10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1896. T0 TAX THE BOYS AN XA YEAR, Regents of the University Talk of Imposing Such Charge. MORE MONEY IS NEEDED Governor Budd Says the Tax on Berkeley Boys Will Raise a Howl AFFILIATED COLLEGES SITE. Mayor Sutro Extends the Time for Beginning Work—The Extension Accepted. The Board of Regents of the State Uni- wversity held an interesting session yester- day afternoon at the Mark Hopkins Insti- tute of Art. A proposition to tax each student of the university $10 a year to keep up the high pressure of eaucation met with determined resistance and was de- ferred. Mayor Sutro’s extension of time on his deed of land for the Affiliated Col- leges was considered and practically ac- cepted. The regents attending the session were Governor Budd (presiding), Hallidie, Mil- ler, Denicke, Martin, Houghton, Wallace, Kellogg, Black, Reinstein, Slack, Chase, Rodgers, Phelps and Marye. Secretary Bonte and Attorney Mhoon also attended the session. Judge Wallace, in discussing the ap- proval of minutes of a previous session, ex- plained that according to the law of 1868 creating the university, and also in the constitution of 1879, the regents were not bound to observe laws of the Legislature relative to the construction of public build- ings. Eo\'emor Budd and Judge Wallace ex- changed views on this subject, and the regents finaily decided to_refer the ques- tion to Attorney-Generai Fitzgerald. On motion of President Kellogg it was decided that cadet uniforms should be procured in the same manner that other articles for the university are obtained. Professor Le Conte was granted a leave of absence without loss of pay from August 10, 1896, to January 10, 1897. Tne regents acknowledged by resolution the receipt of valuable books for the de- partment of jurisprundence. The books were donated by the Bancroft-Whitney Company and several graduates of the university. Secretary Bonte read the report of the finance committee. A recommendation was contained in the report that an inci- dental tax of $10 per term should be charged to students. The committee cou!d not submit the budget until that proposition was settled. 3 George T. Marye, from the committee on internal administration, presented a sup- plemental report. position is taken that some provision for increased revenue must be made. Governor Budd—How much will this tax increase the revenue? Regent Marye — About $16,000 per an- num. ernor Budd—Is there no wav of cur- tailing expenses to save this amount? I think the putting of a tax on students will have a bad effect on the publicat large. Regent Marye proceeded with the read- ing of his supplemental report setting forth that the tax was absolutely neces- sary, as an increase of the revenue was de- manded. Lignt was needed for the grounds and it was necessary to keep the ibrary open in the evenings. There were many incidental expenses to be met. Balaries could not be reduced withount danger of losing the pest men in the ser- vice of the university. Governor Budd—It does seem to me that a university with $300,000 a year to expend ought 1o be able to get along with- out putting a $10 tax on students. It seems a shame to levy a tax of that kind after the public support which has been given to the institution for so many years. In the course of the discussion the Gov- ernor mentioned that the valuation of State property for 1895 was $1,133,282,980. The indications were that the valuation this year woulid be less, and that another high tax levy would follow. It seemed to him that the regents should better appeal to the Legislature for $16,000 extra than to levy a tax on the students. It wili hurt us abroad and drive students to Stan- ford if we make the boys and girs at Berkeley go down in their pockets to pay this tax. Judge Wallace said he would be sorry to see a tax of any sort placed on a boy going to the university to get something which the State had provided for. General Houghton said the tax was not excessive and did not indicate extrava- gance. Necessity compels the regents to raise more money than has beeen pro- vided. Arthur Rodgers advised postponement of the subject. He believed that the Gov- ernor’s suggestion to ask the Legislature for more money should be adopted. The knowledge that students are numerous would greatly influence the Legislature. Regent Hallidie presented objections to delay. He said: “The budget cannot be delayed. I cansee no other way out of the difficulty than the incidental charge. If we have 800 students we will get $16,000." Governor Budd—1f you put the tax on students you will raise the biggest howl ever heard in California. Genera! Houghton—That’s what we want to raise. The needs of the university will then be understood. Governor Budd—You will hear trom the Ban Joaquin Valley if students of the university are taxed. The difficuity of getting future appropriations from the State will be increased. Regent Reinstein, who is strong on special meetings and broad discussions, wanted the whole subject of finance de- ferred for special consideration in a broad way. (}’hher regents, who fancied that