16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1896. BURGLARS WHO STUCK AT NOTHING Robbed, Drugged and At tempted Arson in One House. MUCH LOOT SECURED. Holes Cut in Outside Doors and Every Sign of Desperate Workers. THE POLICE ARE NOTIFIED. A. Schmitt’s Residence on Buchanan Street Daringly Entered by Unknown Thieves. A daring burglary was committed at the residence of August Schmitt, 1719 Bu- chanan street, on last Thursday evening, between the hours of 9 and 10 o’clock. Entry was made by the burglars cutting two heles in the lattice door which leads into an alleyway between 1719 and 1717 The Lattice-Door Cut Through by the Burglars. Buchanan street, the house adjoining the one burglarized. Tne necessity of cutting the two holes in the door is accounted for by the fact that in addition to the usual lock which is generally used upon such doors there was on this one a bolt a few inches above the lock. The thieves after having cut the first hole and shooting the lock bolt back found that they could not gain an entrance by reason of the bolt. Consequently it was found necessary to cut another, which was done, and the bolt removed. From here an entrance into the yard was gained and access obtained to the back porch, where the kitchen window was forced open by being pried with a jimmy from the lower sill, where an in- dentation was left by forcing the iron under the window-frame. Througn this window an entry was made, when the kitchen door was un- . locked, through which a free passage into the house was made easy. The thieves evideatly lost no time in set- ting about their work, with an evident de- termination to gut the premises and after- ward set it on fire. This was made mani- fest by their having removed the burners on the gas gets in the dining-room and turning on the gas in full force. The gas .had been ignited, permitting the flame to reach the ceiling, when the paper would easily catcb fire and in time spread to the woodwork and consume the entire build- ing. Beyond all this an attempt to take the life of August Schmitt, the proprietor, whom the burglars had chloroformed in his bed while asteep, adds to the crime a much darker hue and goes to show that neither life or property hadl any value in the estimation of the vagabonds who en- tered Mr. Schmitt’s house. The time of the burglary is accounted for by the movements of the family during the early part of the evening. Martin Schmitt and his sister Miss Erstine, son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Schmitt, had gone to a party, leaving their father .and mother at,home. FEugene, 2 younger son, was attending to his father’s wine- store, on Montgomery street, near Clay. About 8:30 o’clock Mrs. Schmitt went across Buchanan street to visita friend’s house, and Mr. Schmitt went to bed about 9 o'clock. One hour later Eugene re- turned home from the store, and on his arriyal at the house he found that while his key would revolve the bolt in the door- For Tired, Aching, Irritated 3 ching, Fectisa "CUTICURA SOAP inting with CUTL. the great skin cure, and a ano CURA (ointment), This treatment ailays itching and irri- Wtion, " soothies (niammation and | building Jock yet the door would not open. This unusual circumstance, together with the fact that all the rooms in the house were lighted up with a full head of gas, in- cluding the dining-room, caused him to wonder what was the matter. After repeatedly trying bis key and find- ing that he could not enter he kicked on the door three or four times. This no doubt surprised the thieves at their work, as he heard from his position on the out- side what he considered the footsteps of two persons running down the carpeted stairs. Butas the door was not opened by those on the inside he renewed the noise and at the same time called loudly for his father. After a while a response was heard on the inside and Schmitt Sr. came down- stairs and, by removing a heavy parlor chair which had been placed against the door with the back securely placed under the doorknob, he let his son in. No sooner had he gained an entrance than he be- came convinced that something was wrong. His father was in a dazed condi- tion and had found his way downstairs in a sort of a mechanical way without being able to comprehend the situation. An examination of the house by young Schmitt soon convinced him that burglars hed been at work. Every room in the had been yisited and bureau drawers were emptied and the contents strewn npon the carpets. A satchel which was hanging in a closet in his mother’s bedroom s taken out and cut from side to side with a knife. and a purse con‘aining quite a sum of money was taken and the satchel then thrown to one side. The cutting of the leather was necessary to get at the contents asit had been locked. In Mr. Schmitt’s sister’s room every piece of jewelry that belonged to her, ex- cept what she had on her person, was missing. An examination of the dining- room showed the evil intentions of the in- truders where they had removed the burn- ers of the gas jets and permitted the flames to reach the paper ceiling, which would in a short time prove disastrous. After taking a hasty survey of the depre- dations committed Fugene tried to get some account of the whereabouts of his mother and other members of his family, but any attempt to gain this information from his father was futile, as that individ- ual had no recollection of what occurred and hardly knew where he was or with whom he was conversing. It was quite evident that he had been chloroformed by the burglars when they entered the room where he was in bed. The police were notified by telephone and Officer Clancy soon put in an appear- ance and took a survey of the premises, leaving the usual caution not to give any information to the press, an injunction which in part was tried to be observed by Martin Schmitt, who when seen last night by a CaLL representative said: “It was simply nothing.”’ When asked if he considered a burglary, an attempt to burn the house and the chloroforming of his father as nothing, he shrugged his shoulders and only an- swered: *“Well, we don’t wish any no- toriety.” By an oversight the thieves failed to find a gold watch belonging to Mrs. Schmitt, which she values very highly. She accidentally left it on the mantei- piece, under & mat, concealed from view. Itis supposed that an exit was made in the same manner as had been the entry, as no signs could be found of the thieves having got away over the back fences. This is not the first crime that has been committed in this locality within a short period. The houseadjoining Mr. Schmitt’s —1721—was entered about two months ago in a similar manner as wasits neighbor on Thursday night, and the premises ran- sacked from top to bottom. STANDS BY SPRECKELS Republican Executive Council on McKinley, the Plaiform and Suffrage. The Councii Will Have Permanent Headquarters and Boom Organi- zation Work. The Republican Executive Council held a comparatively brief but an important and spirited regular meeting in Judge Bahrs' courtroom last evening under the guid- ance of President M. Cooney and Secre- tary Oscar Tolle., The council made three declarations on motion of 8. M. Williams, all of which were adopted with applause, especially the first ore, which was as follows: The Hon. William McKinley of Ohio is the choice of the Republican Executive Council of Californie for President of the United Siates, and in the event of his nomination the council shall uze all legitimate means and make all nonorable efforts tor his election. The other expressions which were put in the form of declarations rather than reso- lutions were as follows: The council heartily approves the platform of principles adopted by the Republican State Convention recently held in the city of Sacramento. The Women’s Republican State Central Club of California is entitled to much credit for the work performed in the interest of universal suffrage in this State. Then the following resolution was adopted with hearty applause: Resolved. That this council has the utmost and abiding confidence in the action of Jobn D. Spreckels as the foremost leader of the Republican party 1n this City and County. The council will favor regular and per- manent headquarters. Last evening Oscar Tolle, chairman of the committee on head- quarters, reported progress and the com- mittee was given until the next meeting, by which time a selection will be made. The Supreme Court building and two or three other central locations are under consideration. The Republican Executive Council, as most_Republicans know, is composed of two delegates from the affiliated clubs. The council now has perfected the organi- zation of clubs in all of the Assembly dis- tricts of the City, and clubs in Qakland, Alameda and Sacramento are represented in it. From now on the work of organiza- tion will proceed steadily throughout the State, and when the National campaign opens after the St. Louis Convention tie organization will proceed to whoop things up.

THEY ARE TO START A FARM. Interview With the Mayor’s Secre- tary, Taylor Rogers, Concern- ing the Matter. Commander and Mrs. Booth-Tucker, the consul, accompanied by Major Lewis and Major Nolan, left last evening for the north—Portland, Tacoma They expect to be in New York not later than two weeks from date. They go away well satisfied wich the Salvation Army of the Pacific Coast,as well as with their own labors here. Despite the continued illness of the con- sul and the hurry of the commander inci- dent to the brevity of his visit they have accomplished much. These handicapping circumstances submerged them with busi- ness. They have successfully wrestled with it and have gone away to other fields with the jubilant consciousness that their soldiers are loyal and that their officers are steadfast and may be trusted to push the work with renewed energy. Yesterday morning the commander and consul held a meeting with the officers and they came away especially pleased with it, with the enthusiastic assurances and Seattle. | girls make but 75 cents or §1aday. It may be true that some new hands make only that much, but when their week is ended they don't have to pay back part of their wages for the steam furnished to | run their machines nor for repars to oid, worn-out machines, as in some of the white factories, where girls semetimes have to pay to learn, and where they are charged 50 cents for motor power and 5 cents for two needles, so that when the week is up the work of new hands is virtually done for nothing for some time. No such practice prevails in this Chinese factory, and whatever work a girl turns out she is paid for, and no one begrudges her what she gets. *1t is nov true, either, that Chinese keep, tally of the girls’ work, for no Chinese are allowed to mix with the white girls. As for the Chinese bosses themselves they might serve as examples to the white em- plovers, for they always act in a perfectly rentlemanly way towara the girls, which is more than one can say of the white em- ployers, who seldom show even respect for the girls whom they employ. _“But to return to the question of