THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1896. 11 ALL TRAINS SOON T0 HAVE GATES, Partial Adoption of the Device on the Sun- set Route. FREE RIDES PREVENTED Manager Kruttschnitt the In- ventor of the Gate Now Being Used. ITS EFFECT ACROSS THE BAY. Alamedans Will Bs Compeiled to Pay Fares on Local Trains as the Oaklanders Now Do. As the result of the practical and theo- | ingenuity of General Manager Kruttschnitt of the Southern Pa- : Company, ail the tratns of this com- any are destined in all probability to ve steps leaaing to the platiorms of arded te. About a year ago Mr. Kruttschnitt took & trip over the Chicago and Alton Railroad, which has had the gated cars in use for the past two or three years with very sat- isfactory results, and was much impressed the innovation and concluded to adopt the device on the Atlantic system on one of the regulur passenger trains running between Houston and New Or- leans, the one doing the hea local busi- ness. But Mr.Kruttschnitt conceived a collaps- able gate, designed to give even better re- sults than any in use, as his inventi differs from all others in that it extends to Gate Collapsed and Passageway Opened. [From au oficial drawing.[ the lowert step, thus completely closing the entrance to the car platform, and effectually preventing any onefrom jump- ing on the car while it is in motion. In connection with the adontion of the gate on the division mentioned a rule was put into effect requiring all passengers to show their tickets before entering the cars, sim- ilar also to that in vogue on the road from which the idea of the gate was taken. Speaking of this innovation yesterday Mr, Kruttschnitt said: “IJt is a good thing, as seen in the ex- perience of the Chicago and Alton road. It keeps people who have no business on the train off it at the stations. In the South particularly when a train stops it is vaced by idlers and loafers, who go into cars to get a drink of ice-water or t a paper from the ‘butcher.’ t also prevents accidents by doing y h the practice of people jumping off trains while they are in motion, and furthermore it permits of greater at. tention being given -by conductors to the running of their trains by making the man at the gate look after tickets, leaving the conductor nothing to do but take the tickets up. “In the South the nuisance of people n | their destination. ! riding on trains without having provided { themseives with tickets has become very | great, particularly so with the negroes, | who seem to have an 1nherent ohjection to buying a ticket. He will never buy one if he can help it, and trains are often delaved while the conductor is trying to collect fares from the darkies. ““In the sugar season a large number of laborers—negroes and whites—are sent out to the sugar plantations, and the negroes will never buy tickets.”” “fs it not the intention to extend the | new departure to the Pacific system, and, in fact, to all the passenger trains of the company ?”’ was asked. “That,” answered Mr. Kruttschnitt, “I | | Gate Expanded and Passageway Closed. | [From an ofiicial drawing.) | | | cannot say at this time. Thisis really an | experiment on‘a large scale, and on its re- | sults will depend what we shall do else- | where. The fitting of cars with gates is a | matter of considerable expense, and their | adoption also requires an extra man to | every two coaches, whick means double | | the number of men now on the trains. | “Another evil with which this will do | away is the practice that many indulge in | | of riding between stations without buying | tickets, hoping that they will not be | noticed by the conductor until they reach } 1t is this idea on the | | part of the megroes in the South which | ves us so much trouble. | Now, take another view of it from the | standpoint of the traveling public. It has | been proven a great convenience to them 1 across the bay. Before we put the gates | on the cars over there the coaches were usually unduly crowded by people who | really had no right on the trains, Now, those who ride find things much more | comfortable. | ““The matter of debarring those who | have no tickets going aboard trains is not a new thing by any means in the East. | There, where they have a pretty heavy | passenger traffic, no one is allowed in the | trainshed except those who have tickets, | and where the gate-cars are used the gate- | men are simply transferred from the station to the train.” On being again asked if it was not con- | templated to introduce the gate in this | section Mr. Kruttschnitt replied that they | were now arranging to place gates on all | the trains running between Houston and | New Orleans, and when this had been ac- | complished and the results appeared to | | warrant it the change wounld undoubtedly | be made on the Pacific system also. Mr. | Kruttsehnitt stated, however, that he | could not even approximate the time when | | this would be done. | | Among the most important effects of the | general adoption of this system will be, of | course, the complete deprivation of the | privilege now enjoyed by the people of | | Alameda of riding free on the local trains running between that town and the Oak- land ferry landing. MINISTER WILLIS ILL. | He Has Been Dangerously Sick With Pneumonia, but Is Now Better. United States Minister Albert 8. Willis of Hawaii, who arrived here from Hono- lula a week ago vesterday, has