NCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, BEGGED MONEY FOR HIGH JINKS, Why a Swiss Editor Wrote to Tax Collec- tor Block. COMPLAINS CF CLUBS. Bleck Replies That His Men Have Never Solicited Pic- nic Funds. MANY MERCHANTS SUBSCRIBED And Now It Seems That They Were TakenIn by a Trio of Bunko- Steerers. For the last three months business men on Montgomery avenue and the neighbor- ing streets have been tormented by indi- viduals representing themselves as dele- gations of clerks from the City Hail solic- iting subscriptions for picnics and high jinks. The men had a high-handed way of go- ing to work, which impressed people. Four-bit subscriptions were scorned and even a dollar was received condescend- ingly. The well-known druggist on Mont- gomery avenue gave $5, the owner of the oldest Italian paper on the coast gave $3, and others contributed to the amusement fund of the clerks of the City Hall in an equally liberal manner. Lately it bas struck the Montgomery- avenue business men that the City em- ployes were becoming altogether too gay and festive. First they wanted funds for a ball, then a projected high jinks was languishing for need of a little assistance; after that the delegation said a number ot clerks wanted to go to Sacramento and funds were necessary to enable them to have a good time, and a picnic is now on the tapis. George F. Cayalli, the editor and pro- prietor of the Swiss newspaper, was one of those who looked askance at the sup- posed delegation from the City Hall. It did not exa ke him that the men who composed it were impostors, be- cause he found the names of so many in- fiuential men on the subscription list, but he did inform the delegates that the clerks in the City Hall are the best-paid clerks in this great and glorious country and that he considered them capable of payine for their own amusements. “*How- ever, I'll give you 50 cents,” said the ed iis offer was received without any gratitude; on the contrary, the delegation looked upon it with such scorn that the 50 cents was not bestowed. Last Thurs- day, however, the solicitors of subscrip- tions appeared again at the office L'Elvezia, and the spokesman said airily: “We are getting up a picnic this time; if you like we will take the 50 cents.” What tne editor replied is not on record, but the delegation went out of his office a good deal faster than it had come in. Then George Cavalli wrote the following for his payer, L'Elvezia. He also mailed a duplicate copy to Tax Collector James M. Block: ess have your clerks, well paid as 10 become an im position to the pub- liciting contributions for their picnics h ? Twice, a delegation of cierks from your office called on me to obtain money for their entertainments, offering to pledge thelr influ e with the office-holders in be- half of my paper, for the next political cam- paign. The editor further intimated that he would expose the ways of the Tax Col- lector’s clerks in I'Elvezia. Yesterday James M. Block’s answer was received. He was evidently wrathy, for he said that if the press of this City were half as well conducted as his office newspapers would occupy an exalted pinnacle in public esti- mation. Speaking of the picnics, high jinks, balls, etc., Mr. Block said: ‘*As to the fact of collections being taken up by my clerks, there is no truth init. I will give you §$100 if you can prove that any clerk of mine has made or attempted to make any collection in behalf of this office. There are impostors who makea business of playing this game on the pub- lic. They are simply criminals, and it was your duty to hand them over to the police.”” “These men represenied themselves as clerks from the Tax Collector’s office, rep- resenting all the clerks at the City Hall,” said Mr. Canalli yesterday. “No doubt they were imposters, but they have de- ceived a number of people and must have collected considerable money. I am glad to say tney got nothing irom me.” G. 8. Cuneo, editor of La Voce del Pop- olo, who gave the men $3, said yesterday that he still believed the men were clerks at the City Hall. “T gave them the money to get rid of them, but it never struck me that they were impostors, for I saw one of them abouta month ago working as a clerk atthe City Hall. I do not know his name, but I recognized his face when he came the other day soliciting.”” The general opinion is, however, that the men who until yesterday were work- ing the Italian quarter were impostors. THE OREGON'S RECORD, Her Corrected Speed for the Trial Course Is 16.88 Knots. Method by which the Blairmore Will Be Lifted — Two Sister Ships Will Help. Under the hands of her builders, the battle-ship Oregon is receiving the last finishing touches before she takes her place in the line alongside of such glorious company as the Charleston, San Fran- cisco, Monterey and Olympia. Unlike the first vessels turned outby the Union Iron Works the Oregon will be handed over to the Navy Department all ready for sea. Then sie will only require ammunition for her battery and the crew and the ship's stores. The officers and men will be detailed for her and the other necessary articles may be loaded on board in a few hours. ‘When the board of inspection make up their report and the Navy Department formally and officially accepts the great ship, she will be cleaned and painted, the guns polished and otherwise made to iook Ler prettiest. The decks will be planed and calked, the awnings of both the ves- sel and the boat fitted, The official speed for the course was given out as 16 78 knots, but this has been corrected and the splendid craft has been given a recora of 16.88 knots. The Mexican cruiser Zaragosa 1s on the Union Iron Works’ drydock preparing for her trip to Japan and China, and will be ready