= § THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 18Y6. 11 HAINEY GIRDS HIM FOR THE FIGRT And the Buckleyites Pre- pare for Whoop and Battle. MASS-MEETINGS GALORE Sam and Daggett Control and E. P. E. Troy Denounces the Junta. MAGUIRE DECLARES IT AGAIN. The Democratic Factions May Battle Even at the National Conven- tion at Chicago, Gavin 3icNab has done the final thing necessary to make him a full-fledged, regu- | lar and master boss. He has given it out that he will retire from politics, though he may advise with friends occasionally in the interest of good government. Christopher A, Buckley is out of pali- tics that way. So is Samuel Rainey. Rainey tells everybody that he is out of | polities, though some of his friends come | to him for adyice, and a short time ago he | told one of the Junta leaders that the only | connection he had with John Dagzett polit- | ically resulted from Daggett’s coming here | a stranger to local poiitics and his needing somebedy to give him some pointers. Boss McNab, who runs the Junta the interest of Rainey, Daggett. Welburn | and Lanigan, by superintending things | generally and telling Chairman Sullivan | what to do, has been fairly busy this week | refuting a startling intimation from the Buckley side that he and Chairman Gould carrjed through an A. P. A. scheme last Saturday. 'he Junta has done nothing since Satur- | day except glory in the victory achieved when the State Central Committee de- lared them the regular local organization. They are highly confident now and propose | to go right ahead. The State Central Committee meeting | baving passed there is no longer so good a | reason why Rainey should lie iow in the brush. Much trouble in the organization | is anticipated over the exercise of control which Rainey and Daggett are generally conceded to possess. Heretofore Gayin McNab has shrewdly kept to the official frout the decent men in the organization, who are sincerely inter- in clean politics, but who are no | shakes when it comes to practical | Francisco politics. There was a| ary committee of twenty-five, largely 1 sed of such men, and there wasa of twenty-five appointed to com committee sok after the State Central Committee. | itration committes is about to be | ted to straighten out the dnsuict} ese committees are all appointed irman Sullivan for Gavin McNab, | 1 occasionally they are called upon to | tify something that McNab and Sullivan | ide on. These committees comprise | the men who are openly at the frontand | who appear to run the works. Most of | them are anti-Rainev. They- include, be- sides Messrs. McNab and Sullivan, Sam Braunhart, Frank P. Hughes, Clitus Bar- bour, M. C. Hassett, Captain Fuzpatrick, James F. Butler, Max Popper, A. A. Wat- kins, Alexander Vogelsang, T. J. Pinder, George T. Marye, G. Howard Thompson, Dr. T. A. Rottanzi. These men would not be likely to let Rainey, Daggett and their henchmen get all they want and do as they please at a primary election and otherwise. As Daggett wants to control the San Fran- cisco delegation in the State convention, probably with some partnership arrange- ment with O. M. Welburn, and as Rainey wants a local grip, the boss element must control the officers and committees, as | well as the voters of the organization. So if the nice people who are not politicians to make Rainey remain a four-spot re will be more trouble. That Ramey controls the Junta in that quiet way of his is believed by many who are in the organization but opposed him. Some of these have repudiated the organi- zation already on this account and others threaten to. One of these is E. P. E. Troy of the Iro- quois Cluh. He was from the start active in the anti-Buckley movement and con- versant with the inside of things. Now Mr. Troy is out denouncing the Junta as a Rainey-Daggett machine, run by McNab. “T have repudiated the organization,” said Mr. Troy, “because there is not the slightest doubt that Rainey will congrol it. McNab and Sullivan deny thisand atthe meeting of the general committee last week they got up & trifiing fake contest, supported by sixty-seven votes. Then they pointed to the vote and said: ‘Fhere’s Rainey's strength.’ I know that by those on the inside. Raiaey and Dag- gettare conceded toalmost if not wholly control. Gavin McNab has admitted to me that Rainey and Daggett could not be kept outof control withoutjEd Lanigan’s help. I have here fig- ures given to me by Mr. McNab himself on the composition of the general committee. Me- Nab conceded 187 votes to Rainey and Daggett. This is sixty-three less than a majority. A change of thirty-two votes to Rainey would give it to Rainey on McNab's own showing. You know what controls people and pulls them over in such cases. It's patronage pulls; and who have these pulls? They cannot keep the control away from Rainey without mak- ing corrupt bargains with other and corrupt politicians who wield power and who are at present corrupting public officials. “The policy of the leaders, as they have told me many times, is to build up & boss system in the various districts to produce so-catled har- mony. To accomplish this they have to my knowledge taken off names of independent and uncontrollable men and put in Rainey men, for. men who would be resdy to make trades with them. Knowing thet Ckairman Sul- livan’s policy woumld give the control to Rainey, I told Mr. Suilivan two or three days before the last primary to take my name off the ticket. He disobeved my order and left my name on and had it scratched because he thought I was about to denounce them. I want to .say that the estimate of Rainey’s strength given me by Mr. McNab was lower than that made by others in the organization who were well informed.” The Buckieyites declare that Daggett —and Welburn, too—are keen to con- trol the State canvention, and hence the California delegation to the National con- yention, not only through personal ambi- tion, but to help out the administration that appointed them. Daggett, they say, will do all he can in behalf of the gold “sound-money’’ policy of Cieveland and Carlisle. He wants to take to Chicago, | reiterate my statement in B. B. Hall. they assert, a California delegation that will stand by Cleveland’s money policy. The next thing in-order with the Junta organization is the appointment by Chairman Sullivan of the arbitration committee of fifteen. Boss McNab has the committee nearly fixed up and things are being fixed up in the Korty-fourth and Thirty-fourth ready for ratification by the arbitration committee within a few days. The Junta proposes to go right ahead to the State Convention. The Buckley people are putting forth talk of compro- mise on an open primary, but there appears no chance that the Rainey side { will accept. They feel strong and the whole prize is worth playing for. The Buckley people are preparing for a rousing effort and a hot campaign and the sending of a rival delegation to the State convention. count on their friend Gould putting their delegation on the temporary rol! and their getting in their 162 votes on tke selection of a temporary chairman who will ap- point a friendly credentials committee.” The Buckley people say this is never done when there are contesting delegations, and there will be a huge row at Sacramento if this is attempted. Buckley is spending the week at Ravens- wood. Meantime the Buckleyites are ex- pressing their intense indignation at the action of tne State Central Committee last Saturday, and especially at Chairman Gould who was so unfair a partisan of Me-' Nab during the dispute. They are getting ready to do a whole lot beginning next week. There will first bea big meeting of the general committee at 0dd Fellows' Hall on Monday evening. At that meeting their best orators will de- nounce Gould, McNab, et al., and a series of hot resolutions will also express the general Buckley protest. Then there will be a series of district mass-meetings to do more denouncing and to whoop up the faction’s interests gener- ally. The action of the State Central Com- mittee is felt as a hard punch in the eye from Gavin McNab. Now they know what they have got to do, and they propose to jump into a bard and probably a long fight, with Chris Buckley, and a long list of able and experienced party-workers with them. . Congressman Maguire is counted on to stand strongly with them as being the regular organization, in spite of the move that Gavin McNab was able to make with his proxies. Maguire was asked by tele- graph day before yesterday if he still stood where he did when he left for Washington and the Congressman repied in the follow- ing telegram that he did: WASHINGTON, D. C M. J. Donovan, 1178 Ma; March 16, 1896. ket Street: Can only Motion to adjourn sine die was not put nor voted on by committee. The only remedy is a fair pri- mary under impartial auspices. 