4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1896. / THE CALIFORNIA DAIRY ASSOCIATION, A Highly Profitable Meet- ing Held at Peta- luma. PROF. WICKSON'S TALK. System of Education Along the Lines of Rural Economics. CREAMERY VS, DAIRY BUTTER. The Consensus of Opinion Was in Favor of the Former's Keeping Qualities. PE! The Cali- LUMA, Car., Jan. 15 fornia D . tion held a meeting here to-day in connection with a meeting of Pomona Grange. This was in_keeping with the plan recently outlined by the Dairy Associalion to hold monthly meet- ings throughout the State. The mee essed by Professor E. J. Wickson of the State University, who explained that professors from the mst n took part in ch meetings when requested as a system of education along the lines of rural economies, practi- cally university extension. Such work had been very useful in the East and had been prosecuted here as far as the means at hand would permit. The university, he said, derived benefit by having its pro- fessors become a :d with the condi- tions, and obstacles existing in practical d g, and hoped to aid | dairymen by showing to them the chemis- | of food constituents. he matter of feeding, the speaker | thought, was one of the most important before the public. One could prescribe a ration for a cow asaccurately and effect- for a sick person. It has taken genera- tions to bring the matter to its present state of development, but the existing ge as to foods and their constitn- i practical. Liebig, . presented bis theory t correct in every detail, his to demon ion, and to it | degree the present know!- the matter. scen that the animal could the elements of rst be taken up However, the makes direct use of the elements form they assumein the plant by )f the digestive process. The fibrin, all closely resemble . Since careful ex- and exhaustive investigation | those elementsas four Liebig’s time exact ents have determined not only the exact pro- portion of elements in the plant, but the | per cent which is assimilated, aud its rela- | tion to that which is wasted. The result of the exy nents means right feeding and economical production of desired re- sults. Professor Wickson was followed by M. { E. Ja chemist of the agricultural de: partment of the State University, wh illustrated his remarks upon feeding and the analysis of feedstuifs by frequent | references to a chart or table presenting the result of an analysis of various things used as food for cows, as hay, bran, beets, clover, etc. The nutritive ratio, the| speaker explained, meant the proportion | of flesh-forming ingredients. After learn. ing the elements of food it becomes neces- sary to learn just what proportiou of each isneeded. Then the proper ration could be supolied. If insufficient milk-forming food is given the cow draws on the other nutriments in order to live, and the milk supply deteriorates. Joseph Mailliard, the president of the association, was not present, but an essay which he had written was read by the sec- retary, 8. E. Watson. Mr. Mailliard said that the great principle of dairying was to produce for every ton of food used the largest amount of butterat the least cost. The nearer a dairyman attains to this idea the greater financial success he will achieve. Many dairymen get the idea that “a cow is a cow,” whereas there are thous- ands of cows which do not pay for their keep, to say nothing of the labor required to attend them. Itisevident that it will pay every dairyman to work into some first-class breed as soon as he possibly can. The reading of Mr. Mailliard’s essay was followed by a general discussion of dairy methods by the members of the as- sociation. The main points brough: out were that the use of the separator gave an increase of about 15 per cent in the product, and that creamery butter had better keep- ing qualities than butter made by the old dairy system. L. Tomasini, manager of the Dairymen’s Union, was very pro- nounced upon the latter point. He said that he had once sent a large shipment of dairy butter to a customer and it all came back in a few days, and the butter offered its own explanation as soon as he opened the first box. FOOTPADS IN PETALZUMA. They Rob Jewelry Stores and Waylay Ladics on Their Way Home. PETALUMA, Car., Jan. 15.