THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDA_Y, DECEMBER 7, 1895. 5 RUDOLPH SPRECKELS 1S AGAIN ENJOINED, _— The Paauhau Stock Is to| Remain Tied Up. A POINT FOR PLAINTIFF. An Important Issue of Wide- spread and General Interest Involved. RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN. All the Technical Objections Raised to the Original Complaint Have Been Met. Upon motion of Samuel M. Shortridge of the firm of Delmas & Shortridge, at- torneys for Claus Spreckels and his wife, Judge Slack made a special order yester- day continuing in force indefinitely the injunction issued last May restraining Rudolph Spreckels from disposing of the stock in the Paauhau Plantation Company, claimed by Mr. and Mrs. Spreckels. This was a strong point in favor of the | plaintiffs in the celebrated suit, and is indirectly in the interest of every woman in California who is, or who hopes to be, married. It was claimed by Rudolph Spreckels that in 1893 Claus Spreckels, his father, made him a gift of half a million doilars’ worth of stock in the Paauhau Plantation Company, despite the fact that the law tnen required that gifts of community property could be made legally only with ent of the wife in writing. This is alleged, was then part of the community property of Claus Spreckels ana his wife, Anna C. Spreckels, and she has never given her consent in writing or in any other way to the alieged gift. In fact, it is claimed by her attorneys that but that, when recalled as Mrs. Van Pelt pictured them, added a feminine gentle- ness and pathos to this particular one of hundreds of lectures on the greatest war of modern times. Mrs. Van Pelt's father was a banker, and as was the custom then the bank was a building adjoining the residence. The preservation of the Government treasure from the ever-eager guerrillas and the strategy employed in the successful biding~ of ‘the ccin and bank notes form one of the most striking details of the life of suspense 1n_which the Union sympathizers lived. They were within hearing distance of the guns of Fort Donaldson, and yet it was a week before they knew that the Union forces under the young and until then little-known Grant had been victorious. A pathetic account was given of the con- version of two churches in the little town into temporary hospitals, and of some of the scenes endcted there by the wounaed and dying of both sidi The whole' lecture was illustrated by stereopticon views from oil paintings, made especially for the purpose by Arthur Matthews, the well-known artist of this City, and by some prominent Eastern artists. All the landscape scenes were in colors. Portraits of the weil-known heroes of the war were thrown upon the screen at inter- vals and the list was completed with Grant, the silent man of destiny, and with Abraham_ Lincoln, whom Mrs. Van Pelt characterized as the greatest man of history. 2 During the evening patriotic selections were sung by a quartet in the gallery, and the concluding piece was **America,” in which the audience united. NOE VALLEY UP N AR The San Miguel Defense Asso- ciation Has Engaged a Law Firm. Rousing Meeting of Property-Owners Held and a Subscription List Started. The San Miguel Defense Association beld a rousing meeting last night at Jud- son Hall. The question so long agitated by the there was no gift, by reason of the law re- | property-owners as to who shall undertake ferred to. Suit was therefore commenced last May the names of Claus and Anna C. preckels to require Rudolph to return stock. After considering the com- t Judge Slack granted an injunction aining Rudolph from selling or dis- g of his stock. 1t the defendant did not propose to return so valuable a holding without a bitter fight and raised all sorts of tech- 1 objections to the method of the pro- ceed s. Great interest has been exhibited in the e. not only on the part of the women of | e, but by attorneys generally, and 3 ested in the banking and loaning itions of California. | The q to eve tions involved are also of interest | y purchaser of real estate, and to all who have large dealings of any nature. Heretofore, the rights of married women i community property acquired by 1 or alone, in connection hus d of so indefini es where the law has expressly ha ture of the wife every lawyer of di - every banker and | ry careful buyer of real estate has re- juired the wife to sign all papers con- necied with the transfer of property.

