THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1895. CYCLERS' CRUSADE FO R BETTER HIGHWAYS, Power of Both Wheelman and Driver to Be Felt. GOOD ROAD CONVENTION L. A. W. and Associated Clubs | Expect to Be Well Repre- sented. | COMMITTEE OF ENTHUSIASTS. ! Chairman Wynne and Secretary Mich. and Mr. Wynne are both_members of the | California Club, and as Mr. Wynne says, ‘‘are what you call road cranks.” Mr. Wynne has been prominently identi- fied with agitation for good streets in San Francisco, notably the project for the bitu- minizing of Folsom street. As soon as the committee was an- nouncea the cyclers present voiced the de- not thoroughly conversant with the labors of the individual members of the Bureau of Highways may hardly appreciate what a growing interest is being fostered throughout the State by tbeir efforts. Their work is in the furtherance of eco- nomic methods of construction, thatare to ultimately result in a system of improved modern roads second to thatof no other State in the Union and fully on a par with | the highways of Europe. i In compliance with the provisions of the act creating the bureau, the members are all absent on a tour of the various coun- | sire to have the committee place itself in communication at as early a date as con- venient with the State Bureau of High- ways. Messrs. Maude, Irvine and Man- | son receive salaries each of $3000 per annum and an appropriation of $31.000 was made to enable it to carry on its work. It | has an oflice at the Staie Capitol with E. Myron Wolfe as secretary, and nas made trips over the State already. Its e idea is the rock-crushing plant at Folsom. Among the duties under the law are the | gathering of statistics 1rom the various counties on the mileage of roa State and securing of informa h | condition, manner of construction and im- provement, how road funds are raised and what proportion of the tax levies is de- voted to road work. The bureau is also dwaysin the ion on their ener Will Begin Work at Once in Anticipation. The men of wheels are going to make a vigorous crusade for good roads. When the next Good Roads convention is held, which it is anticipated will be at San Jose either some time in February or early in March, two very important ele- ments propose to be represented in such i PART OF A MAP FROM THE L. A. WS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF WHICH WHEELMEN to coll~ct data on the topographical and | geologicai features of each county and the laws appertaining to highways. Ina sense | it is expected to undertake the task of cod- ifying the road laws, as it were, that is, it is required to classify and segregate them and suggest to the Legislature what laws might be dispensed with and wherein | those retained could be improved upon. It may, sooner or later. draw up a road law | for the State that County Supervisors and Street Supcrintendents cannot find any chuck holes in, though it is really not re- quired to submit any report before 1897. ties for the purpose of .getting statistics and data showing the total mileage of | public highways, their condition of im- | provement, titles of rgints of way and methods of keeping records of the same and the manner in which roads are con- structed and maintained. The to}\ogmpn- | ical and geological features of each county are also to be-considered, particularly with | reference to the accessibility of water for | sprinkling purposes and the deposits of | practical road-building material. Open | meetings are to be held in every county |and full information in practical road- | building is to be disseminated. In pursuance of the object Messrs. Maude and Irvine are traveling through- out the southern portions of the State, just | now. while Mr. Manson is doing the coun- ties of Sisson, Modoc, Lassen and others of the north. The first point that has been impressed particulariy upon the Commis- sioners was the loose method in which the | titles to the pnblic roads have been kept record of, and they haye imstructed the different county Supervisors to have this | remedied immediately. | To a great extent the labors of the burean | have been so far the work of a missionary booy, being advisory and not executive. The people of the State have by actual sta- tistics gathered by the Bureau expended in the neighborhood of $4,000,000 per year in alleged road improvement, but the | trouble has been that this money has been ROAD-BOOK SHOWING THE BICY AND LIVERYMEN Rorcord., o Aliurn Ruck.: \ Py M2 Harmitton CLE ROUTES OF THE BAY DISTRICT, ARE MAKING THEIR CRUSADE. numbers as shall invite respectful aiten- tion. These two eiements are the wheel- men and the liverymen. “Good roads” have been the hobby of the League of American Wheelmen, and for several years past this organization hes | taken a very active interest in legislation on the subject, but in the last convention which was at Sacramento last February, there were practically only three men rep- resenting the wheel interest, namely, chairman H. F. Wynne of the highways committee of the L. A. W. of the Northern California_division, and Thomas R. Knox and Seth Mann; in fact, Mr. Wynne was the only one who attended as the delegate of the cyclers, and that because he had been chosen by the California Associated Clubs of wi he was president. Notwiths 2 1 tion, however, a good thing fiom the point of view of the bicyclers came of the con- vention, namely: = The passage of the bill yroviding for the appointment of the State areau of Highways. The passage of this bill was due to the effective lobbying of Mr. Knox and Joseph L. Maude