THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MAY 11, 1896. ° HILBORN'S SUCCESSOR, ® The Point of Greatest Interest to Alameda County Re- publicans. NECESSITY OF PARTY FEALTY Why an Ambulance Proved a Sur- prise to a Large Number of Citizens. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CALL,% 908 Broadway, May 10. The political aspect in this county hav- ing changed so suddenly during the past month, the point of interest now is to dis- cover the suacceeding numbers of the primary men’s programme. Regarded at first somewhat in the light of freaks, the followers of the Pardee-Davis wing have commanded respeci because they have shown that they can fight to a finish and come out of the fray winners. The great- est political surprise since Dalton was elected County Assessor was the seating of the primary delegates. So confident were the old-liners that the Dennison delegates would be seated that when the news was yosted on the bulletin-board of an QOak- land newspaper several of them aroused the proprietor’s ire by refusing to be con- vinced tl:at the bulletin was not a joke. Now everything is upset and, actually, the seating of the primary delegates is only a minor circumstance compared with that which it signifies. It proves the com- piete overthrow of the party who hitherto has had control of the party machinery. All the foundation on which the Mantalen faction built has been knocked from under them and their political siructure is sim- ply a castle in the air. The fact that Man- talen is still chairman of the County Re- publican Committee cuts no figure, be- cause if ever a quorum of the committee can be obtained he would be chairman no longer. He has held office for nearly a year becanse he has justenough votes to block a quorum by their staying away. More complete chaos never existed among the machine men than exists to-day, and, althongh the fight will be renewed at St. Louis, very few doubt what the result will be. The nomination of a candidate for Con- gress is the absorbing feature of the imme- diate future. Although Hilborn's course in Congress was indorsed by the SBecond (or legal Third) District Convention, it is not likely that he will be renominated. The supporters of Judge Frick wer= those of Eli Denison, and, with Denison, Frick rises or falls. The signs of the past two weeks point unequivocally to ex-Mayor W. R. Davis as the coming man. It was somewhat of a surprise when he came to the front in behalf of the primary men. Previous to doing so it was not even known that he wes active in the councils of the reform party. When he did enter the fight he did not leave it till it was won. Before the committee on credentials at Sacramento W. R. Davis made the speech, or, rather, recited the facts, that turned the tide in favor of the primary delegates, and with Pardee proved to be invincible. Now it naturally follows that such fidelity to principle will not be for- gotten, and it is believed by many that W. R. Davis will be nominated for Congress. Such a nomination would certainly do more toward the restoration of *harmony in the Republican ranks in this county than that of any otier man. The recent and pending scandals in the municipal government prove the necessity of harmony within party lines. The fre- quent clashes between officials and the consequent ridicule created among other cities in the Stateare to be deplored. They are hurting the commercial standing of Oakland. Dauring the past week the information has been published broadeast that the city is too poor to maintain her free reading- rooms or to provide sprinkling-carts, when life without them is made abominable. The heads of the departments declare it to be the fault of the dollar tax levy fixed by the Mayor, which they declare 1s too small. Mayor Davie issues tables showing that far .less sums than his levy provides run the departments in citiesmuch larger than Oekland and says that his political ene- mies are creating all the discontent possi- ble for the purpose of throwing discredit on his administration. All these ussertions may be true to some degree, but that is not the poiat that is seen by outsiders. They only see the (ridiculous aspect of affairs and very naturally conclude that the conditions of life in such a city are not of a desirable nature. The different branches of the city government are represented by different partisans and non-partisans, and the political platform