THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1896. SN PEDRD IS THEIR CHOICE. Los Angeles Labor Unions Join the Opposition to Huntington. AGAINST SANTA MONICA ‘White and McLachlan Urged | to Defeat the Southern Pacific Scheme. FARMERS' ALLIANCE IN LINE, Adds Its Voice to the Protest Against a Monopoly of Harbor Privileges. ¥ LOS ANGELES, CaAL., April 5.—A new element was interjected into the harbor | fight to-day on the side of San Pedro. The labor unions of the city, throush | their officers, have wheeled into line with | the free harborites. The officers of eigh- teen of the organizations affiliated with the Los Angeles County Council of Labor to-day ned telegram addressed to enator White and Representative Mec- ng them to work for an ap- »r San Pedro and antagonize prop : Collis P. Huntington’s scheme to induce the Government to build a harbor for him at Santa Monica. It is said the officers of the remaining four unions will to-morrow sign the petition, which has already been | telegraphed to Washington. Thus far the icers of the Musicians’ Union are the v ones who have refused to sign. The officers of the various unions believe their action will be indorsed by the mem- bership. At least they were willing to run the risk of obtaining such ratification as soon as the members can be called to- gether. J Barbee, State secretary of the Farmers’ Alliance, in singing the doc- ument claimed o represent a membership 6000 voters in this county. The tele- gram which the labor leaders signed was o M.

STOCKTONPOLITICAL AOW Stormy Session of the Central Committee of San Joaquin County. rs’ 10n An Attempt to Oust Members of the American Protective Associa- tion Fails. STOCKTON, CaL., April5.—A “‘red-hot” neeting of the County Central Cormuittee Republican party was held this on in the office of Otis Perrin in which an effort was made by the Simon- pure Republicans to oust those members of the committee who were connected with the recent A. P, A. movement that went under the name of Non-Partisan. After the delegates had been seated and several vacancies filled the first bomb was thrown emong the delegates by J. H. Collins, who introduced the 10 ngresolution: This is the Republican County © of the county of San Joaquin, State fornie, and shouid be composed of mem- the Republican party only; therefore, be it Resoived, That it 1s the order of the Re- ican County Committee of San Joaquin 1y, State of California, that no person or persons thatare members of any other political -, which orgenization, association or party has enunciated and adopted a declaration of principles or platiorm, shall be allowed to re- main as a member of this committee, and their scals in this committee are hereby declared VACAD uch vacancy to take effect at once. Collins moved the adoption of the reso- | lution and the motion was promptly seconded by Charles Gall. As soon as the question was put by Chsirman Perrin, Mayor Baggs was on his feet. “Mr. Chair- man,” said he, his wrath rising, “tiere is only one intent in bringing this resolution before this meeting. I contend that its adoption will bring harm to the Republi- can party of this county. Any man can see what is aimed at by this resolution. 1 am opposed to 1o member of this com- mittee, but I am opposed to the spirit of this resolution. Itisaimed atme, and I claim that I am as good a Republican and bLave done more for the Republican party of this city, county and State than the gentlemen who introduced the resolution. Here Mayor Bagys recited what he had done during the campaign that resulted in the election of James Louttit to Corgress and cther work he had done for the party. He warned those present that the adop- tion of the resolution would cause a split in the party. Continuing, he said: “Occupyi and I am proud of it—I can do more good for the Republican party as such a mem- ber than I'can out of that organization.” _“I wish to state in behalf of my Tesolu- tion,” said Collins, who secured the floor after Baggs had finished, ““that there is a man among the members of this commit- tee who stated on the platform at a con- vention held in this city thag the Republi- un'fiany has 1o strings on him.” When the resolution came to a vote, it was downed by twenty-one votes to six. It was evident beforehand that the followers of Mayor Baggs woula triumph. The question was then put to the committee whether to hold a primary election and a county convention or to leave the selec- tion of delegates to the State Convention to the county committee. It was decided to hold primary election, and the 21st inst. was fixed as the time for holding the primaries, and the 25th inst. as the date for holding the county convention. Rt S OREGON CONVENTIONS. Bitter Fight to Be Maae Against Senator Mitchell. PORTLAND, Orgcox, April 5.