THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1896. INCIPIENT RIOTS OVER TRANSFERS, Great Disturbances Created All Day by the New !“ing System. NEWSBOYS ARE JOYOTUS. Declare the Innovation Furnished Great Sport and Added Profits. | DAMAGE SUIT IN PROSPECT. To Be Brought by a La! Who Was Refusel a Transfer for a L:gally Obtained Check. It was a great day for the newsboys who make the corner of Market and’ Powell streets their stand yesterday. It was a day of triumph, fun ana increased profits for them. For the employes of the Market-streét Railway, which, by the introduction of a new transfer system at this point, hopes to circumvent the urcins in the manipulation of transfers as pre- miums in the sale of newspapers, it was'a day of tribulation, perspiration and over- whelming defeat. And as for the travel- ing public it occupied much the position of the traditional lad who stood the blows while two others fought. In short, the new check-transfer m at this point proved a decided failure from whichever t can be viewed. here was no augmentation of the news- rces, unless the increased sym- nd co-operation of the public with couid. be so called. On ‘the other hand the battle against the lads was waged by a special corps directly under orders of the company or working in co-operation with the company’s cohorts. At thispont | were massed five transfer agents, ten spot- ters or-assistants and from thres to half a dozen officers during the busiest parts of the day, and not one of these had a sine- | cure. | The seyerest strain on them came in the | early morning hours between 6:30 and 8, | and in the evening from 5 to 6. though at | no time, except late at night, was there anything that approacled a slackening on | the strain. | At the height of the rush it was that | six transfer agents found themselves with | their hands literaily full and their utmost efforts -failed to prevent serious obstruc- tion of “the sidewalks by the impatient throngs waiting to exchange their checks | for tra At .these 'times disgusted | gnant women protested, and scores started to walk to tion or attempted to ride on their traasfer-looking ¢hecks, only to be ejected from the cars with the suggestion to go back and secure a transfer. So great | was the obstruction and so pandemonium- | the demonstration observed that the ty of the corner where Eddy and Powell streets debouch into Market ap- peared to be in a state of threatening riot irom sunrise until long after dark. ] Not only did the police endeavor, though with but the poorest of success, to keep a passageway on the sidewalk for pedes- | trians, but they amused themselves with even more futile efforts to drive the news- boys from the field of contest. It was reported thatin addition to the persons who were ejected from cars for failing to provide themselves with trans- fers, many who had been seen to secire | their transfers from newsboys by spotters were put off cars on the ground that trans. fers are not transferable. | But the most serious_incident, so far as the railway tompany is ¢oncerned,-was the refusal of Transfer Agent Philpot to | exchange a check for a wefi-known news- | boy, who had obtained it iegitimately. | This laa took a ride to the €liff House and left his car on his return at Powell street, | asking for and only obtaining a check; | but when he proffered it to bave it'ex- | changed for.a transfer the agent named re- fused to comply with his request, having | recognized him as a newsboy. The lad awaited the retyrn from theferry of the car on'which" he had ridden into town, boarded it, asked the conducter if he re¢- rnized him as_having ridden on his car, id his fare and having obtained a check. He not only secured all these admis- sions, but got the conductor to indorse the check as having been legitimately obtained by the lad. The latter agam presented the check for exchance, but the agent remained obdu- rate. - Then, on the suggestion of a com- rade, he at once put the matter in tne hands of an attorney, and there is a cer- tainty of at least one suit resulting from General Manager Vining’s great coup. At Third and Market streets there was less friction, as the system had been par- tially in practice for two months befare. The only unusual feature was the increase of the transfer agents to three during the busy periods of the day. H Berkeley vs. San Francisco. BERKELEY, CaL., May 1.—A game of baseball was played on- the university campus this afternoon between the Berke- ley High School and the Lowell High School of San Francisco. The Berkeley nine won by a ecore of 16 to 12. A il Group of Prominent Performers in the Forthcoming Play of * Love for Love” at the Columbia. PROFESSOR FROM CANADA, | Dr. John Watson of Queens Col- lege, Kingston, at Berkeley. LECTURES ON PHILOSOPHY. Great Expectations for the Athletic Events to Take Place This Afternoon. BERKELEY, CaL, May 1.