THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1896. 11 TRANSFER PLEA OF GAKLANDERS, Consideration Asked at the Hands of the Southern Pacific. EAST END INTERESTED. Residents of That Section Desire Facilities for Reaching Broadway. STRONG ARGUMENTS MADE. Privileges and Profits That Were Curtailed by the Adoption of the Gate System. General Passenger Agent Goodman of the Southern Pacific Company is just now | cousiderably absorbed in the study of the vossibilities of a transfer arrangement be- tween the Oakland broad-gauge trainsand | the cars of the Highlana Park and Fruit- | vale Railroad. On the 19th of May the latter company severed its transfer relations with the Oak- an Leandro and Haywards electric » as it found it could not afford to al- that road 3 centson all tranfers re- deemed. Since then an agreement has been made with the Alameda line to carry passengers between Brooklyn, one of the termini of the Fruitvale line, to Broad- way, or to Twentiy-third avenue. But this arrangement has not proved al- together satisfactory to the patrons of the road. In consequence a numerously- signed petition has been sent to the South- Pacific Company, asking them to enter > & transfer alliance with the Highland ark and Fruitvale road. his road has been the victim of upex- d viciszsitudes and is now in the nds of a receiver. It operates two branches— one from Brookl along Thirteenth avenue and Hopkins street to Dimond, and another along Fruitvale a ue to Dimond, these branches form- ing two legs of a triangle. Forming the third side of this triangle, between Brook- lyn and Fruitvale station, ran the Hay- wards electric line and the Oakland trains of the Southern Pacific, by either of which Broadway, the business center of Oakland, can be readily reached. Hence the neces- sity of a transfer arrangement with one or the other of these lines. Under the exist- i transfer arrangements with the Ala- meda line patrons of the Fruitvale line can only be accommodated at Brooklyn, as the Alameda cars strike southward at Twenty-third avenue, about midway be- tween Brooklyn and Fruitvale station. One of the strongest arguments that has been used with the Southern Pacific Com- ;anv is that Fruitvale avenug, between ruitvale station and Dimond, was built up and improved by mechanicsand people of moderate means, before the gate system was adopted on the Oakland trains, and to refuse them the transfer accommodations prayed for in the petition, would be to perpetuate a great injustice to them. It is further claimed that by entering into an arrangement of this kind, the hern Pacific would incresse its revenue 50 to $1000 a month. In speaking of the matter yesterday, Mr. Goodman stated that there were several ficulties in the way of perfecting the sired transfer arrangement. Among her things he said the company could not afford to carry passengers from Fruit- vale station to the end of the mole for 2 cents, and added that he could not see any way by which people could be made to get off at Broadway or even West Oakland after they were once aboard the train. On the other hand, it has been pointed out that the commuters from San Fran- cisco are virtually carried over this dis- T 24 cents, and it is claimed that of the people who would take ad- ge of the desired arrangement would ar daily patrons and entitled to me consideration as the actual com- fic owes something to the Highland Park Fruitvale road, as the latter was forced into bankruptey by the introduc- tion of the gate systsm on the local trains of the Bouthern Pacific Company. Pre- vious to this, when riding was free on the locai trains, there was no necessity on the part of the streetcar line to enter into any transfer arrangement with any other line and so be forced to share its revenue. 1 this deal be consummated it will t the unusual feature of an inter- e of traffic between a regular steam oad line and a streetcar line. DISCORDANT ~ LODGEMEN. Members of the Order of the World Find Fault With Each Other. Criminal Proceedings Threatened and Interesting Developments Are Expected. There is trouble in the ranks of German Council No. 2, Order of the United World, and the chances are that the individual and collective differences will be aired in the criminal courts. The Order of the United World was or- ganized in this City some months ago by Michael Brooks, who is well known in fraternal circles. Brooks succeeded in forming several councils, German Council being among the number. 