THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1896. OUTWITTED BY G Py HUNTINGTON. California Congressmen Are Startled by a Strange Report. SANTA MONICA EARBOR. Money for Its Improvement Said to Be Appropriated in the House Bill, S0ME VERY FINE WORK DONE. Agents of the Railroad Influence Statesmen to Some Unpopular Legislation. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 25.—The | California members of Congress, especially | those from Bouthern California, Bowers and McLachlan, were startled this morn- | ing by a report that the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors had included in | the river and harbor bill (which will be | presented to the House on Tuesday) an | appropriation for improving the harbor at Santa Monica, where the Southern Pacific wharves are. | The river and harbor bill is not com- | pleted, and as the members of the com- | mittee are pledged to absolute secrecy, it | cannot be learned certainly what amount has been provided for Santa Monica. But | that any amount is appropriated at all is what surprises the Californians. No dele- gation nor any individual has been before | that committee to urge any appropriation | for Santa Monica, but it is shrewdly sur- mised that C. P. Huntington and his agents have been getting in their fine | work. | Over a month ago there appeared before | the River and Harbor Committee a acle- | gation from the California River Conven- | tion to urge improvements for various | waterways of the State, and San Pedro es- | pecially. It was pointed out by several of | the speakers that asbetween San Pedroand | Santa Monica California people were almost unanimous for the former, and that sev- eral boards of Government engineers had reported against Santa Monica and in favor of Pedro. Senator White stated v plainly to the committee and al- ugh Huntington was present he had nothing to say in reply The California members arein a predica- ment. They know thatif they don’t op- pose an appropriation for Santa Monica, | they will displease their constituents, but | ful that if they do fight the Santa hope to secure for the inner harbor at n Pedro. It is customary in | the River and Harbor Committee when a Btate cannot agree on what it wants to settle the matter by giving nothing, and | as the committee is economically inclined anyhow, this may result if the Califor- nians oppose the Santa Monica proposi- n. PORTABLE X-KA¥ APPARATUS. | Edison’s Practicable Application of the | Roentgen Vibration. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 26.—The most practicable application yet made of the Roentgen rays isthat on which Thomas | son has been experimentjng for several days, and which he expects to perfect this week. Edison gave up fluorescent photog- raphy when he began his search for means | to aid the eyes in penetrating solids. He bas made a porteble X-ray apparatus, which ne will exhibit at an electrical exhi- bition in New York soon, and which he believes can be constructed so cheaply and reliably that one can be placed in every dispensary and hospital. The apparatus vonsists of a double-tube vacuum pump attached toa wooden up- right, the exhaust mercury pipe running into a small wooden box alongside the pump, in which the tube is placed. The electrical current is furnished from an or- dinary battery and induction coil under the box or any other convenient place, and the wires leading through the bottom of the box obviate any possibility of surgeon or patient receiving a shock. When & patient arrives at a hospital the surgeon will turn on the current and place the portion of the body to be operated on across the top of the box containing the tube, fasten over his eyes the new fluoro- scope, alarge field glass without lenses, the outer end being covered with paper coated with the tungstate of calcium crys- tals. The cover of the box offers no mate- rial resistance to the passage of the rays, and the surgeon is enabled to examine the injured patient at leisure. —-———— BENJAMIN FRANKLIN WILL. It Is Admitted to Probate in a Massa- chusetts Court. BOSTON, March 26.—The will of Benjamin Franklin was allowed in the Suffolk County Probate Court to-day by Judge Grant, on petition of Mayor Quircy as a foreign will, having been probated about a century ago in the Orphans’ Court in Philadelphia. The probate of the will here is deemad necessary in view of a Jegal disposition of the “Franklin fund,” which was created by the willof Franklin, and now amounts to several hundred thousand dollars. There was no opposi- tion to the probate and it was admitted upon the credit of the certificate of the recorder of the Orphans’ Court. e ROBBED MANY PERSONS. Arrest of Two Negro Highwaymen Who Operated in Chicago. CHICAGO, Irn, March 26.—Harry Kent and Charles Hunter, two desperate negroes who have been wanted by the police here for highway robbery, were captured this morning. Ten people have already identified the men as robbers who beld them up at the point of a revolver, and the police beiieve they can trace thirty or more robberies to them. It was the plan of the nei;roes to hold up only people with satchels whom they believed 10 be just about leaving the city. M=any people living in other cities Lave been stopped by them. When the men were arrested to-day much. valuable plunder was discovered in their den. e MESSAGES OF CHEER SENT. Professor Crouch, the Composer. Not For- gotten by His Friend. BALTIMORE, Mp., March 26.— Since the news has gone forth of the great des- titution in which Professor Crouch, the composer of *Kathleen Mavourneen,” is nearing the end of his long struggle, mes- sages or cheer bave been pouring in on the old man, who shows the most enthusiastic appreciation of the attention that is being sbown him. Yesterday these messages began to take & more substantial shape, and many to | fifth street. whom the strains of “Kathleen Mavour- neen” have brought solace have begun send ing subscriptions. The household was made happy by the receipt of more than $300. A good deal of this bas been sub- scribed here, but $185 was sent by C. S. Brainerd of Chicago that was collected from the music trade of that city. A New York admirer sent $10 and the Actors’ Fund §$20. Manager Edgar Stra- kosch of the Music Hall bas interested himself in calling the attention of theatricai managers and friends to the situation, his first response_coming from Charles Froh- man of New York with the inclosure of a check for $15. This made the old man quite cheerful, and though the end may come at any moment he shows the best of spirits, T Sl RAIDS ON THE BUCKET-SHOPS. Arrests Made at the Instance of the Civic Federation. CHICAGO, IrL., March 26.—Five bucket- shops were raided this afternoon. The arrests were made on warrants sworn out by a man supposed o be a dummy in the employ of the Civic Federation.

