The Bohemian Club held e high jinks and low jinks at their rooms last evening. Seventh avenue from Golden Gate Park to the Ingleside racecourse will be transformea into & boulevard. The Polytechnic High School held its first annual athletic fieldday yesterday at the Olympic Club grounds. The Emporium held a house warming yester- day. Itisestimated that over 50,000 people passed through the big store. The old Bijou Theater building is being razed to make room for a substantial three-story structure to be built by Claus Spreckels. At s meeling of the Mission Defense Union held last night resolutions were passed de- nouncing the Noe heir claims as blackmail. One favorite won at the track yesterday. The first horses to the wire were Cadenza, imp. Fullerton Lass, Peru, Veragua, Hymn and Candor. Several prominent society people have in- corporated a riding club in this City. The club will have a tanbark track and riding academy at Polk ana Pacific streets. The Merchants' Association at its annual meeting next Thursday will discuss the new charter. Representa many progressive organizations have been iuvited to attend. The portraits of Blanther, the murderer of Mrs. Langfeldt, have been identified by Miss Beat Weill as those of Louts Weisser, whom she claims stole her diamonds about two weeks ago. W. W. Van Ewan, who for the second time was convicted of embezzling $100 from the Savage Commercial Company, has been sen- tenced o two years' imprisonment by Judge Bahrs. The corrected trial speed of the battleship Oregon bas been officially fixed at 16.88 knots.

The capital stock is $5000, $235 of which has been subscribed. The idea is to establish here something like the Durand Academy of New York. 1t is proposed to charge an initiation fee of atout $15, with monthly dues of $3. It | is hoped that a large membership may be i obtained and that the club will be very | flourishing. i The club proposes to care for the horses | of members if the members desire it. An- | other thing it hopes to have is a_fine tan- | bark ring. This will be made on the | grounds leased by the club already at $50 a month on Pacific avenue, between Polk and Van N In this way it is hoped that riding will become ver{ popular. Captain Dillon, who has been interested in the enterprise from the beginning, is doing all i'e can to bring this about. and beis aided in it materially by Messrs. Crocker, Lent and others. ..

Handsome A\ : \ L‘Ml\ \ Sy The Boats of the British Ships Wynnstay, Kilmeney, Hyderabad, Hollinwood and The Hahnemann as They Appeared in Yesterday’s Race at Sausalito When Rounding the Wynnstay on Their Homeward Run. [Sketched by a “Call™ artist.] BOAT-RACING AT SAUSALITO, British Ship-Masters Cele- brate the Queen's Birthday. FUN AND JOLLITY REIGN Accidents in the First and Third | Events Marred the Finishes. CHALLENGES NOW IN ORDER. All the Contestants Will Meet Again at the St. Andrew’s Day Regatta. Bausalito was in gala attire yesterday, and the British colony made merry in honor of the Queen’s birthday. Tne ships that have ‘“laid up” in Richardsons Bay | awaiting a charter were decked with all their colors, and crowds of visitors from the City enjoyed the hospitality of the various captains and drank the health of England’'s Queen in flowing bowls of champagne, Among the vessels that made a splendid showing were the Ben Avon, Brabloch, Hollinwood, Cawdor, Holt Hill, Loch Broom, Hyderabad, The Hahnemann, Lyndhurst, Primrose Hill, Wynnstay and Kilmeny. On shore Mrs. General Dia- mond entertained a large party of friends | at afternoon tea, and Captain Castle and his daughter had many of their friends with them on their yacht White Wings. During the afternoon they landed at the clubhouse of the Pacific Yacht Club and there partook of a sumptuous luncheon, prepared by the club’s chef. While these festivities were going on arrangements for the boat races were being pushed ahead. Commodore C. C. Bruce of the yacht Rover was active in g tting the boats to- gether and during the afternoon acted as starter. Captain Stewart Menzies was judge and Captain Castle referee. The first race was for ships’ boats. Each boat had 1o be manned by members of the crew of the ship from which it hailed and each boat was allowed four men and a cox- swain. There were seven entries—one each from the barks Ben Avon and Kilmeny and the ships Brabloch, Hollinwood, Hyderabad, The Hahnemann and Wynnstay. The course was from a point off the Sausalito boat landing, thence around the yacht Lurline, lying off the Pacitic Club’s yacnt- house, thence around the ship Brabloch, anchored out in the bay, and k to the starting point. The first race was to have started at 2:30 ». 