Spreckels were married in 1852. On July 31, 1893, they owned and, as is claimed, still own 5000 shares of stock of the Paauhau Plantation Company, a Ha- waiian corporation. Claus Spreckels ap- peared on the books as the owner of the stock. On the day named Claus Spreckels indorsed the certificates of stocks in blank end transferred them to the defendant without any valnable’ or other considera- tion. These certificates the defendant sur- rendered to the corporation and had new ones issued in bis own name. According 10 the laws of Hawaii and the company’s articles of incorporation a transfer of | stock may be made in this way. The de- | livery of the stock, however, was made without the knowledge or consentof Anna C. Spreckels, and the defendant never paid anything to either of the plaintiffs for the | same. Anna C. Spreckels never gave her consent | in writing or otkerwise 1o the delivery, | transfer or gift of the stock, and never rati- fied or sanctioned the action of her husband in the matter. At the time of the transfer the yielding large dividenas and continues to do so. These dividends, amounting to about $5000 monthly, the defendant col- Jected until_restrained by the order of the court on May 18, 1835. As the pre- tended owner of the stock the de- fendant continues to hold possession and and appropriates the dividends to his own use. }fe now threatens to sell the stock, which is now within the jurisdiction of the California courts, to parties in Hawail and in case it is sent gut of the State It will be lost to the plaintiffs and they will be obliged to go to Honolulu and prosecute suits there in order to recover the stock in question or the proceeds of its cale. The stock in question is valued at $500,000. The court is asked to restrain the defendant from sending the stock or any | portion of 1t out of the State, and to order its return to the plaintiffs witbout delay; and further, to give a full accounting of all the dividends received by him. ; Upon reading the amended complaint Judge Slack made the order continuing the old injunction in force pending the suit, which, as one well-known attorney said yesterday, “means until the rights of the parties are finally determined in the Supreme Court.” FROM A WAR-TIME DIARY. Mrs. Van Pelt Relates Her Girlhood Im- pressions of the Rebellion. Mrs. Ada Henry Van Pelt went back to Civil War times in the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. building; went back not only to the quaint and picturesque dress of the early '60’s, but to a diary of old war times, in which she was a young girl living with loyal parents aimost in the heart of the battle-swept South. 5 Standing before her audience like a vision of bygone times, Mrs. Van Pelt was dressed in a robe remarkable for its droop- ing sleeves and expansive, flowing all(u't. Sne read from her diary her impressions of the war as it was being waged on all sides of the old plantation home in the southern part of Kentucky near the border-line of Tennessee. The record was full of reminescences the defense of the suit and how 1t shall be conducted was satisiactorily settled. At last night's meeting four bids, sub- mitted by different attorneys,were read and discussed at length. A committee of five was finally appointed to consider the offers and make a recommendation for one of them. The bid of Attorneys Lane & Lane was accepted by a unanimous vote. The offer ows: nderson and other mem- of Castro Improvement Club— : the solicitation of several of 1 embers we beg leave to submit the fol- lowing proposition relating to the defense of your proposition against the attack of the Noe heirs: 1f fou will guarantee us the defense of at 30 lots we will defend them through the sperior and Supreme courts for a fee of $1a lot.

LOCAL LABOR UNIONS. To Assist the Cause of the 700 Detroit Cigar-Makers Out on Strike. The local Labor Council decided last night to assist the cigar-makers of Detroit that are out on strike because child-labor has been employed in seven cigar factories of that city to the displacement of 700 men. William Strauss, president of Cigar- makers’ Union No. 32, presented the De- troit case and as a result of his remarks a committee consisting of T. F. Burns of the Cigar-markers’ Union, Harry Orr of the Typoeraphical Union and William Zahn of the Brewery Workmen’s Union were ap- pointed to confer with a local firm that is known to deal in cigars made by the of- fending factories. Since June 6, when the strike was de- clared, Strauss has been traveling over a large part of the United States, speaking before labor unions and applying to deal- ers and consumers, requesting them not to purchase the Detroit cigars made by the particular firms that are employing only child labor. ““The strike has been a long and ver- sistent one,” said Strauss, “and there has been scarcely an individual of the hun- dreds of aggrieved ones to relent during the entire six months,and they are still out. “Slowly but certainly the cigar-makers saw that they were being discharged by the eight companies, and they saw little children, appurently about 10 years of age, taking their places. When 250 men had been dischargea within a few days the union thought it time to declare a strike before they should all be on the street and the effect of a strike lost. The National Cigar-makers’ Union upheld our action, and it hasstood by us and helped us finan- cially ever since we went out. “One of the factories afterward acceded to our demand, but seven are employing iittle children at 90 cents a week to do an inferior grade of work at a low price that will make it possible to market a much cheaper article. The children have cer- tificates stating that they are 14 years old, but it is evident that many of them are much yonnger. With the large families of the unemployed poor every little counts, and the children take the work, not from choice but from necessity, for in very many cases the children are doing the work that the father formerly per- formed at decent wages.’’ The International Furniture-workers’ Union has amalgamated with the Inter- national Machine Woodworkers’ Union, and the new combination is known as the Amalgamated Woodworkers’ Union and embraces a members| in America of about 50,000 men, with National head- quarters in Chicago. ——————— To Oust Attorney Coffey. .

