14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1895. WWOULD GIVE THE DEVIL A FAIR TRIAL Major Sherman Accepts the Appointment of Rev. D. M. Ross. SAYS HE IS UNBIASED. Has Not Read the Controversy Between Rev. Mr. Ross and Father Yorke. THE FINAL TEST AT HAND. Probability That There Soon Will| Be a Show Down of the Con- | tention at Issue. | There is & strong probability that the | contentions of the Rev. Father Yorke and the Rev. Donald M. Ross over certain questions of Catholic doctrine will soon be put to the crucibie. r Sherman of Oakland has accepted prointment of Rev. D. M. Ross to act as umpire in the place of Attorney Quit- zow, who withdrew, because W. W. Foote said very plainly that ne would not sit on the board with any person who belonged I | count. The Prince of Naples, only son of King Humbert, is a delicate, somewhat dissipated young man, and in the event of his death, the next heir to the throne would be the Duke of Aosta. The Duke degh Abruzzi is stepson of that froliccome Princess Letitia, who is constantly bringing down on her skittish head the reproofs of her august relations for her inconventionality. Not that any | members of the house of Savoy are par- | ticularly austere. King Humbertisa jovial, democratic sort of man, who is the first to lend a helping and encouraging hand if there is a fire, a panic, an_epidemic of cholera or any other public disaster. Itis | said that his nephews resemble him in this respect more than does his son. L'Italia of last night states that the Italian Chamber of Commerce has re- solved to tender a banquet to the Duke and the other officers of the Cristoforo | Colombo, and active preparations are | already being made in the Italian colony } to give them a fitting welcome. THEIR FIRST BALL. Successful Social Event at B’nai B’rith Hall of the San Francisco Mili- tary Band. The San Francisco Military Band held its first ball at B'nai B'rith Hall last even- ing. The auditorium was tastefully decorated with pink and Nile green bunt- ing and the National colors. The music for dancing was furnished by the hosts of the evening, and to its merry strams dancing was continued until well into the morning. The committees having the affair in charge were composed as follows : Arrangements—Hugo Lund, P. H. Scow, Angust Lill and H. D. Anderson; floor—George | Batcher, Lenard Plantz and Bob Thompson; i L2 s 7 / :|-'1'% 9., / ‘//',o/,»f’ 7 7 EDWIN A, [From a p SHERMA! hotograph.] Protective Association. terence between the two they can agree rincipals in th to the proofs in support of their respective posi- tions. I am not an A I wou ive the dev ir trial. So 1 think I am gualified to act on this ques- tion. *So far I have not been interrsted in the controversy between Father Yorke and Mr. Ross, nor had I the least idea that the latter gentleman would, until he com- municated with me this morning, selec me to act for him. I thick it unfortunate that so much publicity has been given to the matter before the men who are to form the committee were chosen, but of course that cannot now be helped, and I am sure the decision will be a just one. This ques- tion will not be settled by our judgment, however. “Since the Reformation these discus- sions of one kind or another have raged between Catholic and Protestant, between priest and minister and the followers of each, and it will always be so; but there is no doubt that one or other of the men engaged in the discussion is wrong, and if it is a question of deciding which it is that holds this position certainly men un- biused toward either side should be' able to do so justly. “While a man cannot help forming opinions for his own guidance, when it comesto a case of documentary evidence or proof he could not but be fair. The truth in such a case could not but be plain to him. ©T am very slightly acquainted with Mr. Ross. So he could only have selected me as a man whom he deemed capable of act- ing fairly in the matter. I havenever met Mr. Foote, and, of course, cou!d not sug- gest a man to act as the third party on the committee until & meeting for that pur- pose had been arranged between us. My own idea, however, would be that a man of 60 years or more of age should be chosen, a man of acknovledged integrity of char- acter and one who would not wish or hope to gain anything politically or in his prac- tice by acting in this capacity. A man of these years would probably have made his mark in life, and would also be of sound and mature judgment. For obvious reasons I should also think it would be well to choose a man who lives neither in San Francisco nor Oakland.” Major Sherman isa pioneer of California, having come here in 1849. He is a veteran of the Mexican war, and also served in the ‘War of the Rebeltion. He is a prominent thirty-third-degree Mason, and has served as secretary of the veteran lodge for several vears. Althoueh admitted to the bar, he js not best known as a lawyer, having given the greater part of his time to the work of the Masons. KING HUMBERTS NEPHEW. An Italian Royalty Who Will This City Next Month. As announced some months ago in Tre Cary, this City will soon receive a visit from the Duke degli Abruzzi, nephew of Visit the King of Italv and son of the late | Amedeo, ex-King of Spain. The Italian Consul, Cavalieri F. Bruni- Grimaldi, has officially announced that the Italian warship Cristoforo Colombo, on which the Duke degli Abruzzi is mak- ing a tour of the world, will arrive in this port some time between the 20th and the 25th of next month.