3., but it was considerably after that before the boats got away. It was blowing hard and there wasa strong flood tide. In consequence the boats from the Brab- loch and Hollinwood came together. The men disengaged their boats and started after the others, but the collision put them practically out of the race. After rounding ihe Lurline the boys from the Wynnstay took the lead and were never headed again, winning easily. The Kilmeny was second, the Hyderabad tuird, and the men on the Hollinwood. who had made up a lot of lost ground, g:rizua were pro- vided by the people of Sausalito for the first and second boats, and $5 was pre- sented to each of the unsuccessful ones. The next event on the programme wasa tub race. There were three entriesand the prizes were a case of wine and a case of fruit. Mike Turner from the Wynnsiay won the first prize. The other entries were from The Hahnemann and Hydera- bad, but the tubs capsized. The sailors, nothing daunted, however, pushea their tubs before them, and so covered the course. They were loudly cheered when they reached the landing, ‘wet but_happy. The next race was ior a prize offered by Captain Kiddie of the Brabloch. There were five entries, but the Brabloch’s men again played in hard luck. Before halfthe course was covered and when 1n a com- manding position one of the oars snapped and the boat was out of the race. The Hollinwood’s crew won the firize, The Hahnemann second and the Hyderabad third. The defeated men are not at all satished with the results of the races and so there should be some exciting contests at the Saint Andrew’s picnic and regatta at El Campo this week. Over twenty boats have | entered and the principal event will be rowed in heats. ALONG THE WATER FRONT. Narrow Escape of the Ship Invin- cible, Thrice Ashore In Alaska. Vessels that have gone to Alaska during the past few months have not fared well. The elements have been combined against | | them, and those that went to the gold | fields or to the canneries have been equally t unfc nate. | At Cooks Inlet some of the schooners | | which took up miners bhave gone ashore | and the chances are that they will become a total loss. | At Nushagak the ships Invincible and | Occidental have both been ashore, but were kedged off again. The Invincible has had a number of narrow escapes. Three times the wind and | waves caught her, and in spite of all her anchors she was picked up like a chip and | tossed on tnebeach. On the 6th inst. she | was cast up high and dry, but the six | men who were on board managed to get | her into deep water again. & | Captain Holland was not very hopeful | | when the mail left, and if another gale ‘ struck the ship she would probably go ["ashore for good. The Invincible was fitted out by the Jo- | | seph Hume Cannery Company, and over | $100,000 was expended in getting her sup- | plies together. The company expected a ‘ good season and 40,000 cases of salmon have already been sold in_anticipation of | the catch. Should the ship go ashore | again it will take the men ali their time to | salve the cargo and there will be nosalmon | canned this season. { ‘The Occidental fared better than the In- vincible, as she had the steamer Afognak to assist her whenever the gales came up. The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Aus- tralia sailed for Honolulu yesterday with a fuli cargo and a laree passenger list. Those in the cabin were: H. A. Mary Johnson, Mrs. A. K. Kingsford, 0. Lewis, Miss Stella Love, W. C. Peacoc! W. T. Porter, Professor D. H. Shauinsland | and wife, Mrs. M. M. Scott, Miss Scott, Miss Marion Scott, M. Schwetzer and son, F. A. Shaeffer, C. W. Shryock, Miss A. C. | Small, Miss Spalding, E. 8. Swan, A. L. Taylor, Sharp Walker, Dudley C. Bates, Albert Cunha, Walter C. Dart, Mrs. E. Duffey, F. Eccles, E. W. Buller, W. | Goodlet, E. F. Gutschow and wife, E. | Hume, Mrs. A. E. Hume;Miss Eilizabeth Hume, Miss May Hume, W. G. Irwin and wife, Miss Irwin and maid. Mr. Irwin is the agent of the Oceanic Company at Honolulu. He came to San Francisco to take home bhis wife, who has been here on a long visit. Mr, Shaeffer | is the president of the Hawaiian Chamber | of Commerce, and is well known in busi- ness circles here. The American ship Roanoke is now on ber way from Honolulu to New York with | the