5 This ioage has been meeting regularly in the Alcazar building, and up to three weeks ago everything moved along smoothly within its precincts. At that time Victor Spderburg nppeared as the representative of a dlssethng ele- ment, desiring certain information con- cerning the Grand Lodge. Brooks, it seems, had been frozen out, and be cast his lot with the dissenting element. The actual _storm, however, did not break out until Tuesday night. At that time Soderberg, who has long suspected that the order was not conducted on lines strictly in_ keeping with the promises, made certain pertinent inquiries concern- ing the legality of the organization. The result of this was that Soderberg with half a dozen others was summarily ejected from the room. Before this interesting event, however, August Euler managed to introduce the following scorching notice: To the German Council No. 2 of the Order of United World: We, the undersigned, members of the above council, hereby declare that we were induced to join this lodge through mis- representation and falsehoods, and hereby demand the return of the money paid by us. We have conclusive proof thet the founders and the majority ot the present officers of this orzanization have conducted the business of tha lodge contrary to the laws of this State. Snould the return of moneys paid in by us to the notice of the public through the me- dium of the press. San Francisco, June 9, 1896. (Signed) Tillie Lynch, Mrs. B. Veroni, M. Stappenbeck, Vietor Soderburg, Rebecca Euler, Elise Wessell, Anna Schulz, Aug. Euler. The dissenting members allege that the order is not conducted properly, the money paid in going into the pockets of certain employes instead of the Grand Lodge. Soderburg further charges that recently le called on Brooks with a view of dis- cussing g proposition to organize a coun- cilin the Swedish colony. He was advised to go ahead, as he would be allowed a commission on all charter members secured. The members ejected from the lodge Tuesday night now propose to get even by airing the order in court. Around the Alcazar building it is common talk that if the plan contemplated is carried out some interesting developments will follow. In the meantime Organizer Brooks is quietly pursuing the even tenor of his way. BUNKER HILL DAY. Grand Celebration of the Battle’s One Hundred and Twenty-First Anniversary. The Bunker Hill Association of this City and the Sons of Vermont will cele- brate tbe one hundred and twenty-first anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill by a grand picnic at Glen Ellen on Wednesday next, and they will there hold literary exeicises appropriate to the day. The oration will be delivered by the Hon. R. B. Carpenter of this City, and Rev. George Walk, rector of Trinity Church, will officiate as chaplain of the day. There will be an opening address by the presi- dent of the Bunker Hill Association, and he will be followed by Frank Dillingham, president of the Sons of Vermont. Alfred Wilkie will sing the “Sword of Bunker Hill,”” and several other talented artists wili'take part in the enteriainment. The Ancient Order of Foresters, who make the 17th of June their annual festi- val ‘day, will celebrate it at San Jose, and as their order numbers many thousands, no doubt they will have a large and patri- otic gathering. At Santa Cruz the carnival association will devote t he day to a celebration of the anniversary of this memorable battle, of which, inthe evening, they will give a re- alistic reproduction. In it the British army will be represented by the Naval Re- serves and the American Patriots by Grand Army Veterans and their sons. Mayor Suatro and the Board of Super- visors have given orders to fling “Old Glory’’ to the breeze from every vpointin the City under their control. The Board of Education intend to have exercises appropriate to the day held in every school in the City, and every flag in that department raised. Chief Sullivan says that every piece of bunting in the Fire Department shall be displayed. All the car lines congent most cordially to co-op- erate, and all the shipping in the haroor will be decorated with banners. In accordance with orders received from the War Department, at Washington, salutes will be fired from all the forts in the harbor. WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE WORK Ready to Meet the Democratic State Convention Next Tuesday. Encouraging R:ports From the Country Suffrage Clubs—O0akiand M iss- Meeting To-Day. The suffrage cause of the women of the State is not being permitted to languish if the busy appearauce of affairs at head- quarters, 1630 Folsom street, is of any value an indication. Two yearsago the Democratic State Con- vention smiled upon the saffragists and said fair things about a plank that never came out in their platform. This year the women say there must be a plank and not a promise. The campaizn is being actively con- ducted by the joint amendments campaign committee, composed of the officers of the State Wom en’s Suffrage Association, of whicn Mrs. Ellen