10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1895. JO KING, REFORMER, His Most Ludicrous "At- tempt to Pose as a Moralist. WAS LAUGHED TO SCORN. Even the Members of the Solid Eight Seem Greatly Amused. BOMBASTIC SPEECHES MADE. In a Fit of Purity He Asks the Grand Jury to Investigate *“The Caill” and Examiner. “Joe" King, saloon-keeper, reformer and purist, made a desperate effort at yester- day’s meeting of the Board of Supervisors to divert the attention of the Grand Jury from himself and his fellow-members of id Rizht by an attack on THE CaLL aud Examiner, which have been instru- mental in calling many queer-looking ac- tic to the notice of that body, but he only succeeded in making himself ridiculous. Since the Grand Jury investigation be- gan King has lost his jaunty air and has at times been extremely preoccupied and startled when suddenly slapped on the shoulder. It may be that his action of\ yesterday emulation of the old crimi- nal trick of yelling *‘stop thief” when pur- ed and then joining in the pursuit of an ary fleeing robber. At any rate he made what, in the purlieus of his\ own Barbary Coast district, would be termed ndy bluff The idea of “*Joe’’ King posing as a re- former and pointing out the evils of others too much for even Messrs. Scully, amin, Hirsch, Hughes, Dunker, Mor- genstern and Wagner,§jor their looks of wonder turned to expressions of the keen- est amusement, and théir guffaws drowned the halting voice of King as he strave to pressions to convey his meaning. pervisor King was noticeably nervous during the s He made fre- quent trips to the corridor, presumably for inspiration, and was in a highly excited state when resolutions were called for. With a pompous wave he handed the bailiff three documents, and sat with de- rred to the disorderly houses on and St. Mary’s streets. Itre- ed that the District Attorney be ed to define the powers of the board in ton to the houses on the streets named ; ible they should be closed anda driven hence. After some ussion it was carried, though some of ining members of the Solid Eight skance at King, as though ques- tioning his sanity. One member was so dazed that he voted against the combina- tion, though he hastily changed his ““no”’ to “aye” when his attention was called to it by ome of his colleagues. A resolution was then read caling upon ibe Grand Jury to request the presence of the editors of THE CaLL and Examiner be- fore that body. It recited that section 317 of the Penal Code makes the publishing of advertise- ment, of irregular praciitioners a felon ana that the inducing of persons to vi disorderly houses by any invention or de- vice is punishabie as a misdemeanor. The resolution continued by stating that both sapers had repeatedly published adver- t sements relatipg to these matters in de- ance of the law and clippings were in- serted to bear out the statement; th: the subject was one which might properly be brought to the attention of the Grand Jury and that the Board of Supervisors was the proper body to perform that func- tion. The resolution, from its style, was evi~ dently not drawn up by King, considera- ble gift of language being evidenced in 1its competition. Nor dia the Supervisor at- tempt to support it with hisown language. The page of typewritten thoughts which he read with all the bombast of a barn- siorming tragedian was evidently entirely unfamiliar to him and he halted and stammered and repeated until the effort became absolutely painful to his auditors. But their pain ‘did not prevent their risibilities from coming into play,and a roar of laughter, which even the chair- man’s gavel, vigorously applied to the desk, could not stop. Joe King turned reformer! . Ha, ha, ha! And then the humor of the incident took a firmer hold than ever and everybody roared again. The ludicrous side of the situation semed to strike even the reader, for his face broke into a fierce grin and he hesitated a moment to glare at the scoffers. His temper was close to his sense of humor, however, for when his face relaxed he abandoned his purchased manuscript and thundered, with a grandiloquent flourish of hisarm: ““Them papers has no right to publish such things—it’s agin the law. It’s a dis- gmce to the fair name of San Francisco. Mr. Chairman, your Honor, we must see to them things and put a stop to it.”’ Then he tried to refer again to the manuscript, but his own and the bor- rowed thoughts did not seem to connect and he sat down suddenly. Another thought, probably the one that has bothered him for some time past, seemed to strike him and he was on his feet in an instant. ““This Grand Jury have paid too much attention to the Supervisors,” he said. “Let them look after them newspapers I have spoke about some.” “You seem to desire to divert the atten- tion of the Grand Jurv,” said Chairman Taylor mildly, and the incident closed with the adoption of the resolution by the united vote of the Solid Bight. The reformer’s third resolution put the rebuilding and equipping of the old City Hall into the hands of the Solid J It provided that the m taken out of the hands of the standing Committee om Public Baildings and Grounds, to which it would Taye gone in the ordinary course of events, and cr nding Committee on Municipal s, composed of Mesers. Benjamin, Wagner, Hirsch, King and Spreckels. The latter was doubtless putin to lend a tone to the committee, and as the ma- jority rules in committees he will be' powerless to stay the operations of the rest. Supervisor Dimond protested that to take the_matter out of the hands of the Public Buildings Committee in such a manner was an insult, but the Solid Eight was in favor of the measure and it car- ried. Saloon-keeper Wagner, another member of the Solid Eieht, also betrayed a fear of the Grand Jury in a remark made regard- ing the recently proposed Heopposed the measure when it came up Ioer'&Suge to print, saying: “That ordinance was put up by the Grand Jury. The jury thinks 1 going to run this board, and we ought to put a stop to that.” The order went to print, however, and will come up for final passage at the next meeting. The Wagner resolution appointing an architect and physicizn to draw up plans for the proposed Home for Inebristes and Dypsomaniacs was_finally passed to print despite the objections of Supervisors Di- mond, Taylor and Hobbs, who thought such a course was foolish until the litiga- tion over the lot, on which the City and 2t | 1gn ordinance., | County Attorney had given it as his opin- ion they must build, was settled. The report of the committee appoin to negotiate ior the purchase of the I whicii encroach on the City property on which it is proposed to rebuild the old City Hall was adopted. It recommended that as the price asked by the owners of the lots is exoroitant, the City refuse to purchase and proceed to build on the land as it now stands. Pursuant to a resolution i ntroduced by Supervisor Spreckels, Messrs, Thomas Magee, A. 8. Baldwin and G. 8. Umbsen | were appointed to make an estimate and report to the board on the value of the property of the Miranda grant in Lyon and Green streets, required for the pur- pose of extending those streets. The land in quest:on lies within the Presidio reser- vation, and was relinquished to the City by an act of Congress, Supervisor Spreckels introduced a reso- lution instructing the City and County Attorney to examine into the right and title of the City and County to Ocean avenue, formerly called Ocean House road, and to ascerr the width of the avenue. The recommendation of the Street Cor mittee that after Janu S Le permitted to be d as passed to print. or Taylor introduced a resolu- h was adopted, finally, approving and ordering paid the salary demands of Johr J. Sullivan, the bond clerk of the Sullivan was appointed by the and Auditor Broderick refused to sign his warrants for October and Novem- r last, aggregating $200, and Sullivan appealed to the board, which referred the matter to tne District Attorney. His 10n was that Sullivan is entitled to his iary and it was on this that the action of the board was based. | - Supervisor Dunker introdaced the fol- { lowing resolution : esolved, That the Spring Valley Water Works be and is hereby required to lay larger mains | than those now in use in the following-named { districts, viz.: In the district bounded by North Poini, Francisco, Powell and Taylor streets; miso in the district bounded ir- teenth, Eighteenth, Dolores and Cast eets. ubstituting S and 12 inch mains for the 4 and ch mains now Jaid in the districts nemed Further, to erect hydrants in ts as may be hereafter designated by this board, on recommendation of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department. , 10 OPEH ISLAS CAEEK | Congress Asked to Open the Stream to Naviga- tion.

TFrank Mason, alias Pope, & prisoner in the City Prison employed as a “trusty,” managed to effect his escape yesterday morning, and detectives are scouring the City trying to recapture him. The ape was cleverly planned. Ma- son had been visited in the prison fre- quently by a young woman, who repre- sented herself as his wife, and it is evident that she materially assisted him in his ef- forts for freedom. She called npon him on Sunday and carried a small valise in her hand. No special significance was attached to the se at the time, asitis customary for Iriends of “trusties” to bring them edibles and clean clothing. Besides, the “trus- | ties” are allowed considerable latitude.

