8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TU’ESDAY,.MAY 19, 1896 THEY TRIED T0 DODGE ONIOS, How the Salvation Army Was Attacked on North Beach. REV. FLAWITH'S CHURCH The Congregation Came Forth to the Rescue of Their Brethren. WHAT THE PASTOR HAS TO SAY Major MacIntyre Says There Has Been No Such Demonstration for Years. Some members of the Balvation Army | night | had an experience on Sunday which vividiy recalled to their memories the days when their paths were habitually strewn with rotten eggs, dead cats and other missiles. As a result of the experi- ence several of the officers are ‘‘resting” to nurse bruises and contusiong, which re- main as outward and visible proof of the fact that the battle was to the strong on | Sunday night. Rev. F. Flawith, outside whose church the trouble began, is very much troubled over the fray, and he says that if some of the members of the First Conszregational Church had strayed into his fold thatnight to lend a hand in the cause of righteous- | ness instead of wandering about like sheep without a shepherd, the cause of humanity would have teen the gainer. Rev. Flawith, who is pastor of the Fourth Congregational Church, on Green gation within heard sounds of tumult and came out to see what was going on. When they beheld their army friends advancing singing, under heavy fire, surrounded by a howling, imprecating mob, they rallied to their rescue, and when thesoldiers drew up in good order outside the building there were church members all around them. : Evidently the crowd only had a griev- ance against the Salvationists, for they stoppea throwing missiles when it became | evident that by doing so the members of Mr. Flawith’s fiock would be injured too. A short meeting was held at the church door and then the armyand its friends withdrew into the church. Rev. F. Plawith said yesterday: ‘“Here is a chance for the members of the First church. If they really want to consecrate their religion, iez them come and work among these people, instead of rushing out to Dollar avenue to build a church where one is not wanted.” As for the Salvationists they are not at all discouraged, and intend to visit the Fourth church, on Green street, again next Sunday. {Judge McKenna Decides That the | Song May Be Sold Under Two Names. The Present Suit Will Probably Be Followed by Criminal Pro- cecdings. | The Zeno Mauvais Company will con- | tinue to publish the Southern melody of { lah Angeline,” and Schlamm & Broder | will do likewise. In the latter case, how- | ever, the song will be published and sold | under the name of ““Dora Dean.” This is the edict of United States Judge Me- Kenna, delivered yester”ay afternoen. | In giving his decision dissolving the in- junction the court also recited a bit of individual opinion to the effect that he would like to throw the whole matter out of court because the song, whether under | one name or another, was vulgar just the | | same. | There is much bitterness between the | parties to the suit. The Schiamm & Bro- | der people claim that the Zeno Mauvais Company has done considerable plagiariz- ing, and must suffer the consequences. In | afing a | this particular suit the “*Mah Angeline” | County, and eves R 2o~ 4 Charles Sydney O’Brien, Who Gained | | Celebrity by Singing “Mah Angeline.” street, near Stockton, invited the Salva- tion Army to come down and help him on Sunday night, and the army, which is al- ways on deck when it is wanted, respond- ed by sending five men, commanded by Major MacIntyre. No one had any idea that this event would stir up an infant riot; but it did, and Major MacIntyre says that not for seven years has the Salvation Army been so assailed on the streets of this City as it was near the Fourth Con- gregational Church. The following description of the event is given by one of the sufferers, Sergeant- Major Barker, who was suffering from bruises on the head and neck, inflictea by onions hurled by a strong and sure hand “We began our parade outside the church on Green street,”” said the ser- | geant-major, “and from there started up Green toward Kearny. ‘It is a district where we have worked very little and the resiaents are not in the | habit of seeing any soldiers about. People came out from all sides as we went | 1 up the street—men, women and _children, many of them with sticks, dead animals and cobble-stones. We all of us got blows on the head and in different parts of the body, but, bless yoa, we're not going to complain. We expect that sort of thing in the army and look upon it as fun when we can zet at ‘the people in spite of their dislike to us.” 7 ; When recalled to his narration the ser- geant-major said: “We walked around threeor four blocks and the further we went the thicker the crowd grew and the faster came the missiles. Another soldier was bruised on the back of bis head considera- bly, and [—well, I was struck on the neck by a couple of onions. All the other sol- diers were struck and bruised, too. As the procession reapproached the Fourth Congregational Church, the congre- song is claimed to haye been stolen out- right. On the other side the claim is that the song is an old one, and had been sung during the Midwinter Fair. Corroborat- | ing this an affidavit by one James H. Love ! was filed, declaring "that the song was sung in the 49 