Was a Sufferer From Consumption, and It Is Thought He Went Back East to Die. Ed Sullivan, an employe of the Risdon Iron Works, has neither been seen nor heard of since last Thanksgiving day. On that day he left an acquaintance at the foot of Market street, saying he was going to Rodeo. After a week or ten days had passed in- quiries were made and word was received irom Rodeo that Sullivan had not been there. It was then feared he had been the victim of foul play, but later on it was as- | certained that instead of stopping at Rodeo he had continued East on a ticket for Syra- cuse, N. He was suffering from consumption, and his friends can see no motive for his de- parture for the cold climate unless he had the idea that he would die anyway and wished to be at his old home. Sullivan was a gentle, manly fellow, but rather reserved and possessed but few intimate friends. John Crawford foreman hoilerman of the iron works, takes his friend’s depar- ture very seriously to heart. He cannot conceive how Sullivan could have left without so much as saying good-by when he was Sullivan’s only real friend on the coast, and one who loved him like a brother. “I have known the boy,” said he, “and have taken & brotherly interest in him for longer than seven years. *He worked under me in the East for five years, and was a skillful boilerman, and was always liked and respected wher- ever he was. Two years ago we came to this coast, and until now we have kept together. “Shortly after we came here he con- tracted a severe cold and never seemed to recover from it. He went to a physician and was told he had consumption, This worried him a gre#t deal, and he began to fail in health very rapidly. I bad made arrangements to send him to Arizona to take charge of some work there. I thought the climate would benefit him. Thanks- giving he was to have taken dinner at my nouse, but he did not put in an appearance that day, and so we ate our turkey with- out him. “I was told by Tom Madden, a work- man in the shop, that Sullivan had slept at_his house Wednesday night and had said that he would be obliged to go to Rodeo to arrange about getting some tools down .ere that belonged to him. | “Madden went with him to the ferries, supposing him to be on the way to Rodeo. “‘He might have told me that he was go- ing away. It seems to me he must be wanting in some kind of manly spirit. Why couldn’t he have come and said: ‘John, I am going KEast.” Why, then I would have said, *All right,” and would have put him on the train. “The landlady where we board told me that the boy had spoken several times about going back East; that he believed he was going to die very soon and wanted to die there, and that he was afraid to tell me because he might break down and bring on a hemorrnage, which would hasten his death.” 1t was learned at the ferries that a ticket | was purchased Jast Thanksgiving over the Sunset limited by 8 man named Sullivan. The agent even noticed his sickly appear- ance. Sullivan had closed up his affairs "bere before he leit. He is a single man and has two sisters and a father living in Syracuse. A LABOR VICTORY. Important Decision That Workingmen Need Not Accept Time-Card Pay- ments for Cash. A victory has been won in the San Fran- cisco courts for the workingmen. Several years ago large corporations, such as lumber companies, contractors, etc., adopted the system of paying their men with time-checks of thirty, sixty or ninety days’ duration, as it suited their pleasure. In a few places these time- checks or certificates of money due were accepted by storekeepers and brokers at a discount, but as a rule the paper was of no use except to the possessor and his em- ployer. In orderto ‘‘accommodate” the laborer the employers cashed their own time- checks, but always at a heavy discount. The average laborer was obliged to get the | ready money, even if he lost ten to twenty per cent on the check by discounting, and in this way large corporations, by dis- counting their own paper, were able tn cheat employes out of hundreds of dollars. At last the State took up the matter and passed a law making it compulsory for corporations to pay their employes in cash on stated days of the week or month. Like many laws, this became a dead let- ter, and the time-check system was soon in operation all oyer the Etate again. It was not until recently that the matter was taken into court, and the laborer won a victory. A man named St. Germain ob- tained a situation working in Blochman & Cerf's I X L Lime Company at Fel- ton. When $4575 was due him, he re- ceived instead a time check, which he was unable to cash. so he went to an attorney and sued for his wages. The case was be- fore Justice Barry, who promptly decided that the presentation and acceptance of the time check was not a payment of the debt owed St. Germain by Blochman & Cerf. The latter appealed from the de- | cision of Justice Barry to