Your inquiry is whether the “port of de- parture,” at which ihe facts of sickness or disability are to be so reported, is the port trom which the laborer goes from this country, or that from which ne starts on his return.

THOSE TRANSFERS OF STCCK | | Near.y Two Thousand Shares Placed in the Name of Stenog- | rapher Hardee. Quite a number of witnesses were exam- ined yesterday in the suit prought by the California Safe Deposit and Trust Com- pany toremove General Sheehan and the directors of the People's Home Savings Bank. Much of the testimony was a repe- tition of what had already been sworn to. Several of the witnesses testified unwill- ingly, and even defiantly, witnesses Shee- han and Phelps being particularly com- | bative. The bit of humor in the situation | of wituess Hardee, who, although he owned no property, had been asked to pay over $300,000 by Attorney Flournoy, was the main diversion of the day’s trial. Receiver Sheehan was again puton the stand at the opening of yesterday’s ses- sion. He answered the questions of At- torney Bartlett in a defiant manner, and with & military glare referred him to the bookkeeper if he wanted to know some- thing from the records. A lively tilt between the opposing coun- sel arose over the striking out of Attor- ney Bartiett's amended complaint. Ex- Judge Carpenter, in a very dramatic man- ner, declared that the plaintiffs were wast- ing time, beating about the bush, and that they bad no case. ‘‘Let them prove the conspiracies which they have charged,” shouted the ex-Juage, “I defy them to prove it.”” Judge Seawell took the matter under advisement. ¥ | In reply to Carpenter's questions on cross-examination Sheehan denied that he had anything to do witu the ousting of Director Merrill. Davidson had told Shee- han before the election that he wanted to get Merrill out of tne board because he didn’t understanad business. In tie vari- ous disbursements he had made and which the plaintiffs churged as being extrava- gant, Sheehan declarea that he had done | what he thought to be to the depositors’ interests. He denied absolutely that he bad engaged in any conspiracy or collu- sion. | Sheehan's professed intention of hand- ling the affairs of the bank economically | was somewhat shaken by Bartneit's re- direct examination. When the Bank | Commissioners intended to cut down | Sheehan’s salary the General representea | to them that his services were worth fully | $250 a month, but he denied that he had appeared before the board to resist a re- | | auction, as asked for by a petition of de- positors. W Palmer, a clerk in the People’s Home Sayvings Bank, was put on the | stand. He was questioned in reference to certain disbursements to attorneys out of | the City. This money had been charged | on the books to James Alva Watt. | . Inregard to Sheehan’s attention to the | business of the bank, Palmer said the general was at the bank every day from about 9 to 4:30 o’clock, and he thought the general attended to the bank’s business | almost exclusively. | At the opening of the afternoon session Judge Seawell announced that he was not yet ready to decide upon the admissibility of Attorney Bartnett's amended com- plaint. The court announced that he would decide the matter before this morn- ing’s session. Clerk Palmer was asked a few more questions, and after declaring that he had notengaged in or heard of conspiracy for ousting Merrill, or for other purpose, he was allowed to de- | an’ rt. Theodore L. Hardee, a stenographer who had been in the employ of Attorney Watt at varions times, was next sworn. Watt had transferred stock to the sten- ographer at various times. He had never purchased any stock, At present Hardee is down zs the owner of nearly 2000 shares of stock of which he never had possession | except long enough to indorse it to Attor- ney Watt. The stock in Hardee's name amounted to several hundred thousand dollars. At- lourngy had notified him to pay 332,000 last winter, but the sten- ographer had ‘“asked for a little delay.” When asked by Attorney Bartnett whether he had property suffiCient to meet such obligations, Hardee said if he had any | property he would like to have some one | Plove | show it to him. Hardee's recollection of | bow he had received the stock was very | hazy. He had always signed proxies for Mr. Watt when requested to do so. James Alva Watt, formerly attorney for the bank, was placed on the stand. He testified tnat he had received $500 a month from about June, 1894, to January, 1895, | He never had any exact understanding | with Sheehan as’ to his compensation. | When he first applied to Sheehan for money he admitted to the general that | the latter had no right to pay him without | an order of the court. Then Watt had seen Judge Hebbard and had an understanding with him in re. gard to the matter. After that Sheehan paid Watt his money. Besides receiving $500 a month Watt also received fees. In one