of each 1s a thing of itself. Until one party is sufficiently strong in itself to nsure control of the govern- ment the present clownish state of affairs will continue. What would Oakland think if the Mayor of Los Angeles should take a few laborers and repair a bridge after the Council had decided that it be closed? It does not at all follow that Mayor Davie is wrong in doing what he did, but it is patent that the state of affairs whien makes possible such sideshows needs a remedy. The high band with which the old Republican leaders carried things neccssitated a change and the present political olla podrida is the result. Now that thereform leaders are 1n a fair way to com- plete uitimate success, there will soon be reason to hope that Oakland’s municipal government will cease to be a circus. An ambulance from across the bay was in Oakland this week, and it is not stretch- ing the truth to say that it created more interest than a hippodrome. From the easy manner in which the car tracks were crossed and street corners rounded it was evident that a sick person was inside and thiat the driver knew it. Yeople actually stopped and watched the humane vehicle and the humane manner in which it was handled, it was so great a surprise, That it should have been so is not very agree- able to a citizen who takes pride in his city, but it is a fact that although Oakland _claims to be the second largest city in ihe " State, the clumsy patrol wagon is the only ambulance known to the municipality. Unfortunate victims of railroad and street accidents, men and women, are carried in the cruel wagon built for drunks, to the disgrace of the community. It is true that four little stanchions go with the wagon that support a primitive cot and prevent the mutilated individual from lying on the actual boards. Bat if the sun be sending down its greatest heat, or if the snow be falling, it is all the . same to the sufferer—there is noawning or cover to the wagon and no means of protee- tion, More than once the victim of a fearful accident has been taken to the Re- ceiving Hospital on the patrol wagon, covered with empty sacks. When D Dunn was health officer he made a campaign for a municipal ambulance, but be met with no success. Since then little has been heard of the matter and that is why Oakland’s people behold with won- derment the spectacle of an injur d man being humanely treated. 8. W. B. DOG SHOW AT OAKLAND. Entries for the Second Annual Bench Event at the Tabernacle. OAKLAND, CaL., May 10.—The entries for the second annual bench show at the Tabernacle closed to-night, and from the large number of dogs that will be on ex- hibition it is known that the show will be nearly twice as big as last year.

The Ladies of the Forum Preparing for Their Initial Apnual Reception. One of the most delightful and quite the most elaborate affair of the past week was the dinner given by Dr.and Mrs. Martin Regensburger on Thursday last at their Clay-street residence, complimentary to Mrs, Yerkes of Chicago. It was essentially a pink dinner. Itap- peared at though all the gardens of Cali~ fornia had been made to yield their wealth to contribute to the numberless pink roses that were used with artistic effect to decorate the drawing-rooms, corridor and dining hall. Pink roses filled crystal and silver bowls, nodded in costly vases, twined chande- liers and banked the mantels and even the dainty tables of the drawing-room. No set form of decoration was adhered to. On the table the flowers were ar- ranged with that negligent effect that be- trays »t a glance the hand ef the skillful decorator. Pink-shaded lamps and pink candles were used solely for illumination and shed 2 soft light on the tables and through the various apartments on the ground floor. The pink effect was carried out as far as consistent in the menu, an elaborate and delicious one. Covers were laid for twelve. Dr. snd Mrs. Regensburger have earned | quite & reputation as the givers of charming | little dinners, at which one always findsa congenial company and some surprise either in the menu or after dinner entertainment. On Friday afternoon the pupils of Miss Klein gave tchlrmiv aud interesting musicale in the parlors of Mrs. E. W. Hopkins' home, 2027 California street. The parents and iriends of the little performers listened with delight, | and at the conclusion of each number there was & round of applause for each diminutive Paderewski.

