THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1896 5 WHY NOT WHOOP UP OLD GLOAY? Will Give an Unrivaled Celebration on the Fourth. MUCH WORK BEING DONE Committee of One Hundred and Fiity Are Rapidiy z Preparing. GRAND ELECTRICAL DISPLAY, Suggestions Desired for Unique and Novel Fireworks and City Decorations. The Fourth of July committee of one d fifty is rapidly perfecting for the grand celebration on 1g National holiday. Sofar the turned out finally that Burns won the suit, and the deed was never revoked. | Ir 1891 General Dickinson obtained judg- |ment for James Hogan against Robert | Burns for $1200. The case was appealed, and the Supreme Court affinmed the judg- ment. But Hogan could not get his money. After an ineffectual attempt he | let the matter drop, and thought his suit | was hopeless, until his attorney, Walter Linforth, discovered some legal compli- cation overlooked by the other attorneys | who had previously handlei the case. | Under the judgment obtained by Hogan | the propertv was sold to him by the Sheriff | for $200. Burns failed to redeem, and the | Sheriff issued to Hogan a deea of Buras’ | interest in the property. On an order of examination supplemen- | tary to judgment it was found that the | first deed to Hanlon from Burns was void | for want of con-ideration. Then it was | that the trust deed’s existence was discov- |.ered, and under the Supreme Court de- | cision in the Walkerley case the suit will | now be prosecuted on the supposition that the Hanlon deeds are void, snd if the Sheriff's deed to Hogan holds good he | will get this handsome property for §200— a pretty technicality for lawyers and a moral for laymen. TURNING THE TIDE. The State Board of Trade Will Endeav- to Secure Eastern Colonists. J. A. Filcher, manager of the California State Board of Trade, has been consider- ing a plan for increasing the population of the State by inducing a desirable class of home builders _to come to California instead of searching for locations in other parts of the United States. At the Atlanta, Ga., exposition he learned that while hundreds of people | desired to locate in this State they were kept away by the impression that the | price of land was toohigh.

Interesting and Complicated Legal Points Concerning Trust and Steriff Deeds. A singular case is soon to come to trial in th ity, which involves the disposition of $60,000 worth of property. ‘he validity of two deeds constitute the pivotal and vital points in the case, and if ne of the two is pronounced invalid the intiff will get.§60,000 worth of property As the story goes, a man by the of Burns died several years ago and left his two sons valuable property at the northwest corner of Pine and Battery streets. Robert T. Burns deeded his half- interest in the property to his wife, who in turn deeded 1t to C. F. Hanlon in trust for their minor child. Thus, at that time the properiy stood a half in Hanlon’s name as and the other half in the name of s’ brother. The brother died and left his half to Robert T. In 1885, so the complaint sets forth, Robert Burns deeded his original haif- interest and that inherited from his brother to Hanlon, in order to defeat a iudgment then pending against him. It . Spreckels expressing his | ect in the City Hall and | the Brooklyn | | bave been turning to the Southern States in their search for cheaper lands and homes. Itis known that within the past six months half a dozen large colonies have gone to Alabama and Georgia for no | other reason than that the land is cheaper there than here. Now as a fact there is plenty of good farming land for sale in California and the impression as to the high prices 1s based to |a great extent upon what is published concerning real estate in the southern part of the State. In the middle and northern parts of California there is plenty of cheap Jand where even the semi-tropical fruits can be raised at a profit. Mr.Filcher’s proposition is to raise money for “missionary” purposes in the East. More literature descriptive of available cheap California farming landsand general information shoula be published, he thinks, and distributed in the E: active agents for the Board of Tr: be sent to the large cities of the East and lturn to the West these large bodies of homeseekers now headed for the South- ern States. As stated, ail this requires money, and this feature is now occupying Mr. Filcher’s attention. His first move has been to start out two active canvassers to visit the local whole- sale merchants, business men and those who hold large tracts of unoccupied land. Last evening these men reported having met with success, and the subscriptions obtained will form the nucleus of a fund for the purposes stated. In a short time large quantities of at- tractive reading matter will be sent where it will do_the most good in the East, and the Board of Trade will constitute itself a local bureau of information. LYNCH'S STRONG CHARGE, A Contractor Claims That City + Hall Specifications Were, Changed. | New Plans Will Be Drawn for the Construction of the Perma- nent Roof. Asiightsensation wassprung inthe meet- | ing of the Board of New City Hall Commis- | sioners yesterday when M. C. Lynch, an | unsuccessful bidder for the contract for the | steel and copper work of the roof, charged that favoritism had been shown in the ! making out of the specifications for the | work. He charged that the specifications on which the San Francisco Noveity and Plating Works, the successful bidders, had | based their calculations called for *‘three- | ounce’’ copper forsheathing, while those he had réceived called for ‘‘three-pound” copper. When asked for his authority for the charge Lynch mentioned the name of Cal- vin Nutting, but when that individual was called for he failed to respond. | Anuditor Broderick remarked that the charge was a most serious one, and asked | a number of contractors who were present | whether they had understood the specifi- cations to be different from those received by the Plating Works. All replied in the negative. The commissioners decided that Lynch’s charge was too absurd to be seriously con- sidered, and awarded the contract to the plating’ works for $83,311 46, !