largest cargo of su-ar aboard ever car- ried in one bottom. She has 5370 tons of dead weight, or 88,000 sacks, each of which | averages about 130 pounds. On her trip | to Honoluiu the captain found some diffi- culty in reaching port. The wind aud | currents carried the ship away down to Molokai, and it took a week to beat back., ‘When loaded it was feared that the big ship would not be able to pass through the channel. Soundings were made, and the pilot said there was plenty of room. Two hours later the Roanoke was outside and with all sail set was speeding toward New | York. The Monowai is going to be crowded | with Australian freight. Among the cargo | will be nearly 1300 tons of flour and over | 300 bicycles. The craze for the wheel is | growing in Australia and New Zeaiand, and thousands of the machines go there every month. Strange to say, that al- though the freight and duty on the wheels are considerable, the best-known makes of | wheels are sold in Sydney and Melbourne from §15 to $20 apiece less than they can be bought for in San Francisco. One of the Southern Pacific’s freight cars went off Lombard-street wharf last Friday night. It was filled witn coffins, and they heiped to keep the car afloat. Healy, /Tibbits & Co. hoisted it out with a derrick yesterday, but nearly all the caskets were ruined by the salt water. Captain Blackman, iate chief officer of the City of Sydney, has been appointed master of the steamer Starbuck. Second Officer Connors has been promoted to the gosmon left vacant by Blackman, and "hird Officer Kitt will take Connors’ place. Kitt has risen from the position of cadet in the Mail Company’s service. M'ENERNEY IS SLATED. Governor Budd Will Soon Name a Sue- cessor to Denis Spencer as Attorney of the Board of Health. The announcement was made yesterday that Garret McEnerney would be ap- pointed by Governor Budd as the succes sor of Denis Spencer, the recently de- ceased attorney of the board. Mr. McEuerney studied in Mr. Spencer’s law office previous to coming to San Fran- cisco to practice his profession, and is now | reglrdedp as one of the few leaders at the bar in California. It is said that his friendship and grati- tude to his deceased friend will cause him to turn the $3000 a yearsalary that attaches to the office over to Mr. Spencer’s family, { Iam who, while not in straitened circum- stances, are not particularly wealthy, KURLMAN WAS SENT TO' PRISON, Sonderup’s Physician Held in Contempt by the Coroner, RELEASED BY CONLAN. He Refused to Answer Certain Questions Asked Him by Dr. Hawkins. MRS. SONDERUP WAS ABSENT. Drs. Death Certificate Furnished by Dr. Kuhlman. Dr. Charles G. Kuhiman was sent to jail yesterday because of his refusal to answer certain questions propounded by | Coroner Hawkins at the inquest held on | the body of Jens W. Sonderup, who died at his home, 10 Ste ;er street, on April 23, under peculiar circumstances. The physician, who, by the way, is still | in contempt, did not remain in prison any great length of time, Judge Conlan sign- ing an order for his release as soon as the facts came to his attention. The causes leading up to Dr. Kuhlman’s arrest will be best understood in a brief recapitulation of the Sonderup case, which is now before the Coroner. On October 15, 1895, Jens W. Sonderup was driving along Montgomery avenue, and when about to cross Kearny street was struck by an elec- tric car, receiving injuries about the head and spine. It seems the motorman sounded | his gong, and that peopie shouted to Sonderup to get out of the way, but for some reason he paid no attention to the warnings. On tne evening of the accident Sonderup called at Dr. Kublman's office, | and from that time until_the day of his death was under bis care. When the end came the attending physician signed the | death certificate, attributing the cause to | “‘progressive traumatic ataxia and paralysis.”” The health department refused to accept the certificate because of the word “trau- matic,” which means caused by violence. The body of Sonderup was accordingly removed from the undertaker's to the Morgue, where an autopsy was held. A certificate was filed with the health department, naming consumption as the cerebro - spinal | cause of death. The widow of the dead mean thereupon began suit against Dr. Barrett of the Coroner’s office. for $25,00 damages, alleging, among other things, that the autopsy was illegally held, prin- cipally because Dr. Kuhliman’s certificate dl?fel’ed entirely from that furnished