8 ; THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 1896. AUMIRAL SLOATY GREAT GRANDSON A Descendant of the Hero of Monterey Who Lives in San Francisco AND IS A NATIVE SON. Seems to Have Been Ignored by the Committee in Charge of Monterey Celebration. HE MAY BE PROMINENT HERE. The Rear-Admiral’s Family—Memen. tos for the Cornerstone of the S oat Monument That May Not Be Deposited. In view of the approaching celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the conquest of California by the United States, that will be observed at Monterey on the 7th of July, ana by the raising of the flagin this City, on the 9th of the same month, in commemoration of the seizure of Yerba Buena, it may be interesting to many to know that there is resident in this City a andson of Rear-Admiral John Drake Sloat, who in the name of the United States took possession of the country. His name is James Bayard Whittemore Jr. He resides at 91614 Oak street, is a native of San Krancisco, and is now in his twenty - first year. He has two aunts, Mrs. Jeanette Sloat Walker and Mrs. Mary Ann McKeon Hecker, who at this time are residents of Beabright, N. J. These Iladies liave had an interest in the preparations that have been going on for the celebration at Monterey, and they made a search for relics that*had at one time belonged to their grandfather, with the idea of having such placed in the cornerstone of the monument that is to be erected to the memory of J. D. Sloat and in honor of the great event his act on the 7th of July, 1846, marks in the history of this State. The ladies, however, were not as suc- cessful as they expected they would be, for when they made inquirses they discov- ered thatall or nearly all had disappeared. They did succeed in securing a picture of | their grandfather as a civilian, and one of his wife also, one of his being in the uniform of a rear- admiral of the United States navy, and a small strip from a writing-desk made from pieces of wood from the British frigate Macedonian, captured by Sloat, then sail- ing-master of the United States frigate Uniied States. In a letter to their nephew the ladies write: As our nephew and the great-grandson of Rear-Admiral John Drake Sloat, we wish you, and you alone, to be the one to place what few little mementos we have been able to send you, in the cornerstone of the monument 1o be erected to the memory of our grandfather. Your aunt Mary Ann sends you for the same purpose a small strip of wood that has fallen irom the inside of the desk made from wood taken from the Macedonian, which was cap- tured by our grandfather, & history of which accompanies it. That, you might read aloud, if permitted, as we are both anxious that you should have & voice 1n the proceedings. We Tegret our inability to be present. The history of the desk referred to in the letter is as follows: This desk was made on board of the United States frigate United States for Lieutenant John Drake Sloat from material collected on board of the British frigate Macedonian, Cap- tain Carden, immediately after her capture on the 25th of November, 1812, by the frigate United States, commanded by Commodore Stephen Decatur. The mahoganyis a part of a bureau which belonged to one of the lieuten- ants of the captured ship, who broke it In pieces to prevent its being useful to the cap- tain, declariog that ““the Yankees should not have it.” The ebony is of the sextant belong- ing to another of the officers, who destroyed it for the same reason. The oak was taken from aplank which had several shotholes in it. It formed a part of the side of the Macedonian. The silver clamps and plate were made from some of the silver dollars received by Lieuten- srt Bloat as prize money for the capture of the ship. The desk was afterward presented to Miss Abby Gordon, who became Sloat's wife on the 27th day of November, 1814. JOHN D. SLOAT. Mrs. Sloat, on this anniversary of her birth, the!6th of November, 1859, delivers this desk to her daughter Jeannette, the wife of John McKeon, in trust for her granddaughter, Mary Ann McKeon. Mrs. Sloat, now the wife of Commodore John D. Sloat, attained the age of 64 years this dey. ABBY SLOAT. The attention of Major E. A. Sherman was called some time since to the fact that young Whittemore was in this City, and he intimated that he would make arrange- ments to have him take part in the pro- ceedings of the day at Monterey, but the programme of that event, as printed, shows that the young man has been left out. “If I am to be ignored,” said young ‘Whittemore, ‘‘the