the Superior Court. A few days ago Judge Troutt heard the case, and sustained Justice Barry's de- cision. The defendants will now have to . Germain his full wages, the labor- ttorney’s fees and the cost of the ac- tion, as provided by the statutes of 1891, ) SID TLE OF THE S James Nixen Was Washed Over- board and Sank Just as Help Arrived. Daring Attempt at Daylight Robbery From the Schooner Kodiak. One of the crew of the schooner Kodiak was lost under very sad circumstances during the last voyage. He was washed off the bowsprit, but managed to keep afloat until the boat was within a few feet of him. Just as the captain was ready to grasp him he sank and never came up again. The Kodiak sailed from San Francisco 7 last. Heavy weather was on October 27 experienced from the start, but about the middle of November it had calmed down to a steady breeze, although a high sea was running. John Nixen, a voung Eng- lishman, aged about 26 years, went out on the jib-boora to furl the flying-jib. It was a cold day and hc had a heavy overcoat and all bis oilskins on over his ordinary clothing. Suddenly the schooner buried her nose in a big sea and when she recov- ered Nixen was gone. Capiain Petersen at once launched a boat, and leaving the mate in charge, went after the drowning man himself. It could not have been more than seven or eight minutes before they were almost alongside of him, but just as Petersen prepared to seize hold of him he went down like a stone. The chances are that his heavy clothes and his rubber boots served as weights to carry him down. Captain Petersen says that the weather during the trip was very peculiar. On the way up it was a case of head seas and heavy gales. On the way down it was a succession of li-ht winds and calms. At Kodiak for the first time in years there was no snow and the weather was delight- ful. Everrthing was quiet at the can- neries when the schooner sailed. When the Kodiak docked at Howard- street wharf yesterday several casks of codfish containing about 200 pounds each were hoisted on to the wharf. No one was left to watch them, and as a consequence one of ther was soon missing. It was one of the most barefaced attempts at daylight robbery ever seen on the water front. ‘When there was no one in sight on the schooner’s deck a man who afterward gave | his name as Jim Sullivan walked up to one of the barrels and knocking it on its | side deliberately rolled it up the wharf. | He pushed it along in an unconcerned manner and at the same time puffed away at a short clay pipe. When the donkey- encgine standing alongside the ship York was between him and the schooner he turned the barrel on end and walked up the wharf. He only went_ across East street, however, and seeing J. White’s ex- press on the corner he engaged him to take the codlish to Tehama street. The barrel was loaded on the wagon and it was driving slowlv off when one of the Custom-house officers, suspecting that something was wrong, stop[i:d them. Sullivan said the codfish had been given him by one of the crew, who owed him some money, and told the expressman to | drive on. The latter refused to do so and officers Dillon and Dowd of the Harbor Police were summoned. The mate of the schooner was also sentfor and when he MB.WISE SR, EXPLAINS The Collector Talks Harry’s Warehouse Venture. of AT CORNELL TOGETHER. His Son and Mr. Sanborn Went to the Same Seat of Learning, THE WAREHOUSEMEN MAY ACT Robert Woods Determined to Have an Inquiry Into His Successor’s Partnership. Robert J. Woods, the warehouseman, who says he was supplanted by William B. Sanborn and young Harry Wise in the proprietorship of the Vallejo-street United States bonded warehouse and who threat- ens to ask Secretary Carlisle for an official investigation, proposes to go about it in a methodical way. ngz he wants is an inquiry into the particular modus operandi by which the son of the Collector of Customs managed to become a copartner of Mr. Sanborn. _He has been too busy, he said last night, since he lost his warehouse to have a for- mal statement prepared for the Treasury Department, but in a few days he expects to be able to get around to it. Mr. Woods does not propose to act alone. His plan will be, if it can be carried out, to have the warehousemen of this port co- operate with him as far as possible and as a result of concerted action communicate with Grover Cleveland’s right-hand man at Washington. “Lread the statement in THE CALL,’’ he remarked, ‘“‘and it was all right. What was stated was true. I think I wiil be able to go around to my friends and in- duce them to take part with me in this matter soon. The fact is this proceeding on the part of the customs authorities con- cerns, virtually, every one of us. We may get together and have a proper statement prepared for Washington. “Personally [ have nothing against John H. Wise himself, but I think young Harry is a little too fresh.” There