THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TH-‘URSbAY, APRIL 9, 1896. SOME HUMOR IN A DRY $POT, Proceedings in the Rail- road Case Enlivened With Wit. MR. DEPEW MENTIONED. His Prediction That Clouds of Depression Would Roll Away. TWO0 WEEKS MORE OF TALKING Mr. Pil'sbury Contends That the Rail. road Company Loves a Deficiency. There must be hope for the most hard- ened sinner when real wit figures in the course of an argument so dry as is that now being made before Judge McKenna in the United States Circuit Court. Mr. Pillsbury’s very able and very dry argument in the Railroad Commissioner case w: asised with something like hu- mor yesterday when the name of Chaun- cey Depew was mentioned incidentally by Mr. Pillsbury. It might not have been wit and gumor after all, but in contrast with an argument abounding in figures and most didactically phrased, it was as re- freshing by contrastas a cold water shower- bath in the Plutonian regions. Mr. Pillsbu did not finish his argu- ment yester but promised that he wouid do so by noon to-day. This after- noon Mr. Hayne will reply on behalf of the people and will consume two or three days. Then Mr. Garber will foliow for two s more and District Attorney se in two or turee days after more than ordinary its subject-matter he searching nature of the . Al he d in the discus- shall have been it form an inval- the powers of cornora- ions, no matter what of the court may be. rnoon Mr. Pillsbury turned improvements and . Attorney-General id, had argued that the §609.000 expended for improvements and | ments should be added to the net of the road instead of being hareed to expenses. The speaker argued that the items for the expenditure of $609,000 were given in 1l in the report. They were fencing, ges, railroad-shops, depots, etc., items h, he asserted, came properly under 1 of annual expenditures. Judge Hayne interrupted. the several times this subject, and Mr. P hury f irritability re- | € was surprised that Mr. Hayn I | speaker es ¥, “1 shall not ask any 15 replied Mr. Pillsbury, bow- “that T shall not shed tter.”’ Here Judge McKenna took a hand and suggested that Mr. Pillsbury should with- araw the epithet “foolish” "and thav Mr. Hayne should reconsider his resolution not to ask any more questions, because the court would have asked the very same questions put by Mr. Hayne. He desired to_have the items identified. Mr. Pillsbury expressed his willingness to tcm»pz the suggestions of the court and 0 be; discuss the question as to which items of expenditure were properly chargeable against the gross earnings in order to ar- rive at the net earnings. Some roads charge to the expenditures whatever was taken from the earnings and not raised by issues of stock. Some take annually from the gross earnings that which goes to make the roads better than they were be- fore. He would not argue, he said, that a bridge across the straits of Carquinez cost- ing $10,000,000 should be charged to the annual enditure, because that was an extra v outlay for an extraordinary purpose and could not be made without en issue of bonds or the raising of money. The case of the United States against Kansas Railroad was cited to show tanew depot and site and the replac- of rails, roadbed and rolling stock, if d for oui of the earnings, should be de- ‘ted from the gross earnings, in order to tain the net earnings. Many other were quoted to the same effect. It ‘I'm sure, ing to the court, any tears over the cas: had been decided also that it were better th it the surplus should be expended in Yy improvements, etc., and that the expenditures should be deducted from the gross earnings. Mr. Pillsbury alleged that these decis- ioms overthrew completely the arguments of the Attorney-General. The case of a truckman was cited who found that he had made so much net surplus at the end of the year who had to buy a horse to re- place one tanat died and who, refusing to touch his gross earnings, had borrowed the money on a chattel mortgage instead of deducting the amount from his gross earn- ings. It would not be long, he said, be- fore that truckman would be thrown into bankruptey. The speaker showed the increased weight g the use of ice and other dead in the equipment of the railroad ompany during the last few years, and ex- | plained that with the increase of the weight it had become necessary to improve the roadbed. ¢ The speaker went on 10 show that there was anet deficit of $146,520 23 in 1894 on the Pacific system exclusive of several hundred thousand dollars expended in the | syment of back taxes, “'I suppose, “he lded, “thatthe