THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 20, 1896. SOCIALISTS HOLD A CONVENTION Woman's Suffrage Favored and Free Silver Con- demned. NOMINATIONS ARE MADE Candidates for Lieutenant-Gov- ernor and Presidential Electors. ATTITUDE ON TRADES UNIONS. The Socialist Labor Party Has De. clared Itself for a State Campaign. The red flag floated with the stars and stripes above the old Temple at 115 Turk street yesterday, for inside the Socialist Labor party was holding its State Con- vention. Delegates from Oakland, San Jose and San Francisco were present and though their number was small there were sin- cerity and enthusiasm sufficient for a large political convention. The meeting was called to order at 10 A. m., with George Aspden as temporary chairman. He in- troduced Miss Susan B. Anthony, who was present to speak on behalf of woman’s suffrage. Miss Anthony was received with ap- plause. Shesaid: “Iam, as you know, & non-partisan in politics. I am as good a Socialist this morning as I was a Republi- can at last night’s meeting in Berkeley or a Democrat at the Buckley raufication meeting a week ago in the Metropolitan Temple. I am not a stranger in your labor conventions or the councils of labor’s representatives. “Away back years ago I was a delegate from a working-woman's club in a labor congress held in my home city. Among the most weicome and encouraging greet- ings extended to the woman’s National suffrage organization in its work for the cause of egual rights, none has arrived that could exceed in its sincerity the aid and sympathy received from the socialist ueml?icratic organizations throughout the world. “Your party has been the pioneer party to recoznize our claims and to embody a female suffrage plank in your platform. On my arrival in your City, it was my pleasure and privilege to address your members before one of the socialist branches. 1 hope to have the pleasure of cominz before you again during the next few weeks.” In conclusion, Miss Anthony related an account of the work done by the woman suffragists in the various State conven- tions. The convention at once proceeded to the election of permanent officers, with the following results: George Aspden, chairman; Hecht, secretary. Commiitee on_credentials—H. ‘Sahlender, A.J. Mervy and William Lewis. Committee on platiorm and resolutions— James Anarew, A.J. Mervy, G. B. Benham. Almost immediately the committee on credentials reported the following named delegates present and entitled to seats in the convention: State executive—Emil Liess, Theodore Lynch, Leo Grasser, Hermann Sahlender, G. . Benham, Gustave Postler, E. T. Kingsley, Edel Hecht, San Francisco section, Jewish branch—Wil. liam Lewis, H. Bernard. Liberty branch—H. Warnecke Jr., Leo Grasser, G. W. Metzger, W. M. Willey. German branch—H. Warnecke, H. Sablender, H. Benhke, A. Edel Miller, H. Franck, C. Prossak. 'American branch—George Aspden, G. B. Benham, E. T. Kingsley, E. W.Carpenter. ;Dekiend section—James Andrew, John H. ones, San Jose section—A. J. Mervy. The report of the committee was re- ceived and the convenion adjourned until afternoon, when the committee on plat- form would be ready to submit a report. At the opening of the afternoon session Chairman Aspden called for the report of the State executive. 1t was recommended in this report that the convention confine its work to the nomination of officers to be voted for by the State— .hat is for Pres- idential Electors and a Lientenant Gov- ernor—and leave the nomination of Con- gressman and Assemblyman to Congres- sional and Assembly districts. The report stated that financas were at a low ebb. But $10 haa been received by the State committee from the sale of due stamps. It had transpired;that secretaries of sections and branches, instead of re- ceipting dues with those stamps on mem- bership cards, simply signed the papers. Such cards were declared invalid and per- sons holding them were not members of the party. The report also stated that steps have been taken to organize a strong section in Stockton. The committee on platform and resolu- tions presented the following resolutions which were discussed and adopted seria- tum: RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, WHEREAS, Attempts have been made in cer- tain quarters to rekindle religious feuds which should have no part in the political or econ- owmic discussions of civilized countries in these times, be it Resolved, That we express our detestation ot all organizations based upon. religions intol- erance and regard them as mere devices to di- vide the workers, play into the hands of pos- sessing classes and to” perpetuate the present exploiting system. WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE. WHEREAS, The platiorm of the Socialist La- bor party contains a plank declering in favor of woman's suffrage; and.whereas, the pro- posed smendment