ENTITLED TO THE PLACE John Seymour May Be Made the Head of the Detective Department. THE RIOTS OF OLDEN DAYS. Two Officers Subdue Sixteen Soldiers With Two Pickets Torn From a Fence. Captian I. W. Lees is to succeed Patrick Crowley, who resigned as Chief of Police | last Saturday, and John Seymour is to be- | come the head of the detective department | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 2, 1896. on him, and the death of his last boy within thetweek has almost unstrung his nervous system, ““This is very hard,” he said feelingly, “and I am feeling biue.” This_admission from Chief Crowley, made in the privacy of his office to a re- porter who has interviewed him almost daily for the past seventeen years without getting more than purely business facts, is indicative of the tremendous strain un- der which he is laboring. Well, if the Chief feels blue that color is nothing as compared to the coloring of his men’s feelings. All along the line, no matter on what beat an officer was found and interrogated, the answer was the same. hi‘x:"y’e‘u never get another Chief like Chief Crowley, from what his men say, has endeared himself to them as few lead- ers have ever done anywhere. While he was strict, they say, he was always fair, They were talking last evening around the assembly-room at the new ity Hall, They were old-timers like George Birdsall, Harry Reynolds, Jim Gillen, Harry Hook, John Martin and others connecied with the various stations abont the city. They have been in the department for many years, but the Chief was in it before them and the force was not so large as to cause hxst ;eedu to be cast about, spread and for- gotten, _They recalled his first claim to distinc- tion when he had been Chief only about three days. It was when a quarrel arose between white men and Chinese at the corner of Front and Sacramento streets in 1866, With a handful of men on whom he could depend he rushed in between the two factions. It was about the time when the hatred for Chinese labor was budding, and to take the part of the Mongolian was almost taking one’s life in his hands. It was shortly after this that Crowley got the starter for the reputation he has now of having quelled more riots with less bloodshed than any Chief of Police in the world. It was during the railroad troubles in the Potrero in 1867. Again it was trouble between whites and Chinese. The Captain I. W. Lees, Who Is Recommend led by Chief Crowley as His Suecessor. in Lees’ place. ount everywhere the matter is discussed, and especially in police circles. Captain Wittman, whose name has been | mentioned in connection with the chief- | tainship, stated yesterday that he saw no 5 reason for the same. . “Captain Lees is the man who is needed | in that position,” he said. “He is not | only entitled to it by virtue of length of service, but for competency. There is not | a thing that has transpired in the depart- | ment in the past forty years, nor is there a communication with foreign police depart- ments regarding police matters, that the captain is not thoroughly familiar with. | He has everything in this connection at | his fingers’ ends, and there is no man liv- | ing, excepting the Chief, who could as- sume the enormous responsibility of the office and do it justice.” ‘I'hat is the forecast given , | Captain Wittman is one of the youngest | men on the force in point of service. He | has only been a year in his present posi- | whites outnumbered the Chinese three to one. They threw the cars over the embank- ment and burned up the shanties where the enemy lived. At that time there were but seventy men on the police force, in- cluding prison-keepers, clerks and non- combatauts. Crowley enlisted them all, but as horses enough could not be hired or got only thirty reactied the scene of con- flict. Those were wild times, and either ound advice or a good, sound rashing had to be administered. The Chief, riding up in the midst of the 3000 rioters, adopted the milder course. *“Now, look here!” he exclaimed from | the saddle on his horse, attracting the at- | tention of the men who were gathering, “I am Chief of Police, and I don’t want any rioting in this county. If you want to make trouble I'll get out here and give vou a battle. If you lick me your victory will only be a short one, and I’ll be bacl | and will give you the soundest licking you ever got in your lives. “If you don’t want trouble move on to your homes when I order my men to charge.” John Seymour, Who Will Probably Succee {Drawn by d Captain L. W. Lee: the Head of the Detective Department. a “Call” artist from a photograph.] tion and he has already distinguished him- seif. His juodgment 1s so well guarded that he is the one who has been chosen by the Police Commissioners to make a three months’ tour of the East to study police methods there so as to introduce their best points here when he returns. It is generally understood, nnyhow, that the recommendation of Chief Crowley as to who should be his successor in office will be accepted and acted upon by the Police Commissioners. The Chief said yesterday: “I will recommend to the Commissioners that they appoint Captain Lees. I do not know any man who could také charge of the department with as firm a hand and with the knowledge of its requirements as he can. Idonot think that I could have torn myself away if it had not been that [ knew Lees was there to take my place.” The Chief was very sad as he spoke. His voice was choked and his eyes dim. The past few days have weighed heavily The order to charge was given, and the thirty mounted officers cleared away the 3000 rioters in thirty minutes. But the most exciting time the Chief had was in the first year of his appoint- ment. It seems that even the Goldenson riot was tame as compared to ‘it. It was when little four-year old Mageie Ryan was assaulted and murdered by a fiend named Charles Quinn, who was subsequently sen- tenced to life imxrimnmam at San Quen- tin, and who died there. The entire City was wild over the matter. Captain Lees and the Chief were out doing regular }dvollea duty asa patrolman might do to- ay. They captured the murderer and were taking him from the wharf to the old City Prison on Washington and Kearny streets. The mob, shouting and in- creasing at every block, wanted to take Quinn and lynch him, but as fast as they would approach they were driven back. Finally when Dunbar alley was reached and the mob saw the man escaping from their grasp, they followed one burly fellow who was in the capacity of a leader. They rushed in to get Quinn. Chief Crowley let go the prisoner and turned on the leader. Bang! Bang! went his right and left fists and the leader and his first assistant lay prone on the ground. By this time Captain Lees was doing some good work, too. He had knocked down one man and rushed his prisoner into the ail. 2 The Goldenson and i_nnd!g; mns are very modern in cor:parison e ones megfioned. but they only added laurels to Chief Crowley’s wreath as a capable gen- eral. * Captain 1. W. Lees, who is 0 replace Chief Crowley, is the oldest police officer in the United Statesif not in the world. He is better known than any other man to the foreign police departments, and as an authority in criminal matters, he stands pre-eminent. X Less wasa plain patrolman forty-four years ago in this City. is courage and astuteness were such that he soon went to the front. Of course he had some set- backs, but he overcame them always with great credit to himself. There is one pleasant incident the old timers relate about him. It was in 1861, at the beginning of the war. The New York Fourteenth Regiment was stationed out here. These soldiers were generally regarded as the riff-raff of the Federal army, and it is conceded that the *Bloody Four- teenth,” as they were called had earned the title. & Hampton North was City Marshal in those days, a position equal to that of Chief of Police. He took umbrage at some real or imaginary thing that Lees had done and punished him by a detail out near the Presidio. That was where the soldiers held out, and it was almost worth any man's life to go into that neighbor- hood. Lees was undaunted, however, and he steered straight to the soldiers’ resort, a shady saloon where they spent their time and money. “Hamp’ North, as he was called, was not a bad man at heart, and he thought he too had better follow out in Lees’ wake, with the dual idea that he woula see if his patrolman did his duty and also help him in doing it. Both officers reached there about the same time, and, as usual, there was a fight in progress. There were sixteen men in the battle, and Lees and North realized their inability to prevent the melee. All they had was their revolvers, and they did not feel like shooting the soldiers down, so they retired | for a consultation. North didn’t know what to do, but Lees did. He jumped out and tore two pickets off the fence. One he gave to North and the other he took and started into the sa- loon. “Stop that fighting!” he