THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 1, 1896. FOR HARMONY IN REPUBLICAN RANKS The Executive Council and Its Aims and Prin- ciples. CLUB REPRESENTATION. How This Powerful Organization Is Formed for Party Control. PRECLUDES ONE-MAN POWER. The City and State Are Brought Into Close Touch by Its Existence. The Republican Executive Council is, as its name indicaves, the nucleus of an or- ganization formed in San Francisco in 1894 for the purpose of elevating the Republi- can clubs and bringing their members into closer union with each other by havinga representation in this executive body, where, if need be, a line of concerted ac- tion can be hsd and plans formuiated by which the entire machinery of the party may be concentrated for effectual work. Asa party orgzanization it does notin any manner trench on the duties, powers or prerogatives of either the State Central or County Committee, or the indi- clubs, but acts as a harmonizer if any exigency should arise in the ranks of the party. The first article of the constitution ex- rlains the object for which the committee is called nto existence. ts objects are: ster and promote har- n party of the State of To maintain and advocate the prin- rty as they may be from time and enunciated by its re- efforts for the nomin- ns and honest and 10 sll in our power to secure the regularly nominated candidates pubiican par give such aid and counsel to 1 Republican officers during their term flice as the conductof such officers shall erein, and to rests at all times n ases, accoraing to qualifications end snth—To assist in all Republican work to promote and perfect organization within the Republican party of the State of Cali- fornia. In 1894 the Union League, then and now a powerful Republican organization, com- posed of the best and most influential members of the party, conceived the idea that the forming of a political organization ieand regularly established bs having a membership of 00 or more members should meet and consult for the best objects of the party, elected ntatives, who with others rst council by electing the is, president; Edgar Briggs, ; Robert A. Friedrich, sec- lliam Cluff, treasurer; During the following year the same offi- cers were re-elected, with the exception of the secretary, Oscsr Tolle having been sub- stituted for John M. Days. In June, 1895, the following officers were electea for the term of one year: oney, president; Eagar Briggs, first Robert A. Friedrich, second F. Hansen, treasurer; Oscar ty Hall, secretary. committee — H. C. Firebsugh en), J. A. Whitesides, new City Hall, Francisco (secretary), General John Mc- jeld, A. L. Ballou, H: W. . Gener d , T. B. Morton, Hansen.. One member from each delegation edded 10 the executive committee. The following named organizations are represented: The Union League Club, Bear Club, Morrow Club, Legion of Repub- Ircan Clubs, Beaver Club, Veteran Soldiers’ ) ilors’ Club, Unity Republic: Slavonian Republican ted Railroad Club, Rank and File | Club, Woman’s Central Kepublican Club, | a number of district clubs and the Afro- American League, which organizations represent as & whole over 14,000 voters, but not including the Woman's Club, which as yet has not but soon hopes to se- cure the bailot. a recent meeting of the executive | committee of the counci! it was decided to nominate a representative in each Sena- orial district of the State to carry out the | bjects of the council with a view to have | the entire State interested in the silver | question and in the National Convention. ! “'As new clubs are organized their dele- gates are duly accredited to the council, and in this way each Assembly Districtis | fairly and equally represented. This | would prevent the possibility of centraliz- ing the power of the party. The object is to have the people take charge of and manage the politics of the party, making it an impossibility for one man power to dictate the policy, or the actions of the whole. The council at all times upholds the principle that of right all power belongs to and should emanate from the people, and furthermore, that the voice and will of the people, through their oreanizations, ghall ever be a fundamental and controi- ling principle. 