their chil- dren in the public schools—in other words are first-class citizens. As the winter approaches and work be- comes less easy to obtain the resident car- penters believe that they should be given the preference over the tramp )onrne¥mgn who flock here at this season, especially in the construction of public buildings which their taxes help to build. . 1t is to enlighten the Commissioners on the situation and to request that the con- tracts be let to only responsible contract- ors who are in favor of keeping the City’s Pt will be presented. Tt is probable that the Commissioners will be informed of several cases where migratory workmen have been employed on City work, who have left town as soon as they were paid, and where the work was so poorly performed that it had to be repaired almost before the paint was dry. The combined carpenters and joiners of San Francisco, about 1600 in number, will hold a grand ballin B'nai B'rith Hall on the eve of the 25th inst. under the aus- pices of the District Council. A meeting of the San Francisco Printing Pressmens’ Union No. 21 was held last e\'cmn§ and a report made upon the strike in the Schmidt Label Company’s office at 17 Main street, The strike has been on for three months. It was started because the proprietors refused to pay what the pressmen con- sidered fair wages—that is, the Wages paid in similar places in this City. Over a dozen women, who are expert in their line, are in the strike. The report was made that the strike had been practically won, as the company was unable to secure pressmen who would fiil the requirements. No members of the International Union will take the places of the strikers. . The Labor Burcau Asscciation at 115 Turk street held an election last evening. The officers selected were: Secretary, A. E. Carlisle; financial secretary, C. Mean- well; treasurer, A. Parks. The follo ing four members were selected to fill the ex- Kured terms offour of the executive board : W. H. Hutchinson, M. Grunwall, A. Holmes and D. Murphy. It was decided to permit the Painters and Decorators to use the lower hall of the temple as head- quarters until they have secured head- quarters of their own. s S MAN VERSUS MACHINERY, E. A. Ross Addresses a Large Audience at the Turk-Street Temple. A Partial Remedy Suggested in a Plan for Careful, Extensive Manual Training. Professor Edward A. Ross of the chair of economic theory and finance of Stan- ford University lectured to a large andi- ence at the Turk-street Socialist Temple last evening on the subject **Man vs. Ma- chinery.” As a preface to the lecture Miss Schuel- ler sang, and as an encore rendered a Ger- man selection. The Maennechor sang “Die Arheitsmann,” and by request the “Marseillaise.” Professor Ross said: Some yearsago I had opinions, but I have been a student of economics so long that I now have but two things—sympathies and conclusions. I do not give my sympathies. I have changed my opinions so many times the past ten years that I do not consider them worth snything. Let us regard the question of the evenirg simply as a_problem. The tool is more under the command of the man wielding it than is the machine under the control of the man attending it. Machinery is i?!*l under the control of the will than is the 0ol. Machinery has come gradually 1nto use, yet the nineteenth century is the age of the power of machinery. There are those who believe thatthisis a burst of inventive geuius that will never be equal Others there be who think the twentieth century will surpass i How shali we regard this era of mechanism? ertain character of labor machinery that cannot be other means. Another is that machinery excuses the employment of human strength. " Surely it is a good thing that the waters flowing down the Sierras may enable us to ride about the City. We may say very truly when a machine has been invented that does the work of 100 men we have practically 100 slaves. It is & slavery thst enslaves no one, however. re is a difference in the view of the intro- duction of & machine on the part of the man who owns it and the man whom 1t displaces. A set of optimists tell us that, while ma- chinery may deprive a man of his job, it bene- fits hiim in the direction of a lessening in the price of commodities. This is small comfort t0 the man who los dollar a day if he is able to get his socks 3 ceuts cheaper a pair. Neither do the optimists give material help by their theory that there will be a greater de- mand for goods which the introduction of ma- chinery has made cheaper. That is question- able reasoning. I apprehend that if there should be a great reduction in coffins there would be no inciination on our part to lay in a stock