the dis- cussion had already acquired sufficient breadth and length, were willing that the matter should go to & committee on ways and means. Judge Wallace insisted that a commt- tee on ways and means should be ap- pointed, and when the motion prevailed Governor Budd—moved, perhaps, by an impulse to reward Reinstein for modesty— made that young regent chairman of the important committee. Regents Rodgers and Black were named as members of the committee. At the conclusion of the finance com- mittee report Judge Wallace announced that a letter from Mayor Sutro was in his possession. The closest attention was paid- to the reading of the following document: 8AN FRANCISCO, May 2, . To the Regents of the State Umfivcr:?ty: llgnméhe deed for the Affiliated College site executed by me to the regents of the University of Califor- nia dated October 8, 1895, and recorded in the Reccrder’s office of the City and County of San Francisco on the same day, was nuczed the condition that work on the college buildings must be commenced within six months, and to the extent of the appropriation therefor, com- pleted within five years from the date of the deed. Thatcondition has not yet been com- lied with inasmuch as the work on the bufld- g has not been commenced although the six nionlh‘; from the date of my deed to you have elapsed. Tfli:‘ breach in one of the conditions of the deed results in the reversion to me of the title 1o the site unless I grant an extension of time within which you were required by the deed to commence work. You have requested that the time provided in the deed for the commencement of the work be extended six months, This extension of six months additional to that set out in the deed I hereby grant you. Should you fail to commence work within the six months additional, that is on or before the 8Bth'of October, 1896, then it is understood that the title to the property reverts to me. All the other terms, conditions and covenants of the deed heretofore made are continued 1n full force as thereto made. Respectfully, ADOLPH SUTRO. Regent Rodgers moved that the instru- ment submitted by Mr. Sutro be accepted and placed on record. Governor Budd--It should have been made as an acknowledged instru ment. Judge Wallace—It is a waiver in writing. Mr. Rodgers spoke highly of Mayor Sutro’s generosity. Regent Albert Miller np(Frecinted Mayor Sutro’s intentions and had no Joubt the; would be carried out if the donor lived, but in the event of Sutro’s death many complications with his heirs might ensue. General Houghton commended Mr. Sutro’s generosity. Governor Bndd — I recognize Mayor Sutro’s donation as a very generous gift, and ordinanly I would not look a gift horse in the mouth. Now, gentlemen, 18 not Mayor Sutro as much benefited as we are by that gift? I went over that mag- nificent site—I acknowledge that it is a superb site—with Mayor Sutro. He was anxious to have this State building, cost- ing $250,000, erected on this site, adjacent to other land which he owns. It was a matter of mutual benefit, and 1 should have voted for the site independent of his liberal offer. When the matter was about to come before this board I was sick and absent. yet so anxious was he for theadop- tion of the site tnat a tug was tendered to bring me to San Francisco. The” Governor referred to Mayor Sutro’s attacks on himself and other regents, in which it was charged that the orders of the octopus intluenced the board. The Governor suggested that all of the offers made by Mayor Sutro should be carried out. As Governor of the State he would puarantee that the Legislature would pass an act maintaining the Sutro library free of taxes if the Mayor would deed it to the State as he nad promised. If Mayor Sutro is willing to enter into any agreement placing the Sutro library in possession of the State or City let him place that agree- ment in our possession. Judge Wallace said if the Sroposifion which the Governor made could be carried out the last objection of Mr. Sutro would be removed. In twenty-four hours he would deed the library site were he satis- fiea on the subject of taxes. Regent Phelps said he voted to accept this land because he believed it was the best site obtainable. “Ishall vote now to accept it. I do not think any regent.” said Mr. Hallidie, “was influenced in the acceptance by the offer of the library site. We have pro- ceeded unfortunately with Mr. Sutro. He seems to have been nettled at our course. If our attorney and law committee now as- sure us that there can be no question of title we should accept the gift. It isa mag- nificent donation.” Judge Slack suggested some amend- ments to Mr. Rodgers’ resolution accept- ing Mr. Sutro's suggestion. Other suggestions were made and. it seemed to be the purpose of the board to attach many conditions and letters to the Sutro letter and put them all on record. Governor Budd insisted that if the re- gents could accept a site, agreeing to put up buildings, they could also accept land on agreement to pay taxes. Judge Wallace, with some animation and lucidity, said: *“This Sutro letter does not require any accepiance or any- thing