8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1896 SEEKING A NEW SIDE-DOOR LAW, One of the Aims of the California Protective Association, REASONS FOR THE STAND Desires a Distinction Made Be- tween Moral and Immoral Places. A CONFERENCE TO BE HELD. The Police Commissioners Will Be Asked to Recommend a New Ordinance. One of the earliest tasks of the California ‘State Protective Association will be to secure the passage of a new ordinance re- lating to side-door saloons. This action, among others, was deter- mined upon at the last meeting of the ociation. The present law has never been thoroughly put to the test of its validity, but it is the opinion of some of the members of the association that if it were it wonld be declared invalid. The association in its proposed action dis- avows any intention of obstructing the movement to have the known side- entrance pitfalls abolished, but is de- sirous of having a discrimination made between the resorts for immoral women and those saloons which provide a side entrance for the convenience of gentlemen who desire to hold a private interview and at the same time indulge in a social cock- tail or an innocuous gin-o-lin. With this purpose in view a conference will be held some time next week between the trustees of the &ssociation and the , Board of Police Commissioners. To the latter will be submitted the whole matter, and they will be asked to recommend to the Supervisors the desired measures. The conference had been set for last Tues- day, but the death of the father of Com- missioner Gunst caused it to be postponed. George W. Baker, the attorney for the asscciation, speaking of the matter yester- said: When the association was organized in 1894 the side-door ordinance had already been enacted, and something like 150 arrests had been made for violations of it. This association is not organized for the purpose of opposing reasonable ordinances nor to counsel members to viclate any ordinance, whether legal or illegal, until the same has been taken up by the a: ciation and testea in the courts. A ordinance, however, which the board of directors of the .association believes un- reasonable will be taken up and tested in the courts, before municipal bodies, or the Legislature, but in_every case it will insist on its members being law-abiding and not undertaking to set at defiance the con- stituted authorities. “We have never paid any attention to this side-door ordinance because we were not called upon by any of our members to investigate it, as the arrests were made before our organization was effected. “If it should happen that any consider- able number of ou rested under the pro the maintenance of become the duty of this association and myseli, as its attorney, to take up the con- sideration of the ordinance so far asits legal status is concerned. If upon that investigation I found the ordinance was unreasonable it would then be the duty of the association to test itsvalidity, carry- ing it to the highest courtif necessary, and without expense to the particular members prosecuted. ““If on the other hand it should be deter- mined that the ordinance was legal we would advise our members to conform toit.” *‘What do you mean when you speak of the ordinance being legal?”’ was asked. “By speaking of the ordinance as being legal I mean that the right to pass itisone that properly and legally falls within the police powers of the Supervisors, and that they have not transcended their powers by its enactment. "Lhe present status of this ordinance is pecuiiar and uncertain. One of the cases ior a violation of it was placed in the hands of Cross, Hall, Ford & Kelly, a law firm of standing in this City. It was the opinion of Mr. Cross, who had charge of the case, that the ordinance was invalid and that it could be successfully resisted. The case was tried in the first place in one of the Eolice courts—I believe in that of Judge ow—and the defendant was convicted. The case was appealed to the Superior Court, and upon the motion for the allow- ance of the appeal Mr. Hall argued the case very elaborately before Judge Bahrs, with the result that a new trial was ordered in the Superior Court. “‘That was considered at the time by all of the sidedoor people as a victory in their favor and as virtually declaring the ordi- nance in question invalid. This decision brought down on Judge Bahrs the censure of the reformers and the press as main- taining the validity of the side doors against what the Civic Federation and others considered a valid exercise of the police powers. After the appeal was al- lowed the case was continued for several months, and was finally sent to Judge ‘Wallace’s court from Judge Bahrs’ depart- ment. But when the case came up for trial and Judge Wallace learned that it had been transferred to his court from Judge Bahrs’ department he declined to try 1t, and immediately returned it to his diffident colleague, as he did not consider that it-had come legitimately before him. “When the case came up before Judge Bahrs the defendant, rather than go to the expense of employing counsel, pleaded g\.xildzy and was fined $20 without being tried. “‘So it leaves the question of the validity of the side-door ordinance stiil an open one in all the courts. Most of the other defendants have pleaded guilty in the Police Court and paid fines of $10, and the remaining defendants will probably do the same thing. s i “In cases where it is known that side doors are maintained for immoral pur- poses—that is, where young girls can be taken and plied with drinks till made helpless—this association will not only not defend the person arrested, but would assist the authorities in the prosecution of the offender. ““The trouble with the present ordinance is that it does not distinguish between what I would call the Jegitimate side-door saloon, where one can go with a friend for a social time or with a gentleman to hold a private business interview, and those places which are dangerous pitfalis for young and innocent girls. All are placed under the same ban by this ordinance, and it is this objection that we would like to see remedied.” a; SEEING INDIAN SCHOOLS.

