oo ; ¥ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1896 11 FOR SUFFRAGISTS, Eastern Organizers Were Not Needed in Alameda County. ALREADY WELL VERSED Eva Fay’s Predictions Have Had a Marked Influence on Politicians, FRICK'S JUDGE AMBITION. Veteran Calvin MacDonald’s Tribute to the Memory of Thomas Starr King. OaxLAND OrFicE Sax FrANcisco CAvr, 908 Brondway, April 5. l’ The lady suffragists from the Kast have made their campaign in Alameda County and have gone. They did not create snch a flutter as they have done in some cities, nor were they the lionesses of the hour, as they were in San Francisco. Their work left butlittle impression, because no more advanced in nature than h has already been dore in this lameda is a suffrage county. Here women are more prominent in mat- ters political, sociological, economic and philar than those of any other covnty in the State. If every county were as well informed on all the issues involved in woman suffrage as is Alameda, a State campaign would be Shaw, Miss Yates Hay bright women, but they are no brighter than dozens of others who listened to them. The women of this county are as well versed in suffrage as the men ana a guifaw that would be heard irom Siskiyou to the Mexican border would ascend to heaven if ¥ one were to suggest that a Tam- many politician could give point- ers in good government to an Ala- meda county politician. The same is true of the ladies in degree, but not in kind. If the voters of California vote in favor of frage next November the women of Alameda County are not willing for the Fastern suffragists to return to the land of a train decorated with California ers, which will be sidetracked at every tion for the ladies to have an opportu- nity of telling how “‘we”” did it all. iss tery remain longer it is best of mind of many that her s been said. The fair-haired little woman has succeeded in bewildering the politicians. Her manner of satisfying ex- Mayor Chapman’s curiosity at the Mac- donough has caused many to wonder. Mr. Chapman was told that Judge Frick would be the next Congressman and that Sam P. Hall will succeed Fr. erior Judge. It is too eari the campaign to pre- t what may spire, but as the two gentlemen named are both risking their necks to gain the prizes that are predicted jor them the words of the little woman have greatly encouraged not only them, but their wlole following. It was thought by those on the inside that the Congres- sional bee bad been transplanted into Judge Frick’s bonnet by the ‘“inside” merely to draw him off from the fight to succeed himseif and leave the way clearer for Sam P. Hall. Frick as a serious Congressional possibil- ity was not even thought of until this week. Now his chances for the Republican nomi- nation are forty per cent better than they while Hall is regarded as a certain wearer of the ermine for the next yet i ndidates attach too much ance to Miss Fay’s predictions. She le to err. Friday night a man who attended the theater walked into the police station and asked for a detective. “What for?” asked Captain Fletcher. “I lost my music box two years ago and Mij y has just told me that it is at J Franklin street. Let's go at once and get it,” said the excited man. ‘‘Guess you're a little off,” said the cap- tain. *‘The first house on Franklin is num- bered 500 and 230 would be about two biocks and a half into the estuary. If anybody at that number has your musical box rou need a diver, and our detectives don’t do business. You'd better try again.”’ e man never came back. There is more ability of Frick being a Congressman 1 of the man recovering his musical it on the same basis it is only reason- abie to suppose that the Judge will land N0 nearer to terra tirma than on the bank— in mud. Few men revere the memory of Thomas Starr King as d “alvin B. MacDonald, the editor of the Weekly Blade. The vet- eran edit arr King and worshiped him. Thirty-two years ago yesterday the founder of the great fraternity that bears his name passed from this earth. Speak- i of the memory of Starr King yester- day Mr. MacDonald said: st thirt cars to-dey, April4, since a luminous iutel al planet disappeared from our view in the d eult of eternity; since a great heart ceased 10 beat; when an eloquent tongue lost its musical cadences and a fearless soldier of the cross and an invincible cham- pion of freedom, panoplied in strong faith and Jlumed for infinite heighis, sprang from the ast promontory of time into the tremendous unknown. Strange, that while untitled by any theologi- cal pretix, Themas Starr King did not dfe then, 8s otner men expire when the bresth of life Dasgoneout; that he should have survived hardby a third of a century in the affectionate Te i housands who did not share his faith in the Oneness of the Godhead and the mere manhood of Christ. But they all believed with him in the unity of the American Dation; and in that were Unitarians, some of them, unto death. Through all this generation may some hand ed by gratitude, devotion and friend- each 4th of April morning renew memento upon his tomb, keep them from becom- stin the dearth of summer, sere in the days of autumn, or withered in the thof winter, and ever blooming 1al spring of loving memory. 