only mementos of my greai-grandfather will not be deposiied in the cornerstone. My aunts have sought hign and low for some which wonld be more attractive than this little piece of wood and the photographs, but they could not find even his epaulettes or a button that belonged to his uniform. There were a number of things that belonged to the rear-admiral that passed to his son War- rington. When Warrington died, 8 num- ber of years ago, alawyer of New York got possession of them, and he dnd the articles are not to be found.” Should the great-grandson not be in- vited to take part in the Monterey celebra- tion it is very likely that he will be asked by the Exempt Fire Company, that wiil celebrate the anniversary of the seizure of Yerba Buena on the 9th, to read the proclamation that was read at the time of the lowering of the Mexican colors and the raising of the stars and stripes, in token of California having become Ameri. canized. The group of pictures presented repre- sents the hero of Monterey in the uniform of rear-admiral of the United States navy, also in the dress of a civilian; Abby Sloat, his wife; Mrs. Jeanette Eliza Sloat, daugh- ter of Rear-Admiral John D. and Abby Gordon Sloat (married the first time to James Bayard Whittemore in 1839, and then to John McKeon in 1854); the two granddaughters of the rear-admiral, Mrs, Jeanette Sloat Whittemore, who married Henry Perrine Walker in 1874, and Mary Ann McKeon, who married George . Hecker in 1877; also the great-grandson, James Bayard Whittemore Jr.,and the coat-of-arms of the Sloat family.

SI2AT 1 2 & John Drake Sloat, the Naval Officer, Who Took Possession of California Fifty Years Ago, and Some of His Descendants, Including His Great-Grandson, a Resident of This City. : Jan Pietersen Sloat, who immigrated to | Bancroft, then Secretary of the Navy. | the United States from Holstein in | 1654. John Drake Sloat, who be- | came rear-admiral, was born in Goshen, Orange County, N. Y., in 1780. He| was the posthumous son of Captain | John Sloat, who was accidentally shot by a sentinel in Rockland County shortly be- fore the close of the War of Independence. | | After the death of her husband Mrs. Sloat, who was a Miss Drake at the time of her marriage, removed to Goshen, where the future bero of Monterey was born. BShe, however, did not long survive her husband, and her son was taken care of by her parents. His grandfather Drake gave him such education as the schools of the time provided and instilled into his mind the necessity of becoming an active and useful man. When 20 years of age Bloat went to Washington, sought an in- terview with President Jonn Adams and without much parley iold him that he wanted to be appointed a midshipman in the United States navy. The off-handed manner in which he made the demand so impressed the President with the idea that the youth would make a good one at sea that he had him appointed a midshipman on the 12th of February of that year. He was ordered to the frigate President, un- der Commander Truxton. Then he served under that strict disciplinarian, Commander Chauncey, and from him learned much that was of service to him in the future. In 1801, when President Thomas Jefferson, for reasons of economy, reduced the naval force, young Sloat took a furlough. His grandfather Drake hav- ing died, left him quite a fortune, includ- ing a dozen slaves, but being opposed to slavery he immediately gave them their | freedom. He then disposed of his recently acquired property and took command of a merchant vessel, which did not prove a successful venture. The war of 1812 with England forced him out of business, and he accepted the offer of Commodore Decatur to make him sailing master of the frigate United States with a promise of rising in the ranks. On the 25th of October, 1812, he managed, by skiliful maneuvering, to get into close quarters with the first-class frigate Mace- donian, and captured her. During the action he was wounded in the face, but re- | mained at his post. For this capture he ‘was promoted to the position of lieutenant, was publicly thanked by Congress and voted a medal. It was shortly after that that he married Miss Abby, the daughter of James Gordon, & prominent merchant of Norwich. After the close of the war, he took command of the scheoner Transit and loaded with merchandise for France. He was at Nantz when the great Napo- leon’s power came to an end, and it had been arranged that the little caporal was to be placed on his vessel and taken to the United States, but the