Washington and others of the Northwestern States, where he has been | estate by the City Assessor. ] looking into the education of the Indians. He visited the different reservations, spending considerable time at ail of them. The Indians everywhere, he says, are getting along surprisingly well. He says the children in some ways are brighter even than white children.” They show su- periority, especially with the use of tools and in the execution of all kinds of me- chanical work. He thinksthe geniusof the red man is shown even in the superiority of the mud pies which he makes in child- hood. The best Indian school of all that he visited was the non-reservation school near | Salem. There the Indian boys and girls were progressing with great rapidity. However, throughout the country, the Indian schools are prospering and Mr. Heinemann expects that in a few years many Indians will be numbered among the most useful citizens of the country. Mr. Heinemann will visit the Napa and Round Valley Indians and note their progress in education in a few days. EFFORTS APPRECIATED. Thanks Returned to the Trafic Associa- tion by the Humboldt Chamber of Commerce. That the efforts of the Traffic Association in securing terminal rates for Eureka on shingles to points on the Missouri and East are appreciated is shown by the re- ceipt of the tollowing letter by that body from’ the Humboldt Chamber of Com- merce: At a regular meeting of the Humbold¢ Cham- ber of Commerce, held March 16, 1896, it was unanimously ordered ““that an official letter of congratulation over the result of their obtain- 1ng terminal rates on shingles from Eureka East be sent to the California Traffic Associa- tion, the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade; also thanking them for the good work in our behalf.” In accordance with this direction we hereby congratulate you oh the results already ob- tained, in the reduction of frel%hl rates to cer- tain_Esstern points on shingles, and thank you for your share in obtaining for us this con- Ccession.. We venture to hope that you will not relax your efforts in our behalf until all our lumber products are included in the conces- sion aswell as shingles, and at rates definite and fixed. In other words, that you will con- tinue to assist us until we secure terminal | rates on all of our shipments to ail Eastern | poluts via San Francisco, something for which | we have beex striving for & number of years, | but until now with little encouragement or hope of ruccess. THE CWIC FEDERATION, Discrimination in the Assessed Valuation of - Railroad Property Shown. Church Property and City Railroad Taxes Compared by the Ex- pert’s Report. The Civic Federation, though apparently not making much noise, is actively en- gaged in trying to correct some of the many abuses that have existed in the management of public affairs of this City. At a meeting held on Tuesday a lengthy report was received from Colonel R, Lam- bert on the assessed valuation of real Among other things Colonel Lambert reported that the only discriminations be found on the As- sessor’s books were in favor of the Southern Pacific Company. This was on the block upon which the Southern Pacific buildings are located. The railroad company owned thirty-six | blocks of- land, comprising eighty-nine acres of streets, alleys and squares. One block of this property was assessed at $188,300, while an adjoining block was assessed at $186,000 and still a third block for $188,620. The railroad company’s property formed what might be termed an impregnable barrier to the water front and its valuation might be considered worth $3,500,000, yet its assessed valuation, as appears from the Assessor’s books, shows it to be worth §682,532, and on this valuation taxes are aid amounting to $15,356. This Colonel Ymmbern considers a political blur on the official map of San Francisco. The property-holding of the Spring Val- ley Water Company and the Hibernia Bank were considered to be far too low and wholly inadequate to the rent revenue derived from the same. The $2 25-tax levy of last year was char- acterized as being nothing short of a “rob,” which shonld be taken notice of by property-owners when called upon to cast their ballot in favor of the proposed new charter. An alarming discrimination in the as- sessed valuation of the properties owned by the Pacific' Mail Company and the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company was pointed out by producing the following Iigures: The Mail Company’s property is fully worth $10,000,000, upon which $417 72is paid yearly in taxes, while on the Oceanic line, which does not do one- half the business, the tax paid is $11,883 38. Huntington’s network of street railroads contributes the small sum of $25,780,while the church properties pay $56,154, segre- gatea thus: The Roman Catholic Church owns thirty-five pieces upon which $1,301,- 334 is the fixed valuation, and the several Protestant churches own eighty-four pieces valued at $1,194,410. The federation is of the opinion that the office of the Tax Collector could be abol- ished and its work consolidated with that of the Assessor’s office. A committee was appointed to invite Professor David Starr Jordan to address the federation at the next meeting upon “Municipal Government.” NOW A MATTER OF HOURS. Closing Day of the Notable Encyclo- peedic Dictionary Distribution. Some time during the day the last name will have been added to the list of those who will receive one of the 500 introduc- tory sets of the New Encyclopadic Dic- tionary, which the Pacific Coast Newspa- per Syndicate. has been distributing at an introductory price, in order to place the work in cultured homes and communities for the fayorable publicity to be secured by a comparison with other dictionaries and encyclopedias. It has only been necessary to send $1 to the Syndicate headquarters, 36 Montgom- ery street, and the full set of four volumes, numbering over 5000 pages, was delivered as fast as facilities would permit. 