Attorney-General will not : stion the propriety of paying those DACK ta. o iy r,” replied the Attorney-General, 'k they ought to have been paid many vears before.” he e which followed this retort was Dot joined in by Messrs. Pillsbury, Herrin, Martin and Garber. They evidently failed to d ver any writ in the remark. Mr. Pillsbury waded through a mass of figures and adaed and subtracted until he got the result desired by himself and his coileagues, to the effect that the railroad was losing money, was growing fat in bankruptey and was rather happy over it. The Attorney-General’s contention that 1894 was an average business year in the railroad business was then taken up. This vas denied by the railroad’s attorneys, who explained simply that it afforded a fair basis for estimating the business of 1895. In 1804 an unusual depression in business occurred, and the depression con- tinued until the present time. Attorney-General Fitzgerald interrupted by saying'that Mr. Huntington’s afidavit admitted that the business in January, February and March was better than it was in the corresponding months of 1893, n denovo. He then proceeded to | | action among traffickers. | auction-houses consolidated this state of very hopeful peopie like Chauncey De- pew had predici®l that these clouds would roll away and prosperity would dawn again aiter the election and inauguration of a Republican President. ¢ The Attorney-General remarked drily that Mr. Huntington agreed with Mr. De- pew in that statement. : “ Mr. Pillsbury seemed to be smitten with horror at the sacrilege, and avoiding the subject pointed out that there were no in- dications that there wou!d be any com- pensatory increase in business to make up for the horizontal reduction of 25 per cent. In fact, the results of the business of 1895 would be more disastrous than they were in 1894, % 3 Mr. Pillsbury will resume his talk this morning. MRS. SCHUTZ I8 SANE. Dismissed by Judge Hebbard, and Her Accusing Husband 1s Arrested. Albert Schutz, ex-superintendent of the Salem Cemetery, San Mateo County, who bad his wife arrested on Tuesday on ‘the charge of insanity, got bhimself into trouble yesterday morning. : He put in an appearance at the Receiv- ing Hospital where his wife was detained, and inquired at what hour she v:vol'xld be taken before the Insanity Commissioners. He hung arounda the courtyard and con- fided to two or tliree p-ople who conversed with him that he meant to kill his wife. E. M. Morgan, attorney for Mrs. Schutz m her divorce suit, was informed of Schutz's murderous 1ntentions and a war- rant was sworn out in Judge Low’s court for his arrest on the charge of threats to kill. The warrant was placed in the hands of Detective Graham and he “placed Schutz under arrest. \Vhen searched at the City Prison the only weapon found upon him was a_pocketknife. When Mrs. Schutz was taken before Judge Hebbard Schutz was escorted to the courtroom by Detective Graham. Schutz testified that he believed his wife was of unsound mind because he had offered her some money and she had refused to take it. He blamed Ciara Lenz, his wife's sis- ter, for being the' cause of all his matri- monial troubles. Mrs. Schutz told the court of her hus- band’s cruelty and the Judge promptly dismissed her, remarking that if she were crazy the sanity of every person in court might be questioned. 10 AVERT A FRUIT WAR Resolutions Adopted by a Com- mittee of Growers and Shippers. Proposed Effort for the Consolidation of Three Large Chicago Auc- tion-Houses. At the nineteenth Fruait-growers’ Con- vention, held in Sacramento in November of last year, a committee was appointed | whose duty was to be the taking of meas- | ures for the averting of last season’s fruit | war in Chicago. It appears that owing to | undue comvetition among the wholesale | fresh-fruit dealers in the last-named city Californian shippers had been obliged to | let their products, though far superior to any Eastern fruit, go for a song more than once. | The committee met vesterday in the of- | fices of the State Board of Horticulture. | H. Weinstock, president of the California | Fruit Growers’ and Shippers’ Association, presided, Frank H. Buck of Vacaville act- ing as secretary, besides whom were pres- ent: Joseph Martin of the California Green and Dried Fruit Company, H. A. | Fairban. of the National Fruit Associa- | tion, William Johnston-of Courtland, A. | T. Hatch of Suisun and R. D. Stephens of Sacramento. 