tor sea in a few days. The wreckers will soon be ready to lift the Blairmore out of the bay. Captain Whitelaw’s divers have cleared out the vessel's hull and completely stripped the ship down o her three lower masts. . Inafew days the hatchesand all open- ing will be sealed air and water tight, but before the hull is closed all of the mudd. deposit will be pumped out of her hold. Big canvas pipes will be led down into the vesse! wherever possible and the great steam pumpson the wrecking barge will be set to work to clear out the hull. Under the direction of Captain Burnsa huge platform is being constructed on the wreck of strong 10x10 inch timbers. Upon this frame, which is high in the air, large tanks will be built so that when they are filled with water their weight will have a Lemliency to whirl the hull over on an even ceel. To further help in the work of ralsing the vessel two big ships, the Eilisland and Verejean, which are lying at anchor in Mission Bay, will be moored over their sunken sister ship. They will be secured at dead-low water with taut cables to the Blairmore, and. being empty and very buovant, the tide will raise them and their burden several feet. This will lift the wreck from mud and make the labor of righting her an easy one. The huil will then be emptied of water by means of the air forced down into it, and after the wreck is well clear of the bottom of the bay the whole procession will take up its march for shallow water. One tide‘em‘mg her des ear will fin- ish the job, and only the riggers will be needed to put the spars, yards and gear back in their places. The stecl topmasts having been shattered by dynamite, their repair will hardly be possible on this coast, in which case masts of wood will probably be substituted. Captain Burns thinks that next week will bring the Blairmore in sight, and a week longer will land her in the drydock. g Catholic Fraternit, Rev. P, E.

The Spiritualists of San Francisco are jubilant. There can be no doubt of that. They show it in their speech, their bristling about to get ready for their convention are about 1,500,000 bona-fide spiritualists in the United States alone. “Since I have been president of the National Asseciation there has been a per- ceptible growth in numbers and in the organization of societies. The increase has been about 10 per centeach year, a slow but steady growth.” i On the subi{ctgoi the West, especially of California, President Barrett is enthu- | siastic. ; “The people of the Pacific Coast are more progressive and llbem}’ in their views on religious questions,” he em- phatically stated, “‘than_any class I have met thus far. Their ideas on reform movements are excellent. The whole State is permeated with spiritualism, too; and my welcome has been the most cor- dial, as I bave spoken twenty-nine times in this State 1n the last thirty days. | " “Large audiences have greeted me every- | where.

CAMP" ON THE PRESIDIO, Entire Division of the National Guard to Be As- sembled. The Encampment to Be Held Dur- ing the First Week in October. The encampment of National Guard troops at the Presidio will not take place until the first week in October, Last week the announcement was made that General Muller’s brigade, composed of troops from the Sacramenta and San Joaquin valleys, would probably go into camp at the Presi- dio on July 1, and remain there six days. This programme will probably be aban- doned in consequence of earnest protests from cities and towns within the brigade district against taking the companies’ arms from their respective local stations onJuly 4. In many towns preparations forcelebrating Independence day had been welladvanced and the programme gener- ally contemplated a parade of the troops. Last evening General Warfield, com- mending the Second Brigade, telegraphed the facts to Adjutant-General Barrett at Sacramento. The latter bad left the Capi- tol for Los Angeles before the dispatch was received, but the message was repeated to that city. Shoula the plans of the “Carnival of the Golden Gate”” be carried out, as sowe of the promoters of the festival desire, the military encampment at the Presidio in October will embrace the entire division— three brigades of the National Guard. Several efforts to bring all the State troops together on one field have failed on account of the great expense of transport- ing the men from Southern California to the place of the desired encampmeat. At Camp Columbus, Santa Cruz, three years ago, all the troops of the State ex- cepting the Seventh and Ninth Infantry regiments passed in review before Gov- ernor Markham and Major-General Di- mond. Another effort will now be made for a full division encampment, and since assurances of a very low rate of fare for this special purpose have been given the scheme will probably be successful. The National Guardsmen themselvesare enthusiastic on the subject, and the people of the various cities throughout the State will support the enterprise, as the depart- ure cf the troops in October will not inter- fere with pians for local celebrations. It is highly probable, therefore, that all the regiments will get the benefit of a camp of instruction at the Presidio, and that on the military day of the carnival the entire division will parade on Market street and be reviewed by the Governor on Van Ness avenue. It has long been the desire of the regi- ments located in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys and of the troops sta- tioned; in Los Angeles and San Diego to give Ban Fraucisco an object lesson, showing that military organizations of the highest grade exist outside of the metropolis, to Father Mulligan's address | Jand inthe exurberance of their spirits. this wise: | From Washington, D. C., has