1t is also provided in the announcement of The Syndicate that the volumes may be sent. back and money will be refunded, provided the work is not-entirely as repre- sented. And in order that every one, whether living in or out of the City,.may have an equafchance it has been decided to fill all personal applications which may be regis- tered at Syndicate headquarters up to 10 o'clock to-night, and also to enter, as above hinted, alt orders by mail or telegraph which are postmarked or cated any time before that hour. To-night at 10 o’clock, therefore, will be the last moment for any one, in City or country, to secure a set of the work on the introductory terms, for hereafter the regu- lar subscription price of §42 per set will prevail, and the volumes are good value even at this apparently high figure. Remember, then, that if to-day you bring or send §1 to the Pacific Coast News- paper Syndicate the entire set of four superb volurues will be delivered to you, and you have the use of them during the yenr‘;mle paying for them at $125 per month, Judge McKenn: lne Owing to the continued indisposition of Judge McKenna the case of tne Southern Pa- cific Company against the State Board of Rail- road Commissioners will not go on in the United States Circnit Court before next week. e ——————— For sore or weak eyes use Mitchell’s Magic | cuss questions bearing upon the welfare of Californian industries, and the talk was| Lotion.

New Directors Are Elected and Dues Raised to $10 a Year—Informal Talk. The first annual meeting of the Manu- facturers’ and Producers’ Association was held yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. There wasa large attendance, and among those present were several representative members of the manufacturing community. Henry T. Scott, president of the association, oc- cupied the chair. In calling the meeting to order Mr. Scott said that after a year the association was gathered together to review the work ac- confined to instances of merchants and others importing goods. The understand- ing was that no action could be taken, as all business should be referred to the new directors. a McMenomy, the wholesale butcher, did not see things that way. ‘It seems to me,"” he said, “every one is speaking for his own itérests, Then I'd like to know if this association would not protect the meat industry of California.” % “That’s a matter for the board of direct- ors,” the chair remarked. +Well, I represent a body of men who have millions at stake and are deeply in- terested in this thing. I see everxbod{ airing nis own grievances, and I think I should have an equal right to air mine. “No, sir,” said the chair. £ ‘It seems to me that it is all about iron business here,’”” persisted McMenomy. “The iron industry isa very important one,” the chair answered. $ “Well, I can tell you that there is much more money invested in the meat business in California than in the iron trade.” There was something moreabout having to eat California meat and giving it awa; and more about eating machines and gi ng them away, when the meeting ad- journed. The directors met and elected the follow- ing officers: President, Horace Davis; first vice-president, W. J. Keller; second vice-president, W. T. Bowers; third vice- president, H. J. Crocker; treasurer, A. Sbarboro; secre;rybl . }ll Mead; nssiguat e; manager, S. H. ing secretary, Fred H. Tacy. Mannix Reduced in Rank. J. E. Mannix is no longer superintendent of Horace Davis, Who Was Elected President of the Merchants’ and Producers’ Association Yesterday. complished, and to devise plans for the future. The work of the members spoke for itself. By virtue of the provisions of the constitution he named the following fifteen members as a nominating commit- tee to select directors for the year to come: George E. Dow, C.R. Allen, C. E. War- den, N. A. Judd, George Gray, ‘L. G. Schweitzer, R. Liddle, A, Haraszthy, W. McNicoll, J. Strahl, A. E. Chodski, J. Bru- nell, J. E. Partridge, E. C. Williams and K. Valentine. M. M. Barnett wanted the rules re- scinded, and a second set of officers named... “There is danger that if this is not done,” he said, ‘‘some people may think there has been something in the na- ture of a star chamber pro¢eeding.”” * The chair promptly renlied that the re- mark was out of order, because any man on the floor was privileged to make such indevendent nominations as he pleased. Secretary L. R. Mead read hisannual report, which was published in -Tue CALL last January when the report was