2 The chairman opened the feeting by stating that the committee had been doing its best since its appointment for the es- tablishment of a barmony of interest | among fruit growers and shippers and others interested in the fresh fruit trace, in order to avert a recurrence of last year’s | disastrous fruit war. Their latter efforts, he said, had been directed toward the con- solidation under one roof of the three great fresh fruit auction-houses of Chi- cago. The fact of buyers and sellers being in different parts of the city had, in his | opinion, a tendency to demoralize the | market, threatening great irregularity and fluctuation in prices and lack of concerted Were these things would be done away with and the | attainment of a liberal, uniform schedule of prices rendered possible by the cesssa. tion of needless and harmful rivalry and ill-advised competition. _ Other members of the committee spoke in the same strain, after which the follow- ing resolutions were read and adopted: WHEREAS, At the State Convention of Fruit- growe eld in Sacramento, November, 1895, a committee of conference, consisting of seven growers and shlg{u:rs. representing the various elements engaged in the fresh fruit trade, were appointed, with instructions from the conven- tion to harmonize existing differences between shippers and_growers, with the view of estab- lishing cousolidated auction salesrooms in the Variol astern markets for the sale of Califor- nia fresh fruits; and whereas, said_committee of conference having thoroughly gone into the matter, and having found that conmsolidated salestooms established on neutral ground con- venient to the various railroad terminalstin each city are not alone entirely practicable and desirable, but for tke welfare of the fruit interests are imperative. Be it therefore Resolved, That this committee of conference do hereby call upon the California Fruit Grow- ers’ and Shippers’ Association to establish such consolidated auction salesrooms, upon neutral ground, in tne various Eastern cities, said salesrooms to be under the absolute control of the Calilornia Fruit Growers' and Shippers’ Association, and made free and open to all buyers, auctioncers, receivers and shippers of California fresh fruits, upon a fair and equit- abie basis to all, under such rules and regtia. tions as the association may establish: and be it further Resolved. That this committee of conference, representing as it doés the growers and ship. pers of fresh fruit of the State of California, ercby earnestly call u&)r)n all growers ship- ping in carload lots and upon all co-operative soceties and fresh fruit shipping companies whose names are not yet enrolled to become members of the Calitornia Fruit Growers' and hh(llj:fifl‘a‘ Associatior, and to lend tieir fullest and heartiest support to said association 1n its endeavors 10 carry out the desire of the grow- ers and shippers of Californie to establish ana maintain consolidated auction salesrooms, free and open to ail, and to continue the publica. tion of dnll?’ bulletins, tabulating the daily shipments of fruit for the guidence of growers and shippers. It was decided'that a copy of the resolu- tions be submitted to the California Frait Growers’ and Shippers’ Association for that body's adoption at’ its meeting next Saturday afternoon in the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce. ORJECTED TO HER LOVER. Annie Ervine’s Stepfather Bound Over to Keep the Peace. W. C. Ervine appeared in Judge Low’s court yesterday afternoon to answer a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The complaining witness was his wife, who owns a bakery at 8 Twenty-fourth street. She testified that on Tuesday night her daughter Annie by a former husband was standing at the door talking to her sweet- hearc when Ervine ordered her into the house. She declined to go and Ervine brought a hammer and nails to nail up the door so that she could not getin. Annie’s sweetheart interfered and Ervine threw the hammer at him. Mrs. Ervine was afraid and ran away, but as she would not swear that Ervine threw the hammer at Ler thg case was dismissed. There was another charge against Ervine Mr. Pilisbury argued that a period of general depression set in in 1893, con- tinued through 1894 and still continued with no immediate prospect of any im- provement, notwithstanding that some| of threats to kill preferred by his step- daughter Annie. After the Judge heard ‘Ther testimony he ordered Ervine into cus- NEW WORKMEN OFFICERS The Positions of G. M. E. and Outside Guard Closely Contested. SOME IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS The Humorous Element of the Order, as Exemplified by the Mogul. lian Degree. The Grand Lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workingmen