FHAILE BROS. 037,039,041,043, 945 Market St., INCORPORATED), SAN FRANCISCO. ) COLONEL JOHN F, FINERTY Irish Citizens Making Extensive Preparations for His Reception, BRIGHT NEWSPAPER CAREER. Journalist, Orator and Nationalist, He Stands First Among His Com- patriots. John F. Finerty of Chicago, who comes to San Francisco to lecture under the au- spices of the Irish National Alliance of America, 15 to-day one of the most pic- turesque Irishmen in the United States. The local branches of the society of which Colonel Finerty is the recognized chieftain will receive him ina manner worthy the man and becoming the occa- sion. He will be met at Los Angeles by a delegation of prominent Irish-born citi- zens of San Francisco and escorted to the City with flying colors. Colonel Finerty is now lecturing on Irish national affairs in the Southern States. At the conclusion of his tour in the South he will come directly to California and deliver one lecture at Metropolitan Hall in this €ity on the even- ing of March 4, the anniversary birthday of Robert Emm et, the young Irish patriot who was executed in Dublin in the latter part of the eighteenth century for an al- leged volitical offense against the crown. From here the Jecturer goes north to Port- land and the Sound cities and thence to Butte, Mont., concluding his circuit at Minneapolis and St. Paul. Finerty’s one aim is to tell the people of the South and West all about the new lrish National Alliance, now well estab- lished at the East, and whose sole purpose is to secure Irish independence, by peace- ful means if lpossible. with the sword if compulsory. Itisdefined by the modern- ers as the reactionary movement which comes through the working out of natural causes from the wornout legislative policy for which O’Connell stood first and Par- nell last. And Finerty is, perhaps, the one man in America to tell what it means. John, as everybody calls him in Chicago, is a fine fellow. When he speaks the mel- - lifluous, unctuous tone of voice that he derives from his ancesiry is strengthened by the robust vigor of his own oratorical wer, and the combination always wins is audience. No man has been *‘written up” more than Finerty, and rightly, too, for his. personality and character are as fuli of color 2sa California sunset. It is no extravagant prediction to say that Fin- yriy will never be forgotten by those who will have the good fortune to see him and listen to his Ciceronian rhetoric and his matchless oratory. This will not be Finerty’s first visit to San Francisco. But he comes as Timon went to Athens—in rather differ- ent circumstances,: On the occasion when e first struck this transmontane metropo- lis he landed here without a penny in fih cket. But his stars were with him and e negotiated a loan {rom a newspaper friend and was thus enabled to get safely back to his friends. This time his ex- penses will be all guaranteed and there will be money in the till over and above the requisite amount for expenses. Colonel Finerty has had an eventful life, His earlier years were passed as a reporter on the daily press of Chicago and later he won distinction as a war correspondent dvring the Indian wars in the Northwest, His whole life, and he is still in the prime ments until the country was swarming the buffalo must have been at least eleven and vigor of his manhood, has been one of | with them, and the scouts were obliged to | feet high and weighed not less than 8000 action. Suave, keen of eye, ruggedly gooa na- tured, impetuous yet cautious in his habit of thought, strikingly original in speech, generous, open-handed, a glant in_stature and a Titan in_heart—this, in brief, is John Finerty. He is soldier by nature, war correspondent by experience, and statesman by choice of the people. Yet one who knows him well would pronounce him a better soldier than a statesman, for like all his race, he is a patriot born and bred, and real patriotism, the sort we in- herit from the Greeks, who gave it to the Romans, who flushed barbaric Europe by | their noble example, always broadest and most exbaustive outlet in soldiery and fighting. Finerty’s newspaper work at the front during the Indian wars in the Northwest gave him a lasting reputation asa corre- spondent. His standing in the newspaper world i was a difficult one, as the Indians drew no distinction between an Enghsh and a Hibernian scalp: It wasin the spring of finds its | mediately advanced. His task | retreat by night some fifty miles over great rocks and turbulent streams (a geological formation peculiar to the terri- | tory) until they finally reached General | Crook’s main body encamped under the shadow of Cloud Peak. General Crook in | his official report to General Sheridan spoke in praise of Finerty’s valor in the field and cheerfulness on the march. | Finerty =ontinued with General Crook’s column until the close of the campaign | and was present at all the engagements with the Indians, He was with the army “ in its awful march from Tongue River to | the Yellowstone, and from the junctionfof | the latter with the Powder River, beyond ! | the Little Missouri, thence south to the Black Hulls in Dakota. Over 600 cavalry horses_were shot or abandoned on the | trip. The men were obliged to sleep in the open, midst fierce storms, and for a time they subsisted on horse meat. There | were several sharp encounters with the Indians on the march in. Captain Charles King, the historical narrator and romance writer of the frontier, COLONEL JOHN F. FINERTY. =z ) N [Drawn from a photograph.] 