3 As a prerequisite for membership in the council every delegate shall take and subscribe to the following pledge, viz. : I have read the constitution and by-laws of the Republican Executive Council, and I fully indorse the same,and hereby pledge myself 10 support the principles and platiorm of the Republican party &s irom time to time enun- clated by the party organization,and I also pledge Tayself "to_ support to the bestof my bility the ticket indorsed or nominated by this council, and in ell political action to give my first allegiance to the council untram- eltd and uncontrolled by any and all outside influences. At PRINCIPAL OFFICERS OF THE REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. CROWDS AT THE BEACH, A Possibility That the Sutro Line of Cars Will Pay a Dividend. Fioral Curiosities in the Conserva- tory—Il ness of Superintend- ent McLaren. The people who went out yesterday for recreation and pleasure and chose to find iting the ocean beach and the attractions there, and others the park and the Haight- street grounds. During the early part of the day the ocean-bound railroad cars did a zood busi- ness. Superintendent Van Frank of the Sutro line, speaking of his road, said: *It Las been doing well, and if we get through with the month of June without any acci- dent it is very likely that the road will be able to pay a dividend.” Superintendent McLaren of Golden Gate Park has been confined to his home for several days by an attack of bilious- ness, but yesterday he was very much im- proved, and he will be able to be outina few days. in the grounds around the new music con- course, and the trees recently planted there have all taken root and are flouri: ing. The roadsaround the court are bei put in condition for teams and bicycles. The annex to the museum is rapidly ap- proaching completion, and were the cases in which the exhibits are to be placed ready it would not be many days before the ex could be thrown open to the pubi A remarkable fact is that two week have passed by without any dona- “tions worthy of mention being made to the museum. Head Gardener Holbrow, in charge of the conservatory, is hapny because he has some new and interesting blossoms to show. Over the entrance to the western section of the large glass house are creep- | ing vines, that meet and form a beautiful canopy of dark green foliage, showing be- | tween the leaves some yery pretty purple | flowers. | “There,” said Mr. Holbrow, ‘‘is the Mex- ican morning glory; very much like our | own, but of & more brilliant color. Then | here we have the California pitcher plant, which comes from the vicinity of Castle Crags, and here in the camelia house is in full bloom & remarkable flower. “‘Botanically itis called Aristolochia, but the common name is the duck flower. As you see it is brown and black, and from a short stem isan appendage shaped like a | large ivy leaf. One portion of the flower is like a duck’s head, and.if you place the | leaf-like portion of it over the stem you have a perfect imitation of a duck. | “We also have,” continued Mr. Hol- | brow, ‘‘a very pretty orchid, a white and | purple flower, patterned somewhat after | the Holv Ghost flower. It manages to | bloom, though it does bear the name of | Odontoglossum crispum. It is from the | high altitudes of Colombia, south of Pan- | ama. We also have in bloom two magnifi- cent flowers, white and pink, bell-shaped, and g,nch looks as if it were made of pure wax. The good alrudly accomplished by this Fxecutive Council shows the wisdom of its founders, as it has cemented, 80 to speak, the Republican party not only in this City, but throughout the entire State, and rauch benefit may be expected from its in- fluence in the coming campaign. After the annual election of officers next month steps will be taken to infuse vigor and renewed activity into the clubs al- ready organized, and in districts whers no clubs have yet been established the crowd will take action and see that every Sena- torial and Assembly district will bave clubs and representatives in the adminis- tration of the part; "Alta Gun Club. The weekly shoot of the Alta Gun Club was held yesterday at the Seven-mile House. The conditions were 25 blue rocks, known traps, unknown angles, and the following was_the ord of breaks: Holden 17, Vernard 11, Rob- on 10, Stange 10, Buss 15, Cull 20, J. an 13, Adams 5, J.

COURSING IN THE PARKS Results of the Stakes Decided Yester- day at Ocean View and Ingle- side Resorts. No better coursing weather than that of | yesterday could be imnagined, and as a consequence the parks were well patron- | ized. At Ocean View a thirty-two dog stake, in which many local favorites were en- | tered, brought out a good crowd of the | betting ““fancy,” and while short-end win- | | ners were numerous the interest did not | flag until Electric put out White Chief in | the final. | The hares were a lively lot that gave the | | dogs plenty of trouble to catch them, and | | the judging and slipping were of the best.