3 JAMES G. MAGUIRE. “It is generally known,” said Senator M. J. Donevan yesterday, “that at the last State convention, Gavin McNabnominated Judge Maguire for Governor, with Budd’s proxy in his pocket, and then went back and told peovle to vote for Budd. Iunder- stand that Maguire has said that he would not accept a nomination for Congress from those people, and anyway the nomination for Congress is likely to get mixed up with this trouble. As to the State convention, if we are not recognized we will undoubt- edly send to Chicago 8 contesting delega- tion from the Fourth and Fifth districts.” Maguire’s stand means a great deal in this factional fight. Itisan exceedingly strong help for the Buckley side and a loss to the other side. Maguire took his stand on the start on the ground thatin all right and fairness the side he approyed was the legal and regular organization and that the alleged adjournment sine die was a political trick to be classed with McNab’s turning out the gas. But since Daggett has secured a comtrolling interest in the other side, Maguire's affiliation with the Junta would seem an utter impossibility, so bitter is the personal enmity between the two. Daggett would hardly help back to Congress the man he swore he would run out of town. MIDWEEK THEATER NOTES “Captain Impudence” Continues Its Success at the California. Comedy and Pathos at the Grand. Rachael Walker’s Return to the Orpheum. “Captain Impudence’’ is one of the best productions that the California Theater bas seen this season, and it is meeting with the reward of merit in the shape of large houses. The excellence of the cast adds not a little to the success of Edwin Milton Royle’s sparkling lines, and the scenery and staging are all excellent. At the Baldwin Theater “A Milk-white Flag” is pursuing the cheerful tenor of its way to the accompaniment of plenty of laughter and applause. Although “A Texas Steer” is no stranger in this City, the clever performance being given at the COalifornia Theater of the popular Hoyt comedy is drawing excellent nouses. On Monday next the Henderson Ex- travaganza Company opens at the Colum- bia Theater in *‘S8inbad.” The company is said to be exceptionally strong this season. “Hoop of Gold” witl its thrilling melo- dramatic scenes, relieved by the sprightly jokes of Gilbert and Goldie, is proving a very strong attraction at the Grand. The realistic scenery is nightly applauded, particularly the view of the Thames by meonlight. The Alcazar’s continuous show is filling the house. The low prices make it pos- sible for people who have not a whole afternoon or evening at their disposal to stroll in just to witness a few ‘‘turns.’’ Some parts of the bill are very good, as for instance the horizontal bar performances of Starkey and Rathbun and the farce, “My Wife’s Husbands,” the latter being a slightly adapted version of “My Turn Next.”” Josephire Gassman,. in serio- comic selections, takes well, but for the most part the vocalists leave son:ething to be desired. The familiar strains of “Maritana” are arousing the usual demonstrations of ap- probation at the Tivoli this week, for the old ballad operas never seem to die. The t[x’exltx attraction at the Tiyoli will be “‘Said ‘asha. Large houses and plenty of applause are as usual the rule at the Orpheum. This week’s bill, which is a strong one, includes songs by the popular creole singer, Rachael Walker, who is paying a return visit here. Al and Mamie Anderson’s plantation sketch has made guite a hit, and the same may be said of the Di Filippis’ dance *“On the Boulevard.” ———————— A deer’s eyes command a wide field of vision, and'the animal can see behind as well as before, though not so distinetly, for when alarmed it will always turn so as to gain a clearer view of the object. . The Raineyites | |SIGHS UPON THE DOORS, A Sensation Is Exploded After Days of Doubt and Worry. MYSTERY OF A DOUBLE CROSS It Was Put on Houses by Canvassers in Three Cities—Secrets of the Craft. Some industrious canvassers must have been langhing very heartily in theirsleeves for the last few days over the scare about mystic marks on doors and doorsteps. First the prevalence of these sizns attract- ed attention in part of Oakland, and when the story of supposed mystery became public every careful housekeeper acrass the bay made search for the dreaded signs. Presently, as if impelled by soiae unknown species of infection, the marks were epi- demic in Alameda and Berkeley. That was bad indeed on the face of it, and consternation spread from the tincinal clear to Pinole. Ridiculous stories of boy- cotts and evil designs to be carried out through the medium of the door marks helped to inflame some of the timorous- minded pecple across the bay. It was with dread misgivings that women The Mysterious Signs on Walls and Doorposts. watched for the marks upon their doors, and frequently the discovery was accom- panied with a'scream like a cry of pain. “Tne horrid double cross! There it is!” “What