—The Re- publican and Democratic State conven- tions are to be held here on the same day—Thursday, April 9—and political ex- citement is intense, because all county, district and State conventions are com- ing =o closely together. At Albany on Tuesday the First Congressional District Republican convention will convene. Much interest is_felt in its outcome, us the 122 delegates will nominate a candidate for Congress in the First District. To- morrow the city and county Democratic convention will be held, as will also the convention of the bolting faction of the Republicans. Thurscay’s convention will select a Benatorial candidate. The pre- liminary canvassof delegates fails to dis- close the strength of the opposition to Senator Mitchell. His friends consider his chances good, but it will bea bitter | tight. —_—— MENDOCINO’S DELEGATES. Republican Central Committee Decides Against Open Primaries. UKIAH, CaL., April 5.—The Republican County Central Committee has decided that delegates to the State Convention at Sacramento on May 5 be appointed by the committee and no primaries held. The following were appointed as delegates: T. L. Carothers, John McWhinney, Fred C. Handy, E. F. Decamp, J. C. Ford, W. P. McFaul, A. M. Duncan, Lafayette Vandu- sen, George A. Sturtevant. As soon asthe date of the State Convention for the selec- tion of Presidential electors is fixed the call for a county convention to nominate county officers will be issued. While the aeiegation goes unpledged McKinley 1s its choice for President, with Allison a close second, and all are in favor of the free coin- age of silver. [, Open Primaries in Fresno. FRESNO, Car., April 5.—The country Democracy had an inning yesterday, and a gathering that was intended to be honored by the presenceof the County Central Committee only was transformed into a8 mass-meeting. Open primaries scored a yictory. Under the provisions of a resolution passed the Democrats of each precinct can choose representatives to the county convention in such manner as they may deem fit, holding either precinct cau- cuses or primary elections. It isprobable, however, that the County Central Com- mittee will suggest some definite plan of action. g s Yolo County Convention. WOODLAND, CaL., April 5.—The mem- bers of the Republican County Central Committee met yesterday and the nec- 3sary arrangements were completed for holding a convention to elect delegates to the State Convention. Of the seventy-five delegates to meet Woodland’s apportion- ment is twenty-five. The primaries for the election of delegates to the County Convention will be held April 11, and the County Convention will be held in Wooa- land on April 18. e Nevada County Primaries. NEVADA, CAL., April 5—The Republi- can County Central Committee has decided to call a primary election to be held throughout the county on Saturday, April 18, to elect delegates to the State Conven- tion. Arthur L. Fisher of Grass Valley was elected secretary of the committee, vice J. J. Terrill, resigned. TULARE OFFICERS WARNED Trains Guarded to Prevent a Hold-Up by the Dalton Outlaws. Authorities Notified That a Robbery of the Overland Is About to Be Undertaken. VISALIA, CaAL., April 5.—Some five or six weeks ago the Southern Pacific Rail- road detectives and the Sheriffs of the San Joaquin Valley were notified that an at- tempt would be made on the night of March 2, by members of the Dalton gang, to rob the Southern Pacific train. The hold-up was to take place near the Kings- | burg bridge, on Kings River, in Tulare County. There the brush and timber are very heavy,and offer a good opportunity for escape. On that night, however, there was a very heavy wind and rainstorm, and the hold-up was not attempted. The at- tempt by McCall to rob the train near Goshen, which resulted in_hisdeath and thelarrest of six suspects, interfered with the plan once more, Letters received in Visalia last week stated that an attempt would be made shortly to rob the train near Poso, Kern County. When the northbound trair pulled into Goshen at 1:28 o’clock this morning Sheriff Merritt and Detectives Meade and Brighton were on board. This gave some color to the report; but it was claimed by the officers that Meade was on his way to Fresno to visit his family; Cap- tain Merritt was returning from a visit to Bakersfield, whither he had been on busi- ness, and Brighton had boarded the train at Tulare. The agents along the line were quite un- easy, however. Trains 19 and 20 pass at Traver, but both were on time. The con- ductors had orders to report at once upon arrival at Traver if the other train was not on time. S e SANTA CRUZ NAVAL RESERVES. Inittal Cruise of the Season Made in a Heavy Sea. SANTA CRUZ, CaL, April 5.