THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1896. WS BUILT N THREE WEEKS, A Steamer for Alaska Is Launched at Alameda Point. ALL RECORDS BROKEN. Shipping Men Say That the| Work Is the Quickest Known.

Attorney Morgan said yesterday that Mrs. Schutz’s storv was trae in every par- ticular. Her husband had not done any work since he left his position in the cem- etery, and had persecuted and hounded her in a most shamelful way. The surgeons at the hospital are con- vinced that Mrs, Echutz is perfectly sane. She will be taken before the?nsagxi!y Com- missioners to-day, but it is believed she will be released at once. - MRS. MARTIN'S CONDITION. She Was Unable to Appear in Court to Be Arraigned. The case of Mrs. Susan Matrtin, charged with the murder of her husband, John F. Martin, was called in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday morning. She did not ap- pear in court, but was represented by her attorney, Carroll Cook. Mr. Cook stated that Mrs. Martin was unable to leave the matron’s room in the Receiving Hospital, and at his request and owing to the fact that Detective Crockett, the arresting officer, was on his way to Denver, the arraignment of the defendant was continued tiil Friday. Mrs. Martin is undoubtedly a very sick woman, and Dr. Card, the family physi- cian, says she may suffer a complete col- lapse at any time. She refuses to talk or 10 eat any solid food and is in a very weak and exhausted condition. Attorney Cook says he is in possession of safficient evidence to establish the tact | that Mrs. Martin's attack upon her hus- band wasnot premeditated.

INVESTIGATION' TO BE MADE, Meeting of the Directors of the Man- ufacturers’ and Producers’ Association. The stockholders of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association met yesterday afternoon, M. J. Keller presiding, and among those present being J. P. Currier, A. McLaughlin, Julian Sonntag and L. R, Mead. The assembled stockholders confirmed the action of the members of the associa- tion in electing a board of directorsat their recent annual meeting. However, as the constitution requires that the directors be elected by the stockholdsrs, the election was repeated with the same result asat the annual meeting of the members. The stockholders’ meeting then ad- journed and the directors went into ses- sion. Their first act was the election of officers in the board, which resulted as fol lows: President, the Hon. Horace Davi: first vice-president, M. J. Keller; second The Alaskan Steamer Kadiack, Which Has Been Built at Alameda Point in Three Weeks. (Sketcned yesterday by a “Call” staff artist.] the reason that she was built in twenty»l‘ one days. | This steamer, capable of carrying from | 400 to 500 tons of freight, is 110 feet long, | with 22 feet beam and 8}4 feet depth of | hold. She is to be operated by engin¢s of | 350 horsepower, and her boileris 8 by 16 | feet. The cost of building was $20,000. | As soon as the machinery can be putin | place, which will require about ten days, the steamer will sail for Alaska, to be used by the Alaska Improvement Company for | the cannery business. Mr. Hay of the shipbuilding firm at Ala- meda Point_declares that never before on the Kadiack been built in so short a time. He thinks that with the exception of a | few instances in the construction of war | ve the record of the world has been ‘i broken. Seventy-five men were engaged in the | construction of the steamer, and these men were at the shipyard only twenty-one deys before the ste r was launched. | The demands of the owners of the craft made rapid work necessary, but it is main- tained that the el will be as stanch | and strong as any in the northern seas. | Mr. Hay states that the ordinary time | allowed for the building of such a steamer | would not be less than three months, | though in this instance the time was cut | king days. ly built and has only copper and galvanized fastenings. | She is to carry two masts and will be | schooner-rigged, with one square sail. A steam gypsy will be used for hoisting the | enchors. | There is nothing very graceful about the lines of the steamer, but the builders say | for use in the fisheries she wiil not be ex- | celled. Quarters for the captain, the offi- cers and the crew are all on deck, and the | cabin is 56 feet in length. Ten days is the time allowed for the fit- ting up of the steamer with machinery, 1d then the Kadiack will be ready for | the sea—an Alaskan steamer built and | e ed here in thirty-one days. Hay & Wright say that there isa great hin p-building and repairing this n, and they have many orders now and. An idea of the amoant of work being done is indicated by the assertion that $1500 a week is being paid in wages to | the workmen employed at the yard.

