THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1896. 21 YOUTH WINS [N - THE 00D FELLOWS Karl C. Brueck Is Elected Grand Warden of California. NEW BLOOD IN OLD VEINS What a Past Grand Master Has to Say of the Election. MOVING THE ORPHAN HOME. Rebekahs Are Divided on the Re- spective Merits of Gilroy and Thermalito. The election of grand officers for the en- 1 103, San Francisco, exemplified the initia- tory degree by conferring it upon a class of candidates. After adjournment the members and delezates repaired to the Columbia Theater, where the benefit for the Orphans’ Home was beinz played. Tie whole of to-day’s work will be de- voted to a further consideration of resolu- tions and commiitee revorts. It is now thought that the labors of the grand body cannot be completed before Saturday morning or afternoon. The remaining officers will then be appointed. TR | REBEKAHS ARE DIVIDED. | The Situation of the Orphans’ Home | Will Bs Decided Upon To-Day. | The morning session of the Rebekabs | was also given over entirely to the election . of candidates, and so closely contested was | the election that they did not adjonrn till | 1:30 p. 3. | As was expected, Mrs. Marian Green- i wood of Stockton was elected to fill the [ grand presidential chair, she having been | grand vice-president for the last year. | Thecontestover the vice-president iasted ‘ fully an hour and a half and resulted in the election of Mrs. Minerva Karsner of Oroville.

F. of California at the Forty-Fiith A nnual Session of the Grand Lodge. lace yesterday at an ex- ng session of the Grand Council of Cali- tornian Odd Fellows. On the first ballot the vote stood as follows: Stockton, 307; W. A. es, 102; John E. Raker, itney, Oakland, 50; J. L. amento, 43; 8. Smith, San 0. Herzog, Yreka, 6. Brueck’s popularity may be judged from the fact that, though he was the youngest of the contestants and has been a member of the order only nine years—much less than the others, some of whom are veter- ans—his Jarge vote was polled on the first ballet. At the forty-third annual session of the Grand body he was second on the list after the polling of the votes. As was mentioned in TEE CaLL yesterday, this would place him foremost in the line for year. The other candidates were elected by ac- clamation. J. W. Warboys and A. M. Drew, in accordance with the rule established by precedent, being elected to fill the offices of grand and deputy grand master respect- ively. The offices of grand secretary and treas- | urer are commonly filled by the same men year after year, except in case of death or Tesignation. Therefore George F.' Shaw will fill the former and Moses Greenbaum the latter position for the next year. For the offices of grand trustee there were four candidates, three of whom were 10 be elected. The general custom has been to retsin the members of the old board as long as they wish to hold office. The old board, C. O. Burton, C. W. Moul- throp and John Glasson, were candidates in this instance, with the addition of John Fish of Oakland. : The old board was retained, but Fish re- ed 8 handsome complimentary vote of S. B. Smith of Sacramento was reap- pointed trustee of the Oda Fellows’ Home at Thermalito. The whole afternoon session was taken up with the consideration of resolutions, committee work and amendments to the constitution. Several amendments in re- ard tothe conduct of the Odd Fellows’ Home were laid over until to-morrow. The most important amendment in this | respect is one contemplating a $5000 per- manent membership. If such be adopted any one can place an indigent member in the home and 1n case he dies replace him with another without extra cost. s In the evening the drill team of district by many, but was finally secured by Mrs. Anna M. Liese of Oakland. | After the election some resolutions in regard to sick-benefit lodges were made. They were referred toappropriate commit- | ters. Nearly all the aiternoon was consnmed in an exhibition by the installation team of District Grand Deputy Antoinette Shaw of Amity No.161. The installation ceremony was conducted with a series of | fancy drills. The téeam numbered ten per- | sons, and was led through the evolutions | by Grand Marshal Hattie Duly. | “This was just splendid,” said a lady member. Mrs. Donoho has s2id some awfully sweet things about the policy of Tre CaLL during this session, and has showered encomiums on it as the only paper the mothers of this State have a tender feeling for. Now, Mrs. Shaw has spent a great deal of timein getting this | team in proper condition to give a good exhibition, and THE CALL must repay us by giving her credit for it.” The last half hour of the session was given up to a discussion of the proposition of moving the Orphans’ Home from Ther- malito to Gilroy. Gilroy has offered some excellent inducements to take the home there, and the debate on the subject was | full of snap and vigor. | The chempious of Gilroy were Past | Grand Master Simpson and “Miss Sophia | Hutton of No. 90, San Francisco. They | thought it would cause le=s rasping be- | tween the young and the old people to re- | move the home from the influence of the 0Odd Fellows’ Home for Indigents, also situated at Thermalito, and that, as Gilroy is in the heartof a more thickly settled district, more forms of relaxation and amusement for the youngsters could be bad. The proposition was laid over till to-day. In the cvening a beneiit was given under the auspices of the Rebekabs for the Or- hans’ Home at the Columbia Theater. g’he whole proceeds of the evening d rived from the sale of tickets for Morri- son’s “‘Faust” will go toward the main- tenance of the home. Oscar Boully, who lives on an island in the Missouri River, in Minnesota, had a perilous time the other day. T eisland was covered with water, and he and his family bad to seek refuge in the trees, against which the floating ice bumped alarmingly. The family spent the night in the trees and was rescued in the morning.