1876 that Finerty was detailed by the Chi- [ in his volume, “Campaigning With cago Times to join General George | Crook,” mentions the ubiquitous reporter Crook’s Big Horn and Yellowstone expe- dition against the Sioux, Cheyenne and and other warlike Indians, then robbing, plundering and_murdering the whites in the Dakotas and Montana, He was pres- entat the Tongue River affair on June9, 1876, and at Rosebud on June 17, where every man was obiiged to defend his own life.” Ouster and his men were massacred afew days later some twenty miles away. Later the correspondent joined General Sibley’s scouts and accompanied the dar- ing oand of frontiersmen in their memor- able expedition along the base of the Bi Horn range in Montana and took a han in the terrible encounter between the scouts and the Indians on the Little Big Horn River. The Sioux chief, White An- telope, and other Indian warriors of re- nown were killed. Sibley lost a number of men, killed and wounded, and all his horses. The Indians received re-enforce- in this language: ‘“‘A keen shot had: just succeeded in knocking an fndian out of his saddle and capturing his pony. Then up came John Finerty, who seeks his items on the skirmish line and uses penci! and carbine with equal facility. - Finerty wants the name of the man who killed the Indian, and learning from the eager voices of the men that it is *Paddy Nihil,’ he de- lightfully heads a_new paragraph of his dispatch, ‘Nihil Fit,’ shakes hands with his fellow gnhflnder and scurries off to take a hand in the uproar ou the left.” Many other like tales of the campaign have since been told by army men at the expense of the fearless and dashing young Irish reporter. It was in the lifetime of the buffalo. Finerty had killed his first bull. His companions in the hunt remem- bered that it was of medium size. but on reading a description which Finerty wrote for the Chicago g‘imel they calculated that .| utterances. pounds. On his return to Chicago Finerty was sent into Old Mexico, where he remained for some time writing his impressions of the country. He returned north to join another expedition against the Indians in Arizona and New Mexico, sending graphic accounts of the campaign to his paper. He had many narrow escapes from death, but ran the gauntlet sately and returned home only to be dispatched to the front again. He was present on the Canadian line in 1879 when Sitting Bull surrendered to Major Woeds of the Northwest Mounted Police and participated in the closing skirmishes of this great Indian war. After peace had been established Finerty joined a geological party that explored the ocky Mountain regions, following the course of the Lewis and Clark expedition, and following down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean. An exhaustive descrip- tion of the country through which he had gassad was afterward published in the hicago Times, which 1n the old days, ‘when Storey was at its head, was the greai- est newspaper in the West, With Storey’s death the paper lost its grip on the public mind, and gradunally sank, until two years ago it was bought for a song and became hyphenated with the Chicago Herald. After severing his connection with the Times Colonel Finerty established the Chicago Citizen and devoted his attention to the affairs of his native Erin. This was ata time when the Land League was being established in the United States and Finerty threw his whale soul into the work. He always held extreme views on the great question, and is now more than ever convinced that if Ireland ever gains herliberty it will be won by the sword. He is unaltered in this conviction and Finerty is a man of pronounced conviction. He walks, talks and acts like a man with opinions of his own. He is no half-way patriot. As an orator Cobonel Finerty has a national reputation. “There are orators and orators,” says a writer in the Chicago Chronicle, speaking of Finerty’s oratorical attainments. “One will have the light, humorous way of play- ing with facts and logic, like "the late Emery A. Storrs; another will spout musi- cal prose and say nothing to any purpose, other than that of gathering in the dollars, like Colonel Ingersoll; still another will brilliantly travesty history, like the late lamented James G. Blaine. Finerty is not as any one of these, He is an orator of a better note than any of them. He does not trifle in his speeches; he is free of