16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1896. SOME STRANGE SCHOOL CHANGES the| Now Occurring at Cogswell Polytechnic College. | L.A. BUCHANAN RESIGNS Was Sorely Displeased With His Surrounding Conditions. He J. H, CULVER TO SUCCEED HIM. The Singular Story of a Famous Co'lege and ‘Its Venerable Founder. Since the close of the term, two weeks | ago, the board of trustees of the Cogswell | Polytechnic College has accepted the | resignation of its principal professor, | i remarked last night. B. Cornwall, he was elected secretary of the Mechanics’ Institute, which position he has ably filled ever since. For several terms he has served as a member of the Board of Education, but further than this is not known to have had thead- vantage of any practical or professional school experience. He has consented to give all possible assistance to his successor until after the coming fair, but will nom- inally take control of the school at the opening of the term. Robert Cash and J. H. Wood are among the prominent candi- dates for the vacant secretaryshi 4 Professor Buchanan is inclined to main- tain a discreet silence concerning the troubles in the Cogswell Polytechnic Col- lege, and, incidentaliy, the causes which led to his own removal. One thing is well established, however, Professor Buchanan entertains a cordial dislike for the gentleman in whose honor the college is named, and says that under no circumstances would he remain_at the head of an institution with which the doctor had any connection. Just the cause of the trouble between the principal and the founder of the school.is not easily learned. Professor Buchanan says that at the proper time he will teli all he knows. In the meantime he prefers to deal en- tirely in innuendoes. “I'have nothing to say at present,’’ he ‘At no very distant 1l have something day, however, I s nd then—'’ and the interesting to tell, professor sighed. “The entire faculty was dismissed about five weeks ago without the slightest warn- ing, though I had previously resigned, because of another situation in view which was better in every James G.

The vacancy thus| created will pbe filled upon the reopening of the school, August 3, by the appoint- | ment of James H. Culver, the secretary of | the Mechanics’ Institute. | This leaked out yesterday, and more | surprises are soon expected to occur in | connection with the conduct of the college and the institute. | Just at present the parties most inter- | ested are, for personal reasons, reluctant | 1o talk. | Ferdinand Formhals of the board of trustees of the Mechanics’ Institute stated | that the resignation of Secretary Culver | has been received and will be formally accepted at the next session of the trus- tees on Tuesday evening, July 7. The resignation of Professor Buchznan has already been formally accepted and he is now considering which one of the several offers made him will be the most accept- sble. He may, perhaps, enter the San Francisco School Department, or he may | conclude to join the educational corps of the Throop Institute of Southern Cali- fornia. As yet he is undecided and will be governed by the turn of future events. So far as Secretary Culver is concerned, it is virtually decided that upon the open- g of the term next August assume the principaiship of the Cogswell Polytechnic College. The reason for these changes are not quite clear. The air is full of rumors, but nothing very definite can as yet be stated. Professor Buchanan is a practical me- chanic and was formerly an instructor in he will | T TEACHERS' CLUBS, But Between Them There Ex- ists No Conflicting In- terests. Distinct Purposes of the Teachers’ Club and the New Teachers’ Council. There is not, as has erroneously been | supposed, the slightest conflict of interests or antagonism existing between the “San i Francisco Teachers’ Club” and the “Teach- | ers’ Council,” the organization of which was recently authorized by a resolution introduced in the Board of Education by Director C. A. Murdock. In fact, the aims'and objects of the two societies are quite distinct. There is ro | good reason to suppose that they cannot | co-operate harmoniously and prove each 1n its own sphere beneiicial to its respect- ive members aud the School Department. The purpose of the Teachers’ Club, of | which Milton E. Blanchard of the Lowell High School is president, is chiefly of an | intellectual character, while that of the Teachers’ Council will be more legislative than intellectual. The Teachers’ Club marks the develop- the Leland Stanford Jr. University. At the opening of the California (the James Lick) School of Mechanical Arts he was engaged by Principal George A. Merrill as the head of the department of mathe- matics, From this position he resigned, a year or two ago, to take the principalship of the Cogswell Polytechnic College on Folsom street. At that time the financial affairs of the institution were in an uncertan and un- satisfactory condition. A s, filed by its founder, Dr. H. D. Cogsweil, to break the deed of trust, was pendingin the courts and upon the decision depended the fu- ture income and status of the school. Since then, under 2 decision of the Su- preme Court of California, the life of the college is perpetuated and it has now an assured income of $20,000 a year. Itscon- trol is vested in a board of trustees, con- sisting of Dr. and Mrs. H. D. Cogswell, Messrs. Culver, Ewing, Lewis, Doble and Knight. The appointment of J. H. Culver as rincipal of the Cogswell Polytechnic Col- ege has caused considerable comment in educational circles, it being argued that the position can be properly filled only by a trained teacher. In that line Mr. Cul- ver makes no pretensions. He is an experienced man of business, with & mechanical turn of mind. Many years ago he was superintendent of the old Clay-street Hill Cable Railroad.