of the sort. It is & plain waiver, and we have the title now as clear as ever. We may embarrass ourselves by putting in conditions of acceptance. ILet us simply record the facts in our minutes. That is sufficient.” The question was then referred to Attor- ney Mhoon, and to-day perhaps the rec- ord for the minutes will be prepared, The letter may also be recorded. Plans for the affiliated colleges buildings will be sent to Sacramento at once for sub- mission to the Governor, Secretary of State and Treasurer. Regent Phelps, President Kellogg and Governor Budd were authorized to prepare a list of standing committees for the en- suing year. Next Tuesday the Wilmerding school site will be taken up again. The secretar: was directed to invite William Alvord, Thomas J. Lamb, Herman Schussler and E. A. Fargo to attend ‘the session next Tuesday. FOUR MEN'S BRUTALITY, Revolting Story of Crime Told by Three Young Girls. A Colored Man Arrested and War. rants Out for the Arrest of Three Sailors. A colored man known as “Black Dia- mond,” who lives with a white woman on Sherwood place, is in the tanks at the City Prison and warrants have been issued for the arrest of three sailors belonging to the United States gunboat Bennington. The crime for which the four men will be tried bears a strong resemblance to that involved in the North Beach scandals that roused so much publicindignation against Captain Lane and other old men several months ago. Annie Doherty, 16 years of age, living at 14 Sherwoed place: Katie Langshaw, 15 years of age, 23 Sherwood place, and An- nie Otis, 14 years of age, living at 63 Ship- ley street, are the victims of the four men. According to the story told by the girls to Policeman Ryan they were playing on the sidewalk near “Bchk Diamond’s” house Sunday afternoon when he called to them to come inside. The Langshaw girl had done housework for him, so they had no hesitation in going into the honse. They were taken to a rcom upstairs where the three sailors were drinking. The girls were kept there for severaf hours and criminally assaunlted by the four men. *“Black Diamond” threatened them with all sorts of punishment if they related their experience. The girls told their parents, who notified the police, and Ryan arrested the colored man. District Attorney Barnes was consulted as to the proper course to pursue regard- ing the three sailors, and he communi- cated with the commancant of the navy- vard. ‘No objection will be made to sur- rendering the three men as soon can be identified. The three g.rle were examined yesterday morning at the Receiving Hospital by Dr. Stice, and are now in the care of Matron Gilmore at the City Prison. . A few weeks ago the wiite woman who lives with “Black Diamond” as his wife attempted to commit suicide by swallow- ing poison. When discover she had one of his photographs clutched in her right hand and left a letter that it should be buried with her if she died. The “Black Diamond’s” name is F. H. Wath. The police give bim the reputation of being a vicious character. —————— Died From Heart Disease.

A POWERFUL LECTURE. The Speaker Scores Secret So- cieties as a Menace to the Public. MUCH ENTHUSIASM IS SHOWN. Rabbi Levy and James H. Barry Make Brief Addresses to the Vast Concourse. At 7:45 o'clock yesterday evening the ticket office at the Metropolitan Temple was closed. The ball was already crowded to suffocation, and the committee on ar- rangements decided that it would be wrong to sell tickets to people who could make no use of them. The ladies of the American Woman's Liberal League were in high feather. The Very Rev. Peter C. Yorke, Chancellor of the archdiocese, was to deliver the last of his course of lectures on civil and religious liberty, and the occasion gave ample ex- cuse, to their way of thinking, for the fes- tal aspect of the temple’s interior. The stage was banked with calla lilies, which also festooned the pipes of the great organ and garlanded the speaker’s desk. The National colors floated everywhere and an air of enthusiastic patrlous'mhz)er- vaded the vast assemblage. Rabbi M. 8. Levy of Congregation Beth Israel pre- sided. %5 . The programme opened with the sing- ing of Pinsuti’s beautiful tenor solo, ‘“But I Was Ureaming,” given with charming expression by J. F. O'Brien. with piano accompaniment by Miss Mary F. Giorgiani, organist of the old cathedrsl. Miss Alice Condon followed in a humor- ous recitation by way of a presentation speech to the Rev. Father Yorke, to whom amid much applause she handed a gayly decorated broom ‘‘to sweep the A. P. A.'s out of the way with."” The next number was a romanza by Bellenghi, which was admirably rendered by Mme. Angelini Casati. The Rev. Dr. Levy made a very brief ad- dress, in the course of which he alluded to the unique spectacle of Rabbiand Cath- olic priest side by side in a public hall. In burning words he called upon all patriotic Americans to do their best to break down any barriers which ignorance, bigotry and prejudice may have raised between Ameri- can citizens, He said he could see no reason for a broom being presented to Father Yorke, since that gentleman