WILL BE MADE ‘ | My Wite's Husbands,” N THIS CITY, | Contract Let for Steel Work of the New “Call” Building. TWO0 THOUSAND TONS. | Claus Spreckels Prefers to Pat- i ronize the Home Manu- factories. THE PACIFIC ROLLING - MILLS. | 1 | Scores of Men Will Be Kept Busy for Months Turning Out the Great Girders. b A contract for over 2000 tons of steel | beams and girders was let yesterday to | the Pacific Rolling-mills. This isby far the | largest contract for steel work ever letin this City or on this coast. _ It will be used in the superstructure of | the largest steel building on the coast, and | one of the largest steel-framed buildings in the world—the new CaLL building. The closing of this contract means a good deal to San Francisco, particularly tothe iron and steel -workmen. In exact figures the contract calls for 2200 tons of steel. The manufacturing of this quantity of steel will keep the rolling-mills running full force for the rest.of the yearitisex- pected. In the letting of this contract Claus | Spreckels has only followed out the char- | acteristic policy adopted by him in the | construction of all his other buildings— that of patronizing home industry wher- ever possible. In order to carry out this | | 3 z | policy Mr. Spreckels instructed Reid | Brothers, the architects of Tme CALL'S | | magnificent new home, to design the | | shapes of the steel beams and girders | needed in such a way as to meet the re- quirements of the home mills and permit | the wosk to be done in this City. In the | buildings previously erected by Claus | Spreckels this was, comparatively speak- ing, not such a difficult thingtodo. In| the case of this gigantic nineteen-storied | stractule with its knotty problems in en- | gineering, wind resistence, weight distri- bution and the still more complex archi- tectural problems that may scarcely be stated in non-technical terms, it was no easy task to design the shapes instead of permitting the ordinary shapes to guide the construction. But the task has been accomplished, and if builders and architects were inclined to pay more attention to the limitations and peculiarities of the local factories a great deal of material heretofore supposed to be only practicable when produced abroad | can be purchased in this City, thus giviog work to a great many more men. | | The accompanying illustration is an out- line of steel work in the plan and eleva- tion as taken from the architect’s draw- ings. There is a bewildering maze of steel beams and girders here, yet the problem presented in this great network of heavy metal was by no means as great a task as that presented by the necessity of securing | for this nineteen stories of steel and stone a sure and solid foundation. There was a deal of preparatory work necessary for a building of this magnitude, | and most of this preparatory work is now completed. First of all, at a distance of twenty-five feet below the level of the street a platform of concrete two feet thick was spread over the entire surface to be occupied by the building and project- ing nine feet beyond this area at all four sides. This projection was necessary in order to prevent the great weight of the superstructure from bearing with undue | pressure on the sand beneath the founda- | tion. On this flat and perfectly level surface of concrete were laid courses of fifteen-inch | | steel beams, spaced at an average of seven- teen inches apart. This space between the | beams was carefully filled in with con- | crete. On top of this surface of concrete and beams, at right angles to the beams, the work of laying still another row of | fifteen-inch beams is now progressing. ‘When these beams have been placed and | the abutting pieces firmly riveted so that | each makes a continuous girder from one | side of the foundation to the other, the | spaces between them will also be filled | with concrete. | Again, at right angles with these beams and directly under the center of each of the eighteen columns will be placed the bases. These bases will be formed of 20-inch steel beams, firmly riveted together, and the spaces between them filled with concrete. On these solid foundations will be placed the true columns, the bases of which will be made of cast iron of 3000 vounds weight each. Upon these column bases will rest the great columns them- selves, each of which will support a burden of 600 tons. All this preparatory work has been so carefully planned that, with the help of the projecting nine feet of foundation, the great load which each column will be re- uired to support will be carried gradually ownward in such a manner that no single | square foot of the underlying sand will be loaded to a greater extent than the weight of two and a quarter tons. In less than a month all this preparation | work will be completed and the building | of the superstructure will commence. 1t will require about two weeks to erect the framework of the first or main story, and after that the great towering structure will proceed nk‘f’\\'ard at the rate of one story a week, and the entire superstructure wiil be finished by the middle of October.