issued. A letter was read from the Chamber of Commerce inviting members of the asso- ciation to attend a special meeting of the chamber Thursday, March 26, at 2:30 p. M., to consider the question of ‘‘international arbitration.” A. Sbarboro, treasurer of the associa- tion, reported that the receipts for the year were $8249 12; disbursements, $8009 45; balance on hand, $239 67. A vote of thanks was tendered the board of directors and the secrefary and treas- urer. Julian Sonntag said that he had come to the conclusion during the past year that the dues of $6 were not enough to assure the association’s welfare. He believed that the dues should be $10 a year, for that income would place sufficient money in the reasury to insure an efficient working orce. f Barnett amended to make the dues $1 a month, but this was defeated and Sonn- tag’s motion carried almost unanimously. arnett moved that after the nominat- ing committee made its report the polls be Kkept open two hours to give all members a chance to vote. The motion was carried. The committee presented the following names: Horace Davis, H. J. Crocker, J. W. Kerr, A. Dernham, W. F. Bowers, J. P. Currier, A. Sbarboro, M. J. Keller, M. Mc- Glynn, A. McLaughlin, L. R. Mead. Barnett was insistent, holding that there should be opronunity for the association to make a selection of officers, and, there- fore,. he wished to place in nemination four good men. The meeting favored him so far, but when the names of I. M. Scott and Louis Saroni were mentioned there were instant declinations, whereupon Barhnett withdrew his plan and asked that his original motion keeping the polls open for two hours be rescinded. The associa- tion was obliging and directed the secre- tary to cast the bailot for the nominees. This pro-forma proceeding finished, the chair declared the nominees elected a board of directors for the ensuing year. Sonntag brought up the matter of the proposed exhibition of local products, which he remarked was the most im- portant question before the association, Manager Tacy made a statement that the directors of the Mechanics’ Institute had refused to rent the Pavilion for the purpose of a manufacturers’ exhibition of California products. The association looked arourd for another suitable build- ing, but found none toanswer the p se. A loton Twelfth street had been offered for a site, but it would cost $60,000 to build a mere shed for an exhibition building, and that killed the projeéct. On motion of Mr. Sonnteg the maiter was referred to the board of directors. Oscar Lewis explained on_benalf of the Mechanics’ Institute that that institution was in hearty sympathy with the manu- facturers and producers, but it was gov- erned by circumstances. Without tha annual Mechanics’ Fair the institution could not live, and therefore the directors were compelled to take a stand . in favor of their yearly fair asa matter of seli-pre- servation. 5 _Mr. Lewis, while on his feet, took occa- sion to say that a man who had made all his money in California mines recently signed a large contract for Belgian iron beams. The inference was the beams should have been bought from local manu- facturers, Sonntag moved that the board of direct- ors meet immediately after the meeting adjourned and thereupon elect officers. ‘Te motion was carried. 4§ An informal discussion of conditions of manufacturing industries in California was “indulged” in by ous members. Mr. Zan proposed that the association adopt a trade mark so that the products of its members could be known and recog- nized by purchasers. Hisidea wasreferred to the directors, Members were given full liberty to dis- station J. He was vesterdsy reduced to & clerkship in the mailing department, and M. Josephi was made superintendent in his stead. D. F. Supple was transferred from sta- tion J {0 s Mannix was reduced in ion D. rank because of his inability to expiain his absence from his post for several days to the entire satisfaction of Postmaster McCoppin. THE BUILDERS' ELECTION Inthe Choice of Ditectors Yes- terday the Carpenters Were Defeated. A Change Will Probably Take Place in the Old Building Contract System. Yesterday a new board of eleven direc- tors was elected in the Builders’ Exchange in which the old dominating craft, the carpenters, were defeated. Four out of their eight candidates lost, and of the rest of the board three‘are bricklayers, one a foundryman, one a plasterer and one a painter. The foundryman is President Lewis. The following is the result of the 312 votes cast: Name, Occupation. oundryman. ‘Thomas Elam . J. J. Morehouse. Robert Smilie. John Notter. The last five were defeated. As predicted it was a fierce fight, but the carpenters were beaten from the first. The old contract system was the issue, and the result of the election is a blow struck at the old practice. In the past the carpen- ter contractor would get the contract as a whole, and after fixing up figures for the subcontractors, would let the jobs out to the&zq:nuru. plumbers, masons, etc. This peddling of the subcontracts was not always good for the owner of the building, especially when the original contractor figured closely and sublet to cheap people. "I tell you,” said a member of the ex- [chnnge vesterday, ‘‘some of the