THE SAN FRAN CISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 1896. i FRANCISCO'S GREAT FLAG DAY The Exempts to Celebrate | the Seizure of Yerba Buena. NINTH OF JULY, 1846. Hoisting the Stars and Stripes | Where the Mexican Flag | Once Floated. ‘ CAPT, MONTGOMERY AND MEN. | t | How It Hsppened That Two of he} Principal Strests of the City Were } Nemed—A Colicky Crowd. | = ! On the 7th prox. there will be a general | celebration at Monterey in honor of the | fi:‘t:(.I} anniversary of the raising of the | Ameriean tlag at that place by Commo- | | ceremony and salute to the flag, the ma- | Thursday that the flag was hoisted—this and Washington streets and Portsmouth square were named. “That was a great event,” said James O’Donnelt, a prominent member of the gallant band of firemen—and there are only afew of them left who will celebrate the raising of the flag—‘farther reaching from a political and commercial point than those who took possession of the country ever dreamed of. The develop- ments of balf a century prove this. Cap- tain Montgomery had no idea of the wealth of gold California would produce, neither did Commodore Sloat, who detached the Portsmouth from his fleet to go north and seize Yerba Bnena. “But there is one thing that Mr. Howe neglected to tell. It was something that happened on board the sloop after the marines returned to the sloop. After the rines, somewhat thirsty, drained their | canteens, and before going aboard stip | again they wanted water to quench their thirst. They all drank water from a small stream that flowed into the bay near the voint of embarkation. When on the ves- sel the men were all seized with cramps, and for a time it was thought there wasa visitation of cholera, but under the treat ment of the ship’s surgeon, who pro- nounced each case a severe attack of colic, caused by the water that the men had | partaken of, they all recovered in a short | time. “Oa the 9th, which will fall on a Thurs- day—and, strange to say, it was on a 10 San Francisco great historical ev ent, or rather the fiftieth anniversary thereo f, will be celebrated, and the honor of raising the tlag has been given to the exempts. While we highly appreciate this, we prefer to as- sist rather than take the lead in this mat- ter, and for that reason have add ressed GEORGE T. BOHEN, PRESIDENT OF THE ~ | EXEMPT FIRE COMPANY. [ 1 t, and on the 9th of the month | be celebration in this on Portsmouth ein honor of the raising of the American flug over Yerba Buena—as San Francisco Yy years ago was know 1d at the request of Major E. | A. Sherman and the Veterans of the Mex- ican war the me:nbers of the Exempt Fire Company will have ce of the raising of the flag on that day. Ont he9th of September, 1846, the United States sloop of war Portsmouth entered the bay of San Franciseo and in a short time came to anchor in a cove formed by a jutting of land w h became known as Clarks Point and w h is now the corner of Broadway and Sansome street, and an | other jutting which 1snow the corner of | Sansome and Bush streets. The point at which she lay was between Merchant and Sacramento, Montgomery and Sansome streets, at a point best indicated at this time by the Clay-street market. The v gel, in command of Captain Montzomer lay broadside to the town of Yerba Buena, having just came up from Monterey. What occurred was told in the follow- ing language by C. E. B. Howe thirty-five years ago in g personal recollec- | tions of early 8an Francisco: The sloop-of-war Portsmouth lay broadside | to the town, and her open ports and waving | bunting told of some unusual aciion. Pres- | ently two boats, laden with seventy marines, | pushed off from the stde of the vessel. In the | bow of the foremost boxt stood the comman- | der, and as the loat's keel grated on the'| beach he sprang on shore and climbed the bank that wasa few feet above the landing. The sergeant, with the colors, followed, the men were drawn upin line, and as they formed | & partial curve the lieutenant, A. Bartlett, ‘ cried out: “Fell back on the left; keep your line straight as a street”; then, after a pause, ’ with a comie leer at the captain, ‘‘straight as | Montgomery street,”” at which the marines | were disposed to cheer. Captain Mont- | gomery cried out, “Silence!” as_firmly as he | could, while his face profuse with blushes. | The captain twok the lead, while the leutensnt commanded; the band struck up! “Hail, Columbia,” and the word “forward” | was given. They marched straight forward | until they came in a line with the adobe Cus- | tom-house on the Plaza, when the major again gave the order: ‘‘Right flank—mareh! up, Washington street.” Severallaughed, for they | were in extremely good humor, and s they | got opposite the flagstaff on the Plaza, again | he gave the order: ~Company! by the right | flank—march! to the fiagstaff on Portsmouth | square.” Then the company,did laugh; they | took the town with smiles. The Sub-Prefect | protested in the name of the Mexican Govern- ment against the invasion, but, as he spoke in