month alone— December, 1894, —he received two fees aggregating $1000. He didn’t rememover | that Mr. Sheehan had made any objection | to the payment of these fees. He thought | Sheehan relied upon him in the matter. | Other attorneys had been employed on | business of the bank. Watt didn’t re- member whether or not he had consulted the directors about employing them. | He denied that he had had an under- | standing that his $500 a month included all iegal work. He had no recollection of having stated to J. W. Coleman, T. S. Williams and Attorney Bartnect that the $500 included all legal services. | He denied that he had acted as attorney for the stockholders in resisting and de- fending a suit brought by the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company. He | had expressed his opinion that the suit | was being 1mgroperlv brought. When asked if he had said, in a news- paper interview, that the bringing of the suit to compel the paying up ot the un- peid capital stock was ‘legulized robbery, Watt explained that he had expressed the opinion to many persons that to compel the bona-fide stockholders, who were very few in number and who were as much the victims of the McDonalds as the deposit- ors to pay up this stock, even though it might be legally - possible, would %)e a manifest injustice. S. B. Hardenberg was put on the stand to tell of a transfer of stock made by him to Hardee. The stock had been trans- ferred to Hardenberg from M. H. Sher- man. The details of the transactions were considerably confused in the witness’ mind. William H. Phelps, one of the defend- ants in the suit, ascended the stand. His answers were very dehant and often were ' I | not responsive to the question. He had purchased a claim from ex-Director Mer- rill with money furnished bv James A. Stevens, the attorney for M. H. Sherman. Phelps admitied that he would not have purchased the claim if Merrill had not re- sizned. Phelps denied that he had been elected director in consequence of any con- spiracy whatever. He did not know and never had spoken to any of the directors except Directors Johnson and Davidson. Several witnesses who were to_testify were not present, so the court adjourned until 10 o’clock this morning. GRAND ANNUAL PICNIC.

Mrs. Sadie Nichols Arrested for Rob- bing C. H. Valpy. Mrs. Sadie Nichols, who has achieved considerable notoriety of late, and her niece, Ella Hasten, were arrested yester- day afternoon on a warrant by Detective Dillon and Policeman McGrayan on the charge of grand larceny. The compiaining witness is C. H. Valpy, a vineyaraist from Napa County. He was in Mrs. Nicho!s’ house, 116 Eddy street. last Friday night, and alleges that he was: robbed of $215. He did not discover his loss till the following day, and when he went back to the house Mrs. Nichols of- fered to return him $100. He refused to accept it, and yesterday swore out a war- rant in Judge Campbell’s court for the ar- rest of Mrs. Nichols and her niece. Mrs. Nichols denies the allegation and says that Valpy owes her $20. PROPOSED LABOR LAWS, E. L. Fitzeerald Intends Remedy Many Existing Labor Ev.lIs to Has Prepared a Synopsis to B: In dorsed by the State Labor Unions. Labor Commissioner E. L. Fitzgerald has prepared to be introduced at the next Legis'ature a series of laws formulated for the purpose of remedying and abolishing many of the evils to which l:bor has been subjected in the past and which, according to the Commissioner’s opinion, should be speedily remedied. In his letter to the labor unions of this State Mr. Fitzgerald states that it is hi desire that those directly interested in this legislation should first peruse and aprove them, and if in their opinion any changes should be made to suggest the same to him that the laws may be abso- lutely correct and meet every demand, tuus saving further legislation on the same ground. The laws embrace the fol- lowing subjects: Eight hours—Bond piotectin labor on pub- lic work,” bakeries, Te-establishing labor bu- reau and creating frce employment system, regulating employment agents, per aiem on public works, bakers’ hours, time-check system, branding prison-made goods, cost of suit upon collection of wages, collusion with employ- ment agents, employment of citizens of thi J on public work, regulating luncn ler inspection. In order to make the foregoi stood I will give a brief synopsis of same: Eight hours—section 3245 of the Political Code provides that eight hours shall constitute adey’s work. The statute is not definite and is_capable of circumvention by contractors who pay by the hour, and is therefore in many instances inoperative, requiring an amend- ment to render its enforcement effective. Bakeries—To pass a umform law requiring cleanliness and o insure purity in the manu- factured product of this important industry. clearly under- Governmental Boards Awarding Contracts— | To prohibit Boards of Supervisors