—Dr. Jobn Watson, the celebrated philosopher from Queen’s College, Kingston, Canada, ar- rived in Berkeley this morning and was at once escorted to the home of Professor . H. Howisen, on Bangroft way., where he will temain during his stay in California. Professor Watson comes trom his home in Canada to Berkeley at the invitation of the Philosophical Union of the State Uni- versity, for the purpose of delivering a series of lectures before the union on his specialty. He will also deliver a public lecture on the evening of the 12th inst. at Harmon Gymnasium, on the campus, which will be similar in nature to the one delivered by Professor Royce of Harvard last year, during commencement week. “My trip to California,” said he, ‘‘was an exceedingly pleasant one and not alto- gether without incident. On my way out Istopped at Chicago, St. Lounis and Denver. At Denver I had the pleasure of deliver- ing a lecture to the students of the new Washington University. It is a voung, growing institution and appears to be in a very healthy condition. This is my first visit to California, and indeed ! am most delighted with what little T have already seen of it. Those hills back therc,”” point- ing to the Berkeley range, from vwhich he bad just descended, “take me back to my old home in Scotland. “‘They are quite characteristic of certain parts of my native country, especially along the Frith of Clyde. They are sim- ply magnificent, and cannot place too high a praise on them and the view of your almost unparalleled harbor which they furnished me. Berkeley itself isa beautiful spot—an ideal place for a univer- sity site.”’ . When asked regarding the state of af- fairs at his own university in Canada, he said: “Our institution is young and growing, and like most every university I have seen is in need of more rinances in order that it may develop alon the lines designed. Our principal, George M. Grant, a noted man in - Canada, said recently that we needed a quarter of a million dollars to DR. -JOHN - WATSON. bring things where they ought to be in this age of progress. Queen’s College is now 54 years old, and we have .in sttendance at the present time 563 students in the main departments—the literary, medical and divinity. The college is growing all the time. In the last three years the attendance has in- creased by 100 students. The institution is entirely private, not being supported by Governmentali aid, as the name might im- ply. We have a royal charter granted from ingland. It is a kind of a royal'business all around—Queen’s College in Kings-ton. I bave been at the head of the depart- ment of philosophy there for the past twenty-four years. Originally I was the only professor in the department, but now there are three. Our department is divided into three parts, those of mental and moral philosophy and of political science. I take charge of the moral de- partment, which is now chiefly an honor department; that is, only the higher stu- dents are permitted to take the courses.” ‘‘As to my lectures here, [ will say that I expect to give five inall. The public lecture will be held in the gymnasium, I believe, on May 12. The subject for the address, which I have outlined, will be “A Comparison of the Greek and the Chris- tian Ideas of Life.” First, I will deal with the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle; secondly, with Christianity as set forth by its founder, as distinguished from subse- quent doctrinal development; and thirdly, medimval Christianity, as contrasted with the point of view of modern thought. The two lectures, which are to be given in the Presbyterian Church, will be on the devel- | opment of modern philosophy; and the | other two, wkich will be before the union prover, will be a defense of idealism, I may possibly stay over two weeks, or until after the 12th. If so, I will give two public lectures on ‘“Dante.” BERKELEY, Cairn., May L—Berkeley’s athletes are all ready for to-morrow’s con- tests, and after a week at the training- table are in condition to do better work ‘haz;] was done last Saturaay against Stan- ford. In to-morrow’s games it will be the University of California against the rest of the te, and interest in athletics of track and field has never been at a higher pitch in Berkeley than it is now. An- other consideration that adds to the inter- est in to-morrow’s field-aay is the results of the meet will decide what athletes will represent the University of California in the East. At least one coast record will be beaten to-morrow, unless all signs fail. R. W. Edgren, U. C. '95, is regarded as certain to throw the bammer far beyond the record. In practice