ADA LEVY'S SAD EXPERIENCE. Suffering With Consumption She Was Sent to an Insane Asylum. A peculiar case of neglect was reported to Secretary McComb of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children yes- terday by Marcus Solomon, an uncle of Mrs. Ada Levy, now living at 1037 Howard street. According to the tale, Mrs. Levy married Levy, who is a cloakmaker on O’Farrell street, near Stockton, several years ago, and one child, a little girl, was the product of the union. Mrs. Levy's health failed and ner husband sent her to her parents in Winnipeg. The parents being poor and unable to bear the addi- tional expenses of a consumptive woman sent her back to her husband, who was then living in Oakland. That was a little over a year ago. According to the story told to Secretary McComb, Levy caused bis wife to be sent 10 the asylum for insane at Agnews, where she remained for nearly a year. Dr, Hatch, the superintendent st the as €0 Solomon stated, sent several letters to Levy, telling him that an insane asylam was not the proper place for the woman, e complaint was consumption and sanity, and asked Levy to take her away. The latter failed to do so, and it FRANK [From his photograph i MASON, ALIAS POPE, THE MISSING TRUSTY. n the Rogues' Gallery.) which had been brought to him in the valise by his visitor.

It is surmised that the young woman had been waiting for him on the southeast corner of Larkin and McAllister streets in a hack, as she was seen to drive rapidly north on Larkin street about the time Mason made his escape.

AMONG THE WHEELMEN. Imperial Road Races Next Sunday—Bay City Theater Party, The Imperial Cycling Club announces that it will run its road races next Sunday. rain or shine. They have been twice post- poned owing to rain, #hd the men are get- ting overtrained. The entry lists will not be reopened and the starters will be the same as published 1n Tue Carn last Sunday. The Examiner-CALr joint club run will be held next Sun , having been post- poned one week owing to rain. The start will be at 12 o’cleck noon from Stanyan street, instead of 11 o’clock, as was ar- ran zed for last Sunday. It seems now that C. R. Coulter, the Lastern racer who has been expected here every cay for the past week, will not ar- rive until some time in January. Judge Kerrigan has called a meeting of the executive committee of the League of American Wheelmen for to-morrow night to decide upon|the appointment of an offi- cial organ and & handicapper. The lacter portfolio carries with it an emolument of 25 cents for every man handicapped in each race, and as there are sometimes fifty to seventy-five entrants in a handicap race, it can be readily understood that the office is not without seekers. There is pretty good authority for the statement that Otto Ziegler Jr. and Tom Cooper, the great class B riders, will be on the Syracuse team for 1896. C. 8. Wells and W. A. Terrill will be with them, and all four will ride on the National circuit. Wilbur F. Knapp, secretary of “Our Sett,” which organization will hola a smoker next Saturday night, has returned from a trip to Los\Angeles, and will devote the remainder of the week to securing tal ent for his club’s entertainment. I. X. Stoddard left 1ast night for a three months’ trip tarough this State, Arizona and Mexico. Sanford Plummer ison the road, covering Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Monterey counties. C. 8.