Y., March 26.—The police are looking for Joseph Schmidt, who until Friday last boarded at 248 East Sixty- Schmidt is accused by five young women ofkaving won their affection and incidentally of having stolen their money. How many more victims have fallen prey to Schmidt the police are un- able to determine, butthey have reason to believe that fifteen is a conservative esti- mate. Schmidt is rather a fine-looking man about 30 years of age. He is gifted with a winning way and a slippery tongue. With these endowments he has laid siege to susceptible feminine hearts, and in each has seemed to have won. R Rusiness Block Burned.® MACHIAS, ME., March 26.—The Vose block, containing seven stores and a large number of offices, was burned early this morning, Loss, $175,000; insurance, par- tial.

Plaintiff Was Once the Betrothed of the Man She Now Sues for $go0. CLOVERDALE, CAL., March 26.—Much interest is manifested in this county over the approaching lawsuit of Gregory vs. Wiiliams for a claim of $900. Mrs. Florence Gregory, the plaintiff, is the wife ,of a promising young oculist of Healdsburg. The defendant, 0. C.Williams, is a young man of considerable means and a partner in the local firm of Brush, Williams & Co., whose financial standing is above par. Both parties are long-time residents of Cloverdale and well known in this county. Mrs. Gregory (nee Marshall) was engaged to Williams for about five years, but from time to time the marriage was postponed, and she claims that during this engagement she gave de- fendant $900 as part of an investment in the Klint residence, with the intention of making it their futare home. But “there’s many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip.” The expected wedding failed to materialize. The engagement was broken off, and instead, during last January, Miss Marshall married another of her admirers, young Gregory of Healds- burg. Her father, A. 8. Marshall, opposed the marriage, and here comes the peculiar part of the case, in that bhe ,n the meantime made the final pay- ment and consummated the purchase of the property, and has now taken the Williams side of the cace. He is a capitalist, owning much realty in this and other countries of the State. The daughter has also considerable money in her own right, left by her uncle, Hugh Marshall. The attachment served on Williams yesterday was promptly re- leased, he giving a bond with the father of plaintiff as suraty, and the case will go to the Superior Coust. A MCKINLEY MEN WERE SHUT 00T, Lively Proceedings at the Texas State Republican Convention. FOR ALLISON AND REED. Delegates Favoring Them Elected by the - Leaders of the Element in Control. FURY OF THE OPPOSITION. They Charged Upon the Platform and Then Held a Convention of Their Own. AUSTIN, Tex., March 26.—The Repub- lican State Convention to elect delegates to the National couvention met again this morning at 10 o’clock and immediately ad- | journed untii 1 o'clock, as the comnmittee on credentials was not ready to report. This was ominous for the McKinley men | and foreshadowed that their delegation from contested counties would not be seated. In caucus last night, however, they had captared many of Chairman Cuney’s col- ored voters and had formed a perfect or- ganization for to-day’s contest, and they were ready for any emergency. It came at 1 o’clock, when Cuney called the con- | vention to order and announced that the committee on credentials was ready to re- | port. The committee's report recom- | mended that the votes of eighteen coun- }t' s represented by proxies favoring Me- | Kinley be thrown out. There were con- tested delegations from eighteen counties, and the committee in some instances rec- ommended the tnrowing out of the Mc- Kinley delegation and in the others seated both contesting delegatiens, giving each half a vote. They threw out the McKin- ley delegation from Grayson County headed by Chairman Grant of the State executive committee and McKinley’s State leader. | At the conclusion of the reading of the | report a minority report was sent up, but | Chairman Cuney promptly ruled it out of order, for the reason, he stated, that it had not been prepared and signed in the com- mittee-room. Yells and applause fol- lowed his ruling and the wildest confusion prevailed, pending which an effort was made to gag the McKinleyites with the previous question on a motion to adopt | the majority report. The