Spenish, his remarks were taken for congratu- lations. The American fiag was made fast to the hal- yards, and Captain Montgomery raised it to the peak. All the town was present, .and two- thirds of the people cheered lustily as the | stars and stripes floated out on the morning breeze. Then followed thirteen volleys from the guns of the marines, end an answering re- | sponse irom the Portsmouth. Captain Mont- gomery read Sioat’s proclamation declaring the surrounding country under American jurisdiction. That nighta patroi guarded the town,and 21l the neighborhood gathered at the puebla of Yerba Buena to see the flag and gaze into the open doors of the Consul's cesa. The joy- ousness was contagious, for the Mexicans got up en impromptu festival of their own, and all night long they kept up dancing and drinking. When the morning dswned the postriders from Monterey bad to wake them up from thelr blankets to tell them the wonderful news; that California was taken, and that the Americans were conquering Mexico, and soon would move the seat of the American Govern- ment to the ancient capital of the Aztecs. Ju | The little sketch tells how Montgomery | but the bold footpad is still at large, | business will help him there wiil not be a communications to Admiral Beardslee and General Forsyth asking each to take part in the matter, as the seizure was the work of the United States forces. “still, the exempts will do all they can to make the celebration. There will prob- ably be the firing of a salute, music and oratory, but as the boys are few in num- ber—less than a hundred—and their treas- ury is very low, they cannot afford to get | up a feast such as they could do when they | had 1200 names on their roll. “There is one thing to which I would like® to draw the attention of our mer- chants. The old exempts will, like the marines in '46, have work to do that will make tiem thirsty, and they are afraid that if they are forced to drink the water that flows from the faucets they and those who will assist ther: may, like the marines, be affected with colic. A. P. Hotaling, himself an old-time exempt, has assured us that so far as he is concernea the boys need not fear colic, as he will provide an antidote, and if others in the same line of colicky exempt, soldier or murine on the ground on that day.” HE HELD UP HS ANDS A. E. Buckman, the Well-Known Contractor, Robbed on Ellis Street. A Revolver in the Hands of a Foot- pad Was Too Convincing for Any Resistance. Just how many hold-ups have occurred since June 16, when the fool policy of the Board of Supervisors of shutting off the street lights was inaugurated, will never be known. Several have been published, but there are a large number that are known only to the *‘upper offics” at police headquarters, those reporting them having received specific instructions to keep the affair out of the newspapers. Among the number thus enjoined was A. E. Buckman, the weli-known con- tractor. About 2 o’clock Thursday morn- ing be was walking along Ellis street on his way bhome. The moon was shining, but he happened to be on the dark side of the streei. ‘When between Hyde and Leavenworth streets a man jumped out of a doorway’ behind Buckman and startled him by say- ing menacingly, “Hold on; I want you!” Buckman wheeled ronnd and was startled by sreing the muzzle of a revolver in front of his nose. It was so dark that he could not aistinguish the features of the man, and he believes the man’s face was partiaily covered. “Tarow up your hands, and be quick about 1t!” was the next command. Buck- man promptly cobeyed, and the footpad, in a way that showed he was an old hand at the business, soon relieved him of all | the money he bhad in his pockets—$36 in gold and silver—his gold watch and chain and other valuables. Buckman and the footpad did not ex- change a word while the operation was going om, but after the footpad satisfied himself he had got everything of value he said, “Now you can go,” and disap- peared in the darkness. RIDING MAY BE | Certain Water Transportation Lines | tion Company has complied with the orders MADE CHEAPER, Position of the Railroad Commission Relative to Street Railways. NEAR A CRUCIAL POINT. Decided Steps to Be Taken at the Next Session of the Board. MAY PUNISH FOR CONTEMPT. Declared to B: Under Control of the Commission. At the next meeting of the Railroad Commission, July 8, decided steps will be taken to bring about a settlement of the question of the board’s jurisdiction in re- lation to streec railways, with a view to reducing streetcar fares in this City. Since the last meeting of the commis- sion letters have been received from various’ street-railway companies, refusing to ac- knowledge the authority of the board. These companies had been requested to make a report of their financial standing and operations to the commission, but positively declined to do so. Meanwhile, the board had asked At- tornev-General Fitzgerald to give it his opinion on the matter of jurisdiction over street railways and also over steamship Jransportation