MAYOR SUTRO ON RINGS, He Says There Are a Number Working Against Him in This City. The Contractors for the City Hall Dom¢ Are Granted Another 8 Extension. Mayor Sutro delivered his opinion on | rings in general before the meeting of the City Hall Commissioners yesterday, but his outburst of feeling failed to raise the usual storm, and the meeting was more peaceful on the average than those that have taken place the past few weeks. A number of members of the Merchants’ Association were present to urge the adop- tion of the association’s pian for a direc- tory for the hall. Both Auditor Broderick and City ard County Attorney Creswell were opposed to taking hasty action in the matter. Both stated that they realized the importance itable directory, but they desired to wait until the various depart- ments had been located permanently so that there would be no necessity of chang- ing the corridor guides. J. Richard ¥Freud urged that the matter be settled at once and the Mayor agreed with him, but the otbher Commissioners | declared that they wanted time to look into the matter and refused to allow the ques- tion to go to a vote. Then the Mayor held his own little in- dignation meeting and said: “You see there’s a solid two against me here. 1 know of no reason why this should be de- layed, but everywhere there is a majority agaiust me. “There’s a solid four in the Board of Health and in Congress old Huntington has a majority. So yousee I'm helpless. “That old scoundrel Hunting\mn is at the bottom of it all. He has Cleveland, Conf{ress and all under his thumb. We might as well bury the stars and stripes. They may put me in_ jail, but I will tell them what a pack of bandits tney are.” No reply was made and the commission | took uv the question of allowing O’Connell i vice-president, F. W. Bowers; third vice- president, H. J. Crocker; secretary, L. R. Mead; assistant secretary, Frederick H. | Dingle; treasurer, Andrea” Sbarboro; man- ager, S. H. Tacy, besides whom were pres- ent Directors J. W. Kerr, A. McLaughlin and J. P. Currier. Proceedings opened with the reading of the following report from Manager Tacy: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 7, 1896. To the Board of Directors of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association of California—GEN- TLEMEN: One of our members who manu- factures stoves and ranges has handed me the name of a wholesale firm in this City who has recently contracted with the Northwestern Stove Foundry 1o handle thejstoves and ranges made by the latter party at the Oregon State Prison. This member claims that the stove manufac- turers of this State can meet in price and qual- ity the competition of the Eastern jmanufac- turers . who employ honest labor, but it is ut- terly impossible to compete with prison-made goods. He elaims that prison-made stoves and ranges can be sold to jobbers in this City at 2l¢ cents per pound, which is less than the actual cost to the California manufacturers, and as | there is nothing to distinguish the prison-made goods from others, the public cannot discrim- inate in their purchases. The sale of prison-made goods of various kinds in this Siate deprives & large number of | honest mechanics of employment and the ex- tremely low price at which these stoves and ranges can be sold wiil force our manufac- turers to close their shops or oblige them to | reduce wages in order to keep their works in operation. 1t is theretore necessary that this association take immediate action in the matter. As there is no law compelling the branding of prison-made goods, it is evident that the adoption of a trade-mark by this association, to be used on all_goods manufactured by our members, would be of sowme assistance to the public_desirous of patronizing home indus- tries. Respectiully submitted. S. H. TACY, Manager. The report was &ccepted and filed. The general sense of the meeting appeared to be against the importation of such goods. Stiil, as there seemed to be some siight difference of opinion regarding the matter it was referred for investigation to Messrs. Kerr, McLaughlin and Currier. The same committee was ordered to brine in a report on the advisabitity of the adoption of a trade-mark by the association. The action of the members at their an- nual meeting in selecting Messrs. Tacy and Sonntag as delegates to the Home Product Club of Bakersfield was ratified and approved. The following report, submitted by the committee appointed to draw up a consti- tution ana_by-laws for home product clubs in various sections of the interior, was read and adopted: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 7, 1896. To the Board of Directors of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association of California—GEN- TLEMEN: Your special committee appointed 10 pass upon @ constitution and by-laws for the government of “Home Product Clubs'’ beg to report that they have completed their labors and_submit herewith a copy of same, and wonld recommend that the formation of such clubs throughout the State be undertaken at CHARGED WITH INSANITY & Lewis thirty days’ extension of time to | finish the dotie.