pneumo- nia and is quite ill. At one time his case was regarded as very dangerous. Dr. McNutt is attending him. Mr. Willis took cold on the steamer the day of his arrivai. The next day he went forth in the rain and caught an additional cold. On the following morning, when he | had expected to start, he was too ill to get | out of bed, and he has been there ever since. His wife and son, who arrived with him, are by his eide. It was given out yesterday that the Min- ister’s condition was improving. It will no doubt be some time yet before he can resume his travels. There were many in quiries about Minister Willis yesterday. i -—— Shakespeare on the Continent. An Italian company is now playing “The Taming of the Shrew” at the Niccotini Theater at Florence. In the Italian trans- lation the play is entitled “La Bisbetica Domata.” In” order, however, to attract the English and American residents and visitors, large placards are posted announc- ing Shakespeare's “Tamed Shrew.”’—Lon- don News. | Zeigler and Green—will be called at 8:30 | COMES 10 SUE BALDWIN Miss Lillian Ashley Arrives| From Pasadena Ready for Court. WHAT SHE SAYS ABOUT IT. The Big Trial for $75,000 Damages ‘Will Begin Before Judge S!ack Next Monday. Miss Lillian A. Ashley of Pasadera, the young woman who is suing Millionaire E. J. Baldwin for $75,000 for basély deceiving her, was amoug the arrivals here yester- day. She bas come to consult with her at- 1 torneys, preparatory to the beginning of the trial on May 4. Crittenden Van Wyck have the case in hand for her, and Lloyd & Wood and Henry E. Highton are going to do all they can to assist gay Mr. Baldwin to hold on to his ducats. It will be recalled that some months ago, when he filed an answer to Miss Ashley’s preliminary suit, he al- leged that his reputation was so notorious around the country asa Lothario that it should have been impossible for him to Jhave deceived any lady by any sort of specious argument. This was one reason why he thought he ought to hoid on to the §75,000, or any other sum Miss Asbley might desire. Apparently the young lady does not feel | in the mood to grant the millionaire’s re- | quest, however, and she thinks she can | make a showing that will not add laurels to the erstwhile lucky man'’s position. When seen yesterday Miss Ashley was | just setting forth on matters pertaining to her case. She appeared asa rather tall | voung woman, with dark eyes, a high, rather intellecinal face and dark hair, Her | manner is modest and retiring. “My attorneys have asked me not to be interviewed or go into the details of the | case,”” said Miss Ashley. “The trial will begin almost at once, and will, I hope, be carried through without delay.” 1 At the oftice of Crittenden Van Wyck | it was stated that the trial would open on May 4 and that an order had been made for the 25th inst. as the time for the direct interrogations, thus giving both principals time to file their bills of ob- jections. H. C. Chamblin and R. Y. Harder will have to do with that part of the busines: The trial, which is to begin before | Superior Judge Slack on Monday next, will | no doubt attract greatattention. Baldwin | is so well known and the sum sued for of | so large size that throngs are sure to attend. The young lady is by no means devoid of attraction and she will doubtless arouse deep interest, Most of the testimony will be by deposi- | tion. There have been several taken, | aggregating several hundred pages. The | deposition of Miss Ashley herself is spread over four hundred and fifty pages. 1t prom- ises to be a notable suit. | THE BOXING CARNIVAL. Zeigler and Green Are Still Growling " Over Referees—The Men in | Good Condition. ! This evening the Olympie Club wiil take possession of the Mechanics’ Pavilion fora few hours. The grand fistic exhibition of which so much has been said and written will be held under the auspices of the club, and ac- | cording toall appearances an immense crowd will witness the contest. Zeigler has strongly objected to every | man who has been named by the Olymnpic | Club for referee. The other boxers who | will take part in the evening’s entertain- | | | ment have entered no objections against the club’s selecting a referee whose duty | it will be todecide all bouts according | to the good or bad performances of the | contestants. | Zeigler is afraid that the Olympic Club caanot select from its members a man who will not show some Egrtlality to a club representative in a xing bout, conse- quently he hoves that Manager Kennedy will select some person who is not a mem- ber of the Olympic Club for referee. Ken- nedy will make his selection to-day, and, | according to his own way of putting it, it must go rain or shine. The first event—a 10-round “go”” between sharp. This will be followed by four six- round bouts, all of which promise much excitement to the spectators. e o “I'M DYING BZAUTIFULLY.” Strange Word Left by a Suicide in the Park. To the already long list of suicides is added that of a man in the old 49er’s mining camp in the park yesterday even- ing. The body was found by A. Johnson of | words for ““jam”—*‘acre.”” the Bay District track at 8 p. M. The body lay fuil length in some shrubbery. It was evident that the man was about 45 years of age. His height was 6 feet and he possessed dark hair and a heavy, dark mustache. Near the body lay a barkeeper’s zpron, on which was embroidered the initials, *0. W.