arrived | Harrison D. Barret, the president of the | National Spiritualists’ Association of the | United States, who is resgarded as the Spurgeon of the organization. The president has a mission. Itisto | cause the various scattered bands of be- | lievers in the West to coalesce and enter the organiz®d fold. Until now, though there are many who profess the beliet of the Spiritualists, there have been few who | belong to any society, but the arrival of | the Spiritualist leader is expected to change all this. “In unity lies strength” is Barrett's motto, and he irtends to put forth his { most earnest efforts to make a united | whole of all the believers in this part of the country. | From all over the State baye come the followers of Spiritualism, with hopes at high tide and minds elated at the prospect of what they think will be accomplished. | To-day, therefore, will witness the in- | tion of all believers. | Last night the president was given a re- | ception at 110 Hayes street by Dr. Rin-es | and Dr. York., The hall had been prettily decorated for the occasion with American bunting. Recitations by Mr. Rider, Mrs. George I. Drew and Miss Lottie Dryer were deli ered, various pieces of music were played by Professor Richard Young's orchestra and there were songs by local talent. President Barret delivered a speech, in to pursue in effecting an organization of the scattered forces. He also gave a brief outline of tbe body in the United States, its present status, what it has accom- plished and what it exvests to do 1n the future. “‘The object of the National Associa- tion,”” he eaid, *'is to secure the union of all the spiritual societies in the United States for the purpose of mutual aid in literary, scientific, philosophical, educa- tional, musicat and religious enter- prises germain to the phenomena, science, philowghy and religion of Spiritualism. t aims to protect | genuine mediumship from unjust | persecution, and from being classed with the charlatans and frauds who attempt to operate in the name of Spirltualism; to build homes for aged and indigent Spirit- ualistic mediums and speakers; to estab- lish hospitals and sanitariums, that our invnllids may be cared for by their own people. *‘1t also aims at the erection and main- tenance of schools of psychic science, to the end that we may have also a better equipped platform service and a higher order of membership along intellectual, moral and spiritual lines. S It also intends to establish a national library in which the best works of tie ablest writers of all ages can be found, and especially of books bearing opon the sub- ject of spiritualism in all its phases.”” Speaking of the number of believers in | the United States, he said there were about 620 organizations in the country, about 200 of which were represented in the National | society. The various societies owned property to the amount of about $1,100,000. The num- ber of temples and church buildings was given at seventy-five, “The number of the believers in this. country,” he continued, “is hard to de- termine, from the fact that our people are widely scattered, but from the most re- liable information that I can obtain there And the cause of its all has come about in | auguration of the movement for unifica- | | flags, wreaths and festoons of flowers and | which he outlined the policy he intended | | Macdonald commanding, to parade on this occasion. The Naval Battalion, Sons of the Ameri- can Revolution, Valentine Holt Society, | Sons and Daughters of the American ! Revolution ard several thousand public school children will participate in the parade and exercises. One beautiful and appropriate feature of | the ceremonies at the cemetery will be the strewing of flowers by the children over the graves of those who sleep within. KNIGHTS TEMPLAR FEAST. Reception to the Drill Corps of Golden Gate Com- mandery. | The Occasion Was Ons of Presenta- tions, Bri liznt Speeches ani Good Cheer. One of the most delightful social events | among the fraternal organizations of late | was the banquet and reception given in Golden Gate Hall last evening by Colonel F. W. Sumner to the Golden Gate Com- mandery Drill Corps, K. T. On April 25 | this arill corps gave a public drill and re- | ception in the Mechanics’ Pavilion for beneficiary purposes, and the commandant | of the corps thought it befitting to show { his appreciation of the efforts. That the affair was a success goes with- out saying, for whatever this commandery or its members undertake never fails, Last evening the officers and members of the commandery and corps enjoyed | themselves heartily until a late hour. The | time passed almost unnoticed at the ban- | quet table, partly owing to the enjoyment | of addresses, music and recitations, The | irst toast of the evening was “‘Golden | Gate Commandery and the Health of Its Commandant,” to which Eminent Com- mander Charles A. Murphy responded. “The First Commander of Goluen Gate Commandery, W. 0. Gould,” sponded to by the 8ir Knight himself. The commandant was himself greatly surprised by the drill corps presenting to Colonel Sumner a beautiful punchbowl, This elezant present was exhibited at the World’s Fair and at the Midwinter Fair, Another presentation was a set of solid old Golden Gate Commandery jewelry to éolonel William Edwards and Sir James G. Spaulding “From the drill corps of Golden Gate Commandery for loyal ser- vice.” One of the features of the evening was a vocal treat by E. de Kay Townsend, who sang “Oh, Promise Me.” So great was the appreciation that he was obliged to repeat the selection. Other toasts, songs and addresses followed. The hall was beautifully decorated. Among those pres- "ent were the following: J. R. Aitken, Robert McMillan, F) Hardje, L.