Last winter | it was reorganized with a constitution pro- | viding for an active membership limited | to forty. These-forty members alone had | the right to vote and possessed ostensibly he power of regulating the affairs of the | club, the officers of which had co be se- | lected from among them. The reason for this numerical restriction was to insure the attention to the needs of the club that could advantageously be given it by a small and select body. A line of work resembling the seminary work of some of the larger educational in- stitutions was mapped out and tne co- operation of the University of California and the Leland Stanford Jr. University was enlisted. Professor Bailey of the University of California gave a valuabie course of lectures upon pedagogy, a French class was established under the tuition of Professor Roger, an accomplished linguist and scholar of Trinity School. Pro- fessor Hudson of the Stanford University gave a course of Saturday morning lec- tures on literature. A class in manual training was also started. The privilege of any or all these classes was open alike to all the members, active or associate. Serious objections were raised subse- RED-VISAGED WAR N CHINATOWN. Wong Family Withdraws From the See Yup Company. LURID NOTICES POSTED. Chee Tong Tries to Abolish the Boycott on the Sam Yup Company. POLICE WARN THE FACTIONS. Sergeants Helms and Harper Kept Exceedingly Busy Tearing Down Posters. The strongest Chinese faction in this City, known.as the Wong family, unaer the leadership of Chee Tong, has with- arawn from the See Yup Company, with the object of breaking the boycott on the Sam Yup Company. This boycott has been’oppreseing China- town'’s poor for almost a vear, and as its effect has raised the price of all Chinese commodities fully 20 per cent it is evident that the poverty-stricken Celestials have just cause for complaint. This fact, however, is not considered as being worthy of a second thought in the minds of the agitators, and in consequence Chinatown is bubbling over with excite- ment. Highbinders are out in force dis- cussing the withdrawal of the Wong family and trouble is imminent. Anextra force of policemen was detailed iast even- ing to patrol the streets of the Mongolian quarter. They were instructed that in event of'a riot or trouble of any descri tion they were to use all the means in their power to preserve the peace. Uptoa few weeks ago Chee Tong was the secretary cf the See Yup Company, but he was discharged on some pretense or other, and forthwith laid plans to equal- ize the score. First, he got the Wong family to with- draw from the See Yup Company in order to break up this bovcott. Then he issued circulars stating that any member might buy wherever and what- evr he pleased and at whatever place he could get what he wanted the cheapest. He also stated thatin case of any troubie the Wong family would take a hand and, if necessary, resort to force of arms. Upon hearing this the See Yup Com- pany immediately posted circulars all over the Chinese guarters. Groups were scat- tered through the streets yesterday deeply interested in the lurid-colored posters. Kong Chow, secretary of the See Yups and a member of the Bo Ong Tong So- ciety, was the person who issued the cir- culars, which are freely translated as fol- lows: Members of the See Yup Company do not stir up any trouble. We made & contract last July 10 boycott the S8am Yup Company, and as the Wong family has withdrawn we must see that they are brought back into the combination. Actlike gentiemen, and make no trouble on the street. Use discretion so as to uphold the honor of the company, but be firm and stend by the contract. The See Yup has twelve societies and made a contract to boycott the San Yup Company over a year ago last July. This has cansed many murders, J. Harper, sergeant of the Chinatown squad, and Sergeant Helms of the Cali- fornia-street station, the latter having eight officers under his command, busied themselves all day yesterday tearing down posters and scattering crowds of jabbering Celestials who congregated on the street corners. ‘The