Edgren has reached 148 feet 5 inches, ana if he repeats the performance to-morrow he win for California the world’s record in that event. The University of California has another winner, both to-morrow and in the East, in Torrey, the hurdler, who did the 220- yard hurdle last Saturday in 26 seconds, and who is expected to at least equal that time to-morrow. In the entries for the field-day seventeen athletic organizations are represented. This is expected to result in swelling the attendance bevond that of any similar af- fair ever hela on the coast, for each club, college or association has its supporters who will be present to watch and encour- nfetheir favorites. As the gate receipts of the day are to be devoted to meeting | the expenses of sending a University of | California team KEast, this prospect of a | large crowd is one that the Berkeley ath- | letic managers view with no small pleasure. Crafts and Cushing, the University club- men who won against Stanford last Satur- day, are looked upon as quite likely to come. in first, though no forecast can be mad th any confidence owing to the possibility of “'surprises’” where there are 50 many entries. The u.:‘(:-ol-war teamsare unknown quan- tities. The Berkeley rope-pullers will be F. G. Radelfinger, "A. L erley, B. E. Hooper, F. J. Greisberg, P. W. Hall and C. R. Holton. The six men mentioned are strong and heavy athletes, and if they are pull:G over the line 1t will not be by a team of lightweignts. The Oiympic Ciub tug-of-war team is reported to be a very strong one, and those who have the best opportunities for judging think that the final issue will be between the University Cluband the Olympic Club. There are fifteen events altogether on the programme. Owing to the large num- ber of contests 1:30 . M. has been set as the time of commencement, and the man- agers announce that a beginning will be wade promptly at that time. BERKELEY, CAL., May 1.—The student players from the State University, who so successfully presented Instructor L. D. Syle’s adaptation of Congreve’s “‘Love for Love” at Shattuck Hall in Berkeley about the middle of April will repeat the per- formance to- mOrrow evening at the Columbia Theater in San Francisco. One- balf of the proceeds of tne performance will pe turned over by Manager Fried- lander to the English department of the university. The silk spider of Madagascar spins threads of a gold color, and strong enough, according to Maindron, to hang a cork hemlet by.

Answered That the Sccialist Party Is Revolutionary and Cannot Mix With Mere Reform. The 1st of May demonstration of the socialists last night not only filled Metro- politan Temple but furnished material for |. overfiow meetings in front of the temple and on the steps of the Mint opp osite. The meeting in the temple was hela under the auspices of the Socialist Labor party and was presided over by T. Ross Martin. The stage was trimmed with flowers in profusion and the red standards of the party. Mr. Martin in a brief introductory re- ferred to the growth of Labor day and how it was being celebrated in nearly every country. The addresses were limited as to time and intersperced with music and recita- tions. James Andrews'wae introduced as a man who had suffered the jibes of men as a worker for socialism when the canse was young, but now that it was growing strong, ana therefore respectable, he was growing in like measure in public esteem. He said in brief that the socialist party in the old country was loved and feared— feared because it was misunderstood. The party was the one political organi- zation that sought the good of all the world. It was the most peaceable of all organizations, and this statement could be proved by comparing notes. He said the weapon of the party was the ballot, and this statement was applauded. When the party came into power there would be great changes in the methods of the Government, but it would be a peaceful change. The eight-hour law would be changed to an hour law, for in- stance, and men would be paid according to the work they did. He invited the an- archists to come to the socialists meetings at the Temple, and not to vote or talk against socialists, as by so doing they were striking the knife into the best friends of humanity. Paul Gratkau made an address In Ger- man. The socialists had cast 1,780,000 votes in the recent elections in Germany, and he had been an active worker in the campaign. The general applause with which he was frequently interrupted indi- cated the complexion of the audience, with regard to nationality. R. T. Mclvor, busineis agent of the Painters’ Union, was introduced as a man not on the programme. He said the Socialist Labor party was understood to be one that sought the whole loaf or nothing. For himself