is a story going the rounds of the Custom-house that some time ago a certain warehouseman went to Collector Wise and advised him not to take any action to prevent his son from going into the business. The warehouseman argued to the Collector, 1t is said, that it would be a very good thing for all the other ware- houses for Harry to go in, as he had learned that Harry proposed to organize and systematize the entire warehouse busi- ness of the City and present a plan by which each warehouse would get its pro- portionate share of the goods im ported. #Collector Wise does not deny this, but he disclaims any official compromise on his part. He explained his position in the matier yesterday thusly: The young man Sanborn and my son Harry were educated together at Cornell. Idid not know anything about their partnership until the pnFers were drawnup by Judge Stanly. Then Isaid thatif Ihad known aboutit I would have prevented it. Not thatI thought there was anything wrongin the matter, but Ifelt thatit might excite adverse comment among those who do not know all the circum- stances. Even after the nlr!nershf’p had been fully consummated I was inclined. and intended, to dissuade Harry from continuing it, but some of his friends who are interested in the ware- house business came to me and I was induced by their representations and arguments to de- fer action in that direction. As to my personally favoring any particular warehouse, there is nothing at all in that. I have not been in Chinatown for four months in an official capacity, and I know nothing about the warehousemen as individ- uals. All I do is to see that the reports are regular. In one sense I am rather glad that THE CaALL bastaken the matter up, so that it may be fully ventilated and eventually understood clearly thatthere has not been any official com- promise on my part. I feel that I can satisfac- torily explain my connection with the matter. Mr. Wise’s chief clerk, Edward B. Je- rome, voluntarily prepared a statement yesterday for publication of the Sanborn & Wise incident. Following is the state- ment: In justice to Collector Wise, and in reference to the article this day printed in THE CaLL, relative to Harry Wise beingin the bonded warehouse business, I deem it incumbant on me to make the following statement of facts, expeclull{ in view of the statement in the ar- ticle published: On September 20, 1895, Mrs. Elizaveth B, Sanborn, proprietor of the premises known as the Vallejo-street warehouse—and which were then bonded as a warehouse, class 3, in the name of R.J Woods as principal—notified tnis office in writing that, the leass of Mr. Woods having expired, she would at a future day take EO!SQ!!!OH of her premises and re-lease them to er son, William B. Sanborn. In view of this, William B. Sanborn was allowed to execute a bond as prescribed by the regulations of the Treasury Department, which bond was, on the 26th of September, forwarded to the depart- ment at Washington forapproval. On October 3, 1895, the department returned the bond approved, but Mr. Sanborn notified this office that he did not desire to assume control of the warehouse until November 1, 1895. Meanwhile Mr. Woods, accompanied by his attorney, called on Coliector Wise and pro- tested against the proceeaings, stating that his leuse had not expired, and he was then in- formed that no effort would be made to install Mr. Sanborn as proprietor until he and Mrs, Sanborn came to mutual arrangements. With this Mr. Woods’ attorney expressed himself as about November 15, 1895, Mr. Sanborn came into this office and showed me a written agree- ment entered into by Mrs. Sanborn and R. J. Woods, signed by the attorneys of both by which it ‘was stipulated that Mr. Sanborn chould have possession of the premises on De- cember 1, and instructions were therefore issued to Deputy Coliector Tobin to regard Mr, Sanborn after that date as the proprietor of the warehouse. 1t will be seen from this that the transac- tion, 0 far as this office is concerned, was en- tirely regular, and that the p.emises had been rebonded in the name of W. B. Sanborn before Mr. Sanborn was acquainted .with either Col- lector Wise or his son Harry, and that, as & matter of record, S8anborn is the sole proprietor of the warehouse as the lessee of his mother, and that Harry Wise is not, so far as this office is officially aware, connected with the ware- house. What grivnw arrangements young Sanborn and Harry Wise may have had after the above events were entered into I do not know, and I only heara incidentally that they had made one. I was informed by Deputy Collector Tobin that aiter he had been notified that Sanborn was to take possession on December 1 strenu- ous endeavors were made by Mr. Woods to get the owners of the goods in” the warehouse to transfer them to other warehouses, that a certain party even went so far as to pre- sent forged requests for transfer, and