met in B'nai B’rith Hall promptly at 10 o’clock yester- day morning. Several important meas- ures in regard to the subordinate lodges were passed and a species of referendum, embodied in a measure to submit any amendments that might be brought for- ward to the subordinate lodges, was made a part of the laws of the grand body. The time of electing the officers of the subordinate lodges was changed from No- ‘vember to May. The Grard Lodge constitution was so changed by amendment that hereafter the annual election of officers for that body will take place on the last day of the ses- sion instead of on the second. An adjourn- ment was then taken until 2 p. M. At that time the election of officers for the ensuing year began with enthusiasm ¥ Dr. G. W. Daywalt, the Newly Elected Grand Medical Examiner of the A. 0. U. W, [From a photograph.] and occupied the whole of the session until the time of adjournment at 7 p. M. Taylor Rogers occupied the seat of honor. he following is a list of the Grand Lodzee officers for the ensuing year: Grand master workman, William Vinter, San Jose; grand foreman, A. F. Mackay, Los Angeles; grand overseer, Herman Schaff- ner, San Francisco: grand recorder, D. S. Hirshberg, Oakland; grand receiver. Sam Booth, San Francisco; firaud guide, W. H. Evans, Monrovia; grand inside watchman, D. S. Baxter, Pokegama; grand outside watchman, J. D. Nield, San Francisco; grand trustee, J. O. Lovejoy, Tulare; grand medical examiner, George W. Day- walt; corporate directors—D. J. Toohy, William Vinter, A. F. Mackay, D. S. Hirsh- berg, Sam Booth, J. O. Lovejoy, P. Abra- hamson, N. J. Norton, John Hoesch, Frank 8. Poland, C. H. M. Curry; supreme representatives—Edwin Danforth, George B. Katzenstien, Jobn N. Young. The grand overseer. Herman Schaffner, has been recorder of Memorial Lodge No. 174 for the last fifteen years, is grand keeper of records and seal of the Knights of Pythias, and has held at various times many other offices of importance in these and other bodies. In placing Samuel Booth in nomination for grand receiver L. M, Manzer made a brave oratorical effort, and elicited long and continued applause. Said Mr. Manzer: *‘After an experience of more than thirty years in fraternal societies Iam glad to state that I recognize the spirit of fra- ternity as existing as strongly to-day as it ever did. “‘The grand receivership is an important office. i‘rom the time the money leaves the hands of the grand recorder until it is placed in the bank, it remains in the pos- session of the grand receiver, and none of us feel at our ease unless we know how to be a man of probity and strict integrity. The incumbent has acquitted himself of his manifold duties most credtiably and I feel proud to be able to state that to me has been accorded the pleasure of plac- ing in_nomination as his successor one who will emulate the record of his prede- cessor. “‘Gentlemen and brothers, for the grand receiver I nominate poet of the order, old Sam Booth.” The election of the grand master was unanimous. He has passed through all the offices laid down by precedent as pav- ing the way to the highest office in the Eg.ate order, and there was none to oppose im. The nominations for grand recorder were two—D. 8. Hirschberg and J. W. Ward. On first ballot the vote stood 239 for Hirsch- berg as against 34 for his opponent. irsehberg, so the members assert, is the “pet” of the order. Not content with the enconiums poured upon him by the nom- inator, two of the large number that rose to second him managed to keep the floor long enough to add their personal opinions to his general record. The greatest volitical wire-working came into play in the election of the grand medical examiner. The candidates were two, the incumbent, Dr. J. L.Mayon, and Dr. G. N. Daywaldt. An’ ac- tive faction was op})osed to Dr. Mayon be- cause of his radical temperance advocacy. In the preceding election, Dr. Daywaldt had courteously withdrawn and left the contest between Dr. Mayon and Dr. George L. Fitch. The counting of the votes was anxiously awaited. Amid great excitement it was announced that Dr. Daywaldt had won by eleven votes. A recount narrowed this majority down to four and the oificial count reduced it to one, the vote starding 127 for Dr. Daywaldt and 126 for Dr. Mayon. The election of the grand outside guard was very protracted, many baliots being taken before the selection of Neild. General satisfaction prevails at the elec- tion. All the membets think excellent of- ficers have been selected, though they may not have had their sympathy during elec- tion. There was no meeting at B'nai B'rith Hall in the ‘evening; as all wished to at- tend the exercises at Laurel Hall, 32 O’Far- rell street, where the Ancient Order of Adhesive Mogullians made things warm for about 150 ctndidates. To gain admit- tance members were required to bray. The following catechism gives a general idea of the whole: CATECHISM.