Mining Camp, of which he was one of the proprietors. The books of that corporation, being ex- | amined, show that no colored men were ever employed in the camp, hence Sydney | O'Brien, who claims to have once been en- | gaged to sing the song in the camp, and “§nmes H. Love, are slightly off the path of truth and veracity. heir misstate- | ment of facts is made stronger by other | affidavits of the owners of the '49 Mining | Camp contradicting Love and O’Brien in | every particular. | The present suit is to be followed by criminal prosecation. Mr. Schlamm, in speaking of the affair yesterday, stated: “The court said there was considerable perjury in the ense. The court is right ve- | yond a doubt and I will soon show it up. propose to have J. H. Love, John Doni- gun and Charles S8ydney O’Brien arrested on charges of perjury, and in this I will be assisted by S8am Davis of the Carson Ap- peal and all the other stocktiolders of the 49 Mining Camp. : “Love has made an affidavit to the ef- fect that Davis was not a proprietor in the ’49camp, which he must have known to be false, as Davis held a large block of | stock in the concern. “This man James H. Love also | jured himself in his affidavit regarding the song being sung in the camp, asitisa well-known fact the song was composed at a time subsequent to the life of the camp. T- o MAH ARGELINE" A T T0 ABOLISH THE CHECK SYSTEM, Supervisor Dimond Pre- sents an Ordinance Against It. CLASSED AS A NUISANCE. Defeated Yesterday, but to Be Brought Up on Monday Next. NEW MUNICIPAL BUILDING. L Several Thousand Signers of a Pe. tition Want Work Begun on It at Once. Supervisor Dimond sprung a surprise on the friends of the railroad in the board | yesterday when he offered the following ordinance, aimed at the check system of transfers now used by the Market-street Railway Company, in the form of a reso- Iution : The people of the City and County of San Francisco do ordain as follows: : 1.

In order to cover the issuance of trans- fers at points of chunge, Mr. Diamond also offered the following ordinanc; The people of the City and County of San Francisco do ordain as follows: 1. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation, or any employe of any person, firm, or corporation operating streetcars with- in the City and County of San Francisco, to re- ceive, issue or deliver to passengers on the public streets of said City and County any upon or within ssenger is trans- 18% cents, xraaite curbs 60 cents, Robinson & Nugent.

Mr. Diamond urged immediate action on | his resolution. Supervisor Hughes moved | to amend by referring the matter to the | Health and Police Committee and Super- | visor King offered a substitute that the matter be disposed of at once. The sub- | stitute was lost by the following tie vote. | Aves—King, Scully, Hirsch, Dimond mmj Hobbs. Noes—Benjamin, Hughes, Dunker, Morgan- stern and Wagner. | The amendment_was also lost by a tie | vote and the original motion by a vote of 6 to 4, SBupervisor Dimond voting in the | negative in order to move for a reconsia- eration at the next meeting. He is confi- | dent that the ordinances will go through at that time, as he believes that Supervisors | Spreckels and Taylor, who were absent, will vote with him. Supervisor Wagner presented a petition signed by 6872 residents of the North End district asking the board to reconsider its | action in Fuuing over the selection of a | plan for the new municipal building for | four months and proceed to chose an | architect at the earliest possible momeut. | Later Mr. Wagner introduced a resolution that was carried that the balloting be taken up again. Only one vote was taken, the result showing that a deadlock still exists. The matter was put over fora week or until a full attendance of members can partici- pa e in the balloting. The ordinance granting a franchise for a televhone and telecraph service to be sold to the highest bidder was referred back to the Street Committee for the purpose of having it still further amended to suit the views of the members, The contract for supplying rations for | the prisoners confined in"ihe various jails was awarded to the Pacific Marine Supply Company. The matter of selecting a site for the Pesthouse went over two weeks. A petition signed by 736 property- owners protesting against the use of pufl lic money for sprinkling the streets was received and referred to the Street Com- mittee. The petitioners declared that | snrinklmf was not necessary for the vreservation of the public thoroughfares. They cited the casesof a number of streets that have not been sprinkled for years and yet are in as 509(1 condition as those that are sprinkled every day. The etition also protests agaiust thesprink- fing of a few streets to the exclusion of | many otherson the ground that such a | course would be unjust to the tax-payers wliose money pays the sprinkling blYIs. The petition of the Geary-street, Park and Oceun Cable Railroad Company for' a renewal of its franchise to run cars on Geary street to Point Lobos avenue and on | Fifth avenue to Golden Gate Park for fifty years was referred to the Street Committee. The report of the Finance Committee re-engaging Watter S. Hinkle as special Assistant District Attorney for a period of three months was adopted. et ST REET IMPROVEMENTS.