LISTENED, THEN VOTED. Citizens With Appeals and Pro- tests Snubbed With Kind Consideration. THERE WILL BE NO PRIMARIES. Committee Rule of All the Counties Indorsed—A Club Idea Given Birth, Uncle Eli Denison was handed a victory yesterday with the compliments of the Repubiican Congressional Committee of the Third District. The committee met and indorsed the action taken by the members from Ala- meda County when they decided tne other day that delegates to the State Con- vention should be appointed by them- selves. The Congressional Committee thus finally turned Alameda County over to the six gentlemen who represent that county in the State Central Committee and in the Third Congressional Com- mittee. A committee of Oakland protestants, headed by P.M. Fisher, came and pre- sented the mass-meeting resolutiors of Thursday night in favor of Republican liberty and primaries with considerable of the fervor amid which they were born. The members of the delegation of citizens were listened to with attention and re- spect. Their arguments were not an- swered and no speeches were made against primary elections. The committeemen who were there to support the appoint- ment plan *“’jes lay low and said nuftin’,” except for a few questions and suggestions uttered by Chairman Taylor and George P. Morrow. When the protestants had no more to say in insistence of ‘‘giving the people a show,” there was a viva voce vote which brought three ayes and one no from the eleven members present. The appointment plan was thus approved. The meeting was called to orderat 2 P. M. in the room of Guy C. Earl, in the law office of Boalt & Wheeler, in the Ho- bart building, on Market street. Eli Den- ison sat down between Messrs. Long and Morrow to see if he didn’t know just how things were going. P. M. Fisher, chairman of the big tab- ernacle mass-meeting of Thursday night; W. A. Dow, Councilman from the Seventh Ward and president of the Seventh Ward Republican Club; J. T. Bell. editor of the Enquirer; Varney W. Gaskill and two or three others were on hand from Oakland, and Alexander Mackay was there repre- senting the kickers of the town of Ala- meda. ~ W. R. Davis was absent. Of the members of the committee from Alameda County four were present: Chair- man E. K. Taylor, C. L. Long, W. W. Morrison and George P, Morrow. Guy C. Rarl was in Los Angeles and Morrow held his proxy. C.L.Ingler was absent and unrepresented. Secretary W 8. Wells of Contra Costa was there. 8. K. Thornton of Oakland bore the proxy of A. Hockeimer of Glenn and H. A. Powell represented E. W. Jones of Colusa. J. L. Read of Lake was absent and J. L. Martin of Solano and W.R. Pond of Yolo respended to the rolleall. At the last meeting of the Congressional committee the matter of the manner of selecting delegates to the State Convention was referred to the members representing the various counties, they to decide, sub- ject to the approval of the entire com- mittee. On motion of Long of Yolo the com- mittee proceeded to hear these county | reports. Secretary Wells read a- written report | from the Alameda delegation reciting the | adoption on Saturday, March 14, of the fol- lowing resolution: Resolved, That it is the sense of this commit« tee that the delegates to the State Convention for the purpose of selecting delegates to tho National Convention be appointed, and that the appointments be made by and the respons sibility rest upon the commitieeman from each Assembly district, and each appointment must be ratified by this committee. A motion by 8. K. Thornton, seconded by Long, that the report be ratified; brought the. matter squarely befors the committee. George P. Morrow said that several gentlemen from Alameda County | wanted to address the committee, and & | general invitation was extended to such people. W. A. Dow began the protest, which was heard with bland consideration, while Un- cle Eli rubbed his nose with perfect selfe possession. “Since it has been stated that there is to be no primary election in Alameda County,” said Dow, beginning his brief and temperate address, ‘‘there has been much dissatisfaction. What was onoe, erhaps, a custom, is now considered a po- itical right.” He told of the Thursday-night mass- meeting, read the resolutions adopted there and stated that there had been sev- eral ward meetings expressive of the same sentiment. J.T. Bell said that the proposition he was helping oppose was contrary to the traditions of the party. The party was entering on an era of prosperity and power and there was no greater question before the people than the privilege of saying who should be their President. P. M. Fisher spoke strongly and at some length. «]t has been asserted,” he began, “that one or two people have got up all this trouble in Oakland. While [ called that mass-meeting I acted only in harmon with public sentiment. That was a digni- fied and temperate meeting, and its whole temper and tenor hammered away at the one proposiiion, ‘Give the peoplea chance.’ I wish to urge this committee to disregard pressure in individualsand go closer to the eople. Let the rank and file of this intel- igent party vote.” A question by Chairman Taylor started a ventilation of the possibility of the Con- gressional conventions deciding to nomi- Outline Drawing of the Steel Superstructure of the Great Nineteen-Story Building Now Being Erected by Claus Spreckels at the Southwest.