~ Resolutions were passed to print award- ing contracts as follows: To the Califor- nia Travertine Company, for $16,534, the contract for the marble work on the first floor; 1o W. H. McCormick, for $4156 80, the contract for the Kimball marble work on the second floor; to the Amador Marble Company, for $5351 50, the contract for the marble work on the ground stairway; to Cahbill & Hall, for $3675, the contract for the new elevator, and to F. N. Woods & Co., for $900, the plain glasswork. The architect was instructed to issue new plans and specifications for the roof and bring its cost within the amount at | the disposal of the commissioners. T — A Political Club Reorganized.

DEFIES HIS ASSAILANTS States That Despite Prediction His Church Continues to Breathe Liberty. HIS SPEECH AT ST. IGNATIUS. Illustrated Scientific Discourses at the College’s Annua! Graduating Exercises. “They seem to be afraid that our old Pope, over 86 vears of age, will come over and kidnap Grover Cleveland,” said Most Reverend ‘Archbishop P. W. Riordan, D.D., last evening in delivering an address to the graduates, and & large audience, at the thirty-seventh annual commencement exercises of St. Ignatius College, at Haves street and Van Ness avenue. The arch- bishop referred to the American Protec- tive Association. St. Ignatiug’ isa Jesuit college. Continuing, bis said: “They are so afraid of the Jesuits that they would not have a statue of Marquette put into the capitol. Thirty or forty years ago, when I was a boy, there was some- thing of the same agitation going on that there is now. They said the old church cannot live here. They said it needed to be supported by monarchies and thrones, and that it could not live in an atmos- phere of liberty—in a republic. To-day they say we bave our hands on everything and so they are afraid as I have said. But the old church still stands. It stands,” said the Archbishop, using a figure of speech suggested by the main feature of the com- mencement exercises, ‘“‘as a lighthouse by the sea. The old lighthouse still stands, in storm and sunshine, and sheds its light. It stands solidly on .a rock and gives a light which passeth not away.” These sentiments were applauded. Referring particularly to St. Ignatius College Archbisiop Riordan said: “We and this magnilicent institution. the past year we have heard a great many things about us. to know is, how these professors educate these boys and receive nothing. This in- stitution has not $1 of endowment. “In its scientific depariment it is more advanced than any college in the Stat Anybody can build & church or an eccles astical institution, but the intellectual and spiritual edifice which these professors build up in the minds of young men is of vastly more importance. They are the real tower builders of the age. They light the light of Christian xnowledge which shall guide them through eternity. “In the experience of 1900 ybars there is but one sure light to follow. That is the light which comes from our Lord, who says, ‘I am the light of the world.” No human philosophy is better. The old lighthouse of the Catholic church still stands.” When the graduating exercises opened the large faculty sat in a semi-circle in the first row of chairs before the stage, with Archbishop Riordan and President Ed- ward Allen in the center. The prospect of the stage was made pleasing and somewhat mystifing by clus- ters of mirrors and scientific_instruments. The only bright spot in the hall, for dark- ness prevailed during most of the occa- sion, was & screen on the stage on which was thrown the brilliant focus of stereop- ticon pictures. : An overture by an instrumental quintet ered in Latin an introductory welcome ad- dress. from the speech of the Archbishop was a scientific lecture on *‘Lighthouses, Their Building and tllumination.” Robert Richards, gne of the graduates, appeared as a sillouetle before the big screen, pointer in hand, and told about the building of the lichthouse tower. As he proceeded pictures of all kinds of lighthouses, from the Pharos of Alex- andria and the Colossus of Rhodes to the most moderu lighthouses on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of this country, were thrown upon the screen. The pictures were rather indistinct, being thrown from behind, but they served their purpose. He traced the history of lighthouses from the first beacons on promontories to New Y ork harbor and the Golden Gate, delivering a discourse which doubtless furnished in- formation to the grayest and baldest heads in the audience. A violin selection by John Marquardt, with piano accompaniment, “Fantasie, Sarasate,” was encored, and he responded. John L. Mulrenin, another graduate, liberally instructed the audience on the lighting of the lighthouse. This young man’s talk was even tech- nically scientific, and his familiarity with the subject of lights, prisms, refractions, etc., commanded the respect of his hear- ers. Various kinds of lighthouse illumi- nations were illustrated in lamps, reflect- ors and other apparatus on the stage. The assistants for both these lectures were graduates John M. Kelly, Francis Morton, Richard C. Tobin Jr. and Francis Reichling. Two_more selections by the instru- mental quintet were given, and between them came the awardingof handsome gold and silver medals and books to the pupils whose scholarship and deportment had won them. Archbishop Riordan pinned on the medals and distributed the diplo- mas. The awards were as follows: The degree of bachelor of arts was con- ferred on John L. Mulrenin (with praise), Francis A. Norton, Francis Reichling, Joseph M. Kelly, Robert H. Richards and Richard C. Tobmn. Gold medal for the best essay in “Philosophy of Religion,” George J. Cleary; special men- tion, Francis L.