WAS NOTHING TO WARRANT IT Dr. Robertson’s Experience Carries Great Weight With Trial Juries. ez, OarrAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcisco CALL,} 908 Broadway, May 10. There are two men in the County Jail who probably would have been free had JohnW.Robertson of Livermore spoken one word in their favor. These men are Ben- jamin Hill, the baseball playercondemned to death for shooting his wife while walk- ing with her to a streetcar on Kirk- ham street, and Louis Muhlner, convicted of the murder of Jennie Lewis. Both of these killers are under the shadow of the gallows, as Judee Frick con- tended that the murder of Jennie Lewis was 80 positively traced to Muhlner that he refused to accept any verdict but that of murder in the first degree. As they sat bowlders at the Squaw Lakes Water and Mining Company’s hydraulic mine near Jacksonville, Or., of which company ex- Governor Thayer of that State is president. The grapple is a new invention, this being the first one built. Its construction cone sists of a castiron cylinder and wrought- iron ring, hung upon five T iron straps, the ring forming the fulcrum for the move- ment of the ten _claws that grapple and suspend the load. These claws are con- nected with the cylinder by ten links at- tached to the piston-rod, so that by ad- mitting water or air under pressure or steam into the cylinder the claws are caused to open and close. The machine is to be suspended from a derrick or crane, on the boom of which are fastened two lines of water or steam pipe; to which are connected two lines of rubber hose, they being attached to the cylinder of the grapple. % ¥ These combined pipe and hose lines are connected to the supply pipe at the base of the derrick mast by a short flexible hose which admits of the turning of the derrick or crane in cither direction. By a unique arrangement of the valves, the machine is made to obey the com- mands of the operator by a simple move- ment of the lever; whilé the element of force in the one pipe_line is entering the cylinder, the other sideisdischarging, and vice versa, so that the operator has the machine under his complete control, though it be many feet away from him. Not alone to miners and quarrymen will this machine prove of great value, but for loading and unloading coal on vessels it will be superior_ to present methods, for loading gravel trains for railroads, or un. loading coal from their cars, For wreckers and all submarine work it is destined to take the lead, as it can be sent to the bed of the ocean, bay or river and grapple any object desired by the Dr. John W. Robertson of Livermore, One Word From Whom Might Have Saved Two Lives From the Gallows. in their cells to-day they conversed on all other subjects but declined to discuss their crimes. Both made the same defense at their trials, that of insanity, and in both cases Dr. Robertson of Livermore was called in to answer the hypothetical question on which their lives depended. The all-important question was pat in each case by District Attorney Church and contzined probably 100 times the word “supposing.’’ It covered all the events of the prisoners’ lives prior to the murder and up to the time that the fatal deeds were actually committed, and concluded with: “Supposing all this, was the pris- oner, at the moment such an act was done, sane or insane, in your judgment, as an expert on insanity ?"’ ‘‘He was perfectly sane,” was the answer in both cases. For over twenty years Dr. Robertson has made a study of insanity. He has some very pronounced ideas on the sabject, and he decleres it to be absolutely farcical for a normally minded man to declare that he was insane for the few seconds necessary to draw a gun and kill his wife, and sane immediately before and after. Dr. Robertson says that the present methods of caring for the insane have a greater tendency to cause than to cure in- sanity, While discussing the subject he said: “Arrest any sane and strong-willed man and lock him in a dark cell; take him into a court filled with the morbidly curious, and, later, send him to jail in a prison van. Finally place him in the hands ot a rough deputy sheriff, his hanas strapped to his side, and take him, openly exposed, from 1ifty to 500 miles, landing him in an asy- lum filled with a thousand other suffering human beings; surround him from the beginning with disgusting odors, horrid sbrieks and fearful sights! *No matter how sane and self-willed he might have been when he left his home, imagine the shock his nervous system will receive by such brutal and unpardonable treatment. But when this very same thing is done to one physically sick, with mind disordered and already full of terrors which do not exist, is it any wonder that be becomes a raving maniac? And is not the condition that would be developed in delicately minded but morbidly depressed woman still more distressing? They are fed on the coarsest food; they are closely confined in some back yard or grim cor- ridor until such time as they either be- come dements and harmless, or, against all rules, recover in spite of their sur- roundings. The worst of it is that this is nobody's fault. It is simply the result of an ignorant policy as to asylum construc- tion, and a disregard of the most general principles of common sense for their care.” Another Business Block. OAKLAND, CAL., May 10.—A big four- story brick block is to be built on the site of the vld synagogue at Thirteenth and Clay streets. The vrozertv ‘was recentl purchased by Julius Abrabamson. Wal- ter Morosco, the theatrical manager of Ban Francisco, endeavored to persuade Mr. Abrahamson to construct a theater building, but after much coasideration he settled nson a business biock, The own- ers of the adjoining with Ab; mp.n’b'tm e rate r. amson, but se; :apt.a ownership will be maintained, ’I?h'; building will a modern structure of brick, stone and iron, and will be one of the finest in the city.

