16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1896. THE SOLIB SEVEN ON THE VERGE OF DESPAIR Startling Revelations of Guilt May Be Made To-Day. GRAND JURY WITNESS. A Subpena is Out for a Well- Known Corporation Man. C. L. TAYLOR'S ATTITUDE. Apprehensive That the Promised Witness Will Evade the Jury’s Summons. The Grand Jury has determined to make further inquiry into certain transactions in the Board of Bupervisors. The fore- man of the jury will not divulge informa- tion in detail. He simply says: “We are going deeper.” It is certain that information hasreached the Grand Jury that a man prominently connected with one of the leading corpo- rations, recently favored by the seven ac- cused Supervisors, left the City Wednes- day evening. Mr. Maskey was asked yesterday if the name of this individual could be given. In reply he said: “You will know more of this incident to-morrow. The Grand Jury is not going to adjourn until the matter with the Supervisors is settled. ‘We are going deeper.”” It is said that the departure of this man, whose name Mr. Maskey would not di- vulge, created some comment among Supervisors. Rumor had it that he re- ceived a hint thata Grand Jury subpena had been issued summoning him to attend the session to-day. This is the true story of the incidents connected with the discovery of an im- portant witness who may go before the Grand Jury to-day and tell something that may lead up to the indictment of more than one Supervisor: When the Grand Jury adjourned one day last week Theo- dore Payne and Frank P, McLennan, tne secretary, were met in a corridor of the new City Hall by a well-known citizen, who said he couid give them the name of an individual of high standing, who could impart the information concerning certain Supervisors which the jury was so anxious 1o obtain. The jurors were, of course, highly grati- fied at the prosnect of positive proof. The name was given and an engagement’ formed io bring about an interview with the prospective witness. The hour fixed for the interview was 1 o’clock Saturday, and the place Theodore Payne’s office. At the appointed hour on Saturday Messrs. Payne and McLennan were on band to keep their part of the engage- ment. They waited for an hour, but no one else came. They were disappointed, but not discouraged. It was then agreea that Mr. Payne should undertake to find and interview the man whose name had been given as the possessor of important information. In due time Mr. Payne found the man, talked with him ana submitted the facts of the interview to the foreman of the Grand Jury. Yesterday a subpena was issued for the man in question, but soon the rumor spread that the expected wit- ness left the City Wednesday evening. Last evening Mr. Payne was asked if he could give the name of the witness who was supposed to know something of the peculiar transactions of the seven Super- visors. As the matter was not a Grand Jury secret, he was willing to say that a citizen of high standing and a man well known in the community had promised or reluctantly consented to appear before the Grand Jury to-morrow and tell what he knew of transactions with certain Su- pervisors. “Can you give the name of the gentle- man ?” ““It is not prudent or proper to do so at this time,” replied Mr. Payne. ‘‘Have you heard that he left the City last night?” “I heard so to-day,” said Mr. Payne, “but I do not credit the information that he has gone from the City. He stands too bigh in the community and is identified with too many interests and corporations to be away any great length of time. ““He may have goneont of town fora fewdays. I believe yetthat he will appear to-morrow in answer to the subpena and truthfully tell us what he knows. Recol- lect, hedid not seek to come before the Grand Jury and does not desire to come, but I take him to be a man who will not shirk a duty even if it is a disagreeable one.”’ “If it is nota Grand Jury cret, what NEW TO-DAY. [iedBrowns Jamaica (inger has maintained its reputation for 735 years as the most efficacious remedy for all com- plaints of the stomach.