companies, several of .the latter baving alro declined to recognize the power of the board to regulate their charces for passengers and freight. In a communication directed to the commission yesterday the Attorhey-Gen- eral gave it as his opinion that the board’s jurisdiction extended ovar all steamship companies operating within the State, providing the vessels of such companies did not go outside of the marine league limit from shore in traveling from port to ort. g This practically exempts the line of the Pacific Coast Steamship Compauy plying between here and San Diego and the steamers running between Humboldt Bay and this City from the jurisdiction of the commission. Suggestions are made by the Attorney- General to the board as to the course to be vursued to properly exercise its authority over the water transportation companies. In the matter of street railways, the At- torney-General reirained from expressing an opinion, but suggested that the com- mission take such action as would lay the “proper legal foundation for a test case.” His communication in full is as follows: Iam in receipt of your favor of recent date relative to the “notice and order” sent by your board to certain steamship companies and owners of steamers requiring them to file with your board reports containing certain enumerated matters, and ealling my attention to the fact that “tnc Wilmington Transporta- and filed its report; the remainder have even failed to acknowledge receiptof the same, ex- cept the Pacific Cosst Steamship Company, which denies the jurisdiction of the bosrd over its affairs,” and requesting me to take such action as 1 may deem proper; &iso inclosing copy of “resolution adopted by the board iu reference to street railways.” 1| am also in receipt of your communication rela- tive (0 your rignt to regulate the fares charged for the transportation of passengers by street railwass witnin cities and towns or between two towns in this State, In reply I desire to state: First—As to stcamship companies and own- ers of steamers, [ am of tne opinion that your board has no_jurisdiction “to regulate or in- terfere with the transportation of persons or merchandise between points within the State, if * * * the transportation involves a voy- age upon the ocean,” and that, therefore, where the vessels .of such companies or own- ers “in making their voyages navigate the Pa- cific Ocean racre than a marine league from shore,” even though they touch at no ports which are not within this’ State, you have no control over them whatever. (See Pacific Coest Steamshi. 4 Railroad Com- | missioners. 18 Fed. Steam- ship Company, 102 U. 5., 544; Cowden vs, Pa- cific Coast Steamship Company, 94 Cal., 470.) 1f, however, the vessels of any of these com- panies or owners do noi go upon the high seas in transporting pessengers und merchandise between points wholly within this State, 1 am | of the opinion that as to such transportation between such points you have the power and it is your duty “lo estublish rates of charges” therefor; that, for this purpose, you are authorized by law to examine the ‘‘books, records and papers” of the companies or per- sons owning such vessels and that you may “issue subpenas and other necessary process’ to compel the production of such of their “books, records and papers” as you consider it necessary to examine. (< onstitution of Cal- ifornia, section 22, article XII. 1am further of the opinion that for the pur- pose of regulating the rates of sny such com- panies or owners of steamers as are within your jurisdiction, you had better proceed in ihe manner authorized by the constitution, | and issue subpenas duces tecum to the officers of the companies or the owners of the steam- ers, requiring them to appear before you with such books &s you wish 1o examine. Therefore, if there are any such within your jurisdiction, and it is your intention (o pro- ceed further against them, I will, if you de- sire, upon a written requsest from you naming | them and specifying what books, etc., you wish brought before you, prepare the neces- sary subpenas. Second—In view of the resolution adopted by your board at your last meeting, requesting me to take snoh sieps as may be necessary to test your right to regulate the fares charged by street railways for the transportation of pas- sengers, it Decomes unnecessary for me to answer your former letler requesting an opinion upon that subject. I will, however, comply with the request contained in your resolution, whenever you lay the proper iegal foundation for a test ccse. THis, in my opinion, you have not as yet dove, and I will, if you 0 desire, prepare such Ylbflr!. 