5. W. EASTER FESTIVALS. The Heavy Rain Kept Many People ¥rom Seeing the Elaborate Decorations. OAKLAND, CaL., April 5.—The heavy rainsthat fell during the day interfered with the attendance at the various church services and the audiences were not nearly as large as are generaly present on Easter Sunday. The several places of worship were elab- orately decorated, the display at the various Episcopal and Catholic churches being magnificent. The First Preshy- terian organ and choir were daintily deco- rated; across the pipes was the inscrip- tion, ““The Lord is Risen,”” worked in white flowers, and before the organ was an im- mense cross made entirely of white lillies. The First Congregational, First Baptist and Unitarian churches also showed that Proposed Arc Accepted by the General Committee for the Haywards Convention of the Y. M. I, to Be Held Shortly. [Drawn by W. J. Grifin from a design by John Haar of Haywards.] a large amount of Jabor had been bestowed on the effort to celebrate Eastertide. The musical programmes surpassed any yet prepared for church music in this city. he regular choirs were augmented by professional singers in many instances. A feature of the music at the First Uni- tarian Church was the rendition for the first time in this city of the Scandinavian cantata, “The Message of Spring,” by the chorus choir of twenty-five voices. The churches having Christian Endeavor societies had a speal Easter service, at which the young people took part. CHIPMAN'S OPPOSITION, Men Charge That He Is Not Competent nor Respectful to the Rank and File. Almost a Fire From a New-Fangled Kerosene Light Plant—A Diverce. ALAMEDA, Car., April 5.—No further | steps were taken to-day in the case of Cap- | tain Chipman. A visit from the regimental | commander was expested, but not renl-i ized. The men were to have shot at the | High-street range, but the inclement | weather interfered and not much was done in that direction. The opposition to Chipman is very pronounced. There has long been dissatisfaction, but it never cul- minated in deliberate protest until the annual muster. On that occasion the men mustered in full strength as to num- bers, but their drill was lamentably weak. The captain, in putting them through the manual, made some gross errors in tactics before the regimental and inspecting of- ficers, which greatly humiliated the rank and file. Other cause for complaint is that be is given to haranguing the men, and on occasion to address them excitedly and in terms that are neither military ror complimentary. It is related that once, upon parade, when some of the men were displaying undue levity, or at least were lacking in attention, the captain anerily shouted, ‘“Attention, there! Be men;don’t be skunks!” The petition requesting Cap- tain Chipman’s reraoval reads as follows: To Colonel D. B. Commander Fifth iment, Second Brigade, National Guard of ia, Petaluma, (al—SiR: We, the u: dersigned members of Company G, ment. Second Brigade, National Guard of C: fornis, complain of Captain W. F.

We particularly specify Thursday evening, March 26, 1896, being the annual muster and inspection of said company, and on which oc- casion the said Captain W. F.

We make this complaint from no prejudice whatever, but believe it to be for the best wel- fare of our company and regiment. We beg to remain yours respectiully. There is no question about this petition being signed by a sufficient number of the men to make action upon it imperative if itis ever presented, but it is believed thesit- uation will be relieved in some way that will obviate the necessity of taking the extreme action that would necessanly fol- lowthe formal presentation of the docu- ment. TO PREVENT POKER. City Attorney Taylor of Alameda Be- gins a New Crusade. ALAMEDA, CAL., April 5.—Complaints against Joseph Emerick and Charles Powell, charging each with maintaining a gambling place, were sworn to this morn- ing by City Attorney Taylor. Emerick and Powell conduct cigar-stores and it is alleged that poker games are run in con- nection with the stores. The action by Mr. Taylor is in the capacity of a private citizen. The complainant, in a published inter- view, says that the poker-rooms are a great menace to the young men of Ala- meda, par ticularly as they lead to other {forms of gambling. He says: Sitting in my office after midnight I can look out of my window and see what is going on in Powell's upstairs rooms. Then when I go home even later and pass Zingg’s on Park street the lights are burning and the poker- rooms are patronized uutil the early hours of morn. 1f I am not successful in this prosecution I will go even further to cause the arrest of the persons who let the premises for the purpose og glm}lflinx. Iwill do my best to stamp out the evil. These back rooms are the greatest menace to Ulegoum: men of Alameda. They find there the billiard and pool table—innocent amuse- ments. From these !beg gradually go to a | game of hearts or some other innocent game of cards. But they do not stop at these, and soon | are tempted 1o play for money, and for their accommodation there’s lhetglme of poker with & cent ante and the game of piute for 10 cents & corner. In my experience for two vearsI have had eleven cases of young men who used their em- ployers’ money and when I questioned them thev acknowledged that they had lost it at cards at either one of these places. Icould tell of & man who lost $1385 at one sitting a few nights ago, and how extensively these resorts are patronized you may conciude from the circumstances that one night re- cently $85 was the percentage from ‘‘the kitty” in the establishment cohnectea wi Zlni ’s store. I will say this, that in Zin establishment small boys are not allowed to enter ever since I made a complaint on that score. ° Almost a Fire. ALAMEDA, CAL., April 5.