THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1896. CLAIM MORE VICTORIES Employment Obtained by a Large Number of Striking Painters. BOSSES EXPECTED TO YIELD. The Building Trades Council Has Se- lected Two Temporary Busi- ness Agents. There were no startling developments in the strike of the union painters yesterday. The men were greatly encouraged upon about 100 more of their num- nd work with the friendly earned that several of the prominer racting painters wereabout to open union shops. Every master painter who comes into line adds to their strength, they contend, in their fight with their avowed enemies. t preparations are being made for the big benefit for the strikers to be given in the Bush-street Theater next Wednes- day evening by the theatrical profession. Already talent enough has volunteered to give three shows, and it is all of the first- class professional order. e is nothing new on the masters’ side ot the controversy. At the meeting of the Building Trades Council last evening H. M. Saunders of the Carpenters’ ana R. T. Mclvor of the Painters’ unions were selected as tempo- rary business agents for all the unions in the council. Permanent agents will be elected on April 11. SR BETTER TIMES AHEAD. The Striking Painters Are Greatly Encouragad by Slgns of Future Activity In Trade. The meeting of the striking painters yes- rday morning was more cheerful than ce the strike began. The reason canuse times are brightening for the nd the majority expect to re- 1 before the middle of that time the Building ard system will be in | he only work done at all men. In the meantime son to believe that scme ! o are wavering between the Master Painters’ demands of the to accede to the work done by the bosses w en by the le. Reports were made at the meeting that of the larger painting contractors | union men to go to work | vented from coming out | nowledging the union by f e one will taunt them | i having been defeat One or the gest employers in the City is expected » unionize his shop within thirty-six he has several large contracts on | operty-owners have but in the non-union men | able to do good work or k done on time. The man is really emy of the union and he has no at friendship for the masters’ associa- ion fee esterday fees and igation. The union interpret 1 that even the non-union men, ave held out since the strike began, become alarmed and want to bein s too late. A victory 1ally drive the non- n, for after a few ¥ be balled should they to join, and they would be driven from v job where members of the Building are at work. Trade From all accounts between seven 100 more painters went to work 3 *h reduces the strike situa lerable extent. The number of ikers who registered, as they are required to do, was correspondingly re- duced. President Rose, in disc sing the sgitua- eeling much b terto-day than r, in their cause and in than they had then. Ido notwant to think that this strike has not ing among the mem- f committee mikes, but ou e good work snd ¢ hose who were actual want. The public also has come to our relief in & most ge: manner. We do not care to have the dark side of the strike | published, but I tell you is rarely thata strike takes place but what it is accompanied by suffering, worry and 0o often privation and want. There Is one thing I want to commend. our union are many men with families, and to these the single men have given way witha |i-sacrificing spirit that is truly commend- The single men can stand idleness better the men who have families dependent em. Their time will come before long. S THE BUILDING TRADES. In The Councll Selects Two Temporary Business Agents to Look After Union Matters. Considerable important business was transacted at a meeting of the Building Trades Council last evening. The dele- gate from Carpenters’ and Joiners’ Union 483 stated that his union had come to the front in support of the painters’ strike, and after April 1, when the working card of the council goes into effect, every job on which non-union painters are at work will ‘be *struck.” Financial support will be given when wanted. Delegate McKenzie of the Plasterers’ Union was chosen as financial secretary, yice Hanley, who is out of town. Delegate H. M. Saunders stated that he ished the Building Trades Council to indorse a resolution he had to present. Fle called attention to the fact that Claus Spreckels had recently given to the Pacific | Rolling Mills of this City the contract for 2200 tons of steel to be used in the con- struction of the new home of THE CALL on Market and Third streets. This is of great importance to the workmen of this City and to those connecicd with the building trades. Mr. Bpreckels has by this act