by the Coroner, or rather his assistant. The inquest on the body of the deceased was begun yesterday, but owing to the peculiar absence of Mrs. Sonderup was not conciuded. An effort was made to find the lady at her home, 10 Steiner street, but she had not been there for some time, and no one could tell just where she was. In all some fourteen’ Wwitnesses were ex- amined, Dr. Kuhlman being the most im- portant. That gentleman refused to answer cer- tain questions relating to his attendance on the deceased, and 1n consequence was sent to prison for contempt. The | examination of Dr. Kuhiman was in brief as follows: | “Were you called to attend one Jens W. | Sonderup?” < “Now, before I answer this questlon I would like to ask if you guestion me as a physician or as a private citizen?” “T sk you the question as a public official, as Coroner, and WADL Yes OF 1o for an answer. sking you us Coroner. Iam not sitting private citizen.” G ‘Are you asking me as & private citizen or as a physician?” 2 “{am asking you 8s a vhysician, a witness in this case, to determine certain facts, which the law compels me as Coroner to find out. You are a witness in this matter.” Kuhlman (interrupting)—1 am represented here by vounsel. Before I answer the quese tion I would like to consult my counsel. Coroner—TLis is not & trial, and. your coun- sel is no more than a speciaior. I want you to answer this question yes or no. Kuhlman—Well, I never appear in court without counsel. Coroner—This is not a court; this is not a trinl. This is an inquest, and-— Kuhlman—I am gerlectl.\' aware what this is, 1 am well aware what is going on here. Coroner—Dr. Kunlm’n. will you answer my question? Kuhlman—When you have furnished me the information. Coroner—Dr. Kublman, will you answer the as - Barrett and Coffey Ridicule the | uestion yes or no? You will be in contempt if you refuse to answer this question. uhlman—I really don't care whether Iam in contempt or not; that is your business. Then followed a long argnment between Dr.Kuhlman and Coroner Hawkins relative to the former telling his connection with Sonderup from October to the day of the latter’s death. The examination concluded as follows: . Q. Now, Mr. Kuhlman, I instruct you sitting in my official capacity as Coroner to determine | the cause of this man’s death to answer this | following question yes or no; if not you wiil be | edjudged guilty of contempt and taken to court.” Now, doctor, I ask you the question: If irom the period spoken from October 17, 1895, to April 1896, vou attended and treated the dec , Jens Sonderup, for pro- gressive traumatic cerebro-spinal ataxia and paralysis; if duting that time you trested him for that complaint? A. Continuously. Q. Continuousiy? A. As I have stated be- fore, unless I be permitted to consult my counsel, I snall refuse to answer that ques- tion. Q. Now, doctor, we have given you every op- | portunity. A. (Interrupting.) I am willing to | take the consequenc Q. You have placed yourselfin contempt and must take the consequences. A. I will take the consequences. By Coroner (to police officer)—Officer, step this way. By Coroner—Now, Dr. Kuhlman, you were brought here by a subpena to testify before | this jury of laymen to ccrtain facts, which any fair-minded man, citizen or physician would testity to without reserve; there wusa ques- tion which could be answered by yes or no, | simply, and would by either one of these an’ swers help—the ends of justice would be car- | riea out; you refused to do i we stood your thing else. 10 take this recourse; Iam sorry you, by your ractice, have taken these gentlemen of the ,’ury from their business, brought them here or nothing, as it were, and at the same time you have insulted the office which I have the Pieasure to occupy, and of which I must up- oid the dignity. 1am sorry, doctor, but as | you are in contempt you must go to jail aua | suffer the consequence. By witness—A. I am ready, sir. | Dr. Kuhlman was here ordered into the | custody of an attending officer, Judye Con- lan later on releasing him on his own recognizance. Then followed testimony trom Drs. Barrett and Coffey to the effect | that Sonderup died of consumption. Dr. Coffey said that as long as he had been a physician he had never heard of such a disease as the one mentioned by Dr. | Kuhlman in the Sonderup death certifi- | cate. . At the conclusion of this teszimony the inquest was adjourned until Mrs. Son- that he will make anotherattempt to have Dr. Kuhiman testify.