—Thisother- wise peaceful burg has been quite ex-{ cited lately by the daring operations of burglars and footpads. C. Truelson, whose store was robbed last evening, as reported in TuEe CALL, was on the verge of committing suicide when he discovered his loss, this being the fourth time he has been robbed, besides being burned out once. His loss will amount to about §$1000—the thieves taking only the valuable jewelry. A voung painter by name of Ferris was arrested owing to his suspicious actions. The thieves effected an entrance by break- ing ina rear door. st Tuesday evening two young men, strangers in town, walked into the dry- goods store of A. J. Show during his ab: sence and while his daughter was alone in charge. The supposed customers wanted to look atshirts, but the young lady noticed one of them flap his overcoat over something in a peculiar way and thereupon asked him what be had taken. He admitted having appropriated a pair of trousers, but Miss Show still ing suspicious finally made him open his coat, under which he had five more pairs hidden, and at her command he meekly laid them down and with his companion left the store. 2 These parties can be identified and may | and | the utmost s prove to ne connected with the theft from the jewelry-store. ; Mrs. L. D. Torr, living on Bridge street, was returning home from an evening visit at 11 o’clock last Tuesday night, and when almost at her own gate was startled by the sudden appearance of a man, who told her to throw up her nands. : She obeyed the command by screaming loadly, whereat her husband ran out of the house and after the footpad, whom he finally chased direc nto Otficer Bierkle's arms, j A warrant was issued and the man will be held. ; - ‘When the city fathers finally decide to put all tramps to work this unusual ex- perience for Petaluma will not be re- peated. — LOST SANTA CKUZ LAUNCH. Report That It Was Stolen by a Man Fleeing Trom His Wife. SANTA CRUZ, Car., Jan. 15. — Ned Scott of this eity, who is co-owner with Colonel John T. Sullivan of San Francisco of a gasoline launch that mysteriously dis- appeared from her moorings at Monterey last. December, has news to-day of the missing launch that may develop the hiding place-of :oms runaway husband from one of the cities around San Fran- cisco Bay. While Mr. Scott does not credit the run- away husband part of the story he admits that he has information answering in every detail the description of his launch and that she was seen at Port Abilon, Cat- alina Islands, on Monday. The man who was the sole occupant of the launch ap- proached a schooner ready to sail for Mex- ico and desired passage for himself and his craft. He is reported to have said that he was g from a wife and that he very desired his presence on the schooner to be unknown to the crew. He wanted to be stowed away as a corpse or otherwise unidentified. Mr. Scott say all never see his launch again, but dec to explain. The launch was a thi schooner-rigged whaler, built two or three yea o for M. A. Newell of the Mutual rance Company of San Fran- cisco. Colonel Sullivan bought her e last year and turned her into a and since has taken Mr. Scott in ner. At the time Colonel Sullivan proprietor of the Sea Beach Hotel and used the launch for pleasure parties. Scott has been consiaerably worried re- cently over the loss of the launch, though at first he thought she kad broken drifted away and beeh wrecked. There had been a deal of speculation as to the disappearance of the boat, but this solution of the mystery is taken to bea plausible one and seems to give Mr. Scott the assurance that he need not look longer in these waters for his craft. aun part- N SINTA BARBARA MATCH Basil Duncombe, the Groom, a| Member of the English Nobility.

Giovannoni Acquitted by a Jury After Three Hours’ Deliberation BAKERSFIELD, Car., Jan. 15.—Joe Giovannoni, who shot and killed Albert Tribolet here on the 17th of last January, was acquitted of the charge by a jury in the Superior Court this evening. Three days were consumed in the trial. The jury was only out three hours. This was his second trial, the jury disagreeine at the first one. Last summer Giovannoni attempted suicide in his cell. Tribolet went into Giovannoni's paint- shop and was talking to him when the fatal shot was fired. Self-defense was the plea. Many - believed it to be a cold- blooded murder. - NOTORIOUS SACRAMENTO FAMILY. Two of, the Bloomberg Boys Arvested on a Charge of Burglary. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Jan. 15.