THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1896. COLONEL McDONALD WAS OUTWITTED How His Officers Ousted an Armorer in Spite of Him. RETALIATORY THREATS. Result of the Fight for the Command of the First Regiment. THAT INNOCENT RESOLUTION. Officers of the Old First and Third Put Their Man in the Cov- eted Position. The knowing ones in the National Guard | who predictea friction and possibly schism in the organization asa result of the re- | cent election for colonel of fthe con- soildated Frst Regiment are seeing the matter in a fair way to turn out as they | thought it would, and Colonel McDonald is even now wondering just how he failed | to see certain moves of the men who op- | pose his wishes and frequently checkmate | them. As a matter of fact the colonel was out- witted regarding the patronage of the reg- iment and 1s not feeling very comfortable over the matter. The struggle for the command of San | ancisco’s new and only regiment was a long and bitter fight, and the tradingand | political manipulating that were resorted | to by . the workers of both candidates rankled in the breasts of both factionsand ularly in those of the losers, who peniy predicted that Colonel McDonald | would not have things so much his own | way as he hoped. 3 Oune of Colone! McDonald’s first official acts was to order the companies of the Guard stationed in the armories at Market and Tenth streets and on Golden Gate avenue | of their quarters and distribute them | betveen the I street and Page and | Gough street armories. In doing this he | unwittingly played into the hands of his | opponen the officers of the pld Frst and | Third regiments. - The same strength that insured his elec- | tion as colonel in the face of determined | ion would have enabled him to ar- | range the patronage to suit himself had he kept that strength together, but this he | failed to do. Naturally, having been long | { | associated with the old Second Regiment, |° he knew and favored the veteran armorer of that.or ation and desired him to retain the position and also his assistant at the Gough-street armory, which became the headquarters of the consolidated First. | This he was enabled to do while the board of officers from both armories voted | together. Recently the old officers of the First and Third, who are in command of the companies at the Gough-street armory, | put up a little job on Colonel McDonald | that worked like a charm and has placed them in virtual control of the establ ment. At the last meeting of the board of offivers an innocent-appearing little r ion to the effect that the separate sets of officers of the two armories should have control of the establishments in which they are stationed was offered and ac- cepted witbout a murmer by all present. Its significance -did not appear until the next meeting of the officers of the Gough- street armory. | | Out there are eight companies, only two of ch came from the old S8econd and the officers of the consclidated-out First and Third have a decided majority. Shortly after the meeting of the Regi- | mental Board the Gough-street miiit men held a meeting, and a resolution was quietly introduced decl of Armorer Woodall and Assistant Fords- ham vacant. | The officers who had been in the Second | opposed the resolution on the ground that | s the drmorer bad been in his place for | years, was a tried man and acceptable to ice commanding officer. They talked | strongiy of retaliatory measures if Wood- | all were removed. but they stormed and ex- | postulated in vain. The majorjty point calmly to the resolution passed by the board of officers giving the Gough-street | people absolute control of their own arm- ory, and passed the resolution in spite of ihe opposition. When the officers of the old First and Third proceeded to elect Armorer Shel- don, who had presided over their estab- lishment at Tenth and Market streets, | ith Assistant Sullivan to aid him, the | race of the defeated ones broke out anew. | They attempted to stave off the action | by & postponement, but did not succeed, | and Sheedon is now in possession. Colonel | McDonald is not expected to take the | matter easily and the officers who effected | the change are waiting anxiously for his | next move, which will probably be made | at the next meeting of the board of | officers. | They say, however, that they had a per- | fect right to take the action they did, as they are responsible for the bills and ~~n'd be allowed to dictate who is to be ; rge of their establishment, particu- | as their choice is a veteran of the | d a remarkably capable man. | i L JITY GUARD CLUB. | 1 Auxiliary Institution of Com- sy B, First Infantry Regiment, N. G. C., Elects Officers. Yesterday was the forty-second anni- versary of the Tity Guard, now Company | B, First Infantry Regiment, N. G. C. Last evening the City Guard Club was perma- nently organized by the election of the following officers Prestdent, Colonel president, E. C. Lundquo! 