THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1896 11 HIS PURPOSE TO VEX AND ANNOY. So Says D. M. Delmas Concerning C. A. Spreckels. HIS FATHER THE VICTIM The Suit Instituted in Hawaii Has No Other End in View. COURT ASKED TO INTERFERE. Argument in the Case of Claus Spreck- els Against the Hawaiian Commer- cial and Sugar Company. Mr. Delmas occupied nearly the whole day yesterday in his argument before Judge Troutt in the suit of Claus Spreckels against the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company, its directors and attor- n The action is brought to restrain the de- fendant from prosecuting an action in the Hawaiian Islands where the company as plaintiff seeks to compel Claus Spreckels to deed over to them some 6000 acres of land, held by him, it is claimed, in trust for the company. Mr. Deimas briefly recited the facts ai- leged in the complaint filed in the Ha- waiian Islands as follow Claus Sprecke years ago agreed with Herman usler, k F. Low, William F. Babcock and Herman endel, all residents of San Francisco, that he i ascertain whether a large sugar planta- ould be established on the island of Maui, he Hawaiian Islands, and, if so, that he d s the necessary land and, with the a corporation under the laws of or the purpose of owning and ope- he same. h & corporation kno Commercial Compa of the defendant here, ,1878. n s the prede- vas formed in Spreckels became th of that corpo; h the duty, thereior undivided devotion to ifs Interests tting his own personal advant- with the duty which he owed general 2 and chased certain lands on the known as the Ahupusa of ch'were needed by the corpora- them with the money of the d that he now retains the legal name. e subject-matter upon which the s be land it is a complete abuse of that this is an action to recover a personsl one.

That duty is 1 which follows the defendant he goes and wheresoever he formance may be demanded where. personal is-this action that in this standing the provisions of the n, it may be brought in any county defendant resids , . The only question arisi then, upon the rrer §s: Do the everments of the -eom- plaint. no'¥ here presented to this court, bring {his case within the scopé of equity jukispru- e facts of course are admitted by the de- murrer. What are they? In tne first place the parties are all residents nd citizens of California. The plaintiff and the defendant, as well as the deiendants Russell J. Wilson, Monntford £ Wilson, Charles S. Wheeler, Rudolph Spreck- els and B.J. Hoffacker, are, and were at the time said action was instituted, citizens and residents of the State of California. The residence of 2ll the parties who at any time acted as directors or officers of said two corporations, the Hawaiian Commercial Com- pany and the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company, who are now living, is in the Siate of California. Among these are Hermenn endel, Hermann Schussler, H. L. Dodge, John Spreckels, A. B. Spreckels, William Babeo Antoine Borel. In matters of purely p sonal obligations or duties the State alway affords protection under its own laws to its own citizens. A citizen of this State may bring in the courts of this State an action against a for- signer found in this State to recover upon an obligation accrued to him against seid for- eigner ina foreign State. Thus, for instance, a citizen of California may sue the Union Pa- rific Company (a foreign corporation) in the urts of this State for personal injuries suf- fered by him in any place outside of Califor- nie. Proper triburals to try questions arising from personal obligations between Caiifornians are the tribunals of California. The obligation in this cese, if any, arose from relations created and existing in’ California between Californians and under California @ws. The bill of complaint alleges that certain agreements and contracts were entered into between plaintiff and other persons, and the bill is largely based upon the alleged duties and obligations springing from said alleged agreements and contracts. All of said alleged egreements and contracts, {f made at all, were made within the State of California. The obligations, if any, arising under them arise, if at all, and must be ascertained and measured by the laws of thisState as interpreted by its sourts; and the plaintiff has a clear, legal and equitable right to have said agreements and ontracts, if they exist, ascertained and meas- cred by this standard. Those laws, and the tonstruction which the courts of this_ State beve placed upon them, if defendant is per- mitted to ‘pmceed in his action in the courts of the Hawaiian Islands, will have to be proved as facts before those courts, for they cannot take judicisl cognizance thereof. To