sergeants have informed both factions that in event of trouble they will also take an active part in the pro- ceedings. THE CRAVEN CASE. Lawyers paring for the Hearing, ‘Which Will Be Resumed Thursday, No one lifted a finger in the matter of the Fair will yesterday or the matter of the Craven deeds, unless the service of formal papers upon the lawyers opposed to Mrs. Craven-Fair in the ejectment suit may be excepted. Mr. Delmas was engaged in San Jose making his argument in the Parker will case. i George A. Knight was engaged in court and the other lawyers in the case make no admission of new discoveries of flaws in the deeds or other developments whatso- ever. The matter will come up for hearing be- fore Judge Slack at 11 o’clock Thursday mworning, when Mrs. Craven will take the stand again and complete the story of the theft frown herof the ink will at or near Og- den, while returning to this City from New York with both copies. Bhe was at the time hurrying here in response to tele- grams from Reuben H. Lloyd that warned her that the trust will would be probated if she delayed. . The hearing will probably run through several days and the marriage contract will be introduced before its conclusion. Mrs. Haskins, Mrs. Craven’s friend who visited her the day Senator Fair is said to have written the pencil will, will be put on the stand to tell what she saw and did on thatday. Mrs. Craven is still ill and refuses to talk about the case. THE FIGHTING ACTORS, quently to the limitation of the number of active members, and the constitution was, consequently, amended and this un- American provision was abolished. The club is now squarely upon its feet and hopes to be a permanent organization that will in due time develop a true profes- sional spirit among the public school educators of San Francisco. The line of activity will be in the direction of af- fording an opportunity to teachers to pur- sue any course of study they may desire under the direction of the best available instructors. The universities are gener- ously disposed toward the club, and it has been suggested that the work done under the direction of its professors be accredited as extension work. Sharkey Is Open for an Engage- ment to Tour Through the Country. Sam Fitzpatrick Writes That Fitz. simmons Is Frosted in London ' and That Jackson Is Well. Tom Sharkey remained over in Oakland last evening. He finished his engagement at the. Alcazar on Sunday evening, and yesterday he was looking up engagements elsewhere. Before leaving for Oakland he The delightful reception held by the club at the close of the term shows that the social phase is not neglected. Follow- ing are the announcements of the studies for the next term, beginning in August: French classes and manual training con- tinued; course of lectures by Dr. E. E. Brown, U. C.; lecture by Professor G. H. Howison, U. C.; class in zoology, ten les- sons in 1aboralor_v. and six or eight lec- tures by Dr. W. E. Ritter, U. C.; class in literature, also genernl monthly meeting. The Teachers’ Council will be organized immediately after vacation. ——— Dr. Dille, Not Dr. Case. Througa an error in yesterday’s issue it was made to appear that the address on “The Fourth and Foreign Flags” had been delivered by Dr. Case. This should have read Dr. Dille, who is the pastor of the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, where the address wasgiven. dropved in to see bis friend Gilleran of the Windsor Hotel, and smilingly informed him that he had arranged with the Fraw- ley Company, which is at present playing at the Columbia Theater, to travel with the company through the State. During the acts Sharkey and Needham were to appear in a boxing bout of three or four rounds. Gilleran seemed pleased to learn that Sharkey was so very successful in having consummated an agreement to that end with such a prominent company and wished him success. # Manager Friedlander of the Columbia Theater, when spoken to on the subject last evening, was very indignant that any such report had found circulation. “Why, there’s not a word of truth inir,” said Mr. Friedlander, “and I can