Morrison asked Fisher to read the sec- tion of the call issued by the State Central Committee which was said to contain this ssibility. ‘L'he section was read as fol- ows: It is further directed that the delegates chosen to the Congressional conventions shall meet in State convention at the city of Sacra- mento on Tuesday, the 5th day of May, 1896, at 2 Poa., to seldct four delogates at farge 16 the National Repubiican Convention and four alternate delegates to act in case the delegates selected be absent, and for the transaction of such other and further business as may be brought before said State Convention. 4 f “It has seemed to me that the mass- meeting was called under a mifapprehen- sion of what the convention may do,” said Taylor. Fisher said that it was a member of the Congressional committee who had first pointed out to him that possibility. Thornton couldn’t see how any intelli- gent person could draw such an inference from the call. Morrow here flashed up a practically new idea by askiug Fisher if a better ex- ression of the will of the people could not e secured from the Republican clubs than at an open primary. There developed the intimation that the committeemen might consult the clubsin making appointments. Mackay of Alameda rose to say that the main question was not, ‘“Wili the conven- tion nominate Congressmen?’ but the right of electors to choose delegates who nominate their officers. It had been said that this convention was to “‘only” choose delegates to nominate a President. He urged the committee to ‘‘get its second wind” and provide for primaries. Matthews of the Army and Navy Leagne of Oakland reported the meeting and pro- testing resolutions of that organization, and he made an appeal for primaries. 8. K. Thornton of Oakland, represent- ing Glenn County, said that he was an old Republican who never kicked over the traces; that he thought the selection of delegates should be left with the commit- tee, and that a better representation counld be secured from Republican clubs than from a primary. The idea that the con- ventions could nominate Congressmen under the call was preposterous, he said, Wells.of Contra Costa said that he would favor anything the Alameda County dele- gation adopted. Nearly all the country members seemed to want to keep out of the Alameda fight. Powell, representing Jones of Colusa, read a letter from Jones favoring prim- aries in all the counties. Pond of Yolo said that he didmot pro- Suse to take any hand in Alameda Jounty’s fight, and he believed that mat- ters should be left to the committeemen from the various counties. The talking was over, and Chairman Taylor called the ayes and noes on the motion to ratify the report from Alameda County. Three weak ayes were heard— two from somewhere in the neighborhood of Eli Denison, and Powell alone voted no. The motion was declared carried. Then the reports from other counnties Were approved in short order, without debate. Wells reported that in Contra Costa tbere would be a primary run by the County Committee. Hockeimer reported that the committee- man from Glenn would appoint. Lake being unrepresented was left to the committeeman (Read) with power to act. In Solano the selection of delegates is left to the County Committee. Pond of Yolo reported ‘‘the our county will hold a primary.” [. from the Oakland citizens.] Powell said he had no definite report from Jones of Colusa and things were lert to Jones of Colusa with power to act. The matter of drafting a call came up and was left with the committeeappointed for that purpose at the previous meeting. There was inquiry about the number of delegates, but nothing definite resulted. At the previous meeting it had been or- dered that delegates should be selected by primary or otherwise on April 25. On mo- tion of Wells this order was amended by providing that counties should select dele- gates when they pleased, returns to reach the Cougressional committee by April 25. The committee adjourned to meet at the call of the chair. “I do not like to express an opinion off- hand and so soon,” said P. M. Fisher