whole plan fell through by reason of the indecision of some of the friends of Napoleon, and the once conqueror of the world was forced to surrender to the British squadron. After that he served as first lieutenant on the Franklin and from 1820 to 1822 he was first lieutenaut on the frigate Congress, which ok one occasion lay in the port of La Guayra when an earthquake occurred and a tidal wave drove twenty-three ves- sels on shore. Commodore Biddle was on shore at the time and Lieutenant Sloat, who was in charge, managed the frigate in such a manner that she was saved. After the blow was over Commoédore Biddle came on board and paid a high compli- ment to the lieutenant for his manage- ment of the vessel. After that Sloat took commard of the Grampus, and while sail- ing in West Indian waters captured the pirate ship Palmyra, and when off St. Thomas, with his men, saved that town from destruction by fire. The people in recognition of the service rendered sub- scribed a large purse which was offered him, but he declined it. After that he was master commander and went on a cruise on the Pacific in the 8t. Louis. ' In 1837 he ‘was promoted postcaptain, then the high- est position in the navy, and took charge | of Portsmouth Navy -yard, remaining there until 1844, during which time he superintended the rebuilding of the frigate Congress. He was then placea in charge of the Pacific squadron, and it was while in that position that he, took possession of Cali- {fornia in obedience to orders from George 1 | Labor party in political work was made From 1847 to 1851 he was in command of the na: vard at Norfolk. After he had | been placed on the retired list he was pro- | moted to commodore, and in 1866 he was created rear-admiral. He died in New Brighton on November 28, 1867. SOCIALISTS ORGANIZING Their First Political Club Formed in | the Thirtieth Assembly District | for the Campaign. The first active move of the Socialist last evening by the organization of an As- sembly district club of the Thirtieth Dis- trict. The socialists long ago determined to enter politics as a party this year, and much of their efforts for months past has been directed to this end. The plan was to begin in the districts south of Market street, where the laboring element pre- dominates and where the roots of social- ism have secured a strong hold in the soil of discontented society. The meeting last evening was held at 970 Folsom street, at the headquarters of the Jewish Branch jof the Socialist Labor party. State Organizer E. T. Kingsley called the meeting to order and explained what was expected to be accomplisked. He spoke of similar small gatherings that were held in the various countries of Europe a few years ago, and how they had increased in size and number until the socialists were represented in the ha’ls of state. He spoke of the progress the party had madein tbis country, and urged his hearers to carry on the work. Nearly thirty people signed the roll, and the club, when permanently organ- ized, will be known as the Thirtieth As- sembly District Branch, The following officers were elected:. William Edlin, cor- responding secretary; - William Lewis, financial secretary; B. Gold and D. Rat- ner, librarians. ~ To-morrow night the Thirty-second Assembly District will be organized. The State executive committee of the Socialist Labor party met last night at the Turk-street Temple. Leo Gasser was chairman. The committee received en- couraging reports from the various sec- tions throughout the State urging a vigor- ous campaign “against the forces of competition and monopoly,” and request- ing the State executive to challenge the old party leaders to a discussion of their political hobbies on the stump during the coming campaign. It was decided to do so, and a committee consisting of G. B. Benham and Theodore Lynch was elected to formulate a challenge to the State ex- ecutive committees of all existing parties, challenging them to debate the economic question or the dominant planks of their respective platforms. The secretary was iustructed to notify the various sections throughout the State to nominate delegates to a Staie conven- tion of the Socialist party, which will be held in this City Sunday, July 19. The various sections will be entitled to a rep- resentation of one delegate to every twenty-five members, POOLROOMS ARE OPEN. the Absence of Sausalito’s City Fathers, ‘““Commission’”” Men Do a Thriving Business. The Bausalito ‘‘commission” rooms are now running at full blast. Harry Corbett and Billy Harrison