—The naval reserve to-day, despite the steady rain and a rough sea, made its initial cruise of the season. There were fourteen men in the crew, under command of Lieu- tenant Morey, and all were pleased with the success of the venture. It was neces- sary to put the men aooard the cutter by the use of two small boats, owing to the heavy beating of the surf. Both going out and coming in the boys ran consider- able risk, but they were all expert oars- men and landed with no ill results, except A case or two of seasickness. The cruise in the big boat was in no wise dangerous nor unpleasant. It isa 12-oar boat and measures 32 feet over all ana 7 feet 6 inch beam. It is easily controlled and affords an excellent opportunity for the reserves to show their commander what they can do. o e L ARJZONA FORGERIES. Governor Hughes Claims That His Name Was Used by Others. TUCSON, Ar1z., April 5—It is agreed that Governor Hughes’ removal was trought about by several telegrams shown to President Cleveland, urging members of Congress to pass the Arizona school land lease bill over the President’s veto. These telegrams were over the signature of the Governor. He arrived in Tucson to-day, and, speaking of the matter, said thatthe telegrams were forgeries. He had never communicated with any Congress- men or other person on the subject of the land lease bill, AT THE MARE ISLAND YARD. Work on Steam Launches for Two of the New Gunboats. MORE MEN DISCHARGED. Engineering Department Force Reduced for Lack of Funds. ENLISTMENTS FOR THE OREGON The Battle-Ship’s Crew to Be Secured Next Week—Pay-Day Scenes at the Station. VALLEJO, CaL, April 5—Two fine steam launches are under course of con- struction in the boatshop at Mare Island for the two gunboats to be built at the Union Iron Works. By a recent order of the Secretary of the Navy all boats for vessels hereafter to be built are to be made at the various yards belonging to the Gov- ernment, it having been demonstrated that ‘when so constructed they are superior in workmanship. Next week the enlistment of men for the | battle-ship Oregon will commence on the receiving-ship. All men now in the ser- vice with less than three months to serve will receive tneir discharge, to enable those so desiring to reship, that they may have a full three years’ cruise aboard the Oregon. It is expected that the monitor Monad- nock will be back at San Francizco on Monday, and possibly it may return to the yard for a short time. Eighteen men have been discharged from the steam engineering department for lack of work and money. The last pay- day showed a decrease of $10,000 or $12,000 from the month previous, there being but about $25,000 disbursed. Many of the men laid off were evidently out-of-town me chanics, judging from the fact that imme- diately after pay-day the exvress company shipped $600 or $800 in small amounts to various families. Heretofore all clerksand appointees have received their usual sti- pend on the last day of the month. This order has been changed, and now they are to be paid twice a month—on the 1st and 15th. The workmen receive their money the 10th and 25th of the month. This keeps the pay department officers busy. After the money is received in the pay office the sacks are emptied of their con- tents and the coin counted and tested by the paymaster, his clerks and those under them. Either one of these men is 80 ex- pertin his duties that the first touch is sufficient to test the genuineness of the money. The coin is then placed in en- velopes—so much for each man—and marked with the department, amount and number of the man, corresponding with that on the payroll. The money is de- posited in one or the other of the two great safes in the vaymaster's office, and at night extra guards are placed on duty, one of whom every quarter or half hour dur- ing the night rings the telephone bell con- necting with the guardhouse at the gate, and reports “All's well.” Should it occur that the bell fails to ring, the sergeant or corporal of the guard visits the building in which the money is kept to ascertain the cause. ‘When payday comes, usnally a day or two after the money’s arrival at the yard, typewritten notices are sent to the vari- ous departments giving the rotation in which they are to be paid. At the noon hour the men are all on hand and take their places in line, as nearly as possible in accordance with their number on the roll, and as one of the clerks call out the num- ber Pay Clerk Bollard passes out the en- velope containing the amount due the man. Inless than twenty minutes more than $30,000 has been paid out for the half- month’s work, in sums ranging from $2 16 to $150, The officers receive their pay the last day of the month, and with but one exception—the commandant—all go to the pay office, receive the amount due them and sign the receipt-book. The Bennington is lying at the wharf in commission, together with the Baltimore, out of commission. But little is being done on them for want of funds. It is hoped the contingent aporopriation made in the House will not be hung up in the Senate; otherwise necessary work will be retarded. Under tLe direction of Mesdames Howi- son and Skelding, wives of the comand- ant and paymaster, respectively, prepara- tions are being made for a flower show or festival at the yard Thursday afternoon. Carriages will e festooned with Flora’s choicest offerings from the beautifu!l gardens surrouuding the quarters. In the evening the first of a series of hops will be given in the sail loft, which will be beauti- fully decorated with flowers. —_— REPUBLICANS AT OGDEN, Indorsement of