assure you that this company will have nothing to do with Mr. Sharkey or any other pugilist. No, sir,this company can get along very well without the necessity of having to engage fistic talent.” Dan Lynch, Sharkey’s manager, could not be found evening, but in all prob- ability if Bharkey will on the road as a star boxing verformer fi:’a will join some company which will be organized from among the numerous actors about town who are now looking for any kind of en- gagement that will bring them in an hon- est dollar. Jim Corbett will leave to-da; row for Bartlett Springs, fie will be joined by his wife and some friends. After a fow weeks at the springs Corbett will journey East to Asbury Park, his old training quarters. Young Mitchell had a ietter yesterday from Sam Fitzpatrick, the successful trainer and handler of noted pugilists. Fitzpatrick stated in his letter that he had had a chat with Peter Jackson and that the big colored pugilist was looking first-class. The trainer did not say, how- ever, that Peter intended to enter the ring again, and his silence on this point has been interpreted as meaning that Peter’s days as a champion pugilist are passed. 1t would be interesting to know what Jackson bas to say now of Corbett. Of Fitzsimmons, Fitzpatrick said that the New Zealander was having somewhat of a frost in England, and that the money he expected to make on the stage is not materializing. Evidently the English people have a very different opinion from Americans of pugilists of the present day who have a predilection for the stage. The actor- pugilist would not make his salt in any country other than Amerioa, and Sullivan discovered that, to his chagrin, when he visited Australia with the intention of returning home laden down with Austra- lian gold. Fitzpatrick will soon return to this coun- try with his charge, ©hampion “Kid” Lavigne, and, of course, he will be ready with man and money to talk business with any pugilist or pugilistic manager, or to-mor- ROUTE OF THE VALLEY ROAD, First Authentic Map of the Southern Pacific’s Competitor. FROM OFFICIAL DATA. In Position to Draw From Two Strong Tentacles of the “Octopus.” NEW STATE RAILROAD CHARTS Expected to Be Ready for Distribution the Latter Part of This Week. Within a week the official railroad map of the State Board of Railroad Commis- sioners wils be ready for distribution. It is nearly five years since the last map ot with the conditions of his contract and has turned that boulevard over to the City in a thoroughly remodeled condition. The old Folsom street that was is no more, and now the old swampy and ill- vaved street is as smooth and even as the surface of a billiard-table with the excep- tion of the block between Nintn and Tenth, which is yet covered with cobbles. The whole has been covered with a cou- crete bed, upon which is spread a coating of bitumen, making it one of the best thoroughfares in the City. . The Market-street Railroad Company s _yielded to public policy and har- mbnized the portion between the double lirie of tracks with the same material as the balance of the street. This portion of the work will be finished in the course of a week, after which the residents and the traveling public will be made glad with the hum of the electric-cars, which will go speeding along its line from the water front to Twenty-ninth street. For all this improvement the Mission Veo‘file with one accord feel grateful to A. B. Maguire for the laudable interest he has taken in their welfare and happiness. SIX NEW ENSIGNS ARRIVE. Just Graduated ¥From Annapolis and Assigned to the Philadelphia. Six young naval officers, fresh from the United States academy at Annapolis, arrived at the Occidental last night. ‘Thney have been assigned to duty on the cruiser Philadelphia and will go to Santa Cruz to join their ship. The party consists of C. M. Jozer of Little Falls, N. Y.; I. C. Wettengel of Denver, Colo.; G. 8. Lincoln of Liberty, Mo.; J. A. Kearney of Springfield, Iil.; Arthur MacArthur Jr. of * Milwaukee, Wis., and Mr. Wurtsbaugh of Jefferson, Tex. There isonly one homely man in the lot, and he is good-natured.