His Accusation Brought Up| Before Judge Wal- lace. IT MUST BE TRIED. The Defendant’s Demurrer Based Upon Lack of Juris- diction. OVERRULED BY THE COURT. A Writ of Prohibition Will Be Asked For at Once From the Supreme Judges. All the morning session of Judge Wal- “ lace’s court his Honor sat and listened to | Mr. Pillsbury argue on his demurrer to | the accusation of Andy Clunie against John D. Siebe, the Assessor. | The accusation brought by Mr. Clunie | was 1n pursuance of the action brought in | the Supreme Court and in anticipation of | its result. His charges were based on the | fact that the property of the Market-street | Railway Company, allezed to be worth | $17,500,000, was assessed for only $3,000,000, | and he wanted to have the Assessorre- | moved from office because of misconduct for thus underassessing the property. In the Supreme Court the Justices said that the court could not pass upon the propriety of an assessment. If it were wrong, the Assessor might be removed from office, but the Board of Equalization was the only court of appeal from an as- sessment supposed to be unjust. Pursuant to the implication thus con- veyed, Clunie filed an accusation against | the Assessor in the Superior Court, and | 2 e yesterday it came up for trial. Mr. Pills- bury, for the railroad and the Assessor, demurred on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction—it was an assessment matter and the courts could not interfere. | He further argued that no corrupt mis- | conduct had been charged, in fact he said the Assessor had been deceived by mis- represeutations made to him and had | based his assessment on these representa- tions, believing them to be correct. The section of the code under which the pro- ceedings were held, he continued, did not | apply in this case. Had the Assessor re- | fused tc assess the property at ali then it | might apply, but the property had been assessed and at what the Assessor thought a fair valuation and, Mr. Pillsbury argued, no one could_sccuse him of wrong-doing | under the circumstances. He concluded | by saying that if the court sustained Mr. | Clunie in his position it would then bave | to adopt the functions of the Board of | Equalization and delermine the value of | the railroad’s property. | In reply Mr. Clunie said that the prop- | erty was admittedly worth $17,500,000; | the assessment was $3,000,000, and be | thought that fact misconduct enough to | bring the proceeaings. The Assessor, he | said, is directed by the constitution to | assess property at its full value, and once more he alluded to the discrepancy. | Judge Wallace overruled the demurrer. He said he believed the court had a right to review assessments, and he believed in this case there was cause for review. That the Assessor had a right to exercise his | discretion, he said, was evident, but in | the case at bar he thought the vast differ- | v:m:el between the figures warranted a | trial. Mr. Pillsbury wanted until Thursday to | prepare an answer and also to secure a writ of prohibition from: the Supreme | Court, but Judge Wallace refused any | more time than to this moruing, and so | the case will come up again at that time. Before it proceeds far, however, a writ of | prohibition will be applied for and the | case will come before the Supreme Court | first. MRS. COLEMAN’S WILL.