to the constitution of the State of California, known a&s the eleventh amendment, s in_sccordance with said plank in said platiorm, therefore, be it Fesolved, That the Socialist Labor party of Californiz, in convention assembled, indorse the eleventh amendment and recommend its members to vote therefor. THE SILVER QUESTION. ‘WHEREAS, We feel the sureness of no assist- ance coming to the producers by any mone- tary arrangement except by & circulating me- dium based upon average social labor per- formed; and whereas, we recognize in the struggle for and against the free coinage of silver, at the ratio of 16 (o 1, merely a contest of classes of capitalists as to a division of the products of labor and a phase of the debt-rid- den middle-class struggle for existence; and whereas, such Iree coinage would be benefi- cial, if at ali, to other than the producing class, who are propertyless and debtless, but creditors in employment; be it Resolved, That we disapprove of the free coin- age of silver, at a ratio of 16 to 1, by the United States, as being ciass legislation for the debtor class, detrimental to the interests of the wage-earners, tending to further despoil the producers by cheapening their labor and reducing their purchasing power. NEW TRADES-UNIONISM. WHEREAS, The Socialist Labor party of the United States, sympathizing with the efforts of organized labor in its struggles to defend itself against the aggressions of organized capital, is now and always has been thefriend an ive supporter of trades-unionism; wisely guiding iton 1ines looking to the final emancipation of the working class and guarding it against designing _individusls who seek to keep the rauk and file 1n ignorance of the means where- by elone, freedom and the full products of their labor ean be secured to the workers, viz.: collective ownership and control of land and the tools of production; and, whereas, the en. franchised workers cannot make their ballots effective while in ignorance of their clas- character and conditlon they continue to cas! their votes on election day for the party tickews of those who own and eontrol the means whereby they (the workers) are heid in bond- age, whatever rosy promises the political lead- ers as candidates for office on capiialist party tickets, may hold out to them; therefere, be it Resolved, Bmh convention of the State sec- tions of the Socialist Labor party in San Fran- cisco, Cal., assembled, that we unqualifiedly indorse the “new trades union” movement as evidenced in the Socialist Trades and Labor Alliance of the United States and Canada, and that we approve the San Francisco Trade and Labor Alliance’s laudable efforts to wrest from the unclean hands of sham labor leaders the rank and file in the trades unions, who are being unconsciously used to help so-called “friends of labor” fo pclitical positions while standing on party platforms designed and drawn up by the avowed enemies of labor. And be it further Resolved, Tuat, belleving in the worker re- wvmitnemn product of his labor, we call upon the rank and file in organized lsbor to forever casi off the party yoke of its industrial masters and work with and vote with the Socinlist Labor party—the only party of the prople in the United States. The resolution condemning silver called out some strong language. Aucust Miller declared: “The working classes of the United States are crazy on the silver ques- tion. What good does it do the Socialist Labor party to bring the question before the public? Better toiznore italtogether. Edel Hecht, the secretary, replied that it was a question which the Socialist Labor party could not afford to ignore. *‘It is of vital interest to the working people.” he =aid, “‘and, therefore, I am in favor of put- ting the party en record as declaring against the fallacy of silver.” £ “If the people are crazy,” exclaimed James Andrew, “then it is the dutv of some one to cure them. Is it right, th_gn, to leave the people in their ignorance? Recommendations were made by the committee that a party paper in English be established on the Pacific Coast; and also that a manifesto be issued to voters of California calling attention to the en- croachments of machinery and the conse- quent distress; the waste and want engen- dered by merciless competitors and the chaotic state of mind and society destroyed by present chaotic and planless individual production and distribution, and the utter inadequacy and worthlessness of the voter sustaining any political measure except clear-cut propositions for a co-operative commonwealth. Nominations were then in order. The chair announced that the party was not veta legal political party, but before the coming elections it wouid obtain signa- tures of voters all over California and pre- sent to the State officials a petitior of at least 3 per centum of the voters for a place on the ticket. James Andrew of Berkeley was nomi- nated for Lieutenant-Governor. Emil Liess, editor of the San Francisco Tageblatt, and L. Biddle of Los Angeles were named for Presidential electors. The Tageblatt was commended by vote and declared to be the workingmen's paper in the German language in Califor- nia. Singing the Murseillaise, the convention adjourned to the call of the chair. POMONA S5COHOOL WAR. Professor Molyneaux’s Resignation De- manded by the Trustees. LOS ANGELES, CAL., July 19.