wages: girls in the Chinese factory make from $5 to $12 a week, according to how industri- ous and expert they are. Nor is it true that we are annoyed by the striking Chinamen.” PIONEER WILLIAM'S DEATH, Built Early Ferry-Boats and Steamers for the Southern Pacific, Benjamin Franklin Williams, the pio- neer shipbuilder of the Southern Pacific Company, died at his home, 226 Michigan street, Potrero, last night. B. F. Williams entered the service of the company many yearsago, and con- structed most of the ferry-boats and many of the steamers running up the river. Nearly all of this work was done at the slips in West Oakland. Some yearsago he moved to this City, but the greatest number of his friendsare in Oakland. The deceased was a native of Wilkes- barre, Pa., 67 years of age. He leaves a widow and one son, F. D. Williams. He will be buried to-day. THLBOT CLIFTONS | HORSES ATTACHED. The Sheriff in Possession of Some Blooded Equiges. MY LORD FAILED TO PAY A Judgment Taken by Default Leads to a Stern Legal Process. HIS PROMISE WAS HIS BOND. A Visit to'a Sporting House Gets the Noble Scion Into a Legal Taugle. Talbot Clifton—his lordship with $60,- 000 a year and an appetite for horseraces and other things—has fallen afoul of the law again, and as a result four blooded horses—the remnant of his once extensive stable—are in the hands of Sheriff Whelan and will remain there until a little ac- S Commander and Consul Booth-Tucker, Whose Visit to the Coast Has Given a New Impulse to Salvation Army Affairs. | From sketchs made by a “Call™ artist.] of support from them. The consul was in better form than at any other time since coming to the coast, while the commander was at his very best. A number of promotions among the field and staff officers were announced and each was greeted with volley after volley of hal- lelujahs. The promotions were as follows: Sta# Captain William McIntyre to be major. Adjutant Sam Wood to be staff captain. snsign J. R. McFee to be adjutant. Captain Bill Day to be ensign. ptain W. C. Bourn to be ensign. Captain William Campbell to be ensign, Cavtain Charles Taylor to be ensign. Captain Manhart to be ensign. Captain May Sprague to be ensign. Captain May Dreis to be ensign. | | George S. Montgomery to be captain. Lieutenant May Neuman to be captain. Lieutenant Minnie Wise to be captain. These are the first promotions made in the army in the United States since the Boott-Tuckers took command. A preat number of promotions will be made all along the line, but it so happens circum- stances have been such that these on the Pacific Coast are the first to be made. Staff Captain MclIntyre is, or has been, Brigadier Keppel’s secretary and righte hand man. Ensign McFee has been in charge of the social wing of the army, under Mrs. Kep- pel, for seveial years, His wife advances with him intherank. Itisnotatalllikely that promotion from ensign to adjutant means a shifting of the field of labor, al- though change is the order of the army. The meeting with the officers was held at 9:30 o’clock in the morning and later Commander Booth-Tucker wisited the oflice of Mayor Sutro and in the absence of the Mayor had a long talk with his secre- tary, Taylor Rogers, concerning a plan for the prosecution of the farming scheme which the army bas had in mind for a long time. It is proposed to secure a large tract of land upon which men otherwise unable to secure employment may be put to work to earn their living, tools as well as the land being provided. This is the first step 1n this direction in this country, and it is proposed that it be followed by the other steps that have already been taken in Engiand—that of establishing workshops of various kinds in the City for the unem- ployed. Previous to his departure last evening Commander Booth said: “I have been well repaid for my visit here, although my coming was brought by the sickness of my wife. The enthusiasm that I find among the officers and soldiers of the coast 18 grntityinfi to the last degree. We are overwhelmed with applications for commissions — young men acd women eager to commit their Jives to the prosecu- tion of the work. Instead of a great breach and setback I think we are to wit- ness an era of great progress in the army. *Is there any indication of Ballington Booth’s returning to his allegiance? I cannot say as to that. Certainly the pleading of his father must affect him. But he seems to be going on with his work, and we are certainly going on with ours. We shall go ahead as though nothing had happened so far as the prose- cution of the work is concerned, although never ceasing to pray for the return of those who have strayed.” The consul talked much in the same strain, expressing great gratitication with tbe condition of the army as she found it, and regretting that Ler health had not permitted her to see more. A FACTORY GIRL TALKS. Declares That Working for a Chinese Firm Is Preferable to Employment in & White Factory. One of the girls employed in the blouse- waist factory of the Chinese firm of Hue Kai & Co., 127 Clay street, denies that girls are paid less than the Chinese formerly at work there, and who were replaced with white girls when they struck for increased pay. She ascribes the report to the jealousy of the owners of other factories where white girls are employed. This is her story: “'Girls working in factories owned by white men have been almost driven into despair by the treatment of their em- ployers. **1t is stated that in this Chinese factory AMONGTHE LABOR UNIONS Trades Council to Again Protest Against the Funding