—There came near being a bad fire in Zingg’scigarstore, 1421 Park street, last night at balf-past 8 o’clock. ‘I'be store is lighted by a series of kerosene Jamps fed by a_system of pipes from a tankin the rear. In some way the pipe in the front part of the store sprung aleak, and before anybody knew it the dripping coal oil was {lnzin . Being high up toward the ceiling it could not be read- ily reached, and the flames attained con- siderable headwax before they could be whipped out with blankets and cloths. i Before the oil could be turned off at the reservoir a great deal had run down on the floor and ignited, and as water was thrown nupon it the burning oil tioated about, add- ing to the confusion. The fire was sub- | Grand street. dued, however, before any damage was done other than to scorch a counter. The elaborate system of P?fil that conveyed oil to the burpers had been in place for years and cost $250. It was taken down at once and thrown away. Marital Woes. ALAMEDA, CaL., April 5.—E. J. Evans isa contrncling plasterer residing at 1719 Oak street, and he has caused something of a commotion in the social circles in which he moves by bringing suit for a divorce against his wife and naming co- respondents. One of these is A. Royers, a shoemaker of 1607 Park street, and an- other is a druggist of the indefinite name of John Doe. A private detective, it is claimed, supplied the information on which the suit was bronght. It isalleged that the defendant has made a practice of visiting the co-respondents’ private rooms and there indulging in hilarity and help- ing to rush the growler. The Evanses have a daughter 18 years of age. The wife and defendant abandoned her home two weeks ago. Royers declares the whole story is concocted to blackmail him, and that” he is entirely innocent. Relay Race ALAMEDA, Can, April 5. — Alameda wheelmen are a little nfzprehensive that the rains now prevailing may make the roads heavy, so that as good time will | not be possible in the relay races next | Sunday as was expected and should be made. The end of the run will be on Central avenue, 100 feet tothe eastward of The leaders are expected to show up about 1 o’'clock. The terminal point was first fixed at Morton street, but a change in the route through San Jose necessitated by an ordinance now in force against racing, made a change of three blocks to the eastward necessary to pre- serve the distance. MLAMEDK COUNTY FRUIT Currants at San Leandro Suf fered From the Recent Frost. The Activity of the Rhubarb.Growers Has Already Proved of Great Advantage. OARLAND OFFIcE SAN Francisco CALr,) 908 Broadway, April 5. | The slight frosts of last Wednesday and Thursday mornings made inroads on the | currant crops at San Leandro. What promised to be a heavy yield is now some- what problematical. Prunes, plums and apricots are expected to show some result of the frost later on. The thermometer registered as low as 33 deg. in San Leandro Wednesday morning. The apricot crop of Alameda County has been greatly overestimated. Growers re- port that very little thinning will be re- quired. C. M. Buck of San Lorenzo estimates that he lost 50,000 tomato plants on account of the frost, which is reported to have been particularly hard on vegetables. As aresult of the meeting of rhubarb- growers last week a car of rhubarb was sent East this week. The growers have held a number of meetings during the week, and the general state of the markets in the Eastern cities was inquired into thoroughly, and it was decided to ship another carload to-day. The following growers made shipments: A. B. Cary, T. H. Begier, F. H. Williams, A. Vager, J. Calhoun and S. V. Dubois. The result of this shipment is awaited with much anxiety, not only by those who shipped, but by all those interested in the pro- duction of rhubarb. The cannery of Hunt Brothers at San Leandro will be an extensive affair when the present improvements are completed. A new building was started this week to be used for the machinery, and it is also contempiated to increase the cannery building by an addition to both sides, work on which will begin next wee During the season the cannery will em- ploy over 300 people. Itis very probable that a cannery will also be built at Haywards before the fruit season opens. Overturesare being made between the citizens and some capitalists, and the prospects are very bright for a new cannery. The reports from all Gver the county are very encouraging in regard to fruit. The warm weather of the past week has developed the bloom, and at present everything looks healthy and