of it?”’ pater familias would ask. “Well, the house is to be entered by burglars and robbed, and some of those terrible tramps are to burn it down, and we are to be boycotted or slaughtered.” Timid people on the Ban Francisco side of the bay felt so greatly moved by newspaper articles on the mys- tic. marks that a general hunt for the double cross was made about the doors and garden gates, and when strange signs were found throughout the Mission and Western Addition the word passed round. “I told you so!” That nightmare of a black leadpencil mark, the double cross, was thereon many a door, staring the aston- ished householders like an apparition of some bilions dream. After all the mystery was easily ex- plained, although for many there was some dim cause for concern over the double cross with an initial and dates, or an unmeaning scroll. The cross itself was similar to the character used to indicate number before numericals. It is the trade mark, so to speak, of an industrious set of canvassers who are going through the city for one firm, and it is placed on doors as a notification that the house has been tried. The initial denotes the eanvasser, and of- ten a date expressed in figures, such as 3- , is edded to tell the day the heuse was visited. “Tt is an old trick of the trade,” ex- plained an old canvasser yesterdsy, “and ever since I saw the double cross two or three weeks since I have been trying to find what new camvasser is in the field. There is no doubt whatever that it is done by canvassers, who may be out for a new article or a publication. It saves time, for when a man in the secret sees the mark he willleave at once. *1f people would anly look a little closer they would find on almost every door in San Francisco some ong or more of these marks.” He wrote the initial “E” with a charac- teristic curve; “O C,” the letiers united, and the C double as large as the O; also “Van®’ and “Spud’ and “Winn,” the lat- ter printed in block letters. “‘All these signs may appear mys- terious,” he continued, “if you believe that children had not scratched them on the door. Suppose ‘Spud’ was noticed at once in Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley aud San Francisco, wouldn’t there be a sensa- tion and a mystery ? “The man who writes ‘E’ represents a sewing-machine agency, and I think he writes his initial as a warning to the extras to keep off.” A canvasser for a morning paper writes his initials, “0’C,” everywhere he goes, and the other men look at these letters and remark, “O’Connor has been here, too.” . A new sign is ‘‘Van,” and from the way in which it is growing throughout the City canvassers declare that Van, whoever he may be, is certainly an mdustrious fel- low. They cannot resist the temptation of having a little fun at his expense, and add ‘““ity,” making the fellow’s sign Van- ity. Another sign is “Spud,” which is fre- quently accompanied by Murphy, so that the name is Spud Murphy, though it may regresent any one else in ereation. he name “Winn” 1n bold print is still a familiar one on the lintels of doors about town. Two years ago there was scarcely a door in the whole of San Fran- cisco without it and its characteristic ring hurriealy drawn around it. Winn was a canvasser on THE CaLL under its former management, and bore the reputation of being the most active canvasser on the streets. He worked with two comrades, who made it a rute not to canvass a house that bore his name. Other canvassers made it a ruleto add “dy’’ to his name, and in time this hustler saw his trade mark turned into “Winndy."” He died about eighteen months ago; but his name remains on thousands of doors, a little faded and weather-worn, though still a sign from which canvassers have taken their cue to make queer marks. Winn originated the idea of marking doorposts in this City. BRUTALLY BEATEN. Mamie Johnston Nearly Killed by Her Companion in the Anita House, Hunt Street. Mamie Johnston, a young woman about 25 years of age, was taken to the Receiving Hospital last night in a pitiable condition from the Anita House, 31 Hunt strest. There was a lacerated wound 1n her head, her eyes.and face were swollen and black- ened and. she secemed to be suffering in- tense pain.. Her wounds and brnises were attended to and she was sent to the City Prison, where she was booked as drunk. Sergeant Bidwell considered her condition so bad that he notified Captain Wittman and the captain laid the facts before Chief Crowley. The Chief detailed two detectives to make a thorough investigation into her case and ordered her to be sent back to the hospital. The detectives