1. Steiger; secretary, W. : | Colonel George W. Granniss, Colonel W. C. Lit- e, Captain George Filmer, McD. O'Brien, Jo- seph Fetz, Charles Bone and P. J. Kennedy. The rotl was signed last night hy 12 men and among the signers were: Colonel Granniss, W. F. Burke, Colonel Little and others who served with honor when the service of loyal men was needed most in California. Z 2 Company B, as a military organization of the First Regiment, is stationed at the armory on Page street, but the City Guard Club, which owns much of the valuable vroperty, tropbies, ornaments and treas- lires acquired during the past forty years, has leased apartments in the old “armory of the First on Market street, near Tenth. The purpose of the club is to strengthen and preserve the ties wi }ch bind together the comrades of the military organization whose history is a part of San Francisco's renown. orge R. Burdick; vice- ; treasurer, Charles J. Hayes; trustees— —— THE FIRST'S COLORS. ‘Governor Budd Wil Present Them to the Regiment This Even- ing. A pretty military ceremony will take place this evening at the armory of the consolidated First Regiment on Page and Gough streets, when a new stand of colors will be presented to the organization. It has been the custom in militia organ- jzations from .time immemorial for the | mission for selling her house or go with- | likely that it will start up again in a suit | | brought by Murphy himself in his own | Murphy to recover the commission he | ordered the jury to find for the defendant, ing the positions | &'f | F. commanding officer, when retiring or when the regiment disbands, to take the flags as his own property. This custom was followed when the First and Third Infantry regiments and the Second Artil lery Regiment of this City were consol: dated into the First Infantry, and the new organization was without fla§s. olonel McDonald of the old Second be- came the commander of the new regiment and had the flags of the consolidated-out Second, but they were artillery flags and therefore not fit for an infantry regiment, 50 that new ones became necessary. Colo- nel McDonald and his staff concluded that the regiment should have as fine a stand of colors as money could buy, and for seve- ral weeks past skillfui flagmakers have been at work on them. Governor Budd was asked, as the com- mander-in-chief of the militia of the State, to make the presentation speech, and has signified his intenticn of bemng present with his staff to do the honors. The occasion will be unique, from the fact that the parade that will take place after the ceremony will be the first parade of a twelye-company regiment to take place in this City. The captains of the various companies have notified their men that a full at- tendance will be expected, ard the occasion is expected to draw almost the entire strength of the regiment. The evolutions, on account of the number of men and the size of the assembly room, will be ratber limited, and the affair will probably par- take more of the nature of an inspection than a parade, though the Governor may review the regiment on the street. MR, MURPHY MUST SUE, His Only Way to Get a Com- mission From Mrs. Ellen Colton. A Verdict for the Defendant in the First National Bank's Action, Judge Hunt has decided that S. G. Mur- phy, president of the First National Bank, must sue Mrs. Ellen Colton for his com- its This decision ends the Colton-Murphy fight for the time being, but it is not un- ot private capacity. The suit just decided by Judge Hunt was brought by the First National Bank to recover from Mrs. Col- ton the amount of an overdraft for $8250. | She claimed the overdraft was the result of the action of Mr. Murphy, president of the bank. She said he deducted the amount from her account as a commission for the sale of her house on California strect to C. P. Huntington after he had promised her it would not cost her an thing. The checks in payment were de- po-ited in the First National Bank and from them the $325 50 was deducted. Murphy claimed that the checks were made out to him personally, but the ks themselves showed that they had been made out in faver of the bank. Upon rhis showing Judge Hunt instructed the jury to find for the defendant. In instructing the jury Judge Hunt said that the question whether or not Mr. Mur- »hy was entitled to a commission could | only be determined by a suit brought by | sought. As to his action 1n deducting | from the deposits the amount claimed, the Judge said it was clearly wrong, and he Mrs. Colton. —.—— - REAL E;TATE TRANSACTIONS. son and Robert Fer- ,112:6 W of Bu- on S lin, .

