10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 1896. WHITE OR FOOTE FOR CHAIRMAN, Gould Is Defeated and the Democracy Turns to Nobler Men. FRIENDS START BOOMS. W. W. Foote Declares Himself Against Giving Daggett the Party. JOHN J. GAFFEY IS FOR WHITE. A Rapid Change in State Convention Prospects as the Time Draws Near. The one short week preceding the Demo- cratic Scate Convention opens with the defeat of Frank Gould as chairman of the convention made practically sure and with a joint boom for Senator White and W. W. Foote, which in a day or two will be- come definite and concentrated on one or the other. The waron Gould will be active and general in another day or two. The change that has thus come over the prospects of the State Convention is some- what similar to the marked and sudden one thatatew days ago came over the prospects of the National Convention. The Federal brigade and a small coterie of politicians had represented a small minority of the party, but a majority of fts practical activities. The machine worked steadily without interference, ex- cept from the Buckleyites in thisCity, and its programme looked strong and big be- cause it was alive. Daggett, McNab and Gould had worked long and hard to make Gould chairman, and Jast Saturday they were sure that he was & winner. But the mass of the party had not got around to the chairmanship. Gould, as chairman of the State Central Committee, was to put through as far as was in his power the Daggeti-administra- tion-goid-Junta programme. The party jandslide to silver made this programme look sick, and now, as the convention nears, the predominant sense and senti- ment of the party is waking up and dis- playing its style and power. It was judged before yesterday by many that the Democracy of California would not measure its dignity and character with Frank Gould, but not until this week has this become plainly evident to those in touch with the strong party forces and those in a position to note the party pulse. As the chairmanship becomes a timely question to tae rather extensive portion of the party apart from the Daggett-McNab- Gould-Eainey combination, the party seems to turn to White and Foote as by instinct. Either is recognized as the sort of man worthy of the place and ap- propriate to the honor. The sense of the party seems to involuntarily recognize them as the two among the many worthy party leaders who are in the greatest de- gree, circumstances considered, mnatural, Togical and desirable candidates for the lace. . So friends of each are starting booms for them without_their consent. Foote’s boom has started among his victorions friends in Oakland. White is called for on every hand, and John T. Gaffey is un- derstood to be ready to play his boom in a day or two. Silver will rule the convention. Gould is bound up in all sorts of ways with the gold-administration forces. ~White and Foote are silver men. The convention will be strongly anti- railroad. Gould is controlled by his polit- ical partner and boss, Daggett, who repre- sents the railroad wing of the party. Foote's anti-railroad record is a long one and White’s is as unimpeachsble. The convention will be strongly anti-A. P. A. Gould, perhaps unjustly, has long been on the defensive along with McNab on this proposition. Foote is strongly againstthe A. P. A., and White’s attitude needs no explanation. It is declared by leading Democrats who are opposed to Gould, and who are de- manding either Foote or White, that Gould is a man of no weight, that his arty record and services do not entitle im to the honor, that he has shown him- self & man of small tricks, and that heis unpopular throughout the State and in his own county, as shown by his 1nability #to be elected delegate-at-large from San Joaquin County, and his necessity of go- ing as an Assembly district delegate. His partnership combination with Dag- gettand McNab on tneir Junta programme 1s being hoisted into prominence. It is t widely said that for cracking through the State Central Committee the recognition ; of the Junta, and for the restof the ser- vices to be rendered 1n throwing the State machine . Daggett’s way #e was promised the chairmanship of the convention which he expects to put him in line for the nomination for Gov- ernor two years hence. It is pointed out that he is the partisan of one of the local factions, and that his election as chairman would be discreditable and also unwise, as mnot conducive to party unity and success. White and Foote are men of large cali- ber, deserving of party honor_and popular with the mass of the party. It is said oy their friends that if either are made candi- dates Gould would not get fifty votes out- side of the Junta delegates. Both Wiite and Foote are candidates for delegate-at- large, with election certain. This is the only impediment to the candidacy of either, but it is not expected to be insur- mountable in either case. Neither one will become a candidate except through a widespread party demand, and that de- mand appears to be rising. ‘White is expected home in two or three days, and his candidacy will probably not be settled until then. John T. Gaffey, who was given his collectorship through ‘White, is for anything White wants. He ended his few duys’ connubiating up there yesterday and left for home. When he came White was not talked of for chairman and he came with the idea” of 'making George 8. Patton of Los Angeles chairman of the convention. He found it couldn’t be done and left with White in his mind. W. W. Foote =ome littie time ago checked a boem for him