have obtained licenses from the Town Marshal to do business un. til the 15th of July. No arrests have been made, although there are rumors that there soon will be. Town Attorney Silya was going to swear warrants, out re- irained inasmuch as the poolroom men have the almost unanimous sympathy of the residents of the water front. Most of the Town Trustees are at present away on vacations, and Judge Pryor is also absent; so, in all probability, no definite action will be taken in the matter until the next regular meeting of the board on the first Monday in July. So again, as of old in Bausalito, the bookies’ blackboards are receiving their usual chalk, and fledgling sports wfio have aiscovered the ‘“‘system,” and have a dead sure thing, walk away sorrowfully from the poolrooms with less coin but more ex- perience. z A Market-Street Mortgage: Jacob Dusenberry has sued the estate of William Westerfeld for $25,000, due on a note secured by & mortgage on the Market-street property, between Six:h and Seventh strects. The note was made in 1888, and interest.on it was regularly paid up to May 29, 1896, ———— LOANS on watches, jewelry, sliverware, at Uncle Harrig', 16 Grant ayenue. FOR COGSWELL COLLEGE, New Features to Be Introduced Into the Course of Study. To Be Run Upder the General Man- agement of J. H. Culver—Prac- tical Aims. The publication in vesterday’s Carv of the story of the surprising changes at the Cogswell Polytechnic College and the Me- chanics’ Institute caused a general com- motion among the officers and employes of these two establishments. Early in the afternoon Dr. Cogswell strolled down to the library building on Post street to talk over tne business with Secretary Culver., Professor Buchanan and Trustee Ewing were also on hand. Dr. Cogswell, the founder of the college, thought it was very presumptuous in Pro- fessor Buchanan to criticize him or the policy of the trustees in the management of the school. The professor himself was as smiling and serene as usual and said that he should soon leave the City for Los Angeles to accept an_appointment in tke Throoo Institute. *‘If I do not find the surround- ings there congenial,” said the professor, “I shall return to San Francisco and enter into the service of the Public School De- artment. The university diploma which hold exempts me fromany preliminary examination.” The college, with an enrollment of 300 students, will be reopened Monday, the 27th of this ‘month. The trustees are highly pleased at having secured the ser- vices of James H. Culver. He will be the manager of the college 'and exercise a general supervision over both the business and scholastic departments. “For these duties,” said Trustee Ewing, “‘he is peculiarly well qualified. A pattern- maker by trade, an expert bookkeeper and acconntant, an experienced business man of rare executive ability, who is thor- oughly familiar with the modern methods of conducting a manual training institu- tion. What more could we desire? He will not personally teach a class in the academic department, but wili oversee the 810p WOrk, serve as the secretary of the trustees, look out for the receipts and ex- penditures, so that there will not be any waste of the finances, and see that the teachers preserve & proper discipline and go their duty to the school and the stu- ents. “There will be some changes in the course of study at the opening of the term. Clay modeling will be dropped and black- smithing will be taken up. Later on we shall have a foundry in operation and other practical features will be added from time to time. Our aim will be to fit students to baitle with the world. The foundation for this is an ability for them to make their bread ana butter. With this idea we teach millinery and dress- making to the girls, carpentry and iron- work to the boys aud typewriting, stenog- raphy, etc., to both sexes. Nearly all of the old teachers have been re-engaged and the few new ones will be employed in special departments.” The rmnnee of Secretary Culver will be generally missed from the library building on Post street and the Pavilion, where he has been a prominent figure for so many years. For his position there are already numerous applicants, but Robert Cash is not, as was inadvertently stated, one of the number. e PEERLESS ATHLETIC CLUB. A First-Class Entertainment Given by the Mission Athletes. The Peerless Athletic Club gave its first athletic exbibition last evening at its club- rooms, 2523 Howard street. Long hefore the hour appointed for the inaugural exhibition of