previous ques- tion was withdrawn, and Webb Flanna- gan offered a substitute for the majority report, but Cuney ruled it out of order and for an hour the whole convention was in tumultous excitement, pending whicha motion to adopt the majority “report was made and declared carried. The report of the committee on resolu- tions favoring sound money, protection and tariff on sugar, lumber, cattie, wool and hides was read and declared adopted. Cuney, Ferguson, Makemeson and Ter- | rell, slated last night, were declared elected | delegates to the National Conyention, the two first being Aliison men and the latter | for Reed. Amid great confusion Chair- man Cuney declared the convention ad- journed sine die. The McKinleyites at once made a rush for the platiorm and were met by Cuney’s followers. A rough-and-tumble fight en- | sued. One negro delegate drew a six- | shooter, but police officers, who were on | the platform anticipating trouble, promptly gatbered him in. Webb Flan- | nagan and Chairman Grant, of the execu- tive committee, were knocked down. officers soon quieted the excitement. Cuney’s followers left the hall and the McKinley faction proceeded to organize a convention with 621 delegates, of whom over one-third were colored. A negro was elected chairman and the meeting was harmonious. A sound-money and protec- tion platform was adopted and the follow- ing McKinley delegates to the National convention elected: Frank Hamilton of Austin, R. F. Smith (colored) of Colorado County, Dr. W. Davis of Forth Worth and Chairman John Grant of the State execu- tive committee. The convention then ad- journed sine die. Both conventions elected two electors from the State at large. ——— WILL SEAT EIGHT THOUSAND. Work Pushed on the Republican National Convention Building. ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 26.—Work on the Republican National Convention build- ing is being rapidly pushed forward, and the iron girders and truss supports for the roof are vompleted. It is expected that the building will be finished by June 1. The seating capacity will be so arranged that over 8000 spectators and all the dele- gates will have an unobstructed view of the chairman’s desk. Postmaster Carlisle has arranged for a sub postal station with carriers, and parties attending the conven- tion can have mail addressed to the con- vention hall with assurances of prompt delivery. The plans provide seats and tables for 408 newspaper reporters. D. M. Houser of the Globe-Democrat is chairman of the press committee. In a few aays a secretary will be chosen by the press com- mittee, and his name and address will be published through the press associations. LA Y ATTITUDE OF HARRISON. The There Is a Distinction Botween Being Drafted and Volunteering. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., March 26.—One of General Harrison’s most influential ad- herents among the Indiana politicians was authority to-day for the statement of much significance just now 1n the politi- cal world. Anent Harrison’s being a receptive can- didate he said that a lettor had been writ- ten to the general recently by leading Re- publicans of Indiana asking him if he would accept in case the St. Louis conven- tion nominated him. In reply to this letter General Harrison is said to have remarked that “being drafted and volunteering are two different matters.” The inference is that he would accept the nomination. pERESE S ST To Elect Legisiators. FRANKFORT, Ky., March 26.—Lieu- tenant-Governor Worthington to-day is- sued a call for special elections in the Sen- atorial districts represented in the Legisla- ture by Senators James and Walton, who were unseated for political purposes by the Blackburn Democrats in the Senatorial sented by Senator Landes, who resignea to become a judge of the Court of Appeals. The elections are called for April EE In view of the early date of the elections this is taken as another strong indication of an extra session of the Legislature, at which an attempt would be made to elect Sen- ator Blackburn’s successor. FR R West Virginia Delegates. CHARLESTON, W. Va., March 26.—The Third District convention of West Virginia, after an exciting three hours’ session, elected the following delegates to the Na- tional Republican Convention: J. D. Crawford of Favette County; T. E. Hous- ton, McDowell County, with Peter Silman, Kanawka County, and Walter Ballard, Monroe County, alternates.