—Lazarus and James Bloomberg, aged 12 and 14 Years, were to-day arrested for burglary. The boys belong to the notorious Bloom- berg family, between which and the Lichtensteins there exists a long-standing feud, hardiy a month passing without charges being preferred in the Police Ceurt by one family against the other of disturbing the peace. The Bloomberg boys, who run with the toughest gangs in town, are accused of burglarizing a saloon. was | RAPPING THE RAILROAD, Judge McKenna’s Ruling in the Railroad Commission Case. IT HITS HERRIN VERY HARD. The Congressional Cemmittee’s Report Against the Central Pacific Is Admitted. Since W. F. Herrin assumed the ex- alted position he now holds as chief ‘“‘outside” man for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, he has never made so bad a mistake as he did nearly two weeks ago, when he, to the exclusion of hisassi ants, assumed charge of the prosecution in the injunction case now being heard be- fore Judge McKenna, in which the corpo- ration seeks to prevent the Rairoad Com- missioners from enforcing an 8 per cent reduction on'wheat freight rates. With him as counsel Mr. Herrin has such eminent attorneys as Messrs. Garber and Pillsbury, flanked by others who are the peers of the “leading” counsel; but up to date these gentlemen -have not been heard in court. At all times Mr. Herrin has conducted the case, and in his exuber- ance the weight of his knowledge and facile verbosity has overrun to the ex- treme gratification of United States Dis- trict Attorney Foote. On one occasion | especially; when the Government'’s repre- sentative awakened suddenly from a gentle doze, into which Mr. Herrin’s musical | voice had lulled him, and was floundering 1 about for a cue to answer Judge M Kenna's interrogatory as to what attitude | the Government took in the matter, Mr. | Herrin came boldly and amicably to the | rescue, 2 It was on the second day’s hearing of | the case when the affidavits of H. M. La Rue of the Railroad Commission were pre- sented and read accusing the railroad of inflating its indebtedness, and of using large sums of money to corrupt legislation as against the penefit of the Government and public. > These allegations in the affidavits were based upon the Congressional committee’s report in regards to the Pacific and other aided roads. In behalf of the railroad, Mr. Herrin had an objection to make on the ground that and that, at best, the allegations were | made on information and belief. Judge McKennu sustained the objection | at that time so far as the railroad was con- cerned, and turned to Mr. Foote .to listen | to what he had to say for the Government, At that particular moment Mr. Foote was dreaming of sometning else, but hi friend, Mr. Herrin, put in the necessary objection in his benbalf, which called forth | the inguiry from W. W. Foote, the brother | of the District Attorney, who is one of | counsel for the Railroad Commission, as to “Whom is Mr. Herrin representing, the | railroad or the Government?” Thisisall to show, however, with what firm grip Mr. Herrin had seized the legal reins when he entered the case, and from the very start he had, apparently, every reason to congratulate himsélf on his posi- tion. That the gentleman did not break out linto a broad grin during the first few days of the hearing gives corroboration to what is said of him—that he has never known what it 1s to smile. In fact, it is accredited to his immcbile face when C. P. Huntington cracked one of his | pet jokes and everybody else but Her- | rin roared vociferously that he was re- tained at a princely salary as attorney-in- chief for the corporation. While the legal controversy was going on before Judge McKenna and he was baving the top hand, his argument was | mainly to the effect that the Congressional tee’s report contained mere state- made by C. P. Huntington, Senator anford and other individuals connected with tne railroad, but that their idle vaporings could hardly be accepted as being expressions emanating from the cor- | poration, hence such testimony could not | be admitted, and that Mr. La Rue's aflida- vits must perforce be dropped as well. Whether tiiese utterances were the sug- gestions of Messrs. Garber and Pillsbury is not known, but whenever they were being made these gentlemen showed a wonder- ful liking for a walk over to the ice-cold water urn or for a walk in the lobby of the courtroom. However, Mr. Herrin’s victory was of short duration. It came to a termination yesterday morning when Judge McKenna, avho had reconsidered his first ruling, shutting out the Congressional commit- tee’s report and taken itunder advisement, made bis ruling. The court read at great length the testi- | mony taken by the commission and espe- cially that of Leland Stanford to the effect that the Congressional investigation could | not have proceeded from the nature of He and his confreres, however, expressed a willingness to answer every one of the interrogations. Juage McKenna deducted from this that the facts given were accurate and true, as they had been given without compulsion. Heruled that thetestimony was admissible, but that the revort of the commission and the President’s message were not admis- sible, in that they were simply conclu- sions from the evidence. The Ra Lue affidavits were likewise