Bill. The American Federation of Labor Takes a Slap at the Politi- cal Alliance. Several interesting matters were con- sidered last evening at a meeting of the San Francisco Labor Council. A letter was received from Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, which read: We desire to inform you and your organiza- tion that the dues of the central labor unions and of the State Federation have been reduced to $10 each per year, pay: stead of $25, as formerly; have a representation fin t annual conven- | tion of the American Federation of Labor an additional %10 each shall be paid. This law takes effect May 1, and we would request that all dues owed up to that date be promptly paid, 50 that there will be no confusion. We hope by this reduction we will be able to bring together a larger number of central bodies and thus add to the power of or- ganized labor throughout the country. * > * It was decided to pay the annual dues— $20—to the American Federation of Labor. In anothef letter from Gompers it was stated that at the New York convention of the American Federation of Labor it was voted to make special efforts to organize the journeymen barbers throughout the country, and the writer askea that co- operative efforts be made in the same di- rection in San Francisco. Chairman Burns stated that it would be out of the question in this City with the present barbers’ unions, 1 which nearly all of the bosses were members, which was probibited in the National federation laws. In another letter from the same source it was stated: ‘“We congratulate you on so successfully meeting the attempt to sup- plant your body and destroy the labor | movement of your City.” This was a slap at the Tradesand Labor Alliance, which attempted to affiliate with the council and | draw organized labor into politics. Reports from the apions show that iron work is dull. Only about balf of the Theatrical Employes’ Union members are at work. The delegate from the Typographical Union reported that in consequence of the large number of typesetting machines the number of unempfizyed printers is increas- ing. The printers will soon start an eyen- ing newspaper in the interest of labor. The Sailors’ Union delegate reported trade temporarily dull, as the ship-owners were waiting for a raise in freights. Delegate Hober called attention to the fact that 8 wholesale hardware house was about to get a large catalogue of tin wares, and propose to get the work done by the Pacific Press, a non-union printing office in Oakland. It was decided toappoint acommittee from the council and a commit- tee from the Typographical Union to ask the firm to give. the work to a union firm. J. Flannigan of Anaconda, 8 member of the Montana Trade and Labor Council, was introduced, and expressed great sur- prise that there were not more delegates present. He said that in Montana the working-card was a success in all trades, Even storeclerks belonged to unions and were compelled to have their union cards. Journeymen maintained the best of wages, and trades-unionism was a success. In several instances the unions have had hard fights, but all_ were successful, as all the men stood together. The secretary was instructed to draw up suitable resolutions protesting against the passage of the funding bill to be presented at the next mesting for indorsement by the council. The resolution, the second from the Council, will be forwarded to the &ncific Coast representatives at Washing- n. ble quarterly, in- d if such bodies count that Collector Rauer holds against my lord is settled. One night several months ago, during one of his fits of jovial hilarity, Talbot and a coterie of boon companions wan- dered up Mason street to a sporting re- sort in the 100 block in search of rest and recreation. They apparently found it, and all at Talbot’s expense, for when morning dawned and a string of cabs bore the party to its lodgings the scion of nobility had piled up a bill of $142. Talbot had been out with *White Hat” McCarthy and some other horsemen dur- ing the previous evening wining and din- ing, and his purse being somewhat de- pleted he was compelled to tell the man- ager of the house that he would pay later. Generally with bloods of Clifton’s caliber “later’’ means the next night or a week at the outside, and his word was his bond, as in fact it always is, if he desires 1t in the tenderloin. However, Talbot’s in- terpretation of ‘‘later” is sometimes sev- eral months, and so it was in this case. His creditor ' waited patiently nd sent one -or two polite notes, but the coin came not, and at last in despair sent for the collector of debts sometimes characterized in inventories as ‘nominal,”” and requested him to procure the long- sought money. His effort to brine Clif- ton *'to the center’” by means of notes and personal calls was no more successful than the manager’s haa been, and asa last re- sort suit was brought in the Justices' Court. Clifton did not answer the complaint, for he seldom pays any attention to such trifles, and Rauer obtained a judgment by default. Even when notified that an execution would be taken out on the judgment unless the amount was paid his lordship paid no attention and after waiting a reasonable time Rauer decided to attach the horses, it being deemed probable that Clifton would rather produee the coin to reol;;se them than any of his other worldly goods. A Deputy Sheriff called at the Golden Gate stables yesteraay with the necessary x{tpers and took possession of Kitty L, aud, an unnamed mare and the bay stallion Santa Claus. ARTS AND CRAFTS.