BARNES, Past Grand Master. MNAB HUSTLES FOR HARMONY, Allays and Concedes to Stop the Rebellion Against Him. IT'S HARD TO BE A BOSS. Daggett Has Twenty Unused Jobs in His Political Bank After AllL WORTH FIVE POLLARS A DAY. The Junta Executive Committce Orders Nominations for Delegates to Sacramento. Gavin McNab has been very busy in an effort to produce a harmony in the Junta executive committee not too incon- sistent with the preservation of his man- agement of things. He has been partly successful in allaying and holding in abeyance the hostility to his bossing the machine. The executive committee met Wednesday night and ad- journed without war. There was no war because McNab had made some surrenders and some prom- ises that he would not try to name most of the delegates himself, and also because the question of how far committeemen shall bave the naming of election officers in their districts did not come up. A majority of the members wiil insist on their nomizations for elective officers be- ing recogrized and a majority of the members of the commirttee have agreed to support one another's nominations. Against this committeemen sovereignty McNab by himself or through Chairman Sullivan may buck in vain. The main significance of this agreement is provided in the Thirty-ninth, where McNab wants to down Dr. W. J. Gavigan, the member of the executive committee from that district, in the interest of J. A. Fenton and the Daggett-Rainey combina- tion. McNab wants a Fenton delegation to the State Convention, and so would amend Gavigan’s recommendations for delegates and eiection officers. But Ed Lanigan who is very strong_in the committee, witl undoubtedly stand by his friend Gavigan and against McNab, as will a number of others who will stand in on a general pro- gramme of self-protection against Boss McNab. MecNab'’s plan of having the many dele- gates at large vote with the districts where they happen to reside for State Central Committeemen is also being strongly opposed by members weo are not ready to carry out McNab’s con- tracts with Daggett or to satisfy his| own ambition of securing large control in the Btate Central Committee, which he may use as a whip in his efforts to boss | the local machine. Wednesday night the committee decided that the district clubs should meet and nominate delegates on Saturday evening. This is the evening on which the Buckley district clubs do a similar work. McNab's plan of sending one-third of | the delecates at large was approved. The apportionment declared gave six delegates to each distrietand provided for fifty-three at large. It was resolved that the rule prohibiting Federal, State or municipal employves from being convention delegates should be enforced in the interest of good looks. | The good locks of the delegation is the chief issue on which McNab is bestowing his political sagacity. Election officers will not be appointed until the night befcre the primary so that the kicks will not last long. The local Democratic politicians are much at sea regarding the effect on local politics ot the new civil service order piacing the »mployes of the Mint and the rest of the Federal employes here generally in the classified list. It will entirely withdraw a number of active workers from the local political field efore long and will leave a number taking an interest in politics, but ina much less active and influential and more independent way. All of the miint employes will now be secure in their positions for life or during good behavior and capacity, there being no laborers in the institution. A major- ity of the employes are politicians. ’lfmy have been politicians for their bread and butter. If they want to stay where they are they have nothing to gain in politics, and the civil service regulations forbid pernicious partisan activity. Some_ feel already as though they had received a long-needed bath, and with a sigh of relief are preparing to withdraw to the sunny seclusion, prosy career and satisfying security of a Government job that only tie King of Terrors may work them out of. Some will undoubtedly stay in politics for the reason that some Alabama people get into watermelon patches. They like itand can’t help it. But they will be no man’s political servants, and will lack the partisan incentive that goes with many Government jobs—an incentive that re- sembles a sharp stick. Then there must be some fear of the civil service law be- fore their eves. Daggett is now shorn of much political power through all this sudden” loss of patrovage. There are many opinions about what effect it will have on his efforts and ambitions to gain State politi- cal power and to dominate the State Con- vention in the interest of goid. But people who think this civil-service order is going to take the Superintendent of the Mint out of politics are very much mistaken. Daggett will remain a power in local politics. He nnufntronuge-job bank left to draw on. He will keep on buying committec- men with jobs, Recently he received an order to coin 150,000 standard silver dollars in addition to the current output during the next fews months, This will require the hiring of about twenty extra men, and this extra help will not come under the civil service regulations. He has left twenty jobs at $5 a day, which wilil last for ten monthsor a year, and he will have absolute control of these jobs. Twenty jobs of that sort m ay amount to a big: political influence. None of these appointments have been made. There isdgeneral uncertainty as to when the President’s order goes “into effect. Many hold that it is in effect now and removals and appointments are now blocked by it. But yesterday a prominent Federal employe, who was interested in knowing, received telegraphic advice from inside sources at Washington that the order would not go into effect for several weeks, The Mint employes must be ciassi- fied and sworn_in and a Mint Board of Civil Service Examiners appointed. All future appointments will be made from the list of those who successfully