promising. —— e FIRE NEAR DECOTO. Mrs. Holf's Roadhouse Totally De- stroyed by the Flames—A Nar- row Escape. OAKLAND, CaL., April 5—The road- side house owned by Mrs. Holf was totally destroyed early this morning by fire. Mrs. Holf and a servant lived in the house, and about 3 o'clock they were roused by the noise of burning timbers. They discovered that their rooms were full of smoke, and they had only time to partially robe before flames drove them out. The fire had made such headway be- fore it was discovered that nothing could be done to arrest its progress. Mrs. Holf and servant rushed into the road and watched everything burn, meanwhile con- gratulating themselves that they escaped with their lives. The house is situated about half-way between Haywards and Decoto. The damage is about $3000 and the origin unknown. B Ambitious Livermore Children. LIVERMORE, CAL., April 5.—The Liv- ermore Ladies’ League of Progress is in- tending to form a boys’ and girls’ league for the purpose of cultivating in the young minds a consciousness of their importance and usefulness. The first thing that will engage the attention of thefonng leaguers will be the gathering of a Livermore Val- ley exhibit of wiid flowers for the State FK:rnl Association, which holds its annual meeting in the Palace Hotel this month. The association offers a prize for the best display of native lowers. Last year Mar- tinez won the prize, and Livermore Valley is said to be far more prolific of flora than the vicinity of Martinez. ————— Down is from ‘‘dun,” signifying a fort. It at one time consisted of two counties of Down and Ards, but they were united into the present county in the reign of Efiza- beth. A large partof Down was conquered by Hugh Buidhe O'Neill, and was thence- forth_known as the District of Claneboy. The McDunleys and McGuinnesges were the chief clans, EASTER IN BERKELEY, Elaborate and Extended Pro- I grammes Rendered at the Various Churches, A New Vested Choir of Forty.Six Men and Foys Make Their Appear- ance at St. Mark’s. BERKELEY, OAL, April 5,—All of the churches in Berkeley celebrated Easter to- day with special services. The exercises of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, of the First Presbyterian and the North Berke- ley Congregational were perhaps of a more imposing nature than those of the other churches. The one thing which par- ticularly distinguished the exercises at St. Mark’s was the inauguration of the new vested choir of forty-six men and boys. The choir has been training under the direction of Rev. Mr. Swan for the past four months, and its initial appearance was welcomed with much interest by the parishioners and visitors. The singers were attired in vestments and occupied the choir loft, which had been maae especially for their accommodation. The church was beautifully decorated, especi- ally around the altar, for the occasion. At6 A. . holy communion was cele- brated by Rev. George E. Swan and at8 o’clock by Rev. Dr. McClere. The festival morning prayer, celebration of holy com- munion and sermon were conducted by the rector. At both the 11 o’clock morn- ing and at the 7:30 o’clock evening ser- vices the vested choir rendered the music. At the conclusion of the evening service the organist, Harvey Loy, rendered a pro- gramme of selected organ music. Following was the elaborate musical pro- gramme of the day: Organ prelude, first ovement, onata No. 2 1 German Chorale Dykes -Sir’ George Elvey Organ postiude, * wineenn.

OAKLAND, Car., April 5,—The Twenty- first street Free Baptist Church was most beautifully decorated yesterday in honor of the Easter festival, and the music was of a superb character. At the Easter even- ing concert the pastor, Rev. Philip Graif, delivered a brief address on ‘“The New Man.” He said in part: “The new man or the new woman is not a spick-spaw original fin de siecle phrase, but an old term, aoing good service in Paul’s idealistic theology. With him the old man is human nature in its unwashed and unregenerate aspects, creeping on all fours and lust-ridden, liv- ing for pelf and palate, while the new man is a creature who has put off the seamy robe of sin and forsaken the swine-trough levels of experience and is daily pattern- 1ng his life and habits in the image of Christlikeness. No matter what mere moralists may say of the power of self- culture, reform is but a skin-deep process if the very substance of the soul remain untrained and untransformed. Sometimes a simple scratch or pin prick will reveal the Hottentot that sleeps beneath the Sybarite suavity or the Attic polish. The new men is not tailor-made, nor molded out of a cosmos of Chesterfieldian graces, nor an 1dol of academy or mart, but a being who tries, in true guise and hol. passion, to be fashioned after the perfect Christ ideal. Unless a man is year by year growing sweeter in spirit, finer in the moral sense, braver in burden-bearing, readier and ampler for deeds of self- sacrifice, more evenly poised and more radically genuine, he is in peril of spiritual decadence. “‘Just as neither balloon sleeves or Easter dainty hat, neither bloomers or ballot-box create the new woman, but only her development into a better and more useful angci of