a few moments after adjournment, ‘‘but there is no question that profound dissatis- faction will result from' the action taken bere to-day. It has been suggested here that the committeemen would probably Xeopls of pplause -leave the choice to the Republican clubs. That would be a compromise that would mollify somewhat the objectors, though they insist on the principle of the absolute right of the voters to select the delegates. But in some wards there are no clubs, If in these two or three clubs are organized which is to be recognized? You see the chance for more confusion.” —_—— KICKERS TO COUNSEL. Republicans Who Demand Pri- maries WIll Declde What to Do This Week. OAKLAND, Car., March 21.—When the decision of the Third District Congres- sional Committee was made known some surprise was expressed, as it was confi- dently expected that the committee would ignore the recommendation of the Ala- meda County delegation and order primaries. There will be a council of those who favor primaries held next week, to decide on what course shall be taken. There are still many ward club leaders who demand primaries, and declare that they will hold them and carry the fight for the seating of delegates to the Sacramento convention, There are many, bowever, who are in- clined to the opinion that the different Republican clubs will submit their choice for delegates to the respective committee- men, and that the matter will thus be adjusted. “I think the fignt has been carried to a NEW TO-DAY. s THE OWL DRUC CO., CUT-RATE 1128 MAREKEERET ST, BAKER’S EAR ouU A POSITIVE GH CURE.

We have fought for the principle involved and have gone on record, and T think the committeemen and the would- be bosses sutliciently undersiand that they can no longer do as they please. It has been the strongest lesson yet taught the Republican manipulators of this county and it will never be forgotten.

For the Past Six Weeks His Conduct Has Made Them Imagine He Was the Strangler. For the past six weeks complaints have been made to the police by women on Berry street that 2 man representing him- self as a police officer had been terrorizing them. The man would stare through the win- dow at the woman, and if she was pretty he would open the door and walkin. To her astonishment he would brusquely say, s he threw back his coat and displayed a star: ‘“‘You see, I'm a police officer. I've been watching you for a long time. I want you to come with me to the police siation,” He would stand beside the terrified woman while she put on her street cos- tume, After she was ready to leave he would say: ‘“Well, I won’t arrest you this time, but will give you another chance,” and coolly walk out. He did not oSmr them any violence nor demand any money, but his peculiar con- duct kept the women in & state of terror, as they had the strangler constantly in thelr minds and they did not know but that he might be masquerading as a police officer. The sergeants in the district were in- structed to notify their men to keep a sharp lookout for the man. Last nfht while Policeman Sylvester was patrollin, Berry street a woman, who had been fol- lewing & man, pointed him out to Bylves- tet as the peculiar visitor. He bad just left another woman. Bylvester placed the man under arrest and - took Aim to the Californis.street station, where he was recognized as Police- man Willlam Gilheaney. The sergeant in charge ordered Sylves- ter to take him to polece headquarters and Captain Lees, who is acting as Chief in the absence of Ohief Crowley, who is in Ban Jose, ordered Gilheaney to give up his star and suspended him.” He will ap- wnr before the Police Commissioners on ednesaay night. Several of the women on Berry street will be called as witnesses. Gilheaney was appointed on the force on November 25, 1&9& After dolng special duty for @ short time he was assigned to the beat on Oak street. He soon distin- guished himself by arresting a man as a tommon drunk, although he had never seen him drunk, and by arresting two boys for aisturbing the peace who were playing & game of "'tag” on the street. ———— The or Fund.