by declaring that he was not a candidate, because he wanted chiefly’ to go to the National Convention Zs a delegate-at-large, and he was not a og. Now his friends are reviving his boom and declaring that they will make him a candidate anyway. Foote's ristng boom brought Max Popper, Sam Braunhartand some others to his office in alarm yester- day. They wanted to know the danger of bis sidetracking Gould. Foote repeated, empbhaticaily, his declaration that he was not a candidate, but did not declare that be would repudiate his friends if they made him chairman. i To a CALL man Mr. Foote said yester- ay : “I have told my friends positively that T am not a candidate for anything but dele- gate-at-large. I am against anything tbat Mr. Daggett may seek to do. It seems to fook now that Mr. Gould will be elected, but if he is running for the chairmanship on Daggett's prestige I will be against him. No Daggett candidate can be elected. 1 assume that Mr. Gould is doing the best he can for the party, but it he is running for Mr. Daggett’s benefit he is damning the party. “Mr. Daggett was read out of the party for betraving it, and if \he gets his just deserts he will be read out of the party again by this convention. T will notfo into a combiration that seeks to give Mr. Daggett the party machinery of this State. We are all anxious to know how that stands. White, Jeter or La Rue would, any of them, make an admirable chair- man, and they would act in accordance with just and reputable Democratic doc- trine.” 1 am not a candidate myself and am physically not able to perform the duties.” A large majority of Alameda County will be against Gould and all at his combination represents. So will practi- cally all of the Los Angeles delegation, for both factions are opposed to him, Mc- Nab has been claiming the LosAngeles peo- ple, but while here Gaffey announced his hostility. The Mitchell faction is opposed to him beyond all doubt. The solid So- lano delegation, half of the Colusa and a iarge share of his own delegation, the one from San Joaquin County, will be for somebody else. Marin will be solidly op- posed to him, and so on through the State the true strength of Gould appears in contrast to McNab’s shouts of victory. The anti-Daggett sentiment in the party shows itself more prominently as the con- flict wears, and wkile Daggett seemed two weeks azo to have a fighting chance to use and win much power in the convention it now ap- pears certain that Daggett’s programme will e ripped up the middle. Gould was put forth by Daggett and McNab, and, as he represents that programme and hasa partnership interest in its success, he will be opposed by every delegate who is ep- posed to Daggett’s administration pro- gramme, to his efforts to get party power, to McNab and to handing the local party over to Dagett, Rainey and McNab. The warring Alameda County factions have not cooled down. John P. Irish has returned from the Yosemite. Regard- SLID DOWN A TELEGRAPH CABLE, Daring Act of a Burglar in the Carrolton House.

Personally I am grateful to the Democracy of Qakland for this answer to the personal slanders, vulgarity and threats directed against me and_for the choice of a gentle- man like Mr. Fitzgerald as a party repre- sentative. His fourteen votes from Ala- meda County made certain his selection as delegate from the district, which will be a distinct triumph of decency.” It may be remarked that the majority of the Third District delegates will be against the Daggett-Gould end. The Englishes will marshal many friends irom Solano and other counties. g John T. Gaffey while here declared him- self opposed to the idea of giving the party interests in San Francisco into the hands of the Junta bosses, and in fayor of giving each delegation half a vote in the State Convention and reorganizing the local party through a primary at which fairness was made sure. It appears that Mr. Gaffey did not in fact dine Chris Buckiey at his Santa Monica home, as John W. Mitchell stated on information and belief in yesterday’s CarL. He merely attended a dinner to Mr. Buckley, and Mr. Mitchell corrects the statement in the following note: SAN FrANCIsco, June 8, 1896. To the Editor.of The Call—Sik: I desire to correct 8 misstatement made by me in refer- ence to Mr. Gaffey, Collector of Customs at Los Angeles, to the effect that Mr. Gaffey en- tertained Mr. Buckley at his home in Santa Monica during Mr. Buckley’s recent visit to Los Angeles, I was 80 informed, and the state- ment was also made in 8 Los Angeles pa; But I)earn that such was not the fact, and I desire to correct the same as far as possible, as 1 would not wfllllfll{ do Mr. Gaffey or any other gentleman an injustice, whether he be 2 political opponent or not. Please make this correction 88 prominent as my original state- ment, for I now regret that it was made. respectfully yours, Jo ROBBED A ROOM MATE. Nathaniel Feldman, Who Has a Mania for Suicide, Arrested for Grand MITCHELL. Larceny. Nathaniel Feldman, who gives his occu- pation as, “medical man,” was placed in the City Prison yesterday afternoon by Detectives Gibson and Wren on the charge of grand larceny. On May 6 the Sheriff took possession of the lodging-house, 1123 Howard street, where Feldman lodged. He offered to assist the landlady in removing the furni- ture and while doing so, it is alleged, he stole a gold watch valued at $200 and a diamond cross pin valued at $150, belong- ing to Daniel McCoy, another lodger, who was out of the City at the time. Feldman pawned the articles and left for Los Angeles. He returned two or three