o e THE - SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 5, 1896. ANCIENT DRDER WORKMEN Nineteenth Annual Meeting of the Grand Lodge of ! California. DEGREE OFHONOR GRAND LODGE The Representatives to Both Bodies. Important Matters That Are | to Be Discussed. The nineteenth annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of the Ancient Order United Workmen of ifornia will be held in | B’nai B'rith Hall, commencing on Tues- day morning : This will be an unusually interesting and important session to the members, as 1t will discuss & great many matters that | are of vital interest to the members of the various lodges. Two hundred and twenty- three lodges will be represented at the meeting. William Vinter, thre present grand fore- | man, will succeed D. J. Toohy, the ! present grand master workman. | The grand master workman has ap- pointed as committee on distribution: G. | H. Garthorne of Occidental Lodge, T. A. Farless of Fidelity Lodge aund Gus Pohl- | man of Burns Lodge; committee on cre- | dentials—William Tuggey of Unity Lodge. ‘ Frederick B. Winter of Mount Hamilton | Lodge and S. Hoffman of .\lemunal‘ Lodge. mong the matters to be brought up for ssion will be ome to provide for county instead of lodge representation as at present, the subordinate lodges to send | one delegate to the Grand Lodge for each 100 members. An effort will be made to have the offices of guide. inside and out- side watchman, made appointive instead of elective. | The Grand Lodge will be informed of the | work performed by the beneficial commis- | sion that held 1ts meeting last month in the office of the supreme recorder in Meadeville, Pa., and of which commission | David 8. Hirshberg, the grand recorder of the California Grand Lodge, was an active member. The scope of inquiry of this commission was very broad and embraced almost everything that is known in fraternal organizations. At the meeting papers were prepared by the different members on subjects assigned them for special study at the meeting in Chicago in June last. These papers covered the subjects of classified assessments, emergency fund, the reliet law (including level maximums), the age limit (inclnding both minimum and maximum). classified beneficiary certificates, admission of females and statistics. All of these sub- were exhaustively discussed in the Impers. In dition to these < the commission had collected a mass of valuable matter relative to the experience of other societies, including the friendly societi It ies of Great Britain. had also compilations of the statistics of ten jurisdictions of the order, showing their admission, mortality and lapse ex- perience from the beginning of the order to the close of the year 1894, After digesting and arranging this great fund of information as fully as the com- mission felt able to do it and putting it | into form for professional consideration, the commission decided to refer it to com- petent actuaries for further advice, and submitted inquiries which, when pro- | fessionally answered, will enable the com- mission 1o present to the Supreme Lodge | in June, 1896, a most thorough review of the situation from the standpoint of both experience and theory, which will enable that body to determine if any defects | exist in the system of Workmanship, if so, | what they are and also the remedy. | Che following is a list of the grand offi- | d of the representatives from the | »ordinate lodges: | Past grand master workman, J.

THIRTEEN THEATER PARTIES.

A Laundryman’s Failure to Pay Rent Causes a Small Riot. Several dozen residents of the vicinity of Stockion and Vallejo streets are mourning the loss of the family washing, and about | as many more are congratulating them- selves on having secured a fine assorted lot of linen for nothing. Up to yesterday afternoon Wah Kee oc- cupied the building at 1416 Stockton street as a launary, but latterly failed to pay rent. So Deputy Sheriff Radford and a couple of assistants appeared_at the hundr.v’i:es- terday.and ordered Kee to vacate. This order wasobeyed instanter. The orders ‘had been to clear the house of everything not belonging to the estate, and the deputies had no alternative but to put the numerous bundles of wash left by the laundryman on the sidewalk. The news of the eviction had spread through the neighborhood, and a big crowd of men, women and children were on the sidewalk when the first bundle was tossed out. A dozen eager hands seized it almost before it touched the pavement, and in an instant the crowd had closed in and an exciting struggle over socks, shirts and underwear took place. Hardly a shred of the washing went to the rightful owners. Wah Kee 1is safe in the mazes of Chinatown. i .. The Superphysical Man, A lecture will be delivered by J. J.

An 0Old Indictment Againsti Charles Montgomery | Dismissed. | Remarks of District Attorney Barnes and Judge Bahrs in Open Court. iiiriri’iiiiiii‘i"% In Judge Bahrs court yesterday, on motion of District Attorney Barnes, the indictment against Charles Montgomery was dismissed. This indictment was pro- cured twenty-two months ago through the Grand Jury of which Sidney M. Smith was foreman, and all efforts of the defend- | ant to obtain a trial of the case have since | been unavailing. | In moving yesterday for the dismissal of | the indictment District Attorrey Barnes spoke of the high character, the integrity, | public spirit and benevolence of Charles | Montgomery. It was the judgment of the District Attorney that the indictment | should not have been found, and he there- fore movea for its dismissal in the interest | of justice and for the vindication of the | accused. Judge Bahrs in granting the motion of the District Attorney dwelt upon the in- justice which Mr. Montgomery had suf- fered. The court regretted that the vindi- cation could not be made more ample and complete. In an interview yesterday Mr. Mont- gomery said to a CALL reporter: *This indictment was found twenty-two months 820 by the Grand Jury of which Sidney Smith was foreman. At that time I was one of the directors of the People’s Home Savings Bank, having been chosen for that position a short time before the receiver was appointed. I went on the board at the request of 200 depositors to protect their interests. In my official capacity I voted to return the Swanberg securities, and did so on the advice of my | attorneys, Delmas & Shortridge, and Dr. Taylor. For this action four of the di- rectors, myself among the number, were indicted. Thesecurities returned belonged to Swanberg and not to the bank. My career in San Francisco as a business man was _well known to the jury,’”’ continued Mr. Montgomery, “and it was known also that my ciarncter asaman and a Chris- tian was without a stain, yet some influ- ence was exertea to cause the jury to in- dict me. I have waited a long time for a vindication and now it has been made by the District Attorney and the Judge in open court.” 4 Readers may call to mind that the in- dictment against Mr. Montgomery was found at the time certain men, ambitious to gain control of the bank, were going ahead regardless of consequences to gain their ends. Then it was quite an eu{ matter to influence the public against all who baa been connected with the bank under McDonald, and so Mr. Montgomery, ‘whose innocence xdwrnng-domg has been clearly establishéd, was accused along with the guilty in order to help the cause of the schemers, PEPRPPRRP PR PP PR R R PP RRPRRRRRRR R Endeavorers’ Easter.