LOUIS, Mo., March 26.—The laborers employed in building the Repubhcan National Convention hall threaten to strike unless a sub-contractordischarges the non- union men at work on the iron truss work and girders of the building. The serious nature of the threatened trouble will be understood wben it is recalled that organized labor instituted a strike on the Minneapolis building in 1892, and party leaders afterward asserted, that it was one of the causes leading to the defeat of the candidates chosen in that hall, Mesker Brothers are the sub-contractors, and refuse to dismiss their non-union em- ployes. They are backed up by Chief Contractor McClure, who declares that if the labor unions interfere in the matter, he will discharge union men and fill their places with non-union workmen. Sre gt Crusade Against Cigarettes. CHICAGO, I, March 26. — At the meeting of the Chicago Board of Educa- tion last night the crusade against the cigarette in the public schools was started. The National Cigarette Association was present in the persons of the the presi- dent, Mrs. C. V. Wait, and the organizer, Mrs. M. E. D. Gilmore. The foliowing is the pledge which will | within a few days be ;{’resemed to every pupil in the Chicago public schools for sig- natures: “I solemnly pledge my honor, | God helping me, that I will not smoke | cigarettes of any kind, or give them to | others, and thai I will use my influence 1o | prevent the use of the same among all my | acquaintances.” - Collided With a B CHICAGO, IrL,, March 27.—An electric streetcar collided with an omnibus full of people at Leavitt and Lake streets at 12:30 o’clock this morning and the vehicle was totally demolished. Samuel Williams, one of the passengers in the 'bus was seriously bruised and suffered a dislocation of his shonlder; F. W. Peterson, the mo- torman, was badiy cut about the head by broken glass.

LUK CISE T REDWOOD, Special Administrator Crowe Succeeds in Gathering in $67,000. No Money Yet Paid Out in the Sense of an Actual Distri- bution. REDWOOD CITY, Car., March 26.— For eight years the heirs of Charles Lux have been trying to get scme money out of the Lux estate, or a share of the profits of the immense business of Miller & Lux, but without much success. This con- dition of affairs finally brought about the temporary removal of Jessie Sheldon Potter as executor of the Lux estate, and the appointment of Public Administrator James Crowe as special administrator in Potter’s stead. Like the proverbial new broom Special Adminisirator Crowe has done some clean sweeping and has just gathered in $67,000 which ne holds subject to order of the court. This money represents some of the profits of the Miller & Lux bnsiness. The firm of Miller & Lux has always been very careful in making payments on account of the Lux estate, and on the Pot- ter trial it was claimed by Mr.' Delmas that no money was ever paid outin the sense of an octual distribution, but that such payments were always doled out at advances or loans, for which notes were taken in return as security, In the present case, when the books of Miller & Lux showed a_profit that should be apportioned to the Charles Lux estate, the special admnistrator and his attorney got in their fine work and drew down the $67,000 as above mentioned, with the un- derstanding that the court should order the manner of its distribution. Assoon as it became known that there was some money in sight Sp:cial Admin- istrator Crowe was the object of much at- tention, and the next of kin of Charles Lux (the German heirs) were notified that counsel for Executor Potter would make a motion that they (Mastick, Belcher & Mastick and George C. Ross) be allowed $25,000 on account of attorneys’ fees. To-day being probate day in tne Supe- rior Court tne watter came before Judge Buck in regular order. The German helrs filed an objection to the making of any order for the payment of $25000 or any other sum to the attorneys for executor or executors of the will of Charles Lux on the grounds that only two' days notice had been given these contestants of the apvlication; that the fees of the various attorneys of the representaiives of the estate could not yet be properly apportioned or fixed, and that the services of the attorneys applying for such order .have been vaiuable chiefly to Henry Miller as surviving partner of the firm of Miller & Lux, and should be liberally paid for by him, and so far asthey have been neces- sary, expedient or in any way of value to said estate, have already been paid tor, as shown in the accounts of the executors on file in the matter of snid estate. Attorney George C. Ross stated to the court that he had intended to make an ex-parte motion for attorney’s fees on be- half of attorneys for executor; but, as At- torney J. H. Campbell was unable to be present and wished to be in court when the motion was made, he would defer to Mr. Campbell’s request, and asked that another day be set. The matter was there- upon put over until Saturday, April 4. i h st dinte A Chinese Exodus. SEATTLE, Wasn., March 26.