of River- gide. The latter, as County Surveyor of San Bernardino County, bad given the subject of good roads considerable thought, while Mr. Knox had_been for years labor- ing for the legislation recommended by the L. A. W. Governor Budd appointed as the highways commission Mr. Maude, R. C. Irvine of Sacramento and Marsden Manson of this City. The bill was practically drawn up by Mr. Maude. It was submitted to the con- vention and eagerly accepted as the par- ticular piece of legislation to which it could give unqualified indorsement. As Mr. Knox, the secretary of the convention, had been to some extent a Jo-worker with Mr. Maude in _the preparation of the bill and was largely instrumental in having the convention take it up, and finally, with Mr. Maude, saw it through the Legisla- ture, it was generally supposed he would be selected in deference to the strength of the L. A. W. as one of the Commissioners. Governor Budd saw fit to ignore the wheelmen entirely. although he had been advised by letters from Congressman Maguire and other equally prominent Democrats, todgive Mr. Knox theappoint- ment. Instead, the Governor chose Mr. Manson, the excuse he communicated to Mr. Knox in a letter of explanation being that he “thought it best not to put any lawyers on the commission. B Governor Budd’s action in this respect has generally been considered asa great mistake, considering the voting strength of the cyclers in this State. Itis said there are 25, owners of bicycles in this City alone. The man upon whom devolves the duty of calling the coming convention 1s Editor A. B. Lemmon of the Santa Rosa Republican, the chairman of the Sacramento conven- tion. He has not yet issued any cail, at least not so far as Secretary Knox has knowledge. The choice of San Jose was made at the last convention on Mr. Maude’s resolution. : ; The first step toward being effectively represented was taken at the meeting of the Northern California Division, L. A.W Saturday night, when the new com- mittee on highways and improvements was named by Chief Consul-elect Frank H. Kerrigan, the successor of Chief Con- sul Melrose. Judge Kerrigan promptly gave the chairmanship again to Vice-Con- sul H. F. Wynne, and placed on the com- mittee with him C. Michener of this City, anding this small representa- | Each county is to be visited. Itcan draw | upon State Mineralogist Crawford for any information it wants. Finally it is to give information free of cost to all who call upon it. It is of its particular character of being a buzeau of informatian on the highway question that the new league committee is about to take advantage as a preliminary | to being heard in the good-roads conven- | tion. Secretary Michener said yesterday afternoon that he would write, as soon as the committee could come together and %ree upon a course of action, to Secretary olfe of the bureau, and call for all the in- formation obtainable. Chairman Wynne observed last night that this information would at once be communicated to the press through the various cycling editors, with the suggestions and comments of the committee added, and thus, he hopes, an effective crusade, in an educational sense, will be inaugurated against impassable roads and reprehensible street work. Delegates to the good-roads convention will be chosen by the league at its next meeting, one month from last Saturday night, and the associated clubs will select theirs at their regular meeting, at the rooms of the Imperial Club in this City on the first Saturday of February. There are twenty-two clubs in the association, six- teen of which are in this City, two in Oak- land, one in Berkeley, two in San Jose and one in Petaluma. | “When General Roy Stone, who was | sent out here by the Department of Agri- | culture, was addressing last year’s conven- | tion,” observed Mr. Wynne, “‘he took oc- | casion to say that California was the only State in which he saw wheelmen with practically no representation is such gatherings. It will be different, however, this year. The politicians are fast begin- ning to consider the bicycle vste and are coming around to us, and it is a question of only a very short time when the bicycle vote will have its effect upon the highways of the State. “No man is so well posted on the charac- Unlike the driver of a horse vehicle, he is his own horse, you might say. and has to note every defect or merit of the route over which he 1s traveling. In this county its roads are really its streets.” Mr. Wynne criticized the work done by the San Francisco Street Department, and toid of one foreman who did not dare to object to bad work because another fore- man had told him he “would break his head with a shovel if he did not keep his mouth shut,” and_the man was afraid he would *lose his job” if he went to Mr. Ashworth, because the other foreman was ‘‘a pet.’ Cgief Consul Kerrigan, in discussing the political phase of the question, said the wheelmen will be able to elect their candi- date for Superintendent of Streets in this City next time. The latest roadbook of the L. A. W. shows a great deal of very beneficial work has been done in the way of a series of maps of different parts of the State, indi- cating in red the bicycle routes for the im- rovement of which the leazue is to work. fost of the surveys and measurementsand original drawings were made by Frank D. Elwell, the publisiied maps being the work of Victor Hancock. The liverymen and drivers of this City have now a very active organization which will co-operate with the wheelmen in this good roads crusade. SR Seth Mann and V.A.