C. Bargent is presi- de nt, and the Suffrage Amendment Cam- paign association, presided over by Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper. Speakers and workers generally in the cause have gone over most of the counties, holding mass- meetings and forming suffrage clubs. Petition-books have been freely circulated among the peovple, and chousands of sign- ers have testified to their advocacy of tne suffragists’ cause. “The names are coming in rapidly,” said Dr. Sargent at headquarters yester- day. “Hereis one list from a southern county, and there are over 1200 of them. We went up to Sacramento with the Re- publican Convention, and we showed that body 21,000 names and they gave us a plank to stand on. We now have over 30,- 000 bona-fide signatures for our Democratic brothers to look at, and before we all meet next Tuesday we will have 10,000 more. I hardly think the Democratic Convention will deny our petition, especially after toe other conventions have seen the wisdom of giving ear to & cause so universally popu- lar as women'’s suffrage. “We Lave not been able to go thoroughly over all the State, but we have given the counties all the attention we could and from all quarters we have heard nothing but favoravle news. People are listening to us and preparing to vote for our pro- posed amendments. " “Here is a clipping from the Tulare Reg- ister which indicates how public senti- ment is turning: WOMEN DO WANT TO VOTE. In order to answer the oft repeated argu- ment, “The women don’t want to vote,’” & can- vass has been made of G street chosen at ran- dom us one of the best populated streets of Tulare. Sixty-one women were interviewed, of whom 47 were found in tavor of equal suf frage, 7 opposed, 6 iudifferent and 1 unde- cided. At four houses no one was found at home. Of these forty-seven, forty-three gave us & willing permission to publishtheir names. A perusal of the appended list will be a suf- ficient answer to ail intimation that women who desire the baliot are neglectful of their homes, seekers after notoriety or possessed of other unwomanly qualities: “The list of names which was published contained those of the most prominent ladies of Tulare. From Orange County we received a long list which the sender enthusiastically informed us contained most of the most reliable fpeople of the locality. Upin the northern counties our canvassers have done excellent work and the suffrage ciubs are booming. One thing that encourages us is the fact that about 50 per cent of the signers to our petitions are men—present registered voters. So you see not only are the women asking for a political privilege, but those who already possess these privileges are willing to share them with their mothers, sisters, wives and sweethearts. Oh, our fifty suffrage clubs are not asleep.” A two day’s mass-meeting will be held in Mills’ Tabernacle, Oaklard, beginning this afternoon at 3 o’clock. It1s the forty- fifth mass-meeting that has been held in the State during the last three months, The meeting in the aiternoon will be opened by Rev. Mr. McLean, followed b rs. Sargent, president of the State Sui- frage Association, who will speak recard- ing the political life of the suffragists. Mary Garrett Hay will then take charge of the meeting. In the evening Senstor Frank McGowan from Humboldt, the suffrage banner county, will speak, and be followed by Miss Ehizabeth Yale in a long address. Baturday afternoon will be deyoted to the ‘‘question-box,” which has been an entertuining feature of all the suffrage meetings. Miss Shaw will preside. The evening will be devoted to reviews not be made within a week from this date we sball bring the facts of this case into court and | of the work and an address by Miss Shaw. MISS £ STRONG RETURNS HOME A California Artist Who Has Achieved Fame Abroad. ART INSTITUTE MEDAL, Why American Painters Used to Be Snubbed in the Paris Studios. NOW THEY GET THE GLAD HAND The Tariff Caused the Trouble—M'ss Strong Tells of French Country Life. Miss Eiizabeth Strong, the California artist who, for some years past, bas achieved fame in Europe and the East, has just returned home for the first time however, and American artists are treated charmingly in France.” For eight successive years Miss Strong exhibited in the Paris Salon and sold her pictures mostly to Americans, a number of her works now being in New York, Bos- ton and Washington. During the winter she generally worked with some famous artist or in some of the art schools, to study some one or other specialty of her work. Figures she studied with Colin, heads with Mosler, and she also worke with Barris. Henry Mosler she considers to be one of the most distinguished artists which America has produced. He is the only one who has the honor of having