SUENCE WITHOLT MONEY Capable Trustees in Charge Will Pilot the Academy of Sciences. Taxes Play Havoc With the Small Income, but All Current Bills Are Paid. The announcement in THE CALL of yes- terday that the California Academy of Sciences was in a rather constrained posi- tion financially was received with mixed feelings of astonishment and regret. Men who have long admired the acad- emy and its work in the field of science were sorry to learn that the institution was hard pressed for money. | Those who knew what the academy has | accomplished were in fact pained at the ! prospect of a possible discontinuance of the scientific research which kept California | before the world. They foresaw a sudden end, for some time at least, of the splen- | did efforts of such men as Dr. Eisen, Professor Loomis and others, and in more than one instance it was stated : ow is a time when men of wealth ought to come to the aid of the | academy, as old Charles Crocker did long | ago, and help it on in the interest of sci- | ence.” | Of course it must not be understood that | | he academy is not able to meet its debts, | | or that the credit of its board of trustees is mpaired in any way. |1 | The situation, as outlined in TmE Cari, | is this: The academy bas not sufficient income, now that it is wholly clear of the Lick trust, to carry on its work as hereto- | | fore, and the strictest economy must be | employed to keep its head above water. | Tndeed, the trustees have accepted the sit- | uation and instituted a regime of strict economy. Salaries have been cut down and all ex- | penses reduced, and this means that the | | scientific work has been curtailed; that this paper or that may not be published as | | part of the proceeaings of .the institution; | | that expeditions may not be sent out for | original work in the field, which is all im- portant to the advancement of science; that, in short, the unlimited and endless | work of the curators js retarded for the want of money. With the money at its disposal the academy cannot pursue its scientific work | in keeping with its facilities and its staff | of curators. W. S. Keys of the board of trustees had |a plan to sell tne building on Market | street or rent it all for a good income. | General uucius H. Foote, treasurer of the trustees, stated yesterday that such a plan | was not possible under the law or condi- tions of the trust. General Foote declared that the institu- tion was not bankrups. ‘‘But,” he ad- | mitted, “we are compelled to be very economical in everything to keep within our means.” He made a statement of the financial condition of the ,academy, which was really favorabie. “The academy property is assessed for | $360,000,"” he said, ‘‘and there is not a | dollar owing on it. We have loaned out | $98,548 46 at 7 per cent, and in what is | known as the Crocker fund—a donation | from Charies Crocker—we have $20,000 in | Southern Pacific bonds bearing interest of 6 per cent. ““We have $5000 cash in bank and owe | about $10,000. Within the last year we received about $90,000 from the settlement of the Lick trust. The academy is worth about §600,000 to-day. Our gross’ income is about $28,000. “Last year we took about $8000 out of bank and loaned it out at 7 per ¢ nt. That left us short of ready money. We had to pay taxes for thefirst time, as the property Was given over by the Lick trust to the academy trustees during the year. Now that is an expenditure of 2.25 per centum on $360,000, a heavy draft on our treasury that should not be made at all It is wrong to tax a scientific institution. “The academy should not be taxed. We hope the taxes will be much less this year, or that we may be able to have them re- duced. “‘Then last year the academy did a great deal ot work, very high-class work, and ublished papers that were expensiye. robably these publications exceeded those of any other similar institution in the country. It issaid they actually were double as large as the publications of other academies. ““We bave had to cut down expenses. Curators are working for $70 a month. Imagine these scientific men giving up their time, devoting themselves wholly to their work for $70 a month! It isonly their love for science that makes it possi- bie. Expenses for each department for alcohol, chemicals and little things do not exceed $60 a year on an average. “The great point now being made by the trustees is to keep within our income. Still we hope to publish quite a number of articles apd illustrations this year, such papers as those of Dr. Jordan, Professor Ritter of the University of California, and others, likely Dr. Eisen’s on his wonderful discovery, and some other articles. “All current bills are paid up to date. At the regular monthly meeting of the trustees to-day they were passed upon, and the question of publishing wasalso discussed. As for selling the building, we cannot sell and never will sell.” ——— A Persian regiment on the march is a strange spectacie. Every three soldiers have a donkey, for there is neither bag- age train nor commissariat. On the don- ey is placed the worldly wealth of its proprietors and their muskets.