he sought the whole loaf, but was willing to take stick by stick, grain by grain, until he got “the full re- ward of his labor. Trades union- ism banded itself together for that purpose—for the purpose of ainin, wh:pz might bsgained‘ under the g;piml§ istic regime under which people live. Its members expected to gain much as time assed in favor of the power of the capital- ists. It was generally understood that the prosperity of a country brought prosperity to the masses. It was not true, he said, and cited English statistics to prove his statement. ‘‘Weare banded together for the emancipation of men, women and chil- dren.” He urged the Socialist Labor party to join them, the trades unionists, for what could be gained immediately, and not to trust too much to the future. He urged them to help in taking children out of the factories immediately, and this suggestion was stoutly applauded. He mf them to band together politically and econom- ically. As he progressed he was warmed to his subject and thoroughly caught the sympa- thy of his audience. ““We are here by right,” he said, "fi:nr\- anteed by the constitution freedom, liberty in the pursuit of happiness. We demand the right to labor and the wage of our labor. 1f we are refused we will take the ml-chi?,ery and the'land and employ our- selves.’ .. Mrs. J. May Robinson made a short and imoassioned address in behalf of the prin- ciples of socialism. E. T. Kingsley answered McIvor in the address following. He said the trades union was a patchwork reform, designed to fit to the capitalistic system. The Socialist Labor party was a revolutionary d not mix with mere re- form any more than could oil and water, Machinery had not benefited the laboring men. This country had produced grain enough to feed its people for three years, and yet there were thousands who would g0 to bed hungry to-night. There was no time in the history of the world when the laboring man was at such a disadvantage. He has no tools or land and no oppor- tunity to make a living when he loses his job. ~ There is nothing so cheap as a human being. g b He spoke of the enmity said to exist be- tween England and Germany, but he said there were thousands and thousands of French and Germans singing together the *Marseillaise.” The meeting was closed by the singing of the “Marseillaise” by the Mannerchor on the stage and the audience standing. e CREEN WAS ACGRESSIE Given the Victory Over Zeigler on That One Point Alone George Green and Owen H. Zeigler were | the star artists at the physical-culture ex- hibition at the Mechanics’ Pavilion last evening. The former was given a favorable decision in the ten-round contest because of his aggressiveness. [t was agreed when the men entered the ring that the most aggressive fighter should wear the laurels of battle. Zeigler made a splendid show- ing, and had many admirers among the great throng. The exhibition was in every way a success. There were four contests on the card and all satisfactory. Al King acted as referee in all the events. Jack Burdett acted as time-keeper for the club and Sam Hughes held the watch for Zeigler, while Jack Welch did a like service for the young Californian. Joe Choynski, Hugh Kennedy and Car- keek were behind the Philadelphia youth. and Bob McArthur, Frank Foster ana Alex Greggains looked after Green’s corner. ‘The betting was 10 to 8 in favor of Zeigler. The first round opened with both men feeling for an opening. “Zeigler showed poor judgment in measuring distances as all his blows were short. The round was tame. Zeigler had a slight advantage at the close of the second round. He landed on Green’s eye at the opening and smashed | him twice in the face, and Green tapped his opponent lightly on the eye and was careful not to get in"the way of Zeigler's swinging right. Green’s eye was bleeding. Green seemed to wake up in the third round and forced the fighting. He fol- lowed Zeigler to the ropes and kept him pretty much on the run. Zeigler got in a clean uppercut and landed several times lightly on Green’s face, but the latter re- | taliated severely and when time was called in the fourth round Zeigler had lost muci of his gayety. Green reached Zeigler's wind several times in this round and inflicted severe punishment on his antagonist. Zeigler, on the other hand, jabbed Green with his left several times, and honors were about even when time was called. The fighting was nearly even in the | fifth, sixth and severih rounds, Green playing for Zeizler's heart, whiie the latter | effectively wo ‘ted his wicked left, | There was some heavy fighting in the eighth round, Green 'almost flooring Zeigler twice. The fighting on boht sides | was spirited. Green was the aggressor throughout the round. Zeigler claimed to have been fouled, but it was not allowed, and the round closed in Green's favor, amid tremendous cheering and hissing. The ninth round was uneventful. Both | men showed weakness. ticeable lack of force to their blows. In the tenth and last round Green was grogey and Zeigler landed at will, having much the best of the round and being the fresher of the two men when time was called. The decision of the referee was at once announced, but it was not unanimously appproved by the srectmorm .