Detectives Ross Whitaker and Sey- mour arrived about midnight from New York with Charles Becker and James Cree- gan, the two forgers accus d of commit- ting, along with A. H. Dean, the $22,000 forgery on the Nevada Bank last De- cember. Capt. Lees and Captain Haines of the | Pinkerton Agency were in waiting in the former’s office. Becker and Creegan were taken before them, but they positively re- fused to say anything. They were sent to the prison and locked up for the night. Tuey also declined to make any statement to the press representatives, saying they wished to consult an attorney tirst. Becker is & short, stout man, very unlike the one supposed to be the prince of forgers. Creegan looks more like a dude and smoked a briar-root mpe from the time he reached the prison until locked up for the nighbt. The delectives spoke of the courteous reception they had been accorded in New- ark, N. J.,and in New York City. ———— Private Secretarie: When a man gets hold of a good private secretary he generally pushes him into a comfortable berth for life. Many of the foremost men of the day in various walks of life were private secretaries. Dan La- mont is a conspicuous example. Colonel Timothy Williams is another. Williams was the reporter who attracted Governor Hill’s attention and became his secretary. He was also secretary to Governor Fiower. He is now on the high road to prosperity. Besides owning a large interest in a news- paper, he is secretary of a prosperous rail- road coiapany in Brooklyn. By and by we shall have Lamont & Williams, the responded to a still alarm of fire.

The Best Exhibition of Cricket Given on Local Grounds This Year. The second day of the “Ground vs. Ground” cricket match opened yesterday, the weather being ideal, and, with the in- terest felt in the issue of the game, attract- ing a very respectable gatnering of specta- tors to the scene of the contest at Alameda. West and Cookson of Golden Gate re- sumed their places at the wickets. They and the three other men to go in just managed to put up 28 runs, bringing up the total to 84, or 64 less than their op- ponents on the first inning. The Alamedas started their second essay with Captain Hogue and Price at the wicket. The former was disposed of fora cipher, West catching him off one of Billy Robertson’s off breaks. G. Theobald of the Pacitics having contributed a half dozen, and G. A. Mutch, the Pacifics’ “savior,” following suit with twice that number, they were followed by the ever- reliable Teddy. Hood. He secorided his 52 of Saturday with a well-played 46, when he was caught by Martin. Cassidy (Pa- cifics) added 19 runs more. There were no other double figures, and the total at the end of the innings was just 87. With 151 runs against them the Golden Gate men started their second inning. Their captain, *‘the only Robertson,” was uniortunate enough to succumb to a yorker of Peel's for a single. Had it not been for Martin, Townsley, Smith and Thomas—all of whom played a plucky, up- hill game—the side would not have macre so creditable a showing as it did. Asit was, a total of 95 was compiled, making the grand total 179, and giving Alaméda | the game by 56 runs. The fielding on both sides was excellent and the game, as a spectacle, was a treat.

F. 0. YOUNG WAS SECOND BEST. Smith Carr Beat Ei1 Hovey in a Smal! R.fle Contest—Colonel S. Beav- er’s Fine String. It was an off day among the riflemen yesterday, but an interesting match was shot at the Shell Mound range. Tt was made up by several members of the Co- lumbia Pistol and Ritle Club three weeks ago. The conditions were fifty shots at 200 yards, offhand, $5 entrance, open to all comers. It was decided that every flag for a hit in the inch center would entitle the lucky marksman to $1 for each, and after the flags and expenses were paid the man making the best fifty-shot score should have 60 per cent of the remainder, and the man making the best ten-shot score would receive 40 per cent. By this arrangement the poorer shots had a chance of winning a prize. As stated, the matter was open to ‘all, but the Columbia’s men were the only ones to enter the contest. A number of remarkably good runs were made. One of the riflenien in particular, E. F. Mason, astonished those who wiinessed his per- formance. Mr. Mason shoots in the sec- ond class, but yesterday he held his own among the champions.” In his second run of 10 Mr. Mason kept all of his shots within the 8 ring (Columbian target), which would have been a possible on a Creedmoor. On the total he was only four points behind W. Glindemann, who is one of the best shots on the coast. F. 0. Young was another to make a Creedmoor possible in his last string. At one time it was believed that Young was going to carry off the prize for the best total, but D. W. McLaughlin got in a couple of good strings and went out ahead by 23 points. A. H. Pape came near getting left out in the cold, but on his forty-ninth shot he brought up Old Glory and won $1. In computing the scores by the German ring target system it was founa that sev- eral runs were better than a 22 German ring record. On the Columbia target a score of 60 is equivalent to a 22-German ring average, and yesterday three men beat a 22-average. In'the following scores it will be remem- bered that on the Columbia target each figure represents the diameter of the circle hit, in inches. The scores and totals stand: Fi 5 2 13 Grand total. F. O.