blank verse, musical mannerisms; he does not draw forensic drafts on history, rewrit- ten by himself to suit his cccasions; he never speaks in public but he has some- thing important to say, and the style he employs—a style patarai to himself—is happily correspondent to his matter. It is terse, telling and brilliant, attracting and convincing his hearers, and never wearying them to any undue length of his -t And his written is no less ad- mirable than his spoken style. In days agone, when he was a writer daily on the Chicago press, his articles were ever recog- mizable by his friends and admirers, so characteristic in_the turn of thought and phrasing were they of him and different from the common.” Colonel Finerty served one term in the lower house of Congress and has held im- portant offices jn the municipal govern- ment of Chicago. Regarding the reception to Colonel Fin- erty, a correspondent writes to THE CALL as Jollows: . “Hon. John F. Finerty is a representa- tive newspaper man, From a reporter of the Times to the editorship cf the Citizen, he still represents that gnfld. It would be only proper to selecta few of our best Irish g’umnhsu (and we have a few), with J. J. ‘Brien, Hon. Robert Tobin, George R. B. Hayes, Colonel Patrick Roland, Dr. O'Neill, Irvine Grabam, Daniel O’Connell, Thomas E. Flynn, John K. Orr, Colonel J. C. O'Connor, William Cluff, “05" Magee, ex-Judge J. F. Sullivan, Judge J. ¥ Cotfey and such men, whose names are synony- mous with respectability, non-sectarianism and the Celtic race, to_meet him. Finert; Wwill speak on ‘Robert Emmet.’ The grand- father of John K. Orr was one of Emmet’s lieutenants in that memorable year of ‘pride and sorrow,’ so it would be fitting to have Mr. Orr on the committee. Irvine Graham and William Cluff are also North of Ireland men, and as Emmet knew nei- ther north nor south, but a united Ire- land, without sectarianism, such_a com- mittee could not fail to impress Mr. Fin- erty that the Irishmen of the Pacific Coast were abreast of the twentieth century, and it would stimulate him to do justice to the memory of one of the purest, noblest and most disinterested patriots that ever lived upon the tides of time. AN IRISEMAN.” Death of James Logue. James Logue, one of the oldest and best known residents of Richmond, was buried Jast Monaay from the Star of the Sea Church. High mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Coyle. The funeral was one of the largest ever known in the district. The deceased was very popular and had a large number of friends among the business men of Richmond. For some time before his death he was empioyed at the Bay District racetrack. Mr. Logue was a native of Ireland, 47 years old. ARE STATE ~ OFFICIALS, Bank Commiss‘ioners Cannot Be Ousted by Criminal Process. They Are Not Amenable to the Law Governing County or Municipal Office-Holders. It has been settled, by decision of the Supreme Court, that the Bank Commis- sicners are State officers, and cannot be removed under the provisions of the penal code, which prescribe the proceedings to remove county or local officers. The de- cision is in the case of Paris Kilburn and others, Bank Commissioners oi California, against J. K. Law, Judge of the Superior Court of Merced County. i The case was based upon the application for a writ of prohibition against Judge Law, commanding him to desist from any further proceedings against the petition- ers as Bank Commissioners in the matter of the accusation of William Sherman. On October 8, 1895, Sherman filed in the Superior Court of Merced County a com- plaint against the Bank Commussioners, charging that they had willfully negleczgd their duties in that they did not ascertain that the Merced Bank was insolvent and unable to fulfill its obligations. The claim was made that the Bank Com- missioners being State officials g«_mld not, criminal proceedings un- gzrresl::‘:iv:: 7‘% of the P!l,')xln.} Code, the sectiomof the code under which Sherman made his complaint. It was claimed by the original suitors that there were mauy features of a civil action in a proceeding under section 772, principal among them being a provision directing the court to proceed in a summary manner to hear the evidence, which is taken to mean that there need not be a jury, and also that the proceeding is not in the name of' the Wlfilg lz.unclusion the opinion of the court stated the following: e % at sucl rosecu- the Bank Commissioners must be sustained. They are not district, county, municipal nor township officers, and by sections 888 and 889, prosecutions under section 772 can only main- tain agaipst such office: e Secretary Morton, in his annual report, figures that the farm proverty of the U‘mud States is . worth §13,000,000,000, there being 4,564,641 farms, averaging in value $2909. THE BIG BLYTHE ESTATE, Grandma Perry-Byrne Has Hypo- thecated a Portion of Her Interest. OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND. . Imposing List of Those Who Have