Martin against the South- ern Pacific Company yesterday, among them being Martin himself, who was re- called by his own counsel. His examina- tion led to some argument. The claim is made by the defense that when Martin signed his name at the con- ductor’s demand he purposely signed it in a manner on the ticket that the conductor could not but take the ticket up. This was done, the defense claims, to form a ground for action against the railroad. Plaintiff’s counsel proposed to show that the nervous affection from which Martin suffered at the time caused the change in his handwriting, but the evidence was oh- jected to and some time was consumed in arguing the point. Mr. Delmas withdrew his line of questions for the time, how- ever, and so the matter rested until this morning. In the course of his argument Mr. Delmas contended that the company had no right to place a passenger at the merey of any little petty official wh could demand a signature whenever he saw {it. Barnes claimed in answer that that was the only means of identification which was practicable. i The other witnessesexamined testified as to Martin's good characterand to the prog- ress of the nervous ailment from whic he is suffering. 10 EXTEND RESCUE WORK California Girls’ Training Home Will Be Moved to Natoma Street. Forty Benevolent Persons Contribute Money and Energy to ‘the Institution, The work of the California Girls’ Train- ing Home is to be enlarged at an early date, and arrangements will be made at an all-day meeting to be held at 26 Hill street to-day for the transfer of the home to 147 and 149 Natoma street. The decision to remove the iustitution to the proposed location is the result of an offer from forty benevolently inclined per- sons of both sexes and all ages to unite their efforts for the reclamation of young women with those of the directors of the Training Home. No organization had as vet been effected by the two score persons, | who were looking for an opportunity to do rescue work, and when they heard of the good work being done in the smal THE CHINO RANCH SOLD, Purchased by an English Syn dicate for $1,600, 000 THEY WILL COLONIZE IT. The Largest Tranmsaction Made in Interior Land for Twenty Years. Tuesday evening Wendell Easton of the firm of Easton, Eldridge & Co. returned from Southern California, where he sue- ceeced in closing a land deal that is one of the largest ever made in this State. The property in question is the famous Chino ranch, located in 8an Bernardino County, about fifty miles east of Los Angeles. The place is best known because of the location there of the largest beet sugar factory in the world, the lands of the Chino Valley being especially adapted to the culture of sugar beets. The purchasers of the ranch are Englishmen, and the consideration is $1,600,000. A contract of sale was filed in San Bernardino County Tuesday, and it includes the sale of the Chino ranch of 40,000 acres, between 3000 ana 4000 head of cattle, the racing stables of Richard Gird, the owner of the ranch; also the Chino dairy, the home place, the bank building in the town of Chino, the Chino Valley Railroad and_the extensive water system of the Chino Valley. The terms of sale are $160,000 cash down, $550,000 within four months and the balance within a year. The gentlemen who have had charge of the matter on behalf of the English syn- dicate left for London last night. The purchasers intend to extend the beet- sugar growing industry rapidly, and will endeavor to get a good portion of the place well under cultivation as soon as possible. An office will be opened in Lon- don, and at that point negotiations will be conducted with faiilies to colonize the lands. Itisexpected that fully 200 fami- lies will be brought over and settled this year, and that at least 500 families in all will be settled on the land before it is all disposed of. The history of the transaction is along and interesting one and its successful termination reflects great credit on Easton, Eldridge & Co. Wendell Easton, who { has, aided by his brother, George Easton, | had entire charge of the matter, has been workirg on the deal for more than two years. As in all transactions of such magnitude many obstacles were en- countered, but by persistent effort on Mr. Easton’s part these were all gradually | overcome and success crowned his efforts. | The effect of this sale on land values in | this State cannot help but be beneficial |in the extreme, for it serves to demon- strate that desirable farming lands in this State can be disposed of 10 advantage to | foreign capitalists.