There was considerable pistol practice among the members of the Columbia Pistol and Riflc Club on the 50-yard range near the riffe range. Colonel Samuel Beaver introduced a . 25-caliber 10-inch Stevens and with Smith Carr, Ed Hovey, Mr. Kenister and Young made some ex- periments in black and nitro nim fice cart- ridges. It was found that both kinds of ammunition work well and fine results were obtained from this pistol which has never been extensively used on this coast in target practice. Attaching a skeleton rifle stock to the firearm Colonel Beaver sent four bullets into the one inch center bullseye at 50 yaris. His fifth shot wasa 2. This is the nearest that any one has everapproached a possibieon the Columbia target. For a while there was considerable inter- est manifested in a 22-caliber, 50-shot rifle match between Smith Carr and Ed Hovey, distance.50 yards. Carr made a run of five centers in six shots, which put him in the lead which he kept to the end of,lshe he match, which he won by 18 points. scores were as follows: Smith Carr, Grand total. E.

Charles Ekman, sitting in a chair in bis bedroom at 411} Natoma street, with a bullet hole in the right side of his head, was what Edward Tracy saw when he looked into the apartment vesterday. That it was a case of suicide left no doubt, as the mstol with which the deed bad been committed was clinched in the right hand of the deceased. An examination of the dead man’s ef- fects by Deputy Coroner Tyrrell showed that he'had but recently been discharged from the Agnews insane asylum, as a doe- ument bearing Dr. Haich's signature cer- tified to that fact. Ekman, previous to his being commit- ted to the asylum, was ‘occupied as a waiter in a restaurant. DEEDS OF MISSION TOUGHS. An Aged Peadler Assaulted and a Sa- loon Raided by the Ga Fred Mills, a peddler, aged 60 years. was set upon in the Mission last night about 7:30 o’clock by five voung toughs named Alexander McDonald, Joseph Walsh, James Burns, Thomas Murphy and Henry Dcyle. McDPonald, who acted as ringleader, seizec 1 stick which the aged peddler had and struck him over the leftarm, breaking the limb. Thus disabling the helpless man, they despoiled him of his httle stoek, leaving him suffering on the street. Not satistied with this, the gang next raided the saloon of S. Basso. The police were informed and Mounted Officers Smith and Wenzler. with the assistance of Patrolman Nyhan, rounded them up and took them to the Seven- teenth-street station, where Mills 1denti- E_ed McDonald as the one who assaulted im. McDonald was charzed with assault with a deadly weapon, and the others with malicious mischief. The injured man was taken to the City and t'.Cmml._y Hospital for medical treat- men DR. JOSEPH PESCIA, THE NE ‘W ITALIAN CONSUL-GENERAL. DR, PESCIA ATTHE HELM ToDay He Will Assume the Office of Consul of Italy. The Italian Colony Hope That the Gentieman Will Long Retain the Position, To-day Dr. Joseph Pescia will assume the duties of the office of Italian Consul in the place of Chevalier Francesco Bruni Grimaldi, who has been called nome to look after his personal interests. The fact also that Mrs. Grimaldi is in Armenia gives him great anxiety and has hastened his departure, whici, but for the resignation of his secretary would have been made a month earlier. Dr. Joseph Pescia possibly will take the position only temporarily, as he isa man of large wealth and though vet young is even now t(rying to lighten the duties which his profession exacts of him by turning over the larger part of his prac- tice to two other physicians. The doctor some years ago married one of the daughters of the late millionaire Myles D. Sweensy, who was president of the Hibernia Bank, and thus he added another fortune to his own, which was then of generous proportions. Eignt years azo he was elected Super- visor, running ahead of his ticket by a large majority. Since that time the doc- tor has twice rejected the Democratic nomination for Mayor, and has also re- fused to go to the Legislature. He is looked up to by members of the Ttalian colony more, perhaps, than any other citizen of the Pacific Coast, and they express the hope that he will retain the othce as long as poseible. The position is worth nearly $10,000 a year, but the doctor is not in need of this. 10 FORIIFY SHN DIEGD Mayor