Professor Syle’s Lecture in Lincoln School on *‘Great Books.” The University of California has been giving a course of lectures to the High School and graduating grammar classes of the Lincoin Evening School of this City, and toe last one for the term, delivered last evening by Professor M. D). Lyle, A.M., on “Great Books,” was emineutly pleas- ing to teachers and students. The other lectures were by Dr. Lewis, physicist; Professor Plehn, “History and Sociology”’; Mr. Armes, “Rhetoric.” The university faculty deserve the thengs of Principal McDonald and the Board of Education on behalf of the even- ing classes. The public can get acquainted with Professor Syle through his book, “¥From Milton toTennyson,” and his play, about to presented at the Columbia Theater, t > [e; BRITISH REORUITING. Secretly Carried on in This Country During the Crimean War. In the North American Continent the spirit of adventure is strong. During the Crimean War I was an attache at the Washington about forty years ago, I do not suppose that I am disclosing secretsin saying what then occurred. We received orders to re- cruit a force for the Crimea. This was a fad of Lord Panmore, who was then War Minister. Sir John Crampton, our Minister, vainly wrote to explain that this might get usinto trouble with the United States Govern- ment. The only reply was an order to obey. 8o wedid. I was sent to New York to look after the recruiting there. Wehad a ship in the harbor and we found no difficulty in filling it. A recruiter got $5 per man, and the man $5, accompanied with many promises of good things. When the ship was full it was sent to Novia Scotia, where we had as Governor an old soldier with the reputation of being able to knock any regi- ment into shape. Che Government of the United States soon got wind of our pro- ceedings at New York, and at Niagara, where we had a Hungarian employed to lip recruits across the frontier. ithe re- ult was that the members of the legation at Washington and the Consulsat New York and one or two other places received their passports. What particularly amused me was that the Consul at New York had had nothing to do with the matter. But we haa elaborated a far grander scheme. We had found a sort of filibuster- ing general, who bad agreed to provide us with several thousand men, who were to be recrnited in Texas and the adjoining Southern States. These were to be com- manded by the general. The negotiations went off because while we were prepared to give him the local rank of general in the Crimea he insisted upon being made what | ne called afull general in the British army. To this we could not assent. I never could discover what became of my New York recruits. They were landea in Nova Scotia, and snortly afterward the | Governor telegraphed that they had re- belled, ana that he was going to take steps to reduce them to a fitting state of dis- cipline. This was the last heard of them. The Governor was somewhat of a dun- derheaded man. We wanted (I forget why) to have a ship sent from Nova Scotia to Jamaica. We had a cipher dictionary, but I could not find the word Jamaica in it,s0 1 telegrapbed the code words for “jam’’ and *“‘acre.” This was too much for the Governor’s intelligence. Again and again he telegraphed to ask where the ship was 10 go; again and again I tele- graphed back referring him to the code Finally we had to send a messenger with a letter.—London | Times. —_——— Competition in Diplomaocy. In 1891 it was decided that the appoint- ments in the British Foreign Office should be interchangeable with attacheships in the diplomatic service, and the entrance examinations were then made the same. The limits of age are 19 and and the nomination rests with the Foreign Secre- tary. The scheme of examination em- braces French, German, Spanish, Portu- uese, Russian, Latin, and tue History of furope. In 1892 shorthand was added by direciion of Lord Rosebery, then Foreign Secretary. The examination in modern languages is of a very seaching character. Vacancies are few—about four annually— and an examination fee of £6is demanded. Attaches receive no salary until they serve two years; then they take the place of third secretaries, with a salary of £150. Second secretaries receive £300 to_£500, whil}g commercial attaches get £1000 to £1300. The prodpects of clerks are excellent, for the diplomatic service comprises 132 mem? bers, and £1000 is by no means an uncom- mon salary. There are twenty-six Minis- ters with salaries running from £1250 to £6000, while those of Embassadors vary from £5500 to £9000 a year. It is note- | worthy that the British Embassadors now at Washington and Constantinopla re- spectively commenced their careers as junior clerks in the Foreign Otfice,.