taken a stand as a patron of home indus- tries and at the same time furnished employment for a large force of working- men. By letting this large contract toa local manufacturer he will be the means of distributing thousands of dollars among the workingmen of this City. Hisexample should be followed by all others, Mr. Saunders said, and added that he desired an expression of appreciation from the Building Trades Council and offered the foliowing resolution, which was enthusi- astically adopted : »EAs, The proprietor of the new CALL buildi ‘qh;nis’r;?nrghat‘:ed the 2200 tons of steel 10 be used from & local manufacturer, thereby stimulating home industry and providing em- ployment ior idle men; be it Kesolved, By the Building Trades Council of San Francisco, that thiz action calls for the most generous approval on our part, and we do hereby tender out_hearty thanks to Claus Spreckels for this evidence of his public spirit, and urge others who depend upon the public for patronage and support to follow bis ex- ample. Under the constitution of the council the pusiness agent or agentsshall be se- lected by the several unions composing that body at a regularly called mass-meet- ing. 8o far no meeting has been called for this purpose, and, as the by-laws per- mitted, the council selected two. who will act from April 1 until their successors are elected at a meeting which will be held on the morning of April 11. The business agents elected by the council were H. M. Saunders (the walking delegate for the Carpenters’) and R. T.gMclvor {who holds a similar position in the Painters’ Union). These business agents will attend to_all of the outside businessin their line for all unions represented in the couneil. The delegates were instructed to call the attention of the members of their unions to tke biz mass-meeting which will be held at 115 Turk street on the 3lst inst., at which the working card and other im- portant matters will be discussed. e e SHINGLERS ORGANIZE. They Will Form a Unlon and Join the Bullding Trades Council. There are in this City about forty shing- lers. Of thisnumber thirty-five signed a roll and organized a Shinglers’ Union last evening at 115 Turk street. Organizer Zant of the Building Trades Council ex- plained the new card system to the mem- bers of the new union, which will at once send delegates to the council. he temporary officers selected were: W. E. Doyle, president; J. F. Harney, secretary; Benjamin McGrath, treasurer; L. Smith, marshal. A committee composed of George Barker, Frank Gorman and J. T. Tierney was selected to frame a constitution and laws. he union will meet Thursday night next to confer with the Building Trades Council and again Friday night to go into permanent organization. THE STRANGLER AGA Irene Phillips’ Assailant Attacks a Girl on Ellis Street. His Latest Attempt Has Satisfied Cap- tain Lees of the Fellow’s Identity. The strangler who attempted to choke Irene Phillips in her room on Sutter street, has appeared in a house on Ellis street and there endeavored to carry out his in- sane desire on an unfortunate woman named Petit. Both these women tell the same story and have given the same de- scription of the strangler to the police who are now searching for him throughout the City. The woman Irene Wilson, as she is sometimes called, but whose real name is Phillips, who has reported to the police that a stranger attempted to strangle her last Monday evening at 304 Sutter street, was none the worse yesterday for the alleged choking, She was called upon by Detective Ben Bohen, to whom, in the presence of her sister, Frankie Phillips, at 21 Quincy street, she made a complete statement of the affair and gave a precise | description of the man she believes in- { tended her murder. Subsequently, with a | broad silken band about her throat to hide the finger-marks of the strangler, she de- parted for the Bay Iustrict racetrack in search of her prey The woman is very precise in her de-| scription of her assailant, saying: g‘h’, is a man 5 feet 8 or 9 inches tall, stoutly built ana about 39 years old. His | medium-sized face is adorned with a blonde mustache that does not quite hide his very red lips or his fine set of white teeth. ~He wore a sack suit of dark mate- rial and a brown derby hat.” The de- scription is compleled with the statement that *‘the man’s hands are very soft and velvety, but powerful.” Another womanj who had a narrow es- cape from the murderous clutches of the strangler; was Laura Petit, 212 Ellis street, and she is congratulating herself tha: other woman was 1n an adjoining room, which saved her from the fate of Mamie McDermott and Bertha Paradis. Her description of the man corresponds