Senator Cannon’s Course in Blocking Tariff Legislation. His Colleague Sarcastically Rebuked for Forsaking the Silver Forces. OGDEN, UraH, April 5—The Ogden city and Weber County Republicans met in convention vesterday to elect delegates to the State convention, This being the home of Senator Cannon, who was one of the five silver Senators who blocked tariff legislation recently, and also the home of a large number of the friends of Senator Brown, who deserted the silver forces, a fight on resolutions was precipitated. The Brown contingent wanted no resolutions, and the Uannon men wanted an indorse- ment. There was no expression as to the Presidential question, and the following resolutions were reported after a fierce fight in the committee-room and unani- mously adopted by the convention: Resolved, That we reafiirm our allegiance to the great cardinal principles of the Republi. can party, just and adequate protection to American industries, free coinage of silver at aratio of 16 0 1, and reciprocity; that in our judgment free silver should be made the key- stone of the arch. ZEesolved, That we indorse the action of Sena- | tor Frank J. Cannon and his four associates in the action in refusing to vote for a protective measure unless coupled with free coinage of silver. WHEREAS, The goldite press of the East has made the assertion that the said Senators were not supported by the people of their respective States; now, therefore, we, the Republicans of Ogden and Weber County, in convention assem- odled, ask that Senator Cannon be made the leader of the Republican delegation in St. Louis to reaffirm our indorsement of his wction; provided, however, that nothing here- 1in be construed as impuguning the smotives of Senator Brown in voting for the consideration of the Dingley tariff bill. The Cannon people consider the latter proviso as a piece of neat sarcasm. e DROPS DEAD AT HOLLISTER. Sudden Passing of A. P. Boyd of San Francisco. HOLLISTER, CAL., April 5.—A. P. Boyd, formerly of this place, but late of San Francisco, dropped dead this evening in the dining-room of the McMahon Hotel. Mr. Boyd was well-to-do, having accumu- lated considembleflpropvrty here in the lumber business. He was here on a visit, looking after his property in this county, which consists of real estate and mort- ages to the amount of nearly $100,000. 8= Boya removed to San Francisco with his wife and daughter two years ago. He was a prominent citizen and a pioneer of this county. He was 71 years of age. — e SAIL FROM SEAYTTLE. Two Hundred and Thirty-Five Men Start for Alaska. SEATTLE, WasH., April The steam schooner Lakme sailed for Six-mile Creek, on Cooks Inlet, Alaska, this morning, hav- ing 235 passengers and a large cargo of freight. The passenger fares alone amounted to $11,750. Just before the hour of departure about twenty men came ashore, refusing to make the trip owing to the crowded condition of the vessel, and their fares were accordingly refunded. Of those who got away four were young men who had given up 2ood positions at Grand Rapids, Mich., to try their fortunes in the auriferous fields of the Cooks Inlet region. The steamer Utopia, which got away yesterday for Alaska, had 125 passengers. SHNTA CLARK FRUT CAOP Prospects for an Immense Yield in the Orchards of the ‘Valley. Asparagus Being Prepared in the New Cannery Erected at Miipitas. SAN JOSE, CALn.,, April 5—There are prospects for an immense fruit crop throughout Santa Clara Valley this sea- son. There are more prunes on the trees than ever before, and unless heavy frosts come soon, which is not probable, the crop will be immense. Tke buds have set well, and it is estimated that the crop this season will be 30 per cent larger than last year. Apricots and peaches are coming along finely. Apricots are now being thinued, and with the exception of moorparks will be a good crop. Cherries are well ad- vanced and should be on the market by the last of April. The cannery recentl. pitas by the Oakland f‘ackinz Company was started up last week. At present as- paragus is being canned, after which will come green peas. The factory will make a specialty of canning vegetables. It em- vloys thirty-five girls. erected at Mil- B Wanted in Stockton Also. SAN JOSE, CaL., April 5.—John Jones, who was arrested here vesterday on a charge of securing $30 from P. B. Wash- burn of Livermore under false pretenses, was taken to that place this afternoon by Constable Fitzgerald. It is said that Jones is wanted in Stockton for embez- zlement. = g o Deserted Fifteen Years Ago. SAN JOSE, CaL.,, April 5.