ad- mitted, but the court would not say then whether they were relevant. Their admis- ibility was decided so far as the objec- tion raised was concerned. Attorney-General Fitzgerald opened the afterncon session by stating that he saw no other course in reading the testimony of the witnesses before the Congressional committee than toread itin its entirety, as no portion of such testimony could pos sibly be eliminated. The court acquiesced 10 thisand thereading of Collis P. lz?uming. ton’s testimony as given in answer to the questioning of Commissioner Anderson was had. The Attorney-General picked up one of the twenty-six volumes which bind the voluminous mass of testimony. He weighed the tome, shook his head, coughed and pleaded ill health. “Your Honor, I will be obliged to ask that some one besides myself read this. I am not feeling well to-day. Perhaps ex- Judge Hayne would be the best to read this. But the ex-Judge did not feel well him- self. He had been keeping a weather eye on the ponderous document, and he, too, felt unequal to the task which its reading involved. At this juncture ex-Judge J. C. Daly of counsel for the defense came to the rescue. He had to pay the penalty of being big, an elegant reader, and, above all, healthy. Huntington's testimony, as well as’ that of & score of athers vet to be read and also obtained by the Congressional committee, is being introduced for the purpose of showing the unwarrantable and excessive expense incurred in building the South- ern and Central Pacific roads. . As Attorney-General Fitzgerald has’put it: *“The United States allowed $:6,000 per mile to the Union Pacific and_Central Pa- cific roads, each to build until they met. The first road built in a westerly direction and the latter in an easterly direction. The length of each road and ‘the amount to be received from the Government, there- fore, was to be decided solely by the rapidity of the construction. ““We claim that the Southern and Cen- tral Pucitic companies sacrificed every- thing to cover ground. They paid enor- mous prices, and as Senator Stanford testified, they spent about twice as much to build the road as it would cost under ordinary circumstances, It is this addi- { the report was not a document of record, | things without the consent of the railroad. | | | | | | | i an | duced the speakers. tional and excessive cost which the rail- road is saddling on the people. Think of 1t, making the people pay an expense in- curred by the railroad people to advance their own financial interests. “In their bill of injunction, the com- plainants claim that the value of the road exceeds its bonded indebtedness. By the testimony of themselves before the "Con- gressional committee we show that the allezation is incorrect, that the bonded in- debtedness is nearly twice as large as the value of the road, and that the people should be made to pay rates only on the basis of the value of the road and not to inflate indebtedness.” The case will go on this morning. CHICO'S PEITY THIEVES. There 1s an Yufiux of Them and They Cause Much Trouble. CHICO, Cir., Jan. 14.—Chico has had an influx of petty larceny thieves lately that has kept the officers moving. Last night when C.D. Lawton was returning home he found three bales of hay that had been stolen out of his barn on the side of the road. Lawton and another man secreted them- selves and waited for the thieves to make their appearance. Lawton went into his house and got his double-barreled shot- gun and then they hid themselves and waited developments. In about twenty minutes a team came along and the driver tied them to the fence and commenced to load the hay on the wagon. The owners of the hay sprang from their hiding-place and ordered the thieves to halt, which they refused to do and started with their team on a dead run. ‘The owner of the hay leveled his gun and fired, which only increased the speed of the team. The thieves, with the hay, con- tinued at a breakneck pace toward the business part of the town. Ofticer Henry, who saw the fast driving, ordered them to stop, but paying no atten- tion to the officer they continued on their course, Two shots were fired after them by the officer, but they got through the town and headed toward Red Blufi None of the shots took effect so far as krown. \eszer.day a thief entered the back door of the jeweiry-store of E. Meybum and stole a new overcoat. The garment was found in a secona-hand store, where he had sold it for a dollar. —_— HENTS AT STAVEORD David Brown of the Class of '97 Elected Football Manager. Students’ Attention at Present Ab. sorbed in the Coming Annual Elections, STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., Jan. 15.