Mrs. Hedwig Schutz of 234 D street was taken to the Receiving Hospital yesterday | morning on a warrant sworn to by her| husband charging her with insanity. Sheis a bright little woman, about 25 vears of age, and talks as sensibly as any sane person. She claims that she is being persecuted by her husband and her arrest is due to his desire to evace the responsi- bility of maintaining her and her two children. “We were married about three years ggo,” said Mrs. Schutz, “my husband being at the time superintendent of the Salem Cemetery in San Mateo County. For the past year he has refused to sup- port me and, driven to desperation, about seven months ago I applied to the trustees of the cemetery for relief. The trustees, after hearing my story, decided to with- | hold $40 2 month from my husband’s salary to be paid to me. This arrange- ment did not suit Lim and he resigned his position. “Bince then he has practically deserted me, and I have been earning enough by sewing and going out to do lanndry work to keep myself and babies alive. He some- times came to the house, but it was simply to abuse and beat me. “A few weeks ago I consulted Attorney . M. Morgan, and he advised me to file a suit for divorce on the grounds of deser- tion and failure to provide. As soon as he Jearned that I bad applied for a divorce he | roof was was discussed at length, a number of con- tractors being present to urge the latter course. Architect Shea and Auditor Broderick thought a single contract was the proper thing, as in that case the responsibility for any damage to the hLall while the new being put in could be_ easil: fixed. The matter was taken under nd’[ visement. BUNKER HILL'S MEMORY. Preliminary Meeting to Arrange for Its Perpetuation. The Bunker Hill Association held its regular meeting last evening, Wilham G. Badger presiding, The principal business of the evening was the appointment of the executive committee, as follows: William F. Muhler Jr., chairman; Hugh W. Clark, A. F. Wheaton, W. H. Homer and George W. Caswell. A communication was received from the Pacific Coast Association of the Native Bons of Vermont, F.

I’m well already. How quickiy Mitchell’s Magic Lotion acts! - L. R. MEAD, It was decided that Manager Tacy be sent, as socn as convenient, to organize home product clubs it the country towns. The” directors also decided to invite John H. McMenomy of the Butchers’ Board of Trade to address them at his con- venience. Mr. McMenomy is said to have expressed the view that the business of the retail butchers was imperiled by in- cursions of wholesalers into the retail market. In order to put a speedy ter- mination to any possible misnnderstand- ing the directors will gladly listen to any explanation of the matter which he may present. In deliberating upon the subject all the directors evinced a desire to come toan amicable and harmonious under- standing at the earliest date possible. NEW COMMITTEEMEN.

Yesterday, and Is Very Low. Editor H. C. Bunner of Puck reached his country home at Nutley, N. J., yester- day in a very low state. It will be remem- bered that he left here last Thursday, after several weeks of close confinement at the Occidental with tuberculosis. It was thought very doubtful if he could reach home, but Mrs. Bunner, as wcil as himself, was anxious for it. They set out, accompanied by W. C. Bunner of this City, his relative. Yesterday J. C. Bunner. brother of the latter gentleman, received this telegram: NUTLEY, N. J. April 7, 1896. J..C. Bunner, San Francisco: Atrived to-day. Heis very low. Will write to-morrow. W. C. BUNNER. Tt was feared that the trip over the Sierras would be very hard on the ailing journalist, but a letter written from Wyo- ming, which has just come to hand, stated that he had stood the mountain altitnde well.

BULDING 10 THE COIST The Sierra Madre Railroad to Mazatlan in Course of Construction, It Will Penetrate the Rich Mining Districts of Mexico and Bring Trade This Way. A full corps of engineers and surveyors have been put into thé field ai El Paso, beyond the frontier, and they are now heading toward the Pacific Coast. This means that the Sierra Madre trunk line, known as the Gulf, Rio Grande and Pacific Railway, intends to build a transcontinen- tal line through Northern and Central Mexico. The El Paso Telegram and Mexi- can Herald have given considerable space to the project, holding that it is destined to be an important factor in the develop- ment of rich mineral and vimber regions 1n Mexico. The new railway also has a direct sig- nificance for San Francisco, and indeed for the whole Pacific Coast. It will open a wonderfully rich and fertile country now awaiting settlement aud development, and at she same time bring that region into communication with San Francisco. Much of the business in freighting down there now passes down the eastern de- clivity of the Sierra Madres and isabsorbed by St Louis and Western and Eastern cities, the Mexican Central and Mexi- can International lines diverting the traffic from California. ~With the new proad in operation the remunerative busi- ness of the mines already in operation and industries yet to be started will be done with the Pacific Coast, io the exclu- sion of Eastern competitors. The company constructing the road has built several hundred miles of railway on the east side, with the intention of having a through trunk line from Tampico to Juarez City, just over the border from El Paso, and thence to Mazatlan, on the Pa- cific Coast. It has command of ample capital to carry on this work. Itis under- stood that graders will fall to work imme- diately behind the engineers. In commenting on the enterprise the Mexican Herald remarks: ‘Boss’” Shep- herd said in a recent interview that the building of such a road would put 50,000 American miners at work along the route inside of two vears—and the boss knows something of the resources of the Sierra Madre. These miners would have to be supplied almost wholly by California and the other Pacific Coast mineral States, and in this particular alone a close bond between Cali- fornia and Northwestern Mexico would be inevitable. The road is pltanned through the mining districts of \vestern Chibuahua and Du- rango, almost in a due southwesterly course to the Tamazula pass into the State of Sinaloa, and thence down the foothiils of the Sierra Madre to Mazatlan. The line will pass through the Mormon settlements on the Casas Grandes River. “Instead of running over the parched plains of a practically desert country, as the Mexican Central does for 800 miles after the first 100 miles from Juarez, the Sierra Madre road will be everywhere flanked by a country containing much and extremely fertile farmingland, abundantly watered, overgrown with dense forests of the finest construction timber and ribbed with the richest of metalliferons veins,” says the Mexican Herald. his is the character of the country to be traversed down to the Tamazula pass, a distance of about 800 miles. Beyond there, and on miles, the road will probably hug the foot- hills of th: Sierra Madre, baving the great mines of San Dimas and other famous dis- tricts tributary on the left and the richest agricultural and fruit lands in all Mexico on the right, with vast forests of the finest cabinet woods and dye woods, wild indigo and other mordant plants, all about it. ————————— ‘With Intent to Defraud.