shouted, “or we'll take every mother’s son of you to jail.” The situation appeared so preposterous that the soldiers closed in on the two officers and the fun began. Lees and North 1a1d out nine soldiers and the others fled for their lives. The picture of those two policemen marching in nine badly bat- tered Government soldiers and locking them up in the old calaboose was a sight to_behoid. When it was all over North turned to Lees, put out his hand. ard said: “‘Shake, I'll never mistrust you again.” It was shortly after that that Lees had an encounter with a desperate individual he placed under arrest in front of the old Pennsylvania engine-house. He was shot three times, the bnllets penetrating the chest and running along the ribs to the back. His battles and shooting scrapes with criminals since those old times have been so numerous that it would take volumes to relate them. Suffice it to say that not only Lees has shown himself to be a CELTS WILL CELEBRATE The Anniversary of Emmet’s Birthday at Metropolitan Hall. ARRANGEMENTS ARE ALL MADE St. Patrick’s Day to Be Observed With Irish Music, Song and Oratory at Woodward’s. There was much bustle and excitement about the Knights of the Red Branch Hall yesterday afternoon when Irish-American citizens gathered in large numbers to dis- cuss affairs in relation to forthcoming celebrations of national scope and char- acter. The Emmet men were in one hall while the St. Patrick’s day convention was in progress in another. All were most enthusiastic and the proceedings of both bodies were punctuated with dashes of sentiments and periods of oratpry. The headquarters generally had thé appear- ance of a State political convention in full blast. The Knights of the Red Branch com- pleted arrangements for the observance of the one hundred and eighth anniversary of the birth of Robert Emmet, the bril- liant young Irishman, whom historians record as a martyr to the principles of Irish independence. This element of the Celtic race that has long kept alive the memory of the young patriot has also maintained a ceaseless warfare against England as the hereditary foe of their native Ireland. At the meeting yesterday it was decided to give ex-Congressman John F. Finerty, who will arrive here on Tuesday morning, and who will lecture at Metrovolitan Hall on the following evening, a rousing recep- tion. Every Irishman of note in the City will extend the glad hand to the great ora- tor and leader. Many will leave to-night for Tracy to meet the coming statesman. Others will go up to Port 50315 in the morning. Among the delegates that will meet Colonel Finerty are the following: . J. O’Brien (chairman), Dr. P. J. O’Neill, Thomas Desmond, Judge Cooney, Colonel John O'Byrne, Colonel J. C. O’Connor, Captain J. Sheehy, William F. Coleman, Thomas Crowley, J.J. Coniffe, Thomas B. O’Brien, Joseph King, P.J. Halligan, Jobn Kilmede, John Doyle, Michael Gaul, Michael Mannix, Thomas Degnan, Michael Flannary, Charles Shee- han, David Russell, Jeremiah Deasy, Frank T. Shea, Matt O'Donnell, John T. Tynan. Following the K. R. B. meeting the Em- met Council of the Irish National Alliance held a spirited session. President Thomas Crowley occupied the chair. Speeches were made by a number of delegates. “If it were not for the K. R. B. men,” said Dr. O’Neill, “many would not know when Emmet was born. Itis such organi- zations that keep his name alive. Now, Mr. Finerty is coming here at our invita- { tion, He comes to place the Irish cause where it belongs. He comes to spread the quette’s story of “Rip Van Winkle’ in song. Ferris Hartman has been cast for the title role and Carrie Roma, whose voice has not been heard in this house for two years, will appear in the character of Gretchen, Van Winkle's wife, Another attractive bill is to be presented to the patrons of the Orpheum Music Hall thisevening. A number of new people are to make their appearance in specialties that are said to rank among the best. Willis and Collins, travesty sketch artists, will present a travesty on “Pygmalion and Galatea.” A concert will be given this evening in the Auditorium by the Glee and Mandolin Clubs of the University of California. The capabilities of the Glee Club are well known, but the Mandolin Club, which was organized but a few months ago, will make its first appearance. BICYCLE TOURNAMENT. Records to Be Lowered at the Mechan- ics’ Pavilion. One of the great attractions in the near future will be the tournament and cycle show at the Mechanisc’ Pavilion, which