{ Reilly and J. Sullivan entertained the audience with an excellent exhibition. They entered the ring at 119 pounds. It was one of the best contests of the even- ing. - The decision was fairly won by Sulli- van. Dal Hawkins of California and J. A. McGinley of Australia fought from the start. Hawkins had everything his own | way. The Californian was in every way superior and led McGinley a pace he could not follow. In the fourth round Hawkins knocked | McGinley down three times in succession, and punished the Australian so hard that the crowd would have peen glad to have had the fight stopped. McGinley, how- | ever, showed %?od grit. He was knocked outin the sixth. T. Van Buskirk and W. G. Walker, heavy-weights, amused the multitude by the manner in which they sloggea each ofher. Van Buskirk won in the second round. There was a no- | LOST IN THE SOUTHERN SEAS There Is No Hope for the American Schooner Viking. OVERDUE THIRTY DAYS. Captain “Jim” Luttrell Was a General Favorite in This Port, HIS CREW SAN FRANCISCANS. A Well-Known Business Man Was a Passenger on the Vessel for the Round Trip. Another 8an Francisco vessel has to be numbered among the missing. The schooner Viking is now a month overdue and the friends of Captain J. F. Luttrell are more than anxious. “Jum,” asheis known among the merchants and ship- owners, is a cousin of the late Congress- man Luttrell, and is one of the best-known South Sea island traders that makes San FKrancisco his home port. The Viking left here on November 15 last with the following crew: 'Captain, J. F. Luttrell; mate, Joseph Peterson; sec- ond mate, Donald McNae; cook, William Sievers; boy, Kartia; seamen, Peter An- derson, John Johnson and R. Carroll. From San Francisco the schooner went direct to Fanning Island, and there dis- charged a large consignment of goods for King Greig. Some copra was taken aboard and then a start was made for Samoa. On January 4 1ast Captain Luttrell wrote from Apia stating that the next day he would sail for Taputeouea. From that day to this nothing has been heard from either schooner or crew. From Taputeouea the Viking was to bave gone to Tarawa and thence to Kusaie in the Carolines. From the latter point there is a bi-monthly mail service to China, and the arrival of the last two steamers has been anxiously looked for by the agents and owners of the vessel. No news came, however, and now the only hope is that the schooner has goneona coral reef and that the crew has been saved. The Viking had one passenger for the round trip, J. E. Kittle, son of the late J. G. Kittle of the old-time firm of Kittle & Co. He was in ill health and took the voyage in the hope that he would return |ingood_health. Captain Luitrell and he | were old-time friends and they fizured on a very pleasant voyage to the southern scas and back again, “Kusaie, in the Caroline group, was the last point at which the Viking was to touch,’” said J. F. Cunningham, agent of the vessel, yesterday. *“‘Giving her all due allowances, she ought to have been here early in April. I don’t think she has reached there, however, or eise we would | bave heard by the China steamer. If any- | thing happened the vessel has gone on 'a coral reef and the crew will turn up, prob- | ably, on the next Australian steamer. We | don’t care about the loss of the vessel and cargo, but we do want to hear from Jim | Luttrell and his crew."” The Sharpshooter was to have taken the | place of the Viking on the South Sea | Island run, but a new order of things will now be inaugurated. A small schooner will be chartered and her principal work | will be to search for the Viking and her | crew. ‘The Sharpshooter will probably be sent to Honoluln to load sugar, and in the event of Captain Luttrell turning up she will then be put in the island trade. In the meantime, evervbody on the water front is hoping that the Viking will arrive salely in port. An Alleged Wife-Eeater. BERKELEY, CaL, May 1.—George Shermarx, a bricklayer residing on Dela- ware street, near Sacramento, was arrested to-day on a charge of battery, alleged to have been committed on his wife, the war- rant being sworn to by Marshal Lloyd. Sherman has been charged with the same offense before, but Mrs. Sherman has always refused to testify against him. NEW TO-DAY. Go to make up life.