establish by competent evidence in such a foreign snd distant tribunal the laws and decisions of this State would be an undertaking involved in fl’elt doubt and uncertainty, jeopardizing the legal and equitable rights of the plaintiff, The bill of complaint alleges that certain ‘!duciny relations existed between the plain. iff and the Hawaiian Commercial Company and the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Com- pany, arising both from trusts created by con- tract and implied trusts erising {rom positious slleged to have been occupied by plaintiff toward said corporation, and the bill of com- plsint is largely based upon the alleged duties and obligations of the plaintiff springing from those fiduciary relations. The existence, na- ture and bxtent of these fiduciary relations, if any existed, are to be determined by the laws of this State as interpreted by its courts. The laws of the republic of Hawaii upon the mat- ters in.contest are different from those of this state, and if defendant is permitted to pro- in his action in that reruhhc, the plain- :iff’s rights under the laws of this State will be imnaired, if not wholly destroyed. The nature of the contract made, the obliga- tions assumed and the breach of those obliga- tions must, whenever the case is tried, be de- termined by the law of the place where the contract is entered into. The defendaut wanted Claus Spreckels to tign & deed to a piece of land. Why should he be dragged 2000 miles across the sea to do this when all the parties in interest, the books and tecords fvere here and could be produced in sourt in twenty-four hours? Why should these books and Tecords be subjected twice to the dangers of the sea? All the parties to this litigetion are men of large ‘airs, Such & Journey would necessarily mean great loss and Inconvenience to all of them. The defendant here, who is plaintiff over there, willingly puts bimself to this trouble and loss in order that Be meay put his adversary to still greater srouble and cause him greater loss. I will now show your Honor a line of authorities from fourth’ Cushing down, all setting their faces tgainst such iniquitous proceedings. The sourtssay thatno man may take such an ad- vantage of another as this seeking the courts M distant States or countries where the laws - :;Eerem or, mayhap, especially favor their slans. Mr. Delmas went on to say that theonl‘y purpose of bringing this suit in Hawaii was to harass, vex and annoy the plaintiff aere. It was instigated by C. A. Spreckels with the purpose of annoying his father, s purpose he hassteadily pursued for years and which was admitted here in the de- | mnrrer, The plaintiff comes before a court of equity asking that he be stayed in this purpose, “and if his ition 1s not ranted,” said Mr. Delmas, “‘then it will e the first time in the history of our juris- prudence that such a plea has been de- nied. For it would be a confession of cowardice, that the courts could not pro- tect the public.” 7 Charles 8. Wheeler made reply for the defendant. Hedenied the last statement of the counsel on the other side, and said that C. A, Spreckels was not & party to the suit at all. He said thatall the arguments advanced against the plaintiff going to Hawaii nEplied with equal force to the trial of the case here, as the witnesses necessary to prove their case were there. Counsel will subnut to the court their arguments, together with their respective lists of anthorities. LABOR COUNCIL. Officers Elected for the Ensuing Year. Action on the People’s Palace Boycott.

WERE EXTED N COUAT, The Case of Goetze Against Goetze Nearly Ended in a Row. Mrs. Goetze, the Defendant, Objected to Testimony Which Impugned Her Character. The case of Wiiliam Goetze against his wife, Dora Winters Goetze, to annul the marriage which binds the one to the other, has been submitted to Judge Sanderson for decision. It was not submitted. however, without some trouble, for the prelim- inaries to quite a little family fight were all gone through with before the Deputy Sheriff interfered and ordered the fight off. The suit is brought by Goetze to have annulled his marriage with Miss Dora | Winters. He married her under com- pulsion, he says, because she claimed he | was the father of her child, which was born in March, 1894. He says her father| threatened to kill him, the Grand Jury threatened to indict him, and between the pistol and the penitentiary and the pen- itentiary and a marriage hechose the mar- | riage. and now he wants it annulled. | The plamtiff’s side of the case, waich | has, at different times, occupied a couple of days in Judge Sanderson’s court, was | finished late in the afternoon and within an hour the defendant had submitted her evidence and the case was