THE DOCUMENT DEFECTIVE. No Charges of Specific Violations of the Law—Referred Back to the Grand Jury. The demurrer to the indictment against Thomas Ashworth,.which has been hang- ing fire before the Superior Court for so long, has been sustained, and to avoid fur- ther miscarriage of justice Judge Slack has ordered the case referred to the present Grand Jury for further investigation. The indictment was filed on January 24, 1895, It charged that Thomas Ashworth, the Superintendent of Streets, “willfully and knowingly accepted street work done on the public streets of said City and County, and has recommended the accept- ance of and has issued assessments for the same, knowing the said work not to be fully performed according to the speciffca- tions for said work.” Then followed de- scriptions of defective pavements on Laguna street, between Oak and Fell; on the crossing of Clay and Spruce; on Lyon, between Washington and Jackson; on Scott, between Green and Union; Pine, between Webster and Fillmore; and La- guna, between Sacramento and California; a sidewalk on Valencia, between Thir- teenth and Fourteenth: and a sewer on Chestnut, between Larkin and Polk. The defendant Gemurred to the accusa tions against him on the grounds that there were not sufficient facts stated and that the indictment was not direct and certain as to the particular circumstances of the offenses charged. In sustaining the demurrer Judge Slack says: The offense for the conviction of which any of the designated (district, county, township or municipal) officials may be removed irom office is_any willful or corrupt misconduct in office. The misconduct may be either willful or.corrupt. It need not fnecessarily be corrupt misconduct, or, in other words, conduct amounting to a wrongiul design to acquire or cabise some pecuniary or other advantege to the oflicer of to some other person. If not cor- rapt the misconduct must be willful; but “will- ful” in this sense means not simply a purpose or willingness to do an act which the officer should not do, or to omit todo an act which he should do, but a purpose on the part oi the oflicer to do or omit the act from bad motives, with a knowledge that it was hisduty to do or to omit it. Mere knowledge, furthermore, on the part of the offieer that requires him to do or to omit an act does not amount to willfulness if the act be omitted or done by him, for his eonduct may be wanting in wrongful purpose, or be simply negligent. The officer must be under an. official duty to do or to omit the act complained of in order to be %uflly of misconduet, aud this should be disclosed by the accusation. The accusation, if it does not charge corrupt misconduct in office. must charge wilful mis- conduct, in the sense in which that term is above interpreted. The offense constituting the misconduct, must, bestdes, be stated in ordinary and _concise language, and with directness and certainty with regard to its particular circumstances. In countsI and I, however, there is no allega- tion that the defendant Atcepted any street work; in none of the counts i it alleged that the defendant issued assessments for street work, and in none of them is there any allega- tion that the defendant did the acts with ‘which he is charged “willfully” and in counts VII and VIII he js not even charged with hav- i el A R 11 ing done the acfs ‘“knowingly.” There is, therefore, a contradiction between the general introduction to the counts and the .counts themselves and a radical defect in each count, considered apart from the inapplicable intro- duction, in the failure to charge *‘willful” misconduct. The nearest approach which the accusation makes to a charge of a violation of official duty is to be found in count VIL It is there alleged that the defendant, under “Public Contract No. 2193,” accepted as satisfactory certain cement sidewalks, though the said walks did not have tarpaper joints, as required by the specifications. For the foregoing reasons the demurrer to the accusation must be sustained and allowed ; but as the defendant may haye been guilty of willful misconduct in office with respect to the public contract mentioned in count VII,and perhiaps also with respect to the public con- tracts mentioned in counts I and II, and to avoid the possibiiity of the jndgment on de- murrer being a bar to another