pass the semi-annual examinations in tue order of both the percentage attained and the priority of application._ There is much uncertainty, too, as to what the politicians who are to become civil service Government employes may be free to do in the field of practical politi if they feel inclined to work therein. i The question of how active such Govern- ment employes may be in partisan politics is a hazy one with all that 1s said about it in laws, rules and official opinions. The answer seems to be that a Government em- ploye in the classified service may hustle about pretty much as a_nly politician ‘may do as long as the official power over him is not inclined to revress his political ac- tivity and so long as he does not commit such gross violations of the civil service law and regulations that the Civil Service Commissioners make take his case in hand on complaint. Tue law intended to take the Government service out of partisan politics accomplished that end mainly by taking it out of the paleof patronage influ- ence. It represses tbe political aclivity of Government employes more by removing the need and motive for such activity than by effectively forbidding it. The last annual report of the Civil Sery- ice Commission contains the exposition up to date of what civil service people may do in politics. One is little wiser after reading it than before. > The civil service law contains a good deal protecting employes from political assessments, cotrcion. and so on, but little in rezulation of their own conduct. The act provides that rules shall be made pro- viding: Sixth—That no person in said service has any right to use his oflicial authority or infiu- ence to coerce the political action of eny per- son or body. General rule 1 of the revised civil ser- vice rules reads as follows: Any officer in the executive eivil service who shall use his oficial authority or igfiuence for the purpose of interfering with an election or controlling the result thereof, or who shall dismiss or cause to be dismissed or use in- fiuence of any kind to cause the dismissal of any person from any place in the said service because such person has refused to be _coerced in. his political action, or:has refused to con- tribute money for political purposes, or has refused to render polilical service; and any officer, clerx or other employe in the execu- tive civil service whe shall willfully violate any of these rules or anv of the provisions of sections 11, ard 14 of the act entitled “An act to regulate and improve the civil ser- vice of the United States,” approved January 16, 1883, shall be dismissed from office. This reads strongly, but that it becomes bazy in practice is inferred from the expo- sitions of the law and the rule given by the Commissioners in their report. The main pody of the report contains the toliowing: The commission has many questions put to it by outsiders, by Government employes and by beads of departments as to what course should be followed as regards active parti tion_in politics by people in tue ¢l service. The rules ageinst offensive pari ship are usuaily strictly construed against the opponents of the party in power, and leniently against their adherents. Government officials belonging to the opposite party are dismissed for attending primaries, Writing letters of con- gratulatfon to successful candidates, and tne Tike, while adherents of the party in power do this thing-with impunity. As a_matter of iact, no rule about what is deemed proper partisenship in the classified service has ever been suthoritatively con- strued, and the commission bas no power whatever to construe such & rule. The com- mission feels strongly that whatever rule is adopted should apply equally to adherents of all parties, and that it wouid be safe to adopt as such a rule the requirement that the agher- ents of the party in power shall never do what would cause friction in the office and subvert dise!pline if done by opponents of the party in A man in the classified service has an @ power. entire right to vote &s he pleases and to express privately his opinions on ail political subjects he should not take an active part in political management or in political campaigns, for precisely the same reasons that a judge, an army officer, a regular soldier or a policeman is debarred from taking such active part. Itis no hardship to req aman to do this. It leaves him iree to vote, think snd spesk privately as he chooses, but it prevents him while in the ser- vice of the whole public, from turning nis official positiod to the benefit of one of the parties into which that whole pub- lic is divided; and 1n no other way can this be ented. Along further in “no$es on the rules’ is found the foilowing: Partisan Activity—The comm authority to take any action rela litical conduct of &n o charged that he has ve to the po- ceholder unless it is lated the eivil service act of January 16, 1 ection 2, part 2, sub. 6, in the use of ** ority or influ- ence to coerce the political a of any per- serv s, general authiority or »se of interiering with or controling the results thereof,” or in influencing a dismissal for a refusal to be | coerced in political action, 1o contribute money for political purposes, or for a refusal to render olitical service. The conduct of an office- holder not falling within the prohibitions is & matter wholly for the consideration of the up- pointing power, in which this commission cannot interfere. The utility of these provis- jons of the law and rules quoted rests in some degree s precepts, as only gross forms of these violations can be easily proved. Political Aetion—Upon inquiry whether an employe in the meil service may act as dele- gate or on the commiitees for any party or parties in city, county or State elections or act in any capacity as judge, clerk or challenger, or, in fact, in any position in con- nection with an eleetion, the commission de- cided that it was not its province to direct in matters of this sort, but that it has always dis- NEW TO-DAY.