submitted. Goetze himself occupied the stand most of | the afternoon telling how he met the girl and how he had finally stopped calling upon her; how he had been tbreatened by | the Grand Jury with indictment, and how Miss Winters’ father haa offered to use a pistol on him at any time should he refuse to link his fortunes with the daughter. Mrs. Goetze and her father were the prin- | ci;-nl witnesses for the defense. Mr. ‘Winters was called to tell that he never offered to use a pistol upon his reluctant son-in-law, and that he never made any threats which were calculated to inspire a desire for matrimony in any one’s heart. Mrs. Goetze told of her relations with | Goetze; how he visited the house and | took her to par‘ies and picnics, and how he had allowed it to be generally under- stood that some time he and she would be married. Some very inted questions were asked her, and these she resented. | She also resented the attempt of the plain- | tiff to deny the paternity of the child, and | she left the stand very much incensed. The case was_submitted and court had adjourned, and the plaintiff and plain- tiff’s witnesses and the defendant and de- fendant’s witnesses, and a bevy of counsel for each, were making for the door, when | the defendant contingent made a rush for | the plaintiff and, but for the witnesses and | his counsel, would have secured posses- | sion of him. That they would have done | any more than that to him is doubtful, but counsel for both sides immediately called for a squad of Deputy Sheriffs, and | they, coming opportunely upon the scene, destroyed what prospects there were for a fight. The defendant does not mind the legitimate testimony of the case, but she objects strongly to any attempt to injure her character. The plaintiff denies any such motive, but still asks for an annal- ment of his marriag: WHITE'S BIG MORTGAGE Directors of Sun Insurance Com- pany Swear It Was Bona Fide. The Round Valley King's Ex-Wife laims That the $70,000 Loan Was a Scheme. Three voluminous sealed depositions were filed with the County Clerk yesterday by ex-Mayor E. B. Pond, Colonel C. L. Taylor and William H. Friend, directors | of the Sun Insurance Company, 1n support of the validity of a loan of $70,000 made several years ago by the company to George E. White, the cattle-king and auto- crat of Round Valley. ‘White, through his attorney, Barclay Henley, does not purpose to offer any opposition to the foreclosure suit that has been instituted against his extensive Men- docino County acres, on which the loan was made. But Mrs. White, the ex-wife of the wealthy landowner, is not so willing to see so much property separated from the ‘White estates, particularly as she hasa sult against her former husband for alimony. Mrs. White’s lawyers claim that the mortgage was a scheme between the Sun Insurance C«.:m]:umlvl and George E. White, by means of which the White property was to be apparently very much depleted, while in fact the amount was never paid. Ex-Mayor Pond, speaking last night of the suit, said that he and his fellow-direc- tors had made detailed affidavits regard- ing the circumstances of the loan which had been made to White several years ago to pay certain debts in accordance with an order of court. The S8un 1nsurance Com- D“F had at the time sent its exgyrt up to exploit the property, and upon his recom- mendation the amount had been advanced to White. That, continued Mr. Pond, was before the marital misunderstandings be- tween White and his wife. Much of th $70,000, Mr. Pond believed, had been paid over by White at once to different creai- STHINED ~ GLASS ~ SEALS Various Colleges Will Be Rep- resented at the University Club. MR. BRUCE PORTER'S DESIGNS. The Windows for Harvard and Annap- olis Will Be Put in Their Places To-Day. A movement has been started among members of the University Club to have stained glass windows bearing the eollege seals of the institutions whence they come. The first two of these series of artistic productions will go in place to-day. One of them represénts Harvard University tion has been brought into play. The technique and arrangementsfof symbolisms is of the best, and a careful study of the colors and elements of heraldry have en- abled him to develop not only works of art but absolutely correct seals. Altogether, Mr. Porter’s designs are so well executed that he has been rewarded with the in- formation that he is to make them all. His Annapolis seal is literally a bistory of the United States in glass and indicates in a measure every epoch in the life of the Union. 7 The windows will be duly received a lit- tle later on, when more are in, by an ocas- sion commensurate with the dignity of the high educational institutions they repre- sent.