that representations were made to the Chinese having goods in the warehouse that it would ciose on December 1, as an inducement for them to transfer their goods. E. B. JEROME, Special Deputy Collector. The placing of the consignment of Henry being satisfled, stating that was sl they wanted and was fair. Up to this time young Mr. Sanborn had not seen_Collector Wise, nor was he acquainted with Harry Wise, and ma ters stood thus for some time, and in the in- terim ! introduced young Sanborn to Collector Wise, and knowing that he and Harry Wise were both graduates of Cornell, sent him arrived said the codfish was Captain Peter- sen’s private property and was Foing to the Alaska Commercial Company’s ware- house. He refused positively to swear to a complaint against Sullivan, so the offi- cers had nothing to do but turn him loose. Had it not been for the vigilance of the Custom-house officer the chances are that the barrel of codfish would now be on sale in a Tenama-street grocery. PATENT back, flat opening ledgers, journals, Company, 22 Clay street, are all right. FIRE ON OFARRELL STREET. Three Buildings Damaged to the Ex- tent of $1500. The alarm from box 178 at6:15 last even- ing was fora fire which destroyed $1500 worth of property on O’Farrell street. The fire started at 1613, in a wood and coal yard in the rear of a two-story frame building, owned and occupied by W. M. Haynes. The rear portion of the building was gutted, damaging it to the extent of $1000. The flames communicated to the buildings on either side, at 1611 and 1615, doing $300 worth of damage to the former and $200 worth to the latter. The pro) erty at 1611 was owned and occupied E; George McHenry as a stable for the San Carlos dairy. That at 1615 was owned and occupied by Lang Bros. also as a stable. The cause of the fire is unknown, but is supposed to have been due to spontaneous combustion of the coal where it originated. ———— WAVE crest ware, onyx tables, plano and banquet lamps, etchings, engravings, photo- graphs and medallion pictures in Florentine frames make Christmas presents that any one will be giad to receive.

KOHLER & CHASE, 26-30 O’FARRELL ST. e e ] Doyle & Co. in the Vallejo-sireet bonded warehouse was also explained by their bro- ker, Charles E. Heise, yesterday in the fol- lowing communication to the Collegtor: SAN FrANcIsco, Dec. 14, 1895, Dear Sir: I deem it my duty to make the fol- lowing statement of facts in regard to a certain statement made in an article which appeared in this morning’s CALL, viz.: That certain goods consigned to Henry Doyle & Co. of this “ity, arriving here by steamer from Victoria, were sent to the Vallejo-street unclaimed ware- house with undue haste. The actual facts are as follows: Before the arrival of the goods the invoice was submitted to me, and found to be erroneously certified to by the United States Consul at Victoria as be- ing for goods of American manufacture, whereas they were of foreign manufacture and origin. There was also another error_in the invoice. For these reasons Mr. Doyle con- cluded to return the invoice to Victoria for correction. Pending the return of the invoice back to this port the goods hed to be sent to the Un- claimed Warehouse, as they were of great value. In the interests and by request of Mr. Doyle I made an application to you in writing for Messrs. Henry Doyle & Co., a5 their customs attorney, to have these goods sent to the Vallejo Unciaimed Warehouse in advance of the general order takiug effect, the Vallejo- street warehouse being the warehouse desig- nated for all unclaimed merchandise arriving from Victoria by steamers. The steamer Umatilla, in which these goods were imported, arrived here November 27, 1 and the merchandise was sent to the U imed Warehouse November 30, 1895— three days after arrival of the steamer. Very respecttully, CHas. E. HEISE, Customs Attorney for Henry Doyle & Co. To Hon. John H. Wise, Collector of Customs. Mr. Jerome’s statement explains the details of the proceeding by which Mr. Sanborn became the tenant of his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth B. 8anborn, but it does not snns!}' Mr. Woods as to the fact of Harry Wise’s present actual copartnership with Mr. Sanborn. Mr. Woods sees tiat, on the one hand, Harry is a partner with his father, the Collector, in the firm of Christy & Wise, and, on the other, he is a partner with’ Mr. Woods’ successor, Mr. Sanborn, in the Vallejo-street United States bonded warehouse. Just how the two may work together in the eyes of Secretary Carlisle is what Mr. Woods is anxious to learn. Edwin Danforth of the Broadway ware- house admitted yesterday that there is a vrospect of the warehousemen coming together and acting in concert on a demand for an official inquiry, but the initiative step, hesaid, was incumbent upon Mr. Woods, and if the warehousemen acted at all they would do so in response to Mr. Woods’ request.