—Cham- bers’ Journal. proved |- legation, and as this was | GOING TO THE HEATHEN, Mormon Missicnaries Who Are Bound to Samoa and Tahiti. ALL OF THEM ARE YOUNG MEN. It Is Their Life Work, They Say, and They Wil Never Come Back But to Visit. A delegation of enthusiastic Mormon missionaries arrived here yesterday and are at the Russ. The missionaries consist of A. P. Hitchcock of Richmoad, Utah; David Neff, A. R. Curtis and Jerry C. Curtis of Salt Lake, and William McDer- mott of Clifton, Idaho. They are all young men and are bound to Samoa and Tahiti to labor among the natives. Messrs. Neff and Curtis will go to the latter place by the first sailing ship, and all the others to Samoa on the Mari- posa to-day. Noue of the young Mormons have ever done any foreign missionary work. ““We believe we can do some good to the natives of those islands, said one of them. fAtany rate we are willing it. Our church already has missionariesthere, who have met with success. “The first thing we will do will be to learn the native language. We have books printed in our publishing-house in Salt Lake suitable to the mneeds of the aboriginees. We will study these books with them, and I doubt not we will get along very well. “In all probability we will stay awav several years before we can even see this country again. This is our life work. We do not expect to ever give it up.” The young men all seem imbued with the responsibility of this undertaking and are destined to make the most of it. THE BRIDGE PROBLEM. Council May Fence It Up to Save Mak- ing Repairs. OAKLAND, CaAL., April 30.—The Coun- cil is wrestling with the probiem which is presented by the Eighth-street bridge over the estuary to East Oakland. It has been declared unsale, and yet it is used by an electric line and the public at large. The Finance Committee has decided thag it will be cheaper to fence up the street entirely than to pay some big damage awards. There are no funds available this fiscal year to make the necessary repairs. Street Superintendent Miller considers this the proper thing under these circumstances, as the city would be very liable to get into some big damage suits if the bridge was not immediately repaired or closed. City Attorney Peirsol was instructed to look up the law as to whether the city had power to fence up the tracks of an electric line, as would have to be doneif the bridge was fenced. He will present a resolution to the Council Monday night in accord- | .ance with his findings. The bridge carries the 30-inch water main of the Contra Costa Water Company, and the company is now taking the pre- liminary steps to remove it to the Twelfth- street dam. This move is in accordance with a recent resotution of the Council. A horse belonging to the Western Meat Company was so seriously injured on the ?’idge recently that it had to be killed. here is now a bill before the Council for $600. Another big break is reported in the old structure, but the floor will be patched so as to stand until the necessary legal steps can be taken to close it to all traffic. Congregational Seminary.

OAKLAND, Car., April 29.—A meeting of the members of the suspended Lyon Post, G. A. R., was held last night, and it was practically decided that the best thing to do was to wait quietly till the ninety days were up, and then to commence again and forget about the recent troubles. A committee of two was appointed to con- sider the turning out of the members on Memorial day. They cannot parade as a 0st, S0 they will probably appear as an inaependent body of veterans.