tried every possi- ble means to get her to tell how she had received her injuries, but she positively refused to say anything. Then they went to the Anita House, butdid not succeed in obtaining any clew. About 10 o’clock last night she said she had been beaten by Jack Haynes, her companion. He had beaten her on the face and head with his clenched fists till she was uneonscious, She would give no reason for the assault. The police are searching for hi. NEWSPAPER THIEVING. Judge Joachimsen Will Give His De- cision To-Day in the Case of Robert Cook, a Janitor., The stealmg of newspapers from the doors of subscribers has been so frequent of late thatit has become epidemic. The carrier leaves the paper and when the sub- scriber opens his front dooer an hour or two later it has disappeared much to his dis- gust. Complaints were so numerous from sub- scribers of TmE CALt living along Pine streetYhat a watch was set. Shortly after 5 o'clock last Friday morning Robert Cook, a janitor, living at 2318 Pine street, was seen to take a copy of THE CALL from the door of M. G. Jonas, 2011 Pine, and was promptly arrested by Policeman W. D. écon and booked at the North End sta- tion on the charge of petty larceny. The copy of THE CALL was retained as evidence against him. R ‘Cook appeared before Judge Jogchimsen a few bours later, and the case was con- tinued till Saturday,the Judge releasing Cook on his own recognizance. When the case was called on Saturday it was con- tinued till yesterday, and yesteraay the Judge intimated he would render his de- cision to-day. An ex mgle should be made of Cook, as he is we?l able to afford to pay for a paper himself. Besides, it is necessary to inflict a severe penalty, which would have the effect of putting a stop to this vexatious kind of petty larceny. T0 ANALYZE MORE WATER Complaints Against Golden Gate Park and Castro Heights Supplies. The Board of Health Will Enforce the Birth Registration - Regulations. In consequence of numerous complaints regarding the artesian water in Golden Gate Park and on Castro Heights, the Board of Health at its meeting yesterday decided to investigate the two supplies mentioned with a view to ascertaining whether or not it is fit for human con- sumption. Dr. J. C. Spencer, the City Bacteriologist, was directed to co-operate with Professor Wenzell, who was appointed City Chemist without pay,in taking samples of water from the two supplies mentioned, and to report to the board at its next regular meeting the result of their investigations. The physicians of this City not having shown an inclination to comply with the regulations of the board regarding the registration of births, the board decided to take definite action in the matter. Notices will be sent to all physicians and mid- wives within the City to report all births at which they officiate on or before the fourth day of each month, Those who fail to report within the time specified will be arrested under the law governing the registration of births and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Two weeks will be given the local medicos to come to time. Milk Inspector Docgery reported that though the milk ordinance had been in operation five weeks, very few hotel and restaurant keepers had obtained permitsin accordance therewith. He declared that he propnsed to enforce the provisions of the order strictly hereafter. Dr. urdo reported that the Board of Supervisors had neglected to buy drugs for branch jail -2, 'though ne had made many requests, and had finally sent notice that” he would not visit the institution again_until the desired drugs were pur- chased. The board will communicate with the Supervisors and try to learn why the arugs have not been bought. Cosmiamb Gold-Mining Exchange. The informal opening of the Gold-mining Exchange has met with considerable success and the scenes about the new board room were lively and enthusiastic at the regular morning session yesterday. Crowds filled the lobby and bidding was active among the brokers. A new mine, the Savannah, appeared upon the lists and prices generally advanced. Other properties are offering for enlistment, and the Inquiry among investors is strong for Cali- fornis gold mines. Fourapplicationsfor mem- Det have been received since Monday, viz . E. Rogers, J. H. Tingman, Walter.W. Gollin, J. C. Bauer. Considerable business was done yesterday after the regular board session, and brokers are reported busy preparing orders for future buying and selling. —_—— . — Sea otters are either hunted by men in boats and shot or caught in nets, when they meet their death by drowning.