The main purpose and work of the bureau has been to teach throughout the various counties scientific methods of good roads building and care of highways. At their meetings they have summoned | the county Supervisors, Surveyors and | Auditors to be present and these gather- ings have been of great value. These offi- | cials have been urged to exercise the | same judgment in building and maintain- }ing roads that they would bestow upon their private interests. The Commissioners have pointed out the advisability of constructing a few miles of permanent roadbed from time to time | as the funds would ailow instead of at- tempting to patch up a number of poor | roads, but the main difficulty they have | had to contend with has been to impress | upon the Supervisors the absolute neces- | sity of taking care of the roads after they were built. The popularity which has been attained by the bicycle as a means of locomotion throuchout the State has greatly helped the Commissioners in their work. The | principal object in creating the burean was | to materially reduce the cost of transporta- tion of agricultural products to railway points, but the growing demand for me- | chanical road vehicles that travel without | animal aid, which have been found so aa- vantageous on_the magnificent highways of Europe, will assure the completion ultimately, it is hoped, of a connected | system of macadamized and bituminized | thoroughfares throughout tne length and breadth of this State. Another important | adjunct will be the completion of the rock- | crushing plant at Folsom, which will con- | tribute an abundance of road material at a | merely nominal figure. | WILLING TO .SEE DURRANT. Dr. Gibson’s Sermon Last Evening Was “ Thirsting After God.” “Iam quite willing to visit Durrant,” | said Dr. George Gibson last evening. “The only thing that wonld prevent such a proceeding on my part is the attitude of Durrant hirself. It has been suggested that I visit him, and I offered to do so, but I have understood that he is not de- sirous of a visit from me. Whether I shall 8o or not rests, of cour se, with him.”” Dr. Gibson’s sermon was from the forty- second psalm, “My soul thirsteth for God.” He explained how men’s thirst for | God sometimes arose from outward cir- cumstances, and how God molded de- sires by these circumstances. Thirst also arose from inward conditions—the nature THEIR EYES ON BUCKLEY, The Fire Department Men Likely to Mix in Primary Politics, MAXWELL ON THE SITUATION. He Declares That the Investigation Is Merely an Empty Politi- cal Move. The Fire Department oflicials profess to be in no wise alarmed over the general an- ticipation of interesting developments in the final phases of the Grand Jury investi- gation. Notwithstanding the seriousness of the situation from the viewpoint of nearly everybody on the outside, the offi- cers of the institution itself proclaim more loudly than ever that things have been conducted properly, and that no defects of management present themselves for cen- sure. “We have absolutely nothing to fear from the investigation,”” said George Max- well, the Fire Commissioners’ secretary, vesterday. *I have no idea what may de- velop within the next week, but so far as the management of the department is con- cerned we are safe. The whole thing is only a preliminary skirmish by the Buck- ley people, and is essentially a part of the vigorous effort being made to get the de- partment into his hands again and into politics. We have been out of politics for a good while now,and have progressed ad- mirably. We want to keep out, and we propose to go as far as respectable meas- ures will permit to attain our end. “It is a matter of self-preservation with the members of the Fire Department. There has been no secrecy about the efforts we have made to muster our triends and gain & majority for the de- partment’s safety in the district clubs. T | have seen all of my friends and asked them to help us. ery other man has done likewise, and in doing so we have not gone beyond the limit to which qur privileges e3 “I cannot say with any degree of cer- tainty how far the department may go in the matter, but, for my part, if the occa- sion seems to require it 1 shall participate as actively as any citizen in the aff airs | which precede the general election. 