—A mem- ber of the Wa Chong Comrany, one of the biggest concerns on the Pacific Coast, said to-day that with the advent of work on the great railway to be constructed from Pekin to Hankow, China, there would be an exodus of Chinese laborers from this country. Thousands, he declares, w:o baye a knowledge of or who have been doing such work in the United States will return to their native land in order to seek employment on and helE construct the great highway which the Emperor in January gave 1su Lang a franchise to contest, and also in the district repre-| build, DICKEY TAKES FIRST PLACE, Wins the Chamj)ionship in the Pigeon-Shooting Contest : AND GETS THE DALY CUP One Hundred and Four Gunners Participate in the Slaughter of the Birds. BIGGEST CONTEST ON RECORD. In Many Instances Scores Are Tied and Some Rich Stakes Are Divided. LONG BRANCH, N. J., March 26.—The grand American handicap shoot was con- cluded to-day at Elktwood Park. The moneys were divided, but the viue ribbon honors of theé wing shooters for 1896 be- long to O. R. Dickey of Boston, who took first place in the shoot-off as well as the silver cup, value $500. presented by the Messrs. Phil Dalv Sr. and Jr. to the win- ners of the great event. The entries numbered 109. Five men withdrew, leaving a field of 104, which ex- ceeded by two the largest number of con- testants that ever took part in the grand prix at Monte Carlo, the premier event of European pigeon shooting. When the two rounds were all shot at2 o’clock this afternoon eight men had killed twenty-four birds and thirteen had accounted for twenty-three. The purse of $1000 with the extra entrance fees amount- ing to $1710, was divided as follows: The first ¢ight highest guns to divide the $1000 purse and 56 per cent of the extra money; the remaining thirteen high guns to divide 44 per cent or the balance of the ex- tra money. The ties for places for the Daly cup were to be shot off, miss and out. The first eight men thus got $244 70 each as their share, and the next thirteen men took $57 87 apiece. The shooting of the ties resulted as stated, in the champion- ship won by Dickey, with Sim Glover of Rochester, who was on the thirty-yard mark, second, and G. W. Coulston of Brooklyn (28 yards) third. The weather to-day was almost perfect, and those who faced the traps for the sec- ond round had nothing to complain of. W hen darkness compelled an adjournment last evening eleven of the competitors had clean scores to their credit. They had not been very long at the traps, however, be- fore the top-notchers began to climb down, and the callant eleven dwindled with startling rapidity until only three re- mained with clean scores to their credit at the close of the nineteenth. The fortunate ones were Heikes, Carl von Longerke and B. W. Claridge. A fastand low left quarter fell dead out of bounds in the twentieth and relegated Heikes to the second divis- ion, and a low-flying incomer disposed of Von Longerke in the same round. Claridge failed to get on terms with his twenty-first, and the straight scores were over. The two leading divisions then shot off their ties, miss and out. Dickey grassed six straight and took first place and the cup. Glover missed his sixth, as did Carl- ston, but in shooting off the tie for second place Glover won. Heikes lost his fifth and tuok tourth place. Fen Cooper failed to score his fourth bird and Thomas missed his second, so they took fifth and sixth places respectively. Cubberly won seventh place from Carl von Longerke. In the Branchport sweepstakes forty-one subscribers at $5, seven birds, thirty yards rise, R. Phister, 8. J. Held, E. D. Fulford, Phil Daly Jr., W. G. Clark, J. H. Duston, W. F. Gray, R. R. Morrill and C. Sweilein killed seven straight and divided the stakes. The Sportsman’s handicap, forty-eight subscribers at $5, seven birds, W. S. King 28, Captain W. Money 29, Paul L. Clark 27, T. W. Morfey 29, D. M. Porterfield 29, I. 8. Duston 27, Georze Corning Jr. 27, A.P. Pope 27, J. L. Kavanaugh 27, and D. A, Upson 29, killed seven straight and di- vided. —_———— FOUGHT TEN HOT ROUNDS, Paddy Purtell Given the Decision Over wScaldy Bill.” NEW YORK, N. Y., March 26.—At the Manhattan Club to-night Paddy Partell of Kansas City fought ten hot rounds with William Quinn, better known as *‘Scaldy Bill,” from Pottsvilie, Pa. There was hard hitting throughout the bout, and both were fighting hard as the bell rang for the end of the last round. The spectators were in favor of a draw, but the judges decided for Purtell. Tom Morriarty of Holyoke, Mass., de- feated Tom Deviin of Philadelphia in eight rounds. They fought at 135 pounds. The bout between Kid McPartland of New York and Frank Gerard of Chicago resulted in a victory for the Kid. The referee stopped the fightin the fifth rouna, as Gerard was very badly punished.