a picture in the Luxumbourg Gallery, and though honors have been heaped upon him in France he has returned to New York to make his career there. When Miss Stroug first returned to America she went to Boston, where the St. Bantolph Club offered her its rooms for an exhibition of her paintings. Since then she has been kept busy with orders, but the desire to Tevisit California tinally became too strong to be resisted, and now she is delibenunfg whether she shall not devote herself, for a time at least, to distinctively Californian subjects. TOLD IN A WHISPER. Why Judge Campbell Threw a Case Out of Court. Policeman Tuite met with a setback from Judge Campbell yesterday. He had Mrs. Nellie White up for vagrancy. She testified that she had gone into a saloon on Third and Howard streets to look for her busband when Tuite arrested her. She denied being a vagrant. Tuite was placed on the stand and the Judge asked him if Mrs. White had ever been up before. Tuite hesitated and Po- liceman Murphy, who was close beside him, whispered something in his ear. “Yes,” said Tuite; ‘'she was up in Juage Conlan’s court last week.” Mrs. White’s atiorney jumped up and \\ i ‘ <7 Miss Elizabeth Strong, the California Artist Who Has Been Successful in Paris. since she won the gold medal at the Art Institute twelve years ago. ‘It has been such a grief to me that I lost my medal in my travels, in Paris, I think,” she said yesterday. “There were bere together, and were all medalists— Miss Matilua Lotz, Alexander Harrison | and myself. Harrison painted a picture, ‘The Wave,” which made him famous, and now he has quite a reputation in Paris as a marine artist. Miss Lotz has made a specialty of animals. I saw a good deal both of her and of Mr. Harrison in Paris.” Miss Strong says she would scarcely bave known San Francisco it has changed so much since she went away from here after her graduation. Itisher intention to go almost immediately to Monterey, where she will take a studio and work till Christmas on landscapes and Spanish subiects. She hasa number of o rders to execu te, one of them being a large picture for Colonel Albert A. Pope, which is to be resented to the Algonquin Club, Boston. Miss Strong thinks that she will make this a distinctively California subject. Speaking of her life in Paris Miss Strong said that she had found a marked differ- ence in the treatment given American art- ists since the removal of the tariff on works of art. *“‘The people over there re- sented the tariff tremendously and visited their indi nation on the American artists. They were given no prizes till the law was repealed and their pictures were not treated with much consideration. I re- member the Baroness de Rothschild re- sented the tariff so much that she did not wish to be introduced to any American artists, She paints very well herself and is a member of the Society of Artists in Water Colors. She never sells her pic- tures, but she objected to the tariff on eeneral principles, ana though I knew a number of her friends she requested not to meet me because I was an American.”’ During the summer Miss Strong used to rent a large house, about sixteen miles from Paris, near Rombaille forest, where she had horses, dogs, sheep and all kinds of other domestic animals, for subjects to paint. The country around is so beautiful that it is called the Switzerland of France and a large number of famous French families have chateaux in the neighbor- hood. None of the members of these families feit any resentment against American artists on the score of the tariti except the Baroness de Rothschild, an Miss Strong and Miss Matilda Lotz, who painted in another village near the forest, visited all the time in a pleasant uncere- monious way at the different castles. “We used to see a great deal of the Duchess de Luynes, who is about the rich- est and noblest lady in France, and who ints very well berself. The Baroness de eneval’s was another house where we visited a great deal. Her husband, who had been aid-de-camp to Napoleon III, used to paint a great deal, oh! very badly, but he enlgyed getting us to eriticize his pictures. iss Lotz and I generally dined with them every Sunday, ard he would want our opinion of what he had painted during the week. “But the Baroness de Kothschild would not have anything to say to us—all be- cause of the tariff. She has a beautiful place, which she designed herself, and in the grounds are the ruins of an old abbey, with all the arches still standing, though the windows are gone. She told a friend one day to hring me over to see it, but that was when she had gone to Paris herself. You see, her feeling just illustrates the three of us who studied in the art school | said he had heard Murp y whisper to Tuite to say that she had been