Sold everywhere. FRED BEOWN 00., Philadelphig, barm can come of letting his name be known? “This harm,” said Mr. Payne. “It is vossible that xome business has called him out of town. Should itappear in the news- papers that he had disappeared and the Grand Jury be credited with the announce- ment that he had run away to avoid service, he might feel justly indignant and consider that tbe Grand Jury had acted imprudenily. He has nothing to fear himself. What he has agreed to tell under oath is in the interest of justice.” ‘‘Are thére many witnesses called for the meeting to-morrow ?’ “I have heard of only two, but there may be others.” *‘Is this expected 1mportant witness con- nected with the Spring Valley Water Com- pany, or with the transportation or light companies?"” “Well, you might guess if I should des- ignate the corporation, but I can say that he is not identified with the water com- pany. If he does not respond to-morrow 1 think there will be some good explana- tion of his absence and notice given wten he expects to return. “The jury is not going to adjourn right away. Should he be absent to-morrow we can wait a reasonable time for his re- turn to the City.” Frank P. McLennan, secretary of the Grand Jury, was seen last evening. He said he understood that important testi- mony regarding the action of certain Supervisors would be submitted to the Grand Jury to-day. “The little seed that we planied the other day has been watered and now promises to bear fruit,” con- tinued Mr. McLennan. “I do not know what this testimony will be and would not tell if Idid, but I do not mind saying that we understand that Mr. Payne, who was detailed to inter- view & well-known citizen, has been in communication with an important wit- ness. I do not know the name of this witness. No, I do not know that this wit- nesslef! the City yesterday. I have not seen Mr. Payne to-day. but talked with him over the telephone a few minutes ago.” A member of the Grand Jury whose name is at present withheld expressed the opinion that direct bribery was not re- sorted to by the corporation in the matter of lowering the assessments. He said: “The action of the seven Supervisors in the assessment reduction was part of the general agreement formed shortly after the board was organized, by which seven, if not eight, of the members consented to take care of the gas, water and street rail- way corporations in all municipal legisla- tion. *It is a proposition, plain on its face, that some agent or attorney of the inter- ested corporations gives outa hint occa- sionally to enlighten the ring Supervisors. Some one Supervisor in the compact may be trusted to signal or inform his asso- ciates as to what course should be pur- sued.” Supervisor Taylor was very much molli- fiea yesterday when he heard that the board had rescinded its action in taking the matter of municipal department ap- propriations ont of the hands of the Finance Committee, of which he is the head, and was in consultation with Super- visor Hughes, the author of the rescinding motion, for several hours. In fact, he has arranged for a vacation trip to Supervisor Hughes’ mines in Butte County when the board taxkes its annual rest. “Iam not at all sorry that the Grand Jury has taken up this matter of the bribery of Supervisors,’” he said, *but I fear that their efforts to probe the matter will prove futile, “The man who spoke to me of the cor- ruption among a certain clique in the board has been subpenaed to appear before tve Grand Jury, but there is a serious question in my mind whether he will make his appearance at the time set, owing to the publicity that has been given this affair through the columns of Tue CALL. *‘There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that certain Supervisors have been receiving money from the outside, that they had no right to receive, to protect the interests of certain corporations. “How many of these officials have bene- fited by the deal I am not prepared to say, but it will probably all come out now under the searchlight of the Grand Jury.” — THOSE NEW STEAMERS. Southern Pacific Officials Would Like to See the Japanese Ships Coming Here. The anticipated conference in con- nection with the prospective Japanese steamship line to the Pacific Coast of the United States did not take place yesterday. The Japanese representatives who are in this City for the purpose of making inves- tigations and obtaining information re- garding United States ports have stated that they will invite a meeting with Southern Pacific officials, the Traffic Asso- ciation aund other public commercial bodies. So far they have made no ad- vances in this direction. General Traffic Manager Smurr of the Southern Pacificsaid yesterday: “We have not yet had an interview with those gen- tlemen and as far as we know nothing has been done so far in the interest of San Francisco with regard to this enterprise.” “Your company would rather see San Francisco chosen at the American port for the new line than the Puget Sound poris or San Diego?” ‘‘Most certainly. Our people have vast interests here circling about San Francisco and naturally would prefer to see the steamers coming to San Francisco. I shali be very glad to ‘meet the gentlemen —the Japanese representatives—and talk with them. They will want to know what inducements San Francisco can offer them. So far as we are concerned we shall con- sider their propositions and meet them | half way."” The ’inlflic Association had taken no steps in tLe matter, and Manager Curtis was waiting to hear from the Japanese who have the selection of a port for their line in their power.

On the way one of the whecls broke, and Hough. ton and the lady returned to the cycle Houghton paid the rent for the good wheel, and because he declined to pay for the other Garrity followed him and the lady down the street, calling him a “deadbeat.” DOBBERTIN'S "KISS OF DEATH" His Latest Group Is Now Standing Finished in His Studio.

