THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1896 T e O e e e TEN-MILE RECORD GOES In the Club Cup Race H. W. Squires, Acme, Brings It Down to 24:30. EDWARDS IS A WONDER. He Lowers the Eigh(h'. Quarter, Half, Three-Quarter and One Mile Indoor Marks. There was the same close exciting fin- jshes and the same interested, enthuslastic crowd at the Pavilion bicycle races last night which have characterized the previ- | ;) ous nights of the tournament. The men are now so thoroughly accustomed to the tra that they tear around the steep curves with & speed and rpcklessness which seem hazardous in the extreme, when in reality'they are as safe as though upon a perfectly level course. ere is nothing particularly new among the exhibits this week ept the arrival of another sextet, enameled vellow. which is vieing with the maroon-finisied one for re share of the public’s attention. he meet to be held Thursday evening al of this week under the s of the California Assoc ubs will | receive the support of elmen, and as the association wi all the successiul a tidy sum is as- mewhat st benef sured i \ depleted owing for the r Otto Ziegler Jr. w mile against time and Floyd McFarland, w. rill and otherc who have not been seen at the present tournament ¥ in special events. « Osen, J. riey Wells and all the oth men will also ride. ile rodrace.

B.J. , Bay City, won the first heat in ards’ handicap. The t went to C. D.Gooch, Reliance, in 1:04 35, from 60 vards. H. Sternberg, California, won the third from 60 yards in 3 Francisco Road me time nun Club, from 35 B. Freeman, Bay C cap 40 yards. A San Jose rider tvok the sixth hieat, Tony Delmas winning in 1:04 from 30 yards bandicap. G. Krafts, un tached, won the seventh in 1:05 from 55 vards. The eighth went to G. A. McKay, Bay City, 1:04 4-5 from, yards. In this heat B. May, Imperial, had a narrow escape. His wheel slipped on the last turn and he went sliding against the rail- ing. As it was padded he escaped unhurt. Another Bay City won the ninth, A. L. Holling, irom 45 yards, his time being 1:07 2-5 At this juncture the announcer stated that John E.Edwards, the crack of the Olympic Club, would try for the mile in- door record, paced by Ezan and Jaegling of the Imperial Club on a tandem. The pace did not seem very fast at the start, but it livened up perceptibly as the hali-mile mark was passed. His time for the frac- ighth 16 seconds, -5, three-quarters lowers the former Edwards was loudly cheered when the audience learned of "his performance, which was very remarkable, | There were seven heats to the mile scratch, besides two semi-finalsand a final. Delmas, Garden City, won the first heat rather easily J. C. Williamson, Santa Rosa, won the second heatin 2:32, Lefevre, Acme, fell in this heat, and after- ward claimed Williamson fouled him, but his claim was not ailowed. F. L. Daly, Bay City, won the third heat by stealing a march on bis competitors in the sixth lap, keeping the lead thus gained to the finish. Time, 2:39. Met- calf, Imperial, was given the fourth heat ina clese decision between Boyden, Re- liance, and Hall, Bay City. It was one of the prettiest finishes of the evening. Time, 2:29 4-5. In the fifth heat C. D. Bates Jr., Reli- ance, was entered and his well-known abil- ity scared out the other contestants who declined to ride against him. So Bates went the mile alone paced by {. Smith, Garden City. Referee Welch informed him thatin order to qualify for the tinal he must ride his heat under 2:29 4-5, the fastest heat. This was easy for Mr. Bates, for he covered the mile in 2:17, considered very fast time for the track. Next came the ten-mile club cup race, being the final preliminary heat, four hav- ing already been run during previous even- ings of the tournament. The deciding heat will be contested to-night. The start- ers in last night’s heat were William Yeo- man for the Reliance Club Wheelmen, A. A. Ortion, Imperial Cycling Club, and H. W.

Yeoman’s wheel slipped on the next to the last turn and he Jost fully a second regaining his balance. Squires had the lead and won in 24:59 by a small margin. The time made is the worla’s record for an indoor track. The race was very exciting and one of the most interest- ing of the tournament. . The time made is the fastest yet made in any of the trial heats and it was evident before five miles had been covered that the record would be broken.