He intends e com; as he lost his train. ez A NEW GRAPPLE. Of Benefit to the Mining and Engineer- ing Industries of the Future. The engineering works of Bennett & Kiee at Haywards have just completed and successfully tested a huge hydraulic grapple, to be used for handling rock and simple movement of a leyer in the hands of the operator above water. The claws can also be so constructed as to form a complete globe when closed, thereby making an effectual and powertu‘l dredge. This machine, under a pressure of sixty ounds to the square inch, will support a ve-ton weight, and when the claws are closed the load is effectually locked, so that it can only be released upon the will and pleasure of the operator. The inventor of this machine has taken the necessary course to protect himself and patents have been applied for. ALAMEDA NEWS, Large Attendance at the Funeral of the Late Dr. Zeyn—The Demo- crats. ALAMEDA, CAL., May 10.—The estima- tion the late Dr. G. C. Zeyn gwas held in was clearly shown by the large number of friends, patients and acquaintances who assembled at his residence this after- noon to pay their respects to his memory. Rev. J. J. Martin of the Banta Clara-ave- nue Methodist Church conducted the ser- vices in the front parlors and delivered a brief but impressive exhortation on the necessity of each one being prepared to be called bence at any time. The pall-bearers were Drs. C. H. Lub- bock ana W. O. Bmith, representing the Board of Health; A. V. Clark and Theo Lydecker, the City Trustees; J. B. Lank- tree, the Board of Education; J. G. Brick, Library Trustees; E. K. Taylor, City At- torney; Oscar Rogers, Chief of Police; F. K. Krautn Jr., Chief of the Fire De- artment; J. E. Barber and J. R.

CORNELL AND BERKELEY SHOTS New Presbyterian Church Formei in South Berkeley—Graduation Themes and Speakers. BERKELEY, Car.. May 10.—The Right Rev. W. F. Nichols, Bishop of California, preached the baccalaureste sermon to the graduating class of the University of Cali- fornia this afternoon at Stiles Hail. The speaker took his text from Matthew v:6— “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” He treated the subject from the historical point of view, and sought to bring out clearly the point that all hu- manitarian movements, a!l reforms, all upheavals of society were nothing more or less than the tangible and visible mani- festations of the spirit ‘‘hungering and thirsting after righteousness.”” The words put in the mouths of Cmsar’s assassins by our great English poet, “liberty and free- dom,” clearly show this spirit. The mighty impulse back of the pen of Abraham Lincoln, co-ordinated with the sanction of future generations, received its momentum from this same source. Jack Cade also put his shoulder to the wheel, and every social ebullition strikes the chord of *‘ambition for righteousness.” In history the constant decentralization in governmental powers has circuamsecribed the powers of the ruler and enlarged those of the subject. “The conflicts of the present are far more over equity and justice than over tue conclusions of strength.”’” From these instances and others the speaker showed that the ‘‘historical hunger” has proved the beatitude. The young men and women of the class were earnestly enjoined that ‘“whatever change their diplomas might make, and they will not make any great change individually, for diplomas are nothing i themselves, through- out their career there will always be that question of hunger and thirst after right- eousness.” He continued: ‘It has an evi- dential value, for conscience is God. Itis that sense of the message for you that I would treat upon this afternoon, and the most cruel kind of injustice is the injustice towards one’s self.’’ New University Calendar.