in every particuler with that given by Irene Phillips of the man who tried to strangle her Monday nizht. He is apparently an Englishman, about 5 feet 9 inches tall, long blonde hair, blonde mustache curled, small regular teeth slightly blackened by the use of tobacco or opium, large blue eyes with the whites bloodshot, short neck and appar- ently 30 yearsof age. He is well dressed; in a dark cheviot suit, stiff hat and carries | his overcoat over his arm. The police have been in possession of this description from different women for some time, but, strange to say, he has not yet been captured. In speaking of his visit Laura Petit said last night: “The man came to the house last night. As soon as he entered the room I had an uncomfortable feeling that I cannot define, and somehow his big, bloodshot blue eyes sent a thrill of fear through me. It maue me watch him nar- rowly. "H)e talked pleasantly for alfew minutes. He invited me to sit beside him, and as T didso I observed a peculiar twitching in his fingers. And let mesay, he had beauti- fui hants. “He put his right hand on the back of my neckand drew it round to my throat. I took hold of his hand and threw it off, telling him not to do that. There was a look on the man’s face that frightened me. Three times he put his hand on my neck and drew it round to my throat, and each time I threw it off. “T became so alarmed that I told him I had friends in the next room and must go to them. I rose from the sofaand as I did so he stood up. His hands were twitching convuisively and I called out to my friend in the next rcom that I would be in to see her in a minute. She replied, ‘All right,’ and suddenly the man’s whole nature changed. As I opened the door and let bim out he seemed a quiet nice gentleman. “I reported the man’s peculiar conduct to Detective Anthony the following day. If T had been alone in the house I would have run outside and given an alarm as I was afraid of the man and had a feeling that he might strangle me.” Yesterday afternoon Captain Lees in- structed Detective Anthony to get an ac- curate description of the man from Laura Petit and on comparing it with the descrip- | tion of Irene Phillips’ visitor the conclu- ! sion was plain it was the same man. ————— A Warlike Youth. According to the Philadelphia Record the war fever has struck the schools of Philadelphia. *“The boys’ military organi- Zations in the public schools,’” it says, *‘are discussing the advisability of marching on Spain. A nine-year-old youth of one of the uptown schools fairly exploded with patriotism the other night. He has a set | of cards representing the flags of ail nations, and he had industriously, by the aid of colored crayons, made a number of paper copies of the flag of Spain. Care- fully gathering up the copies he took them down to the kitchen and, with’ an air of ‘determination, began throwing them one by one into the fire. When asked what he meant by destroying the resuit of nhis labor, he sternly replied: ‘Us boys are goirg to show Spain that we ain't afraid of her, and I'm burning up the Spanish flag. That’s what I'm doing. All us boys are going to burn Spanish flags.’ Then he solemnly loaded up his Fourth of July pistol with caps and fired a salute in honor of the event.” e ———— Possibly the largest experimental or- chard of apples in the world is owned by Benjamin Buckman of Farmingdale, 11l His collection embraces over 550 named varieties. ————— A VERY large part of human ills are cured by Mitchell's Magic Lotion. ¥ i rounded by the sa T0 BURN THE GARBAGE, Alameda Is Getting Ready to Establish a Crema- tory. OBJECTIONS TO THE DUNMPS. Bay Farm Islanders Think That Their Typhoid Fever Results From the Present System. Tke proposition to establish a crematory at or near Bay Farm Island, for the pur- pose of burning the Alameda garbage instead of dumving 1t on the island, the latter method being in operation at pres- ent, has aroused much interest across the bay, and is meeting with general favor. The health officers say that the crematory is necessary in order to ensure satisfactory sanitary conditions if the garbage is not to be removed entirely from this vicinity, and with the furnaces in use about the only nuisance that could be charged against the city would be abolished. Under the present system, most of the garbage is hauled to Bay Farm Island, which is a part of Alameda, and isdumped there. Another dumping ground is on the lowland near Webster street and the sstuary. Recently a tract of land near the southern end of Mound street was de- voted to the same purpose, but the City Trustees have remedied the condition that long existed there. The offensive nature of this system of disposing ot the refuse materials from the Alameda homes is the principal objection, for the regular burning of the garbage at the West End dumps removes the danger to health. | Bay Farm Island property-owners. are | inclined to believe that the garbage has been one of the chief causes of the typhoid fever that hds causea a proportionately large number of deatbs on the island dur- ing several yearsand they will be glad to | have the conditions changed, but the health officers declare that the garbage has not been a cause of the sickness. 