Rey- naud rode wide on_tne last bank and lost all chances of winning. Gooch won, from sixty vards, in 1:03 4-5; McKay second. In ‘the second semi-final the starters were: G. Krafts, unattached; T. Pelmas, Garden City; A. B. Holling, Bay City, and H. Sternberg, California. Delmas rode a pretty race, and won in a fine finish in 1:03 3-5, from thirty yards. He was loudly ieecred for his splendid performance. rafts was second. i o The first semi-final of the one-mile invi- tation came next, those who had qualitied being F. L. Day, Bay City; C. D.

Boyden, Reliance. Delmas took the 1esd on the sixti lap and was never headed, though the other two préssed him hard. The time was & 3-5.

D. Bates Jr., Reliance; T. Delmas, Garden City, and J. Williamson, Santa Rosa. The men all had admirers in the audience, and though the hour was late every one stayed to see the finish of this event. It wasa pretty race, and Delmas won in a hot fin- ish, “Williamson second, Bates third. Time, 2:31. SUMMARY : Half mile, handica st heat—Won by B. ¥ City. Time, 1:05 4°5. Second heat—C. D.

The Veteran Wishes to Benefit His Own City and Help to Make Bone and Sinew for the State. Enterprising Stockton comes once more to the front—this time with a generous offer of another site for the proposed Wil- merding School. g Sites have been offered by San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley, and Governor Budd has already urged the claims of Stockton before the regents of the university, who have the power of selection. For every lo- cation offered special advantages have been advanced with all the cogency elicited by | the magnitude of the incentiv Stockton’s latest offer, however, pos- sesses peculiar force owing to the person- are already upon the site and are waiting for & report from a committee sent out here to in- vestigate, and upon the report they will pre- sent those who have signified their Intention {g Jo:n the colony will come to this State and cate.”” The committee is composed of William E. Smythe, president of the National Colonial Society; John C. Fortiner of Chicago, treasurer of the National Colo- nial Society; Thaddens B. Wakeman, president of the New York Colonial Club; Judge C. D. F. Smith, president of the Chicago Colonial Club; Frank H. Baldwin, president of the Colonial Ciub of Worces- ter County, Mass.; Theodore N. Case, Mrs. Roger Prosser, Theodore Perry and E. J. Holden of Chicago, Charles A. Willis and H. R. T. Coffin of New York. “If this colony is a success (and we seeno ob- stacle in the way of success) we shall establish other colonies on the same lines and bring here a class of people who will save the State,” said Mr. Wekeman, but, stopping for a mo- ment, he added: “No, not save the State, for it does not need saving, but a class oi people who will help develop it. The tract of land embraces between 6 d 7000 acres. A por- ton of it will be set aside for a village, for manufacturing interests and the remainder be aivided into twenty and forty acre iarms, to be disposed of to families in fee simple, including wood and water, with five years to make pay- ments. The land will be sold at #65 an acre, and for each acre owned cach colonist, who will not be permitted to hold more than one piece of property, must pay $20 into the manu- facturing association, which will erect a creamery and a packing and canning works. The idea is to raise iruit, hogs and dairy prod- ucts and use the Sacramento River for trans- porting the produets. 3 “There will not be any religion cr politics in the colony scheme, which is to be conducted on Populistic lines, and this I believe is the first of the system that will break up large ranches in this State.” Mr. Smythe, in explanation of the man- James Gillis of Stockton. a State Pioneer and President of the Union Tramspor- tation Company, Who Has Just Offered the Berkeley University Regents a Valuable Site at Stockton for the Wilmerding School. |Sketched from life by a ‘ Call” artist.] ality of the man who makes it. This 1s | ner of conducting the proposed colony, none other than James Gillis, pioneer |said: miner and miller, and latteriy president of the Union Transportation Company, which runs a competing line of steamers between this City and Stockton. Al- though in his sitxy-ninth year, Mr. Gillis is vigorous and full of fire and fight. He is well acquainted with the different parts of the State and is convincea that Stockton 1s tne best location for the school. He offers twenty acres of the Ernest tract, situated two and one-half miles from Stockton in a well-settled, well-shel- tered neighborhcod, having excellent water in plenty at hand. He