NOE CLAIMANTS STILL ACTIVE Another Summons Being Served on Property- Owners. FOUR THOUSAND STRONG The Mission Defense Association Actively Fighting the Claims. BITTER DENUNCIATIONS MADE Property-Owners Urgently Requested Not to Purchase Quitclaim | Decds. | At the opening of the meetine of the Mission Defense Union and the Mission | Improvement Union last evening, Secre- | tary Van Duzer called attention to the fact that another summons and complaint had been filed by the Noe heirsand that property-owners in the Mission were being served with copies. Nearly 4000 defendants are named in this last summons, all the property-own- | ers of the San Miguel Rancho Tract being incluéed. The defendants are summoned to appear before Department 7 of the Superior Court within ten days after the service of the summons and complaint, which are dated May 18, Secretary Van Duzer cautioned the members of che union not to buy gnit- claim deeds which are being offered to property-owners by the representatives of the Noe heirs for §5 and §$10 apiece. The special committee appointed to take measures in regard to these suits was called | upon. Judge Van Reynegom said that when the candidates for the Legislature should | be nominated they woula be asked to sup- porta bill to prevent such suits. President Grady declared that some- thing should be done immediately in re- gard to the matter. | ““The trouble,” said Judge Thompson, | *is not with the Spaniards or whoever they are who are bninging this suit, but with the lawyers. There is a section in | the Penal Code, which makes it an indict- | able offense for a lawyer to buy a_money claim in order to prosecute it. Will not this apply in this case? A lawyer who practically buys a claim which he knows or ought to know is fraudulent, as in the present case, ought to be immediately in- dicted for misdemeanor.” President Grady, John Bolger and oth- ers urged that steps be taken toward this | end, and that the City Attorney be seen in | regard to the matter. The foilowing reso- | lution in regard to the matter was intro- duced and unanimously adopted : WIEREAS, Certain attorneys-at-law have en- gaged in a damnable conspiracy with tae So- called Noe heirs to derraud owners out of their land and homes, which they have held in peaceable vpossession for the last torty years; and wherens, tney are going around to lot-pwners offering quitclaim | deeds for nothing, providing you will nave | them recorded; and whereas, this is a piece of | deception anda trap by which they wish to | make it appear that there are some people buy- | ing deeds when there are not, therefore be it | esolved, That we earnestiy request all land- owners in the Noe claim, buy no quitclaims, | but join the club that is organized to tight the frauas. _All present were earnestly requested to | sign the following petition relative to the | proposed park for the Mission: | Sax FrANCISCO, May 21, 1896. | To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of the | City and County of San Francisco: The under- | signed residents, property-owners and tax- payers of the Eleventh Ward of San Francisco | respectfully petition your honorable Board to make such appropriation of municipal funds ss may necessary to purchase during the next fiscal year, for blic park, the two blocks bounded by FEighteenth, Twentieth, Dolores and Church streeis, and | represent that such & park at the Mission is an | urgent necessity, and unless secured at onee land for the same will not be available except at greatly added expense. Secretary Van Duzer suggested that the | club request Joseph Leggett to address | them upon the subject of the single tax. A motion was accordingly carried that Mr. Leggett be requested to speak before the club on June 6, when the next meet- ing will be held, there being no regular meeting Saturday evening next on ac- | count of it being Decoration day. An ad- | journment was accordingly taken until | une 6. | { NEW TO-DA Restlessness. Fever, Congestion, laflammation, Heat, Pain, are perfectly controlled by Dr. Humphreys’ Homeopathic Specific No. 1.