5 Dr. Thomas Carpenter, the veterinary surgeon of the health board, has made | numerous official visits to the island and in connection with his work he has studied what he believes to be the real causes of the typhoid. *[n the first place,” said he, vesterday, “‘there are no sewers on the island and the land is so low that theré is little natural drainage. The impurities cannot be thor- oughly washed away by the rains. “Decomposed matter is used to an enor- mous extent in fertilizing the gardens that are numerous on the island. Asparagus, which is grown in immense quantities, and other vegetables are trimmed near the houses of the market-zardeners and heaps of the refuse vegetable matter decay and are allowed to remain for months. With these conditions and the lack of drainage it is no wonder that typhoid fever breaks out on the island. “0f course the dumping of garbage on | the island does not help matters any, but | there are more important objections for | the islanders to raise. With ordinary sanitary conditions Bay Farm Island, sit- uated as it is, ought to be about as free from disease as any place in the world.”” Dr. C. H. Lubbock, the health officer, exprezsed the same views when inter- viewed by a CALL representative. “I have seen a typhoid fever patient on the 1sland in a Toom whose windows opened on a heap of decomposed vege- table matter that was piled right up against the house,” he said. “Surface wells are used by most of the people on the island, and where the de- composed matter is spread so thick over the ground it would be impossible to pre-. vent the water from becoming con taminated. | “The island js sF]endidly eituated. Sur- | t water of the bay and with strong and steady winds blowing over the entire expanse, nature has en- dowed it with great advantages. There ought to be no typhoid fever there, and there need be noue, even though the dumping of garbage at one end is con- tinued. Only the islanders who allow the decomposed matter to lie thick about their premises have had typhotd fever.” Dr. Lubbock suggests that the planting of rows of eucalyptus trees about the entire jsland would resultin a great im- provement and would give a decidedly picturesque appearance. Hesays that the trees, as they should be pianted, would not interfere wich the sweep of the wind. In regard to the disposal of the Alameda garbage, Dr. Lubbock strongly favored a crematory. Heis oplposed to the mainte- nance of dumps in Alameda, as the homes of the people reach to almost every limit of the city. The City Trustees are to take up the garbage question at their next meeting. TWELVE YEARS OF WORK Ladies of Lincoln Relief Corps Celebrate Its Anni- versary. Cards, Music, Dancing and a Sumptuous Banquet Enjoyed by Three Hun- dred Guests. Gray, scarred veterans and blushing buds of maiden loveliness waged war over card-tables, mingled in the dance or joined in the pleasures of the table in honor of Lincoln Relief.Corps’ twelfth an- niversary, which was commemorated last night. Native Sons’ Hall, on Mason street, near Post, was given over to the merry- makers, who held high revelry. The meet- ing-rooms of the corps were filled with card-tables, where the more sedate eie- ment congregated to enjoy a quiet rubber, while the devotees of the light-footed god- dess found a more congenial rendezvous in the quarters of Lincoln Post, G. A. R., on the same floor. About 300 igeuts were in attendance, the ladies being beautifully gowned, while the military portion of the male contingent wore full-dress uniforms, putting the mere civilian altogether in the shade. The gathering was entirely informal, but, perhaps for that very reason, most enjoyable, the ladies of the corps doing ail intheir power to make their guests feel at home. About 9:30 o’clock a sumptuous banquet was served in one of the lower halls, during which the following toasts were drunk, being responded to with ap- propriate, and in some instances very elo- quent addresses: : “Organization of Lincoin Corps,” C. Mason Kinne, past department commander. “Grand Army of the Republic,” Charles E. Wilson, department commander; music, “Marching Through Georgi “Woman's Relief