COMING FROM MONTARA, The Butte Football Team Will Arrive Thursday by Special Car. To Play Reliance and Olympic and Then Go North—Record of the Eleven. The Butte football team will arrive in this City Thursday morning, and on Sat- urday afternoon it will meet the Reliance men at Central Park in the firstinter- State contest of athletic clubs that bas ever been held here. The Montana men will travel in the Northern Pacific private car “Minne- waska,” said to bethe finest on the road. It is likely that during their stay they will live at Oakland, where their palace- car and dining-car will be sidetracked. They have two games arranged for this City, the first with the Reliance and the second on Christmas with the Olympic, and they will endeavor to secure a game for the 28th, although whom their oppo- nents will be is not vet decided. After leaving California the Butte team will continue its tour and will play three games in the Northwest. On January la match is scheduled with the Multnomah Athletic Club of Portland, on January 4 with the Tacoma Athletic Club, and on Jnnu!g]ygwith the Port Townsend Ath- ub. Theteam has a long record behind it this season, as follows: April 14—Butte 18, Spokane A.C. 0. May 30—-Butte 52, t Lake Y. M. C. A. 0. July 4—Butte 6, University of Omaha 0. September 2—Butte 18, Portland A. C. 6. September 15—Butte 18, Iowa State College 10. October G—Butte 78, Anaconda 0. & October 16—Butte 16, University of Nebraska November 13—Butte G, Rehiance A. C. 8. November 23—PButte 6, Denver A. C. 12. November 28—Eutte 24, Olympic A. C. 0. December 1—Butte 12, Olympic A. C. 6. This record indicates that the California games will be hard contests. Reliance just did win when McMillan was caotain of the Oakland eleven, and now he is playing center rush for Butte. But Reliance has made every effort to strengthen itself for a defense of Califorma against Montana. As a result Harreison, ex-Captain Downing, Walton and Bunker, all old Stanford piavers, will be i Oak- land suits next Saturday. And thereis a liklihood that Captain Smith and Sexton of the Olympic team will also play under the maroon and white to defeat the aspir- ing giants from the Rocky Mountains. Private advices from Butte say that Carr, the University of Michigan center rush, and Hooper, the right guard, have been added to the remarkable collection of star play- ersdrawa to Butte from Oregon, Califor- nia, Colorado and Michigan by the attrac- tive business openings created for them by the old Yale enthusiast who is backing the Montana team. Following is the Butte team, with the stripped weights of each player, which are ten pounds less than the actual playing condition : G. W. King, left end, 148; William Slater, left tackle, 189;" James D. Hooper, left guard, 190; George McMillan, center, 177: W.T. Perham, y“"fdv 190; Robert Ellis, right tackie, . C. Smith, Tight end, 168; Captain F. Brooks, quarter, 150; L. J. Harizell, left half, 190; Donald Gillis, right haif, 156; W. B. Las- well, fullback, 170. In addition to these men there are as substitutes: Weiss, guard, 195; Langley, center, 184; Richards, quarfer, 164; Boyce, 159; McPher- son, 155; Manree, 189. AGAINST SKIMMED MAILK, Dairymen Say if the Order is Passed it Will Ruin the Business. STANDARD OF PURITY RAISED. Milkmen Will be Allowed Far Too Much Latitude Under the Pro- posed Law. The majority of the dairymen of San Francisco are not satisfied with the way the Health and Police Committee are handling the proposed milk ordinance. They say there is altogether too much de- lay, and in consequence of this certain milkmen are securing more than their rightful share of custom, that is to say, they are selling skim milk for the pure article and at such ridiculously low figures as to defy competition. In October last, when Mr. Dockery be- gan his eventful crusade against the vend- ers of adulterated milk, this question of skim milk came up. Some claimed that the sale could not be prohibited legaily, while others held that when the cream was extracted it did not come up to the requirements of the pure food law and consequently was adulterated. The Board of Heaith met, and decided that milk must only be offtred for sale in its original state, but those dairymen who had a large skim-milk trade were allowed until No- vember 1 to arrange for the delivery of the pure article. Some of the milkmen heeded the order, but others bid defiance to the Board of Health, Mr. Dockery or any one else who should attempt to interfere with their skim-milk business. Their ranks have been augmented by other venture- some spirits, though this increase is not appeareatly taken from the Milkmen’s As- sociation. The majority of the members of that or- ganization are unalterably opposed to its sale, even under the provisions of the new ordinance. The secretary of the association said yesterday: Ithink 1t can be safely said that no matter how carefully Mr. Dockery does his work the dishonest dairyman will ‘find some means of beating him. ~All the iarge dealers of San Francisco are opposed to the sale of skim milk in any form, and i the proposed ordinance passes, I mean that particular feature, many abuses will be inaugurated. The new ordinance proposes, among other things, that each milk-producer or vendor