guarantees a perfect title to the land, which he values at $200 an acre. The soil, he says, is ex- ceedingly rich, being now cultivated asa vineyard, which has borne grapes for forty vears. The site is, moreover, directly on the line of the new Valley road, making it extremely accessible. Mr. Gillis droppad into town yesterday with his public-spirited offer, and_was not backward in puiting on record his appre- ciation of Stockton. “I make this offer,” he said, “for sev- eral reasons. First, I want to do some- thing for Stockton. It is a great town, and the Valley road willmake it a greater, and I am willing to do my share in the work. ““Then I want to get a school that will set the idle loafers to work. There is not the strength in the young men that there used to be. The soil and trades are not good enough for them. They want to be gentlemen—come to the city, wear good clothes and have a quill stuck be- hind their ear. The Wilmerding school will teach them something useful. “Last of all, my wife got into some charitable scheme and wants me to build a home for aged people, and I thought I would do something for the boys, too. So I just thougbt I would offer this tract. “Transportation facilities are all right. There will_be the Valley road, and rates from San Francisco to Stockton are down to four bits—and they will never be hlfher because I won't allow it, that's all, 1 have plenty of means and I intend to use them as I please as long as I live. “I have been fighting opposition and monopoly for fifteen years and dropped $100,000 each year, but I intend to stay with 1t because there is something in Stockton and that something is worth developing. She‘hasn’t got any place like a Wilmerding School, but she ought to have. She has one of toe finest libraries and the best climate in the world. Whether the city gets the school or not it has a great future before it.” Mr. Gillis has interests in several banks and mills in Stockton and neighborhood beside owning considerable real estate. He built and ran the Union mill, making $100,000 out of the venture. He was after- ward connected with the Farmers’ Ware- house. He came to California in 1849 and, according to his own account, has a wife and “‘six or seven” children. WILL FOUND A COLONY Prominent Eastern Men Expect to Establish One in Tehama. They Have Arrived Here and Will Bring Out Five Hundred Families. Thaddeus B. Wakeman of New York, for many years identified with the Popu- list movement in that State and at one time candidate for the office ot Secretary of State, is at the Grand in company with a party interested in the foundation of a colony on the New England plan in Te- hama County. _ “We have secured the Ashurst wheat ranch, near Kirkwood, in Tehama County,” said Mr. Wakeman, “and we exPect to locate upon 1t about five hundred families. Twenty families We shall have public ownership. In the management of our several small industries we shall use the method of commereial associ- ation modeled upon the California Fruit Ex- change system. As every colonist subscribes to the common capital so all are joint owners in these public and Meml-&ub]ic prorerlie! The government will that of the New England town meeting, our stockholders ex- ercising the power of direct legislation and conferring administrative functions upon their chosen servants. But the sphere of associated man is extended also to the social organization of the commun- ity. The colony capital provides for the pur. chase and improvement of the village center and the purchaser of a 20-acre farm receives an acre lot in the village, where he will make his home among neighbors and close to church, kindergarten, schools, postofiice and store. Thus we combine the advantages of the town with the independence won from the soil. The social heart of the community will be Colonial Hall, which will be in the shape of a quudrnn¥le. inclosing a beautiful placita. One side of the placita will be a little hall seating ebout 500 people. This wil! be avail- able for meetings and entertainments. The opposite side will be the men’s clubroom, with billiard apd pool tables and other accessories essential to masculine comfort. The other two rooms will be devoted to the public library and the women’s clubroom, for Ashurst will recog- nize the new womsn in all its institutions. Thus while we do meny things in co-opera- tion, we are really only shareholders under the familiar forms of the joint stock company, while every colonist is absolutely his own man in the sense that he is independent on his own property and receives the benefit o1 his indivi- dual skill and industry. - REAL-ESTATE AUCTIONS.