—Christine Burmester, after being deserted fifteen years, has begun suit for divorce from E. H. Burmester. They were married in Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1879. Two years later the husband fled with another woman, and has failed fo return or contribute to the support of his wife since that time. He is now supposed to be in New York. ‘There are no children ana no community property to wrangle over. STONY CREEK ADVENTURE Narrow Escape of a Child and Its Parents From Death in the Current. The Despairing Father Sees the Little One’s Hand Near the Surface and Effects a Rescue. CHICO, CAn., April 5—S. B. Stawn, wife and child, living near Orland, Glenn County, attempted to ford Stony Creek yesterday. They missed the ford and got into deep water. In attempting to turn back the spring wagon was overturned and Mr. and Mrs. Stawn and the infant child were soon struggling for their lives in the swift current of the creek. ‘When they had been carried about fifty vards down the stream Stawn succeeded in getting his wife to land. Then he turned to rescue the child, and was horri- fied to find that it had disappeared. For- tunately Stawn chanced to glance at the current a few feet from him just as the child’s hand was thrown into sight by the action of the water. The little hand was in sight but an in- stant, but it was long enough for the father to make a dive for it and catch it. Stawn says it was an interposition of Providence in the little one’s behalf that his eyes should have chanced to linger on that “spot just as the cnild’s hand was thrown near the surface. The strangest incident of the whole affair was that the child was not even strangied by the water, and after one or two shakes to make it cartch its breath it acted as though nothing unusual had occurred. It had been in the water four minutes, and during consider- able of that time was beneatn the surface. i e, F¥RESNO RIGHTS OF WAY. Valley Road Progress Barred by but One Landowner. FRESNO, CaL., April 5.—The local Val- ley Railroad committee announced the conclusion of what has proved to be a very troublesome right-of-way case. A strip of land on Danube street, in Shank- lin’s addition, is owned by a resident of Buffalo, N. Y. The atiorneys for the owner have been asking $2000 for a right of way through the land, but yesterday they wired to Dr. Pedlar, chairman of the committee, their acceptance of an offer of $750. This completes the right of way from this city to the San Joaquin River, except across & tract of land owned by Martin Matison, and a conaemnation suit will be begun against Matison to-morrow. ————— FPisalia’s Representatives Named.

TRAILED BY REDSKINS. Bloodhounds Sent For to Assist in the Pursuit of a Tramp. STABBED A DEPOT POLICEMAN. The Wounded Man Cannot Recover +and His Friends Will Mete Stern Justice. POCATELLO, Iparo, April 5.—James B. Scanlon, a Union Pacific depot police- man, was deliberately stabbed at 2:40 o’clock this morning by a tramp and is now believed to be dying. During the day he'revived enough to make a statement to Dr. Steely, his physician, There were no witnesses to the cold-blooded affair. Scanlon said that he had vainly endeav- ored to quiet the vagrant and finally started with him to the platform. The tramp tried to attack Scanlon and the offi- cer struck him on the head with a pistol and ordered him to leave. The fellow started but vowed vengeance, and in a few moments he returned. Before the police- man was aware of his intentions he sprang upon Scanlon like a wild animal and plunged a large knife straight into his left side to a depth of about five inches. The tramp then fled. Scanlon staggered to a ‘waiting room, where medical aid was sum- moned. At daylight posses were organized and started in every direction. They includea Indian police, who can follow a man’s trail over barren ground. Bloodhounds have been sent for from Cheyenne, Wyo., and tnere is no_doubt that the assailant will be captured. When caught, speedy vengeance will be meted. To-night the house where Scanlon lies is surrounded by friends, eagerly waiting for news of his condition. Dr. G. W. Perkins of Ogden was brought to the city on a special train, and performed an operation, removing the spleen which was nearly severed by the tramp’s knife. ~Provisions have been sent to diiferent places for those who are on the hunt. Several private rewards have been offered. NO FRACAS. Two Actors Beat a Tamale Man and Are Lodged in Jail. SAN BERNARDINO, Carn., April 5.— Two theatrical men came to grief last night and changed their place of lodging from a hotel to the city jail. They are H. C. Henderson, leading man in the Rose Stillman company, which has been here for a week, and E. J. Blunthall. Since being in the city Henderson has been un- able to appear on the stage, having spent most of his time at the Opera bar. Last evening the two actors beat a tamale man out of his wares and thrashed him besides, and, on demand, refused to make the damage good. A warrant was sworn out and, being unable to give bail, they had to go to jail. Their case comes up Monday. Portland Damage Case Decided. PORTLAND, Or., April 5.—The trial of the case of Frederick C. Mossman against his brother-in-law, Charles O. Hill, the well-known steamboat man, for $25,000 damages, was concluded yesterday by the jury bringing in a verdict for $1500.

EUREKA, Can, April 5—The mail stage between Ferndale and Petrolia was wreckea on Cooks Grade yesterday. The driver, William Peters, and one horse were found dead.