—Profes- sor Molyneaux, principal of the pubhc schools at Pomona and one of the “‘solid four” trustees of the State Normal School in this city, is having a peck of trouble at the home end of his double official labors. At a meeting of the Pomona Board of Education yesterday a resolution was pre- sented by F. K. Adams and unanimously passed requesting Superintendent Moly- neaux to resign. This brought about an angry discussion, Professor Molyneaux contending that the board had neither the moral nor the legal right to make this de- mand, upon the heels of his vindication of the charges recently preferred against him, The board took the ground that, in view of his virtual promise to resign whenever three members of the board should request it, the time had arrived when it would be best for the interests of the schools in Pomona that he step out. Finally another resolution was passed demakding his resignation, declaring that the board considered the office now vacant, and reguiring that on or before Monday next Professor Molyneaux inform the board what he intended to do in the matter. Erofessor Molyneaux said that he would hold the members of the board personally responsible for his salary. NEWS OF MARE ISLAND, Stores Sent to San Francisco to Be Placed Aboard the Oregon. Secretary of the Navy Herbert Ex- pected to Visit the Station Soon. VALLEJO, CaL., July 19.—Hundreds of | boxes of stores of all kinds are being packed and sent to San Francisco on the navy-yard tug for the battle-ship Oregon. It is safe to say that the officers on the big white leviathan have had a monkey and a parrot time in unpacking and stor- ing the gear away, as much of the stuff bas never been used on board ship before, and being new to some of them it is hard to tell what it is for. According to a letter Senator Perkins sent to the Board of Trade of Vallejo there was no particular reason why the Oregon went into commission at 8an Francisco in- stead of Vallejo except that the contractors haa completed her and it was in the dis- cretion of the Government to receive the ship in the harbor of San Francisco or to order ber to Vallejo, and the admiral con- sented to receive her in San Francisco. By so doing the contractors saved the cost of taking the Oregon to Mare Island. This statement explodes the story of shallow water in the channel. The Ore- gon, however, is not likely to come up to the navy-yard at present, but will go over to Sausalito and remain for a time before going northward. Work of all kinds is beginning to be rushed at the yard. Over 1000 men are now employed. The Bennington is about ready for sea, and if orders are not re- voked will go north to join the Philadel- phia. It was first presumed the Benning- ton would goto China and relieve the Yorktown, but such will not be the case. The United States ship Alert will come to the yard after the men have had liberty at San Francisco. She will be placed out of commission and hauled out into the Row, to remain until a tull comes in other and more important work. It is not ex- cted it wHl be, iike the mniur, trans- ormed 1nto a gunboat. Workmen are busy aboard the Ranger, and when they finish the vessel will be far more comfort- able than the modern gunboats, without masts, sails or spars. 2 The Bureau of Equipment will send 160 homing pigeons to the yard, for use in carrying messages from ships-of-war while at sea to the navy-yard. A large and bandsome cote is to be erected on the hill, near the steam engineering storehouse. Passed Assistant Surgeon Annan Far- rentolt arrived at the navy-yard this morning on his way to the Navy hospital from the monitor Monterey. A branch of the steam en ineer(u%uhop 1is to be located in yards and docks build- ing, to expedite business on board ships when lylnfi at the quay wall unaergoing repairs. Men now have to walk to the shop at the upper ena of the island if they wish a tool or piece of iron to work with. The Secretary of the Navy is expected to visit the yard in a short time. No par- ticular demonstration is looked for from the citizens on his behalf. That his visit will result to the benefit of the yard goes without saying. The cruiser Charleston is being dis- out of commission mantled and will go ?ne Baltimore has a in a short time. small gang working on the engines. It will be six months or more before the cruiser be ready for sea. e ————— Loaxs on diamonds. Interest low.