GOLDBUGS CCNFIDENT, But the Silver Men Are Sure of Victory and of Downing Daggett. A PROBABLE JUNTA DEFEAT. The Populist State Executive Com- mittee Gives Long Hours to Campaign Plans. The Democratic State Convention is going to give the new woman a black eye. This ungallant deed will be accomplished by refusing to indorse in the platform the proposed eleventh amendment to the con- stitution, bestowing suffrage on woman. The report of the committee on platform | and resolutions will notmention the better | half of society, and if some friend of the | equal suffrage cause bravely gets upin the | convention and offers a resolution that | would please the workers in the cause of | woman hewill be downed without elaporate | ceremony. The statement is based on the almost | universal expression ot sentiment and | opinion that one may hear throughout the Democratic party from North to| South. The party will be against woman | suffrage, partly through sentiment and partly through the operation of practical | political perceptions. The ladies who are most actively labor- { ing in the cause have clight if any hope that the fourth State Convention to be | held by political parties will do what the | three others have unanimously done. | Miss Anthony and other ladies propose to | be on hand at S8acramento, however. The principal cause of this attitude is generaliy explained to be the toreign ele- | ment. This element naturally takes a conservative view of the proposition in shared by othersin the party, that sumptu- | ary legislation might follow when the women vote. Others oppose it simply in recognition of this feeling. | There are many warm supporters of the saffrage cause amony Democrats, but they concede that the majority will be against it. When the Trinity County delegatior: was elected the only iustructions it re- ceived were to oppose woman sufirage. | The bardest workers in the administra- tion cause are keeping up their licks and maintaining their faith that gold will control the State Convention, but the sil. | ver men are gaining fresh courage as the | party tide throughout the Union turns with increasing volume and speed toward | silver. | A week ago the party issue in this State was extremely doubtful, with the chances ! largely in favor of the administration-gold machine, which was effectively organized, powerful and assiduously at work against the unorganized silver element. | The rout of the administration forces in Kentucky the other day has made 1ts effect felt here, though not as strongly as in some other States. - Thiseffect is naturatly to wesken the gold forcesand strengthen the silver ones by turning with the tide | doubters and those who look for the win- ning side. But this is in a large measure offset by the fact that the Federal machine is espe- cially strong and effective in this State. | The practical political power wielded | through patronage has nothing to do with | political economy. The Federal brigade | forces are held firmly in line. They are ! still confident of victory. g This confidence is, of course, based on | the calculation that the Junta delegation, | controlled by Daggett, Rainey and Me- | Nab, will be seated, and that the rival | delegation, representing the bulk of the party, will be thrown out. If the Junta delegation were to be seated the victory of the gold and administration forces would unquestionably be secured, as but about 140 additional delegates from all the rest, of the State would be needed. It is the prospect that the State Conven- tion will not turn the party in this City over to Rainey, Daggett and McNab and their small coterie of followers which chiefly promises a victory for silver at Sac- ramento. N The Buckleyites are pledeed to silver and to anti-funding resolutions and favor Foote, Maguire and White for delegates-at- large to Chicago, all of whom are bitterly opposed by the Junta. The silver men are not inciined to sacrifice fheir cause on account of a family quarrel in San Fran- cisco, and an increasing number of lead- ing silver advocates are quietly latting it be known that they are not going to back up the Daggett-Rainey-McNab gold dele- gation. Added to thisis the anti-Daggett senti- ment that pervades the party. Daggettis resurrected after twelve years in the polit- cal tomb and he would be the party boss in this State with the State Central Com- mittee in his pocket, and with control of the machine when the State campaign opens two years hence. The animosities that