accusation for such offenses under section 1008, Pengl Code, as the court is. of the opinion that the objec- tions on which the demurrer herein is allowed may be avoided in & new accusation, the court will direct the case in these respects to be sub- mitted to the present Grand Jury to investi- gate whether or not the defendant has been guilty of such willful misconduct, as that term has been defined in this opinion. ALONG THE FRONT. A Fleet of Vessels Arrive, One of Which Was Quarantined. A flcet of vessels reached port yesterday. The Bass Rock arrived from Dunkirk, the Holt Hill from Liverpool, the Bradloch and Birch Broon from Newcastle, N. 8. 'W., and the Leyland Brothers from Liver- pool. The Bradloch came into port on fire and the Leyland Brothers was placed in quarantine. Shortly before leaving London a case of smallpox was discovered and then yellow fever broke out. After consulting with the Board of Health, Quarantine Officer Chalmers allowed her to dock, but insist ed that the men’s cloth- ing should be fumigated. The Oceanic Company’s steamer Aus- tralia sailed for Honolulu yesterday with the following passengers: Robert Abrams, A. F. Alvarez, Dr. L. F. Al varez, Jacob Bearwaid, Mrs. Bruce Cartwright, Rev. Dilte, Miss Margaret Fitzgerald, Charles Webb Ho t, S. Magnin, Miss Pearl Mal . Swain, B. 8. Tucker and wife, D C. Wall, William 1, Waterhouse, Mrs. W. C. Weedon, 8. W. Wilecox and W. H. Woolworth and wife. Dr. Dille is on a vacation, and expects to be away about five weeks. A large num- ber of the doctor’s congregation assembled on the wharf to see him off. The British ship Godiva was released from her imprisonment yesterday. The tugs Sea King, Hercules, Sea Witch and Liberty got hold of her, and by sheer force ulled her out of her muddy bed. The odiva is now on her homeward voyage. Haurbor Commissioners' Cole and Chad- bourne, accompanied by Chief Engineer Holmes and Architect " Swain, went to Niles yesterday to inspect the Niles stone ?uurr{ to see if it were suitable for the erry building. They will return to-day, and a decision will be reached to-morrow. SHE VISITED THE MAJOR, R. T. Hardin’s Story of Miss Lillian Ashley, Who Is Suing Baldwin. Testimony Against the Woman's Character Received From Kentucky. The deposition of R.T. Hardin of Lex- ington, Ky., has been added to the bulk of papers m the suit of Miss Lillian Ashley against E. J. Baldwin. Miss Ashley is suing Baldwin for §75,000 damages for be- trayal. The deposition of Hardin was made for the defendant. In his statement Hardin says he first met Miss Ashley in Cynthiana, Ky. She was then visiting some people known to both Hardin and herself. He met her fifst at a horse sale, his deposition says, and the acquaintance grew until she became communicative. 8he told him how she had visited California and had met a Mr. E. J. Baldwin there and how nice he had been to her and how she longed to go back again to visit hi. In the meantime something he heard from a friend in Virginia, a Major H. C. Chamblin, led him to make inquiries. He found that Miss Ashley knew Chamb- lin, had gone to visit him at his ranch in Virginia. and meeting hin on the way there she returned with him to Richmond. He saw a photograph or two and several letters, and then he taxed Miss Ashley with the acquaintance and told her she must leave his friend’s house or he would tell the storv. She leit the house. Afterward Baldwin met Hardin in Lex- ington, and to him Hardin told the story which he repeated in his deposition. Depositions are coming from Major Cuamblin. Parcel Delivery by Wire. Frank D. Prindle and W. J. Page of Grand_Rapids, Mich., have asked the Council for the right to erect poles and string wires for a parcel - carrying sys- tem to extend over the entire city. The system is much like that now used in stores. On the wires will run small cans or water-proof buckets, propelled by elec- tricity, and controlied from a central station. Parcels will be received at either the central or substations and thence dis- patched to all quarters of the city, where, at substations, they will be received by station-masters and given to boys with bicycles for further distribution to the persons to whom they ars addressed. The system is the result of seven years’ experis menting, and is covered by patents.— | Chicago Times-Herald. NEW TO-DAY.