days ago and Gibson and Wren arrested him yesterday afternoon on Kearny street. ‘When searced at the City Prison a re- volyer was found in his pocket and an additional charge of carrying a concealed weapon was placed against him. In his pockets were also found a lot of letters in which he spoke of committing suicide. One of them was addressed to Rabbi Levy, whom heasked to see that he got decent interment when his body was found. ————————— ‘GROCERS' PICNIC to-morrow, Schuetzen Park, Sen Rafael, i Very | from the third story of the Carrolton House, with his face covered with blood, was a sight that for a few moments caused the greatest excitement among the few who witnessed it. There was no policeman in sight and the burglar, after jumping on to the porch over the entrance to Kapp & Street’s saloon, thence to the ground, a distance of about twelve feet, rushed up Taylor street and made his escape. E. Martinez, the strong man who lifts heavy weights with the greatest ease, occupies room 25 on the third floor of the Carrolton House, the main entrance to which is from Market street, No. 1206. He got up shortly before 7 o'clock yes- terday morning, and, not feelinz well, he went to a drugstore to get some medicine. He was only gone a few minutes, and when he returned and inserted the key in the lock Le was surprised when some one pushed hard against the door and said: “Don’t come in; ['m dressing.” Martinez thought for an instant that he might have gone to the wrong room, but on looking up he saw that it was hisnum- ber. “Come out of that,” he said, ‘‘or I'll bo re a lhole through you.” He was unarmed, but the bluff had the de sired effect, as the door opened and two voung men walked coolly out. Martinez stood with his back toward the stairway, so that they couid not escape, and divining that they were burglars, he struck the taller of the two such a ter- rific blow on the face that he fell like a log, and the blood flowed from a cut on the cheek. Martinez grabbed the other, who proved to be James Edwards, an ex-messenger bof, by the throat with his left haud and hela him securely. The other struggled to his feet, and Martinez, with another blow on the face, again knocked him down. He jumped to his feet and put his hands to his back as if to draw a revolver. Quick as a flash Mar- tinez pulled a big pocket-knife out of his pocket, opened the big blade and made a slash at the burglar’s neck as he came at him. The burglar sprang back, threw up his arms and fell in a heap against the door at the end of the hallway. Edwards had been trying to break away from Martinez’s hold and got so trouble- some that Martinez had to turn his atten- tion to him for a moment by tightenin, his grasp on his throat. It was ennugg for the other burglar, who had got upon his feet and dashed through the oven door into Martinez’s room, closing it behind him and throwing his weight aeainst it. Thinking he had him secure in the room Martinez walked along to the top of the stairway with Edwards to get some one to go for a policeman. That is where Martinez made a mistake. The window is a bay one and faces on Golden Gate avenue. The burglar opened the west portion of the bay - window, climbed out and stepped along the coping to the next window of room 23, occupied by a lady roomer. He opened the window and crawled in. - She had been asleep, but the noise awoke her, and the apparition of a man with a bloodstained face crawling into the room through the window took her breath away. She shrieked and sprang from her bed and was rushing to open the door to call for help when the burglar took the key out of the door and said in imploring tones: “For God’s sake, madam, don’t cry for help. There's a woman in the next room who tried to murder me and Ihad to escape by the window and comein here. Protect me for the love of heayen.” She stood irresolute for a minute or two while the burglar paced excitedly up and down the room, the blood dropping on the carpet from his bleeding face. e sud- denly stopped as the cable of the telegraph company, which was two or three feet from the west side of the window, caught his eye. ‘He opened the window, crawled through, made a grab for the cable, caught it and slid down to the coping at the first story. He jumped from that to the top of the ‘porch over the entrance to Kapp Street’s saloon, thence to the ground. Mrs. Carroll’s housekeeper saw him, and she shouted for a policeman. No one was in sight and there were only & few pedes- trians and the bootblacks on the corner in sight. Before they could recover from their astonishment at seeing a man slide down the cable the burglar had turned thé corner of Taylor street and was soon lost to view. Martinez held Edwards till the Central police station was notified by telephone, and Policemen Gaynor and Welch soon arrived and took Edwards to the City Prison, where he was booked for burglary. He positively refused to disclose the name of his companion. Heis19 vearsof age, and until recently was a messenger-boy in the Sutter and Kearny street office. Martinez’s room bad been thoroughly ransacked by the burglars. His overcoat bad been rolled up ready to be taken away, and §6 50 which he had concealed in the bottom of his wash-basin was missing. His wardrobe had been completely turned over, and even the fireplace had been searched for plunder which might have been concealecf there. 