Purchases of One-Cent Pieces at the Sub-Treasury Have Failen Off of Late. George A. Blank, the Oakland candy man, has won his fight against the South- | ern Pacific Company, and that poweriul corporation will have to receive l-cent| pieces as a legal tender for fareson its boats and lines in future. Ifthe precedent thus established is followed to any great ex- tent the company may be obliged to handle bushels of copper dailv. However, judzing from present indica- tions, it would not appear that the copper cent is destined to figure to any notable | degree in the financial marts of the City and State. The fact that a few laree retail | houses make use of the Eastern importa- | tion has stirred up quite a flutter in the | breast of the old Californian, to whom | nickels are an abomination. But he may | as well stop fluttering, since the signsof | the times seem to indicate that the mass 4‘ of Pacific Coast business will at least keep above the nickel limit. *‘We are not called upon for many cop = per cent pieces,” said Thomas P. Burns, cashier of the United States Sub-Treasury, vesterday. ‘In fact the decline in their use as amedium of exchange is very marked. We are now receiving them at a rate of from $500 to $700 worth per month, while we give out only $100 worth or there- abouts. ‘‘The cents which we receive, however, do not as a rule come from the City. Country postmasters find their cash boxes clogged with copper and send it to us in order to get rid of it. A few large retail stores are using covper in considerable quantities, | and the Emporiom in the Parrott build- ing will also use it. “‘One can easily perceive that the de- mand is comparatively insignificant when it is borne in mind that in January of this year we received $1000 worth of new cent | pieces from the Philadelphia mint. Thus far the amount has remained intact.” _AtJ. J. O'Brien’s Cashier Cummins had little to say about copye rasa medium of exchange. “We occasionally receive copper cents over the counter,” "he remarked, “and we never refuse them; but the sums whick come in are so trifling that we set thera aside for the purchase of postace stamps. We never give centsor stamps in change.” At the Maze, however, the copper is a recognized business factor. “We_ have used them for years” re- marked Ralph E. Marx, secretary and manager of the concern; “ard our business one or two common hatpins. They may be worth 10 cents a dozen and with & nickel she must have six. Nowif they are quoted at a cent apiece she may get ex- actly what she wants, neither more nor less, and pay only the exact price. Then there is a saving to be considered. If we sell for 98 cents an article quoted elsewhere at a dollar, the saving is 2 per cent; if we sell a 50 cent article for 48 cents the saving is 4 er cent, while if we sell a 10 cent article or 9 cents the saving is 10 per cent. It looks reasonable, don’t it? “Most of the cent pieces we use come to us from our customers, who have received them from us in change. Still, we some- times run short, and then we have to buy coppers from the sub-treasury. Perhaps $20 a week would about cover our pur- hases in that !ine. Meanwhile the cent is an established factor in our business, and will, in all probabil: remain so.”” At Hale Bros.’ establishment the same usage obtains. Mauy of their staple arti- cles are quoted at 6, 9 or 13 cents, or other suins which render the use of the copper imperative in order to make exact change. The daily average business in cent pieces amounts to $5 or more. The Hales have bougl.t as much as $100 worth of coppers from the sub-treasury in one month. An Adopted Child’s Death. A pathetic story develops in the death of Charles Butler, the ten-month-old adopted child of J. F. Butler, 33 South Park, which was reported to the Coroner yesterday morning. The infant was procured from St. Joseph’s Asy- lum when only a few days old by Mr. and Mrs. has not suffered thereby. Itisamusing, however, to see people come in here with | ceuts which they have saved, asking us to | ‘change them for money.” We always do, | or we need the litile coppers in our busi- ness. We charge the last cent on every bili, and give the last cent in change, | which is a thing we could not do unless | we employed copper money. There are | so many little things which are worth less | than five cents, that our plan works ad- | mirably. | *“‘Supposing, for example, a lady wants | Butler.