up in .Judge Conlan’s court and it was unfair to the defendant to make such a statement. Tuite atiempted to deny the attorney’s charge, but Judge Campbell cut him short by throwing the case out of court. MINNIE F'GRADY'S LOVER Frank McNeil Will Be- Held for Slashing Frank Ran- kin’s Face. McNeil Is the Man W ho for Months Persecuted Mrs. Merillicn of Pine Strest. The preliminary examination of Frank McNeil, charged with assault to murder upon Frank Rankin, theatrical manager, was concluded before Judge Campbell yesterday morning. Rankin bad been paying his addresses to Miss Minnie O'Grady, the bandsome daughter of Mrs, O'Grady, who keeps a grocery and saloon on the corner of Na- ioma and Mary streets. He called upon her on Saturday night, May 22, and re- mained till after 1 o’clock Sunday morn- ing. Asne was leaving the place McNeil, who was a boarder with Mrs. 0'Grady, at- tacked him with a razor, slashing him across the face end cutting the point of his nose off, which was stitched on at the Receiving Hospital. Rankin will bear an ugly scar on his face all his life, McNeil disappeared after the cutting but was arrested about 8 week afterward. No motive could be ascribed for the attack, Miss O’Grady indignantly denying that McNeil had been paying his addresses to her. Attorney Gallagher for the defendant argued that the charge should be reduced to assault with a deadly weapon, as it had not been shown that McNeil had nn{ mur- derous intention. Attorney Long for the From:nnon argued to the contrary, and he Jndge reserved his decision until to- day as to whetber he would hold McNeil 1o answer for assault to murder or assault with a deadly weapon. McNeil is a painter by trade and gained considerable notoriety two or three years ago by persecuting the wife of Ralph erillion, 2912 Pine street. He had been empioyed to do some work on the house and became infatuated with Mrs, Merillion. He dogged her wherever she went and repeatedly attempted to force his way into the house during ber husband’s absence. His persecution became so obnoxious that Mrs. Merillion complained to her husband and he fired several shots at Mc- Neil on ore occasion, but missed him, McNeil was arrested several times, but he did not stop his unweicome attentions to the laay till several month; d elapsed. ———————— To Annul a Marriage. August Biderbost began a suit yesterday against Caroline Biderbost (nee Zumoberhaus) for annulment of marriage. The parties were i»oi“d in wedlock on October 28, 1895, by Rev. . Leo Bruener. Forover a year previous to the ceremony Biderbost was not in San Fran- cisco. On April 23 last Mrs. Biderbost became the mother of & girl baby whose paternity the husband disclaims. He consequently "agks feeling that greyalled on the subject in Parisian art circies, All that is gone now, that the marriage contract be annulled, 1 TEACHERS COUNCL T0 B ORGANZED A Movement to Benefit the Public School System. MR. MURDOCK’'S IDEA. All the City Institutions of Learning to Be Repre- sented. INDORSED BY THE MEMBERS. The Plan as Outlined by the Origi- nator of the Scheme—Schoo!s Represented. The members of the Board of Education are considering a measure, formulated by Director Murdock, that is expected to be of vast importance to the department, as well as of great assistance to the board in 1ts efforts to improve the public school system of San Francisco. Director Murdock has been working on the plan for some time, and he has just finished and submiited it to the other members, who have all given it their un- qualified approval. The scherme is fully set forth in the fol- lowing resolution, that is- now in the bands of Secretary Beanston, which will be submitted to a meeting of the commit, tee to be held soon: WHEREAS, The best interests of the School Depariment demand the hearty co-operation of all of its friends, and the Board of Educa- tion, as a legislative body, needs the advice and assistance of those who have intimate knowledge of the schools and their needs, be it Resolved, That the public school teachers of the City of San Francisco be invited (0 assem- ble, as hereinaiter provided, to elect members of an organization Lo be known as ““The Teachers’ Council;”” which shall for the ensuing year be considered as representing the teachers of the depariment. The council shall organize on Saturday, August 15, at 10 A. M., at the auditorium of the Girls’ High School, by the election by bal- lot of & president, three vice-presidents and a secretary, who together shall constitute the advisory board of the council, Principals, vice-principals and class teachers shall be eligible 1o membership in either coun- cil or advisory board. On the latter primary, grammar and aigh schools shall each be rep- resented. 