of coffins. England’s industrial history shows that the introduction of machinery tends to drive men over to other forms of service—in other words a shifting of labor {rom trades_employing ma- | F chines to those not yet applying them. are leaving industries that are steady and sure for others more unsteady and precarious, from the manufacture of smfde articles to those for which the demand is less certain. The use of machinery has tended to either prolong the day’s labor or to interfere with its being shortened. Machinery tends to restrict the liberty and seli control of the man who attends it. It has a tendency, by the monotony of its service, to shrivel up the higher powers. _Machinery does not deprive a lawyer, a phy- sician, a newspaper man ot his income. It does not disturb it except that its purchasing power is increased thereby. Itis the laborer whom it drives from the position of a skilled to an unskillcd laborer. A man who does the same character of a work as a mule is in danger of losing his job through that mule. Likewise, the man who does such work as may be done by dynamite may be superseded by dynamite. Peoples’ incomes are, becoming more un- equal, There is & dispersive power of ma- chinery. The whole system of competition tends to this end. Thisis no one’s fault. No man is to blame for the market velue of classes of work. Itis a natural, spontaneous evolu- tion. Every time a machine has been intro- duced it has been in obedience to some claim or law of advantage. Sooner or later society will endeavor to miti- gate the evils caused by the general use of machinery. There is no use trying to abolish machinery. It represents mechanical civiliza- tion, and people will object to return to me- chanical barbarism. 1 believe socialism or collectivism can cure the evil, but that, and that alone, would seem to me li vouring the baby out with the bath. Society 1, I believe, provide for the manual training of youth to the point of skill. There were questions and addresses by some of the members, to which the pro- fessor replied that the plan of governments making $100,000 the maximum limit of the inventor’s gain from an invention com- mends itself to mary thoughtful minds. Often the inventor is the man who puts the last shingle on the house or the cap- sheaf on the shock of grain. The third of the series of lectures will ve given by Morrison J. Swift Wednesday. He proposes to establish the claim that *‘ignorance is the only impediment to so- cialism.” A BENCH SHOW IN MAY. The Pacific Kennel Club Will Give an Exhibition Next Year. The Pacific Kennel Club held a well- attended meeting at the Occidental Hotel last evening, with President Biers in the chair. The constitution was changed, making & quorum seven instead of ten, as formerly. James Mortimer, who will represent the club as a delegate to the American Ken- nel Club, will be instructed to oppose the resolution proposed by the American Ken- nel Club prohibiting the exhibiting of dogs at bench shows that are cropped. . The bench-show committee reported that it had received from the trusteess of the Mechanics’ Pavilion the refusal of that lace for the holding of a bench thow in The club was very much in favor of a show, to open May 6 and close of next year. —_— Judge Garber Makes a Change. Judge John Garber has decided to retire from the law firm of Garber, Boalt & Bishop, the senior member of which he has been for many years. Judge Garber’s new move is not a surprise, as it has been generally understood that with the final settlement of the Blythe case he would ‘cease his connection with the firm and form a copartnership with hisson and ex-Judge Eugene Garber.

(0L FOURD N SOADMA Dr. O'Donnell Makes a Rich Find on His Ranch at Glen Ellen. =4 Says He Will Be Able to Supply San Francisco With Coal at $2 50 a Ton. Dr. C. C. O’Donnell expects to supply San Francisco with coal at $2 50 a ton. Up on the doctor's ranch in Sonoma County, a few hundred yards from the raiiroad depot at Glen Ellen, a ledge of anthracite coal has been discovered and it promises a large yield. It isover six feet in width and 379 feet in length. Experts have pronounced the coal of excellent quality, and overtures have already been made to Dr. O’Donnell for the purchase of the mine. Dr. O’'Donnell flatly refused all offers for the property. He will put a large force of men to work and develop it him- self. Already he has ran a tunnel in some eight feet. A superior quality of coal is found as the ledge is uncovered, and the indications are so encouraging that Dr. | O’'Donnell will set the men to work at an early day, running a tunnel fifty feetin width. “My experts tell me,” said Dr. O’ Donnell