RYAN ON ROMANISM The Speaker Deals With the Subject From a Historic Standpoint. DONALD M. ROSS PRECEDES HIM America the Battle-Ground of the Hottest Part of the Religious Conflict. Last night the Metropolitan Temple was well filled with the enthusiastic adherents of the American Protective Association. They were delighted with a few stirring words from their favorite orator, the Rev. Donald M. Ross, and greeted his appear- ance with prolonged applause. M. T. Brewer, State secretary of the association, introduced the speakers. Mr. Ross said in the course of his re- marks: “I am pleased always to be in any reform, and the Teason is that I am a born fighter. I do like to get into a fight that lasts, even thouzh it lasts ten years. “Inu long fight you have achance to get in some noble and telling strokes, and I atssure you I have not struck my hardest et. L ‘The enemy have realized that it is bet- ter to turn tail and run than to stay and leave their carcases on the field of battle.” Major T. C. Ryan, the speaker of the evening, succeeded Mr. Ross and delivered an address replete with patriotic senti- ments, throughout the length of which he was frequently interrupted with applause. He spoke on the subject of “Truth Told, or Romanism as It Is, Was, and Ever Shall Be.”” He spoke in part as follows: From the year 312 A. D. when the Roman Emperor Constantine pretended to have seen aluminous cross in the skv, down to the pres- ent moment the Roman Catholic church has been a crafty, venomous persecutor of all op- posed to its teachings. It was this monarch who changed the gov- ernment of the church from its primitive sim- plicity and laid the cornerstone upon which the present structure was reared. The history of Romanism from this time for- ward has been characterized by arrogance, cunning, craft and an ambition to exercise su- premé power not only over the church but over the state as well. Itis interesting to recall the circumstances regarding the institution of papal supremacy because it furnishes one of the earliest in- stances of the exercise of miscalled religious liberty. The patriarch Boniface was head of the Roman Catholic church during the time of Emperor Flavius Tiberius Mauricius, and it was he who received a certain centurion, Pho- cas, who managed tp have himself proclaimed Emperor. Phocas conferred upon Boniface the title of universal bishop with the privilege of handing it down to his successors, decree- ing at the same time that the church of Rome should be head over all churches. By this you can readily see that Romanism, conceived in sin and iniquity, has continued for twelve hundred long years. We hear it said that the inquisition is a thir- teenth-century atrocity. How many know that papal prelates sl exercise inquisitorial powers? and yet it is a fact. The Roman tribunal now in existence-is tnat established by Pope Sextus V in 1588, which was styled the Holy Roman and Universal In- quisition. It seems that in all its perversion of history Romanism has forgotten that historic truth is as much indestructible a®matter itself. Some- how or other in the archives of the world God preserves it. Men may cover it up by false rubbish and damning theories, but Iike the Son of God it carries an unquenched heart through the grave of its burial, and in spite of brute force and watchfulauthority this eternal truth of American history stands agsin to-day looking back with eyes of immortality to curse the entire Roman Catholic hierarchy for falsifying the truth of the history of the best Government that has ever existed. Rome says she believes in religious liberty and seeks to control the conscience of no one. The deception of the devil when he took the son of God upon the mountaintop and offered him the kingdoms of the earth would he only worship him s nothing in comparison with the claims of the Romanists. The great central principle of Romanism is prohibition of free exercise of conseience. In this country we are in the hottest part of a mighty conflict; the organized and unorgan- ized patriotism of our beloved country has formed its line of battle under the dear flag of old liberty. We have formed no alliance with politicians, who stand in the background trembling as Lhef see their schemes dwind- ling. From the silent chambers of our noble and patriotic dead, from the pantheon of the past, there comes a voice thundering into our ears, “‘On, on, onward, ye lion-hearted men of liberty."” We will work up to the fact that the only way to fight the deviltry of Romanism is fear- lessly. Raise your volce now, for in a little while, if not careful, it will be at the peril of your life.

Buildings to Be Grouped in Harmony. More Land Expected From the Government. Regents of the State University met yes- terday afternoon and discussed ina gen- eral way a proposition to adopt sone fixed plan for the future construction of build- ings at Berkeley. The session was at- tended by Regents Wallace (presiding), Houghton, Marye, Kellogg, Bartlett, Hal- lidie, Martin, Reinstein, Crocker, Chase and Slack. Secretary Bonte and Attorney Mhoon were also present. Mr. Reinstein introduced the subject of adopting permanent plany for the ideal university of the future, and incidentally imparted the knowledge that he had writ- ten to many of the great architects of the country and to many of the important col- leges of the land for suggestions. The re- sult was the receipt of hundreds of letters and the visit to this coast of great archi- tects, who had come to survey the site and give an idea of the scope of the work con- templated. He explained to the regents that it was now time that something shoula be done toward the adoption of a grand permanent scheme for the grouping of the buildings— a plan in harmony with the importance and dignity of the institution. The lines should be marked on which the growth of a century should follow. He desired that the topic should be fully discussed at a special meeting, and contended that