Gilbert. Mr. Gilbert is now over 60 years of age; in the '50's he was in the Rockies gold-huntine. Since 1868 he has handled more property in Chicago and is known to more home-owners than any other man in the business. Mr. Gilbert at one time suffered from rheumatism and sleeplessness. He made trips to Hot Springs, and tried other methods of treatment without avail. To setisfy a friend who had taken Paine's celery compound for similar troubles, and knew what it could do, Mr. Gilbert tried it, and but a very short time elapsed before he was entirely freed from both these troubles. Mr. Gilbert himself says: Gentlemen—I have suffered with rheu- matism and sleeplessness for years, caused by exposure while prospecting in the mountains years ago. For years I had to take electric bath massage and take trips to Hot Springs in order to get alittle sleep and relief from pain. To cap the climax 1 have been suffering from indigestion ana pains ip the heart region. Paine's celery compound was recommended to me by friends who knew what they were talking about, and 1 took it. From the start I noticed improvement, and I am now in the best of health and able to get aronnd as lively as any youngster 1 know. Yours truly, L. A. GILBERT. The most rational way of getting rid of rheumatism, neuralgia and insomnia and getting back sound health is to husband every mite of strength and to set about a radical, all-round restoring of the tired system with Paine’s celery compound. It is your business to.furnish-the body with nervous energy as fast and abun- dantly as you can, and to get a richer, purer blood supply. There is no way in which this restorative process can be so swiftly brought about as by using Paine’s celery compound. There 1s nothing known to physicians of the most extensive practice equal to Paine’s celery compound for purifying the blood and making strong, heaithy nerves, Unremitting work at last brings down the vitality of the strongest men and women.

By regulating the nervous system and com- relling the vitiated blood to gain a larger proportion of red corpuscles, all the organs of the body whose business it is to repair and rebuild the tissues are aroused, Paine’s celery compound does not fail to increase the appetite, to augment the powers of as- similation, to increase the weight of the body, to purify the blood and to stop the progress of structural changes, when liver and kidney diseases have fastened them- selves upon the system. There is not a single city without some perfectly attested cure of liver or kidney disease, chronic constipation, salt rheum, plaguing eczema or general poor health, by the use of Paine’s celery compound.

THE PUBLIC FREE MARKET Discussion of the Question by the State Horticultural Society. GROWER VS, COMMISSION MAN. San Francisco a Market From Which Unsatisfactory Returns Are Made. Yesterday the California State Horti- cultural Society met in the Milis building and discussed the Free City Market ques- tion. Besides the members of the society there were present: B. F. Walton of the State Grange, M. S. Kohlberg of the Merchants’ Association, Frank Dalton, president of the Ban Francisco Fruit Ex- change, E. F. Adams of Highland Grange, Brainard N. Rowley, publisher of the Cali- fornia Fruit-grower, and H. P. Stabler of Yuba County, all of whom spoke upon the subject. President Colnon was un- able to be present, but sent an offer of 500x50 feet of section 4 of the seawall with 2 shed lor a free market, Mr. Adams discussed the proposition at length, and spoke of the different advan- tages that would accrue from the estab- lishment of 8 market where the producer could directly meet the consumer. He said there isa bitter feeling between the two, and the man in the country believes that the man in the City squeezes him. sionally sent people to buy a box of fruit to learn how this sale stood in with the returns mailed to the shipper. This is talked of among the growers, and they are becoming more and more dissatisfied. Mr. Dalton expressed himself as being unable to see any practicable benefitin a free market. The principal fruit orchards are too far from San Francisco. Vacaville, which is about sixty miles away, is the first shipper of tne season; and what grower will come from that distance with | his car of produce for the purpose of sell- | ing it off in the free market. San Fran- | cisco is not located for a free market? She | is nearly surrounded by water, conse- quently no farmer can haul his produce | into the City, as is done where free mar-| kets are found practicable. He said: The vegetable markets at the corner of Davis and Pacific streets are free markets, yet noth- ing is sold at retail there, and we never hear that consumers receive any concessions there evidence which showed that the crime had been committed before the girl was 14 years old was given by the girl herself, and as she was an accomplice her evidence, unsu:soned as it was, could not be con- sidered, The court held, however, that the same law which places the age of con- sent at 14 makes it impossible fora child under that age to become an accomplice, and the motion for a8 new trial was there- fore denied. % In sentencing the