1 be- lieve that my right to do so is just as in- alienable as that of any one else, notwith- | standing that the department regulations | forbid it. The rule 18 certainly a very | necessary one. It has been of much gond ever since its.operation, but the depart- | ment emplo; might easily question its justness.” They will never do that, but may merely pass the rule over if the occa- sion demands. “There has been a lot of talk about the department going into politics again, and the officers in it have had all sorts of cen- sure and abuse heaped upon them without | the slightest reason. The people ought to understand that the Fire Department :s doing 1ts utmost at this moment to keep out of politics. Buckley and that crowd are the people who hope to make a politi- cal concern of it. They are exerting them- | selves everywhere to secure complete con- | trol, turn the department into a political machine and eventually reduce it to the condition in which it was when Buckley had it a few years ago. “If the Fire Department has anything to do with political matters, it will be for the i sole purpose of savine itself from political | influences in the future. It will be a case of going into politics in order to keep ont of politics. Itis rather eariy to say what we may do. “One thing is certain. We do not pro- pose to see Mr. Buckley take us in hand if we have anything to say or do about it. You see,, the department has nearly a thousand men who are available iz a fight like this and this number could make things very interesting at primary elec- tions. I do not anticipate that Buckley will come anywhere near success in the direction of the Fire Department, but he is working hurd and we are losing no time ourselves.” _Mr. Maxwell's exrlannion of the finan- cial operations of the department, which are now being considered by the Grand Jury, was variously criticized about town yesterday. Many of the features of it were accepted without question, but there were others about which considerable doubt was expressed. | In the matter of harness-makers at the | Corporation Yard Mr. Maxwell had de- clared that there were only two instead of three. The statement wasthen made that one Isador Gurdemez, engineer of Chem- | $3. ical No. 4, had been working at harness in the yard before the Grand Jury began its work, and after a cautious intermission went back again a few days ago. There are two regularly employed harness-makers in the yard, but critics of the department assert that Gurdemez was put at harness- making in order to make a place for a sub- stitute engineer on the chemical at the tune of $80 a month. 3 “That’s some more nonsense,” said Sec- retary Maxwell when asked to explain it. “Gurdemez 1s an experienced harness- maker, and when he was needed at the yard he spent some of his time there. He ‘only received an engineer’s salary and had no substitute, the three remaining men being a sufficient force for an engine in the residence district. *‘Of course these criticisms of my expla- nation come from Buckley, and Willey, who represents ‘the ex-boss. But there is absolutely nothing in them. We pay $250 a month for the shoeing of every horse, and if we paid less the work could not be done satisfactorily. The shoes we get are handmade and are of the best ma- terial. Moreover, the contractor is obliged to replace thrown or defective shoes, and | he must be ready at all times to do it. That is why $2 50 is paid, and it is reason- able enoug?\ for the service. It used to be Our bills for harness are lower than they ever were before. As a rule expenses have generally been reduced. 1 wish some of these over-enthusiastic critics would look into matters more carefully before they open up. They might not mix their figures with such deplorable frequency. The Fire Department is all right. All we want is a fair show.” THE UNSPEAKABLE TURK, Better the Despotism of Russia Than Mohammedan An- archy. Rev. William Rader’s Address on the Causes of the Armenian Troubles. Rev. William Rader, pastor of the Third Congregational Church, spoke last evening ou the Armenian tragedy. He said: The responsive unity of the world makes it impossible for Americans in general and Con- gregationalists in particular to overlook the ies of Asiatic Turkey. The sense of the s brotherhood has been touched by the tragedy now being enacted in the dis- t scéne of the tragedy is in Armenia, which lies south of Russia, west of Persia and north of Syria. This is an ancient land and the scene of great events in the world’s re- ligious history. It is watered by the historic Euphrates and Tigris and on its highest mount rested Noah's ark. It has been & field of great battles. It is esti- mated that 15,000 Armenians have perished, and women and children have been carried to the forests by the robber bands of mountain Kurds. These massacres are due to the politi- cal and religious status of affairs. The Sultan is the political head—a fanatical Mussulman, feariess of the Christian powers, and with the will of a tyrant. He 1s politically responsible for these massacres. B The Armenians claim a Christian’ ancestry- and date the claim_as far back as the first cen tury. Gregory the Illuminator properly founded the native church in 302. is suc- sors took the title of Patriarch, later of tholics, and are appointed by the Bishop. Until 491 the Arménian church was a part of the Greek church, from which its doctrines slightly