Williams last April for a francaise to construct and operate a garbage crema- tory, the Board of Supervisors advertised for bids for such a franchise. Mr. Williams put in 2 bid of $2000 and $28,000 additional, to be paid in install- ments extending over a period of thirty- five years, the proposed life of the fran- chise. He also stated that his charge to the public for disposing of the garbage would be 25 cents a cubic yard. Henry J. Lang also put in a bid offering $1100 for the franchise and agreeing to charge 20 cents per cubic yard for dispos- ing of the garbage. On the 30th of September last the board rejected both bids on the ground that the advertisement for bids should have asked for bids on the franchise and also for the charge to be made for disposing of garbage. Mr. Williams claims that he should have been granted the franchise, as the statute of March 23, 1893, providing for the sale at public auction of franchises, states clearly and explicitly that the franchise, after it had been properly advertised and offered, “must’’ be granted to the highest bidder. Last week the board advertised for new bids for a garbage crematory,and Mr. Williams states that he will next week in- stitute proceedings to compel the board to grant him the francnise in question and to enjoin the board from granting it to any other person, corporation or company. CAPT. WING DISGUSTED. Ho Will Not Refit His Ships in This Port Any More Because of High Port Charges. High port charges are driving shipping away from San Francisco. The big New Bedford whaling firm of J. & W. R. Wing has for the past ten years refitted its ves- sels in this port. During that time it has expended over half a million dollars. Three of its vessels—the Cape Horn Pigeon, Charles W. Morgan and Alice Knowles—sailed for the southern seas, and it cost $30,000 to refit them and get them away. All that money was spent in San Francisco, and the merchants got the good of it. Those days are past, however, and the chances are that not one of J. & W. R. Wing’s fleet will ever be seen at this port again. Mr. Wing is disgusted with the port charges, and says that in future he will make Panama his bome port. At that point he has just as good shipping facili- ties as in San Francisco, while the rates for wharfage and port charges are not half | as high. Goods may be a little more ex- | pensive, but the saving on the other end will more than compensate for that. “1don’t think Mr. Wing will ever again bring his ships to San Francisco,” said a whaling captain yesterda, “He is dis- gusted, and does not scruple to say so. I don’t think he has definitely settled upon Panama for headquarters. He may go to Honolulu, and I think that would be the better place of the two. In Houolulu he can get a new crew 1f necessary, and in Panama he could not. It is a pity heis going, as it will give this port a biack eye.” ——————— MCAFEE Bros.’ auction sale of iirittan Ranch, San Mateo Co., sure to-day. See advertisement. z .- AN INSURANCE DEAL. Rolla V. Watt’s Companies Drift Apart and He Takes the ‘‘Queen.’ J. Montgomery Hare, the resident man- ager of the Norwich Insurance Union in New York, has been in this City several days in the interest of his company. His visit has resulted in a radical change which will cause considerable surprise in insurance circles. It has brought about the disruption of two very important fire insurance corporations on the Pacific Coast after they had been united in busi- ness for several years. | It was announced yesterday through him that the Norwich Union and the Royal would part company, one of them | going out of Rolia V. Watt's office, to be | replaced by the Queen Insurance Com- pany of America from the office of Boyd & Dickson. The Queen Company will then be taken fr. Watt. The Norwicn Union, the Royal, the Queen and the Royal Exchange concerns were formerly in a poul in London which held good in the United States, but re- cently this compact was broken and now they will all continue in business inde- pendent of one anoth: The British Ship Reliance Came Here Via the Cape of Good Hope. She Was Caught in Three Heavy Hurricanes and Her Cargo Shifted Twice. Two hurricanes encountered, whole suits of sails blown away, yards by the board, cargo shifted and a man killed, is the rec- ord of the eventful voyage of the British ship Reliance, which arrived from Swansea vesterday. After making several attempts to round the Horn, Captain Robinson gave it up in disgust and cleared away for New Zealand, finally reaching San Francisco by the way of the Cape of Good Hope. During her long run the zood ship covered 25276 knots, at an average speed of six and a half knots an hour, which is a remarkably good showing when ail the circumstances are taken into account. “We left Swansea on June 27 last,” said Captain Robinson yesterday. “Off Cape Clear we- had a heavy gale, during the course of which our cargo shifted. The storm only lasted twelve hours, and then we set to work to trim ship. After that all went well until we were off the River Platte, where a hurricane struck us. The sails were blown out of the bolt-ropes and everything movable on deck was washed overboard. The cargo shifted again, and the skip took