the evening the gymnasium was packed with members of the club and invited friends. In the cen- ter of the building was erected an eighteen- foot ring, within which the wrestlers and boxers contested. Edward Broad, the snsidenl. made a few prief remarks, intro- uctory to ths':rorh of the evening, dur- ing which he said that the Peerless Ciub represented the better class of people in the Mission who have a predilection for athletic sports. He hoped that members would stanchly support sthletics, and jmith from the rapid increase in membership had no hesitancy in stating that the Peerless Club is destined o remain a permanent fixture, | and will, in the very near future, be recog- nized as the leading club of its kind in this City, with the Olympic Club excepted. The president’s remarks were received | with cheers, after which the performers were introduced. The programme was as follows: Three-round boxing contests between Riley and Lewis, Sullivan and Benicke, Madison and McCarthy, Lawlor and Skuse, King and McMahon. Lawlor’s manager announced that his charge was ready at any time to box Rubenstein of the Sacra- mento Athletic Club for theamateur cham- pionship of the coast. Wrestling between oe Michaels and Joe Meagles of the Peer- less Athletic Club, Lynch and ('asey of the Manhattan Athletic Clbb, Broad and Hew- itt of the Peerless Club and Professor Vin- cent White and T. V. Kingston. The lat- ter bout was very interesting, and pleased the large gatnering of members and spec- tators. Ralph Knolton and A. Lafille sanga few of the latest and most popular songs in ood style. Specialties by Collett and onlon were applauded. The very excel- lent evening’s entertainment terminated with a sword contest between W. A. Cook, ex-champion of the United States navy, and Fred Brown, champion of the Pacific squadron. The officers of the club are: Edward Broad £resident, A. Hewitt first vice-president, E. Castelhun second vice- president, J. 8. Mills secretary, L. J. Tur- ner treasurer, Adam Dahler sergeant-at- arms. The club will give its secoxd exhibition in a few months. T0 RECRUIT VOLUNTEERS, A Major in the New Army Ar- rives Here for That Purpose. He Says Ballingtoa Booth Could Not Possibly Return to the Salva- tion Army. Major Washington Blackhurst, the avant courier to this coast of Hallington Booth's American Volunteers, arrived in the City yesterday. He comes to establish a headquarters for the Pacific Coast and to give the new order a good start. As soon as he can complete arrange- ments he will begin a series of meetings. In the first place he proposes to make a full explanation of the situation with re- gard to the Volunteers, the causés that led up to the separation of Mr. and Mrs, Booth from the army. “Iam aware,” said the major yester- day, ‘‘that there bas been a great deal of misnfl)reunmuon concerning Ballington and Mrs. Booth, and this I want to cor- rect. Ialso wish to outline our work' and point out how it differs in detail from that of the Salvation Army. In the first place the Volunteers are to be essentially Amer- ican. It will have nothing of the auto- craticone-man power. Commander Booth will have his advisory council, and will be guided by them. The organization is “in its infancy, and it must have time to deveiop its plan. In the first place, however, it is to be in- corporated aud moneys coming into its trensu:f belong to the corporation. In the Salvation Army all money in this country is simply held in trust for William Booth, an alien. ‘“‘Another thing to be noted is that the Volunteers will have sacraments—that is they will celebrate the Lord’s Supper. “The Volunteer organization is growing vn;y rapidly. It has a large headquarters of four floors at 34 Union square, where there are no less than forty-two staff offi- cers and employes. There the Volunteer Gazette is printed, our organ, which has already a circulation of 20,000. ‘‘Colonel Fielding at Chicago has about forty posts in his district already estab- lished and doing well. His headguarters are in the Woman’s building, Chicago. *1 should say here,” continned Major Blackhurst, “that Commander Booth has no thought of returning to the Salvation Army. All reports to that effect he con- siders as intended simply to weaken his cause, I wasoneof the first staff officers to resign after hedid so. I went atonce to New York and was with him aunring the early hours of the controversy and nearly all the time since, s0 I know what he thinks and feels in the matter. He says he could not go back—they have treated him so badly that it would be impossi- bie—he is completely severed from the oid movement. 