differ. In 1831 the American Board founded its first mission. The present perse- cutions are inspired by the yellow flag of Mohammed. Under this the Turk has resisted the cross for thousands of years. He seized the land of Christ and lifted his crescent toward the stars. The Turk hates the cross. He hates the Ameri- can Board. For hundreds of years he has dis- turbed Europe. He belongs to the middle ges. An alien in race, language, culture, re- igion and social institutions, he should be suppressed. Government to him means ““des- pitism tempered by assassination,” and he nows nothing of popular sovereignty. The evidence of a Christian is not good in a Mo- hammedan court of law. The present status is this: On the north lies the world’s greatest territorial nation, Russia, with a range of clhimate including the rein- deer in the north and the camel in the south, with a population twice that of America. For hundreds of years she has watched for the key of the East which dangles at the sword of the Turk—Constantinople. This would give her full control of the Black Sea and the Mediter- ranean. On the other hand is England, who has cut & pathway to India. Her relation is commercial. England watches Russis, and Russia looks with suspicion upon England. The next step is for Russia to send her soldiers to the hill slopes of the Black Sea, in the name of humanity, and for England to send her war- ships up the Dardanelles, reflrdleu of treaty. Let Russia control Constautinople even if she must send the Turk to Siberis, and let Ameris back both these powers in the name of Jesus Christ and human rights if she must send an army to Constantinople. Better have Russian despotism than Turkish anarchy. B T e The Firebell.

Ed Hovey's Fine Bunch of Punctures. National Guardsmen Make Good Records. F. 0. Youngand Ed Hovey of the Co- lumbia Pistol and Rifle Club were at the Shell Mound shooting range experiment- ing on a new pattern of target that may be adopted by the club next year. The im- provement on the standard target is that the black and white shall be so arranged as to make the sights clearer and the bulls- eye less tiresome to the eyes, especially in matches where long strings of shots are fired. The results proved very satisfac- tory. Young with his pistol, and without any extra effort, ran a number of strings of ten shots and made excellent scores. Accord- ing to the standard target in use at pres- ent his scores would have been between 92 and 98, Hovey’s experiments were with a 22-cal- iber ritle and the long Winchester cart- ridge. With this sporting piece bulls- eyes were easily made, and on a number of runs he scored 100 points according to the standard rules. The target upon which the shooting was done was only five inches in diameter. One string of ten shots, as seen by the accompanying cut, shows that the majority of the bullets were bunched within a circle of an_inch and a quarter around the center. Only one shot dropped so far as an inch and three-quarters berow Ed Hovey’s Fine Score. the center. All of these shots would have counted ten points on an ordinary ring target such as the Columbias now use. 1t is not claimed that the marksmen are made any more proficient, but that the ef- fects of light and shade on the new targets gives them an opportunity to do their best without tiring their eyes. The threatening aspect of the weather kept many of the military riflemen away from the range, but there were a few who would have come even if it had been rain- ing and freezing at the same time. Con- sidering the cold wind and benumbed nands the following scores make a good showing: Company F, Fifth Regiment, Oakland, monthly medal shoot—Corporal Harvey 39, Carney 35, J.

The polo grounds at the Hobart farm, near San Mateo, were the scene of a hotly contested polo game yesterday afternoon. The two teams were composed of splendid players, so well matched in every regard that the contest became one of superior skill and maneuvering rather than of greater strength and endurance. To the ponies, too, was due much credit for the closeness of the game. The game was called at 3 o’clock. one side were Joe Tobin and Messrs. Law- son, Simpkins and Thomas. On the other side were Walter Hobart and Messrs. Bald- win, Wheeler and R. M. Tobin. There were three goes of fifteen minutes each. They resulted eventually in a victory for the first-named team by a score of 3 to 2. The game from the beginning was played with rushing tactics. Both sides wanted to win, and they worked hard for victory. It was nip and tuck throughout the entire time the ball was in play. The very even- ness with which the teams were matched made their exertions all the greater, and it was not till the very last that the game was conceded to Joe Tobin and his fellows. ———————— It is estimated that the number of He- brews in London 1s about 100,000 6r 120,000.