S8OUTH BERKELEY, UL, May 10.— The South Berkeley Presbyterian Church was organized this morning at Ashby Hall with a membership of thirty-five. At 11:30 ©'clock the sermon of the day was preached toa coniregntion of about 100 by Profes- sor Day from the San Francisco Theolog- ical Seminary. Immediately following the service the organization exercises were opened by Rey. Dr. Ketchum, pastor of the Berkeley First Presbyterian Church. He was as. sisted by Elder A.Ross and Rev.J. F Ackers, the twa other members of th® Presbyterian committee. Twenty of the thirty-five members ordained came from other churches by letter. Twelve of these were from the First Presbyterian of Berke- ley and a number from the First Congre- gational. J. B. Warren also assisted in the ceremonies. Thirteen were rezeived upon confession of faith. Following the ordination of members came the election and installation of elders. Robert Eilison and E. 8. Cooper were elected as elders. For the past year services have been beid at Ashby Hall, with Rev. Mr. Ackers, a recent graduate of the San Francisco Theological Seminary, as pastor. Mr. Ackers was ordained as an evangelist at Elmhurst on last Thursday eveming. It seems probable that he will remain as the permanent pastor of the new flock. Intercollegiate Shooting Match.

CRICKET ACROSS THE BAY The California and Bohemia Clubs Sustain Severe Defeats. Three Centuries and a Half Reached by the Pacific Team—Pocock’s Big Score. The inter-club cricket matches for the Hunter Harrison cup, played yesterday, resulted in victories for the Pacific and Alameda clubs, which are now bracketed for first place. The Alamedas and Bo- hemians met at Alameda. The latter, be- ing sent first to bat, were disposed of for forty-seven runs, two of their best men, West and the incomparable Robertson, failing to score even a single. With such a modest total to buck against, the champion team went in witix confidence, and although but two of its batsmen—Moriarty and Gardner—reached double figures, the opponents’ score was overtopped by twenty-nine runs. In their second though, through lack of time, un- availing effort, the Bohemians did them- selves justice with a score of 124, to which their captain contributed a well-played seventy-six. Had this been their first, in- stead of their second inning, the result— won for Alameda by twenty-nine runs— might have been reversed. The score: BOHEMIAS—FIRST INNING, W.R. West b.

Pocock’s century for the Pacifics was the initial one for the season, and loose bowling was extremely creditable. The victory for the Pacifics by 295 runs could hardly have been wres! had' the Presidio contingent of their adversary’s team been in evidence. Following are the full scores: CALIFORNIAS. C.

Prior Vaughan of Man- chester, England, who arrived in this City from Australia Saturday on his tour of the world, delivered a sermon in the Paul- ists’ church yesterday at late mass. The discourse was eloquent and appealed powerfully to the large congregation, for Prior Vaughan is at once a forcible and impressive preacher. He devoted the firss part of his address to purely religious sub- jects—the immortality of the soul and its character, needs and destiny. Andchang- ing his theme he spoke at considerable length about the mission of English- spexkinf people, the spiritual or lack of spiritual conditions in England, and the novel work of his order—the Gregorians— in Great Britain. He said that 30 per cent of the London people only were church-goers: 23 per cent of the residentsof grimy Sheffield and 26 per cent of those in Liverpool. More than two ont of every three persons in London have no formal dogma or doctrine and probably never set foot in chureh from one end of the year to the other. All the cathedrals, churches and places of worship in London, if filled at every ser- vice in the morning and every service in the evening, could not hold” half of the population of that city, and yet the churches are not half filled as a rule. ‘“The millions of the workers in our mines, the operatives before the blast fur- naces, the artisans in our workshops and the lutm hands are as a rule pagan— theoretically if not morally,” declared the preacher with emphasis. ‘‘The millions of unregenerate masses are more heathen than the pagans to whom St. Augustine and his companions brouxht the news of the Gospel. These are not wholly my own figures or views. Dr. Lee, the Prot- estant vicar of Lambeth is responsible for them. In the rural districts only 18 per cent of the people are baptized.” — HOTEL ARRIVALS. COSMOPOLITAN HOTEL. Wm E Kible, Kans J B Curtin, Sonora H Dean, Chicago C S Towle,'San Jose A O Vurtong.