will open on the 5th inst. Members have been entered’ from all the principal clubs of the State, and the way the boys are training assures us that rec- ords will be knocked skv-high. The use of the track at the pavilion has been given the contestants for training purposes, and fully 500 cyclers were prac- ticing yesterday afternoon, and will con- tinue to do so daily until the beginning of the races on March 5. THE CANTATA OF ESTHER A Highly Successful Entertain- ment by the Children of Beth Israel. It Was Given in Celebration of the Great Jewish Feast of Purim. Congregation Beth Israel has good cause to feel proud, not only of its Sabbath- school pupils, butof its efficient and pains- taking rabbi, who conceived and made feasible the highly successful presentation of the drama and cantata of “Esther” at the Native Sons’ Hall last night, in cele- bration of the Jewish feast of Purim. The large hall was taxed to its utmost long before the signal was given for the raising of the curtain. The castof the play comprised 112 of the Sabbath-school children. It consisted of three acts, and incidentally some very pretty effects were produced by the Oriental dancing of a corps of twenty-three children, none over 13 years of age, who showed most eflicient training. The story of the play is the well-known one of the threatened destruction of the Hebrew people of the kingdom of Persia through the machinations of Haman, and their preservation by the intercession of Queen Esther, a Jewess, throngh whose in- fluence not only were the Jews spared, but | doctrine of Irish independence, and every | Haman, their "arch enemy, was hanged ANGEMENTS Prominent Figures in the Forthcoming Emmet Anni\:ersary Celebration at Metropolitan Hall, | Drawn by a “Call” artist from photographs.] “game’’ and determined man, but he is re- garded as one of the cleverest detectives in the world. John Seymour, who is regzardéd as the most likely successor to Captain Lees, has been on the force about eleven years. One year of this he was on patrol duty; two years he did special work, and during the past eight years he has been in the “upper office’” as a detective. He bas been the companion of Captain Lees all this time and has the benefit of his thirty years’ experience. Seymour is a young man, comparatively speaking. He has a charmingfamily, con- sisting of a wife and six bright children. He neither drinks nor smokes, and is a clever and clear-minded man. 8 A RUNAWAY ACCIDENT. Three People Injured in a Collision on Golden Gate Avenue. There was a serious runaway accident on Golden Gate avenue and Franklin street late vesterday afternoon which re- sulted in the injury of three people. J. Gout and his sister Julia and Miss Annie Mistreau, who are interested in a laundry on Larkin street, near Post, attended a funeral in the afternoon. On their way back from the Odd Fellows' Cemetery their horse became unmanageable and ran away, Near the corner of Golden Gate avenue and Franklin street the buggy col- lided with a coupe and the three were hurled to the ground. . Miss Mistreau was picked up in an un- conscious condition and removed to the Receiving Hospital. For a time it was believed that her injuries were of such a character as to prove fatal, but later in the evening she recovered and was removed to the French Hospital. Miss Gout was badly bruised about the head, body and limbs. She was sent to the French Hospital with her friend. Gout’s legs were badly bruised and sprained, but not so serious as to necessitate his 1going to the hospital. The buggy was badly wrecked. e other vehicle and occupants had a narrow escape. It belongs to M. Rosen- thal of 1410 Fulton street. The driver was thrown from his seat, but he held to the lines and was dngfl?g along the ground for some distance before the reins were pulled from his bands. At this point Charles Myers of 26 West Mission street sprang from the sidewalk, seized the terri- ‘fied animals by the bits and after much effort suc ed in bringing them to a stop, not without much danger to himself. But for his bravery the carriage would have been dashed to pieces and the occu- pants killed or serionslyginjured, - Irishman should aid in giving him a true Irish welcome.” Messrs. Coniffe, Dolan, Dempsy, Ford, Hanlon and Crushman_were appointed a committee to receive Mr. Finerty on be- half of the alliance. The meeting of the 8t. Patrick’s con- vention .in the afternoon was largely at- tended. Thomas R. Bannerman occupied the chair. The different