Corps,” Mrs. Geraldine E. Frispie, ?uul department president. “Lincoln Post in Its Relations to the Corps,” H. W. Mortimer, hpolt commander; music, “Rally Round the Flag.” “Lincoln Corps in Its Relations to the Post,” Mrs. L. Milne, corps president. “The Name Honored by Post and Abraham Lincoln,” Hon. H. C. Dibble, pas! post commander. Music, “Tenting To-Night.” “Loyal Women buring the War,” Hon. A.J. Buckles, past department commander. “Loyal Women Since the War,” Rev. E. R. Dille, past department chaplain. ‘Musle, ““Jobinny Comes Marching Home.” The menu was excellent and varied, and the banquet hall, with its hangings of bunting and garlands of flowers, presented a beautiful picture. The tables were ar- ranged 1n the form of a Maltese cross, that being the shape of the badfi worn by mem- bers of the corps. Mr. Kinne presided over the entire affair, but was heard to remark that, the ladies having arranged everything to work like clockwork, he had nothing to do but look on with the guests. Lincoln Relief Corps No. 3, W. R. C., was organized twelve yearsago, Mr. Kinne installing its first officers. Since its or- ganization the corps has expended in its charities over $6500 in money alone, be- sides Jarge quantities of clothing, medicine and provisions. The dues of the members, who now number 175, would not be sufficient to enable the corps to dispense such liberal aid to the needy, and the necessar% funds are raised by the annual bazaar by means of which-the organization is enabled to be charitable and yet remain solvent, having at present §1140 in its treasury. All old soldiers in need are aided, whether members of the Grand Army of the Republic or not. Its present officers are Mrs. L. C. Milne, pres- 1dent; Mrs. Frances Williams, first vice- president; Mrs. Edith Comstock, second vice-president; Miss Hattie Adams, secre- tary, and Mrs. Ella Bailey, treasurer. OUTING OF THE BUTCHERS Arrangements Being Made for the Great Event on May 20. Twenty Thousand Persons Will At- tend From Here, Stockton, San Jose and Sacramento. The Butchers’ Board of Trade is prepar- ing for its third annual celebration, which will be held on Wednesday, May 20, at Shell Mound Park and the Oakland race- track, both places being necessary to ac- commodate the crowd which will be enter- tained. At the last celebration over 19000 people were present. Every market will be clesed all day and nota pound of meat will be sold in either San Francisco, Oakland, Alameda or Berkeley. The fine of $50 as a penalty for keeping open on this day is rigidly enforced. Though there are nearly 600 markets in the City but one violation of this order, was recorded during the two previous cele- brations. Itis the purpose of the committee to furnish a varied programme at the race- Samuel C. Hammond, Chairman of the General Committee. [Drawn from a photograph.] track, commencing at i2 ». and lasting un- til 5 p. M., consisting of horse races, bicycle races, trick-riding, bronco-busting, ete. To avoid long waits between races it has been planned to have some event come off every fifteen minutes. The programme at the racetrack and at Shell ‘;\Iound will be carried ouf afthe same time, the hours for beginninz and closing being identical. At Shell Mound a series of games and races for valuable prizes will occupy the hours between 2 and 5p.mM. Those who prefer can indulgein dancing to fine music in the pavilion, Bands wiil be stationed in the grand stand at the racetrack, in the amphitheater at Snell Mound Park and one each in the pavilions. Arrangements have been made with the railway company to run excursions from Sacramento, San Jose and Stockton, and 1t is expected fully 5000 persons will attend the annual celebration from those cities. A low rate has been made, and excursion- ists will be carried to the gates of the park without change. A delegation from the general committee will visit the cities named within the next few days to complete arrangements. The several standing committees have been appointed as follows: Finance—S.