TUTTLE'S BIG CONTRACT The Good Roads Driving Associa- tion to Bear Its Share of the Expense, MAYOR SUTRO TO GIVE A DEED. The Spring Valley Water Company Will Assist the Enter. prise. The long-felt necessity which has ex- isted for a suitable and pleasant driveway from the south side of Golden Gate Park to the Ingleside, or Ocean, road is about to be met,and in the courseof a few months the old crooked and rut-scored road that meandered out scuth from the park on the line of Seventh avenue will be transformed into an elegant boulevard. To accomplish this desirable purpose Captain John Tuttle has just signed a con- | tract with Mayor Sutro, the Spring Valiey { Water Company, Thomas U. Sweeny and A. K. P. Harmon Jr. to grade, curb and macadamize Seventh avenue from Kto L streets to a width of 80 feet. The same avenue from H to K has just been finished by the same well-known con- tractor. To put the avenue in boulevard condi- tion over 50,000 yards of sand and earth will have to be removed. But this re- moval of earth matter will not be so very difficult, in consequencs of a short haul to the adjacent hollowed ground on the west side of the avenue where it will be dumped, thus raising that portion to the street grade, rendering it accessible for building purposes. A further contract is abuut perfected with Captain Tuttle by which grad- ing will be prosecuted on Seventh avenue from L to N streets. This will | brine the boulevard up to the north line of | the City’s property known as the Alms- house tract. From there a portion of the inclosed land will be used to give sufficieat width to the boulevard. At the southern end of the Almshouse property the old driveway takes a sharp turn east and leads out on the Ocean road. To obviate this sharp turn and in order to give a straight aud direct driveway fromn the park to the Ingleside racecourse and Ocean road Mavor Sutro has agreed to deed to the City forever 80 feet of land for adistance of one mile through his prop- erty for that purpose, provided that a good boulevard be made. To satisfy Mr. Sutro on this point the Good Roads Driving As- sociation has agreed to bear the entire expense of makine the boulevard all that is expected to comply with his wishes. The Spring Valley Water Company is willing to assist in this undertaking by giving permission to Captain Tuttle to fill | a portion of Lake Honda so that the boule- vard may be made as straight and direct between the park and racetrack as is pos- | sible. Work will commence on next Tuesday on Seventh avenue between K and L, and during the time of its progress the Good Roads Driving Ascociation has agreed to recompense Captain Tuttle for putting in | condition a temporary driveway round | | that portion of the avenue upon which lLe may be working. But for this liberality on the partof the association all driving on the avenue would be stopped durng the | progress of improvement. | " The Spring Valley Water Company will avail itself of the grading process by put- ting in its fourteen-inch mains on the East Side, and by so doing will not nfflin be obliged to tear up the boulevard for that purpose. NORTH END REPUBLICANS.