building jobs in this City under that system have been turned out disgracefully. The whole thing is rotten and needs doctoring. I could stand here all afternoon and tell you of the many ways the owner is cinched. “In the hr!tp{nce, the architect, anxious to have his pians accepted, puts the cost of the proposed building too low. They always do it, and during my life of twens ty-five years as a builder and contractor I have never found an exception. Then the carpenter contractor gets those plans and ;:ta;lunce sees that the figures are too ow. goes ahead and suhlets on the DhBI‘PCIt terms and the house goes up, but how ““Then there is another wrong to be righted, and that is in the matter of pay- ments. Certain trades, especially the men who supply the material, must get their money last. I know people here who have been waiting for their money for years. . ‘I could point you out fine larze build- ings, a credit to the City, that have not been paid for and never will. On some pretext or other there may be a lawsuit banging in the Supreme Court, that tomb of 50 many cases, and the thing goes on unsettled. “Howevyer, the method is changing, as the election to-day shows, and tne car- penter contractor must step back for the mason and ironworker. The letting of contracts will go along on other and better lines, we will see how that will work.” The Builders’ £xchange is in a good con- dition, with $2300 in the treasury and a membership of 372. — e e—————— ‘Wonders of California.

REDUCED FARES ADVOCATED. Superintendent Babcock’s Scheme for a Two-Cent Streetcar Rate Favored. The Board of Education declared itself in favor of a high school for the Mission district last evening, and as soon as the necessary funds are available the institu- tion will be established. A resolution was adopted declaring it to be the sense of the board that the Mission district was in need of the high school, and that it should be established at the earliest possible oppor- tunity. Director Clinton then introduced a resolution providing that a temporary high school be established beginning with the next school year. After some dis- cussion the matter was referred to a som- mittee of the whole. Superintendent Bab- cock’s old plan of providing cheap fares on the street railway while going to and from school was brought up again. Director Henderson introduced a resolu- tion providing for the appointment of a special committee for the purpose of waiting upon the officers of the City rail- road companies to ask on behalf of the board that they make a special rate of 2 cents on the streetcars to school children on their way to and from school. The measure was adopted unanimously. This is a reform which has been agitated by the department and the parents of many scholars for years past, and the matter will be pressed now until the reduction is granted or the companies definitely refuse to sanction it. The complaint of John Blake, charging Miss Soule, a teacher in the Potrero Primary School, with having abused his daughter, was referred to the Committee on fiu]es for investigation. A resolution of thanks io Professor George A. Merrill, principal of the Cali- fornia School of Mechanical Arts, and also to Professor Walter N. Bush, principal of the Polytechnic High School, for their kindness in delivering lectures before the pupils and teachers of the public schools was passed unanimeusly. The following recommendations of the Committee on Classification were adopted : That the Dudley C. Stone Primary School be opened on August 3; that Miss Lillian T. O'Neil and Miss Marion E. Earle be as- signed to the Dudley C. Stone Primary As he wants to make all he can he | School, and that Miss Mary R. Carew be appointed a probationary teacher and as- signed to the same school. WIDEN FOLSOM STREET. Important Meeting Held by the South Side Improvement Clubs. The South Side improvement elubs held a joint meeting last night at the hall on the corner of Folsom and Eighth streets to take steps toward reducing the width of the sidewalks between Ninth and Tbird streets; also concerted action toward overlooking all gas, sewer and. water con- nections previous to bituminizing Folsom street. The question of having the Wilmerding school of mechanical arts located in the Mission was advocated in strong terms by Dr. T. A. Rottanzi, president of the club. A. B. Maguire explained that from Ninth street to Army or Twenty-sixth the sidewalks on Folsom street were fifteen feet wide. From Ninth street {o the wharf they were nineteen and a half feet. The present proposition was to decrease the width of the walks, from Ninth street to Third, four feet six inches, thus making the street proper nine inches wider. Captain George A. Rea said: “The only way to improve our part of town is to improve our streets. Then rents will come up and we will be benefited in many ways. Let usmake Folsom street suitable for business as well as beautiful.” Epes Ellery concurred with the previous speakers, It was resolved that the mames of all property-owners favoring the proposition be taken,and one member owning prop- erty from each block. between Third and Ninth_was chosen to act as chairmen of committees to agitate the matter in the several blocks. . .—— Bailey’s Perjury Case.