Manager Gibbs ot the National Club states that Mr. Trueman, president of the Civic Federation, was present at the con- test between Corbett and Sharkey, and that he occupied a seat in a box set apart specially for him and his friends. The report that Trueman had telephoned Gibbs and Greom for extra seats was erroneous. “1 received a telephone message at the Pavilion that Mr. Trueman desired three extra tickets,”” said Gibbs, “but I soon discovered that the message was sent by some enterprising individuals who thought the scheme would work and that he could obtain first-class seats without having to pay a cent for them. I telephoned back that the $5 tickets were all sold, but that if he—the one who telephoned—would put in an appearance with his friends at the door of the Pavilion some gzood seats would be provided for them. The schemers did not put in an appearance, much to the disgust of a big husky scrapper who had a well-seasoned hickory club in readiness to give the telephoners a warm reception, The Occidental Club has made all pre- parations necessary for its exhipition at the Payilion on Thursda; evening. The two “Billies” —Smith and Gallagher—are in splendid condition and a rattling good ten-round contest can be looked for. If Joe Choynski is in town on the evening in question he will be selected to referee the contest. Tom Sharkey, Tim McGrath and Jimmy Anthony will act as Smith’s sec- onds and Young Carkeek, Jim Jeffries and G. Mulverhill will esquire Gallagher. The preliminaries will consist of a ten- round bout between Long, 184 pounds and Jeffries, 195 pounds; also a six-rount bout between the clever lightweight boxers, Danny Mahoney and Joe Sullivan. A MARRIAGE AT SEA. Attorney F. A. Rossi Holds That 1t Is Porfectly Legal in Any Event. Attorney F. A. Rossi holds that the marriage of the Maglios—uncle and niece— last Bunday morninizon a tug at sea out- side of the jurisdiction of the State, is a lawful contract, inasmuch as the validity of a marriage depends upon the law of the place where it is contracted. “One of the morning papers,’’ said Mr, Rossi, “had me making a long discussion upon nternational law. Isay there is no such law involved in this case, and a mar- risge on the high seas is governed by the agreement of the parties to the contract. Ifitis lawful for the master of a vessel at sea to marry a man and woman aboard of his ship, then the law prevails in that locality, and in 51 California the Supreme Court has decided that under the laws of this State the legality of the marriage de- pends upon the law of the place where that marriage is contracted. “In some foreign countriés marriages within a degree of consanguinity are law- ful and we have not Lesrd that our courts have declared such contracts illegal when the parties have 1mmigrated to this State. il pukmfiof this icular case 1 ad- vised the Maglios io take this step not because I approved of it from a moral nlndgoint. for I most em%hnflcnlly do not. It was a case of doing the best thing possible under the circumstances. The; also obtained legal advice 1n Fresno nns were told that they could be legally married at sea.” £ .