OAKLAND, Oar., April 30.—The newl, elected board of directors of the Oakian Board of Trade met to-day, with M. J. Keller in the chair, and elected officers as follows: J. P. Taylor, president; H. O. Trowbridge, vice-president; George B. M. Gray, treasurer, and Craigie Sharp Jr., secretary. The latter was elected a dele- gate to the State Board of Trade. Steps will be taken to establish a permanent exhibit of manufactures and products of the county. Nonsuit Donied. OAKLAND, Car., April 30.—The plain- tiff in the case of J. W. Tompkins and wife against George S. Montgomery, the salvationist, closed their case and a motion for a nonsuit was denied. The de- fense is now putting in its case. Mrs. Tompkins wanis $30,000 damages for in- juries received in a runaway of a four- horse stage claimed to be the line of the defendant. Drilling Firemen. OAKLAND, CiL., April 30.—Chief Fair of the Fire Department is doing all in his power to increase the efficiency of the men under him and is being met half-way by them. He has instituted a system of house drills, consisting of familiarizing the men with their work. T Boulevard Proposed. BERKELEY, CaL., April 30.—Residents of Berkeley on University avenue are con- sidering a proposal to transform the street into a beautiful boulevard. The avenue is one of the longest and straightest thor- oughfares in the town, stretching from the nmversitf erounds to the bay. Itis pro- posed to line the avenue with shade trees and have it kept in first-class condition for a driveway. The work of planting the trees could be done by the town if favored by voters, and it is probable that at the next general election the proposition will be submitted to the people. Dr. Watson’s Visit. BERKELEY, CaL., April 30.—Dr. John Watson of Queen’s College, Kingston, Canada, who is to be the guest of the Philosophical Union of the university, and who will deliver several philosophical ad- dresses before that body, 1s expected to ar- rive in Berkeley to-morrow morning. Dr. Watson will spesk in the new First Presbyterian Church on Monday evening on ““Philosophy From Descartes to Lieb- nitz,” and on Tuesday eveniLg on ‘‘Kant and Absolute Idealism.” He will be the wuest of Professor Howison while in Berke- ley. Berg May Go Free. BERKELEY, Car., April 30.—The case of A. Berg. formerly of the Acheson Hotel, who is charged with violating the liquor ordinance, will probably be dropped as a result of the failure of the prosecution in the case of Doran. The witnesses against Berg are the same individuals who were placed on the stand at the trial of Doran, and as they refused to give the testimony expected of them at that time, it is pre- sumed that their evidence will also be worthless in the hearing of Mr. Berg, who is charged under circumstances similar to those of Doran. ‘Woman Suffrage Workers. BERKELEY, - Can., April 30. — Mrs. Eleanor Carlisle and Mrs. R. P. Thomas of the Citizen Suffrage League of Berkeley are endeavoring to organize a woman suffrage society in West Berieley. It is proposed to establish a West End branch of t he Berkeley League. ““Love for Love." BERKELEY, CaL., April 30.—The uni- versity student theatrical company wiich produced Insiructor L. D. Syle's adapta- tion of Congreve's “Love for Love,” at Shattuck Kall, two weeks ago, will present the play again next Saturday evening at the Columbia Theater, in San Francisco, as a benefit for the English department library of the university. THE HERO OF KULM. A Prussian General Who Won a Victory Without Knowing It. The allies were holding their own with difficulty toward Kulm, when suddenly appeared on the sky-line of the moun- tains to the north the head of a column of troops. They wore blue coats and shakos, and the French at once sent up loud cheers, for they looked upon the new- comers as the relief sent by Napoleon. So they attacked more furiously than ever. But soon smoke appeared upon the moun- tainside and artillery commenced to nlay against the rear of Vandamme’s little army, and the French realized that in- stead of comrades they had Prussians making an attack upon their rear. It was the corps of General Kleist, on his way from Dresden, who was taraily jomning the allies by way of Nollendorf. hen Vandamme saw that his retreat was threatened, he at once attacked Kleist's Prussians with all the force he could spare, still facing the Austrians and Russians, who now had an easy fight of it. The allies bad a decided advantage in cavalry, and they soon surrounded the French, so that Vandamme's only hope was to break through where Kleist barred the way. .'end so well did Vandamme fight that Kleist, who did not know what was going on among