TRADE WITH AUSTRALIA United States Consul Bell Says We Are Neglecting a Chance. A Wonderful Commercial Country, but America Gets Little of Its Business. Colonel George W. Bell, United States Consul at Sydney, arrived here yesterday from Austraiia, and will address the Cham- berof Commerce this afternoon at 3 o’clock upon the commercial prospects of the different countries that have ports on the Pacific Ocean. This is a subject to which he bas given much attention, particularly with regard to the possibilities of the Unitea States asa factor jin Australian trade. ‘‘Australia,” said he last night at the Occidental, “leads the world in commerce. Its imports and exports are as great as those of any other country with five times the population. There isa large number of rich people in Australia. The result is Austraha buys more and sells more than any other country on the globe, ““We get about 6 per cent of the whole Australian trade, and about 2}4 per cent of the trade with Sydney. We ought to have 40 per cent of the trade. If we had a strong steamer line from here to Australia, a line such as is in operation between England and Australia, we could secure more of the trade, Then there might very easily be shipments of fresh fruits both ways in season, for when it is summer here it is winter in Anstralia. Fresh fruits are shipped to England, a distance of 12,000 miles, and I don’t see why they couldn’t be shipped;to this counrry, only half that distance, “Australia has some fine fruit country, but most of it is undeveloped. They are not handling their fruit well or givin, cvrorer attention to variety. New Sout ales is a particularly good fruitcountry.” Colonel Bell is an old-time journalist, lecturer and speculator, who has lived in ‘Washington State and Iowa. He has been Consul at Sydney for nearly three years. Recently, upon ‘invitation, he addressed the Chambers of Commerce of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne and like organiza- tions in the colonies. From here he will o to Washington State, and thence to ashington, D. C., returning here n a month and a half on his way back to Sydney. He will address the Chambers of Commerce of Portland and Seattle and probably of Chicago, by all of which he has been invited to speak. “THE CALL” CHOSEN.

Just as the kindergartens of the Golden Gate Association are about to open—forty ot them— # valuable giftin the way of clothing for the needy little ones has been sent to Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, the president of the association. It came from a society called the Cheerful Workers, who meet twice a week and sew th entire day. These Cheerful Workers have fur- nished the material and made 120 nice, com- fortable ents, including dresses, apron s e ey 00d & s clothin, Evhm itis n’n‘l'l needed, . i one-night at a high jinks of the Press Club, He denies that the Press Club was wholly responsible for the stimulus to his imagination, but says the spirit was upon him when he first attended those mys- terious festivities of a whole moon ago. Then, he says, the desire for artistic crea- tion became so strong in him that he left the esoteric rites about midnight and betook himself to his studio, where he labored feverishly on a shapeless mass of wet clay until long after the sun had arisen of vhe following day. When he rested he saw before him the first sketch of his masterpiece, the *“Kiss of Death.” Since then he has labored fourteen days in building up a half [ife-sized composi- tion of the idea thought out that night. The composition work is done, and the strong lines of the subject are beautifully portrayed. Now remains the delicate touches, the infinitesimal chips of the chisel that bring out the complete con- ception. The work shows a youth closely clasped in the embrace of a sphinx. His lips meet hers in the actof kissing. A lyrein his right hand seems on the point of falling from his grasp, while laurel leaves that before formed a wreath on his head now lie scattered at his feet. The face of the sphinx is that of a beautiful woman, but sensual and passionate. Her body is that of a lioness, and is crouched upon & rock. The fore paws clasp the body of the youth, The work is an epitome ot the history of love. The ideal conquered by the mate- rial. - The poet conquered in the moment of his highest aspiration by the love of this world. The poet has looked toward the sphinx, and the look has cost him his life. His lips find hers; his lyre falls and he ex- perienced the kiss that meant death to those lofty serener thoughts of solitude. “I sketched it in a single night,” said Mr. Dobbertin, “the thought came upon me so strong. It is the conquest of art by the animal love of the world. Ah—the sphinx—her face expresses the whole mys- tery of it. The poet is making the last effort for freedom, but he is caught and drawn down when he leasts expecta it. As my friend Sanchez says, ‘Life without art is life without heart.” Here is life and art to the uttermost, but art lost in life, 1t typities a sacrifice on the altar of the world.” — e BOTH WANTED THE DOG A Bitter Legal Fight Over a Canine in Justice Barry’s Court. The Animal Went to Either of the Litigants and the Court Was Puzzled. ‘‘Here, Sport! Here, Sport!"” *‘Come, Sandy! Here, SBandy!"” “Gentlemen—" ‘‘Here, Sport, comes to me."” “Nice old Sandy; knows his master, does he?” *“Your Honor, I object—"" “‘Bow, wow, wow.”" These and other expressions, human and canine, would have formed a portion of the record of Justice Barry’s court yes- terday had a stenographer been an adjunct