Carlson Returns From Washington With an Ap- propriation. Two New Roads Soon to Be Built Into the Southern Port—The Mayor to Run' for Congress. W. H. Carlson, Mayor of San Diego, ar- rived in this City yesterday on his way home after a three weeks’ business and po- litical trip to New York and Washington. He is personally and politically interested in the construction of two short railroad lines soon to be built, with San Diego as their common terminus. One of these railroads, to be known as the Southern California and Salt Lake Railroad Compeany,will connect the places indicated by its name. When completed it will give the southern partof the State a line to Salt Lake shorter than the Santa Fe road by 1247 miles, and shorter than the Central Pacific route by 500 miles. The new road will be from Manvel, sixty miles from The Needles, to Milford, a dis- tance of 260 miles. Five years ago the Union Pacific built forty miles on the prospective line, and in addition to that the road for a distance of 100 miles is graded. So the actual work will be to construct about 150 miles of roadbed. In conjunction with the short line to Salt Lake the same promoters purpose to build a line to Yuma, to be called the San Diego and Pheenix Railroad Company. As a guarantee of the road’s success a committee of San Diego citizens—ex-Mayor Sherman, Alderman Prout and State Har- bor Commissioner D. C. Reed—has been appointed to raise $480,000 to insure 4 per cent of the net proiits for the first three years and also to obtain rights-of-way for the entire distance and all needed terminal depot grounds in San Diego. Mayor Carlson says that work will be begun on these two railroads in ninety days. The intention is to have them com- pleted in a year and a half. His visit to Washington was to secure an appropriation for fortifications for San Diego harbor, the City Council having passed a resolution to that effect in spite of Congressman Bowers’ assurance that there was no use to make the attempt. Mayor Carlson went on and, by Senator Perkins' assistance, as he explains, San | Diego got $400,000 for fortifications. It seems that twenty-seven years ago, at the request of the War Department, San Diego | i i:)“ 1400 acres on the bluff about Point ma for fortifications to protect her ex- | tensive harbor. These grounds will now be used for the purpose intended and San Diego given a battery that will not permit of a repetition of the Itata incident of five years ago, when the Chilean vessel deliberately sailed out of the bay without any power to hin- der her. Mayor Carlson, although but 32 years of age, is now serving his fifth term as chief executive of Ban Diego. He has always run on the independent ticket, and at one election got more votes than the regular Republican, Democratic and Populist candidates combined. The platform on which he has been elecied was one declaring for competing rajiroads into San Diego, and his present work 1s in conformance with that principle. He says that Spreckels by building the Valley road has done more to settle the railroad question of freights and fares in California than all the commissions ever in office for that express purpose. Recently at the urgent request of his friends Mayor Carlson has come out as a candidate for Congress to represent the | Southern District from San Diego County north to Stanislaus. “There are just three sections in my latform,” said he last night at the Grand otel. ‘‘One—I favor high protective tar- iff on foreign fruit, for the benefit of the fruit-erowers of the district I aspire to represent. Two—I am in favor of an ap- propriation for a public building in each county seat in that district, in order to save paying rent. Three—I believe in railroad competition as a means for ass inz in the full development of California’s great resources.’’ As to local affairs San Diego’s Mayor says that an ele tion is called for June 27 to approve of the contract entered into be- tween that city and the water company, by which the cily would purchase the sys- tem for $1,500,000. San Diego’s lemon in- dustry is increasing to such an extent, Mr. rison says, that it 1s estimated that the | of productive trees, San Diego will ship 4000 carloads of fruit, or over ten carloads a day. e A collier saysit takeseight pounds of | gunpowder to loosen 100 tons of coal.