3 : A skeleton key was found on the floor in Martinez’s room, which had evidently been dropped by the burglars. There were bloodmarks on the carpet and on the window-sill of his room, and also 1n the room of the lady roomer from the cuts on the burglar’s face. ‘I wonder now,” said Mertinez yester- day, ‘‘that I did not dash their heads to- gether and kill them. My blood was up when 1 thought he was zoing to draw a revolver upon me, and if I had got a hold of him I guess that is what I would have done. But perhaps it is better as it is. 3 would know him again, and the marks of my knuckles will be seen on his face for | some time to come.” CARSON'S MINT: SCANDAL It Is Revived by a Peculiar Suit in Judge McKenna’s Court. Heavy Mortgages Transferred by Convict Heney to His Two Attorneys. | The old Carson Mint scandal was re- vived in Judge McKenna's court yesterday when Assistant United States Attorney Sam Knight asked that Treasurer Coffin | and William Woodburn be restrained from further procedure in the matter of foreclos- ing certain mortgages held by them. After hearing the facts in the case Judge McKenna immediately issued an order conforming with Mr. Knight’s request. The mortgages referred to were prior to | December 21, 1895, the property of James Heney, who, on the day in question, was convicted of embezzling $21,000 belonging | to the Government. Heney was a dis- solver in the United States mint at Carson | City, and when the Grand Jury returned a | true bill against him his trial and convic- tion speedly followed. Heney was sen- tenced to eight years in the penitentiary and to pay a fine of $5000. 1t was to avoid the payment of this sum that the mort- | gages were transferred. | On the pnight of his conviction the ex- | dissolver sent for his attorneys and in- | | formed them that he held mortgageson property in San Francisco amounting to nearly $10,000. He admitted having kept | the affair quiet in order that the United | States Marshal might not learn of the fact. He asked his attorneys if they would ac- | cept an assignment of the mortgages and they readily agreed to do so. Coffin took a $3000 mortgage on Nine- | teenth and Capp streets and Woodburn | another for $6200 on property at Twenty- | fifth and Banchez. eney proceeded to his new prison home, while the attorneys came to this City hoping to realize on their unexpected fortune. Some days ago Mr. Knight learned of the transaction and he at once set about | to thwart the neatly laid scheme of the | convict. An affidavit was filed in the Cir- | cuit Court on Saturday last declaring that | the money invested in the mortgages had | been stolen by 2 mint employe while act- | ing as dissolver, and consequently he was | not the owner of the property already | mentioned. Yesterday Mr. Kuight secured | a temporary injunction against the parties | now holding the mortgages. The case | will come up for further fiearing July 6. In the meantime Attorneys Coffin and Woocburn are making ready for a vigor- ous fight to protect the property which | thus came into their hands. ——————— RESTAURANT EMPLOYES. Constitution of the Socialist Trade and Labor Alliance Adopted. The Hotel and Restaurant Employes met last night at the Turk-street Temyle, Fred Morf, president of the union, in the chair. | The constitution of the Socialist Trade and Labor Ailiance was unanimously | adopted. This constitution has been sent | every union represented .in the Central Tradeand Labor Alliance for their adoption or rejection. A communication from the Building Trades Council requesting indorsement of the boycott on the Parrott block was acted on favorably to the request.” Leon Brown, labor secretary, reported all members of the union employed, and Theodore Lynch, delegate from the Cen- tral Trade and Labor Alliance, reported the transactions of the central body. Twenty-five tickets were received from the committee of the united German unions for their picnic and festival at Wildwood Glen Park, Sausalito, on Sunday, June 14. Short speeches by Eugene Brown, B. Krieger, P. Paul Haitmann and others brought the meeting to a close. The fraternity of Hotel and Restaurant Employes have set forth the objects of their union to better their condition and educate the cooks, waiters, kitchen hands, vorters and all other persons emploved in and about hotels and restaurants. The advantages incident to a membership in a union of this description are only too evi- dent when compared with those who are not organized, and who fail to assume a | faculties to man. | CaLL May 12, givin definite atitude toward labor in the great struggle for an existence. All engaged in the work are invited to join. There is an employment office in connection with the union for the benefit of its members. St s G Art at Mills College. R. D. Yelland, L. Mayrard Dixson and C. C. Judson, after examining the work of the Mills College art department for the past made the following report to Mrs. Mills: are much pleased with the work exhibited by the art department of the college. The draw- ings from cast are very creditable in the efforts shown to render direction of line, truth of pro- portion and proper values in light and shade, as seen by the surfaces of the model and the relief from background. We especially com- mend the instruction given the class, and its results in sound technical methods. The draw- ings com})ne favorably with those of our best artschools. We saw much excellent work among the fin'dnwinn. water color and oil paintings. The still life studies are good in tone and color, and are painted with breadth and freedom. Altogether Mills College has Teason to be proud of its showing in art for the year 1895-96.” SROCH-WORKERS FLODUEAT APPEL Say Their Occupation Is in Sore Need of Ready Assistance.