5 5 “'Still we have no spirit of antagonism to that movement. We stepped out of it for conscientious reasons, and sxmply 20 on with our work. I hope to be able t secure some prominent church where, in a few days, I can explain our plans in de- tail.’ Major Blackhurst was formerly private secretary to Colonel Fielding while the latter was in command at Chicago in the Selvation Army. He has since been pri- vate secretary to Commander Booth, and is now wearing the major’s stripes. The uniform of the Volunteers, by the way, is plain biue—no red in it. Major Blackhurst says Commander Booth will visit the coast very soon. TOOK THEM BY SURRISE Pheenix Club the Recipient of a Handsome American Flag. Presented on Behalf of the Women’s Republican Central Club by Addie L. Ballou. Last night was the occasion of a general jollification in the rooms of the Pheenix Republican Club at Scottish Hall, 111 Lar- kin street. The large assembly-room was crowded to the doorway. A uniform drill corps was organized amid the enthusiastic demonstration of the members. It is expeeted to play a leading part in the coming campaign. About seventy-five new members were admitted. This is about the average num- ber said to join the club every mzeting. The members are working might and main for accretions, and will not be satis- fied until they are known as the banner Republican club of the State. ‘hey have also adopted a new campaign button, designed exclusively for the Phee- nix Club members. As the mcetinf was drawing to a close a committee of three ladies from the Women’s Republican Central Club, with Mrs. Addie L. Ballou as its leader, arrived, | bringing with them a beautiful silken flag, the Stars and Stripes, In a very %rscefnl speech Mrs. Ballon presented the flag to the Pheenix Clab in the name of the Women’s Republican Cen- tral Club. Mrs. Ballou’s speech was receivea with applause and at its conclusion Colonel Eddy, president of the club, in a few brief and well-chosen words thanked the com- mittee and through them the Women’s Republican Central Club for their courtesy in thus remembering his organization. Vice-Presideut Powers then took the chair and Coionel Eddy moved that a vote of thanks be extended the Women’s Re- pablican Central Club _for its evidence of good-will and appreciation. The motion was unanimously carried by a standing vote. SOCIALISTS WILL PARADE. They Will Take Part in the Fourth of July Celebration. The central committee of the Socialist Lavor party met last evening, George Aspden presiding. All of the branches were represented. A charter was granted to the Thirtieth Assembly District branch, which was organized on Monday night, and the organizer was instructed to con- tinue the work of forming district branches all over the City. There was considerable discussion rela- tive to the socialists’ parade to be held on the Fourth of July. The socialists will drop into line with banners and mottoes at the end of the line, not, as they explain, as the tail of the capitalistic kite, but as an object lesson to the working people who are sure to line the streets. They are sure that the contrast between the gaudy display of the civic and mili- tary parade and the wace-earners and their wants and demands will make an impression on many whose thoughts are now turning to the inequalities of the ex- isting order of affairs. 4 The committes was waited on by a delé- gation from the Central Trade and Labor Alliance offering its services and assist- ance to the committee having in charge the coming parade and exercises on the Fourth. The Fraternity of Hotel and Restaurant Employes also offered to turn out at the demonstration. Both )ifers were ac- cepted. The committee elected Herman Sahl- euder grand marshal of the varade, and an active aud energetic committee was elected to arrange the Krehm(nuries. The commiitee will meet this evening at the Turk-street Temple at 7:30 o’clock. Out- door meetings will be held every night this week to advocate an enthusiastic in- terest in the celebration. This evening, under the auspices of Liberty Brarch, Socialist Labor party, there will be a ropeganda or educational meeting, at which John M. Reynolds will the principal speaker. HIs subject will be *“Methods and orces for Advancing Socialism.” The meet- ing will be held at the Turk-street Temple, and all who have not fully investigated the merits and claims of soeialist principles are cordially invited. ————— The Improvement Clubs.