Done a Percentage Banking With the Lady. The numerous attorneys connected with the celebrated Blythe case from time to time are exploring their thought domes for an explanation of the motive of Flar- ence’s grandmother in hypothecating so large a portion of her interest in the estate. To the world Florence Blythe-Hinckley’'s grandmother was known as Mrs. Kate Perry up to a few weeks ago. Her change of name is due to a marriage which is said to have taken place in Los Angeles on the 22d of last August. The new name by which Mrs. Kate Perry that was will henceforth be known is Byrne, her second husband being John E. Byrne, son of the capitalist, J. M. Byrne. But that has nothing to do with the reason which Mrs. Kate Perry-Byrne may have for hypothecating so much of her contract interest in the Blythe estate, though a special and separate interest attaches thereto as will be seen later on. The attorneys say that Mzs. Kate Perry- Byrne is after another slice of the estate. This, however, is merely an opinion, but 1ady’s action. As is well known, she has a10 per cent contract on the estate with her daughter Florence, which is equiva- lent to $350,000 or $400,000. Ex-Attorney- General Hart holds a similar contract, but that is another story. The fact remains that the books of the County Auditor furnish indubitable proof of a number of transactions of the kind mentioned. In the language of one of the attorneys, who has been actively identifjed with tne celebrated litigation for several years, Mrs. Kate Perry-Byrne has banked ‘on her in- terest to the great profit of those who have been her bankers. One of the legal gen- tlemen goes so far as to say that she has iven in some instances §2 and $3 for one. f{owever true or fallacious that may be can be judred after perusing a transcript of the records. In book 37 of Covenants, page 283, is found the first record of hypothecation. It reads: Kate C. Perry to L. P. Drexler, 2 $10,000 interest in her contract for tue consideration of $10,000 and interest, etc. All ‘of the notes read thatthe money borrowed is to be on loan until such time as the litigation shall come to an end and the estate be distributed. & On page 337, same book, 1s recorded a loan of $4000 obtained by Mrs. Perry from Levi Kowalsky. Page 355, same book, is allotted to Mrs. Perry and W. B. Waldron, the latter hav- ing supplied Mrs. Perry with funds amounting to $3485, at 6 per cent. On page 360 Mr. Waldron is also re- corded as having furnished Mrs. Perry in July, 1895, $2000 for six months, interest at the rate of 2 per cent. One of the most important and signifi- cant records is that found on page 369, same book of covenants, wherein it is set forth that for and in cohsideration of his legal services, Hepburn Wilkins is to re- is put forth as a possible solution of the | ceive 3 per cent of all the moneys which Mrs. Perry realizes from the estate by vir- tue of her contract with Florence. That means twelve or thirteen thousand dollars. On the 14th of August the records show that William Feehan loaned Mrs. Perry, then Mrs. Perry-Byrne, $1500. Mr. Feehan had previous to the date mentioned taken H. I. Kowalsky’s contract. Henry I. Kowalsky on page 250 is re- corded as Mrs. Perry’s creditor in the sum of $45,000. On the same date, March 30, 1892, Kowalsky assigned his contract to Henry J. Lung. Book 39 of Covenants, page 57, contains the record of a loan of $31,500 made by 8. G. Murphy to Mrs. Perry at 8 per cent. On page 69, same book, is found the re- cord of a loan of $8576 80, at 6 per cent, made by A. Fusenot. A loan of $5740, at 10 per cent, isrecorded onl&)ugc 93, same book, from L. P. Drexler to Kate C. Byrne, January 23, 1896. With interést the hypothecations herein specified will approximate about $160,000. Irrespective of any bearing which these figures may have on the theory advanced by some of the attorneys, it is obviously expensive to her as Mrs. Perry and Mrs. Perry-Byrne have lived. But that does not count against a new grandpapa, and from all reports Florence has gracefully accepted Mr. Byrne as the patriarchal paternal head of the family. The marriage of Mrs. Perry to the weil- known capitalist’s son was kept a secret for several months, not being made known until afew daysago. The date of the marriage is given as August 22, 1895, and a comparison of dates reveals a spicy story. Inthe latter part of Augustof last year Mr. Byrne spent twoor three days inthe City. He had with him considerable money and jewelry of the value of $800 or 900. A waiter ati a certain restaurant helped himself to $500 worth of the jew- elry and considerable money. The cul- prit was apprebended and_the money and jewels were recovered. Mr. Byrne de- clined to prosecute and disclaimed all knowledge as to the ownership of the jewels. It aiterward transpired that they were the property of Mrs. Kate C. Perry, then or afterward his wife, and specula- tion was rife as to the cause of the mystery. MRS. GOUGAR'S ITINERARY.