RS ” the commission was issued and several new railroads have been added to the transporiation lines of the State during this period, by far the most important be- ing the Ban Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway. Among the roads which will appear for the first time on this map are the San Francisco and San Joaquin Vailey: Ala- | meda and San Joaquin; Monterey and Fresno; Oakland, San Leandro ano Hay- wards (electric); Crescent City and Smiths Raver; Bodie and Benton; Pacific Lumber Company’s; San Diego, Pacific Beach and La Jolla; Mount Lowe. The map last issued was brought up to November 15, 1891, and the one about to be published will recora the railroad development up to date. Six thousana copies will be printed, 1000 of which will be mounted. There are already about 2500 applications for them on filein the office of the com- mission, 500 having come from foreign countries. The latter are mainly from banks and financial institutions. They will be about 4x5 feet, and are drawn on a scale of fifteen miles to the inch. Lattle but the routes of the iron rails will be shown on them, thus making them peculiarly serviceable for railroad information. They will be more nearly accurate than any other map published so far as railroad lines are concerned, as the drawings were mngs from official data furnished by each road. On the proof submitted yesterday the Southern Pacific’s great competitor, the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway, is shown only half way from Stockton to Merced, when in fact the road is completed beyond Merced and is in op- eration for wheat shipments two stations the other side of that city. The attention of the Railroad Commission will be called to this matter to-day, and an effort will be made by the Valley road people to have their line shown on this map as far as its route has been definitely fixed. This is considered an important matter, as an- other similar map will not be published for some years. More than usual interest attaches to this road and the route it is to take, asitis recognized as the only genuine competitor on a large scale that the Southern Pacific has ever had within the State, and this in- terest has been intensified b{ its recent in- auguration of the war it is destined to carry on against its rival. No authentic map of the Valley road has heretofore been published, for the simple reason that none could be drawn, owing to the tncer- tainty of its route caused by right-of-way litigation. It was only last week that the last of these suits between Stockton and Merced was _settled. The map herewith presented is from the official records of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway, and shows that road as it will probably appear on the revised map of the Railroad Commission. The monopoly’s great rival, it will be seen, runs about midway between two of the most profitable branches of the Southern Pacific Company. It is thus in a position to draw traffic from both, as it undoubt- edly will, and even though the Southern Pacific meets the cuts of the monopoly- destroying road the people who have long suffered from the exactions and extortions of the Huntington properties are likely to favor the road which has at last broken some of the tentacles of the *‘octopus.” FOLSOM STREET FINISHED.

Pink lemonade in small glasses and Turkish cigarettes were the most evi- dent sources of good cheer. Their class, which graduated June 5, numbered only thirty-eight, twelve being assigned to the enfiineers‘ corps. The prospective long wait for the peace- ful or violent retirement of superior offi- cers does not worry the young ensigns at present, for they are already planning a summer campaign among the fair habitues of Santa Cruz and Monterey, where they have to put in a good deal of time before the Philadelphia shall start for Alaska. HER PRETTY EVES HILLED Miss Lansing Rowan’s Hard Ordeal at the Columbia Theater. A Thoughtless Jcke Spoken in Fun Is One of the Causes of Her Great Unhappiness. You ask me the reason? I know you won't Iaugh— I've a little one dying at home. —Dorkins’ Night. ‘Miss Lansing Rowan had a sad heart when she stepped on the stage last night at the Columbia. The newsof her father’s suicide in Batavis, N. Y., on Sfunday almost unftted her for any public func- tion. Manager T. Daniel Frawley, ap- preciating her condition and sympathiz- ing with the young lady, asked her to re- main in seclasion with her sorrow for a while, saying he would endeavor to have Miss Tittball of Oakland assume ber role. It was to be the first night’s production of “‘His Wife’s Father,” and Miss Rowan felt bound to carry out her contract and appear. Besides that she said: =¢T would go simply mad if I were to re- main alone in my room. I prefer to go on and forget.” Miss Rowan is a bright sunbeam in the life of every one around her. She is loved by her fellow-actors in the company for her charming individuality, and they are all unhappy that a cloud has come over her. Her lot is hardest because of being un- deserved, and the pain she suffers is more poignant by the reason of her alertness in conversation. A few evenings ago she was talking to a newspaper correspondent who knew her to be a vigorous and ath- letic young woman. She spoke princi- paliy on the topic of fencing, as sheisan adept with the foils. “I fear no man!” she exclaimed, allud- ing to her particular ability as a swords- woman. “Not even Corbett?” was asked. “‘No, not even Corbett,”’ she answered. *I would challenge him.” The %wu was telegraphed all over the East anl was misunderstood apparently, for it came back as if Miss Rowan was posing as a pugilist. ‘Worse still, unkind people said her old father, ill in health and generally broken down, had committed suicide on that ac- count. g These are the reasons why Miss Rowan’s eyes were perhaps a little red on the stage and the tears filied them at times. ———————— Two Buildings Burned.