prisoner Judge Wal- lace explained the distinction between the crime for which Pardini was convicted and sentenced a week ago and the one for which Ratz stood convicted. Pardini was sentenced to an imprisonment of ten ;{:u for an attempted crime, but in Ratz’s case the crime was actually com- mitted, and the sentence was accordingly much heavier. There 1s a_similar charge against Ratz vet to be tried. Ratz is 60 years old. ———————— Silk thread may be gilded by the ele gl.ning process, retaining almost its Efi. exibility and softness. over the purchasers in other localities. Jackson and Washington street wharves are praetically free markets where fruit and prod- nce are bought and sold. Regarding my own business as a wholesale fruit-dealer, 90 per cent of my consignments are sold to the can- ner before it reaches the market. The buyer hauls it lw%y at his own expense. If the grower would ship a better quality, and not iry to force the market with an inferior grade —in short, if he would take the advice of the commission man once in a while—there would not be eo much dissatisfaction and tnat bitter feeling spoken of between the country and the city man. I believe that the appointment of & fruit inspector, such as has been an&‘e-ud, 'a'::d‘gd‘:l vhme. Last ;mmm;r btlne mar) let Was th green and unsalable cantalou which were thrown overboard, There shou be an inspector to condemn and check the shi ment of an inferior elass of produce. Iam in favor of any concentration of business—any spoiled, if Fr\-\gerl)’ shipped, quickly delivered and_speedily disposed o1, are always in prime condition. Visitors to San Francisco say our fruit is_poor. I agree with Mr. Dalton as re- gards choice fruit and guick transportation and the drmn,i of the poor produce off the market. I am in favorof a free market, be- cause I think it will bring the grower, agent and consumer nearer together. Mr. Kohlberg said he expected to see more of the growers present, and he was not satisfied with their absence. They wsere the ones most interested and for whom this question bad been raised. The Merchants’ Association was for them, but they must Jet it understand their desires. B. N. Rowley, publisher of the Fruit- grower, was not enthusiastic on free mar- kets. He said: A few years ago I tried to get up one, but failed signally. The dealers stood on their dignity and sdid they were merchants, and not cart or basket hucksters, and I was told to go off and sit down. Ihave no confidence in tfie scheme, because no farmer or grower can come across the bay and into San Francisco for the purpose of selling his fruit. I am not against - the proposition—I simply have no faith in it; and I don’t think the society should take the initiative. The growers them- selves shoutd make the first move. Hon. H. P. Stabler said one indication that the free market was a good thing was that the commission merchanisare against it. Said he: Iam in favor of the market or anything that will give the grower a show. San Franeisco is a very poor market. I have sent packages by express, which were delivered in good con. dition; and I have sent the same quality to commission merchant and did not get enoug: to ?ny freight. All over the State thereis g feelingamong growers that theyget the worst o’ the deal, and the middlemen gets the cream o5 the business. Still, I think the growers should be heard before this society acts in the matter. The : following resolutions, by E. F. Adams, were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That in the judgment of this soci- ety it is highly important that all commission business transacted -for account of producers should be kept entirely separate from any pri- vate business in which the agent may be en. gaged, and that the returns made to pioducers should be exact and no aversge returns be made. Resolved, That in our contracts with commis- sion agents it is our understanding that ail sales will be mede under the provisions of the laws of California, and that we are to receive the full price obtained,less charges, whether the produce be sold inlarge or smsll quanti- ties. ‘Résolved, That we strongly favor the concen- tration of theentire wholesale trade in perish. able products for accounts of producers upon the water front, under tned)nmdimun of the Harbor Commissioners, and that in our judg- ment the regulations of the market should make the original entries of all sales public records, and that provision shounld be made for an inspector to_enforce the regalations and to perform such other duties as the name implies and that may be found possible. Resolved, That & committee of three beap- pointed by the chair to represent this society at all meetings and conferencescalled to consider this subject. Resolved, That the Merchants’ Association be requested to unite witn_this society and other organizations interested in calling & general conference of organizations of producers and seliers of perishable produets, individual ship- pers, transportation companiés end others in- terested to consider the sub{cct of a free wholesale market for perishable products on the water front of San Francisco, under the jurisdietion of the Harbor Commissioners.