A Well-Preserved Man’s Story. ‘When Mr. Depew sat down, amid great applause, the health of Mr. Robert Bonner was drunk, and, contrary to his usual cus- tom, the veteran ex-editor of the New York Ledger made a short response. He said that although public speaking was not one of his gifts, he could not forbear from rising and joining in the testimonials of regard which were being presented to his old friend and journalistic asso- ciate, Charles A. Dana. He had known Mr. Dana for over forty years—for a longer time, in fact, than Moses tar- ried in the wilderness. As he gazed upon the editor of the Sun and observed how bfigm and vigorous he was, he could not but feel that the psalmist, in placing the limit of human life at three score and ten, was laying down a rule to which there were notable exceptions. *“As for'myself,” Mr. Bonner added, ‘‘I should like to relate a littie incident which attests that a revised version of the psa Imist's limit is also needed to cover my case. I ‘was down in Georgia not long ago, and a gentleman to whom I was introduced said to me: ‘Mr. Bonner, are you as fond of fine horses as your father used to be? "'— New York Mailand Express. It Would Be a Great Change. “Here was something that was quite new to me,” said a stroller, “a noiseless truck; a truck with rubber-tired wheels. It belonged to a manufacturer or dealer in rubber tires. I caught only a glimpse of the signboard on the side of it, and so it was natural enough that it should have rubber tires, but a truck with rubber-tired wheels was very striking, all the same. Supfim all trucks had rubper tires ?”’—New York Sun. BREAD SELLS FOR A SONG Three Loaves Delivered in Town for Five Ceats. WAR AMONG ITALIAN BAKERS. Dealers Carrying on the Fight With Energy While Consumers Re- ceive the Benefit. As a result of the war between the Italian bakers three loaves of bread can now be purchased for 5 cents. M. Bacelli & Co. of the Co-operative Bakery at 43614 Union street introduced the cut, and in order to drive the firm out of business the Union of Italian Bakers, which is composed exclusively of manu- facturers and dealers, and which is a powerful organizution, established a store at 1421 Dupont street, where three loaves of bread are also sold for 5 cents. The competition is carried on with much energy and keenness, and the people who purchase Italian and French bread are de- riving benefit from it. Bacelli & Co. seem pleased with the prospects of what promises to be a fong and bitter fight, as they say that they are now selling on an average 3000 loaves of bread a day, and by handling such large quantities at low prices they can make the business pay, though they confess that th}gly will not get rich at it. . T. Guinasso of 1309 Dupont street is resident of the Bakers' Union which is ghting Bacelli & Co. He says itisim- Possible for the manufacturer to sell three oaves of Itglian or French bread for 5 cents and niake a living in the business. The dealers in_the union sell two loaves for a nickel. Formerly it was one loaf. There are nine bakers belonging to the nnion. They are as follows: F. T. Gui- nasso, 1309 Dupont street; C. Lucchesi & Brother, 323 Broadway; Razzetto & Ur- bani, 1407 Dupont street; L. Favilla & Co., 1508 Stockton street; A. Massone & Co.. 1339 Dupont street; A. Cuneo & Co., 511 Green street; S. Paganini, 1413)4 Dupont street; F. Calegari & Co., 427})4 Union street; Angelo Petri, 117 Francisco street. “In Februoary, 1895,” said Mr. Guinasso yesterday, “Levrero opened a place at 1407 Dupont street and commenced selling two loaves of bread for 5 cents. This was the beginning of all the trouble. Ul) to this time the Italian bakers sold one loaf for 5, just the same as the French and German akers. This one loaf weighed almost as much as the two which we now sell for 5 cents. These t¥o weigh about one and a half pounds. Well, when the cut was made the old dealers got together and started a bakery in opposition to 1421 Du- pont street and began selling three loaves for 5 cents. Of course the place was run at a loss, but the union stood it, and Le- vyrero was obliged to go out of business. He had to compete with the union, and, as he could not make expenses, his busi- ness went to the wall.” The union then closed up its shop where three loaves were sold for 5 cents, and the uniform rate of 5 cents for two loaves was established among the bakers. “We not only sell three small loaves of bread for 5cents, and three large ones for 10,” said Mr. Bacelli, *‘but we deliver them to any part of the City. We cannot supply the demand. Of course, our trade is done on a cash basis. We could not afford to carry on a credit business at such low fig- ures for bread. Our sales average 3000 loaves a day. Of course, we do not expect to grow rich; but we are pavingexpenses, uns that satisfies us while the combine continues to try and drive us out of busi- ness. ““The union has gone to all the mills in San Francisco, and even to Oakland, to influence them from selling us flour, to injure our credit. But we buy for cash, and are independent of the mills and dealers.” During the day there was a constant stream of men, women and children passing in and out of the bakery burdened with bréad at *‘three for 5.” At the beginning of the eighteenth cen- tury there were over 200 offenses in Eng- land that were punishable by death.