had made so clean a sweep of his adversaries already without the aid of a broom. “I am very sorry to differ with the good rabbi,” said Fatber Yorke, when he had been introduced; ‘‘but when it comes to a ‘ciean sweep’ I have to take an exception. Not all !he%moma on earth could sweep some of our adversaries clean. “But another thing ought to be men- tioned. The first clerical condemnation of the A. P. A. n this City came from the Jewish pulpits. How fitting it is, then, that a rabbishould meet with us here to- night!” Father Yorke then commenced his lec- ture. After reviewing the ground covered by the first four lectures of the course he spoke in part as follows: ‘“We have seen the glimmerings of the dawn, the entrance ot" the light and the beginning of the day of liberty, and now we stand in the full, glorious noontide of freedom. Those of us who are Catholics imagine that we have a right to enjoy this state of affairs. We further claim the right to stand on a level with all our fellow-citi- zens, asking for no favors, and also asking that no unjust discrimination be exercised against us. But this is just what certain self-styled patriots object to. They would bave us thrust down and away, as though we were something unmentionably vile. “We hear it said that the American Catholics are all right, but that there are Catholics and Catholics, The Pope, the Ultramontane, the Jesuit— particularly the disguised Jesuit—and above all the dreadful hierarchy, unite to form a bogie man so borrible as to strike terror to the stoutest heart. “What, now, is the attitude of Catholic theology and philosophy regarding those who follow other forms of religious be- lief? In the first place, the Catholic’s religious views are beliefs, not opinions. And s0 sure are we that we have the truth we contend that there can be no question of errorin the church’s teaching; or, in other words, that the Catholic church is infallible in matters of faith and morals, Now, since this is the belief of Catholics, we would be very disingenuous if we said one church was as good as any other. “Another point I wish to make is that man has no right to array himself against the truth, when that truth has once been made known to bim. Above all things stands principle. The man who will go back on his princivles and espouse evil knowingly is, to Americans, a thing ac- cursed. “This American idea is only the Catho- lic doctrine that mun must be true to him- self and to his God. Adherence to prin- ciple—tnat is the cornerstone of Catholic truth, as it is also of true American citi- zenship. ‘““Yet how dreadful are the misrepresen- tations of Catholic truths heard on every side. Particularly in the matter of salva- tion are these misrepresentations most grewsome. *‘Let it be once and for all understood that the Catholic church teaches that God’s judgments are proportioned to the lights and graces which each individual soul may have received. Even St. Thomas Aquinas, who has been quoted on this platform as the greatest of all connoisseurs of fricasseed heretic, sustains this teachin, and proves that any other view would cal! in ‘iue'nion the justice of God. ‘It is a crime in the eyes ot the church, not sanctioned by any theologian, how- ever bloodthirsty, for a Catholic to believe that any soul is'in eternal torments. The church keeps to the charitable view ex- pressed in the old saw: Between the saddle and the ground, Mercy sought and mercy found. ““The Catholic church believes in the un- covenanted mercies of God, which like the genial showers of spring fall alike upon the just and the unjust. “‘Now as to the slavery of the Catholic. ‘We are told that conscience cats no figure with him; that all he has to do is to obey blindly. in order to be a first-class Catholic. How foolish an assertion! The Catholic church does believe in an absolute sov- ereign over the souls of its members, and that sovereign1s conscience. Busenbaum, an old theologian and a Jesuit to boot, says that where a non-Catholic’s conscience does not urge him to enter the Catholic church he cannot be held oblized to do so. If from childhood he has been taugnt that the Catholic church falsifies the word of God and corrupts the souls of men the same Busenbaum opines that such a one could hardly address a Catholic on re- liqiolu matters with a safe conscience. “As to the doctrine of the church in re- lation to religious toleration, it is laid down in the constitution of the United States. One may believe what he pleases, but ffreedom of religious belief gives no one a right to molest others. It does not give me the right to stand here and abuse the religious practices of my Jewish friend, nor to ridicule the baptism of the Baptists or the camp-meetings of the Methodists. ‘“Yet we have heard ministers call our ancient church the ‘mother of harlots’; we have heard Catholic bodies stigxutizeci as being lower than the women of the town; we have heard God's ministering angels, the Sisters of Charity, called every- thing unuiterable and vile. Yet, if some Catholic loses patience and tries to defend the honor of his mother and his sisters, then the cry of religous intolerance is raised and the Catholics are called ‘enemies of free speech.” ‘‘One more question needs answer, and that is: What is the relation between the Catholic Charch and polities? The moral law—the iaw of honor, truth and justice— binds in political life, as it does in the life of the soul. Beyond this we look for noth- ing. We believe that religion and politics are both good in their respective places, but we do not believe in mixing the two, sinze the mixture is seldom a happy one. A priest in politics makes a bad mess of his religion, as a rule, and a worse mess of his politics. 