mankind, so the new man is not constructed out of bits of veneering or draperies of gold lace, but out of a diviner life of aspiration and duty. To make temptation the stepping-stones and pedestals of triumph, to hail pangs of doult and whirls of change for the sake of more love of soul, to contend for prizes that bless others rather than win applause for one’s self, to environ secular things with an atmosphere of sacredness, to make religion as practica! as the golden rule, to freight every footstep with benedictions like the divine Nazarene—this is the mis- sion and glory of the new man. A BANKER'S TALE. Tells How Completely He Was Bunkoed by Astute Gold - Brick Men. OAKLAND, Carn., April 5—The pre- liminary examination of Andrew Root on a charge of grand larceny was continued in the Police Court Saturday. sanker Stephen Little of Dixon was one of the principal witnesses against the prisoner, and his testimony will go a good way to- ward holding Root in custody. After be- ing released by Judge Frick last week, for lack of evidence of a cqnasnucy, the prose- cution have taken particular pains to show Root’s connection with “Big-foot Dave.” Mr. Little deposited $7560 with Root and “Big-foot” Dave over a year ago, but still he refuses to swear to a complaint. However, he told his experience in the of Police Court to-day, and swears positively | D, that *‘Big-foot” Dave brought the figlod bricks down to Root’s room and that t saw the transfer of the money. At that time Root remarked as he saw the bricks: ““Those are very Yreuy bricks. If I bad money enough I would like to take one back with me to Philadelphia. ‘‘Root, who was introduced as Mr. lforton, applied to Mr. Little for the position of assayer in the mine. The banker replied that it would be time enough to hire an assayer when they got to work in the mine. After the assayer pronounced the bricks genuine the bricks were locked in Root’s room while he and Big-foot Dave drove over to San Francisco to get the $7,500. On their arrival there Little suggested that they take the borings to Shreve's and have another test. That was satisfactory to Big-foot Dave, and as the dust was pronounced as pure gold by Shereve's assayer Little paid over the money, and Big-foot Dave took him to the Six:eenth-street depot and bade him good- by. Henever saw him again until he saw him in jail. After he reached home he got the usual letter signed ‘'Brass Bricks.” He took the bricks to J. H. Rice. his cash- ier, and asked him to have them asaayed. Gustave Shulze was called in and bro- nounced them brass. TLittle then iold Mr. Rice to do away with the bricks, and has not seen them since. Antone Primeaux of Tuscarora took the stand, and told the story of his connection with the swindlers as related in THE CALL. No new facts were developed. Mr. Hof- stra was recalled, and on cross-examina- tion admitted that he had never demanded the return of his money from the prisoner. — WILL BE BROUGHT BACK, Mrs. Emma York Must Stand Trial on a Charge of Embezzlement. Got Away With Twenty-Two Thou- sand Dollars Belonging to Her Son’s Estate. Emma York, the mother of the late Fred Gibson, who is charged with embezzling | 22,500 belonging to the estate of the latter, and who was arrested yesterday at Denver, | will be brought back to this State for trial. Detective Crockett will leave this City this morning for Sacramento, carrying with | him the necessary documents on which Governor Budd will be asked to apply to the Governor of Colorado for the extradi- tion of the accused woman. John E. Richards and Messrs. Delmas & Shortridge, who are the attorneys for the widow of the late Fred Gibson, whose | or women, emissions, sleeplessness, mental wo; death in this City on March 29 last will be | recalled, were in consultation with the | heads of the Police Department yesterday | and decided on the immediate extradition of Mrs. York. The lawyers for Mrs. Gib- son set forth that this money belongs to the estate and must pass through the regular legal channel along with the bal- ance of the property. It is in fact the | principal part of the estate to which Mrs, Gibson seis up her claim. When Mrs. York, who absented herself | ! from the obsequies over the remains of her son in Sacramento, left for Fredrickton a few hours after the body of her offspring was borne to the grave, Richards and Del- mas & Shortridge were soon apprised of the fact, and at once instituted a search for her with the result of her apprehension at Denver. She got possession of the money during her son’s late illness in San Francisco. This money she turned over to another son, James A. Gibson, who took itto Sacramento. He was arrested for grand larceny. but on showing a receiEt for the $22,500 from his mother the charge against him was dropped ana the trail of Mrs. York, who bought a ticket from the railroad agent under the name of Emma Brewer, was at once taken up. The complaint charging Mrs. York with the embezzlement of the money was sworn to by Mrs. Della A. Gibson, her daughter- in-law. It is not lhongh! that there will be any unnecessary delay caused in the extradition of the woman. ————— The Japanese are a go-ahead people in almost everything but railway speed.