vesterday, “‘that the coal from the ledge ‘is of a high grade, and from tests made, their | reports have been fully verified. I am satisfied that I have a coal mine, and if developments contiuue as favorable as at present, I will push the enterprise, and in | this way will be able to give employment | to a large number of men. | . Parme - I will be able to sell coal from my mine on the San Francisco market at $2 50 a ton. It will cost about 30 cents a ton to mine the coal and about 85 cents additional for transportation. Then there will be other expenses in handling the coal in the City. Anyway, I am not anxious to make a | fortune out of the business, but feel that if I can furnish the people of San Francisco with coal for fuel at $250 a ton, I will be doing some good to the community. “Iintend bandling the enterprise my- self, and, though I have received several offers to sell the mine outright, stock it and work it jointly with other parties or sell part of it, I have declined to enter into any combination. *The mine is located on my ranch at Glen Ellen. It is 100 yards from my house and is on the Sonoma Creek. The depots of both the North Pacific and the Southern Pacific are near by. The North Pacitic Railroad will build a _spur to the mine if things turn outas I expect they will. “This ledge has been there for centuries. No person paid any actention to its slate- colored croppings. I thought there was something of value in itand had it de- veloped. The result is most satisfactory— so much so that I am going to run a fifty- foot tunnel.” Dr. O'Donnell is very enthusiastic over this discovery. He has just returned from & visit to the mine. MARIPOSA ELECTRICITY. A Plant to Run Mining Machinery in the Coulterville Dis- trict. H. H. Clark of Coulterville, Mariposa County, was in this City during the pres- ent week on business in connection with the establishment of an electrie plant on the Merced River at a point above Horse- shoe Bend. He is the manager of the Horseshoe Bend ,Orchard and Vineyard, the vproperty of P. ¥.and C. L. Mast. P. P. Mast is widely known as the million- aire manufacturer and the Mayor of the city of Springfield, Ohio. Mr. Clark is the owner of two valuable mining proper- ties a mile northwest of Coulterville. He is a level-headed man and takes no stock in booms or chimerical schemes, but means business. A company is practically organized and will, in the very near future, be incor- porated with a ‘capital stock of $500,000, represented by 5000 shares at §100 a share, under the name of the ‘Bend Power Com- pany.” Plans have been formulated and estimates made for the work. A dam will be constructed about a miie above Horse- shoe Bend. It is to be of concrete, thirty- five feet in height, and in every respect a substantial structure. From this point the water will be conveyed by ditch and flume a mile and a half, giving ninety-three feet fall. The river at its lowest stage carries about 10,000miners’ inches of water, which will furn 1800 horsepower delivered. The low stage referred to continues from twenty to thirty-five days. For eight ‘months of the year they can handle a suf- ficient volume of water for 4000 horse- wer. Within _reach of this power there is now in operation and in process of de- velopment over one hundred mines. The urpose is to furnish the power required R)r all the mines in the district, and is no power available for this localit{ except at this point on the river its importance as a factor of prosperity is self evident. It is further emphasized by the recent action of the United States Government agents, who have stopped the cutting of wood on the vublic domain, and threatened wholesale and indiscriminate arrest of trespassers. It may be mentioned in this connection that, as a matter of fact, there is no ap- preciable amount of wood or timber con- venient to this section of country, outside of Government land, and if parks and reservations increase in number and ares, it will not be many yvears before there .will be a scarcity of fuel for domestic use. The estimated cost of the Bend Fower Compnn{ plant is about $150,000. Mr. Clark will remain in San Francisco till Sunday morning next. The unfinished business of the organization of the com- hnny will be left in the hands of Dr. F. M. opkins of this City. as_there STRONG LEGAL COALITION. Attorneys Page, Eells and Mec- Cutchen to Unite in Practice. WILL GO INTO EFFECT SOON. The New Firm’s Name Will Be Page, McCutchen & Eells. The legal fraternity and public in gen- eral will be interested to learn that a part- nership is to be formed on the first of Jan- uary between the firm of Page & Eells and E. J. McCutchen. This important legal coalition