2 The council shall adopt its own by-laws and rules conferring such powers on iis advisory board as it sees fit and determining the fre- qency of meetings. . Itshall be the object of the council to pro- mote in every way the welfare of the public schools and to stimulate and strengthen the efficiency of teaching. Through its advisory board it shall make such recommendations to the Board of Education as it deems desirable, making suggestions as tochanges in the cotrse of study or in the rules and regulations of the board. The advisory board shall consider and Eromptly Teport on any matter referred toit v the Board of Education or the Superintend- ent, and shall generally advise with and aid them in the discnarge of their official duties. The first council shall consist of one member to each ten classes, approximately, to be elected as hereinafter provided. Thereafter its membership and method of election shall be determined by the council. The first election shall be Leid on Friday, August 7, at 3 o’clock, P. M., OF 85 S00n thereafter as the teachers may assemble. 1 this day or hour is not convenient it may be arranged by the electors of eéach school or group of schools for their special con- venience. The council membership at this election shall be apportioned as follows, the election to be held at the first schonl mentioned when two or more schools are grouped. The prin- cipals shall certify to the result to the secretary of the Board of Education: Apportionment—Agassiz 1, Bernal Heights and Buena Vista 1, Broadway and Le Conte 2, Clement and Harrison 2, Cleveland 1, Cooper and Sherman 2, Denman and Spring Vailey 8, Everett and Edison 2, Emerson and Golden Gate 2, Fairmount 1, Franklin and Stanford 2, Garfield end Lafayette 2, Girls' High 1, Henry Durrant 1, Haight 1, Haw- thorne 1, Hearst and Douglas 2, Hamilton and Hamiiton evening 2, Horace Mann and Columbia 3, Humboldt 1, Irving and Chinese 1, James Lick and Bheridan John Swett 2, Jefferson and Longfellow 2, Lin- coln and Lincoln evening 5, Lowell 1, Pacific avenue and Madison 1, Marsball, Mission and Monroe 2, Mouider 1, North Cosmopolitan 1, Pacific Heights Peabody 1, Polytechnic High 1, Potrero.

Total 75. A similar movement, under the name of the Teachers’ Club, was made while John Ewett was Superintendent of Schools, but through a failure to carry out the plans outlined by Secretary Beanston, the organization did not flourish. Mr. Murdock's idea will undoubtedly be adopted, and it is expected to be of vast benefit to the department. HE STOLE A RIG. George A. Mason, Alias Taylor, an Ex- Convict, Sentenced. A young man who gave the name of George A. Mason was out at the CIiff House Wednesday afternoon and iook it into his head to drive off with a rig be- longing to William Gillespie. He was ar- rested by Policeman W. M. Ross and charged with driving off with a horse and wacon belonging to another, He appeared in Judge Low’s court yes- terday morning and pleaded guilty, saying that he was drunk and did not know what he was doing. Detective Bainbridge, who happened to be in court, recognized Mason as an ex-convict. Mason denied the al- legation and Bainbridge produced his photo in the ‘‘rogues’ gallery,” which settled the matter, Mason, under the name of George Taylor, in 1892 got eigh- teen months in the House of Correction for grand larceny, and on June 16, 1894, was sentenced to two years in San Quentin for burglary. The Judge then sentenced Mason, or Taylor, to sixty days in the County Jail. & ———————— OFFICERS PROMOTED. Au Interesting Meeting at the Salva- tion Army Headquarters.

SEEKS HEAVY DAMAGES. Result of an Accident to Mrs. Cassie A. Graham in a Fourih-street Hard- ware-Store. A complaint will be filed in the Superior Court to-day by H. C. Grant, attorney for Mrs. Cassie A. Graham, 127 Fourth street, claiming $15,000 damages for injuries re- ceived. The defendants are P. E. O'Heir, hard- ware merchant, 135 Fourth street, and Mrs. Hubbard of Sacramento, the owner of the premises. Mrs. Graham, on the afternoon of May 3, went to O'Heir’s store to make some purchases. O'Heir asked her to step to the rear of the store, which was almost sbrouded in darkness. O'Heir stood on | a platform and pointed upward to a shelf where some kitchen uteusils were. She took a step backward to look up at the articles and disappeared down a steep stairway leading to the basement. She struck on the back of her head and was seriously injured. Dr. Preston, who has been attending her, express s the opinion that she will be injured for life. Itis alleged that there was no lightin the rear of the store, and Mrs. Grabham was not warned to look out for the open stair- way. Attorney Grant says that efforts have been made to compromise the mat- ter by O’Heir, but without success. NEW TO-DAY.