—At a meeting of the athletic commit- | tee to-day the election of a football mana- ger for the season of '96 came up. David Brown, 97, was the only candidate and he was declared elected. Brown is well fitted for the place, his ability in managing track affairs having been frequently proven in the past, and the experience thus rained will aid him in successfully managing football matters during the coming season. David Brown is an Oakland boy, a mem- ber of the junior class. He, at present is manager of the track athletes and holds the coast record for the mile run, 4 min. 36 sec. being his best time. Engineeringis his major study, and his record as a stu- dentis fully up to his record as an athlete. The students’ attention is just now con- fined to the annual elections, which always occur at the beginning of each semester. Every man who isn’t running for something is buuonholinlf his friends for some fellow that is, and the result gives rise to a condition of affairs not un- like those preceding the municipal elec- tions of -a small town. The second of the series of the prelimi- nary debates occurred last evening and was improvement over its predecessor. There were but four speakers, Messrs. H. D. Sheldon, '96, and F. C. Doty, '96, defending the proposition, while J. L. R. Haffey, '98, and Outealt, '96, took the negative. Sheldon undoubtedly made the best showing. He speaks, perhaps, too rapidly, but he never loses sight of his point and is quick at finding the weak points of a defense. The question was “Resolved that the United States should build, own and operate the Nicaragua canal.” Professor Murray presided and intro- Professors Ross, Shaw and Elliott are the judges, who will announce the three winners next Satur- day evening after the final preliminary debate of the series. They will also | render decisions in each of ‘the debates that has taken place. SOUTH RIVERSIDE CRIME S. E. Cooke Shot by the Keeper of a Disreputable Re- sort. The Young Man Was Out on a Spree With Some Compan- ions. RIVERSIDE, CAL., Jan. 15.—Word was received in this city this morning that a murder had been committed at South Riverside last night. The one who did the shooting was Fred- | erick C. Hazen and the man killed was 8. E. Cooke, for a number of years kiln set- | ter at the pipe works and at which place he was employed at the time of his death. Hazen is reported as a dissolute charac- ter, who kept a disreputable resort near the depot. In this instance, as brought out by the investigation this afternoon, four or five of the young feliows of the town, among them the murdered man, went down to Hazen's house with some whisky to have a little time. About 10 o'clock the crowd became a little hilarious, and Cooke was in the act of pouring some whisky on Mrs, Hazen’s head, when Hazen, who was in bed, raised up and made the remark that that was enough, and drew out a revolver from un- der his pillow. Cooke took the revolver away from him, and then Hazen started for a Winchester rifle, but before he could bring 1t to bear ou Cooke, the latter had taken a couple of sbots at Hazen. Hazen then leveled his rifle at Cooke and fired, killing Cooke al- most instantly. . }:Inzen was lodged in jail here to wait rial, e FRIGHTFULLY CRUSHED. A4 Portland Laborer Killed Beneath Tiwwo Tons of Pigiron. PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 15.—John Cook, a laborer emvloyed at the Portland Stove Works on Hood street, was almost in- stantly crushed to death this afternoan. No one was an eye-witness to the fa- tality. He was tending a load of pigiron which was being swung with a crane. The swing became loosened and almost two tons of the metal fell upon Cook. It required several minutes to uncover him. When taken out be was breathing, but died soon_thereafter without utterin aword. His breast was fearinlly cuuhed‘. MISSION SPORTS MOURN E. Wilberry, a Popular Member of the Rauzo Club, Hauled to Jail. RESULT OF A SHOOTING MATCH. Rival Clubs Miss All Targets, but Kill a Horse and Much Trouble Ensues. All the bicyclists in the Mission and all their fair female friends have been getting up from one to three hours before their regular hour during the last few days. They have been moved by anxiety to see the morning paper and discover if the news had reached downtown of the raid by the police on a shooting match petween the Rauzo and the Knocker Social clubs, which occurred on Sunday. The two clubs above named include nearly all the wealth, fashion and dignity among the young gentlemen residing south of Market street. The Knocker Club consists entirely of professional men or professional men-elect. Among the latter are the internes at the City and County Hospital, students at the