goes into effect the first of the year, but the new firm will be installed in its offices on the ninth floor of the Mills building the mid- dle of the present month. The parties to the new copartnership are rated among the leading attorneys of the Pacific Coast. Individually and collective- lg they have been counected with many of the celebrated litigations of the last fifteen years. The firm of Page & Eells was formed in 1881 and since that time the partners have handled much of themost important legal business of the coast. Their practice in- cludes nearly half of the maritime reve- nue business. Among the most recent noted cases were those of the Itata and General Kzeta, the dark-visaged San Sal- vadoran whose exile in this City has fur- nished so much material for the news- mongers. The firm has also acted for many of the large landed corporations. It is at present the legal representative of extensive Scotch interest on this coast. Mr. Page has resided .here since 1870. His first partnership was with Milton Andros, a prominent admiralty attorney. Mr. Eells has been a resident of San Francisco since early boyhood. He prac- ticed alone up to the time the partnership was formed in 1881 E. J. McCutchen came here nineteen years ago. He practiced alone for some time and then became a member of the firm of Estee, Wilson & McCutchen. The partnership was formed in 1887 and was not dissolved until 1892. Mr. Wilsoh and Mr. McCutchen continued in joint practice until the former’s death in September, 1893. Mr. McCutchen has had a very extensive practice and been connected at various times with many important litigations, He is at present the attorney for the Edi- son Electric Light and Power Company and represents Eloyd Tevis in many of his corporstion interests, notably the Kern County Land Company. He 1is _the attor- ney for the Hobartand Wilmerding estates and conducts a large part of Mrs. Hearst’s legal business. One of the noted cases with which he has been connected of late was that of the Mnulatos mining suit, involving upward of $2,000,000. The action was brought by an English corporation to set aside the sale. Alvinza Hayward was in control at the time. The new firm name will be Page, Mc- Cutchen & Eells. The silent partners, so called, are R. T. Harding, attorney for the Califorma Title Insurance Company, and M. F. Michel, now with Mr. McCutchen. The new offices on the ninth floor of the Mills puilding will be occupied by the firm about the 15th of the month, though the partnership will not be formally consum- mated until the new year, NORTH BECH SEAVDAS Application Renewed for the Re- lease of Two Girls on Bonds. Adolph Vischi Charged by His Daugh- ter With Being the Father of Her Child. Phillip Ratz, who has been held to an- swer before the Superior Court for crimi- nal assault upon voung girls, appearea in Judge Campbell’s Court yesterday to an- swer the charge of having indecent litera- ture in his possession. y consent the case was continued for a week, as by that time the Judge expects to be installed in a new courtroom. Attorney P. A. Bergerot renewed his ap- plication for the release of Emma Mar- chand and Lmfl Breadhoff, two of the wit- nesses against Ratz, Lane and Meyers, on bonds of $500 each. “I would not consent to_ their release,” said the Judge, ‘‘under $5000 bonds. The Marchand girl is a witness in three cases and her bonds would be $5000 in each case, making $15,000 altogether. As her parents are poor people I don’t think you can fur- nish the Eonds.” +It will be an easy matter to furnish the necessary bonds,” said Attorney Bergerot to the surprise of the court. After the Judge had recovered from his surprise he said he would reserve his de- cision on the application till Saturday. Another scandal of the North Beach was developed _yesterday. Adolph Vischi, a painter, 56 years of age, living in Gerke alley, off Dupont street, was arrested by Policemen Flannelly and Fontana. The officers also placed under arrest his daugh- ter May, 24 years of age, who carried a baby 13 montbs old in her arms, They were taken before Captain Witt- man and the girl charged Vischi with being the father of the child. Vischi left his wife and daughter in Italy when the latter was 4 years old. When her mother died she lived with her uncle till two years ago, when her father sent her money to bring her here to keep house for him. — e Hortensius, the Roman orator, could re- peat, word for word, a book he had just read. On one occasion he made a wager with one Sienna, and_to win it he went to an auction, remained all day and in the evening gave a list of all the articles sold, the prices paid for them and the names of the purchasers.