Exhibition of High Diving and Faney Swimming by Lurline Experts. The growing public interest in the sub- ject of physical culture was evidenced yesterday by the unusually large crowds of spectators assembled at the various | salt-water swimming and bathing estab- lishments of the City. At the Lurline Baths, on Larkin street, there was no end of fun and excitement. The swimmers vied with one another in the execution of fancy strokes, high dives, double somersaults, etc., and their exhibi- tions of aquatic skill were heartily ap- plauded by the admiring spectators. Every Friday evening at the Lurline there are contests at polo—football in the water—followed by a varied exhibition of high and fancy ng and swimming, The dpo\o team, consisting of Captain J. A. Geddes, forward; Ed Stolle, forward; W. C. Pomin, center; E. Schanz, left-vack; M. ‘de Lyon, right-back, and K. B. Stolle, goalkeeper, now bolds the J. D. Spreckels trophy—a magnificent silver cup—and is greplred toplay any amateur team on the acific Coast for the championship. Many notable swimmers may be seen any Sun- day in the tank of the Lurline. Dan Renear, 17 years of age and a native of New Jersey, is the champion amateur 100-yard swimmer of the Pacific Coast. His time of 1 minute 5! seconds is a United States record, and was made over the official course of the Lurline last De- cember. He has a peculiar over-hand stroke of much power. He is a fancy diver and all around springboard and trapeze per- former. The champion quarter of a mile swim- mer is Ed Stolle, a native of San Fran- cisco, only 16 yvears of age. His record is | 6 minutes 40 2.5 seconds. . He is also the | champion 220-yard swimmer, at which | distance his best time is 2 minutes 45 sec- onds, He is assistant captain of the polo team and one of its strongest players. in his races lie uses a powerful side stroke to great advantage. He is willing to meet any amateur on the coast in a quarter-of- a-mile contest. J. A, Geddes, the captain of the polo team, is a Stockton boy of 19 years. He is a long-distance swimmer, with a long sweeping side stroke, and is anxious to meet any amateur in a mile contest. He is the only successiul imitator of F. W, Huntington, the champion long-distance amuieur. For quarter and half miie con- tests Geddes holds several m-dals. His record for one mile is 28 min. 59 sec., for half a mile 13 min. 20 sec. The champion high diver and president of the Lurline Clubis W. C. Pomin, who has nothing left of his right band except the thumb. He dives from a dizzy height of 74 feet 6 inches into eight feet of water in the tank pelow as coolly as a sailor would spring out of a boat. He also tarns double somersaults in the air and takes a header in the water.

Henry S. Tanner Speaks of an Ancient and Modern Christianity. President Henry S. Tanner of the Cali- fornia Mormon mission addressed a gath- ering in Pythian Castle last night upon the ‘“‘Apostasy from Primitive Christian- ity.”” He said: “When we compare the sects of modern Christendom with the church of Jesus Christ as established by Jesus we see a wide and remarkable de- parture from the faith once delivered to the saints, The existence of various op- posing religionsis conclusive evidence that men have been engaged in theirinvention, for God’s mind is one, men’s minds are various. ‘“‘The infant molds from the clay a rude figure which it calls a goat, but as the child Brow; aptness we see ihe development of its designs until we discern the perfect model. Instead of this evolution in re- ligion there has been a deterioration which reveals the device and cunning of men. Paul said that the second advent of Christ would not come until a ‘falling away’ should occur, when men would not endure sound doctrine. *The combined powers of the world changed and de- ranged the beliefs and practices of the church, until she was divested of her purity, simplicity and unanimi ty andher members driven from the earth by the winds of oppression.