to the tribunal, but as it was a very few of them found their way into Judge Barry’s notebook. Henry Payne was suing Stephen Case- nelli for the possession of a bright, intelil- gent-looking spaniel, both the parties claiming to have raised thedog and to know every spot on his wrigglin M!;'y' while the cln?no complicated mal From the appearance of the courtroom See that, Judge, how he acknowledging both owners. all of San Bruno was present to support one side or the other. Michael Higgins appeared with the dog, who was led Sport by Payne and Sandy by Casenelli, and then the swearing began. Both-of the Eflneip-ls identified the dog sosiliuly, and each was supported by a ozen of equally positive witnesses. In an unguarded moment Judge Barry had the custodian of the beast lead him to the front and commanded both liti ts to call him and see which he would answer. He had reason to regret his action within a moment, for the succession of yells and shouts that arose from the op- posing factions drowned even the frantic hammering of his gavel, and the dog, to complicate matters, rushed first to one and iben the other, showing equal affection for both. Under the circumstances the court took the matter nnder advisement, his remarks leading to the belief that the defendant would get the benefit of the doubt. HAYWARDS WEDDINGS. Rev. B, E. Wenk Explains the Manner " in Which They Took Place. The following seli-explanatory com- munication from Rev. R. E. Wenk of Haywards in reference to certain mar- riages performed by him recently was received yesterday: 1 performed the marriage ceremony for Her- bert 8, Bradley and Honora Brannan, both of Oakland, and on July 22 I did a iike ser- vice for Oscar W. Seaton and Ida S. Paterson of San Francisco. In both instances a license properly issued was produced, all questions were satisfactorily answered, and a suitable number of reputable witnesses were present. There was nothing secret or suspicious, nor was there any request that reporters be not informed. In each case Istated that I would have the marriages properly recorded and published, which I did the nextday. I have not been ap- plied to by any other parties irom Oakland or San Francisco recently to perform the mar- riage ceremony. R. E. WENK, Pastor Metnodist Episcopal Church, Hay- wards, Cal. EARLY HOURS DEMANGED Dry-Goods Men Assign Reasons for Six 0'Clock Closing on Saturdays. Call for a Mass-Mecting—Aid Will Be Asked of the Ladies’ Benev- olent Societies. The Dry-goods Men’s Early Closing As- sociation held its second regular meeting at K. R. B. Hall, corner Mason and O’Far- rell sireets, last night. The room was packed with members, and great enthusi- asm developed during the progress of the meeting over the early closing movement. At the last session of the organization a committee was appointed to wait on the directors of the Emporium and request them to close their dry-goods department at 6 o’clock on Saturday evenings. This committee reported that such had been done, but, being unable to see the di- rectors, it had conferred with William D. Harper, the general manager. The latter was quoted as being in favor of the idea, but informed the committee that they would be obiized to send in a written communi cation to the directors, stating their desire and the reasons there- for. This they reported they had done, but as yet had received no answer, whereupon they were requested again to wait upon the directors and if possible to obtain a definite answer. The' communication sent to the Em- porium directors states that smalier firms and corporations will follow their lead in closing at 6 P. M. Saturdays, and states that nothing will be lost by so doing, as purchasers will make ita point to do all theif shopping prior to 6 o'clock if all stores close at that hour. Various members suggested different ways of proceeding to effect a closing. Among them was the idea of making an appeal to the Native Daughters, Women’s Re}l)ioi Corps, Daughters of the Revolution and kindred organizations to buy no goods of dry-goods firms working their emplc%ees till 10 o’clock Saturday evenings. This suggestion met with a noisy and unani- mous approval. A committee on permanent organization was appointed as follows : P. Slattery, of the Maze; J. Clarkson, of Hale Brothers; J. Roberts of Kohlberg, Strauss & Frohman; D. 8. Costello, of J. J. O’Brien’s, and M. Cousins, employed in the White House. A resolution to make the temporary of- ficers permanent was d2feated on the ground that they were all employed by the same establishment and the officers skould be distributed among the various firms. It was resolved that after permanent or- ganization had been established a mass- meeting should be held at which well- known citizens should be asked to speak for and encourage them in the attainment of their expectations. The Dry-goods Men’s Early Closing As. sociation .is really a reorganization, the first body having been organized about four years ago. At that time they real- ized their hopes in securing the consent of all firms to close their doors early Sat- urday evenings. —————— Broke a Big Window. At 11 o’clock Wednesday night two men en- gaged in a fight on Montgomery street and one hurled a rock at the other. The rock missed the mark and crashed through a large plate- inss window in Hart Bros.’ tailoring estab- ishment at 116 Montgomery street. The noise caused considerable excitement for a time. The two men escaped in the darkuess after boing pursued for two blocks by Policeman olmes. NEW TO-DAY. School== ShoeS== easy on the feet.