various medical colleges, and clerks in law offices. The Rauzos, on the other hand, are “in trade.” There are many influential and wealthy gentlemen on its roll. Both clubs have rooms in the building at Twenty-second and Folsom streets. Though there has always been the greatest rivalry between the clubs there has never been anything but friendliness. The extreme informality of the many meetings has allowed of spirited discus- sions and heated arguments, which re- (}mred vast libations of cold beer to abate. These discussions often begat contests, which until the last one were hitherto the source of much amusement. This last one, which was the Shomi“s contest that came off on Sunday, cause deep mourning, landed one of the mem- bers in jail, endangered the neck of a valued and 'loved Kauzoer, and brought about the untimely death of a horse. There was no comfort, even in the fact that the pneumatic ducks and other tar- gets were not in the least injured by the club’s marksmen. The idea of the contest originated six weeks ago, when the Knockers, through their president, Curly Dog, and their sec- retary, King Woohoo, sent a challenge to the Rauzos to compete at ‘the target. The challenge was at once accepted with the understanding that the losing club should pay for a tamale banquet, with beer, etcet- eras, at the Delmonico’s of the Mission. Betting at once began on the result. The odds were at first in favor of the | Knockers, although the Rauzos immedi- ately put themselves in the care of Trainer | Rogers, the mentor of the California Cycling Club, and followed his ections to the minutest detail. The prime condi- tion of the Rauzos made a marked change in the betting, and by Sunday it was hard to find a backer for the Knockers, thongh their experience as “killers” had given them an enviable reputation. After a long debate it was decided to go to the Pesthouse range, just beyond Twenty-sixth street. The two clubs reached the designated spot at 2 o’clock on Sunday afternoon. There were 123 mem- bers present. It was decided, however, to | leave the shooting to two teams, with twenty-five men in each. The rest cheered the shooters and flirted between shots with China Annie, the female inmate of the | Pesthouse, who stood on the front porch of that building and played “You Can’t Play in My Yard” and “In the Sweet By | and By” on the little organ till she was removed by the superintendent. Each man had three shots at the target. These were taken at intervals when the fog would lighten enough for the bullseye to be seen. The target came out unscathed. Some pneumatic ducks were ihen set afloat on [slais Creek and the marksmen tried on them. They had just fired the two hundred and twelfth cartridge witn- out harming the ducks when a half-dozen sons of sunny Italy appeared with warlike demonstrations and pitehforks. It seems that a stray bullet had killed a horse belonging to one of the Italians, The owner wanted satisfaction. The club { members fled incontinently at the first ap- proach of the natives, who at once began a hot chase. A wealthy young brewer, handicapped by too much flesh, lagzed be- hind. 0 avoid capture he ran into a| saloon, dropped out of a back window in the second story and escaped with only a few scratches and bumps while his pur- suers were downstairs. But: Edward Wilberry, a contractor, one of the Rauzos, was not so fortunate. The Italians, re-enforced by a policeman, succeeded in stopping him. He pleaded that he had not shot the horse, but the officer decided to “take him in” anyway. The patrol-wagon was summoned, and Mr. Wilberry rode back to town in state, | and the wagon, thus saving carfare. The departure was observed from several coigns of vantage by various members of the demoralized clubs. The telephone was at once set to work in an appeal for relief, angd the prisoner had hardly reached the Seventeenth-street Station before Attorney J. C. Flood was on hand with the bail nec- esl:nry to release his friend from durance vile. The case comes up before Judge Joach- imsen on Tuesday. Mr. Flood has no doubt | of the speedy discharge of his client, it is only illegal to discharge firearms inside of Twenty-sixth street. Even if Mr. W- berry were one of the shooters, and it is stated authoritatively that he is not one of those who had been chosen to uphold the Rauzo Club’s reputation, he could not be found guilty because all the shooting was done in the sand lots, just beyond the fateful Twenty-sixth street line. bl S CEMETERIES HAVE RIGHTS The Law Grants Them Per- petual Domain Over Burial Lands. | | A. J. Gunnison Declares It Is the Work of Rivals in San Mateo County. The petition now before the Supervisors asking that the