Therefore it has been decided to rent the four-story building on Natoma street, between New Montgemery and Third, owned by LOI:\lh Metzger. The storeroom on the lower Hoor will be reserved, but the three upper floors will be partitioned and made ready for occu- pancy soon, Mr. Bugbee, the architect, ‘was calculating the cost of such improve- ments yesterday. The building was erected about six years ago for manufac- turing purposes, but has never been used except for storerooms. A general invitation has been extended to officers ard friends of the home to attend the conference to be held to-day and to partake of the luncheon the girls of the institution have prepared. The charge for luncheon wil! be nominal and the pro- ceeds will go toward furnishing the new quarters. ——————— THAT RAWHIDE STRIKE. Captain Nevills Gives Some Interesting Particulars About the Bonanz: Captain W. A. Nevills, one of the prin-, cipal owners of the wicely known Raw- hide quartz mine not far from BSonora, in Tuolumne County, has arrived here and is at the Palace. He 18 accompanied by Mrs. Nevills. For several days stories have been in circuiation of a large strike in the Raw- hide. The first impressions as conveyed by the report was that & veritable cave of gold had been found ana that the addi- tional wealth was something enormous. The report it now appears did not convey an adequate idea of the discovery. It is stated that it is not of the “jewelry-box” order. It is plain good quartz that assays about §20 a ton higher than at the: 400-foot level. The development was made.on the 900- foot level and Mr. Nevills says that the manner in which the ledge is solidifying on the aforesaid level, where it was cut and beyond, is very gratifying. ¥rom the 400 level down to that point the ledge was soft and broken to a large extent. Now the indications are that it will come in solid, and at the same time the ore is richer. The shaft is being extended further, and is now nearly to the 1000 level point. Twelve men are at work. The electric motors are runniufiin part and very soon there will b2 a fall head of power avail- able. Thirtg stamps have been running for a month past. Mr. Nevills has just made a cleaa-up. tions pending with another syndicate of Englishmen for the sale of another big ranch, and indications are very favorable for their consummation at an early date. The investment of such Iarfif sums of for- eign capital will necessarily have a favora- ble effect on the values of good agricui- tural lands of all kinds. CHANGES 1N THE SERVICE Lieutenant Buhner of the Hartley Transferred to New Orleans. Belief That Captain Healy and Lieu@en- ant Daniels Will Be Removed From the Coast. Lieutenant Buhner of the Uaited States revenue launch Hartley has been ordered to report for duty at New Orleans. He was formerly executive officer of the Bear, but became involved in the quarrel be- tween Captain Healy and Lieutenant Dan- iels. He took Healy’send of the dispute, and was himself under fire for a time. The charges against him, however, were not sustained and he did not suffer the indignity of suspension as did his old commander. But his connection with the scandal was so pronounced that for the benefiv of the service his removal to anotuer locality was deemed adviszble by Seeretary Herbert. Lieutenant Butts will succeed Buhner in the service of the Pacific. He comes from New Orleans and is a stranger to this coast. i It is understood that there will be other changes in the service at an early date, as the Secretary of the Navy seems deter- mined to restore at ieast a degree of har- mony amnng the officers of the different vessels on the coast. The quarrels and scandals that have been cropping out among the officers and men of late have been injurious to the service. 5 There has been no authentic information from Washington as to tue findings of the court-martial in the Healy investigation. It is not believed that the captain has been dismissed from the service.. There is a belief, however, that he will be remaved to the Atlantic Coast, as his usefulness on the Pacific is thougit to have come to an end. e ““As jolly as’ a sandboy’’ represents the hoppinfi to and fro of a marine insect seen everywhere along our coasts, whose leaps Laive the idea of mirth and jollitv.