Several Big Officials Have Arrived to Discuss the Oriental Passenger Question. A consultation of railroad magnates is to be held here during a large part of this week, presumably to discuss the Oriental passenger traffic to this port and to devise means for successfully competing with the Canadian Pacific and with the several prospective Japanese steamship lines that will have termini north and south of San Franeisco and will help to divert the pas- senger tratfic both from this port and from the Eastern railroad lines now catering to the travel through this City. Last night W. B. Kniskeon, general agent of the Cnicago and Northwestern Railroad, arrived at the Palace from Chi- cago and the membership of the confer- ence was then complete. in the forenoon Thomas D. McKay, general passenger agent at Yokahama, of the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company, of the Pa- ciic Mail Steum:hip Company, of the Union Pacific, and of the Chicago and Northwestern Rzilwav, arrived on the China from Japan. Friday night E. L. Lomax, general agent of the Union Pacific Railroad, arrived from Omaha. They are all here for this meeting, in which representatives of the Southern Pacific #ill also have a voice. ‘When seen at the Palace last night Mr. Kniskeon was not very communicative uppn the exact nature of the conference. “Just a littie dark-lantern talk we’ve arranged, that’s all," he said. “Tom Mc- Kay has been nut there eighteen months, and we wanted to talz over the commerce 10 this port. We feel no alarm on account of the prospective Japanese line to Seattle. ‘There is bound to be a general increase in travel from the Orient, and we’ll never notice the competition.’” Mr. McKay with his inimitable cordial- ity was also uncommunicative upon the business that will be transacted, but he declared very emphaticaliy that the meet- ing was not occasioned by any dissatisfac- tion with the manner in woich he has handled his end of the line. —_— e ‘With His Little Hatchet.

THE GOLDEK WEST CLUB Young Republicans Whose First Vote Will Go for Me- Kinley. An Organization Rapidly Increasing in Strength and Influence in Local Politics. The fact that the young men of San Francisco have taken a deep interest in the political issues of the day is encour- aging, for it shows there is no apathy in the ranks of the people regarding the fundamental principles of self-govern- ment. Of such material are the members of t.hdo Golden West Republican Club com- sed. This club was first organized in March, 1892, of young men who at that time were ahout to cast their first votes. In 1894 the club assumed manhood proportions, and by udding stili more members, all young men, it made its power felt at the last elec- tion. Now once more, with its originators and with acquired knowledge in the sci- ence of government and still adding to its roll, it has become one of the.leading young men’s Republican clubs of the City. The officers and members of this club are machanics and workmen in shcps, and manufacturing institutions, where labor is respected and idieness despised. In potitios they are Republican, not because their fathers before them bad affiliated with that party, but from their own ex- perience, learned by a careful study of the principles of that party, 3 The following are the officers elected on the evening of last Friday at Federation Hall, Howard street: President, William B. Crane; vice-president, John Crowley; recording secretary, James Carroll; treas- urer, Louis Sericano: corresponding sec- retary, Frank Wail; executive committee— William P. Connors, J.J. Dauginey, T. McDermott; sergeant-at-arms, Ed ~Bir- mingham. Afier the election of officers speeches were made by several of the members. The club unanimously indorsed the Ke- publican plattorm as formulated at the St. Louis convention and Hon. William Mc- Kinley, the pominee. Three rousing cheers were also given for John D. Spreckels. 2005500 om0 ool 3 b ] 8 2 9 °0R=0R 60, TRE 17 00 R= 0ORTOR 0 00 0Xao° = -S/}Qfine aemg 28°Vi(E!