councils, boards, commissions, et contracts to persons who have previously de- frauded laborers of their wages. This practice is carried on (o & large extent in San Francisco, There being no lien on public work the laborer is placed at the mercy of his employer with many disastrous resulis. Bond Protecting Labor on Public Work—The purpose of this law is analogous to the forego- ing and is framed with & view of protecting | the laborer where the foregoing, through inad- tence, might be disregarded. Creating Bureaus—Tore-establish the bureau as a burenu of labor, provide for free employ mentoffices, and to introduce vrovisions facil tating the work where the present law is de. fective and inoperative. Regulating Employment Offices—To place those persons who traflic in labor under uni- form regulations, protecting the persons deal- ing with them, and muking the said agents amenable o law for the atrocities they have 50 lone_practicea. Per diem on Public Works—Creating a mini- | mum price which laborers must be paid, in- suring a livelihood, and protecting honestem- s Against unscrupulous competitors. Bakers’ Hours—To establish uniform hours for the persons engaged in this most arduous toil; a necessary sanitary regulation. Time-check System—To abolish the system now in vogue throughout the State of depriy- ing laborers of their pay for unreasonable periods; to prevent the desperate conaition to which laborers are forced through its opera- tion—one of the greatest evils, requiring proper legislation and enforcement. dentity of Prisou-made Goods—Requirin, the branding of all goods made in the penal institntionsjof the State, to distinguisn the same from the product of free labor. Costs of Suit—To allow the person whoother- wise cannot collect money due for labor per- formed to sue for same to the extent of fifty ($50) dollars without advancing costs of suit. Collusion with employment agents—To pro- hibit employers from "contracting with em- ployment agents to furnish labor and dividing commissions paid by the latter. Employment of citizens—To prohibit the emplofmun of other tnan citizens of the United States upon publiec work. Lunch hour—To provide a reasonable time for the midday meal, obviating the evil of labor in retail establishments being torced to 'v‘islt lunch-counters and saloons Kn’ want of me. Boiler inspectors—To provide for the proper conduct of this important business as a safe- guard to life and property. Avpended to the above, Mr. Fitzgerald states he considers every laboring man to be directly interested by one or more of the laws, and it is to his interest to see that the same is passed as soon as possible. THREE: LADIES IDE A CENTURY, Members of the Alpha Club Cover the Relay Course. MADE IN ELEVEN HOURS A Remarkable Performance by a Trio of Fair Cyclists of the Mission, A NEW LEAGUE ROAD BOOK, Yeoman of the Reliance Club Made the Fastest Time of Last Sunday’s Races. Misses Mecllie Mahony, Rita Mahony and Lena Egeberg of this City, members | of the Alpha (ladies’) Cycling Club, made a remarkable wheeling trip last Sunday, riding a ‘century,”’ which is the cycular term for 100 miles, around the bay. They made the trip in a little over eleven hours, including stops aggregating two hours, and their net riding time would be a credit to any wheelman who might undertake | the journey. These young ladies are ardent wheel- | women and have from time to time taken | many long trips into the country and re- | turn of a Sunday, somerimes riding fifty or sixty miles in a day. But they were not satistied with this; fiity-mile jaunts | were too easy; they sighed for a tnp | around the bay, a ‘‘century,” which so | many men have started upon and failed to | accomplish. | And so they finally agreed to make the | trial, and last Sunday was the date set. | Would they ride paced or unpaced, how- | ever, was the question? It was easier to be | paced, they concluded, so two of their gen- | tlemen friends were invited to do the pac- ing on their tandem, Robert Duncan and H. L. Mayo of the California Cycling Club, | and they readily assented. They decided | to follow the accepted 100-mile course of | the California Associated Cycling Clubs, { over which the annual relay race is run, | and the party therefore met Sunday morn- ing at 4:30 o'clock at Tenth and Market streets for the start. It was a little too early to get any of the official judees or timers of the associated clubs there to offi- cially start them, but Mr. Mayo agreed to do the timing and act as judge, referee, | starter and scorer, and promptly at the hour set for the start they set out, the tan- dem leading a lively pace down Ninth | street to Potrero avenue, and over the San | Bruno road. | All went well until they reached the | other side of the Six.mile hill, when the | tandem broke down, and the ladies’ hopes | of pacing for the trip vanished. They de- cided to push on unpaced, and the tandem team agreed to