were born at the Stockton convention of 1884 when Daggett was read out of the party as a traitor, in the platform of that year, will flame anew, and with old-time heat at Sacramento on the 16th of June. There is a widespread rejudice against Daggett and against the ‘ederal brigade of which he 1s chief, and this opposition will be visited with all its strength on the Junta delegation, which Dageett will wield at his pleasure if it is seated. Combined with the anti-Daggett feeling will be hostility to McNab and Frank Gould, who are hel'Fmg Daggett with his slate programme. This hostility is partly due to the wide impression that McNab and Gould made combinations with the A. P. A’sin the last campaign and partly to other reasons for unpopularity. gn the gold programmers have much to contend with in getting their 161 San Francisco voters recognized. The Buckleyites are rapidly lengthing their list of friends as the county delega- tions are chosen throughout the State, and are expressing increasing confidence that the convention will express the judg- ment that Congressman Maguire has so vigorously and often expressed that they constitute the regular and legal organiza- tion here, represent the mass of the local party and are entitled to be seated in the convention. POPULISTS GET READY. The State Executive Committee Holds a Protracted Session. Eleven of the fifteen memuers of the Populist State Executive Committee spent all of the day yesterday and a large share of the night discussing the coming State campaign of the Populist party. They met during the forenoon and after- noon at the house of John C. Gore, 11 Es- sex street, and in the evening at the Russ House. The members of the committee Ppresent were: E. M. Wardall, Los Angeles, chairman; R. E. Bush, Berkeley, secretary; J. E. Camp, Sacra- mento, treasurer; C. H, Castle, Merced; J. M. Moore, Alameda; John 8. Dore, Fresno; George D. Gillespie, C. H. Jonnson, San Francisco; H. A. Mason, San Jose; M. E. Ditmar, Shasta; F. Houghton, Tehama. It was officially decided that the delega- tion to the National Conyention at St. | Louis, July 22, should go by the Central Pacific, Denver ana Rio Grande and Mis- souri Pacific routes in a special train made up of both tourist and Pullman sleepers. | The delegation will meet at Sacramento | | on July 16, and proceed from there. Two campaign committees were appoint- ed by Chairman Wardell. The chairman and tone secretary are members of each | committee and the other members are as | follows: | On campaign literature, C. H. Castle, | George D. Gillespie, J. M. Moore. On speakers—John 8. Dore, J..W. Keegan, M. E. Ditmar. A~ committee consisting of Chairman ‘Wardall, Secretary Bush and George. D. Gillespie, was appointed to secure State headquarters at an early day. | Ways, means and methods_for the cam- | paign were discussed at much length, and | the committee will hold another session this forenoon, when it will adjourn to the calil of the chairman. Besides the members of the committee there were present throughout the ses- sions C. F. McGlashan of Truckee, nomi- nee for Congress in the Second District, and George W. Montieth, the nominee in the First District. C. H. Castle, the nominee m the Seveath District,is a member of | the committee ard was present. | These three Congressional campaigns received much attention. In only these districts have nominations been made. | The candidates are busily at work in a | quiet way and vigorous campaigns will be opened about the first of July.

SERVED HIM RIGHT. John Harvey, an Insolent Beggar, Ar- rested for Threatening to Kill Contractor Tobin. John Harvey, a powerful young fellow 22 years of age, was taught a iesson last night that will do him and others of his kind good in the future. J. R. Tobin, contractor, had left ‘the Baldwin Hotel to go to the Olympic Club, when he was accosted by Harvey, who asked him for a dime. Tobin told him he could not oblige him, but Harvey walked alongside of him and persistently dunned him. Tobin finally lost patience and told Harvey curtly not to annoy him. He got an abusive and offensive reply which an- gered him, and he told Harvey he would give him in charge of the first policeman they met. Harv y then walked away and Tobin followed him. Harvey turned into the ailey leading from Ellis street to Eddy, near the Tivoli, and waited till Tobin came up to him. He told Tobin that he would kill him if he continued to follow him, and Tobin replied that he woula take his chances.