a heavy list. Isaw that we were in a dangerous predicament so I the shig before the wind, and aiter trim- ming the cargo I ran down the easting as far as the south coast of New Zealand. “‘Our troubles were not all over, however, A revolving hurricane caught us this time and again our sails went flying away like so many kites. The mercurial barometer fell from 30.40 to 28.40 and the aneroids from 30.60 to 28.40. The hurricane began at north-northeast and lasted fifty-six hours. During that time almost every one of the crew was on deck ana it kept one guessing to tell which direction the wind would come from. After that expe- rience we had fair weather to San Fran- cisco. “On July 17 we had a terrible accident. Lewis Furrinli;zon,aged 20 years, was on the mainyard attending to some work. He made a misstep, lost his hold or some- thin, hupfined and he fell headfirst to the deck. He lived for nearly thirty hours put and everything possible was done for him. He never regained consciousness after the fall. We buried him at sea.” In spite of her long passage and all the rough weather she has gone through the Reliance looks spick and span and Captain Robinson is justly proud of his ship.

Pepper Had Too Much Class About Him for His Company in the Handicap. Four straight favorites won at Ingleside yesterday, but Willie Martin managed to finish second with All Over, on which a ton of money was played to win the last race, and the talent’s gains all went back to the bookies again, supplemented by a few additional dollars. The downfall of rain during the night left the track in a sloppy condition. A heavy mist settled over the course toward nightfall, totally obscuring a view of the horses in the last race and partially so in the two preceding races. The attendance was good and the bet- ting spirited, even though Riley Grannan’s familiar figure was missed from the ring. Willie Martin carried off the jockey | honors, riding two winners and once finish- | ing second. Backed down from 43¢ to 1 to twos, Red Glenn, with Coady up, took the opening race, over seven furlongs, in a drive from the 10-to-1 chance, E. H. Shirley. Patriot, vil_mdwas in front most of the way, finished third. 1 Our Maggie held sway in the betting for a time on the nextrace, a mile selling dash, but finally gave way to Basso. who went to the post a 7-to-5 favorite. Roma held a slight advantage over the favorite for | something over half the distance, when | Bergen gave him his head and he romped | in the easiest of winners, five lengths be- fore Our Maggie. ! The owners’ handicap, at five furlongs, | for two-year-olds, with six starters, re- sulted in'a very impressive win - for Green Morris’ speedy youngster, Sir Play, who went back in the betting from 6 105 to 9to5. He passed Joan ip the stretch. and beat her easily by a length. Mobalaska, whose price was hammered down from 434 to 2 to 1, could finish no better than third. The mile and a furlong handicap, with four starters, furmished another favorite that did not receive strong support. Pep- per opened at 6 to 5,-and 9 to 5 was obtain- able when the. horses were called out, the biggest_portion of the coin going in on Peter II. Martin on Pepper took things easy until well into the stretch, where he let out a wrap, and shaking off the second choice won gands down. Moderocia was third in front of Arapahoe, with Griffin up, who was expected to be a factor in the race but ran disappointingly. i A seven-furlong dash that was run in the fog sent the crowd home much lighter in pocket. All Over was plunged on, but when the horses came into view a short distance from the wire, Chartreuse, with sevens about her in the ring, was leading the first choice, and the Cheviot filly beat him out handily by four lengths in 1:313{. Shield Bearer was a poor third. Track and Paddock Items. Hugh Jones, whose luck of late seems to have undergone a change for the better, quit $2500 ahead on the day. Hetook a hard fall out of All Over, and had Roma finished first would have added a few thousands more to his bank account. Riley Grannan, who is now said to be about $33,000 behind the game, took a va- cation yesterday and did not appear at | the track. To-day’s fine card will proba- bly find the plunger on deck again. The well-known turfman, R. Van Brunt, will sell a fine-looking weanling, half- brother to his good performer Cabrillo, at | the conclusion of the sale of the yearlings owned by the estate of Colonel H. I. Thornton Tuesday evening next. The youngster’s sire is im&;. Friar Tuck, whose get show such a world of speed, and from such a good mare as Lizzie Hamp(on, can hardiy belp being a ‘“‘crackajack.” Had Garner on E. H. Shirley in_the opening race kept in close to the rail in- stead of turning wide into the stretch and taking the outside of the track, in ali like- lihood his mount’s number would have been hoisted over that of Red Glenn, The feature of the card to-day is the Horse Show Association stakes for two- year-olds at seven furlongs, worth §1500 to the first horse. The race seems a very open betting one, and a pretty contest is looked forward to. “THE CALL” RACING CHART. Ighth Day of the Paclfic Coast Jockey Club Meeting. Weather misty. Track muddy.