Fifty representatives of the broom- | making industry of this City have pre- | pared the following eloquent appeal, which | they have sent to Labor Commissioner | Fitzgerald: | To the Hon. R. M. Fitzgeraid, Commissioner of Labor for the State of Catifornia—DEAR STR: We, | “Cupid and Psyche.” MANHOOD! The Most Precious Ele= ment of Our Physical Being. You Do Not Know How to Appre- the humble petitioners, as laborers in the broom-making art, beg of you to allot some of your valuable time in the interests of those oc- | cupied in the above-named art; to investigate | its condition, and in the interest of man bonest American-citizens in general ana C fornians in particular, free laborers, men and | vs. Matters in this honest occupation are com- | ing to where a justand honest help is nceded, | and us soon as possible, for if something is not | done soon, we are suffering now, but shortly ! we all will be thrown out in the cola without a chance to earn an honest living for ourselves | and our families. Al that will b left to us is | the cola help of common charity, which we | | disdain while full of sirength and the vigor of American manhood. What else but the above | will be left to us if we are robbed of our rights | 10 do an honest day’s work for our support ex- | cept the road to the poochouse? or for our | younger mates except the road to the peni- tentiary? or to be shot by the Government | forces if we dare to cry for justice and bread? Therefore in you we lay our hope to help help us, by investigating fully now the un- happy industry for the free American citizen, | | but once a very profitable oue to all those who | v This above-named in- | dustry was good for all connected with it upto | : : two or three years since; the general depres- | that all this misery comes were connected with it. sion came, and all lines of life’s pursuits suf- fered, and it with the rest, but three_other ob- stacles caused it still greater loss, by forcing it to the ruinous competition. First, the com petition of prison-made goods, shipped here; second, the local Chinese fagtorfes, which naturaily employ their own people, the Chiinamen; third, the last and tne Torst, the Biate broom factory for the adult blind. Now to compete with the free American la- | | borer the risoner does not need to worry for his meal, for his three regular meals are pre- pared with the same punctuality that the ciock | dial goes the rounds of the twenty-four hours. This is coming to him surely, regardless as to whether the industry in which he is occupied i; bringing profit or loss to the State that holds im. The second free and honest American labor- ers’ competitor, who may well be termed the American social and economical parasite, is the Chinaman. Are we to hope to compete with him, who can live for 5 cents a day in this lana of plenty? Further comments are useless in this case. The third competitor, the adult blind, and the hardest, because in the midst of our homes and fostered by the very State which should watch safe our honest chance for an honest living. Here do not misconsirue our good intention and good feeling toward our more unfortunate brother, the blind, whom nature has robbed of one of the most needed No: because we are sensivle to the necessity that society should care for them; yet the State should not do so by fore- ing them to ruin the chance of living of those who would gladly help with their own labor to sustain them in the comforts of life, which fact is actually being done now. Shall we strike against our employers? Such would be of no use, as they are in no better condition than ourselves, for they would Le willing to give work, but through the cause described they lose sales and therefore & loss to the leborer. In the face of all these ob- stacles they cannot be expected 1o keep losing their capital simply to give the laborer em- ployment. When loss is created by the state no particular person grieves over it. This is the reverse with the individual. If his eapital lost the State will not reimburse him as it s its own factory. Therefore all we can hope for is to reduce the number of the em- pioyed,which Ras been increased for the whole of last year until we are all thrown out of work. We, therefore, pray you to investigate those three very destructive channels to the free Amcrican laborer, and do all that lies in your power to ameliorate our cause. To this petition is appended fifty names. In connection with the petition issub- mitted an article which appeared in THE the formation of the increasea output from the State Asylum of the Blind ot manufactured brooms. Beneath this is written the following: As Dy the. above item their glorious and boasted increase of output is our unfortunate 10ss, our humble petition is proved to be correct. Mr. Fitzgerald stated that the serious- ness of this matter was not overdrawn by the petitioners, and that he would accord it a full investigation and take such steps to ameliorate the hard condition of the broom-workers as lay within his power.