He mentioned that the party had been | invited by Supervisor Spreckeis to make an excursion about the bay, and stated that his friends, as well as himself, would be very glad to take advantage oi the offer. | Supervisor Taylor extended the glad | hand to the visitors, and moved that they be tendered the freedom of tne City and an invitation to drive through the park and to the principal points of interest. Three weeks of suspense is before the architects who hope to receive the con- tract for supervising the construction of the new municipal building. When the matter was taken up yesterday the dead- lock which has existed ever since the bal- | loting began still existed, and though the roll was called three times Shea & Shea lacked one vote to get the prize. The re- sult each time was Shea & Snea 6, Banks 5, Mooser & Mooser 1. A motion from Supervisor Spreckels that the matter go over three weeks was carried unanimously. Later Supervisor King made a motion that the subject be left to the decision of a special committee | consisting of Supervisors Hobbs, Spreck- els, Dimoud, Morganstern, Hirsch, Taylor and Benjamin. As this would give the Shea forces a majority of one in the com- mittee the measure was not acceptable to the friends of the other architects, and it was opposed until Mayor Sutro voted it ount of order, the whole matter having been postponed three weeks. The action of the board in relation to the hog ranches leaves the matter in the | hands of the Board of Health, and unless that body decides to condemn and remove them under present existing laws they will remain as long as it pleases their own- ers. The matter came up when the report of the Health and Police Committee estab- lishing new hog limits, but_deferring put- ing them into effect for six months, was read. Supervisor Dimond ‘objected to the re- port, on the ground that it had been agreed at the last meeting of the board to allow the ranchers but three months to move. He made an amendment that the tire for putting the new limits into forece should be made ninety days from the date of the passage of the measure. The vote on the amendment resulted in a tie, King, Scully, Benjamin, Dunker, Morganstern and Wag- ner voting against ii. The same six voted in fayor of the origi- nal report, the tie vote rejecting it and leaving the matter in the same condition it was before the board ‘took it up. The ordinance declaring Van Ness aye- nue a boulevard over which no heavy trafic will be allowed, and on which no street raiiwav franchise may ever be granted, was finally passed. Supervisor Hirsch introduced a resolu- tion, that was carried, directing the clerk of the board to advertise for bids for lighting the pablic buildings for two years, beginning on May 1, 1896, according to specifications prepated by the Committee on Street Lights. The Judiciary Committee was instructed to investigate the following communica- tion: To the Honorable Board of Supervisors—GEN- TLEMEN: I have reported a dangerous sidewalk on Bernice and Thirteenth streets that was complained of over a year ago. A deputy un- der Mr. Ashworth told me that the owner had received six months’ extension to do the work of repairing, £o 1 went with another property- owner (Mr. Ryan) to the Superintendent of Streets’ office to-day, and he called a Mr. Ho- gan, who-said that "the owner had received an extension of three months more, I asked him to allow me to see the order but he refused to let me see unyxhinlg he had on file. Being a public document, I thought I should be per- mitted to see it, and do not now understand why my request was denied. Kindly investi- gate the matter. Joux RYAN, 1614 Bernice Street.

Judge Coffey Had to Strike Out His Own Evidence. Judge Coffey was a witness in his own court yesterday in the Heydenfeldt case, and he was under the painful necessity of afterward striking out all his testimony. He was called by the defense to testify as to whether or not, during the probate of the will of Mrs. Katherine Hydenfeldt, Judge Solomon Heydenfeldt had said she was his wife. Judge Coffey could not say positively, but he swore the custom of the court had always been to ask that question, and he had no doubt but that he had done 50 on that occasion. Then his Honor reascended the bench and Mr. Crittenden, plaintiff’s attorney, moved to sctrike out his testimony, on the ground-that it was not the best evidence. Judge Coffey was convinced and struck | out all he bad sworn to. The record will now be consulted. NEW TO-DAY.