10 be served by you as T deem essential for that purpose. Railroad Commissioner James 1. Stan- ton declared yesterday that the sugges- tion of the Attorney-General would be followed out at the next session of the board, which will be held on July 8—a week from next Wednesday. He said the method pursued in the mat- ter of the street railways would, in all probability, be the same as that recom- mended in reference to the steamship companies. Subpenas duces tecum will be issued requiring the officers of the com- panies or the owners of the streetcur lines to appear before the commission with such books, papers, etc., as may be neces- sary in the opinion of the board to arrive at an intelligent idea of the investment, revenue and profits of the company. Commissioner Stanton is inclined to exercise the full power of fthe board, which, he says, is given the right to pun- ish for contempt the same asa court of record. 3 He is of the opinion that any official who refuses to obey the subpenas of the commission should be punished for con- tempt, either by fine or imprisonment, or both. A more conservative method fa- vored by others is that a refusal to obey a subpena shoutd be followed by au applic; tion for a writ of mandate to the State Su- preme Court, directed against the recalci- trant company or officer. The latter course, it is claimed, wouid raise the ques- tion of jurisdiction and settle the powers of the commission in this regard for ail time. In view of these developments the next session of the commission promises to be of more than usual interest. The police were notified of the robbery, I Death Rate.

Telephone “Pins” Will you allow yourself to fall into the miserable state of Nervous Debility when there is a cure at hand? | J T IS PITTABLE to think of the vast number of men who go on | from day to day suffering mental and physical torture as a result of their weakness, while right at their doors other men are | being cured of the same disease. One who has not known it himself cannot realize the feelings of the man in an advanced stage of Nervous Debility, nor does he hear of it, for these men Even when they are fortunately led to use the remedy which is now so well known—Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt—and are cured by it, they do not mention it to| their closest friends; hence the prevalence of this trouble and | the means of cure are appreciated only by those who have had experience. Considering these points, it is worth while to note how many men throw aside all feelings of delicacy and give to the world, | for the benefit of fellow-suiferers, the fact of their cure by Dr.| Sanden’s Electric Belt. “T could dance with joy when I consider that I have been saved from the necessity of living the rest of my life in that miserable condition,” says J. A. J. Morse, Los Gatos, Cal., after using Dr. Sanden’s Belt one month. Such gratitude must give vent to words of praise. Mr. Morse is a man past his prime and was given up by Dr. Urquhart of Los Gatos. He was in the last stages of Nervous Debility and is now | fast recovering his strength. Mr. L. L. Jaccard, one of the best known and most respected men in Alameda County,in the jewelry business at San Leandre, was cured by Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt over a year ago. Last week he said: “I have no delicacy in making this statement. Your Belt has cured me of a varicocele and weakness that has been slowly destroying me for twenty-six years, and now that I am cured I think it is no more than right to tell the rest of the poor suffer- ers of it. A thing that is really good ought to be spoken of.” Mr. Jaccard is now one of the best specimens of physical man- hood in Alameda County. He is fifty years of age, five feet nine inches in height, weighs 210 pounds and does not carry an| ounce of superfluous flesh. His form is a mass of muscle. Strength of manhood is not dependent upon flesh. Fat men are seldom vigorous. This strength is in the nerves, and the life is electricity. This explains the reason for the inevitable| failure of drugs and the success of Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt in | restoring the lost power. Applied for three to six hours in the twenty-four, at any | time during the day or night that is most convenient to the| patient, it saturates the system with Electric energy (animal magnetism), and this energy slowly builds up the forces of all vital parts. The vigor of manhood expands and becomes perfect in two or three months. “I received your Belt on February 9 last, and wore it for two or three hours every night for about two months. I am cured, and my partner, Henry Mauvis, used the same belt for vital weakness and it has cured him,” says Julius Jahn, Silver Star, Montana, May 17. No remedy is so easy to use as Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. None gives such quick results. It has a patented regulator,which enables the wearer to turn the current on mild or strong at will while the Belt is on the body. It is warranted to last and give a strong Electric current for one year. It is by all means the surest cure for any weakness. Young, middle-aged and old men should send for Dr. San. den’s famous work, “Three Classes of Men,” which will be sent, closely sealed, without marks, free. It gives full information, and hundreds of letters from people cured. 1t may save you s great deal of suffering. Get it. Address or call, .