the Russians and Austrians, thought himself beaten, and sent a mes- sage to that effect. His men were carried away along with the wreck of Vandamme’s army, and that nizht French and Ger- mans lay down in the woods about Kulm, completely exhausted, each ih doubt as to the result of the battle. Both sides agreed not to fight any more, but to become pris- oners next morning of whichever side proved to have won the day. Next morn- ing the news was known that Vandamme had been captured, along with 10,000 Frenchmen and a long list of cannonand other trophy. Nobody was more surprised than Kleist himself. He had seen nothing of the bat- tle excepting disorganized Prussians fight- ing impotently, an: then being carried away amidst a stream of 1ugitive§. He had stumbled upon the scene at 10 o’clock in the morning; had been attacked and had got decidedly the worst of it. He rode despondently to bis night quarters at Ar- besau aiter the day’s work was done, and confided to an intimate friend ti:at he ex- ected to be tried by court-martial for ailing to cut his way through the French, and thus joining the allies, His despon- dency was heightened, no doubt, by the consciousness that tie had notin hisde- feat dode anythingwto relieve the military fame of his country. He considered his career as ended. What, then, was his sur- | prise to be waked in the middle of the | night to be told that he was the winner of | a glorious battle, that he pad been the | savior-of his couutry, and that his King roposed clotiing "him with splendid onors. H Poor Kleist thought it all a dream or a joke. Butit all came true. He was made a Count Kleist of Nollendori, and given a splendid estate ‘worth three hundred thousand thalers. He has a grand monu- ment in Berlin, equal. to that of Scharn- | horst or Stein. R | Vandamme, on the other - hand, had made an oxcbhent fight of it; had counted upon the assistarce of Napoleon, which never came, and been defeated. The Czar sent him to Siberia, and had him trans- vorted like a hizhwayman, exposed at every posthouse to the hootings of the mob. .

JUDGE SANDERSON'S ORDER. I G. Fredrickson's Friends Finally Appeaied to the Court for Assistance. It took an order of court signed by Supe- rior Judge Sanderson to get I. G. Fredrick- son, a man whose mental condition ren- dered it necessary that should be restrained, into the Receiving Hospital yesterday to await an examination by the authorities as to his fitness to be at large. Fredrickson’s friends have noticed for several days that his actions were strange, and yesterday they came to the conclusion that his mind was unbalanced and that he should be taken care of in some secure place until he eitber recovered or was de- clared insane. He was accordingly placed in a hack and conveyed to the Receiving Hospital, where the physician in charge was re- quested to admit him until he could be taken care of elsewhere, the representa- tion being made that he was likely to in- jure himself or otheérs if not kept in re- straint. The answer was that the hospital was full and that the man must be taken to _some other institution. In vain the friends who were caring for Fredrickson expostulated. The physician was obdu- rate, and the man, who was becoming violent, was tuken to the City Prison, his friends not knowing where else to leave him. Here he was put into an ordinary cell, the prison furnishing no other ac- commodations, and those who had inter- ested themselves in his behalf hurried off to ascertain what course to pursue to have bim properly carea for. An attorney was consulted and he coun- seled calling on tue Superior Court. Judge Sanderson was indignant when he learned of the refusal of the Receiving Hospital authorities to admit Fredrickson. “Draw up an order of court directing the physician in charge to admit this man immediately,” he said, “and I will sign it.” Within a few moments Fredrickson's friends bad procured the order and were back at the prison, where two stalwart pa- licemen were keeping a sharp wafch on the man to prevent his injuring himself by dashing his head against the iron bars or stone walls of the cell. The Receiving Hospital people made no further objection to receiving Fredrickson when the order of court was presented to them, and he was made as comfortable as the circumstances would permit. Itis be- lieved that Fredrickson’s aberration is not of a permanent character, and that with proper treatment he will recover within a short time. An effort will be made to have Judge Sanderson join with Judge Hebbard in trying to induce the Superyisors to make proper provision for insane patients at the Receiving Hospital. Etiquette of Visits.