committees re- ported everything progressing favorably for the celebration at the new Woodward’s pavilion on March 17. It was decided to engage Rouncovieri's band for the after- noon of St. Patrick’s day and Casassa’s Band for the evening, Irish and Amer- ican national airs will be plaved. There will be stereopticon views of Ireland, Irish vocal and _instrumental music and an oration by J. F. Sullivan. THE PLAYHOUSES. The Programmes for This Evening Offer a Variety of Amusement for Theater Goers. The programme at the Baldwin Theater this evening has upon it “King Lear,” which for the first time in eleven years will be presented by an American actor. Frederick Warde will appear in the titie role and will be supported by a strong company, Miss Gillette appearing as Cordelia. At the Columbia this evening the lead- ing character in *‘A Railroad Ticket” will be assumed by Eugene Canfield, who is well known in connection with the Hoyt comedies. The piece is said to abound in bright witty dialogue and there is another attraction in the shape of pretty girls. “A Midnight Flood” is the title of the play thatis to be produced at the Grand Opera-house this evening. The play to be presented is one that is full of sensational situations and realistic tableaux, one of which is the Johnstown flood that oc- curred some ten years ago. Manager Grover at the Alcazar will this evening offer the romantic opera of “Fra Diavolo” with the full (m'xui of!ths Carleton Company. The principal charac- afi:‘:illbe&keyn by W?T. Czrluton and by Miss Rosa Atkinson, the prima donna ‘whose voice has charmed the audiences at this house. The Tivoli Omu management will place on the boards to-night Plane from the very gibbet he, as Vizier, had erected for Mordecai the cousin of Queen Esther. c Charles Van Vliet made a right royal King and Tessie Harris a no less modest and charming Queen, while Herbert Cra- mer took off the villainous part of Haman with such skill asto evoke hisses from some of the interested spectators. In the grand finale came the most enter- taining feature of the production. This was a special dance by little Adele Morgen- stern and Master Abe Myrson, neither of whom had seen more than nine summers. 8o well were their effosts to amuse appre- ciated that they were repeatedly encored, and when they finally were allowed to re- tire the floral tributes showered upon them required all their united strength to carry off the stage. At the conclution of the performance Rabbi M. S. Levy thanked the audience for their presence and support and an- nounced that M. J. Waldheimer and Miss Miriam B. Levy had won the medals promised to those who had sold the great- est number of tickets for last night's entertainment. Mrs, Waldheimer sold 590 and Miss Miriam B. Levy, a danghter of the rabbi, 540. He also specially thanked Mrs. Louis Morgenstern, Mrs. Simon Myrson for their energetic and intelligent ~work, which largely aided to make the affair a success. In concluding, he invited all the children of the Sabbath school present, some 300 in number, to the banquet hall, where ice cream, cakes, candies and sandwiches were provided without stint. It is estimated thatthe entertainment netted about $1000, which will be used for the benefit of the Sabbath school. AN ARTIST’S SUICIDE. William H. Byrnes Cuts His Throat ‘With a Small Pocket-Knife While Despondent. William H. Byrnes, the illustrator and engraver of 611 Clay street, committed sui- cide yesterday evening. He had been financially unfortunate of late and this preyed upon his mind, making him de- spondent. He had also been drinking rather heavily. Yesterday he went to the home of his parents, at 1939 Lexington avenue, about 9 Ay He was perfectly sober, but it was evident that he was much depressed. He was nervous and out of sorts and spoke de- spairingly. Late in the afternoon he went to his old 7 room and locked the door. An hour later his father, William H. Byrnes. heard a noise of kicking on the floor. He tried to enter the room, but could not. He got no answer to his frantic calls, though he heard a queer gasping souund. He ran at once for a surgeon. Together they broke open the door to find the young artist dead upon the floor, with two great ashes in his neck and_the bloody pocket- lgmiie with which the deed was committed at his side. The deceased was 38 years of age and unmarried. NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS. s AN A L NAYMAN Bi ! IMI Ano Co, |NCORP'D HEATRE "\ PROPS. SECOND AND LAST WEEK-MR.