must obtain a license from the Board of Health, and in addition to this state in a written application the source or sources from which the milk is received, as well as the kind and quality of food ziven the cows. These licenses are renew- able from year to year, but only on an application” being filed setting forth the facts above mentioned. Inregard to the sale of skim milk, section 10 of the pro posed ordinance says: It shall be unlawful for any person or persons, firm or corporation within the limits of the | City ana County of San Francisco, to sell or offcr for sale, distribute, exchange, aeliver, or have in hisor its possession, with intent to sell, offer or expose for sale, distribute, ex- change or deliver, an immed milk, or milk from which the cream has been abstracted, an- less the cans or vessels containing fuch med milk shall be piainly marked with a stripe of green color of mot less than three sin width next below the neck of or vessel conteining such skimmed mi in addition thereto there shall be a sign upon such can or vessel. piainly apparent thercon, bearing the words “*Skimmed Milk,” and in ad- dition thereto there shall be displayed from the wagon or vehicle bearing such skimmed milk a sign, plainly apparent, made up record- ing to the requirements of the Board of Health of the City and County of San Francisco, clearly indicating that such is skimmed milk, and itshall be unlewful for such skimmed milk to be borue or carried on wagon or vehicle on which pure milk is being borne or carried at the same time. One of the most important features 'in the ordinance is the change in thestandard of pure milk. Wnen Dockery first began his work the City was without a standard, but the Board of Health overcame this by declaring that milk to be pure must not contain more than 88 per cent of water nor less than 12 per cent of solids, with 3 per cent or more of butter fat. This last item in the new order has been changed to read 315 per cent. This, with the skim- milk section made a law, will pive dishonest dairymen, so it is claimed, ample opportunity to beat Mr. Dockery. Men of this caliber will extract a certain amount of cream—sayv cnough to bring the butter fat to only 2 per cent. The milk will be placed on a skim-milk wagon, but sold as a pure ar- ticle. The big dairymen, who are opposed to the sale of skim milk in any form, argue that Mr. Dockery will not have time to stop every skim and pure miik wagon, and that venturesome dealers will not hesitate to take advantage of this. A meeting will be called this week to discuss the situation, and it is probable that a de- terniined protest will be entered concern- ‘ing this particular section of the new ordinance. s MILK PRICES ADVANCE. The Marin County Dairymen Play an Old Trick on the 8an Francisco Dealers. There has been a great fizht on for some days between the dairymen of Marin County and a few of the milkmen of San Francisco over an advance in the price of milk from 9 to 12 cents a gallon. At present the people across the bay hold the winning hand, and in conse- quence the local dealers are mad, dis- gusted and ready to do anything that will bring them relief and revenge. Some four or five Sundays ago the Marin County dairymen met at Sausalito for the purpose of devising some means by which they could demand better prices for the milk furnished San Francisco dealers. It was decided to form a pool or combina- tion and to place every member under bonds as a guarantee that no milk would be sold below the combine price—12 cents a gallon. ‘The result of all this is seen in the forma- tion of the Marin County Dairymen’s As- sociation, followed by an immediate ad- vance in milk of 20 per cent. It was given out at the time that all existing contracts would be fultilied according to their condi- tioms, but renewals must be on the terms named by the association. The San Fran- cisco dealers expressed themselves as satis- fied with the arrangement, and everything moved as smoothly as could desired. About ten or twelve days ago. however, a bomb fell into the ranks of the local dairymen who find it necessary to go acrose the bay for milk. An agent of tEe Marin County Association quietly eircu- lated among them, and announced that from then on_the price of milk would be 12 cents a gallon. It did not make any difference whether contracts already existed for one, two, three or four years, new ones must be signed at once, or the milk supply would he shut off. Some few were given ten days’ notice, but the major- ity were flatly told to sign a two-months’ contract at 12 cents a gallon, or look for another dairyman. Many of the dealers at first flatly re- fused 1o be forced into signing a contract, saying, however, that they were willing to pay the 12 cents from day to day, but this scheme did not work, and as it would be disastrous to miss their routes even for one dav, there was nothing left for the milkmen to do but sign the contract. The only one positively shown to have refused to sign the contract is Stone & Co.. proprietors of the San Pedro Dairy. Among the big dairies in the City af- fected by the action of the Marin Count; Association may be mentioned the Mill- brae Company, W. C. Miller & Co., Califor- nia Milk Company and the X L Dairy, NEW TO-DAY.