no time should be lost in approaching the consideration of the question. The next Legislature would doubtless be called upon to appropriate money to erect per- manent buildings at Berkeley. George T. Marye fully coincided with the views ex'gzessed by his collea:ue, Mr, Reinstein. The question was one that transcended all other propositions, al- though it was not new. The university in this proposed work should have the service of the mos: capable architectsand engi- neers of acknowledged eminence. J. West Martin fully approved of the sentiments expressed. He spoke of what had been done by the committee on build- ing and grounds, observing that the policy pursued in the past favored the disburse- | ment of money for education. Now it was | time to consider plans for grouping in har- mony the buildings to be erected in the future. g In the discussion Regents Hallidie, Bart- Jett, Houghton, Slack, Wallace and Kel- logg participated. : {Farious motions and suggestions were made and finally the sense of the board was expressed by the adoption of an amendment offered by Judge Slack to hold a special meeting April 28 to consider the subject. % In the recular order of business the resignation was accepted of Dr. W. F. Mec- Nutt as professor of diseases of the heart and kidneys, pest graduate department. The doctor still remains as a professor in the university. % W. H. Rees, graduate student in chem- istry, was made honorary assistant. Professor Wright was granted leave of absence to_study in another university. President Kellogg sought to make it clear | that Professor Stringham desired that his | assistants should go elsewhere for new lines of thougnt and training. 3 Professor Howison, through President | Kellogg, put in a petition to extend Mr. | Stratton’s leave of absence until September 15. It seems that Stratton is getting new lines of thought in Leipsic and desires to complete his work there. 2 Judge Wallace appeared to hesitate about the justice of paying salaries to pro- fessors studying abroad, but with some obv.ous reluctance voted to let them draw ay. " At the suggestion of Professor Hilgard, expressed by President Kelioggz, A. B. Stubenrauch” waus appeinted foreman of the Paso Robles station, and Mr. Winter- hauiter was appointed secretary in place of Stubenrauch. The vast volume of French and German correspondence was the reason given for these appointments. Bills aggregating $4776 were read and or- dered paid. Grorge T. Marye, from the committee on internal administration, mentioned that there was a bill pending in Congress to equalize the land grants to State universi- ties, and that if it passed the Berkeley in- stitution would be the gainer. Therefore he suggested that our representatives at Washington should be requested to favor | the bill. | It was brought out in the discussion that the bill allows 30,000 acres for each | representative in Congress. From that | allowance there shall be deducted the | amount already received. So California | with her seven nmtembers of the House of Representatives and two Senators would get nine times 20,000 acres, or 270,000 acres, from which must be deducted 46,000 acres. Under the bill the University of California | gains 224,000 acres. A committee consisting of President Kellogg, General Houghton and George T. Marye was appointed to advocate the passage of the bill. | President Kellogg reminded the regents | that charter day, March 23, would be ob- | served at Berkeley. | The portrait of ex-Regent Horatio Steb- | bins is ready and a committee will be ap- | pointed to receive it from the donors and place it in proper position in the library. The time for which Celumbus Bartlett was appointed to serve as regent has ex- | pired. ~ Judge Wallace ruled yesterday | that Mr. Bartlett was eatitled to partici- pate in the proceedings of the board until his successor qualitied | The time for which ’ imothy Guy Phelps | was appointed has also expired. | The power of appointment is vested in | the Governor. | WILL NOT BE CONTEWPT, The Petaluma Savings Bank | May Secure Its Liens. Another Phase of the White Divorce Case Settled by the Supreme Court. Another one of the many frayed ends to | the White divorce suit has been clipped off by the Supreme Court. The Petaluma | Savings Bank has been allowed to com- | mence proceedings to foreclose a lien it | has upon George White’s property. Just after Frankie White was granted a divorce from George E. White she was al- lowed $200 a month alimony, the same to | be drawn from the community property if | sufficient and if not from White’s sepa- | rate property. It was afterward ascer- tained that there was no community prop- | erty. This being the case Mrs. White was allowed $100,000 from White's separate property and a_receiver was appointed to take charge of his effects until the money was paid. In the meantime the Petaluma Savings Bank had acquired a second mortzage against White’s property and they wanted to bring foreclosure proceedings. But the receiver in charge threatened to bring con- tempt proceedings if such action was taken, so the bank appealed to Judge Heb- bard for an order restraining the receiver from interfering. The order was denied and then the Supreme Court was asked for a writ of mandate compelling Judge Hebbard to grant the order. The Supreme Court denies the writ, but does so in a way which wakes it a victory for the bank. The order, it says, should have been granted. The bank was merely taking steps to secure its lien and no con- tempt proceedings could be had against it. The receiver cannot by contempt pro- ceedings prevent the bank from securing | its rights. It was contended that the judgments under which the bank claimed were fraudulent, and of this the Supreme Court says: It its jnagments are fraudulent the receiver is pursuing the proper course in suing to set them aside, but it may be that he wiil not sue- ceed in establishing this fraud which he as- ———————————————————— X NEW TO-DAY.