3 *Let the San Francisco clergy be judged by their record. For half a century we have had priests and bishops in this Catholic City of 8t. Francis and never have we heard of clerical interference in our politics. But if we look toward the dis- senting preachers what a whirlpool of po- litical intrigue we are forczd to contem- plate! And these ministers have charge of cultured congregations! Let us pay our respects to them. Their history dur- ing the past two years teems with infamy. “‘But, thank God, the Protestant preach- ere do not represent Protestants. The Protestant people have more than once risen in their might and thrust forth from theirchurches teachers who were unworthy | to stand in the pulpit. The Protestants of this City are as anxious as the Catholici for peace and concord. Protestants have rebuked sowers of discord more than once. “I have tried in my own way to give WANTS NO FALSE PRICES Why Secretary Morton Says He Opposes Protection and Silver.

Accuses a Bogus Spanish Nobleman of Stealing Her Jewelry. Louis Weiser met Beatrice Weise of 37 O'Farrell street at the recent Hungarian ball. He told her he was a Spanish noble- man and his wealth was almost un- bounded. She was fascinated by the dash- ing nobleman and invited him to call upon her. He did so, and on Monday, while with him, she had occasion to do sothe business, and gave him the keys of her room. She did not see him again, and yester- day morning she discovered that all her jewelry was missing. It consisted of a diamond locket, diamond pin, amethyst ring and turquoise locket. She hurried to JudFe Joachimsen’s court and swore to a complaint charging Weiser with_grand larceny. The police found that Weiser was employed by Rosenblum & Abrams, Seventh and Market streets, and thai he had in all probability left the ‘(i,‘ity, as he had not been seen since Mon- ay. —_————— Garber Continues His Argument.

It is not probable that the railroad advccate Wwill conclude his argument before the end of the present week. living. He says that one of the striking thinegs of his frontier experience is the recollection that Charles Dualey Warner was the flagman of the first surveying party that ever came through there. Mr. Morton has been a newspaper man as well as a farmer. He was one of the owners of the Nebraska City News, the oldest paper in Nebraska, and ran it for many years. His first devil, as he told yesterday, was John W. Freeman, now of Woodland, who owns a large ranch there and is widely known. Sam Davis of the Carson Appeal wasalso for atime a reporter on the News. Secretary Morton has many interesting reminiscences of those days and told stories regarding all the people to which allusion has been made. He also talked of the tariff, silver, the possibility of Cleveland running again, and gave out his object in coming West. “Ihad never been farther west before than Salt Lake,” he said, “nor jarther south than Deming. Ihada curiosity to see California. 1 came as the guest of my son, Paul Morton, who is third vice-presi- dent and general traffic manager of the Santa Fe Railroad. Of course, I want to see what I can of the agricultural and horticultural interests. I have been greatly impressed with the agricultural resources. “I think the prospects are good in the United States for the 1896 crop. Winter wheat may be a little short, but spring wheat promises well. I suppose that agri- culture will fally maintain its former posi- tion. An average of more than 70 per cent of the entire exports for the last five years has come from the farm. “As to whether Mr. Cleveland will run fora third term or not I can’t tell.

He spent over an hour examining the va- rious products of the State and, although he inspected the California exhibit at At- lanta last year, heexpressed great surprise that the resources of California were so extensive. Secretary Morton was particularly at- tracted by the splendid exhibit that has just arrived from Kern County. This col- lection was made by W. 8. Tevis, and by him presented to Kern County. It comprises all of the cereals, garden and orchard products and minerals and precious ores, all of a superior quality. In the collection is a section of a castor-bean shrub over 12 inches in diameter, a desert cactus 12 feet high, from which a fine quality of paper is made, and a California eagle that measures 7 feet 4inches from tip to tip. To-morrow the State Board of Trade will hold its formal opening. Se:retary Morton and Governor Budd will be pres- ent and address the assembly.