To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—DEAR S1R: I read in this morning’s issue of your val- uable paper the proceedings of a Manufactur- ers’ Association committée, and the writer hereof heartily concurs in the sentiments ex- pressed at that meeting by Mr. Sonntag, but I would not advocate the exclusion of the cheap labor manufactures of the Japanese, while al- lowing the importation of the manufactured articles of the Chinese, which come in lirect competition with the productions and labor of our own country. A proper tariffi—a tariff law framed and en- acted for the American people, would remedy the evils that threaten the iudustries of the | United States. A low tariff only tends to bring the laboring man down to the level of the wage- worker in the countries of the Old World. The present tariff laws were not framed in the in- terest of American manufacturers nor of American labor, but they were conceived and enacted in the interest of free-trade England. Under a high protective tariff our country was_rich an rosperous; she laborer and mechanic owned their own homes; their wives and children were well fed and well cJothed. Witheut protection to home labor and home production, the wageworker will become like unto a beast of burden. His lot will be one without & cheering hope and his future will resent nothing but a dark chaos of despair. Mr. Saroni argues that the matter of protection is entirely without the scope oi the Manuiac- tures’ and Producers’ Association, and that this association should deal alone with State and not with National problems. He asserts that such restrictions as suggested by Mr. Sonntag would put the community entirely at the merey of trusts and combinations. The €0pu1fll10n of this community and of these United States is composed largely of la- boring men, who depend entirely upon their daily wage for the support and education of their. families. Mr. Saroni fears trusts and combinations. It is not the purpose of this communmnication to discuss the advantages or the disadvantages of the various commercial trusts existing throughout our country, but were 1 & wageworker depending upon my em- ployment for my own and my children's sup- port, I would infinitely rather toil for a trust which employed large capital and reaped a large income, tban to find employment with one compelled to compete with the pauper price of labor paid to Asiatic and other cheap manufacturing countries of the world. I thin! my pay would be better from the combination than from the other Mr. Saroni is an American manufacturer, aad I wonder that he cannot see and realize the benefits to the masses arising from a high groh-cxlva tariff. It certainly cannot be possi- le that Mr. Saroni would prefer to employ the products of Asia, where labor does not com- mand more than 10 cents per diem, in the process of his own manufacture, rather than toencourage and assist in fostering a home industry which employs several hundred thousand honest American laborers. Mr. Saroni certainly would not desire to see his neighbor working from early morn until night for the small pittance of 10 cents, and yet witkout protection to our home industries, our home menuiactures, and to American labor, the low wage must be the result. No, Mr. Saroni, this country will never be pros- perous norhappy exceépt under a protective poliey. Bismarck, the greatest German statesman, said in one of his greatest speeches: ““The success of the United States in material development is the most illustrious of modern times. The American Nation has not only successfully borne and suppressed the most expensive and _gigantic war of all history, but immediately afterward it disbanded its army, found employment for all its soldiers and | marines, paid off most of its debt and gave labor and homes to all the unemployed of Europe as fast as thev could arrive within its territory, and still by a system of taxation so indirect as not to be perceived much less felt. Because 1t is my deliberate judgment that the prosperity of America is due to its system of protective laws, I urge that Germany has now reached that point where it is necessary to imitate the tariff system of the United States.” Yours truly, PROTECTIONIST.

Yet not many can say it. There are too many pitfalls, too many temptations in the path of young men, and too many of them fall. Itis to correct the error of youthful folly, and point out the happy recovery of manly vigor by his wonderful Electric Belt, that Dr. Sanden has given to the world his famous book, “Three Classes of Men.” He will send a pocket edition free, sealed, to any sufferer, or to any man who does not feel himself a man.