A BULLET IN HIS HEAD. The Killing Was the Outgrowth of an Old Highbinders’ Feud. THE VICTIM A CLAM-DEALER. He Was One of the Sam Yup Family That Was Under a Boycott by the See Yups. Lee Ti,a Chinese clam and fish dealer, was shot to death shortly after midnight in the hallway at the foot of the stairs leading to a gambling den at 25 Waverly place. The murderer, who is still un- known, fired two shots at his victim. The first bullet struck the wall, but the second bit the Chinaman in the back of the head. The assassin fled to Clay street and dis- appeared around the corner, but his victim was dead almost before he could have gone two blocks. Ti had been in the gambling house and went out to get a bottle of whisky. Itwas on his return that he met his death. A Japanese named H. Ito witnessed the murder, and said that Ti1 was evidently aware that his enemy was following him, for the Jap noticed that a second man was evidently iying in wait close to the hall- way for the clam-dealer’s return. Officer J. D. Long was standing on the corner of Washington street, and although he went on a run to the spot he did not see the one who did the shooting, because in the excitement a dozen or more Chinese began to run in all directions. The officer ana Morgue officials are of the opinion that after the first shot Ti slipped and fell on his face and that the murderer placed the weapon against the back of the prostrate man’s head and fired the second shot. The bullet went through the man’s head and made its exit at his nose and then went through the floor. He had a wife, with whom he lived at 726 Commercial street. Last night's murder was the culmina- tion of a long-standing emnity between the See Yup and Sam Yup companies. About a year ago the See Yups declared a boycott on the Sam Yup company. This boycott has been oppressing China- town’s poor for almost a year, and as its effect has raised the price of all Chinese commodities fully 20 per cent it is evident that the poverty-siricken 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 1n consequence Chinatown is bubbling over with excite- ment. | A few weeks ago the strongest Chinese faction in this City, known as the Wong family, under the leadership of Chee Tong, withdrew from the See Yup Com- pany, with the object of breaking the boy- cott on the Sam Yup Company. Highbinders stalked through the streets discussing the withdrawal or the Wong family and trouble was imminent. An extra force of policemen was detailed to patrol the streets of the Mongélian quar- ter. They were instructed that in event of a riot or trouble of any description they were to use all the means in their power to preserve the peace. Up toa few weeks ago Chee Tong was the secretary of the See Yup Company, but he was discharged on some pretense or other, and forthwith laid plans to equal- ize the score. First be got the Wong family to with- draw from the See Yup Company in order to break up this boycott. Then he issued circulars stating that any member might buy wherever and what- ever he pleased and at whatever place he could get what he wanted the cheapest. He also stated that in case of any trouble the Wong family would take a hand, and, if necessary, resort to force of arms. Upon heariag this the See Yup Company immediately postea circulars all over the Chinese quarters. Groups were scattered through the streets, deeply interested in the lurid-colored posters. Kong Chow, secretary of the See Yups and a member of the Bo Ong Tong Society, was the person who issued the circulars, which are freely transiated as follows: Members of the See Yup Company do not stir up any trouble. We made & contract last July to boycott the Sam Yup Company, and as the Wong family has withdrawn we must see that they are brought back into the combina- tion. Actlike gentlemen and make no trouble on thestreet. Use discretion so as to uphold the honor of the company, but be firm and stand by the contract. The See Yup has twelve societies and made s contract to boycott the Sam Yup Company overa year ago last July. This bus caused many murders and in all probability will cause many more. Riverside Murderers. Sheriff W. B. Johnston of Riverside and one of his deputies arrived at the City Prison yes- terday afternoon from San Quentin with two brothers, Cesar and John Cummings. The Sneriff will leave with the two brothers for Riverside this morning, where they will be sentenced to be hanged for the murder of Raucher Narramore last August. They were sentenced to be hanged about four months ago, but their attorney mcved for a new trial, which the Supreme Court has refused. ————— Fisher Arrested.