return to the City, get an- other machine ana meet them on the Oakland side as far down as possible. This was done, the ladies riding to San Mateo, where they had breakfast and then | continned on to San Jose for an early | lunen. After an hour’s rest they left the Garden City to return on the Oskland side, pedaling against a strong head wind for the last forty miles of the journey. They | made a short stop at Centerville, expect- |ing to meet the tandem riders, but they | were not there. ‘“We’ll meet them on the | road soon,” Miss Egeberg said, and with | this hope in view they rode on to Alva- | rado—no tandem. ;‘,\‘hen the thought ! dawned upon them that the California | Cyeling Ciub had a roadrace at Haywards that afternoon and probably their escorts | had stopped there. And so it proved, but they met them at Mount Eden and paced them through to the finish of the course, | on Central avenue, Alameda, rather tired it is true, but delightea to think they had | covered the famous associated clubs’ course and had ridden a “‘century’’ under twelve hours. | The Imperial Cycling Club will give a | ladies’ night Friday evening of this week. | The California Cyeling Club will give gold century bars to their members who ride 100 miles in ten hours or less, and sil- | ver if the performance is made in less than | twelve honrs. The entries for the annual league meet at Petaluma on July 4 will close at Peta- luma next Friday, and none will be ac- | cepted which ariive later than that day. C. K. Melrose, George H. Strong and J. J. B. Argenti have been appointed a spe- cial committee by the North California Division, League of American Wheelman, to get out at once a new roadbook for the division. The supply of roadbooks is now | entirely exhausted, and the new book will ain many additional and valuable features. "he growth of the division’s membership has warranted the appointment of several | new representatives at large, and Chief Consul Kerrigan announces the following appointments, to serye until December 1, 1896: W. E. Griffith, Reliance Club Wheel- men; J. W. Harvey, California Cycling Club; Leavitt H. Cox, Olympic Club Wheelmen; John 8. Egan, Imperial Cycling Club, #The Alpha (ladies’) Cycling Club has elected Miss Dorothy Pendergast as representative from the club to the di- ision board of officers. It has been found that there was an error in the timing of the Reliance Club Wheelmen’s road race last Sunday, and the corrected table gives the credit for the best performance of the day to William Yeoman of that club, who rode the five miles in 12:30, four seconds faster than the time made by P. G. Alexander of the California Club. Yeoman rode unpaced the entire distance and his ride was very creditable. The positions of the riders at the finish were unchanged. OBJ:C11UNS GALORE. The Ashley - Baldwin Suit Becoming Drawn-out and Tircsome. The Ashley-Baldwin case vesterday was one long string of objections. No wit- nesses testified, the day being taken up with the reading of the depositions of H. C. Chaberlin of Richmond, Va., and Richard Y. Hardin, a correspondent of NEW TO-DAY €000006606 the firm :000 f nyadi Janos § THE WORLDS’ BEST NATURAL APERIENT WATER THE ONLY ONE having received over 1000 testimonials {rom Medical Authorities. CAUTION: None genuine without the signature of ; Clark’s Horse Review, with headquarters at Lexington, Ky. = Extracts of these depositions have been published and nothing new was devel- oped. In fact Mr. Crittenden, Miss Ash- ley’s attorney, objected so often and so vigorously as to raise a doubt if anything at all had been developed but his kicks. Chamberlin’s deposition told of how the Virginian had received letters from Miss Ashley stating that she wanted to correspond with “a wealthy Southern bachelor. He replied that he did not fill the bill and then failed to answer subse- quent communieations, although in one letter a photograph of the fair Lillian was inclosed. ¥ Chamberlin then told of meeting Miss Ashley on a road near his home and of her announcing that she intended to visit him. He forbid her going to his house and later accompanied her to a streetcar line and sent her away. On the drive to the streetcars she asked him to give her money to come to California, but he re- | fused her. Subsequently Chamberlin gave the pho- tograph of Miss Ashley to Mr. Hardin. That gentleman met her at a horse sale in Lexington, Ky., a year or two afterward and visited the house at which she was stopping. Hardin informed her that he knew of the Chamberlin episode and threatened unless she immediately took her departure from his friend’s house he would expose her. She departed. Hardin’s deposition then teils how be wrote to E. J. Baldwin when he read of the suit filed against him by Miss Ashley. Hardin told Baldwin what he knew of the plaintiff’s past and also put | Baldwin’s attorney in communication with Chamberlin. A PUBLISHER WEDDED. Ernest F.