cemeteries in this City be practically closed was branded yesterday by A. J. Gunnison, the venerable president of Laurel Hill Cemetery, as an attempt on the part of “‘designing persons interested | was defeated 434 to 1. We may have to do | the same thing now against some of those | ducted the following Native Daughtersinto visors come in and control us in any way? Every dollar received for iand sold to lot- owuers has been spent on the cemetery— first for the land itself, then for beautify- ing the grounds. I have been over twenty years president of Laurel Hill Cemetery and never received a cent for my work as an officer. The cemetery is for the benefit of the people of San Francisco. After thirty or forty years we have paid for all the land and now every dollar received goes to beautifying the grounds. ““We have had this same trouble every few years for some time. A man named Noble, who did not make a success asa stockbroker, or something like tnar, buys a tract of land down somewhere in San Mateo County and opens a cemetery, These people who own this burial place | are not like us—their cemetery isnot a ‘rural cemetery,’ so if they should makea failure of this enterprise, or should all die off, what would become of their private burial ground? That’s a question I'd like to see answered. The place would become a howling wilderness. Let the people look into the law of the State of California on this matter and see for themselves what it means. “In order to build up their grounds, these San Mateo private cemetery people‘ have got_up this opposition to cemeteries | in San Francisco, which is without the | least particle of truth in the various asser- | tions made. ‘‘The City and County of San Francisco sold to the Laurel Hill Cemetery Associa- tion this identical property for $28,000, which sum was paid to the City by us. The City deeded the land to the cemeétery for all time as a ‘rural cemetery’ under the State law. Now certain scheming men who have cemeteries in_San Mateo County get up a false impression here and employ the Board of Supervisors who act as eight to four to prohibit the selling of land in the cemeteries of this City and county; and this board, acting as eightto four, is now attempting to pass alaw to bring that abjut. And this the board does as the ‘City Fathers’ of San Francisco after the Supervisors years ago sold us the same land for a cemetery for all time. “Does San Francisco wish that to go down to posterity as the honesty of the men now in office 1n San Francisco? And for the simple purpose of enabling stock | speculators in an outside cemetery to make money ? *If that is so, I look upon all my work for the penefit of the people of San Fran- cisco as gone for naught, and submit to dictates of the people of this City.” ““Does your association propose to defend | its > H To that question 1 shall answer: The £ not owned for any ob- jects of prolit, but for the people of San Francisco at large who choose to take lots for the burial of their beloved dead in the local cemeteries, I do not propose to spend money to fight it if the City and County of San Francisco will sanction their Super- visors’ act to destroy the very deeds waich were given by the City for the benefit of | the people, and for which the City was | paid an enormous price. We shall not step in and place ourselves in the position to spend individual money to prevent the disgrace to rest upon the City, believing we have done our duty. That means, if the City of San Francisco wishes to ruin the name of the City of San Francisco let | the people themselves ruin it. | *‘One time there was a charter submit ted to the City that called out our opposi tion. [ remarked to one of its supporters: | **‘I'll beat that.’ * ‘How?’ they asked me. ‘ ‘I'll vote the dead,’ I replied. ‘“ ‘But you wouldn’t do what is already | too freely done by the politicians in San Francisco? they answerea. | ** ‘Well, I shall vote them all the same,” | I said. ‘For every person buried out there | in those cemeteries there are at least three | votes in San Francisco, and they will vote | as I call upon them.’ And what was the result? The ciarter designing politicians and their friends, and there are more than three votes nowa- days for every dear one lying out there in the cemeteries. “I wili speak now for Laurel Hill Ceme- tery. We have spent hundreds of thou- sands on it and it has become as a beauti- ful park. Suppose it were closed. It would be neglected; it would be of no use on earth for anything else. Nobody would buy it or parts of it, and there are lots there that no money could buy; for by right under the law of California these same lots belong to the owners for all time.” NATIVES.
